do you believe that 22 episode seasons are now "dead"?
For the most part, yeah. I do think there are a lot of factors that go into this:
1) Higher production costs leads to less episodes, especially since TV shows nowadays are pulling in A-list stars and putting out blockbuster-level effects. As someone studying entertainment law, the logistics behind making a show is so complex and costly that it’d be incredibly difficult to maintain high-level quality over a 22-episode run. So, it’s either less episodes/high quality or more episodes/less quality, and people are more likely to choose the former.
2) Because of streaming services, syndication isn’t as big of an issue. So there isn’t as much of a need for TV seasons to be 22-episodes long.
3) Much less tolerance from present day audiences for fillers/episodes that don’t progress the story. Just as an example of this, there’s a youtuber who goes by the name BasicallyIDoWrk who was doing a stream in which he showed his audience the “right” way to watch a show. His plan was to just watch the first two episodes, then skip to the end. Keep in mind, he was talking about Ahsoka, so even a 8-episode show is asking too much for people nowadays.
4) To hone in the point that “filler” episodes are no longer acceptable, remember the backlash to Eleven’s standalone episode in Stranger Things season 2. People HATED that episode and one of the chief complaints I saw was that it had nothing to do with the main storyline. And again, season 2 was only 9-episodes.
5) This is more of a personal observation of mine. I think people’s attention spans are much smaller nowadays, especially since a great deal of current entertainment is shorter and more centered on instant gratification. For example, Vine, TikTok, YouTube shorts, people focusing on hit singles rather than the whole album, and so on.

I’m wondering if Paramount/Sega is casting their Sonic movie universe via the characters’ most popular fancasts. Because I distinctly remember Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves being popular fancasts for Knuckles and Shadow.
If that’s the case, then I’m wondering who’s gonna be Amy Rose. Because on myCast, the most popular fancast for Amy is apparently Anna Kendrick. Hailee Steinfeld is up there as well.

Main Villain of Sonic 3: I heard you struck my son.
Rouge the Bat: Yes, sir, I did.
Main Villain of Sonic 3: And may I ask why?
Rouge the Bat: Yeah, well, because he stole Shadow the Hedgehog's motorcycle, sir, and, uh, killed Maria.
Main Villain of Sonic 3: [pause] Oh. [hangs up]

I saw a comparison that “American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes is WWE’s Captain America and now I can’t unsee it.
(Blonde hair and blue eyes, American gimmick, talks in a stiff “dignified” manner, underdog champ who refused to quit, performed in a match even though he tore his pectoral muscles, had a period where he was seen as a joke by people - aka Stardust - before gaining everyone’s respect)

Not gonna lie, the more I learn about Cody Rhodes’ history (as someone who is more of a casual fan), the more I’m convinced that there’s a solid, award-winning biopic in the wings for him. I mean, his life story includes:
* being the son of a legendary wrestler and struggling to live up to his legacy, while also forging his own path
* wanting to become WWE champion because his father was never one. And his half-brother, Goldust, as well. Cody did it for the Rhodes family name.
* struggling to get over with the crowd, especially since he was being given subpar gimmicks. Examples: Stardust, being Randy Orton’s henchman, being the handsome guy before becoming the ugly guy. (Okay, I did like the Undashing Cody arc, but I am glad he’s done with it lol)
* left WWE to forge a new path in AEW, which ended in disappointment. Still, he never gave up on his dream.
* literally tore his pecs, but wrestled anyways
* returned to the WWE and became one of the biggest babyfaces in years.
The last act of the movie obviously has to be Wrestlemania 40. That section alone would make for a great story. Just imagine it; Cody is told he has to step aside because the Rock will be fighting Roman at WM40, and then learning about how much support he got from the fans and their demands that he be allowed to “finish the story”. I can just imagine the fan backlash/support to Cody as this montage sequence, with the film score just going crazy in the background.
(But now the question is…who should play Cody?)

Did you know that some of Shadow the Hedgehog’s lines for Sonic 3 have been leaked? Here are some of the lines I saw from the leaks:
“Yeah.”
“Whoa.”
“Guns. Lots of guns.”
“Excellent!”
“Shoot the hostage.”
“I’m thinking I’m back!”
“The only stars that matter are the ones you look at when you dream.”
“I WANT ROOM SERVICE! I WANT THE CLUB SANDWICH, I WANT THE COLD MEXICAN BEER, I WANT A $10,000-A-NIGHT HOOKER!”
