Scooby Doo x Goosebumps

This better be some universal foreshadowing that we're getting a Scooby and Goosebumps crossover or I'll be so mad!

This week while I was in Barnes & Nobles I came across this and almost cried from joy. I'm a huge fan of Scooby- Doo and Goosebumps so this was just perfection. I know this was most likely a setup from leftover Halloween stuff, but I love it (also give the person a raise for the idea)!

Headcanon Time/ Scooby Doo x Goosebumps AU:

The Mystery INC is called by an anonymous benefactor to help find some missing people (mainly children) in a small town.

The gang jump to it since they love mysterious, but they love helping people more.

Once they arrive in the small town they begin investigating and hear strange stories around town for example: an evil dummy coming to life, a witch who grants terrible wishes, haunted mask that attach to people and turn them evil, cameras that predict omens, and so on.

At first the gang thinks it's another hoax and real estate plot, but the stories sound eerily familiar like something out of a 1980's -90's children horror book series.

The townsfolk don't trust Scooby - Doo due to his abilities to do things a normal dog can't possible do: speak human language, cook, dance, the works. This hurts Scooby and makes him start doubting himself (how dare you townspeople!).

The gang then investigate a writer who half the town think is responsible due to the kidnappings are similar to the horror novels he writes. When they meet the writer it's none other than *drumroll* R.L. Stine (who plays himself in the movie fanfic).

Mystery Inc: It's famous children's horror writer, R.L. Stine!

At first Velma is excited to meet the famous R.L.Stine, but after her encounter with Ben Ravencroft, she fears he'll be the same as Ben. Until -

R.L. Stine: So, you've met Mr. Ravencroft. How was he?

Velma: (Gloomy) I was excited to finally meet one of my favorite writers. Only to be disappointed when he turned out to be evil.

R.L. Stine: Yep! I met him before, he's a huge jerk! You should've met Stephen King aka the 'Adult horror writer of Goosebumps'.

Velma: *Perks up*

R.L. Stine reveals that he called them, and he is the cause of what is going on due to bunch of works he never finished/ can't find the ending for a current story from his old typewriter he had since he was nine, and if he can't come up with an ending soon things will get worse. The gang don't believe him and think all the rumors around town about him being the kidnapper are getting to him. The gang stays with R.L. Stine's place during the investigation and Scooby and Shaggy come across certain items from the Goosebumps, Fear Street, The Nightmare Room, and The Haunting Hour franchise. Scooby and Shaggy come across Slappy in his inactive state and unknowingly read his spell.

The next day Stine's home is trashed with a message in blood (or ketchup) reading: SLAPPY'S BACK!

Slappy (played by Jack Black or Cal Dodd) plans to possess Stein to bring a new era of horror to the world. He's been bringing all the monster/villains to life and the real world and framing Stine for the crimes.

Slappy: Hello papa, I'm back!

R.L. Stine: Slappy!

Slappy: That's right. Ooh! I see you got some friends and their dog.

Scooby: Rog rhere?

Shaggy: Check it out Scoob, the puppet really is haunted.

Daphne: Yeah, I guess we were due an evil dummy sooner or later.

Slappy: (Flabbergasted) W-what? You're not scared of me?

Fred: No offense Mr. Slappy, but we've dealt with real monsters before.

Velma: Zombies, cat-people cultist, witch's ghost, aliens, virus monsters, the list goes on and on.

Shaggy: Me and Scooby here even taught at a monster school once.

Scooby: Reah!

Slappy: Wow! I just met you people and I hate you already.

The gang and Stine recruit now adults Carly Beth, Danny Anderson, Hannah Fairchild (ghost child), and a few others to help end Slappy's reign.

There's an epic battle and the find a way to defeat Slappy and return everything to normal. R.L. Stein and the gang are cleared of all charges and are now heroes to the town!

It wouldn't be Goosebumps without a twist - Slappy survives and with his own typewriter he begins writing his own series. His first book is of the original Goosebumps series with an image of Mystery Inc. and R.L. Stine in the Mystery Machine with looks of terror on their faces.

I cannot believe this masterlist is almost a year old!! 🥳🥂🎉

(I was hoping to get this out on Friday as it was the last day of May, but I've had an unexpected busy few days so we're getting it now instead!)

I can never really decide when to post these little update things... And I've been thinking for a while (to the point I'm not actually sure I haven't said this before and not done it. Oops.) but I think I'm going to post them monthly from now on. That means some months could be a crazy long update post, some maybe not! But as I've mentioned before it really doesn't matter as I update the list constantly as soon as I get a new link anyway. These posts are really just to mention what I've updated with since last time.

Cinderswift (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

youtube

When the PattyCake fellas set out to retell the classic rags-to-riches fairy tale of Cinderella, they turned to the music of Taylor Swift. Her songs' themes of overcoming detractors and self-doubt, learning from painful situations, and striving for a better life were a perfect fit for the story's narrative.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals – Cinderswift

performers: Leah Lowman (Cinderella); Matthew "Bucky" Buckner (Prince Charming / additional vocals); Andrea Stack (Lady Tremaine / additional vocals); Olivia Adkins (Anastasia Tremaine); Melanie Stringer (Drizella Tremaine); Rachel Copeland (fairy godmother); Michael Navarro (royal crier / coachman); Hannah Laird, Hannah Juliano, Layne Stein, & Tony Wakim (additional vocals)

original songs / performer: all songs by Taylor Swift — "Mean"; [0:32] "Style"; [0:55] "Shake It Off"; [1:30] "Bad Blood", feat. Kendrick Lamar; [1:50] "22"; [2:47] "Wildest Dreams"; [3:40] "I Knew You Were Trouble"; [3:55] "Love Story"

written by: "Mean" by Taylor Swift; "Style" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Karl "Shellback" Schuster, & Ali Payami; "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Karl "Shellback" Schuster, & Kendrick Lamar; "22" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 14 January 2017

My favorite bits:

Leah singing ♫ "You can take me do-o-own" ♫ on a descending run as she crouches to reach the tea set

Andrea's absolute poise and stillness as Lady Tremaine

the tiny mouse chorus 🐁 (Ah, so those are the additional vocals.)

all the ladies' 90s-tastic ballgowns

those crunchy minor chords during "Bad Blood"

Rachel's bouncy, trilling vibratto throughout "22"

combining the 1950 animated dance sequence with some of the Regency-era steps from Taylor's "Love Story" video during "Wildest Dreams"

transforming "I Knew You Were Trouble" from a rueful reflection into a sinister threat

Bucky and Leah's lovely harmonies in the final song

Trivia:

The opening dedication "For Dori" refers to Layne's youngest daughter, Doris, who was about six months old at the time of this video's publication.

This video was filmed at the Luxemore Grande Estate in Winter Park, which is primarily used for weddings and other large events. The venue coordination was handled by Jaimz Dillman, who had played Sarah Sanderson in PattyCake's "Hocus Heathens" Halloween video, and has continued to feature in their projects.

Leah has reprised her role as Cinderella in several episodes of PattyCake's "Princess Academy" series, as well as their "Disney Girls Like You" video in 2019, and their original piece "If the Shoe Fits" in 2023.

According to Bucky, there were many outtakes during the dance sequence because "the boots were big on me and that dress was ginormous".

The guys had known Bucky for many years prior to casting him in this project. He'd played the Wolfman opposite Tony's Dracula in the "Beetlejuice Revue" show at Universal Studios, and joined 4:2:Five as their new baritone when Layne switched over to vocal percussion in 2004.

A fan combined the audio from this project with footage from the 1950 Disney animated film to create a fantastic fanvid.

Many of the songs in this video were also later included in PattyCake's villainous Halloween offering for the year, "Look What You Made Me Brew".

Layne and Tony had previously sung a portion of "Bad Blood" in VoicePlay's "Aca Top 10 — Summer Hits 2015" countdown.

"I Knew You Were Trouble" was the foundation for VoicePlay's 2013 "Trouble" mashup music video with Rachel Potter, which led to them competing on The Sing-Off.

The dancers in the original "Shake It Off" music video include several of their fellow reality show veterans from So You Think You Can Dance — Phillip "PacMan" Chbeeb (s.5), Du-Shaunt "Fik-Shun" Stegall (s.10 winner), Jonathan "Legacy" Perez (s.6), & Melissa Sandvig (s.5).

okay here’s what kind of queen i think some select streamers would be on drag race

dream- underdog frontrunner . he is your jinx monsoon . musically talented has the potential for some brilliant runways with a quirky influence but cannot sew for the life of her survives seeing challenges on the charisma and storyline as a front runner garnering audience sympathy with his many wounds and ailments .

george - shady queen / crafty queen . we’ve seen him in front of a sewing machine he can amend and alter and whip up a garment using supplies from the fabric wall if he has to . probbaly will win the ball challenge . kind of a trinity the tuck vibe bc he is funny naturally but performances in comedy challenges could be a banger or underwhelming. WILL read the girls WILL confront ppl WILL be the drama of the season .

sapnap - villain . mans is getting the villain edit whether he likes it or not for being a very loud person a la kandy muse where’s he’s not a FULL villain edit he has a lot of redeeming qualities but bc he’s loud and shouts he’ll get the nasty edit. he’ll pull out some banger runways and form connections with queens maybe into a little group of shady bitches and will probably ace acting challenges

hannah- look queen of the season hands down . she’ll have like violet chachki high fashion haute couture influence she’s a fashion queen living in the catwalk . she’ll do unexpectedly well in improv and comedy challenges but the highlight of her career is her radiant runways

bbh - campy queen . like classic drag. like pantomime drag . like pulling from rlly old school references and giving the runway some comedy and creating a character for each runway he walks

sylvee - vintage queen . your dakota schiffer your robbie turner your marcia x3 . draws inspiration from anything from maybe 50s-90s from things like grease, valley of the dolls, disco, the brady bunch clueless or celebs from those eras like brigitte bardot jennifer aniston madonna etc and does it phenomenally

foolish - your pageant queen . i know sapnap is from texas but i can see foolish in some classic texas pageant drag a la kennedy davenport a la alyssa edwards mistress isabelle brooks you get it . beautiful classic gowns HUGE hair . fashion but not in the same way as hannah . hannah is modern high fashion foolish is classic elegance .

Question, Has Dove's evolution from disney girl to bad ass pop girl lessened your love for her at all? Cause I know some people aren't into the brunette badass version of her

short answer, no. she means the world to me and i don't think anything could ever change that, especially bc of the irl relationship we have.

long answer, it was a bit of an adjustment at first in some ways. id already gone through the same thing with miley, and that made it both easier and harder. easier in the sense that it wasnt my first time dealing with this type of situation but harder in the sense that i had thought that id already gone through that once and wouldn't have to again with dove.

shes gone on record to say that up until about last year, she'd kind of created this fake persona for the public to please people but it wasn't really her, which at first made me afraid that i'd fallen in love with someone who never really existed. but i've come to terms with that. for one thing, i know i'm not the only fan who's been around for years and it's not like she's denounced those fans. plus i think she may have been exaggerating a bit, bc for those of us like myself who have been paying close attention to her from the beginning, you can see many aspects of her that have remained constant, both the lighter parts of her personality that have remained and the darker aspects that were present even years ago (when she would talk about descendants and say she was always more interested in the villains than the princesses, when she said ruby hale was the type of role she'd always wanted to play among many other things regarding ruby, etc.) in an interview from a few days ago, she talked about how she kind of wants to clarify that she's neither extreme of perfect girl next door or evil badass but somewhere in between, and that's kind of how i'd already seen her anyway so it was nice to hear her say that.

the thing that's been the hardest is any time she talks at all negatively about her disney days bc of how much liv and maddie and descendants mean to me. that hasn't happened a lot tho, im just sensitive to even a just barely negative comment. plus, she's still talked positively about those roles within the last year or so, not to mention the cloud 9 tattoos she got with kiersey clemmons lol. from my understanding, she does want to leave that behind her but she still has a love for that time of her life and believes it was right for her at the time, and i can live with that. if miley was full on volatile about hannah montana and i somehow was not only surviving but thriving in the bangerz era, i can learn to accept what dove has said about her disney days.

plus.....her badassery makes her all the more attractive to me. so theres that.

if people dont want to be a fan of hers anymore obvs thats their choice but it can be sad to see given that this was less of a change and more of her fully expressing who's she's been all along, especially bc she's said it's very much tied to her public coming out process.

#i hope this isnt too long but if you ask about dove you can expect a long answer #also thank you for asking nicely

Just a Zatanna story where she helps a kid find her missing dog.

I mentioned this story while responding to one of my asks but I never got around to posting it.

Its also one of the few stories where I find Jeff endearing and not off putting.

This story was published in World’s Finest #278 written by Paul Kupperberg with art by Dan Spiegle..

It starts off as a typical day with Zee and Jeff out on a walk and Zee is putting up with Jeff’s bad jokes:

Zee gives chase but this was during the period were she was de powered (Justice League of America #190-191) and could only control the elements.

They track the missing dog to a dog show:

But it doesn’t take long for Jeff to get into trouble and Zatanna has to rescue him:

And the villain of our Scooby Doo mystery turns out to be:

All in all, a nice one in done that reads like the script for an episode of Scooby Doo (or another Hannah Barbera show). I like the bit with the judge and Tuffy.

Paul Kupperberg wrote a few other Zatanna stories in World’s Finest and I think he wrote her well in all of them. Jeff as a straight up gender reversed dude in distress will never not be amusing.

(Side note: modern DC really ought to consider using Worlds Finest as a back up to spotlight B-C list characters like they used to. This era of World’s Finest had back up stories for Zatanna, Hawkman and Green Arrow.)

Fantasy Month :The Pirates of Dark Water(First 5 episodes)

Gonna do something different for this entry ,will be looking at a TV show,in this case the ahead of its time Hannah Barbera series The Pirates of Dark Water .I will only be only covering the 5 opening episodes wh8ich made up the openi8ng miniseries

In this 1991 seried we follow Ren (George Newbern ) ,the long lost son of King Primus ,as he ventures,along with his companions Ioz(Hector Elizondo ),Tula (Jodie Benson) and Niddler (Frank Welker ) on a quest to save the world of Mer from a dangerous force called the Dark Water ,by finding the 13 treaures of Rule before the the ruthless pirate Bloth (Brock Peters)

SO the word for this show is ambitious .This show is between the toyetic cartoons of the 80's and the more serious story driven shows of the 90's .This is a show where the heroes can be self serving and not always get along :Yeah Ren is noble,but Tula has her own agenda ,Niddler is food driven ,and Ioz is a greedy pirate .....And I like that dynamic,they are friends but theres is some shakiness there .Also I dont wanna say its dark but unlike a lot of shows from this era ,PEOPLE DIE ! Not gruesomely but In these first 5 episodes I think 6 people die ,so it gives stakes to the story.What also sets it apart from shows of its era is the fact there is a ongoing story:This is a mcguffin chase with a set number of things to get ,which is unusal for a show from this period

The ambitionalso goers to the designs and animations.I know Hannah Barbera is associated with cheap animation but there are some really intricate designs here and for a Saturday morning cartoon from the 90's the animation is pretty decent .The designs for all the monsters,creatures and characters are creative .Design wise I love the creatures known as monkeybirds which is Niddlers species .It does kind of lean into the Dick Tracy mindset a little with how exaggerated and grotesque the villains are ,though I do adore Bloths design ,very big and menacing

It also has an excellent voice cast of rather well known actors :GEorge Newbern from Father of the Bride (THough people might know him more as Superman and Sephiroth ),character Hector Elizondo ,Jodi Benson from the Little Mermaid ,veteren actor Brock Peter and even cult favorite Tim Curry make up our main casts ,plus well known voice talent like Frank Welker and Peter Cullen .Hell Roddy McDowall was in this......But not on the version you can watch.See when this was a miniseries McDowall was cast as Niddler the Monkey Bird ,but when it was brought to series he was replaced by Frank Welker,and Welker redubbed the first 5 episodes .I've listened to a few clips of McDowalls take,I think its a shame they redubbed him,but I also really like Welkers more comedic take,so I am split .I think all the acting is good and every actor fits their role :George Newbern has a idealistic and youthful energy as Ren,Hector Elizondo fits the lovable rogue type,Jodi Benson is always great ,Tim Curry plays against type as Bloths bumbeling henchman Konk and he is really good at it ,Peter Cullen is menacing as Bloths second in command Mantus,and I am a Brock Peters fan so it is a delight to hear him ham it up while being genuinely menacing as the series main villain Bloth (Bloth is also my favorite character ,no surprise cause I love villains and I love Brock Peters )

Now I do have a problem with the show and its the fact the world building can be sloppy.The Dark Water is not explained well despite the fact other then Bloth it is the main threat ,REn just happens to know Konks name despite not really being introduced to each other and Niddler just knows where Tula is from despite that not being established .The world itself is really cool and I dig it

Now by watching only the opening arc I was asking a question of myself "Is this a show I would want to wactch more of"......And the answer is HELL YES !!! This is a very good show ,it reminds me of stuff like Samurai Jack and Avatar the Last Airbender just not as polished .I think it is underrated and very much deserving of a cult status .I like the character dynamics,the world is cool,its got a great villain,if you havent seen it check it out

@ariel-seagull-wings @metropolitan-mutant-of-ark @amalthea9 @filmcityworld1 @angelixgutz @princesssarisa @the-blue-fairie @themousefromfantasyland

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE MCU PHASE 5 (SDCC)

Soo theres a lot to discuss, lets get going shall we

Idk if the Guardians christmas special is still happening/is canon/is a part of phase 5, finishing phase 4 on black panther makes a lot of sense but at the same time, starting the next phase with a special doesn't

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

This movie will see the main group of heroes travel into the quantum realm and battle Kang

We dont know if Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) are returning (please give us some news about ghost homegirl has been waiting for them to return from the quantum realm for 5 years)

Kang (Jonathan Majors) is set to appear and to have some very cold lines about fighting the avengers in other universes

"Have i killed you before?" that's an amazing line right there yup

Modok will appear, however his appearance will be more metallic rather than the human face he has in the comic probably to avoid an uncanny valley moment (*cough * strange's 3rd eye)

Cassie Lang (Cathryn Newton) will appear as stinger. Her relationship with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) will be explored as they struggle to connect given that Scott didn't see her grow up. (Paul Rudd seems to have debunked the rumor that Scott will be rich and famous and that will make him loose touch with his daughter, however, the rumor that he published a book has been confirmed)

There are rumors that Scott will die in this movie (pls stop)

The director also teased some unexpected cameos, and said the movie will change the MCU as a whole

Secret Invasion

Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) is confirmed to return (slay) as well as Rhodey (big slay)

QUAKE (CHLOE FRICKING BENNET) is rumored to return (chloe liked some twitter posts about her being in secret invasion and she is rumored to have signed a contract with marvel)

The series is rumored to be a political espionnage thriller with the same vibes as The Winter Soldier

We dont know how much of the Kree-Skrull war we will get to see as the series will likely be mostly set on earth

Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.3

This film is 'the end of the guardians era' for James Gunn, its likely the last Guardians movie HOWEVER that doesnt mean they will all die and cant appear in future projects

Drax (Dave Bautista) is rumored to die however (hot take: i don't really care about him and i never found him that funny)

The movie will have the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) as one of its villains, and we will probably see how he experimented on Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper)

Baby Rocket is also there!!!!!

Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) will return and is rumored to have Goldenish skin

No trailer yet because the VFX isnt finished (that feels like a jab at the cgi quality hate the mcu is getting)

Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is rumored to join the ravagers and be as angsty as ever with Star-Lord (Chris Pratt)

Echo

This will be the first MCU-street level series (if you dont count Hawkeye because meh). It will likely be a setup of the mcu street level world so that they dont have to explain it in the Daredevil Series, i just hope the pacing will be ok and not just 6 hours of exposition about this reality

Echo (Alaqua Cox) will obviously return, but so will Daredevil, in his black suit (!!). It is very likely that Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) will also return, given that he was shot by echo in the Hawkeye finale.

Daredevil is rumored to be looking for an old ally, that is rumored to be my baby Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter, marvel if you recast her i sWEAR-)

Loki season 2

Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia di Martino) will return and will be working at McDondald's (???) according to set photos (???)

Part of the show will be set in the seventies as a Bollywood poster featuring Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) from that town is shown in set photos

Kang will probably appear given that he seems to have took over the TVA at the end of season 1

Mobius (Owen Wilson) will most likely be back

The Marvels

We will see light of my life Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) again

Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) will most likely appear, following his appearance in secret invasion

Part of the movie is rumored to be a musical (why) as the characters end up in a planet where everyone sings. Carol (Brie Larson) is rumored to be married to this planets' leader (queen?) in a very killing eve-esque way

A scene is rumored to be a ship containing Humans, Skrulls and Flurkens (space cats!!!) being attacked (likely by Krees) and the cats gettinf people to safety

We will likely see the Kree empire again

Blade

Oooh another fun project i dont really know what to expect but it will likely be a street-level movie.

Mahershala Ali is rumored to play Blade (big yes), this is his second Marvel role after playing Cottonmouth in Netflix's Luke Cage

Anthony Starr (Homelander from the Boys) is rumored to star as Dracula

Dane Whittman (Kit Harrington) will likely star as the Black Knight after the Eternals post-credit scene featured him with the black sword adn Blade's voice

We might get a Werewolf by night (Gael Garcia Bernal) cameo (if the Halloween special is still a thing) or even a Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac) one (please marvel let me see my emotional support Dilf again)

Ironheart

Nothing much is known about the project, other than it will be centered around Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), that will appear beforehand in Wakanda Forever

There is a rumor that Obadiah Stane's son will appear

The show might revolve around the stole stark tech mentioned in No Way Home

Agatha: Coven of Chaos

The series was renamed (previously titled house of Harkness), we will likely see other witches given the title

They might be teasing Wanda's return (please!!!!!!) as she is the only Chaos Magic wielder in the mcu

The curse Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) put on Agatha (Kathryn Hanh) will most likely be broken after Wanda's DeAtH in MoM

Maybe we get some more information on Ralf Bohner (Evan Peters) or smt because his character in WandaVision was pointless

MePhIsTo.. no but maybe Chton??? since they changed the title to include the world Chaos

Daredevil: Born Again

The series will be 18 episodes long and most likely TV-MA (pls marvel)

Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk will return, and so will Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) most likely

The Punisher is set to return

If the Echo rumors about Jessica Jones are true, she might appear here too

If were lucky we get all of the defenders or even Claire (Rosario Dawson)

It is unclear wether this series will be the fourth season of the original, however it will probably be a soft reboot (the og series still happened so they dont have to explain character motivations and stuff but it wont be referenced

Captain America: New World Order

SAM WILSON (ANTHONY MACKIE) IS CAP, STEVE IS EITHER DECOMPOSING OR ON DEATHBED STOP SAYING HE WILL RETURN AS CAP IT FEELS RACIALLY MOTIVATED

oh and also no bucky (Sebastian Stan) will not be the next cap

he will be in this film tho, most likely and people are speculating wether he will die (i would die with him)

the title is the same as the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) and his nephew (Elijah Richardson) might return (pls), as well as John Walker (Wyatt Russell) and Zemo (Daniel Bruhl)

Idk why but i feel like this movie will setup the Thunderbolts, like maybe the government realize that a superhearo is more of a PR stunt that someone they cand send on possibly comprosmizing missions, which leads to the cration of this villain team

THUNDERBOLTS

Most likely we will get a tribute to William Hurt (Thaddeus Ross) given he passed away recently

Given that fact, Zemo will most likely be the leader of the team

This basically Marvel's suicide squad so i hope they manage to make the movie different enough

Valentina Allegra (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) will most likely be the one to put the team together and recruit agents.

Yelena (Florence Pugh), Bucky, Abomination (Tim Roth) and Ghost are all likely on the team

Especially ghost because i feel like they put her in Marvel Zombies out of nowhere to remind us of her existence since she wont have a major role in Quantumania

Some characters that are yet to be introduced will be in this movie

Suffocating silence threatens to smother Hannah as soon as she walks into the apartment. She knows what she's walking into, especially after what happened that morning.

She steps into the living room to see Lex and Ethan sitting on the couch, looking like a pair of disappointed parents.

"Where have you been?" Lex demands immediately, "And what the fuck did you do to your hair?"

"None of your business," Hannah shoots back, standing her ground.

Lex's eyebrows shoot up. "I beg your fucking pardon?"

"Then beg." Hannah tugs her jacket closer to her body before turning to leave.

"Don't you walk away from me!"

Hannah doesn't stop. It's not until she's back in the kitchen that she feels a hand on her shoulder. Lex spins her around easily.

"Hannah, what the actual fuck?" Lex asks again, staring at her sister as if she's a stranger. "This isn't you. Is Webby telling y-"

A sharp bark of a laugh escapes Hannah at the sound of the name. The sound startles Lex so much that she takes a step back.

"I don't listen to Webby anymore," Hannah replies, eyes glinting. "She's a liar and she tried to control me."

Lex frowns, trying to make sense of what Hannah's saying. "Okay, but that doesn't mean you get to go off the fucking rails! You hurt Ethan!"

Tilting her head, Hannah asks, "How did I hurt him?"

"You threw him against a wall!" Lex exclaims. "His back is all bruised and shit-"

"Lexie, how could I have thrown Ethan against the wall?" Hannah questions innocently. "He's a lot bigger and stronger than I am."

That reasoning makes Lex freeze. She glances back towards the living room before looking at Hannah again. "He said you did-"

"Then he's a liar too. I never touched him." Hannah shrugs. She doesn't give Lex a chance to respond before she's walking out of the apartment again.

Unrelated but I learned recently that people didn’t know the villain in the you belong with me video was Taylor in a wig. When will we get brunette era… [i am screaming at the sky] though it is 10x more likely that she’d have a ginger era since she seems to see herself as a ginge

Do people really not know that that's her?!? Wow, Hannah Montana was right, with the shades and the hair, you truly can go anywhere.

I'd like to see Taylor ginger, I thought she really pulled off the look in the ATW video.

Thank you, Entangled/Red Tower Books, for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

CAWPILE Rating:

Characters-8.5/10 Atmosphere-9.5/10 Writing-8/10 Plot-10/10 Intrigue-9.5/10 Logic/Structure-8.5/10 Engagement-9.5/10

Final Rating: 5/5 Stars

This was the worst day ever for Evie! She was now out of a job and needs to provide for her sick father and her younger sister. While walking home through the forest, Evie stumbles upon The Villain and he offers her a job of being his assistant. But little does Evie and The Villain know that someone wants The Villain and will do any harm to get to him.

Characters

My first few thoughts while reading The Assistant to the Villain was that I bet The Villain was a morally gray cinnamon roll since he emanates the trope of: I hate everyone but her. My favorite scenes of The Villain were: there being wanted flyers going around with an inaccurate sketch of what he looks like which just gives me Flynn Ryder vibes. Then my other favorite scene was him admitting to himself about his feelings for Evie which just leaves you swooning.

Now for Evie. For the most part I really enjoyed her. I love that she looks for the positive/goodness in everything especially when things start to go sour. She is kind and considerate as well. But there were times where she irritated me with being naive and I was not a fan that sometimes she was written as ditzy and a klutz. Overall, with those things it did not pull me out of the story, and I still highly enjoyed it.

Hannah does a great job of writing the distinction of The Villain and Evie as a grumpy x sunshine trope. You can really tell the stark difference in their thought process and their outlook on life.

Atmosphere:

The Assistant to the Villain takes place in a kingdom, a village, a manor, and a forest. It is basically how a lot of fantasy settings are, but this setting just felt super cozy.

Writing Style:

This is a fast paced read that will leave you laughing out loud. I am in my annotating/tabbing era, and I went through so many tabs to mark lol/happy moments.

Plot:

When it comes to The Assistant to the Villain, we see The Villain give Evie a job and as she takes the job, she finds herself not grossed out and totally okay with the gruesome things The Villain does. The one thing she hates though is stepping on eyeballs. As time goes on Evie and The Villain discover that someone is after him and on top of that they are trying to deny their feelings for one another.

Intrigue:

Hannah does such an amazing job pulling you into this book because it’s just so damn funny. A lot of these chapters ended in cliffhangers and that made me need to read on and on. It caused a lot of sleep deprivation but it’s fine, it’s all fine.

Logic/Structure:

For the most part I found Evie and The Villain to have great ways when it came to investigating the mystery. But there was sometimes Evie was just plain annoying when it came to how she thought about things such as her not believing that The Villain had a true real name that was not The Villain. There are a few other instances, but it was not that many instances. The plot twist towards the end was not shocking to me and I was able to guess most of it right off the back, but I did not guess all of it. It was still enjoyable, and Hannah did a great job structuring the plot, mystery, character development (especially The Villain’s!), and the relationships.

Enjoyment:

I highly, highly enjoyed this book so much. I would look forward to picking up the book each night and reading it because I could not get enough of this book, and I found it so much fun. I laughed a lot and swooned at times. It was just majorly fun.

Final Thoughts:

Red Tower Books is putting out so many amazing books so far this year. They are highly addicting and just plain fun, and they all totally live up to their hype. This one is going to become very popular when it releases on August 29th. Also, to note that this book is not spicy and just the buildup to the relationship and has all the angst. I totally recommend this one to everyone.

In Focus: The Mummy

Dominic Corry responds on behalf of Letterboxd to an impassioned plea to bump up the average rating of the 1999 version of The Mummy—and asks: where is the next great action adventure coming from?

We recently received the following email regarding the Stephen Sommers blockbuster The Mummy:

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you on behalf of the nation, if not the entire globe, who frankly deserve better than this after months of suffering with the Covid pandemic.

I was recently made aware that the rating of The Mummy on your platform only stands at 3.3 stars out of five. … This, as I’m sure you’re aware, is simply unacceptable. The Mummy is, as a statement of fact, the greatest film ever made. It is simply fallacious that anyone should claim otherwise, or that the rating should fail to reflect this. This oversight cannot be allowed to stand.

I have my suspicions that this rating has been falsely allocated due to people with personal axes to grind against The Mummy, most likely other directors who are simply jealous that their own artistic oeuvres will never attain the zenith of perfection, nor indeed come close to approaching the quality or the cultural influence of The Mummy. There is, quite frankly, no other explanation. The Mummy is, objectively speaking, a five-star film (… I would argue that it in fact transcends the rating sytem used by us mere mortals). It would only be proper, as a matter of urgency, to remove all fake ratings (i.e. any ratings [below] five stars) and allow The Mummy’s rating to stand, as it should, at five stars, or perhaps to replace the rating altogether with a simple banner which reads “the greatest film of all time, objectively speaking”. I look forward to this grievous error being remedied.

Best, Anwen

Which of course: no, we would never do that. But the vigor Anwen expresses in her letter impressed us (we checked: she’s real, though is mostly a Letterboxd lurker due to a busy day-job in television production, “so finding time to watch anything that isn’t The Mummy is, frankly, impossible… not that there’s ever any need to watch anything else, of course.”).

So Letterboxd put me, Stephen Sommers fan, on the job of paying homage to the last great old-school action-adventure blockbuster, a film that straddles the end of one cinematic era and the beginning of the next one. And also to ask: where’s the next great action adventure coming from?

Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and John Hannah in ‘The Mummy’ (1999).

When you delve into the Letterboxd reviews of The Mummy, it quickly becomes clear how widely beloved the film is, 3.3 average notwithstanding. Of more concern to the less youthful among us is how quaintly it is perceived, as if it harkens back to the dawn of cinema or something. “God, I miss good old-fashioned adventure movies,” bemoans Holly-Beth. “I have so many fond memories of watching this on TV with my family countless times growing up,” recalls Jess. “A childhood classic,” notes Simon.

As alarming as it is to see such wistful nostalgia for what was a cutting-edge, special-effects-laden contemporary popcorn hit, it has been twenty-one years since the film was released, so anyone currently in their early 30s would’ve encountered the film at just the right age for it to imprint deeply in their hearts. This has helped make it a Raiders of the Lost Ark for a specific Letterboxd demographic.

Sommers took plenty of inspiration from the Indiana Jones series for his take on The Mummy (the original 1932 film, also with a 3.3 average, is famously sedate), but for ten-year-olds in 1999, it may have been their only exposure to such pulpy derring-do. And when you consider that popcorn cinema would soon be taken over by interconnected on-screen universes populated by spandex-clad superheroes, the idea that The Mummy is an old-fashioned movie is easier to comprehend.

However, for all its throwbackiness, beholding The Mummy from the perspective of 2020 reveals it to have more to say about the future of cinema than the past. 1999 was a big year for movies, often considered one of the all-time best, but the legacy of The Mummy ties it most directly to two of that year’s other biggest hits: Star Wars: Episode One—The Phantom Menace and The Matrix. These three blockbusters represented a turning point for the biggest technological advancement to hit the cinematic art-form since the introduction of sound: computer-generated imagery, aka CGI. The technique had been widely used from 1989’s The Abyss onwards, and took significant leaps forward with movies such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Jurassic Park (1993) and Starship Troopers (1997), but the three 1999 films mentioned above signified a move into the era when blockbusters began to be defined by their CGI.

A year before The Mummy, Sommers had creatively utilised CGI in his criminally underrated sci-fi action thriller Deep Rising (another film that deserves a higher average Letterboxd rating, just sayin’), and he took this approach to the next level with The Mummy. While some of the CGI in The Mummy doesn’t hold up as well as the technopunk visuals presented in The Matrix, The Mummy showed how effective the technique could be in an historical setting—the expansiveness of ancient Egypt depicted in the movie is magnificent, and the iconic rendering of Imhotep’s face in the sand storm proved to be an enduringly creepy image. Not to mention those scuttling scarab beetles.

George Lucas wanted to test the boundaries of the technique with his insanely anticipated new Star Wars film after dipping his toe in the digital water with the special editions of the original trilogy. Beyond set expansions and environments, a bunch of big creatures and cool spaceships, his biggest gambit was Jar Jar Binks, a major character rendered entirely through CGI. And we all know how that turned out.

A CGI-enhanced Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep.

Sommers arguably presented a much more effective CGI character in the slowly regenerating resurrected Imhotep. Jar Jar’s design was “bigger” than the actor playing him on set, Ahmed Best. Which is to say, Jar Jar took up more space on screen than Best. But with the zombie-ish Imhotep, Sommers (ably assisted by Industrial Light & Magic, who also worked on the Star Wars films) used CGI to create negative space, an effect impossible to achieve with practical make-up—large parts of the character were missing. It was an indelible visual concept that has been recreated many times since, but Sommers pioneered its usage here, and it contributed greatly to the popcorn horror threat posed by the character.

Sommers, generally an unfairly overlooked master of fun popcorn spectacle (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is good, guys), deserves more credit for how he creatively utilized CGI to elevate the storytelling in The Mummy. But CGI isn’t the main reason the film works—it’s a spry, light-on-its-feet adventure that presents an iconic horror property in an entertaining and adventurous new light. And it happens to feature a ridiculously attractive cast all captured just as their pulchritudinous powers were peaking.

Meme-worthy: “My sexual orientation is the cast of ‘The Mummy’ (1999).”

A rising star at the time, Brendan Fraser was mostly known for comedic performances, and although he’d proven himself very capable with his shirt off in George of the Jungle (1997), he wasn’t necessarily at the top of anyone’s list for action-hero roles. But he is superlatively charming as dashing American adventurer Rick O’Connell. His fizzy chemistry with Weisz, playing the brilliant-but-clumsy Egyptologist Evie Carnahan, makes the film a legitimate romantic caper. The role proved to be a breakout for Weisz, then perhaps best known for playing opposite Keanu Reeves in the trouble-plagued action flop Chain Reaction, or for her supporting role in the Liv Tyler vehicle Stealing Beauty.

“90s Brendan Fraser is what Chris Pratt wishes he was,” argues Holly-Beth. “Please come back to us, Brendaddy. We need you.” begs Joshhh. “I’d like to thank Rachel Weisz for playing an integral role in my sexual awakening,” offers Sree.

Then there’s Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bey, a member of the Medjai, a sect dedicated to preventing Imhotep’s tomb from being discovered, and Patricia Velásquez as Anck-su-namun, Imhotep’s cursed lover. Both stupidly good-looking. Heck, Imhotep himself (South African Arnold Vosloo, coming across as Billy Zane’s more rugged brother), is one of the hottest horror villains in the history of cinema.

“Remember when studio movies were sexy?” laments Colin McLaughlin. We do Colin, we do.

Sommers directed a somewhat bloated sequel, The Mummy Returns, in 2001, which featured the cinematic debut of one Dwayne Johnson. His character got a spin-off movie the following year (The Scorpion King), which generated a bunch of DTV sequels of its own, and is now the subject of a Johnson-produced reboot. Brendan Fraser came back for a third film in 2008, the Rob Cohen-directed The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Weisz declined to participate, and was replaced by Maria Bello.

Despite all the follow-ups, and the enduring love for the first Sommers film, there has been a sadly significant dearth of movies along these lines in the two decades since it was released. The less said about 2017 reboot The Mummy (which was supposed to kick-off a new Universal Monster shared cinematic universe, and took a contemporary, action-heavy approach to the property), the better.

The Rock in ‘The Mummy Returns’ (2001).

For a long time, adventure films were Hollywood’s bread and butter, but they’re surprisingly thin on the ground these days. So it makes a certain amount of sense that nostalgia for the 1999 The Mummy continues to grow. You could argue that many of the superhero films that dominate multiplexes count as adventure movies, but nobody really sees them that way—they are their own genre.

There are, however, a couple of films on the horizon that could help bring back old-school cinematic adventure. One is the long-planned—and finally actually shot—adaptation of the Uncharted video-game franchise, starring Tom Holland. The games borrow a lot from the Indiana Jones films, and it’ll be interesting to see how much that manifests in the adaptation.

Then there’s Letterboxd favorite David Lowery’s forever-upcoming medieval adventure drama The Green Knight, starring Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander (who herself recently rebooted another video-game icon, Lara Croft). Plus they are still threatening to make another Indiana Jones movie, even if it no longer looks like Steven Spielberg will direct it.

While these are all exciting projects—and notwithstanding the current crisis in the multiplexes—it can’t help but feel like we may never again get a movie quite like The Mummy, with its unlikely combination of eye-popping CGI, old-fashioned adventure tropes and a once-in-a-lifetime ensemble of overflowing hotness. Long may love for it reign on Letterboxd—let’s see if we can’t get that average rating up, the old fashioned way. For Anwen.
