I really did not wanna talk about this stupid topic, but with so many people falling for it, I figured I should; THE DIRECT ARTICLE ABOUT A GRAVITY FALLS REVIVAL IS A FUCKING LIE!! Lemme explain below why!!

Ever since this article by The Direct was published, way too many people are thinking Gravity Falls is really coming back and the usual season 3 belief is spreading yet again. And of course, YouTubers who should know better made videos on it and other "journalists" are spreading this lie. Here's the real facts! The executive in the article NEVER alluded to a revival. All they said is that Alex is publishing a book (The Book of Bill) and there's some shorts being made. All this article is basing its claim on is the phrase, "Never say Never!" Alex has had a deal with Netflix since 2018. Under that deal, he cannot make new cartoons for other networks, including Disney and Gravity Falls. He can voice on non Netflix shows and help in small ways like he did on TOH, but he cannot make a new show outside Netflix.

The shorts they are alluding to are confirmed to be likely stuff like the Broken Karaoke series on Disney Channel's YouTube page or theme song takeover stuff. Disney TVA News, while not 100% the most reliable source, has suggested that as the case and given Alex was at DTVA in April recording something per an Instagram story he made, it makes the most sense. What's more, there is a rumoured short being made for The Book of Bill which this could be meaning. Notice how it has no indication of a revival? Alex Hirsch has said he has ideas for GF stories, but they are more book centric. Heck, in me and Hana's interview alone he alluded to Stan and Ford stories he'd wanna do if given the chance to make another graphic novel. That is all!

And speaking of Alex…he's not said shit on this! He's not tweeted about it or liked any tweet about it. And Alex has said in the past to not believe anyone claiming Gravity Falls is coming back unless he says so himself on Twitter. So, take a guess what I did? I messaged him!! I was in talks with Alex recently for another video I'm making later in the future and asked him about this article during it. Without leaking our DM's, Alex said straight up, this article is all "just talk!" It's clickbait! Alex Hirsch confirmed it is clickbait!!

Direct is lying to you and so is anyone else saying this is real or that Gravity Falls is coming back! It just isn't. The only person who you should believe about this stuff is Alex Hirsch himself and he clearly has said it's not. And even supposing Direct is telling the truth about this executive saying something is possible, it's just gonna be book or small shorts stuff…NOT a season 3 or reboot, or revival or spin off series. I know that stuff is pretty popular to talk about, hell, I'd kill for a Gravity Falls prequel story myself. But it's not happening.

But with that said, I hope this post helped you better understand what is up. This article is a sham and a joke to the field of journalism. Do your damn job and tell the truth instead of making clickbait shit that will get you ad revenue! People who write articles like this are a joke and I feel bad for anyone who falls for their BS! These articles will never stop being made, so it's up to you all to be smart and not fall for them.

Remember, if Alex Hirsch doesn't say anything about it, it's not legit!!

Stay informed properly out there! New videos coming soon :)

Dragon Ball Magic: Return of the Asspull

So the word on Twitter is that there have been leaked reports of a new anime called "Dragon Ball Magic". I'm pretty sure it's all made-up bullshit, but I remember thinking Dragon Ball Super was a pipe dream too, and here we are. So I may as well discuss the topic here.

The whole thing comes across like a modern day Dragon Ball AF, where there seems to be a lot more emphasis on hype and speculation than tangible evidence. For example, there's a twitter account dedicated to gathering all the information available about the new series, but all it really does is amplify rumors and fanworks. When I search for the title on Twitter I mostly get skeptics making fun of the idea, or true believers talking about the show as if it were objective fact. Like AF, there's a lot of excitement but no clear picture of what the the thing actually is. The only real consensus I can find is the following:

Dragon Ball Magic will feature the Supreme Kai

Goku will be turned into a child, just like in Dragon Ball GT

Geekdom101 talked about this once, so that means it must be real.

And that's why I led off with the screenshot of the tail-yanking scene from GT, because I was trying to find an appropriate image of GT Goku and the Supreme Kai, and... yeah, that's it.

The more I think about it, the more this feels like something an internet troll would come up with. Like, someone started with the stupidest moment in the worst Dragon Ball series ever, and built a rumor around it. Oh, and also the rumor namedrops Geekdom101, just to make it extra absurd. It's the sort of thing gullible people would flock to while everyone in on the joke would have a laugh over it.

I don't know enough about Geekdom101 to insult him properly, but I'm like 90% sure he's an asshole. Back when Twitter actually worked properly, I'd see his name trending and there'd be a bunch of people in the fandom going "Dammit, what's he done this time?" Does he have inside sources in the anime industry? I dunno, maybe he does, but I think he's got a credibility problem. I mean, he calls himself "Geekdom101", and his avatar is Golden Frieza with a pair of glasses and holding a lightsaber. His YouTube videos look like a clickbait parody, with things like "Kai-o-ken EXPLAINED" and "WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR". Also plenty of what-if and who-would-win videos.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that maybe this is a guy who makes a decent living off his fandom channel, and when there's not much going on, he'll cobble together a story just to keep the conversation going and draw more attention to his videos. Which... I mean, if that's profitable, so be it, but if Geekdom told me water was wet I'd want to double-check for myself.

As to the rest, even if Toei was really planning something like DB Magic, there's no guarantee they'd actually follow through with it. Plans change, and even if this were 100% legit, it means nothing without an official confirmation and a release date. That "Superman Lives!" movie with Nic Cage was a real thing... right until it wasn't.

But I find the concept too vague and too specific all at once. Like, okay, it's Supreme Kai and a de-aged Goku. Why them in particular? What are they going to do? It just feels like something someone made up to get a reaction from the fans. GT likers are supposed to get all excited or defensive about a potential GT reboot, and other fans are supposed to get upset that the Supreme Kai got the lead instead of their favorite C-lister.

Compare this to the early reveals for DBS: Superhero. Toei teased a few details, and gradually it became clear that the Red Ribbon Army was back somehow, and maybe there were some new androids, and there was a lot about Piccolo and Gohan, so it seemed like they'd be a big part of the story. It wasn't a complete picture, but it made sense from a promotional standpoint. People were more concerned with the CG animation than any of the characters or plot.

I mean, anyone can come up with this stuff. I mean, my uncle works for Nintendo, and he told me that the next anime is going to be called Dragon Ball Snazzy, and it'll be about Vegeta and 18 starting up a private detective agency. Or... I don't know, Dragon Ball Jazz, which is a prequel series featuring a young Dr. Brief and Gine as secret agents. Wait, how about Dragon Ball Spatula, starring Elder Guru and Launch as they explore the multiverse!

And you know, I'd probably watch any of these shows. Hell, I sat through GT, and it was awful! The bar's pretty low when it comes to making a Dragon Ball project that I'm willing to try out. But people have been clamoring for Dragon Ball Super II ever since the first series went off the air in 2018, and that was years ago. This Dragon Ball Magic business just sounds like the same old empty hype with a fresh coat of paint.

Or maybe the whole thing is real, but my advice is: Don't get your hopes up. Life's too short to get worked up over things that might never happen. If it actually comes to pass, then it'll still be just as much fun whether you believed it ahead of time or not.

What’s-on-Netflix today is saying that White Stork is happening. Is this a legitimate source? Looks legit.

2) Saney have you seen this thing about White Stork? I'm not buying it

And you shouldn't. Whats-on-Netflix is nothing more than a clickbait site. It ran the same story (virtually word for word) 2 years ago.

It also literally has this in the 'article' (and I use that term loosely):

IMDb Pro has reported in the production status timeline of the series that filming had begun on September 16th, 2021, and ended on January 10th, 2022. However, as of August 23rd, 2022, the production status of White Stork was listed as unknown. Production updates listed by IMDb Pro should be taken with plenty of caution as there are no sources to verify the information.

Another one of our sources currently has White Stork listed for pre-production.

This is what is currently listed on IMDb Pro.

Except we know he didn't film anything in the fall of 2021, as he was spotted elsewhere, and was doing The Play What I Wrote. There was never any other cast announced for WS -- because it wasn't happening. And that's not the normal progression of production - it would go from post-production to released or have a release date, not back to Production Unknown... So that apparent change in status was nothing more than a random troll.

Because at the same time, this was happening with the actual production company:

July 2021 account statement filed with the UK government

They were planning to break up the production company due to not having the main cast member (that would be Tom). Note the words production abandoned - not 'on hold', but 'abandoned'.

And then the official filing to dissolve the production unit in March 2022.

Full dissolution - June 2022

You can't produce anything without a production company to pay the bills.

All information publicly available via Companies House, the UK Government's official listing of all company registrations.

Furthermore, the project is no longer listed on the Eleven Films website - at all. Not even the original news item from 2020. You can check for yourself, but there's no mention of it.

So 1) Don't believe clickbait sites like What's On Netflix; they're just regurgitating stuff they wrote years ago.

and 2) Don't always believe IMDb, since it's editable by trolls. IMDb Pro less so, because you generally have to provide proof for updates, but not 100% guaranteed.

Anyway, White Stork isn't happening. At least not with Tom or Eleven Films involved at this point.

When thinking of writing a post about why people tend to dislike Midnight, i had a bit of a thought: Just like SgtMarkIV/Brutal Doom, the hate can come from people that are usually uninformed.

A way to see Midnight is that he's more of a "side effect" and represents things that aren't unique to him (Specially if you look at other Doom related channels and see similarities).

I've seen him compared to MrBossFTW as if Midnight is the Doom equivalent to that.

He seems like a clickbait channel trying to exploit people that know less about Doom than he already does.

A recent example being him doing a video about Lilith PK3 and how his observation (If it's legit) can be comparable to that of how game journos (The group that Doom fans supposedly hate) talk about Doom mods.

(Because i don't think he even knows about the weird drama about that mod at all)

It's why DoomKid making a video correcting Midnight was a bit of a shocker: Both could be seen as representing opposite sides related to "Doom fandom".

But in general, a way to better understand this is by looking at 3 big points:

The Doom community and its history

I already made certain points in different posts, like differences between older and newer fans or aspects of certain activities etc.

You can read some of it here:

Random observations about the Doom community.

A specific Brutal Doom post.

Things that may've not exist if not for the fans.

Nerd/geek/fandom/whatever-you-call-it culture

I'm sure people are aware of nerd stereotypes in pop culture: The smart but socially awkward skinny guy with glasses with weird speech patterns and interests in pop culture, that gets bullied.

While they are exaggerated, they do have some truth in them (To the point some even say this outcast nerd aspect is what inspired Peter Parker, Spiderman).

So the "Funko Pop crowd" image seems different from nerds that get picky over how their favorite media is handled.

Might come from a place of what if means to love something so much: 100% blind love that you like anything associated with it or wanting "the best" for it that you tend to have standards like a parent wishing their kids get a better future and don't throw it all away.

Of course, some nerds will still have silly complaints over stuff but it also seems like some people find it easier to be nerdy in the "blind loyalty" way than making interesting stuff out of their passion.

Some also argue whether or not "nerd culture" is that obscure because something like Star Wars was always massive.

But it's still interesting to learn how subcultures change because it's not just a matter of newcomers but even the old guard can change too.

Internet content

When people discuss why "content creator" is a bad term, they usually include the angle from the corporations: How they treat artists and their art.

Be it corporations labelling different art forms as "content" or treating it badly even if the art itself is good and gave them some revenue.

But there's at least 2 angles we shouldn't forget:

The "creators" themselves because for all the talented people that deserve better, there's always those with crappy stuff or zero talent that somehow get to win at times.

And the audiences because some people tend to have really bad taste and in massive scales.

Youtube is a good example when you look at its popular videos and "personalities": A bunch of people with no actual talent or charisma "gamefying"/taking advantage of a system and the clueless audiences that watch them because they don't know better.

It reminds me of why a medium like animation got less popular:

First, there's specific rules from Youtube such as the 10 minute mark and how it relates to income, which was something animators barely could handle.

Then there's the fact that people like to play videos while they do something else as if they're background noise (This doesn't apply to just podcasts or commentaries).

It's probably not a surprise that some people who worked on more creative mediums end up doing podcasts or LP channels.

And then you have smaller channels doing the "don't forget to like, subscribe and hit the bell" etc part because YT essentially became a race of success and less about passion or effort into quality content.

Some say YT became more about personalities than content but even then, you can tell that James Rolfe still has a more interesting personality than Logan Paul.

One can argue that some people do rely on YT for the sake of money so "clickbait is needed" but i also assume that anyone who's super into Doom could just discover content on their own.

Another thing about modern internet is chasing trends or when everyone has to talk about what's currently popular, leaving little room for novel topics or creativity.

Anyway

Each of these 3 sections could've been better but i brought up some points that serve as food for thought, so any more interesting observations/opinions/even trivia could be reached from reading this, hopefully.

I doubt Midnight would ever find this blog and read this post... but at least he'd have more interesting material to use for his videos i guess.

Meanwhile.....Snorty....

Is gonna let you know she’s totes unbothered about her kween again flipping off/handing Jizzystans the verrryyyy shitty end of the stick....and she’s gonna spend a whole lotta time letting you know this....

Oh the person asking (either Racist or herself, I suspect) is so fucking far off the map on, literally, FUCKING EVERYTHING I’m struggling with where do I even begin???

Umm....the show is already ON Netflix and they control their syndication. And make it profitable. It’s precisely why they’ve always been so unconcerned. Why TF would there be “new promo posters” for a 7 year old show that’s ending? I don’t think Nexstar’s “springing” for new anything. 

They were papped back in the day because Cole and PP were a couple....now they get papped cuz PP and Crotchi want nu coats. Plus, dude.....so you’re legit admitting all the actors, excepting Cole, are rapidly declining in popularity? Whelp, no argument there....

And while I don’t think Barfie will be “endgame” that’s some supreme sour grapes there, loser....

Heh. Snorty thinks they’re right, cuz she probably DID send this to herself!

The show hasn’t been getting promo cuz the broadcast date hasn’t been scheduled. RAS didn’t “beg” anybody and the show had better numbers than most of the shit at Paleyfest....

It’s been clickbait for the infotainement writers all along, Snorty. I don’t even know what you’re talking about (actually, neither do you, buuut). There’s no need for a new photoshoot, anyway.....prior to Season 5′s, I think they hadn’t done new pics since TWO (and that was cuz so many new peeps were added). It’s a 7 year old show. It’s still popular on Netflix, it’s still profitable and since it’s ending, NONE of this matter, dumbass! 

Actually Stupid Pets gets better ratings than most of the CW’s scripted shows (which are all likely to be cancelled soon). And again, doesn’t matter. Doesn’t mean you get your way.

So don’t watch....there’s a reason why you’re so obsessed tho---it’s called you’re infuriated over having not gotten your way. There’s a reason for that---it’s called your kween. 

Blah, blah, blah.....yes, Barfie was neverrrr gonna save dick. Well aware. Also? This demonstrates even before Jizzy the split, the show steadily declined....any number of reasons for that....but it certainly doesn’t demonstrate a whole bunch of shit you love did anything FOR the show...

Plus, dude, there aren’t even close to “all 100″ of you sockpuppets left, even with 5 accounts each to fill the GG.....

And, again, all immaterial. Still doesn’t mean you get “endgame”. 

Umm.....nooooo? 

They were recently pissy about Cole’s polite answer, but even that was a small, loud minority of them. The rest were chill once told, “he then shut it down hard”. I don’t recall seeing unhappy Barfies on twitter last season, quite the opposite, in fact....it was an icky, Barfie fascist wet dreem, so why TF wouldn’t they have been? 

Only thing I think they’d be pissed about was that, ultimately? Jabi were the real heroes.....but since it had lots pureheart Douchie, they were able to look past that, as well....

Not ONE Barfie ever said that. They’re convinced they’re getting a Barfie reset to innocent 50s highschool (incorrect, buuutt....). That’s the narrative the GG tells, not Barfies....

If anybody’s “not confident in the slightest” it’s yourself, Snorty.....is this the new “so insecure about....”???? Cause that’s always been a supremely weak argument on its own....

And we all KNOW the ones “telling you about it” are yourselves sending troll asks.....and, again, if you WERE you wouldn’t be lying all the time...
