Luz Noceda, the lead character in "The Owl House," was revealed to be bisexual in the episode "Enchanting Grom Fright," premiering on August 8, 2020. She had a romantic dance with her former nemesis and future girlfriend Amity Blight.

An out gay character, Alex, was seen and described as gay on “Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion." The character appeared in only one episode, "Ultra Matchmaker," airing on July 8, 2022.

Trans actress Juliana Joel introduced her out trans character Nikki on the "Raven's Home" episode "The Fierce Awakens," premiering July 8, 2022. Nikki became a recurring character as Raven's fashion design assistant. She is openly described as "trans" on the show. Shown above is Juliana Joel with Raven-Symone.

I been thinking of there being a comic book IP and sometimes a shared universe with superheroes, vigilantes, super-powered individuals, etc., similar to Marvel and DC, but it’s from shows and movies that either been cancelled, been left on a cliffhanger, are underrated, are not well-known, or have more potential than was presented.

It can’t already be based off another series, comic book, or have even been successful, which is why The Incredibles isn’t on here.

There are a few more that I want to include but I’m not sure about some of them.

And I will give you credit if anyone decides to come up with a name for whatever this is.

I was on holiday at the time of the announcement, so I missed the hype train but holy fuck, Bunk'd is FINALLY ENDING THIS YEAR.

And y'know what, I think it's long overdue. The show was supposed to end after Season 3, but ideally should've ended after S2, because it's been a complete downward spiral ever since: From writing the cast off the show for no given reason, to the retcons, to the seasonal rot, and the continued tradition of writing every character off after a season finale and replacing them with carbon-copies. And the constant renewals... there's a reason I call this show the Disney Simpsons (ignoring how Disney actually kinda does own the Simpsons but besides the point).

It would've been hardcore milking if it had gone on for any longer.

Allegedly, when production of the show was re-instated when the Writer's Strike ended (side-note, despite how happy I am the show is ending, I take no joy in the disrespect that writers have been facing over the years, no matter how bad I personally find the show to be,) two final episodes were produced in post for Season 7, a total of 22 episodes for the season, capping off the show with 161 episodes overall. The final 10 episodes are set to air this year in 2024.

My main prediction is that Episode 721 and 722 will be a two-parter finale to end off the series. I am HOPING that they bring back Jessie (it's a Jessie spin-off without Jessie herself, wtf?) and the Rosses (except for Luke and Kipling) and reveal what's been going on since the OG cast was written off. Either way, I just hope that it doesn't suck and even moreso that Disney will actually COMMIT to this instead of some surprise renewal.

Men with that blue glowing ability my beloved 💙

Why are all the series I've watched lately featuring Mexican American protagonists and families end up getting cancelled. Ahhhhh. And on essentially cliffhangers/and or where obviously so many things are left unresolved and the series could have continued.

All the series I've watched with this being the case are:

Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion

Gentefied

Party of Five

Vida

George Lopez

The Imperfects

Primo

This is why we can't have nice things

Mainline Pokémon Games Based on How Buggy They Are: A Thread

Red, Blue, & Yellow

Pretty buggy. The Butterfree line set the stage for regional bugs and emotional trauma. Everybody loves Scyther. Inspired use of Cordyceps when designing the Parasect line. Kabuto and Kabutops should have been Bug to honor trilobites for founding Arthropoda. 8/10.

Gold, Silver, & Crystal

Yes, we had Scyther, but what about second Scyther? Scizor, Heracross, and Shuckle are legends. Game Freak decided to invite arachnids (Spinarak and Ariados) to the party, truly redefining what it means to be buggy. 9/10.

Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald

This generation is loaded with bugs! Game Freak realized their mistake in not giving the Kabutops line Bug typing, making up for it with Anorith and Armaldo (who are based on Anomalocaris). They fumble the recovery, however, in not only depriving the Flygon line of Bug typing, but forever making them second fiddle to the Salamence line. The Beautifly, Dustox, and Ninjask lines introduce some interesting approaches to Bug-type evolution. Volbeat and Illumise are there. 7.8/10.

Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum

DELELELELELEWHOOOOOOP! A smaller collection of bugs this gen, but a well-rounded one. Vespiquen slays. Scorpions get some love via Skorupi, Drapion, and Gliscor. Writing this post is making me realize that slugs, snails, and nudibranchs like the Magcargo and Gastrodon lines aren’t bugs. We grew up thinking snails were bugs, right? Anyway, Yanmega rules. 8/10.

Black, White, Black 2, White 2

Game Freak’s magna opera. Truly the buggiest games there are. While you have to wait until Pinwheel Forest to encounter your first bugs, you’re rewarded upon arrival with Sewaddle and Venipede, the larvae of the Leavanny and Scolipede lines. From there, you encounter the Crustle, Galvantula, and Volcarona lines. Game Freak has some more fun with Bug evolutions, having Karrablast steal Shelmet’s armor as they evolve into Escavalier and Accelgor (inspired by the real-world interactions between the ground beetle family Carabidae and the gastropods they feed on). Durant is our first proper ant, and we get our first (and only . . . ) legendary / mythical Bug in Genesect. These games made Bug my favorite type. 10/10.

X & Y

A big step down from the previous generation. This game hardly has any bugs. Do you like butterflies? You get a butterfly. Vivillon is a lovely butterfly that comes in all sorts of colors, but SURELY there are more bugs than that in France. 6/10.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon

Giant isopods! Diving bell spiders! Giraffe stag beetles! A true return to form. While the native bugs of Alola are great, we are also introduced to the ultra beasts, two of which (Buzzwole and Pheromosa) are really cool bugs. It seems they were going for wasps and bee flies when designing the Naganadel and Ribombee lines, but they don’t really work for me. Faint blemishes on an otherwise buggy generation. 8.5/10.

Sword & Shield

Centiskorch is the greatest Pokémon ever made. I have them tattooed on my arm. Blipbug is the worst Pokémon ever made. I see them in my nightmares. Interesting that they’re both Bug Pokémon, and that Game Freak really min-maxed with them. Fortunately, Blipbug evolves into Dottler and Orbeetle, who are great. Snom has a place in everyone’s heart, and Frosmoth is elegant as can be. 9.5/10.

Scarlet & Violet

I love Rellor and Rabsca! I . . . don’t really love the rest! Iron Moth and Slither Wing are great, but they’re nepo babies. Tarountula and Nymble are nice, but Spidops and Lokix leave something to be desired. Orthworm is a a big worm. At the end of the day, these games would be alright if they weren’t so wonkily coded and glitchy. Wish there was a better word for that. 7/10.

[deweyduck]

kinda sucks that disney channel doesn't tell us when shows are cancelled anymore. sydney to the max, ultra violet & black scorpion, saturdays, and now the ghost & molly mcgee all just ended with no notice.

[uncharismatic-fauna]

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Although their small size makes it easy for them to go unnoticed, scorpions are actually easy to find-- all you need is a black light! The hard exoskeleton has a chemical compound that absorbs ultra-violet light and emits it as a fluorescing pigment, which glows a bright blue-green under black light. Scorpions have poor eye sight, so this feature may help them identify prey in the dark.

i wish people were being louder about ultra violet and black scorpion getting cancelled?? i dont think it has any sort of fandom but its RARE that a disney channel show will get cancelled after one season. it seemed to play out similarly to fast layne, a more action based single cam show that ended with a cliffhanger and never came back, but i swear they said at the time that fast layne was a miniseries, the cliffhanger was what confused me. ive heard that uv&bs got cancelled bc its too serialized and doesnt work well for reruns which i do kind of understand but i feel like there are plenty of serialized shows that air reruns?? if anything, i would catch reruns of it more often than the other live action shows i watch like ravens home and villains of valley view, but maybe thats just the timing.

anyways i was really enjoying this show and the cliffhanger really got me and it just really sucks that the show lead by an entirely latino family gets cancelled?

[disney15ish]

When Disney Channel has the same amount of current super based shows as CW..

Disney Channel: just starting 2 - Villains of Valley View, Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion

CW: Finishing current seasons of Superman and Lois and The Flash

The Disney Channel shows also have a likely possibility of still being on in the fall when Stargirl will be the only CW superhero show airing. .

Disney Channel’s First Gay Marriage Proposal

by spaceotter42

Disney Channel viewers may be pleasantly surprised to see a gay marriage proposal on Friday’s episode of “Bunk’d.”

In the March 3rd episode, “No Pain, No Grain,” “Winnie helps her brother Wayne propose to his boyfriend (Nicholas) during their visit to the camp.”

Wayne and Nicholas are played by Jacob Haren and Frankie Rodriguez.  Frankie also plays openly gay Carlos on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney+.  And Jacob is a Broadway actor of “The Book of Mormon” and other productions.

Bunk’d is a long-running Disney Channel series, a spin-off of “Jessie,” and it has been renewed for a historic seventh season.

Friday night is Disney Channel’s most progressive night for LGBTQ+ firsts.  First, we had gay characters Cyrus Goodman and TJ Kippen on “Andi Mack.”  Then a trans character, Nikki, was introduced on “Raven’s Home,” and an out gay character, Alex, was seen on “Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion.”  The last two TV episodes aired on the same night, July 8, 2022.

Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion gets cancelled after 1 season, not even 3 months after said season premieres, yet Bunk'd gets renewed for a 7th season halfway during its 6th season's run?

Makes sense (HARD /s)

[bluebutlikenotalways]

They’re doing their best

[kuramirocket]

I just finished watching all of Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion and honestly it's a really good and funny series!! It took a few eps for the series to pick up, I feel, but after the ep around the time Nino meets Catalina, I fell in love with the series. I just love the family bonds with our protagonist Violet and her family; it's so cute and such a healthy family dynamic and relationships. And they're Mexican American superheroes!!

Which is why I am so sad that series got freakin cancelled after just one season with 16 episodes!! And it ended on a flippin cliffhanger too!!

Aaaaaarggggggg!!! This is why we can never have good things!!
