Marita Vlachou at The Guardian:

Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, on Wednesday announced the spinoff of many of its cable TV channels, including MSNBC, carrying out a plan the company had hinted at earlier this year. In addition to MSNBC, the portfolio of the newly created company titled “SpinCo” will also comprise CNBC, USA, Oxygen and E!, among other channels, as well as digital assets, including Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes. Those assets made about $7 billion in revenue in the year that ended Sept. 30, the company said in a press release.

Bravo, the NBC broadcast network, the Peacock streaming service, Telemundo as well as the theme parks business and film and television studios will remain part of Comcast. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the transaction was imminent. Mike Cavanagh, the president of Comcast, said the move will enable “both SpinCo and NBCUniversal to play offense in a changing media landscape.” “Taken together, the entirety of NBCUniversal will be on a new growth trajectory, fueled by our world-class content, technology, IP, properties and talent — all working in concert with each other as an integrated media company,” Cavanagh said. Mark Lazarus, the outgoing chair of the NBCUniversal Media Group, will serve as chief executive of the new company. The process is expected to be completed in about a year, the Journal reported earlier.

Comcast spins off nearly all of NBCU’s cable networks, including USA, CNBC, MSNBC, and E!, into a separate spin-off company named SpinCo. NBCUniversal will retain NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, and Peacock as its key assets.

Splitting off CNBC and MSNBC, and possibly USA, from NBCU, is a disastrous decision, mainly due to newsgathering resources being shared (MSNBC and CNBC) and sports coverage (primarily USA, but also some CNBC).

Pete Davidson is the latest comedian to present a fictionalized/exaggerated version of his life in a sitcom, with the new show Bupkis. Davidson, who is starring, writing, and producing, is joined on the show by series regulars Edie Falco and Joe Pesci ... and if that's not enough, the list of the show's guest stars is enormous, running the gamut from Hollywood stars like Steve Buscemi and Brad Garrett, to athletes like Eli Manning, to hip-hop musicians like Jadakiss and Method Man, to former Vice President Al Gore. Davidson told us he reached out to such a diverse assortment of personalities because he wanted the show's comedy to be unpredictable.

Bupkis is currently streaming on Peacock.

*Updated version*

The only movie in which the Six-Eared Macaque is given a love interest would be in A Chinese Odyssey? Or is there more?

Funny enough there are a FEW movies that do give him something of a SO.

Retelling Continuation Alternative Universe

A Chinese Odyssey Part Three (2016) 大话西游3 - he gets a romantic interest that is Zixia's twin sister, Qingxia, who is also a candle stick of Buddha. (the whole movie recons the OG movies). Six Ears has been Wukong the whole time so far cause Wukong wasn't BORN yet. So when the events of the movie were to happen he was supposed to switch with Joker->Wukong but he finds out that he has a secret son with Qingxia that he never knew about. His secret son is actually Tang Sanzang and thus he goes on the journey to protect his son which leads to Joker never becoming Wukong and Six Ears pretending to be Wukong the whole time.

A Chinese Odyssey: Million Years (2017) 大话西游之爱你一万年 - same plot as CO3

The Monkey King: The True Sun Wukong (2019) 美猴王之真假孙悟空 - so this is kinda a tragic love story where Six Ears was in love with a dragon girl who gave him her pearls. But Wukong had them and thus the dragon girl eventually falls in love with Wukong when Six Ears wants her attention. So heartbroken and abandoned Six Ears has some evil Snake Demon that falls in love with him but he too hell-bent on revenge now to even notice and she ends up dead as well and the Dragon girl ends up as Wukong's staff.

The Real vs. Fake Monkey King (2020) 真假美猴王之大圣无双 - He This movie is actually ALL about Six Ears and his Flower Wife! Six Ears in a stone monkey in this verse and as such a Peaock Demon wants to use him to kill Sun Wukong. Six Ears' wife is the vines that grew around him when he was stone and she sadly gets hurt and almost dies. Six Ears makes a deal to lose all his memories and replace them with Wukong's memories in exchange for saving her. Thus leads to Flower Wife having to figure out who is her real husband when both of them now have identical memories and neither remembers her.

Marvel Monkey (2021) 六耳猕���之妖王重生 - this one kinda of weird cuase like it more Six Ear's next life where Zhao Xiaotian a human girl loves him but is forced to marry his twin brother.

And these are the few there the Six Eared has someone fall in love with him/flirt his way to use people that don't really count as a SO but I'm still going to include them.

Journey to the West The Legend of the Merman (2017) 西游鲛人传 - he tricks the Spider Demon into thinking he is Wukong so he does flirt but not really an SO

Six-Eared Monkey (2021) 六耳猕猴 - this isn't really a love story but he had like…. a situation (?) with like a lady of hell… more like he flirted his way out of hell but like… doesn't regret leading her on

True and False Monkey King / Dare to Ask the Way: Apprentice Chapter (2030) 西游记真假美猴王 - he has like an apprentice in this movie but idk if it's like his son or anything…

[princess-of-the-corner]

Say, recall that post on how Season1 to 3 could be done with the revised Butterfly? I realize one could get the same general plot beats out of season 4 with it & the 12 Kwami too... Well kinda.

Here's how I'd do it if I had to stick to some things bit not others XD

Season 3: As before, Kim was Tiger King & Chat Blanc was more like a prophecy. Also Gabriel steals the Miraculous that weren't being used, Mouse & Peacock.

Miracle Queen is slightly altered to show more sympathy for Chloe, either with her being an Akuma kid, so Gabriel forcibly Akumtizes her, or showing how unstable her head-space is.

Rather than declaring for Hawk Moth, Chloe just tries to run but its seen as an admission of guilt by the heroes who don't ear her out.

Season 4: Marinette & Adrien's whole arc is grappling with issues of trust, forgiveness, looking back and realizing mistakes sometimes in time other times too late & the increasingly crushing weight of their duties. Overall mostly the same-ish, the differences come from the villains and can be broken into 4 quarters.

Quarter 1: Truth & Lies is one episode, Gabriel has been subtly negging Kagami & having Lila through one means or another stoke paranoia in Luka. He uses Mullo to duplicate his Akuma & transforms them both at the same time, as well as giving them Familiars. He uses the Peaock to transmute their physical forms to make them more dangerous or hard to hit.

This nearly wins him the day, Marinette has to pull on most reserve heroes & uses a combo of Multi-Mouse & Trixx to protect her identity, which coincides with her having to reveal her identity to Alya to get the job done. The big reason he loses is the Kwami didn't tell him that while adults can use the powers more than once, they can still be hurt overdoing it, so Gabriel collapses from the strain & is pissed.

Stuck on more subtle methods for the next quarter he persists in trying to low key undermine Kagami, Chloe, harass the other temp heroes & uses Lila as his on the ground scout. She's living alone in a new apartment now with her mother thinking she's at a fancy boarding school & she's clearly... struggling, but doubling down thinking she can somehow 'win'.

The other big shift if Chloe's head-space is less pro Hawk Moth and more bitter cynic about the heroes. Sabrina notes she thinks 'something' happened on Miracle Queen Day but Chloe can't/wont talk about it.

Sole Queen happens here with her trying to be a good big sister, IE:

"Dressing and acting this way is expected, this is how we avoid mothers wrath, don't fall for fathers sad dog act give him an inch & he takes a mile. Our classmates have no sympathy for people who aren't doormats & if you want to resist Hawk Moth you have to be strong!"

The pressure she puts on Zoe is a microcosm of the pressure she's under & Zoe snaps. Then gets accepted by the class which Chloe has mixed vibes on at best. Their relationship persists a little longer n that Adrien & Chloe "I want this to work but not on your terms" and Chloe's "I want this to work but I need more from you than you give."

Quarter 2: Alya has been helping Marinette cover her identity, serving as substitute Ladybug and the "new" fox.

Lila continues stalking & sabotage. Chloe's head space continues to deteriorate, while others like Kagami also show issues they get sufficient support that it doesn't break them.

Queen Bananas is actually a major episode two one scene. When the movie is being discussed in class, Chloe is absent. It cuts to Gabriel's Manor where a very frazzled Chloe is being given a manipulative spiel about how "This movie is for you, to finally say your piece and have people hear you."

When she leaves she sees a similarly frazzled Lila being shooed away, "You are not meant to come here in daylight" and the two hair a brief stare off before looking away and pretending they didn't see the other. Besides that, when Gabriel sabotages 'her' movie and gives it to the class in secret, Chloe's breakdown reaches peak.

This is also where she realizes Gabriel is Hawk Moth intensifying her lashing out at Adrien, "Were you in on this!? Of course you don't understand you never listen!" and as Queen Banana she is extra unhinged. Still, nefore she transformed she was shown scribbling "Gabriel = Hawk Moth" on her arm.

Quarter 3: Lila has been stalking Alya and while nothing is confirmed, (To Gabriel) he does know she's still in Ladybug's confidence. Cue all that noise.

Alya almost gives in, but doesn't solely cos she knows Marinette's identity. IE, she would have gone Miracle Queen for her family too, but she had more reason to trust Ladybug.

Despite the win, this is where Alya has to publicly quit being Ladybug's ally because she's endangering her family.

& worse? The fox is missing.

Lila has it, but Hawk Moth doesn't know.

At the end of this quarter Gabriel is back to using all three Miraculous baby!

Penal Team is the culmination of Chloe's anger at the heroes, isolation from support & rejection by others all manifesting in a massive:

"You want a monster, I'll give you a monster like you've never seen!"

This also breaks between Chloe & Sabrina; potentially on purpose. The battle is hard and hectic & Ladybug has to call on many heroes to win & they ultimately end up in a stalemate.

Chloe's anger is to uncontrolled to articulate anything beyond vagaries abut being left exposed, how she thinks Hawk Moth will win, s just trying to survive, ETC. When looked back on it makes a major point but in the moment it gets a:

"This is why you were never fit to be a hero!"

Which ends up leaving her so depressed, along with the stalemate that she forcibly kicks Hawk Moth out of her head and just... Quits.

Lila comes to recruit her at the end of it but Chloe is looking at the broken glasses and smirking, stopping Lila in her tracks by asking if she wants a jib.

Quarter 4: Adrien is still being sent on some kind of tour, or Felix has some kind of prank (Seemingly) planned for the event. Either way Marinette needs to get in to see him for sentimental reasons like passing on a gift from class or to stop the "Prank" (the whole thing with the rings)

She is surprised that Jean seemed leery to add her to the staff when Zoe used her Chloe impersonation though. As well as confused there's another "new staffer" Its Chloe in a bird mask. Yet a confident, swaggering Chloe is also attending the party, whaaaat?

Yeah its Lila using Glamour and make up to pass as Chloe.

Meanwhile Chloe breaks into Gabriel's office, finds the secret entryway and basically holds reveling the truth or Emilie's life hostage in a very. "Yes I'll go down but I will take you down with me" way. Forcing Gabriel to surrender the Peacock "He used it least so he's likely to give it up" and swear to leave her loved one's alone.

He bitterly does so before Akumatizing himself to try and get it back.

Lila gets a message telling her to leave & that Chloe will be leaving Paris that night if she wants to come. Lila is unsure caught between escape or finding a way to do more than 'run and hide', but either trust Ladybug enough to jus tell her this stuff. So she gets caught & Gabriel realizes she had the Fox but she loses it.

The episode ends on a disguised Chloe getting a hotel room in London, having used the transmutation power to make gold.

The big finale is basically built around a major scheme of Gabriel's.

Like canon in that respect but also him offering Lila a "Chance at redemption". Which comes with incredible danger!

She manages to play her part well, in part by figuring out Ladybug's identity and does actually steal all her Miraculous, including Tikki.

Buuuut she doesn't trust Gabriel and when he does indeed turn on her she manages to slip away with Tikki & maybe one other.

She returns it to Marinette & gives her a brief summary of, "Hawk Moth is Gabriel, he messed with out heads, betrayed us, and was always going to throw us away, & I don't know what to do anymore."

Exactly what state she's in when its all over, or if its even her who makes the delivery or a Kwami she gave the Miraculous too, or if she stays in Paris are all unclear. The underlying theme is she got dragged in too deep and taken advantage of by a adult manipulator. & that she didn't think anyone would believe her or care once she knew how bad it was. So rather than trying to get out (As Choe did) she tried to turn the game on him and uuh, it didn't pan out.

This episode would also likely involve Adrien also discovering the truth about Gabriel & basically needing to run like hell, but he can't contact Ladybug about it in time.

Season ends on Marinette & Adrien revealing their identities as they resolve to continue the fight.

Chloe is shown watching Hawk Moth's dramatic "I will soon win!" proclamation with Doosoo insinuating she'll be making a comeback in Season 5.

Not sure what would happen there, but yeah. that's a general idea anyway XD

let! Chloé! Go! Feral!

On the show FOUND...

I just watched this show and I have thoughts. It's a typical procedural, -TV junk food in the same comfort space as 9-1-1 or the Equalizer (new thing to solve every ep while progressing the characters' stories), but it has some curves... The premise is this guy kidnapped the lead as a girl (no SA, but *definite* grooming) and she escapes, but now keeps him chained in the basement (unbeknownst to everyone else) to help solve her cases so she can rescue other abduction victims. Yeah. Very clearly purposefully dipping in that toxic and fucked up "darkfic" ish loosely inspired by Silence of the Lambs. Seriously... that kidnapper dude is called "Sir". That definitely raises an eyebrow in today's purity culture-heavy era and it's another anti-procedural procedural (like the Equalizer) in that it veers off and subverts the typical cops as heroes and often marginalized people as "villains"), both the pilot and the latest ep spotlight the fact of cops neglect of certain kinds of disappeared people (black girls and sex workers). It's a risk... that seems to have paid off in the short-run, as it's Peaock's biggest debut since it's launch. EVERYONE in the main cast is BIPOC (including one character w/ a mental disability and another who is also part of the alphabet crew) except for Kelli Williams (so far) from the 2000's show, The Practice, whom I've missed seeing... and Brett Dalton.

As an aside, I am fascinated by a good chunk of Mark-Paul Gosselaar's recent roles. I just wonder what kinds of things white-presenting multi-/biracial folks see, hear, and experience from people who presume they are white. -And I wonder if his earliest experiences playing Zach Morris (as a child and being required to dye his hair blonde to better pass) has influenced his adult choices to be in media with non-white leads. Seriously, The Pitch, Mixedish, The Passage, and this-, Found... He did say he almost quit acting after they canceled The Pitch, he was so attached to that show. I want some entertainment reporter of color to really talk to him about it. I also love that a dark-skinned woman gets to lead this and have the "desire" drama, and be purposefully painted as attractive while strong. That's Shanola Hampton of Shameless. Too often it's a certain kind of "SBW" box that does not allow for black women, especially of a certain age and skintone, to be seen as anything beyond respected, intelligent survivors, and leaders.

And if there's any kind of desire or attraction entangled in that (which is becoming more frequent) it gets picked apart and *she* does often too... even at times by other black women; see: the lashing Olivia Pope got and Shonda for writing her, despite that being the genre (I have my theories on why that is, i.e. some black women are stuck in internalized black church misogyny/purity...but I digress). All this to say, this Hannibal/Clarice thing with a twist is interesting... but it's a hard line to walk, especially these days and especially in this comfort food procedural space. But I'm intrigued by the gumption.

10) writhing, gabenath

The snakes surrounded her, slithering closer, closer, closer, the fire from her torch acting as her only defence. But even as some coiled back with each swing, there seemed to be an endless supply of their writhing worm-bodies to assail her.

"Gabriel," she called, "please tell me you won't take much longer."

Silence answered her.

"Gabriel?," she chanced a glance behind her only to find nothing.

No Gabriel. No artefact. Just an empty plinth where it had stood. And a rope dangling down from a hole in the ceiling. One too high for her to reach even if she could risk dropping the torch that acted as her only shield.

It was not too high for Gabriel to have reached.

He'd abandoned her.

"No," like a child she was babbling out loud, "no, no Gabriel NO! You said we were in this TOGETHER."

But her screams did nothing to stop the serpent's jaws closing on her legs the pain-

-Nathalie woke up in a jolt. She hurt. She hurt so much. But the pain was in her chest and she was in her brightly lit room and not a dark cave.

The lights confused her a little. She didn't remember falling asleep with them on.

"You were having a nightmare," the answer came in Gabriel's rather abrupt voice.

He was standing by her bed apparently too unsure of his welcome to sit down, but guilty enough to not leave her alone.

Stiffly he said, "Would you prefer me to go?" Then after a moment added, "you screamed my name."

"It was the snakes. They caught me." Nathalie said dully.

"From the tomb?" Something in Gabriel's posture loosened and he sat down next to her.

She nodded.

"We got out," he offered, like it helped, "back then."

"It had a rather worse ending."

"Oh." He frowned, his hand hovering over his Miraculous as if he could draw back her emotion, "you felt...abandoned?"

"Don't do that." He knew better than to use it on her without permission. Or she'd thought he had.

"I'm sorry," he reached for her hand, "I know you don't want to be here anymore, but Nathalie, you're not alone."

She scoffed, her earlier terror turned to spite making her bold, "do you know the other reason I was so angry at you losing the Rabbit Miraculous?"

"Because I you blamed me for being distracted."

"Don't try and make it less than it was. Your desire to win turned out to be more important to you than saving your wife. That's no small thing. Not when it makes me question what you even want. But the other reason I can't look at you anymore? You finally had a chance to save me Gabriel. I've been ready since the start to be the price the Wish would take and since- since I've used the Peacock and I can't be anymore I've known I'm dying anyway. For nothing. Because you can only offer enough to save Emilie. Not me. But if you'd just used that damn USB stick then we both could have lived."

I could have lived a life where I never bound myself to you

"Nathalie," her name rumbles up through Gabriel's chest and both her hands are in his, "I have always, ever since you put that Miraculous on planned to save you as well as Emilie."

"Gabriel," salt prickled at the corners of her eyes, "do you really think it will let you have what you want for nothing? That what you lose will be meaningless to you?"

His face was pale, horrified, "why on earth did you use the Peaock then?"

"Why do you think?"

Miraculous Swaps Week - Day Two: Whatisthat!? (Awkward)

Lila probably wasn’t expecting Duusu to appear when she put the Peacock Pin on her bow, but when the little kwami yawned, she yelped.

And again, since I don’t have the transformation involved in this post, I’ve uploaded it to Imgur! Here’s the link! And yes, she gets a braid... idk, I like braids and Lila would have a great one with all her hair.
