Spoiler: These are questions for “girl” cartoons. Enjoy! As kids, we often easily accept the story we’re given, as long as it’s easy to understand and simple to digest. But as we age and we re-watch some of the shows we love…we realize that they sometimes just make no sense. And even worse is when they leave us reeling with questions that the move/franchise in question just doesn’t bother to help us answer! Such as when… Care Bears the Movie 2 The Question: Dark Heart is Healed. Now was happens to him? In Care Bears the Movie 2, a horse and…

And no, the dirty little secret isn’t that people actually saw the movie, cut it out. Back when Justice League, the assembled team of (2/6) teenagers with attitude sequel to Batman V. Superman  dropped for sale, rental, digital, tangible, and wherever else DC/Warner Bros. could convince people to “Please, please, please, just watch our movie” I decided to throw them a bone/do them a solid and watch the flick. I mean, after the roaring (surprise?) success of Wonder Woman and following the embarrassment of a film that was Batman V. Superman and all of its Marthas, audiences weren’t quite sure what to expect. Thus, I watched the film with a…

This is a “Nerd Voices” contributor post from Michael Casey. He has written a novel that rips off Douglas Adams style. You can get it FREE for a limited time only, unless you’re a Time Lord, via this link. If you’ve watched the Netflix series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, which was very loosely based on Douglas Adam’s novel of the same name, you probably noticed that the titular character is reminiscent of a certain time traveling doctor. Like the famous Time Lord, Dirk’s mannerisms and appearance are oh-so-quaintly English. The bright Brit hipster attire, the happy-go-lucky demeanor, the oddball…

It probably all started with Noh. Derived from the Sino-Japanese word for “skill” or “talent”, Noh is a major form of classical Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Noh is often based on tales from traditional literature with a supernatural being transformed into human form as a hero narrating a story. Noh integrates masks, costumes and various props in a dance-based performance. Related to mimes in some aspects, emotions are primarily conveyed by stylized conventional gestures while the iconic masks represent the roles such as ghosts, women, children, and the elderly. Written in ancient Japanese language, the text vividly describes the ordinary people…

Variety.com reports that after a strong push to get James Gunn back as director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” following his firing from the project, Disney and Marvel are standing by their decision to not reinstate him as helmer for the next installment. The decision came following a meeting between Gunn and studio chairman Alan Horn. Gunn was let go from the project when dozens of Gunn’s tweets (from about ten years ago) resurfaced on Twitter. The alleged joke tweets (about pedophilia and rape) were dug out of the Internet ash pile by alt-right agitators. The studio acted quickly to remove Gunn…

Merrie Melodies has gone mobile. As first reported by Deadline.com Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem, due out this fall, allows players to collect their favorite characters, build personalized Toon Towns, and battle it out with animated neighbors in prank-filled combat. The multiplayer role-playing game seeks to preserve the slapstick comedy and irreverence of the original animated shorts while providing a modern entertainment experience. “We have worked really hard to make sure that we maintain the level of humor you would have gotten from the show, and level it up,” said Scopely Chief Revenue Officer Tim O’Brien. “We maintain the sense of fun: the…

This is a “Nerd Voices” contributor post from Rachael Brennan. Follow her on Twitter! Everyone knows that Gaston from Beauty and the Beast was a total douchebag. Aggressive, demanding, and manipulative, he is basically what Martin Shkreli would be like if he ate five dozen eggs every morning. So why does everyone in this tiny village love Gaston despite his obvious horribleness? And why was the entire village willing to follow him to the castle to kill a beast they had only known existed for a few minutes? Because, as far as everyone in the village is concerned, Gaston is…

Entertainment Weekly reports a Game of Thrones final season tease, this time from Nathalie Emmanuel, who plays Missandei on the HBO hit. From her interview with the Hindustan Times, Emmanuel was asked about what fans can expect from next year’s eighth and final season of popular blood-spattering fantasy drama. “I think what we can expect from the final season of GoT is just a real push,” she reportedly said. “Like in the last couple of seasons, we have seen the pace of the show increase with the stakes getting higher and higher. There are so many storylines that have to come to conclusion. We have to play them…
