– 21st Century Fox has reportedly bought the rights to Stan Lee’s life story. They’re also planning to turn the biopic into a fictionalized action adventure because Stan Lee was in the room when the deal was made and no one thought not to listen to him. There’s no details yet on what this adventure would actually entail but I hope the movie is two hours of Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby saving the world with Lee showing up only for the last five minutes of the film to take all the credit.
– There’s a new web series coming out September 16th called Pokemon Generations and it looks beyond legit. The series is going to be made of different episodes that each cover an iconic moment in the Pokemon games (like fighting the Red Gyrados in Gold & Silver for example. If there’s any justice in the world, there’ll also be a few episodes covering moments from Griffin McElroy’s Nuzlocke run. Dicks out for Sea Breeze y’all.
– Lego is going to release a Ms. Marvel minifig as part of the “Captain America Jet Pursuit” set. Tragically, she will be made out of hard plastic and not some weird stretchy Play-Doh substance.
– Neal Adams is the new spokesman for an open source animation platform named Swipe that will allow you to create nightmares.
– Cartoon Newtwork cult classic Regular Show is heading into its final season later this month. Regular Show has been a Cartoon Network staple for the past six years and acted as your cousin’s gateway drug into other stoner TV shows.
