My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 21 Review: Revival Party

New DVD release, , , , ,
This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. “What is…a normal life?” “Normalcy” is often viewed like it’s some congenital defect in My Hero Academia and there are plenty of characters in the series who view a lack of special abilities as a confirmation of inferiority. Granted, My Hero Academia exists within such an exaggerated world that there’s a sliding scale of what qualifies as “normal,” especially when it comes to the context of society’s villains. Contrasting opinions are presented on which villains are acting “properly” and have the best vision for not only the state of villainy, but society itself. …

The Justice Friends from Dexter’s Laboratory Deserve a Revival

New DVD release, , , , ,
I’d like to think that it’s widely accepted that 1990s animation was very good to comic book superheroes. We had a genre-changing Batman: The Animated Series, the deep and socially relevant X-Men: The Animated Series, and two expanded cartoon universes that came out of each one. But there was one superhero cartoon, neither DC or Marvel, that sticks out to me for being a bit underused and well before its time. I want to take a second to talk about the Justice Friends. The original two-season run of Dexter’s Laboratory not only focused on the main misadventures of the boy…

Dexter Revival Will Have “No Resemblance” to Original Finale

New DVD release, , , ,
According to returning showrunner Clyde Phillips, Dexter’s new 10-episode limited revival at Showtime will seek a more fitting ending for the series, after fans were left largely disappointed by the Season 8 finale that saw Michael C. Hall’s serial killer retiring to the Pacific Northwest to become a lumberjack. Phillips, who was in charge of the better first half of the Miami-set crime drama, says that the revival won’t exactly “undo” what happened at the end of Season 8, but instead “basically start from scratch.” “We want this to not be Dexter season nine,” Phillips informed THR on its Top…

Link Tank: The Brief Revival of a Superman Broadway Musical from the ’60s

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s a Bird … It’s a Plane … It’s Superman was a 1966 musical flop that almost saw a revival in 2010. Here’s what happened. “Dallas is a long way from Metropolis, but within the space-age architecture of the Dallas Theater Center, Superman was preparing to take flight. It was 2010, and the organization was on the verge of premiering what it hoped would be one of the biggest shows in its history: an entirely reimagined take on the 1966 Broadway production It’s a Bird … It’s a Plane … It’s Superman.” Read more at Vulture. Toshiba, a long-time household…

Clone High Revival Set at MTV, Phil Lord and Chris Miller to Return

New DVD release, , , ,
Clone High, the early-2000s era-defining cult-classic animated series, is about to have its story genome extracted and spliced into a new television series vector, with MTV now set for franchise revival plans. MTV has announced the long-awaited return of Clone High, which will manifest as an all-new small-screen series that will “re-imagine” the 2002-2003 single season original series. Auspiciously, the revival will see the return of creators Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Bill Lawrence, who will develop alongside its appointed showrunner, Erica Rivinoja, who served as a writer on the original series. Thusly, Rivinoja will co-write the pilot with Lord…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Mike Flanagan, the horror auteur behind The Haunting of Hill House and last year’s theatrical version of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, is attached to yet another King property: the 2014 novel Revival. Deadline reports that Flanagan will write an adaptation of the novel for Warner Bros. Pictures “with an option to direct,” so he’s not confirmed yet to do the latter. Flanagan is also going to produce the project along with his regular producing partner, Trevor Macy, through their Intrepid Pictures banner. Revival has been acclaimed as one of King’s better recent novels, and at 405 pages, one of his…
