Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Good news! Apparently Coyote vs. Acme has been sold to a distributor and WILL see the light of theatres in 2026!

A first glimpse of Beyond the Spider-Verse was seen with the release of some stills at CinemaCon though the release date not being until 2027 was a bit disappointing.

It's April Fool's Day, one of the few folk holidays which seems to be A) still very much needed and B) have been so overtaken by reality as to have been rendered null and void. Though there is also C) media sources being a lot more wary about duping their consumers in the age of "fake news" claims.

However, if you have a favourite memory of an April Fool's prank please do share it, I think we need the smile.

For a fun bit of nonsense, someone has started making morphing sequences for their custom LEGO Power Ranger minifigures

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s misleading. I remember there was a furor over kids identifying as cats and wanting to use litter boxes in school and shockingly it was a hoax. Stories like this are effectively used to get a reaction from certain groups.

And leading thence into the assumption that any child pretending to be an animal for any reason—which, last I checked, was one of the major things kids do—is a nascent FURVERT! Imagination terrifies these folks as much as empathy.
