Archivis News Update, Again

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Agents Of SHIELD is instead taking another two week break before the next episode. To paraphrase fellow Internet personality MovieBob"Is Disney trying to make another Whedon one-season-wonder?"

Original post is as follows.

Alo Party Peoples.

Today is a sort of variety show with strange facts, movie gossip, and general opinions on some films.

Did you know that the term "superhero" is trademarked? It is co-owned by Marvel and DC. How do other people not get sued for using it? By not using "superhero" in the title, and at least in the US, you cannot copyright a concept, fact, or idea.

I have been streaming the 21st' century Battlestar Galactica on Netflix, I haven't gotten past the second season yet, but from what I have seen I can say that it is a well acted, generally well written, compelling military drama, and to a lesser extent political drama, with high production values, that just happens to take place in space.

There seems to be a rumor that Johnny Depp is under consideration to play Doctor Strange an upcoming Marvel movie. Don't know who Doctor Strange is? I explained that in this post here. Here is a source for this rumor. He does look the part---->, but being unfamiliar with the comics, I cannot say if he is right for the part. If they also ask Tim Burton to direct, I can see his aesthetic style either working pretty well for surreal fantasy like Doctor Strange, or being too dark to fit well within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Speaking of Marvel, Agents of SHIELD has been alright. That is all I can think of to say about it right now. It is certainly serviceable, and I haven't spotted any crippling flaw, but I can't really think of a reason to watch this show other than staying entirely up-to-date on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, next week Stan Lee is set to make an appearance, so perhaps that will improve it. It is a shame that they put said appearance in the preview though, usually his cameos are an Easter egg for people to look for, and announcing it now will rob hardcore Marvel fans of the satisfaction of spotting it.

That is all for now, next time will be a movie review, I promise you.

Have a nice day.
