Clownfish TV: Audio Edition

Lucasfilm has got NOTHIN’ for Star Wars going forward. In fact, the word is they’re doubling and tripling down on more Rey -- despite the character not being very popular. Too bad they killed off everybody else... Disney’s focus on Rey-centric movies, despite fan backlash and disappointment with character development, reflects a troubling direction for the Star Wars franchise that may alienate audiences further. 00:00 Disney is prioritizing multiple Rey-centric movies over fan-favorite characters like Finn and Poe, emphasizing female representation despite backlash. 01:50 Disney’s mishandling of Rey and the Star Wars franchise has disappointed fans due to poor planning and character development. 03:25 Disney is struggling with new Star Wars content and is focusing on a Rey movie while Kathleen Kennedy aims to reshape the franchise’s narrative. 05:03 Disney prioritizes Rey over Luke Skywalker, ignoring fan backlash and leveraging her appeal despite the success of Luke’s return in The Mandalorian. 06:27 Disney’s Star Wars future is bleak, as ongoing failures to engage audiences and widespread criticism of the sequel trilogy suggest it’s time to halt new content. 08:41 Disney’s focus on Rey and new characters is alienating fans and reflecting a decline in trust and viewership in Star Wars. 11:13 Disney’s focus on Rey won’t shift perceptions, and they should prioritize merchandising over new films. 13:31 Join Clownfish Minus for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Could Trump -- or rather a Trump ECONOMY -- actually help the beleaguered American comic book industry? It’s possible if people have more money in their pockets and feel good about spending it. It’s also possible if more publishers pivot back to middle-of-the-road content. But there ARE some concerns. And the irony here would be if the comic book industry -- which largely hates Trump -- actually benefitted MORE by him being back in office. Trump’s potential return to presidency could positively impact the comic book industry by fostering economic growth and shifting focus back to traditional storytelling, despite challenges like rising prices and censorship. 00:00 Trump’s potential return could boost the comic book industry through a stronger economy and increased consumer spending. 01:58 Trump could revitalize the comic book industry by steering it away from activist content towards traditional storytelling that resonates with popular demand. 03:37 Blue Sky’s declining popularity reflects a detachment among users, suggesting it’s best to let them stay in their negativity. 05:16 Trump’s election could boost the comic book industry through economic improvements, despite challenges like rising prices and supply chain issues. 07:08 Increased tariffs on Chinese imports could boost domestic comic book printing and digital sales, benefiting the industry. 08:47 Trump’s policies may raise prices and reduce union power, potentially consolidating the comic book industry and threatening independent publishers amid growing censorship concerns. 11:03 Trump’s presidency might benefit the comic book industry through increased escapism, though rising prices could limit sales despite a potential economic boost. 12:44 Trump’s improving economy could boost the comic book industry, leading to increased spending and stability despite creators’ political challenges. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

CNN is getting gutted, and gaming journos will soon be unemployed. Everything is changing... quickly. CNN is implementing massive layoffs affecting hundreds of employees, including high-priced on-air talent following Trump’s landslide election victory and subsequent ratings wipeout. The media’s loss of trust originated in pop culture with gamers and nerds exposing corrupt, selfish, and biased gaming journalism, challenging mainstream media’s credibility. Mainstream media represents a minority perspective from small groups in very blue parts of the country, failing to resonate with the majority of people and leading to their decline. CNN is demanding reporters adopt YouTuber-like responsibilities, despite their lack of experience and resentment towards independent content creators who operate efficiently without extensive resources. The fake geek scene propped up by biased journalists with an agenda against "chuds" (certain gamers) was exposed as inauthentic, further eroding media credibility. CNN’s ratings plummeted to 5.1 million primetime viewers, significantly behind Fox News’ 10.3 million and MSNBC’s 6 million, despite attempts to pad numbers with cross-platform audience claims. Mainstream media is in decline due to political shifts, layoffs, and a loss of audience trust, while independent creators and AI-driven platforms are rising in popularity and challenging traditional journalism. 00:00 Mainstream media is collapsing amid political shifts and layoffs, while AI fosters independent news voices, challenging traditional journalism. 02:54 Mainstream media is declining as podcasters and AI take over, leading to layoffs at CNN and a shift in audience preferences towards platforms like Rumble. 05:34 Mainstream media is failing due to inaccuracy and declining viewership, while independent YouTubers gain popularity for more reliable coverage. 07:57 Mainstream media is struggling with salary cuts and low ratings, prompting a shift to smaller organizations and significant changes at networks like CNN. 09:54 Mainstream media is declining in viewership and trust due to unpreparedness for independent content creation, biased reporting, and a disconnect from audience interests. 13:41 Mainstream media is losing influence to independent creators on platforms like YouTube, prompting a reevaluation of their strategies amid challenges from social media. 16:19 Mainstream gaming media like Kotaku and Polygon may shut down or consolidate due to declining traffic and gamer backlash, reflecting a broader decline in legacy media’s ability to adapt online. 18:42 Join clownfishminus.com for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Get ready for more Disney microtransactions? Disney might be tapping the CEO of Electronic Arts as the new CEO of the company. Does this mean that frontrunners like Dana Walden and Josh D’Amaro are out of the running? Will Disney become like Hasbro, and be a video game company that just happens to have theme parks?

Is this the end of ’wokeness’ in Hollywood? While it was winding down prior to Trump’s re-election, Hollywood insiders are claiming that Trump 2.0 will signal a hard stop to many ’woke’ movies and TV shows for the foreseeable future.

Did Square Enix become another victim of "go woke, get broke?" The beleaguered Japanese RPG publisher took another massive hit to their stock this quarter, even after ditching platform exclusivity. Maybe gamers are withholding their wallets after debacles like censorship in Final Fantasy VII Remake and the Dragon Quest III Remake, or Forspoken... like ALL of it? Square Enix’s focus on "AAA Western-style games" and "wokeness" is alienating their core gaming audience and causing them to "bleed money" for years. The company’s decision to censor characters from the 30-year-old Dragon Quest series signals to gamers that the game will be "edited and woke". Square Enix’s stock plummeted 10% on November 11, 2024, losing $350 million in market value due to declining operating profit and premium game sales. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy (2020-2023) exemplifies Square Enix’s misguided focus on Western-style games over their traditional Japanese RPG roots. Square Enix’s Q3 2024 financial report revealed a 27% year-on-year operating profit decline, prompting investors to sell off stock. The company’s decision to sell off Crystal Dynamics and shut down the Tomb Raider and Marvel divisions is seen as a huge blow and sign of decline. Square Enix is facing a significant decline due to financial struggles, alienation of gamers, and a misguided shift in content strategy, leading to a loss of investor confidence and market value. 00:00 Square Enix’s decline continues as it alienates gamers, struggles financially, and attempts to pivot too late after years of missteps. 01:15 Square Enix’s stock is crashing due to declining AAA studios and a shift towards indie games, leading to a reassessment of their content strategy. 03:36 Square Enix’s stock plummeted over 10% after a Q3 report showed a 27% drop in operating profit, raising concerns about its reliance on remakes and neglect of gameplay and storytelling. 06:15 Square Enix’s stock dropped 10% amid mixed financial results and declining game sales, losing $350 million in market cap since November. 08:14 Square Enix’s stock is crashing as investor confidence wanes over poor Final Fantasy 16 sales and a shift towards Western AAA games. 10:08 Square Enix’s focus on wokeness and neglect of gamer preferences is causing a decline in sales and alienating American audiences, while indie games thrive by meeting actual demands. 14:21 Square Enix must focus on releasing more high-quality, engaging games without excessive budgets or lengthy development times to avoid business decline. 15:59 Join Clownfish Minus for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Mattel’s Wicked dolls linked to a 20-year-old porn site, exposing children to pornographic images due to the company’s inexcusable lack of due diligence. The recall of Wicked dolls will likely hurt Mattel’s business even more, as they were already not selling well and were counting on the movie’s success for holiday toy revenue. A simple Google search would have revealed the well-known porn site, making Mattel’s oversight particularly egregious. The misprinted URL appears on both the packaging and instructions inside, requiring Mattel to take back all dolls, repackage, and re-send them—an impossible task given time constraints. The dolls were intended to direct consumers to the official "Wicked movie.com" landing page but instead linked to a pornographic website. The issue "blew up" on Saturday, prompting Mattel to issue a statement and recall the dolls over the weekend.

The Wicked dolls by Mattel reportedly have the URL of wicked.com on the packaging -- an adult site -- and not the proper URL for the movie, which is wickedmovie.com. Wow, Christmas morning might be a bit of an eye opener for some kids... Mattel accidentally included a porn site URL on packaging for Wicked dolls, potentially exposing children to inappropriate content. The porn site is demanding millions for the URL, but Mattel may not have to pay as "wicked" is not trademarkable. The Wicked Witch actress made public digs at other auditionees, adding to the film’s negative publicity. Low sales and website visits suggest the dolls were unpopular even before the controversy went viral. Collectors may seek these dolls as rare errors if Mattel decides to recall them. The movie’s box office performance is uncertain, with its release scheduled just one week before Moana 2. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Lucasfilm employees are unable to keep their mouths shut about politics, with their director of cinematography deleting his account after making comments about Trump voters being disgusting. Disney’s handling of Star Wars has been criticized for bias and polarization, with Kathleen Kennedy pushing a female narrative in a way that screams patriarchy. The sequel trilogy failed to deliver on the promise of Han, Luke, and Leia together, with The Force Awakens attracting fans for that reason alone. The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are the only successful Star Wars projects under Disney, while other shows have been met with low viewership and disgust. The sequel trilogy’s failure is attributed to Disney’s interference and Kathleen Kennedy’s decisions, which have damaged the franchise and alienated a significant portion of the audience. The Star Wars franchise has lost its soul since being sold to corporations, with Disney’s handling being particularly damaging, according to creator George Lucas.

Ubisoft’s stock value has plummeted 75% over the past 5 years due to politics, consumer practices, incomplete games, and broken releases.

Ubisoft delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to 2025 to change the narrative and polish the game, addressing criticism of inconsistent quality. Ubisoft’s decision to delay Assassin’s Creed Shadows aims to deliver a day-one experience worthy of players’ time, rather than releasing a "polished turd". Star Wars Outlaws’ original creative director Julian Ger is moving to The Division 3 at Massive Entertainment, signaling potential issues with the project.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the first game in the series without DLC, marking a significant departure from the franchise’s typical post-launch content strategy. The game’s overt wokeness and focus on gender identity themes may have contributed to its poor sales, with 5% of content potentially alienating a massive audience. A trans character named TSH is a major plot point, with misgendering resulting in punishment, highlighting the game’s controversial approach to representation. The trans character storyline is described as a multi-million dollar therapy session, suggesting excessive resources devoted to a niche topic. The game’s script writers appear to have a strong personal connection to gender identity issues, potentially influencing the narrative direction. The lack of DLC and focus on a complete story contrasts with previous games’ post-launch content, which often included major plot developments like Solas’ heel turn in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Authorities allegedly used Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon as a pretext to investigate Mark Longo’s OnlyFans porn business, raising concerns about government overreach and abuse of power. Despite proof of no rabies, officials euthanized Peanut, highlighting potential misuse of authority and disregard for animal welfare in pursuit of unrelated investigations. Longo’s "spicy social media presence" and pornography with his wife on OnlyFans allegedly prompted the raid, suggesting moral policing by authorities without probable cause. Officials’ inquiries about cameras in Longo’s house during the raid indicate a possible violation of privacy and Fourth Amendment rights under the guise of animal control. The killing of Longo’s pets without taking action against him demonstrates a disproportionate use of force and potential abuse of legal procedures by law enforcement. The controversy has sparked heated debate about the intersection of personal freedoms, online content creation, and government surveillance in the digital age. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Margot Robbie just had a baby boy, and feminists on Twitter are so angry about it that they’re publicly wishing for harm to come to the child. No, we’re not kidding. Feminists are allegedly wishing harm on Margot Robbie’s newborn son, expecting her to raise him as a girl due to her role as Barbie. The gender reveal trend is causing mental health issues and toxic behavior, with women fantasizing about having girls and being devastated by boys. The Barbie movie is accused of being degrading to men, portraying them as suckers and suggesting Kens should have "almost as many rights as women". Some mothers reportedly view having a boy as a tragedy, wishing the baby dead in the crib for not being a girl. Internet and Hollywood are criticized for perpetuating a narrative that men are toxic and women are victims, ignoring the existence of good men and toxic women. Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy born on October 17, 2024. The couple, who met on the set of "Suite Française" in 2013 and married in 2016, had kept their pregnancy private until Robbie was spotted with a baby bump during a vacation in Lake Como, Italy, in July. Robbie, known for her roles in "Barbie" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," has expressed her excitement about motherhood, with sources noting that she and Ackerley have "wanted to start a family for quite some time. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

RIP Peanut. The Peanut the Squirrel controversy centers on a beloved, internet-famous squirrel who was seized and euthanized by New York state authorities, sparking outrage among fans and animal rights advocates. Peanut, rescued as a baby by Mark Longo and raised in his Pine City home, became a social media sensation, adored for his playful antics and quirky hats. However, after an alleged biting incident involving a state officer, New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation and the Chemung County Department of Health intervened, citing concerns about rabies. Both Peanut and a raccoon named Fred, also kept by Longo, were euthanized for rabies testing, as required by state protocol. Longo, who was reportedly working on obtaining certification for Peanut as an educational animal, criticized the heavy-handed raid on his home, which took hours and involved multiple officers. The incident has since ignited debates over the ethics of wildlife laws, the treatment of domesticated wild animals, and whether the authorities’ actions were warranted, drawing reactions from fans, celebrities, and even Elon Musk. 10-12 officers from Albany, 2 hours away, conducted a court-ordered raid on an animal sanctuary, killing Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon, despite the owner’s efforts to obtain permits and the low risk of rabies. The raid was triggered by a single complaint from an unnamed Texas woman, allegedly motivated by jealousy over the sanctuary’s success and the animals’ popularity. Authorities focused on the complainant’s immigration status during the raid, while allowing illegally present individuals to remain in the country, sparking outrage over the double standard. The killing of Peanut and Fred was deemed unnecessary, as the animals could have been quarantined and observed for rabies instead. Some attempted to portray the controversy as a MAGA issue, despite its lack of political relevance, while a Washington Post writer was criticized for heartlessness and misinformation. The case has sparked international headlines and calls for an audit of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and dismissal of those involved in the raid. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s "cringy" and "forced" portrayal of non-binary characters is seen as a major factor in its rejection by gamers and underperformance in the market. The game’s handling of misgendering and lack of apology for mistakes is perceived as insincere and dramatic, with reactions described as "over-the-top" and following a "checklist". Developed in 2015, the game is now considered a "relic of the past" with outdated sensibilities, feeling like a "time capsule" that’s out of touch with current gaming trends. The game’s narrative focus and smaller scope, intended as a departure from BioWare’s typical style, resulted in content that feels like a "multi-million dollar therapy session". Developers reportedly went through literature and message boards to get representation "correctly", resulting in content that feels forced and awkward. The game’s "anti-marketing" approach and "cringy content" are cited as factors that "chase most gamers off", contributing to its poor reception. The development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is criticized for its misalignment with player expectations and trends, highlighting broader issues in the gaming industry regarding representation, marketing, and the impact of personal narratives on game design. 00:00 The speaker critiques Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s development and notes the shift away from "woke" games, emphasizing the rise of indie titles. 02:28 The game is struggling due to diverging from past titles and marketing missteps, while modern games often mirror their creators’ personal therapy journeys. 04:33 The video discusses the struggle of representing non-binary identities in gaming amid gamer backlash against modern titles focused on social issues. 07:01 The game’s outdated feel and cringeworthy attempts at diversity reflect how quickly entertainment can become antiquated. 08:41 Misgendering in Lords of Fortune highlights the need for sincere apologies and accountability to maintain morale and trust. 11:39 Despite its narrative focus, the game’s troubled development and poor sales prospects suggest it may fade into obscurity. 12:57 Games developed over many years often disappoint upon release, leading to a cycle where studios push out content despite changing trends and player expectations. 14:20 Cringeworthy content persists in pop culture, suggesting a need for change before the system can improve. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Rainbow Brite is getting another reboot. Let’s hope it’s better than the Dynamite Entertainment comic book series. The Rainbow Brite reboot may significantly alter the original franchise’s diverse cast of color kids to appeal to a "modern audience." Crucial Entertainment, the company behind the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, is producing the Rainbow Brite reboot, raising concerns about its quality and faithfulness to the source material. The decision to use CGI for the reboot instead of traditional animation could drastically change the visual style and charm of the original 1980s franchise.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Anime English dub voice actors (VAs) could soon become obsolete, as the technology now exists to have original Japanese voice actors translated into English via AI. Japan is adopting AI dubbing for anime to replace English voice actors, aiming to maintain content control and avoid controversies like those surrounding Dragon Ball English VAs.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Disney’s inconsistent support for diverse cast members, exemplified by backing Moses Ingram while firing Gina Carano over pronoun issues, raises questions about their commitment to representation.

Twitch’s enforcement of community guidelines is criticized as biased and uneven, with streamers like Hasan avoiding bans despite rule violations while others like Asmongold face punishment.

Streamers who fail to accurately label their content will receive email warnings, with labels forcibly applied after multiple infractions. Viewers can toggle off political and sensitive content labels, potentially creating echo chambers and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. Despite guidelines prohibiting racism, hatred, and religious discrimination, some high-profile streamers like Hassan allegedly remain unpunished for repeatedly violating these rules.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Terrifier 3, a $5M indie horror movie, is a surprise hit with a $2.6M preview cache, expected to outperform Joker 2 in its second weekend. Joker 2, a $200M sequel, is a box office bomb with a $44.6M opening, down 12% from Wednesday and 19% behind The Marvels, marking the worst performance for an MCU title. Warner Bros. pressured Todd Phillips to make a Joker sequel to exploit IP, despite the first film’s success, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Misguided marketing for Joker 2 downplayed the musical aspect and focused on Joker and Harley, misleading audiences about the film’s tone and content. Joker 2’s autonomy and lack of test screenings allowed it to deviate from audience expectations, despite not having a particularly spoiler-heavy plot. Joker 2’s failure is a major stumble for Warner Bros., with sources telling The Hollywood Reporter that no studio head would have made a sequel to a commercially and critically successful film. ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com ➡️ Audio Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/ClownfishTV ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Joker 2 is struggling at the box office and facing negative reception, highlighting a potential shift in audience preference towards smaller budget indie films like Terrifier 3. 00:00 Joker 2 is struggling at the box office, potentially overshadowed by a $5 million indie horror film, amid negative reactions and concerns for YouTube creators. 02:47 Terrifier 3 is outperforming Joker at the box office with over $2 million in previews and a 94% audience score. 04:38 Hollywood should focus on smaller budget films as indie hits like Terrifier 3 outperform major releases. 06:43 Joker 2 is underperforming at the box office and facing a steep decline, while Hollywood remains unscathed despite its disastrous reception. 09:30 Joker 2 underperformed with a $190 million budget, earning a D Cinema score and drawing unfavorable comparisons to past comic book films. 11:45 Joker 2 faces backlash with a low Cinema score and misleading marketing, while Michael Keaton’s brief return as Batman fails to boost its disappointing box office. 13:42 Warner Brothers faces backlash for a poorly conceived sequel to a successful film, risking its legacy amid high profits and audience disconnect. 16:31 Joker 2 struggles at the box office, indicating a disconnect with audience expectations.

Disney’s new AI unit could potentially lead to the loss of hundreds of jobs in VFX and post-production, despite recent union agreements against AI replacing workers. The Office of Technology Enablement aims to streamline production in film and TV using AI and augmented reality, potentially disrupting traditional workflows.

Disney’s focus on creating best practices for itself rather than employees or the industry suggests a prioritization of cost-saving measures over worker interests. The unit’s goal to ensure next-gen tech initiatives align with company goals could lead to standardization of AI use across Disney’s diverse entertainment portfolio.

The death of cable TV just got real. Comcast is rumored to be considering a major breakup, spinning off its cable networks into a separate company as streaming continues to crush traditional TV. With millions cutting the cord every year, Comcast seems ready to ditch cable’s sinking ship, shifting its focus to more profitable ventures like broadband and streaming. This rumored spinoff would saddle a new entity with NBCUniversal’s cable channels, while Comcast leans into the future of digital content. If true, this move underscores just how out of touch cable has become in a world where viewers demand on-demand.

Boeing has recently announced the end of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program, marking a significant shift in its corporate strategy. The decision follows increased scrutiny and debate over the effectiveness of DEI initiatives in fostering inclusive workplaces. Boeing executives indicated that they will instead focus on broader goals of employee development and workplace culture, claiming this approach will allow for more holistic support across its workforce. The move aligns Boeing with a growing trend among corporations reassessing DEI programs, especially as some argue that these initiatives can create division rather than unity within teams. Boeing’s choice has sparked mixed reactions, with some applauding the shift toward inclusivity based on merit and others criticizing it as a step back in addressing diversity issues within the aerospace industry. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Happy Holloween! McDonald’s ice cream machines won’t be broken down as often. McDonald’s franchise owners will now be allowed to use companies other than Taylor, the long-standing and often controversial supplier, to repair its notoriously unreliable ice cream machines. Previously, McDonald’s franchises were restricted to Taylor’s services for maintenance and repairs, which many claimed led to prolonged downtime and costly repair processes. The new policy, approved amidst growing complaints and even a Federal Trade Commission investigation into the monopolistic practices around the machines, opens the door for alternative service providers, potentially making McDonald’s ice cream machines more reliable and accessible for customers craving a McFlurry without the infamous "out of order" notice. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Quentin Tarantino called Joker 2 a "F-you to comic book geeks" and a "big FU to Hollywood", praising it despite its massive financial failure. Todd Phillips directed Joker 2 as the Joker himself, recklessly spending the studio’s $200 million budget and offering a 10,000-volt buzzer handshake as a surprise gift. Joker 2 is reportedly one of the biggest flops of the year, losing $200 million at the box office despite being highly anticipated. Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck is described as "definitely not the Joker" from the comics, contrasting with Heath Ledger’s "phenomenal" and "intelligent" portrayal in The Dark Knight. Tarantino enjoyed the musical sequences in Joker 2, particularly the more banal songs, viewing the film as a "fever dream" of Mickey Knox. Tarantino watched Joker 2 in an almost empty IMAX theater, describing it as a "mess" and a "big giant mess" but not an "intellectual exercise". Tarantino commends "Joker 2" for its bold artistic vision and unique portrayal of the character, despite the film’s financial failure and mixed reception among comic fans. 00:00 Tarantino praised "Joker 2" as a bold statement against comic fans, but the film flopped, leaving the studio unhappy with its $200 million investment. 01:19 Tarantino lauds Joaquin Phoenix’s "Joker 2" as a bold critique of comic fans, amidst a backdrop of negative perceptions and financial concerns in the franchise. 03:10 Joker 2 surprised viewers with its engaging musicality and unique direction, earning Tarantino’s praise for its humor and originality. 04:52 Tarantino praised Joaquin Phoenix’s performance in "Joker," acknowledging its mixed reception while highlighting the film’s boldness and the director’s unique vision. 05:54 Tarantino praises "Joker 2" as a bold artistic statement that intentionally provokes comic fans and challenges DC’s expectations. 06:50 Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of the Joker diverges significantly from traditional comic interpretations, showcasing a unique character that even Heath Ledger’s version doesn’t fully embody. 08:10 Heath Ledger’s unexpected casting as the Joker shocked many, but his Oscar-winning performance redefined the role, leaving doubts about a potential Joker 3. 09:27 Warner is promoting exclusive content and discounts on their website, encouraging subscriptions and community engagemen 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

California’s film industry is facing significant turmoil and skepticism over a $750 million tax credit plan due to financial struggles, competition from other states, and a shift in priorities, leading to job instability and a reevaluation of traditional practices. 00:00 California’s $750 million tax credit plan to support Hollywood faces skepticism amid financial struggles, union busting accusations, and a shift in priorities towards tech. 04:17 Hollywood is in chaos as California’s film industry struggles against competition from states with better tax incentives, prompting Newsom to prioritize its protection. 07:21 Hollywood is in turmoil due to strikes, AI competition, declining production, and a shift towards self-funding, forcing a reevaluation of its traditional practices. 11:26 Hollywood is in turmoil as inexperienced youth rise rapidly while seasoned professionals are undervalued, creating a stagnant environment for advancement. 13:49 Hollywood’s chaos is driven by inexperienced leaders prioritizing modern audiences, resulting in costly failures and a frustrated workforce seeking fulfillment elsewhere. 17:47 Hollywood’s studio system is collapsing, leading to job insecurity and layoffs as creators turn to independent production amidst financial turmoil. 22:03 Hollywood is in chaos due to job instability and rapid societal changes, pushing individuals to adapt or face psychological strain. 26:45 Hollywood is finished, and it’s time to rely on yourself for entertainment and culture. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s ambitious $750 million tax credit proposal for Hollywood has encountered hurdles in Sacramento. The initiative, which would more than double the current budget for California’s film and television tax incentives, aims to keep productions within the state and combat the growing trend of studios relocating to states like Georgia and New Mexico. Newsom argues that the tax credit expansion is essential to maintaining California’s status as the entertainment capital, promising to boost job creation and support local economies. However, some lawmakers are hesitant, citing concerns over the state’s budget constraints and questioning whether Hollywood should receive such a substantial handout. With the state’s financial priorities under scrutiny, the proposal faces a difficult path to approval in the California legislature, especially as critics debate whether the funds could be allocated more effectively elsewhere. This move comes as other states ramp up their own incentive programs, attracting production studios with lucrative deals. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

A new study found that although female gamers often dislike highly sexualized characters, they still tend to choose them when given the option. The research highlights how character design in games, particularly the balance of sex appeal and strength, influences player perceptions. Interestingly, players rated highly sexualized, strong female characters as more sexualized overall, challenging the notion that strength offsets objectification. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

The Left hates Jeff Bezos now, and he’s doubling down on The Washington Post not officially endorsing a presidential candidate. The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate led to resignations of three editorial board members and thousands of subscription cancellations, including from celebrity Mark Hamill. Bezos’ choice may have been influenced by Harris’ proposed tax on billionaires, as he is a billionaire who pays little tax and has a personal interest in avoiding increased taxation. The Post’s decision was criticized as potentially being motivated by a desire to avoid alienating right-leaning advertisers, as the newspaper is reportedly "bleeding cash" and relies heavily on ad revenue. Bezos defended the non-endorsement by claiming that endorsements do not influence election outcomes and create a perception of bias and non-independence. The decision was made internally without consulting either campaign and was implemented with "inadequate planning" and "not enough time before the election". Bezos admitted he was "not paying attention" to the Post’s operations until it began losing money, suggesting a lack of oversight in the newspaper’s management.

Twitch could face a potential "Adpocalypse", drawing parallels to YouTube’s struggles in 2017. Devin Nash explained that Twitch is currently in an "advertising nightmare," with sponsors leaving the platform due to the spread of controversial and extremist content. He argues that Twitch needs to take drastic action, either by banning all politically charged and controversial content or allowing none of it, to prevent the platform from further alienating advertisers. Nash points to competitor platforms like Kick, which have capitalized on Twitch’s inconsistent content policies and captured around 10% of its audience​. Nash’s comments highlight Twitch’s growing challenges, as it continues to face pressure from advertisers and the broader live-streaming market.

Recently, YouTuber Rosanna Pansino reported MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) to the FBI after uncovering disturbing messages exchanged between MrBeast and his employees on a work Telegram chat. The messages, which range from 2020 to 2021, reportedly include inappropriate jokes, some of which involve sexual content and highly sensitive topics. Pansino’s investigation, conducted alongside a former MrBeast employee, led her to report these findings to the authorities, hoping that they would look into the matter further. The messages allegedly contain inappropriate discussions, including comments on minors, which Pansino and others have described as "disturbing." MrBeast has not publicly commented on the allegations yet, leaving his fan base divided on how to interpret the leaked content. Some supporters believe the jokes may be taken out of context, while others argue that given MrBeast’s massive influence, especially on younger audiences, higher standards of conduct should be expected. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

Right-wing pundit Glenn Beck seems to hate gamers, won’t let his daughters date gamers, and thinks your little action "figurines" are girly, too. Right-wing figures like Glenn Beck and Matt Walsh are facing backlash for their anti-gaming rhetoric, which reflects a broader cultural conflict over masculinity and leisure, potentially alienating gamers from conservative alliances. 00:00 Glenn Beck and right-wing figures like Matt Walsh are facing backlash for their criticism of gamers and nerd culture amid rising conservatism. 02:15 Glenn Beck sparks controversy by banning his daughters from dating gamers and action figure collectors, claiming these interests harm masculinity. 03:55 Right-wing pundit Matt Walsh disparages gamers, equating their gaming habits to women’s TikTok addiction, while warning of a conspiracy to immerse society in a virtual reality. 05:28 Right-wing pundits like Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro face backlash for their anti-gaming stance, reflecting a broader cultural conflict over masculinity and leisure. 07:26 Right-wing pundits are scapegoating gamers for societal issues, threatening the alliance between gamers and conservatives. 09:54 A right-wing pundit criticizes gamers and action figures, while the speaker reflects on their vintage toy collection. 11:52 The speaker critiques Glenn Beck’s dismissal of gaming as childish while pondering the future of gaming for older generations and the fleeting nature of temporary alliances. 13:43 Right-wing pundits may initially court disenfranchised gamers and anime fans for views but will ultimately betray them, reflecting a cultural backlash that leaves these communities feeling isolated. Glenn Beck banned his 18-year-old daughter from dating gamers, calling gaming and collecting figurines "weakening hobbies" that aren’t "manly enough" and equating them with being "immature." Beck accused "leftists" of scapegoating guns for school shootings, arguing that "video games" should be targeted by federal regulators instead. Beck declared that women who date gamers are "ignoring nature’s role for men," urging right-wing dads to ensure their daughters don’t date men who game or collect figurines to maintain "traditional gender roles." Beck’s anti-gaming views are part of a larger trend of "right-wing pundits" attacking pop culture, potentially leading to a "satanic panic"-like backlash against gamers and nerds. Beck’s criticism of gaming is based on "conspiracy theories" about "Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley elites" plotting a "Ready Player One"-style simulation. Former "GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy" and "Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick" echoed Beck’s views, proposing to ban violent video games for teenagers after the "Dayton, Ohio shooting." 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Venom: The Last Dance is only expected to pull in around $50-55 million when the projections were calling for $70-75 million. Also, the same sources think Wicked will do a billion at the box office. Superhero movies are experiencing fatigue, with younger viewers losing interest and the genre becoming over-saturated, leading to a decline in popularity and profitability. Studios may need to reassess strategies and revisit forgotten genres like mid-level action movies, comedies, and thrillers to combat superhero fatigue. The high production costs and need for huge box office numbers make superhero films less appealing to studios compared to budget-friendly indie films. Controversy surrounding lead actresses in the Wicked adaptation, including a fan-made poster costing an actress millions, has damaged the film’s reputation. Wicked is expected to face stiff competition from Moana 2, potentially reducing its box office earnings and making it difficult to reach the projected $1 billion mark. The success of Deadpool 3 and Wolverine was a one-off due to fan demand, but doesn’t reflect the overall decline in superhero genre popularity.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com LA Times and Washington Post refused to endorse Kamala Harris, causing journalists to quit in protest. Mark Hamill, Star Wars actor, accused of cult-like behavior for encouraging people to cut ties with family members over political differences. Bezos, a tax avoider, would lose money if Harris makes unrealized stock gains taxable, potentially hurting retirees relying on the stock market.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com The media falsely accused fans of racism and bigotry for disliking "The Acolyte," when the show’s low viewership and high cost were the real reasons for its failure. "The Acolyte" was review-bombed due to its poor quality, but media outlets misrepresented this as racist attacks, causing further backlash against the show. The media’s toxic behavior towards "The Acolyte" fans, including labeling them as racists and trolls, is the actual source of bigotry and toxicity in this situation. "The Acolyte" was canceled due to low viewership and high production costs, yet media blamed fans for the show’s failure instead of acknowledging these factors. The media and cast of "The Acolyte" constantly attacked fans who criticized the show, while "Agatha All Along" received no such backlash despite similar diverse casts and LGBTQ themes. The stark contrast in media treatment between "The Acolyte" (negative, accusatory) and "Agatha All Along" (positive, 81% audience score) exposes inconsistencies in media narratives about fan reception. "Agatha All Along" succeeds due to its strong storytelling and positive audience reception, while "The Acolyte" struggles with negative backlash and poor viewership, highlighting the impact of external narratives and creator behavior on audience perceptions. 00:00 Agatha All Along is praised for its female narrative, while The Acolyte is criticized for toxic fan reactions and unfairly labels critics as bigots, despite negative responses stemming from the creators. 03:06 Quality, not theme, drives audience reception, as "Agatha All Along" outshines "The Acolyte" in cast dynamics and public perception. 04:37 Agatha All Along’s success contrasts with The Acolyte’s struggles, showing how external narratives and celebrity strategies shape audience perceptions and reception. 06:25 Media backlash against "The Acolyte" dismisses valid criticism, while its decline is linked to poor viewership and costs, unlike the successful and cheaper "Agatha All Along." 08:05 Actors cope with cancellations while "Agatha All Along" features LGBTQ+ themes that are present but not central, unlike "Heartstopper." 10:47 Agatha All Along outshines The Acolyte by prioritizing storytelling over identity politics, benefiting from better management and audience reception. 12:38 Engaging negatively with audiences harms show reception, as seen in the contrasting responses to "Agatha" and "The Acolyte," highlighting that backlash against diversity often stems from media behavior rather than audience sentiment. 15:01 Join clownfishminus.com for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Lin-Manuel Miranda’s gender-swapped remake of "The Warriors" inspired by Gamergate is a controversial interpretation of the 2014 incident, potentially misrepresenting the complex issues involved. Claiming Gamergate was primarily about misogyny and online harassment is a simplistic view that ignores legitimate concerns about ethics in game journalism. The desexualization of Lara Croft in recent "Tomb Raider" adaptations has sparked debate about the representation of female characters in gaming and media. The decline of Tomb Raider’s popularity in the 1990s may be linked to the franchise’s reliance on sex appeal, suggesting a shift in gaming audience preferences. The backlash against women in gaming following Gamergate led to both hypersexualization and defeminization of female characters, indicating a complex and polarized response. Some women’s preference for strong, sexy female characters conflicts with the trend towards more family-friendly representations, highlighting diverse opinions within the female gaming community.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk revealed shockingly high prices, including a $23 egg sandwich, $26 cake slice, and $32 burger with fries, sparking online outrage before even opening. Despite being a non-Disney owned location, Cake Bake Shop’s prices are even more extreme than Disney’s already high food costs, likely due to licensing fees and upcharging to offset expenses. The restaurant’s initial menu caused widespread shock among Disney fans and locals when construction walls came down, revealing extreme price points for basic items. After backlash, Cake Bake Shop adjusted some prices, such as reducing $26 eggs benedict to $20 and $42 crab cake benedict to $27, but many items remain controversially expensive. Even after price adjustments, items like the $27 classic burger and $25.99 blueberry avocado salad are still considered too expensive for many visitors, especially without character interactions or specialty offerings. The restaurant’s children’s menu saw some of the most significant reductions, with $18 butter noodles dropping to $14 and $18 peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich to $13, yet prices remain high for basic items.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com James Gorman’s appointment as Disney chairman in 2024 and his role in the succession planning committee for a new CEO raises concerns about potential backroom deals and control by Iger, who has a history of maintaining influence through others. Gorman’s purchase of 20,000 Disney shares at $106.3 each in May 2022, after the stock plummeted, but not during the 2022 proxy battle, raises questions about his timing and potential conflict of interest as a board member. Disney’s board shakeups, Gorman’s appointment, and the company’s stock performance suggest potential boardroom power struggles and conflicts of interest, which could impact Disney’s future direction and success. Gorman’s friendship with Iger and his brief tenure as a board member lead to concerns about his ability to make impartial decisions as chairman, despite Iger’s praise for his expertise and guidance. Disney’s stock price dropped $30-40 from its high of $120 in 2022 to around $90 in May 2022, largely due to Peloton CEO Robert Pelton selling shares, despite Gorman’s purchase at the lower price. Mark Parker, Disney’s Chairman of the Board from Nike, unexpectedly stepped down effective end of 2023, while Gorman, appointed to the board last year to help defend against activist investors, will become chairman in 2024. Disney is undergoing significant leadership changes, with James Gorman stepping in as chairman to oversee succession planning for a new CEO, amidst challenges such as stock declines and criticism of the company’s management. 00:00 Disney’s board is experiencing significant changes with Mark Parker stepping down and James Gorman, the former Morgan Stanley CEO, taking over as chairman amidst a wave of recent departures. 01:15 Disney strengthens its board with new members, including James Gorman, who will lead the succession for Bob Iger’s replacement and become chairman next year. 03:03 Disney’s new CEO needs independence from Iger, whose tenure is extended to 2026 while Gorman will chair the succession planning. 04:55 James Gorman highlights the challenges Disney faces, including leadership changes and a significant drop in stock value, while expressing pride in the company’s renewed strength. 06:13 Gorman bought 20,000 shares of Disney stock after a price drop, showing confidence in the company despite initial setbacks. 08:19 Disney’s leadership faces criticism for poor succession planning, high prices, and ineffective board members as the company struggles financially. 09:29 Disney faces challenges with rising prices, leadership changes, and stock declines despite improved film performance this year. 10:49 Join clownfishminus.com for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Wizards of the Coast is reportedly requiring potential members of the new Magic: The Gathering Commander rules committee to agree to a surviving non-disparagement clause in perpetuity, preventing them from ever criticizing the company or game, even after contract termination. The non-disparagement clause is part of a vendor contract for the commander panel, limiting what vendors can say about Wizards of the Coast forever, according to a tweet by Gavin Dugan, founder of the previous Commander fan rules committee. Wizards of the Coast is taking over the fan-run Commander format, previously managed by a five-member all-volunteer committee, after alleged threats against volunteers. The controversy surrounding Wizards of the Coast’s actions in the Magic: The Gathering community is reminiscent of Hasbro’s history of letting fans build events and then taking them over, according to a Polygon article by Charlie Hall. Wizards of the Coast’s actions are perceived as part of a culture of fear and intimidation at the company, despite its progressive image, according to the Polygon article. Wizards of the Coast stated it will not tolerate threats to community members or employees and will take action against individuals who harm them. Wizards of the Coast is facing significant backlash from fans for its increasing control over the Commander format of Magic: The Gathering, including the imposition of non-disparagement clauses and a lack of transparency, which many view as an attempt to manipulate and intimidate the community. 00:00 Neon Hola joins the video despite sounding terrible, humorously comparing his voice issues to going through puberty again. 00:35 Wizards of the Coast is allegedly using non-disparagement clauses to intimidate fans and manipulate a situation involving a banned card. 02:40 Wizards of the Coast is controversially taking control of the Commander format and facing backlash for monopolizing fan conventions. 04:07 Wizards of the Coast is now managing the Commander format after the resignation of the rules committee due to threats, facing backlash for card bans and lack of transparency. 06:58 Wizards of the Coast appears to be trying to take control of a fan-created play style that grew organically, despite having initially ignored it until 2011. 08:20 Wizards of the Coast is facing backlash for imposing a lifetime non-disparagement clause on new Commander rules committee members, raising concerns over fan control and their increasing dominance over the format. 11:05 Wizards of the Coast is restricting fan freedom and imposing control over Magic the Gathering, including a non-disparagement clause for the Commander panel, causing frustration among fans. 14:22 Hasbro’s profit-driven control of Magic: The Gathering is alienating fans and sparking calls for better community engagement.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Creator-driven YouTube shows are disrupting decades of TV industry knowhow, making it easier for independent creators to produce content that can’t be replicated at the studio level. Nickelodeon’s viewership plummeted 86% and Disney Channel fell 90% from 2016 to 2023, while YouTube accounted for 10.4% of TV viewing in July 2023. The average age of a cable TV viewer has increased from 44.4 in 2014 to 60 years old in 2023, forcing entertainment companies to redefine their audience. Coco Melon, started by a husband-and-wife duo telling stories to their kids, sold for billions to Candle Media, showcasing the potential of user-generated content. The animation industry is facing a crisis with popular shows being cancelled despite having audiences, as studios struggle to adapt to children’s changing viewing habits. YouTube delivers 2.3x greater ad recall compared to broadcast TV and 2.6x greater than video on demand, making it more attractive for advertisers. Households with children 8 and under are 8% less likely to cancel streaming subscriptions, making kids’ content crucial for reducing streaming churn. Disney is investing heavily in Fortnite and attempting to break into YouTube and TikTok to capture younger audiences. As TV becomes more expensive, families are switching to YouTube for affordability, disrupting traditional entertainment models. Studios are now trying to secure deals with independent creators to bring them to their networks and boost platform subscriptions. Paramount+ and Disney+ are leaning into streamers under the same corporate roof to compete with YouTube’s dominance in children’s content. The current state of flux in the animation industry suggests it may not be the best time to break into animation unless doing it independently.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Some publications think that influencer culture is ruining Disney theme parks. Disney influencers commandeer character interactions for selfish gain, wasting time and blocking spaces for personal benefit, ruining experiences for other guests. Influencers display extreme entitlement and arrogance, expecting special treatment and disrespecting cast members despite their large social media followings. Cast members face disrespectful behavior from influencers, including demands to delete photos and threats to involve security if they don’t comply. Influencers hog entire Main Street for photos, block doorways for hours, and obstruct attractions, causing frustration and disruption for other park visitors. Disney’s strategy of using influencers in controlled environments for movie promotion differs from the uncontrolled chaos they create in the parks. The influencer community’s tendency to make everything about themselves and their personal opinions leads to poor treatment of cast members and a sense of entitlement based on follower count.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Gina Carano’s firing from Disney was allegedly due to sex discrimination, as male co-stars like Mark Ruffalo and Pedro Pascal posted controversial content without consequence. Carano’s legal case against Disney, backed by Elon Musk, seeks damages and an injunction to return to her role, with a trial set for 2023. Carano’s Holocaust comparison was misinterpreted; she meant political polarization leads to hate, not that conservatives were being targeted like Jews. Disney’s decision to fire Carano was deemed hypocritical and lacking in sound management by critics, who argue her views were conservative but not inherently offensive. Carano’s legal team is confident despite Disney’s good lawyers, who typically draw out lawsuits to make them expensive, as Carano refuses to accept a settlement. Carano’s alleged transphobic comments were actually about harassment of those who don’t use pronouns in their bio, as she stands against bullying of vulnerable groups. Gina Carano’s lawsuit against Disney highlights issues of polarization, perceived double standards in Hollywood, and the controversy surrounding her firing due to her conservative views, potentially opening the door for her return to the Mandalorian. 00:00 Gina Carano’s lawsuit against Disney is gaining traction, potentially paving the way for her return to the Mandalorian amid ongoing discussions about the canceled Star Wars series "The Acolyte." 02:23 Gina Carano faced backlash for anti-trans comments and her refusal to use pronouns, asserting her stance against bullying while supporting others’ choices. 04:27 Gina Carano highlights the dangers of polarization in society, comparing it to historical persecution, and criticizes media for fueling division without mentioning conservatives. 05:40 Gina Carano claims her firing from Disney was unjust and highlights Hollywood’s double standards, where male actors with similar views face no repercussions. 08:02 Gina Carano’s court case against Disney moves forward, allowing her to seek damages and reinstatement despite slim chances of returning amid controversy over her statements. 09:35 Gina Carano is poised for a significant payday after her departure from Disney, as her moderate opinions led to her firing while highlighting the inconsistencies in how extreme views are treated. 10:48 Gina Carano’s firing ignited controversy over the silencing of conservative views and the dangers of political unpersoning. 12:18 Let go of negativity and check out clownfishminus.com for exclusive content and community perks.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Universal’s Epic Universe theme park opening on Memorial Day Weekend 2025 could be a "Disney World Killer", potentially causing a short-term attendance dip for Disney World and increasing competition in the Orlando theme park market. Universal’s affordable hotels, including the upcoming Helios, offer moderate-level suites at cheaper prices than Disney’s resorts, potentially drawing visitors away from Disney’s more expensive accommodations. Universal’s multi-day pass system requiring visitors to choose a specific day for Epic Universe may lead to overcrowding and long wait times, especially for popular attractions like Super Mario Bros. and Wizarding World. Disney’s lack of major new attractions and retheming of existing areas like Tropical America and Cars may result in flat attendance growth, making them vulnerable to Universal’s expansion. Universal’s use of original movie actors in attractions like Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic could provide a more immersive experience, potentially outshining Disney’s character interactions. The combined visit of both Universal and Disney parks could attract more visitors and increase overall attendance numbers for both parks in the long run, despite initial competition. Universal’s Epic Universe, set to open in 2025 with innovative attractions and better value accommodations, poses a significant challenge to Disney World, which is facing criticism over high costs and a lack of new offerings. 00:00 Universal’s Epic Universe could rival Disney World, as Disney faces backlash over high costs that may harm its future. 01:38 Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe will open on May 22, 2025, featuring attractions like Super Nintendo World, a Harry Potter Ministry of Magic experience, and How to Train Your Dragon. 02:41 Universal Orlando’s new dark-themed attractions could outshine Disney’s lack of innovation, potentially making it more popular. 05:00 Universal’s hotels offer better value and lower prices compared to Disney World, with new options like the Helios hotel providing affordable rates for guests. 06:25 Staying at Universal hotels is more affordable and enjoyable than Disney, making it a better option for visitors with a car. 07:15 Epic Universe requires multi-day tickets for access, limiting visits and potentially frustrating guests. 08:18 Epic Universe may draw crowds to Orlando, benefiting Disney World with improved wait times, but will likely require multiple visits for a full experience. 10:02 Disney needs to step up its game quickly or risk falling behind as fans grow impatient for new attractions and content.

Disney, co-funder of Doctor Who, reportedly has the final say on the show’s continuation. Dissatisfied with current ratings, Disney is looking to cut underperforming content. Doctor Who’s current ratings are the lowest overnight ratings to date, dipping to 2.2 million viewers, with 7-day catch-up figures also hitting a series low. BBC is attempting to spin low ratings by emphasizing the show’s popularity among viewers under 30 and highlighting 28-day catch-up and 6-month total figures. BBC’s decision on Doctor Who season 3 will be made after season 2 transmits, as they await performance results, according to BBC and Russell T Davies. Critics accuse BBC of making excuses for low ratings, citing the Timeless Children episode as problematic and claiming they are doubling down on stupidity. Ncuti Gatwa’s comments about a potential third season of Doctor Who have sparked controversy and confusion, particularly due to the BBC’s retraction of support amid concerns over declining ratings and the show’s future direction. 00:00 Ncuti Gatwa’s comments about Doctor Who’s season 3 sparked controversy as the BBC retracted their support amid concerns over poor ratings. 00:53 Ncuti Gatwa hinted at a third season of Doctor Who during a talk show, but concerns arise over Disney’s financial involvement and the show’s political direction. 02:05 Russell T Davies hinted at a third season of Doctor Who on The Graham Norton Show, but the BBC later edited his comments, creating confusion about the show’s future. 03:18 Ncuti Gatwa’s comments about a potential third season of Doctor Who were edited by the BBC, leading to confusion over the authenticity of his statements. 04:23 Ncuti Gatwa’s announcement about a third season of Doctor Who was downplayed by the BBC, which stated that decisions will be made after the second season airs, likely influenced by its performance. 06:01 BBC acknowledges Doctor Who’s series 14 has suffered record low ratings, prompting questionable justifications for the decline. 07:08 Ncuti Gatwa’s remarks on a third series were minimized by the BBC amid declining Doctor Who viewership, fueling fan skepticism about the show’s direction. 08:46 Join clownfishminus.com for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement!

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Bandai Namco, a AAA gaming company, is reportedly using "expulsion rooms" to pressure employees to quit voluntarily, a traditional Japanese approach under strict labor protection laws. The company is canceling titles featuring popular anime characters like Naruto and One Piece, and a Nintendo-commissioned project, amid gaming industry downtime. Bandai Namco’s goal is to make employees’ jobs unattractive and give them impossible tasks, as legally they can’t state that’s their intention. The video game industry is imploding post-pandemic, with gamers sick of titles from AAA studios, and not buying Bandai Namco’s games specifically. Bandai Namco’s leadership failed to make money, with the company writing off $141 million from December to summer. Employees in "expulsion rooms" are typically given no work-related tasks but left with knowledge of their performance to give managers ammunition to cut severance when they leave.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Ubisoft’s return-to-office mandate for 3 days/week worldwide, breaking promises of flexibility, led to a 3-day strike by 500+ staff in France, questioning the company’s organizational approach. Ubisoft’s 19,000-strong workforce is unsustainable for producing unfinished games at ridiculous price points, nearly matching Microsoft’s size but unable to cut staff like other major publishers. Star Wars Outlaws failed due to bugs, problems, and misogynistic backlash, damaging Ubisoft’s brand and reputation while the "taint of DEI" surrounding the game’s release further hurt sales. Ubisoft’s 40%+ stock drop since January, reaching its lowest point in 10 years, is attributed to poor sales and delayed releases of major titles like Assassin’s Creed. The Assassin’s Creed franchise is struggling, with its release pushed from November 2022 to September 2025, potentially altering the historically accurate Japanese setting to avoid catastrophic failure.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Agatha All Along was done on the cheap with practical effects, and it sounds like Disney will cheap out on Marvel content going forward. Disney is slashing Marvel budgets, focusing on practical effects for shows like "Agatha All Along" and "Daredevil Born Again" to produce content at a "responsible cost". Recent Marvel movies like "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "The Marvels" have seen ballooning budgets, with some projects losing over $300 million due to underestimating production time and effort. Overreliance on CGI has led to overworked VFX artists, resulting in unionization and a decline in quality in recent Marvel productions. The shift to practical effects gives Marvel more creative freedom within reasonable budgets, as seen in "Agatha All Along," which primarily uses practical effects. Upcoming Marvel projects like "Captain America: New World Order" are being developed as cheaper espionage thrillers using practical effects and stunts, similar to the Netflix "Daredevil" series. Marvel’s bloated, cartoonish CGI in recent movies like "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Avengers" franchises, especially in space dramas, has been criticized for not feeling grounded in reality.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com It’s being rumored that Sony might bring back the video game Concord as a free-to-play (F2P) game, as files are still being updated on Steam. Sony’s $400 million first-person hero shooter "Concord" was pulled from stores within two weeks of launch due to low sales, with refunds issued to all purchasers. The game’s monumental budget is driving efforts to salvage it, with rumors of a rework and potential free-to-play relaunch as the only viable option for redemption. Industry professionals suggest rebranding and renaming the game to distance it from negative associations, potentially with a catchy title like "Sexy with Guns" to appeal to a wider audience. Original character designs were reportedly superior to final versions, which were altered to make characters "uglier and overweight" due to consultant input, according to a Colum Morror podcast. Significant engine renovation and gameplay rework would be necessary to make the game playable, as its current state is described as "unplayable" and "broken" by the video’s host. Despite potential revival efforts, some industry voices claim the game is "completely dead in the water" with no chance of redemption, highlighting the challenge of resurrecting failed game launches. ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com ➡️ Audio Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/ClownfishTV ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Sony is attempting to revive its failed $400 million hero shooter, Concord, as a free-to-play game in response to initial criticism and to better compete in a crowded gaming market. 00:00 Sony’s failed $400 million hero shooter, Concord, may be revived as a free-to-play game after its quick demise. 01:24 Sony plans to revive Concord as a free-to-play game after a costly $400 million investment, amid criticism of its character designs. 02:23 Concord may be making a comeback with updates and a potential free-to-play model, following its initial failure and removal from the store. 03:40 Sony’s significant investment in Concord suggests they are unlikely to abandon it despite skepticism about its potential for success. 04:34 Sony is reportedly investing heavily to revive the Concord game, potentially rebranding it with a more appealing concept like "sexy with guns" to attract players. 05:46 Sony’s struggling game may go free-to-play as it failed to attract players with its clichéd characters and full-price launch. 06:52 Sony must ensure their new hero shooter stands out in a crowded market dominated by popular games like Fortnite and Overwatch. 07:50 Sony is poised to capitalize on the revival of the Concord, promising exciting developments in pop culture.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Game Freak suffered a major hack, leaking code names for 10th Generation Pokémon games and the Nintendo Switch 2 console ("Ounce"), as reported by Nintendo Life. The leak exposed personal data of 2600 current and former Game Freak employees, including names, email addresses, and phone numbers, according to a Japanese statement dated October 10, 2024.

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com A Twitter/X user targeted a Japanese manga artist over some Splatoon fan art that they deemed too light-skinned. Now the entire internet -- much of it Japanese -- is destroying them on social media. Japanese artists are facing harassment on Twitter from Western critics who disagree with their creative choices, particularly regarding skin tones in artwork, leading to self-censorship and unwarranted apologies. The Tumblr art community, still active in 2024, continues to criticize cartoon skin tones, with users often labeled as "Tumblr wres" for their persistent complaints about representation. A Splatoon fan artist faced backlash for depicting the character Nutmeg Knight with lighter skin, resulting in demands to redraw the character progressively whiter with each comment. Japanese culture’s emphasis on politeness leads artists to apologize for perceived cultural insensitivity, even when the majority of Japanese people don’t share the critics’ views. The Twitter community is divided on the issue of skin tones in cartoons, with some advocating for diverse representation while others argue it’s not their responsibility.
