You can’t make this up. Wicked gets a trigger warning over racism against green-skinned people in the UK. And also being mean to talking animals, or something. The BBFC’s trigger warning for "Wicked" due to racism against a green-skinned character has sparked massive overreaction and claims of "wokeness gone wrong". Some argue that trigger warnings are excessive and stifle creativity, while others view them as necessary for protecting vulnerable viewers. The controversy raises questions about whether the green-skinned character’s treatment is a metaphor for racial discrimination or a misinterpretation of the story’s themes. The debate highlights the challenges in balancing representation, sensitivity, and safety in entertainment, particularly regarding marginalized groups and sensitive topics. The situation questions the responsibility of film classification bodies like the BBFC in rating content and providing trigger warnings to protect audiences from potentially offending material. 🐠 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.

Moana 2 made a LOT of money for Disney, but the reviews are very middling. However, this might set a precedent for Disney and other studios -- you CAN make big money outsourcing your animation outside of LA (this movie was made in Canada.) That might not bode well for the LA animation scene as the Guild is still in contract negotiations with AMPTP. Speaking of which, the tentative agreement isn’t sitting well with a lot of animators because the studios aren’t saying they WON’T use AI... they’ll just tell you about it first. Hmm. The box office success of Moana 2 raises significant concerns for the LA animation industry, including the potential for increased reliance on AI, job outsourcing, and a shift towards profitability at the expense of creativity and originality. 00:00 Moana 2’s box office success may negatively impact the LA animation industry due to concerns over a new contract that allows extensive use of AI. 00:53 Moana 2’s strong box office success, projected to exceed Frozen 2, raises concerns about the animation industry’s shift towards profitability over creativity due to its rushed production. 04:47 Moana 2’s box office success could lead to market oversaturation and reflects a shift towards action-driven content over the heart and originality of the first film. 07:38 Moana 2, while visually impressive and commercially successful, suffers from a weak story and music, raising concerns for the LA animation industry. 10:59 Moana 2’s initial box office success may harm the LA animation industry by promoting outsourcing and reducing local investment, despite criticism of its plot and characters. 15:25 Recent box office success for Moana 2 highlights ongoing challenges in the LA animation industry, including AI threats, job security concerns, and the potential for increased overseas production. 19:36 If "Moana 2" succeeds, it could accelerate job outsourcing and AI reliance in LA’s animation industry, resulting in fewer lower-level jobs and increased responsibilities for creative leaders. 22:21 The animation industry is struggling with layoffs, outsourcing, and AI, while indie studios thrive, highlighting a divide in job security as contract negotiations loom. 🐠 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.

Half the team of 200-300 developers working on Assassin’s Creed Shadows have never made a video game before, potentially jeopardizing the quality of this $200-300 million flagship franchise. Ubisoft’s diversity and inclusivity push may have led to hiring inexperienced staff, with the team being 50% new despite the massive scope of the game. Ubisoft’s stock and sales are dropping, and the company is up for sale, while its recent releases like Star Wars Outlaws have seen poor reception and low player counts. The February 2025 release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be unrealistic, as the game is still in polishing stages and a high-ranking dev claims it’s "not good yet". Despite being one of the biggest entries in the series with dual protagonists and thousands of developers, Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ quality may be hindered by the team’s inexperience. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows is facing significant quality concerns and skepticism about its February release due to a largely inexperienced development team and ongoing struggles in its production. 00:00 Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows faces significant issues, with doubts about its February release amid ongoing development struggles. 00:47 Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows faces quality concerns due to half the team being inexperienced and its generic Asian architecture. 02:17 Leaked footage of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is disappointing, sparking worries about its quality and the inexperienced team, potentially leading to funding needs or cancellation. 03:56 Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows faces quality concerns as half the development team and inexperienced writers, including an intern, lack prior game-making experience. 05:21 Ubisoft faces skepticism over the new Assassin’s Creed game due to a largely inexperienced development team amid declining sales and stock. 06:54 Ubisoft’s reliance on inexperienced developers raises concerns about the quality and direction of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. 08:04 Half the team on Assassin’s Creed Shadows is inexperienced, leading to quality issues, but there’s hope for improvement despite challenges. 09:36 Ubisoft’s new Assassin’s Creed game faces skepticism due to inexperienced developers and a tarnished brand reputation, making its success uncertain despite potential quality. 🐠 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.

Meta’s Threads is rapidly growing in user numbers and features, surpassing Bluesky, but both platforms face significant challenges related to user engagement, accountability, and data privacy. 00:00 Threads is outpacing Blue Sky in user growth while promoting free speech amid government censorship pressures on Facebook. 01:29 Meta’s Threads is overshadowing Bluesky, raising concerns about accountability in social media regulation. 02:37 Threads outpaces Bluesky with 100 million signups, but struggles with user engagement compared to its rapid growth. 04:05 Threads is outpacing Bluesky with 275 million users, while celebrities face backlash for their views on the platform. 06:14 Threads is quickly adding features to overshadow Blue Sky, which is hindered by verification and bot management issues. 07:51 Threads is facing challenges similar to Twitter, with a surge in impersonators and a complicated verification process that deters users. 09:06 Blue Sky is under fire for allowing public posts to be scraped for AI training, raising user consent concerns reminiscent of Twitter’s data access controversies. 10:58 Bluesky struggles to compete with major platforms and is unlikely to survive due to user retention issues, despite misguided efforts to replicate early Twitter. 🐠 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.

Disney’s updates to the Haunted Mansion feature underwhelming and cheap decor, lacking the quality and charm expected from the theme park, leaving visitors disappointed. 00:00 Disney’s Haunted Mansion update features underwhelming garden decor that feels cheap and lacks the quality expected from the theme park. 00:50 Disneyland’s new extended queue features gardens and a forthcoming Madam Leota store, but the overall additions feel lackluster. 01:58 The new Haunted Mansion addition features a lackluster garden design that feels cheap and uninspired, resembling a haphazard collection of Home Depot decor. 03:16 Disney’s Haunted Mansion addition features cheap, repurposed decorations and lacks any real magical elements, making it feel uninspired. 04:20 Disney’s Haunted Mansion queue features cheap, lackluster interactive elements despite a massive budget, leaving visitors disappointed. 05:37 The new Haunted Mansion addition resembles a cheap gift shop filled with eclectic antiques and artifacts, lacking the depth and charm of the original attraction. 06:23 Disney’s Haunted Mansion updates include paid Lightning Lane and improved accessibility, but the changes feel lackluster. 07:48 Disney’s new Haunted Mansion addition disappoints with cheap decorations and poor theming compared to other attractions. Disney is accused of cheapening the Haunted Mansion experience by installing low-cost, hardware store glass balls as "fortune telling orbs" in the Disneyland queue, contrasting sharply with the more interactive and elaborate features at Walt Disney World. Despite Disney reportedly spending $60 billion every 10 years on theme parks, the new Disneyland Haunted Mansion queue additions are criticized as looking cheap and underwhelming. The "Master Gracie" inspired gardens at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion queue feature non-interactive elements, including a static book in a gazebo, unlike the touch-and-play instruments at Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World’s Haunted Mansion queue boasts superior features like interactive statues, a water-shooting captain’s tomb, and a pet cemetery, while Disneyland’s additions are seen as lackluster in comparison. The "seam maiden statue" with unruly hair and startled eyes in Disneyland’s queue is presented as a peculiar and potentially off-putting addition to the Haunted Mansion experience. 🐠 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.

Jason Tandro, senior designer of D&D, dehumanizes old school players as "Grognards" after Elon Musk told WotC to "burn in hell" for trying to distance itself from Gary Gygax. D&D’s current leadership considers old school players "not worth listening to," prioritizing a "modern audience" and "enlightened" players over the game’s original creators and fans. Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have allegedly mistreated creators like Ed Greenwood and Margaret Weis, denying proper credit and residuals for their work on Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance. Gen Con has been accused of downplaying Gary Gygax’s legacy, reflecting a broader trend in tabletop gaming to distance from its roots. The D&D team anticipated backlash from "progressives" and "underrepresented groups" over original game language, but failed to foresee criticism from longtime fans. 🐠 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.

Dozens of financial advisors managing over $16 billion in assets have issued an open letter urging corporations to abandon Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. They argue that DEI programs create division rather than fostering true inclusivity and warn that recent Supreme Court decisions and lawsuits have made DEI policies a legal and financial liability. Citing examples like the University of Michigan’s failure to achieve inclusivity despite a $46 million investment, the letter calls for companies to realign with shareholder and consumer values. The advisors also predict that the incoming Trump administration, alongside Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, will accelerate the rollback of DEI policies through legislation and executive actions. They highlight the moral and practical risks of corporate adoption of DEI, urging businesses to prioritize merit-based practices, free speech, and transparency to protect investments and foster trust. This bold critique signals a growing pushback against DEI in corporate America. 🐠 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 mainstream media’s collapse is evidenced by MSNBC’s parent company’s decision to spin off cable networks into a new entity called "spinco".

MSNBC’s secret meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2020 was perceived as a betrayal by their liberal viewers who had been warned about his threats to the nation.

Jaguar’s latest ad campaign is criticized for prioritizing fashion and artistic flair over effectively promoting its cars, alienating its luxury audience and drawing comparisons to other marketing missteps. Jaguar’s new ad campaign featuring androgynous models is described as "confusing", "ugly", and "tasteless", failing to sell luxury cars to the target audience. The campaign’s focus on "exuberant modernism" and artistic vision is criticized as "overly focused on branding" rather than showcasing the actual product. Hosts question the target audience for Jaguar’s ads, as the body diverse and racially diverse models don’t align with the expensive, high-end nature of the cars. Jaguar’s decision to discontinue five unprofitable models and develop three new ultraluxury electric vehicles is seen as a "declaration of intent" to focus on high-end cars, despite the "misguided" ad campaign.

NewsGuard, a for-profit company rating news outlets’ credibility, is accused of being part of a broader censorship cartel, using its ratings and advertising partnerships to censor targeted outlets. The FCC plans to take broad actions to restore First Amendment rights, potentially fining companies or bringing them before Congress for shadowbanning or other forms of censorship.

YouTube allegedly shadowbanned conservative channels before the 2020 election, including a 500K+ subscriber channel, with traffic restored post-election, suggesting audience overlap as the reason. Websites faced pressure from advertising agencies in 2020-2021 to remove content deemed misinformation or wrong think about topics like guns, vaccines, and mask mandates, risking ad revenue loss if non-compliant. 00:00 New FCC chairman Brandan Carr could reshape tech regulations, as social media censorship impacts content creators, highlighting the need for diverse revenue sources. 03:12 Brendan Carr criticizes big tech censorship and government pressure, highlighting the impact of misinformation audits and content moderation on online discourse. 06:35 Big Tech CEOs are accused of contributing to censorship through fact-checking practices, with companies like Google and Facebook facing pressure to limit free speech and control information flow. 11:15 Google’s control over information and partnerships with censorship entities threaten free speech and democracy, necessitating a reclaiming of rights by Americans. 16:09 Internet censorship is harming content creators, especially conservatives, with significant drops in YouTube traffic linked to algorithm changes. 19:08 Internet censorship is prompting users to explore alternative platforms, raising concerns about bias and financial impacts on major sites like YouTube and Twitch. 22:08 Censorship by tech companies has sparked public backlash and heightened awareness against media control in America. 24:30 Join clownfishminus.com for exclusive content, merch 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.

CNN’s 61,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic on November 11 marks its smallest audience on a Tuesday since 2000, signaling a historic low for the network. Both CNN and MSNBC’s massive audience drop-off is attributed to lying to their audience and blindsiding viewers with anti-Trump rhetoric and pandemic rules. MSNBC’s viewership plummeted from 10 million in 2016 to just 6 million, highlighting the impact of their anti-conservative bias on audience retention.

The ADL accuses Steam of harboring extremism and hatred, claiming to have found millions of examples of extremist content including hate symbols and tens of thousands of terrorism-related items based on an analysis of 458 million user profiles. Pepe the Frog and swastikas make up 54.6% of detected symbols on Steam, according to the ADL’s report, which labels these as extremist symbols. The ADL criticizes Steam’s "permissive approach" to content policy, which only forbids harassment and disruptive behavior but not hate speech specifically. Steam’s ad hoc moderation is deemed largely ineffective by the ADL, with examples like removing Pepe the Frog due to a DMCA takedown rather than hate speech concerns. The ADL claims white supremacist mass murderers use ISIS and Hamas flags as avatar images on Steam, highlighting the platform’s alleged extremism problem. 🐠 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.

Disney’s recent financial successes, driven by strategic decisions and successful film releases, are overshadowed by leadership challenges and concerns about the company’s future direction under Bob Iger. 00:00 Disney’s Q4 2024 earnings showed a 6% revenue increase to $22.6 billion, driven by successful film releases, despite skepticism over Bob Iger’s comments on streaming. 02:23 Disney Parks hit record Q4 revenue, but rising prices and competition from Universal’s Epic Universe could hurt attendance and vacation choices. 04:33 Bob Iger is praised for Disney’s turnaround, especially in movie performance, despite ongoing challenges at Pixar regarding working conditions and management priorities. 07:07 Iger faces criticism for turning Disney into an IP farm, with recent successes credited to the creative team rather than his leadership. 09:01 Bob Iger’s return to Disney has been marked by controversial decisions and mismanagement, particularly regarding the transformation of Moana 2 and ongoing corporate battles influenced by Nelson Peltz. 13:22 Bob Iger’s controversial decisions, including pricing changes and a failed legal battle, have led to significant challenges for Disney Parks this quarter, despite some praise for his overall leadership. 16:07 Iger’s leadership has transformed Disney parks with a focus on IP integration and higher costs, but the recent performance boost is seen as customer gouging, indicating a need for new CEO to tackle persistent challenges. 17:53 Concerns about Disney’s future arise from leadership changes, a potential focus on video games, and the need for a creative co-CEO alongside Bob Iger, whose stock sale suggests waning confidence in the company’s direction. Disney’s pricing strategy and treatment of disabled guests have been criticized, with the Lightning Lane system being used to upcharge disabled visitors instead of offering the DAS pass. Bob Iger’s return led to the elimination of the free park pass and introduction of expensive upcharge options like the $500 per person per day "Park Hopper" package. Iger took credit for Disney’s creative successes, but was responsible for staff cuts and gutting Pixar, while many creative decisions were made under Bob Chapek’s leadership. Iger’s personal interests in AI and Canva led to the creation of a new division, despite concerns about his lack of creativity and vision for the company’s future. ESPN+ will be consolidated under Disney+ in the future, similar to how Hulu was merged into Disney+. Iger’s return to Disney in 2022 was seen as a victory lap, with media praise despite taking credit for Chapek’s decisions. Bob Iger overspent on Fox, putting Disney in a perilous position, and made unpopular decisions like removing Rivers of America at Disneyland. Iger’s marching orders led to significant price increases and the elimination of free park passes, despite being gone for only two years. Iger prioritized his own ego, worrying about losing the best tables and kissing up to executives rather than focusing on Disney’s success. Iger’s lack of creative vision and tendency to micromanage led to Disney’s current state, despite his ability to negotiate deals. Disney’s Q4 2024 earnings showed a 30-39% increase in revenue to $22.6B, with net income doubling to $460M, marking one of their biggest quarterly upswings. 🐠 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.

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.

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 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. Disney’s Star Wars franchise is facing significant challenges and uncertainty, particularly regarding the future of Rey and the direction of Lucasfilm, due to past missteps and fan disillusionment. 00:00 Disney’s Star Wars plans, including the Rey movie, are uncertain amid Lucasfilm’s direction issues and controversy surrounding Gina Carano’s case. 01:34 Lucasfilm is in limbo over financial results and brand decline, raising questions about Kathleen Kennedy’s future. 03:03 Disney is shifting focus to new Rey movies amid skepticism about Star Wars’ future under Kathleen Kennedy’s leadership. 04:43 Disney and Lucasfilm are in conflict over recent Star Wars failures, prompting calls to revive the Skywalker Saga with a new trilogy. 06:15 Rey’s divisive character and the sequel trilogy’s poor storytelling have led to fan disappointment and a lack of interest in new merchandise. 08:37 Resetting the Star Wars franchise by de-canonizing the sequels is smarter than reviving Rey, especially after Mark Hamill’s impact on audience perception. 10:08 Disney’s mishandling of Star Wars has harmed the franchise, leading to a lack of interest in Rey-related merchandise. 12:08 Disney’s mishandling of Star Wars, including Rey’s true lineage as a Palpatine, has led to widespread fan disillusionment and a perceived death of the franchise. 🐠 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.

Ubisoft’s stock value has plummeted 75% over the past 5 years due to politics, consumer practices, incomplete games, and broken releases. Star Wars Outlaws’ new creative director Drew Reckner promises big changes after disappointing sales, focusing on revamping combat, stealth, and controls. 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. Ubisoft’s AAA titles, developed over years, are struggling due to politics and consumer practices, leading to a downward trajectory in the company’s value. 🐠 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 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.

Peanut the squirrel’s unnecessary euthanization during a raid linked to his owner’s OnlyFans account raises concerns about government overreach and the treatment of pets based on assumptions about their owners. 00:00 Peanut the squirrel’s death is tied to an investigation into his owner’s OnlyFans, sparking potential legal action and new laws. 02:13 The internet is increasingly dominated by a few corporations, threatening its openness and freedom. 03:00 Authorities raided a New York farm for a squirrel but were reportedly more interested in the owner’s OnlyFans activities and potential adult content. 04:28 Authorities euthanized Peanut the squirrel despite no evidence of rabies and no legal justification, sparking outrage over the unnecessary loss of the animal. 05:36 Peanut the Squirrel’s death sparks fears of government overreach and police violence against pets based on owner assumptions. 07:04 Peanut the squirrel’s owner claims his OnlyFans account is not linked to the authorities’ raid that led to Peanut’s euthanization. 08:33 Government overreach is highlighted as a man faces potential legal issues after authorities killed his pets during a raid without proper justification. 09:25 Uncertainty looms over upcoming events in the U.S., prompting a call for subscriptions and community engagement on clownfishminus.com. 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.

A fired Disney employee allegedly hacked the company’s menu system, potentially causing fatal consequences for customers with severe allergies by altering allergen information. The hacker replaced all fonts on menus with Wingdings symbols, rendering the database unusable and forcing Disney to take down the system for 1-2 weeks. A denial-of-service attack was launched on 14 high-ranking Disney employees, using a bot or script to attempt logins 100,000+ times. The FBI filed a criminal complaint alleging the ex-employee caused $150,000+ in damages between June 12th and September 23rd, 2024.

🐠 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. Japanese voice actors will be employed for both the original Japanese version and the AI dub, while English voice actors face potential replacement. The anime dubbing industry is expected to see a significant reduction in demand for English dub actors within the next 5-10 years due to AI implementation. The Japanese voice acting industry’s close association with character roles, similar to Nancy Cartwright’s connection to her characters, will be preserved through AI dubbing. This shift towards AI dubbing reflects Japan’s desire to avoid negative headlines and maintain greater control over international adaptations of their content. The implementation of AI in anime dubbing represents a significant technological shift in the industry, potentially reshaping voice acting careers and content localization processes. ➡️ 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/ Japan is increasingly adopting AI technology for English dubbing in anime, which poses a threat to human voice actors’ jobs while aiming for greater authenticity and control over translations. 00:00 Japan is using AI to dub anime in English with Japanese voice actors, risking English dub actors’ jobs while aiming for authenticity and content control. 02:14 The demand for English dub actors in Japan is expected to decline significantly in the next 5 to 10 years due to the rise of AI technology. 03:24 Japan is exploring AI for English voice acting due to frustrations with American voice actors and a focus on company control over translations. 05:36 Japan is using AI to create multilingual voices from original voice actors’ data, raising concerns about localization and translation accuracy. 07:00 Japan is testing AI for English voice acting to improve character control while safeguarding voice actors’ rights. 08:44 AI voice technology is being adopted in anime dubbing, raising concerns about replacing human voice actors amid ongoing industry drama. 10:42 Japan is considering replacing English dub voice actors with AI, raising concerns about quality and the potential loss of human talent in the industry. 11:56 AI is increasingly replacing English voice actors in Japan, urging them to appreciate their jobs while they last.

🐠 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. New content classification labels for political and sensitive issues may lead to censorship of certain content types due to Twitch’s advertising policies. The platform’s new labeling system aims to increase brand confidence and attract new advertisers, potentially prioritizing monetization over content diversity. 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 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.

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".
