Pop Topix's Weekly Wrap Up!

-


Welcome to another long not so awaited segment of Pop Topix's Weekly Wrap, where the more interesting topics of the week get coverage here.


"Bat in Blaaaacckk"


So, by now, many of you heard the news.  Ruby Rose is out and the beautiful Javicia Leslie is in, as the new Batwoman! In the 2nd season, of the polarizing CW series. Leslie who is Black and self-described Bisexual, will play a totally new character, Ryan Wilder, with her alter ego Batwoman.


What I cannot comprehend is, why did Showrunner Greg Berlanti choose to cast a new character who also happens to be of same sex orientation, instead of recasting for the part of Kate Kane. If you want a Black Woman as the new Batwoman, why not make her heterosexual?

It’s this type of Tokenized virtue signaling that is insulting toward many Black people. So far, CW has three Gay Black Superheroes and now a fourth? "Holy Emasculation Proclamation " Batman...er, Batwoman!

CW has more than enough well deserved prominent gay characters like Sara Lance, Constantine,  The Ray, Thunder and of course Batwoman,  who I thought was the standout in the animated film, Bad Blood but c'mon Greg, Black people are 12 percent of the population yet, according to your shows, they are seen as 60 percent LGBTQ?!? Political correctness be damned, stop making Blacks the face of the LBGTQ Superhero media!! *AHEM*

Well, if there is one takeaway, Jevicia is much prettier than Ruby Rose and I’m sure a much better actress.

The Boys are back in town!

Its official, the 2nd Season of Amazon Prime's ensemble Superhero series, The Boys will return sometime in September! In the meantime, here is the trailer!

Umbrella Academy is also coming soon!

And not to be outdone by The Boys, Umbrella Academy brings it, with their 2nd Season trailer. 
The series will return on July 31st.


Chris Hemsworth gets pumped for his new role. (And its not what you think!)



After Marvel's Thor, it seems that actor Chris Hemsworth will play another Superhero...Hulk, as in "The Incredible Hulk Hogan"?!? Yes, Hemsworth will star in the biopic of the now infamous and maligned Wrestler. I wonder if this will be sanitized for his fans and/or Terry Hogan's image.  Will there be a scene of him screwing his friend's Wife? And how about that time he often referred to blacks as "Niggers"? Yeah, the same "Niggers" that were fans of his and put money in his pocket.

Either way, I won’t be watching this. Besides, I don’t care for Wrestling especially when I think it's fake.



And that's a wrap!  Like Batwoman, wear a mask and keep yo hands clean!!

Have a great weekend!

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

-

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice: Freefall (Review and retrospective of the series finale.)

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
