Darker, grittier reboots are getting kinda silly

Just saw word that The CW is doing a pilot called "Riverdale" which is said to be, and I quote, "a darker take on the Archie comics".

Yeah...Can't wait to see that.

Maybe next they can do a dark, gritty take on Richie Rich that explores issues of class differences, or perhaps a new version of Beetle Bailey that addresses the horrors of war.

What else can we give a dark reimagining to?

I have no room in my heart left for hating dark gritty remakes. I'm on to hating "The story behind the story" or "The events that inspired the story" or "The part from before the story you were never told" crap.

Not a fan of those either.

Dracula - and vampires in general, honestly - have kind of had the opposite treatment over the last few years. They've changed them from pure predators to whiney emos that want to talk about their feelings.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
