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.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
