Fox Cancellations And The Disney Deal

Fox Cancellations and the Disney Deal

As we know today Fox cancelled many of there TV shows including Brooklyn Nine Nine and Lucifer, this has left many fans angered.

Fox as a company have now got a deal with the NFL for Thursday Night Football which means much of their roster has to change. However this is not the only reason for the cancellations. Many people are thrilled at the possibility of Disney buying out Fox as it means all the Marvel characters shall be united but many of them forget the negatives that follow such a big deal. Multitudes of people will lose their jobs as Disney doesn't need doubles of a job and also by Disney buying Foxs entertainment it also means it will be buying some of their TV shows, which I am not sure.

With this deal it proves that Foxs heads Rupert Murdoch and his two sons James and Lachlan Murdoch are no longer intrested in producing or creating original content and would rather have their focus on news and sports.

There is always the possibility that Chomecast get the deal instead of Disney as they are offering cash whilst Disney offers stocks so even all of you routing for Disney should be cautious in your faith.

Lastly, Brooklyn Nine Nine has been picked up by NBC so Lucifer fans should have some hope that another studio will pick up the show.

The Importance of Nightwing

Nightwing is also known as Dick Grayson and previously Robin. When he was dismissed from his Robin position Dick Grayson had decided he wasn’t done with the vigilant life and becomes Nightwing.

Admittedly I’m not excited for the supposed upcoming Nightwing movie (which I do not believe will go ahead) or Brenton Thwaites portrayal of this character in the live action Titans series. This is because I don’t have faith that they will do the character justice. Hopefully I’m just being cynical and will be proven wrong.

Nightwing for me has always been both masculine and feminine never really molding into one category. Which I appreciate as it shows how everyone is both masculine and feminine because we have a wide vary of traits. Dick Grayson comes from a circus backgroud with this past his fighting style is more elegant and has more of a performance nature. This is unlike most superheroes who have a very strong and dominant presence in the arena.

Starfire is Nightwings first love and the two shared an beautiful relationship that questioned wither it’s love or lust. I think that it’s Nightwings awkward innocence in this relationship that makes it so sweet. It is also this innocence that puts Nightwing in the more vulnerable position. This type of vulnerability in love isn’t shown often for the man as it’s seen as emasculating them but in fact it’s doing the opposite.

Batgirl and Nightwing, I love this relationship despite it never really having a happy ending. The two have always had feelings for each other but after the devestation of The Killing Joke their relationship just doesn’t seem to work. Yes, Nightwing does sleep around and is a playboy but it’s always very affectionate besides you can always tell he loves Barbara Gorden.

He’s a rape victim whilst male rape does happen in comic books much more then in the media of TV and Film I still think the fact that Nightwing has been raped twice makes it even more heartbreaking. Besides males being abused by females is a thing that needs to be talked about more often because it is a thing that happens which people tend to sweep under the rug. The fact that Nightwing is a character who can do this futher goes to show his importance as he is providing such a taboo topic a platform.

Nightwing is important as he shows the diverse sides of the heterosexual male often not shown in the media. He displays the various vunerablities of humans and also opens up topics for discussion that others keep closed.

A Star To Watch - Lucas Hedges

Lucas Hedges is an actor who just keeps working you may not see him and instantly recognise him but you will know that you know him. He perfectly defines the saying ‘no small parts only small actors’ as in all his roles his parts aren’t the main yet he still manages to leave an impact.

His filmography is already incredible starring in such high calibre films like; Moonrise Kingdom, Grand Budapest Hotel, Manchester By The Sea, Lady Bird and Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri. All of these films star such great actors, incredible direction plus get a lot of awards attention.

He has shown his range by taking a vast amount of roles all very different from one another. My personal favourite was his performance in Lady Bird as he was sweet and charming but the scene outside the coffee shop was so impactful despite its brief nature. The scene really stuck with me and made me pay attention to him.

In the future watch out for Lucas Hedges because there are going to be bigger and brighter things in his future (hopefully a leading role).

Boy Erased

Boy Erased looks like such an incredible heart breaking film.

It's good to see Joel Edgerton directing again after doing such a good job with The Gift. I'm excited to see how he has progressed as a director and how he will handle such a different project.

I'm so happy Lucas Hedges is getting leading roles that show off his acting range. The cast is amazing and will most likely all do a stellar job also having Troye Sivan is always a plus.

The trailer made me cry but also made me wish i could see the movie right now.

P.S. - I think this is gonna be a great awards contender
