STRANGE LOG: Where Are We?

So where are we in terms of what's going on in The Strangeverse, there isn't much and yet there is much going on behind the scenes, none of which I'll be talking about at the moment but I'll be talking about some other stuff. Let's dive in;

Project Canceled: Day Break

Sometimes life just isn't fair, not fair at all and injustices abound like in today's case when we take a look at "Day Break" a TV series that came out in 2006 boasting the likes of Taye Diggs in the lead role as Det. Brett Hopper. So what is "Day Break" about? After all the title is uncreative as there are several TV shows and movies that all share that title, what makes this one unique? Well, "Day Break" finds Det. Brett Hopper stuck in a time loop where he's framed for the murder of a District attorney and as he relives the same day he makes different choices and finds that he's in the middle of a much deeper conspiracy. It's basically "Groundhog Day" meets any cop show.  As done as that premise sounds, at least in this day and age, "Day Break" was actually very enjoyable and I'll explain why after the break;

Why I'm Not Looking Forward To James Gunn's DCEU

So once again The DCEU is rebooting itself and I decided that now would be a good time to discuss my feelings on what was announced in regards to The DCEU moving forward. I know I said I was done talking about Warner Bros. and DC BUT this warrants discussion, so let's dive in.

STRANGE LOG: From The Beckett and Calls Of The Realms?

Yep, it's time for another Strange Log, although I do promise more articles are coming soon...not that anyone's actually reading these...so ultimately why am I even writing them, but whatever, it gives me something to do so off we go.

The FAIL Of The House Of Usher

So strap yourselves in oh my brothers and only friends, this is gonna be a rant about the latest Netflix show "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" helmed by Mike Flanagan of "The Haunting Of Hill House" and "Oculus" fame. Mike Flanagan I'm starting to think is going to be one trick pony as I thought "The Haunting Of Hill House" was actually legit but after striking out with "The Haunting Of Bly Manor" and whatever the hell "Midnight Mass" was, "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" is a MASSIVE failure on all accounts and as an avid fan of Edgar Allan Poe I'm going to explain exactly why and where this show fails and MAYBE explain how it could have improved.

The Current State Of The MCU

And so oh my brothers and only friends, Phase Five of The MCU is coming to a close and my oh my what a shite show this is. Disconnected storytelling, possible scandals and many other issues plauge the once mighty MCU to the point where every new project is met with a collective yawn from the masses. In this article I'm gonna talk about where things are now and what I would have changed about this phase to make a much more cohesive story. Let's begin.

Knowing The Difference: Timelines, Universes and Dimensions

This is a bit of a weird article because I had a dream I wrote this very article and I decide to write it in real life. What spurred this article on was 2 things. I was having a discussion with some friends about comic books and how the terms "timelines" and "universe" are used interchangably while meaning two completely different things and "Mortal Kombat 1's" use of the terms "timeline" and "realms" and seeing as how the multiverse is quickly becoming more known in the cultural lexicon I decided to definatively breakdown each term and explain why they're not interchangable. Let's get to it.
