X-Men/Mufasa - May 1

Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks. Now onto the home stretch of the X-Men ’97 season?

…Well, rather not, because by now we got the gist of the conflict in this season: it is the X-Men and most other mutants against yet another sentinel version – the Prime Sentinels. As far as Sentinels go, they are the X-Men version of the Mindless Ones, complete with glowing eyes. They can hardly be stopped, they can barely be reasoned with, they are yet another incarnation of the ‘evil mob’ kind of foe, and as such they cannot be sympathized, not really – and (the now dead) Gyrich is behind them. Of course he is. He is the mastermind behind the mob, (not to be confused with the actual X-Men character named the Mastermind). It was said before and it is said now, the X-Men ’97 franchise is going around in a circle like a snake in a wheel and going nowhere.

…Ok, this was uncalled for – with Magneto’s help the Prime Sentinels are defeated, but since the season’s finale is a 3-parter, and this was only the first part, so more excitement is ahead, really. Hell, even Jubilee and Roberto will be given something to do! Back in the 90s, Jubilee was all but written out of the main narrative, because it was no longer obvious what she was needed for in a show with a big cast, and the same is happening now, her and Roberto’s adventure in Mojo-land notwithstanding. This time she and Roberto are being dragged along for the ride like a couple of accessories to the main suit, and-

-and yes, Jubilee may grow up into a formidable warrior if she doesn’t die, and Morph is used as a prop to showcase various other Marvel mutant characters without them being actually around, and professor X is back, and everyone is excited, and the audiences are eating the show up, and there’s no specific background, unlike what is shaping up in the ‘Deadpool 3’ movie, and we’ve been here before, remember? Therefore, instead of beating up a (existential status undetermined) Deadpool, let us briefly talk about the upcoming ‘Mufasa’ film.

This is a spin-off of the ‘Lion King’ films, focusing on the childhood of Simba’s father instead. In this trailer, we see that 1) the (spotted) hyenas might be present, but they are playing a smaller role than they did in the original movie (both incarnations), which is good, because they need more good PR (the hyenas do). 2) Is that Mufasa’s brother Scar is not very prominent in the trailer either, but there are scenes of two lions of different ages fighting each other. In one scene, the background is on fire, and we get a glimpse of a small creature attacking the (enemy?) lion – perhaps it is Timon, who, alongside Pumba, is also supposed to be appear in the film. In the second fight, the background is icy, so either we are going to have a flashback into the past, into lives of cave lions instead, or Mufasa is going to get onto the Mt. Kilimanjaro or somewhere similar.

…The geography in the ‘Lion King’ franchise is just as bad as zoology is – in RL Africa has deserts at the ends, the jungle in the middle, and the savanna in-between, broadly speaking. In the world of Mufasa, Scar and Simba, we get the desert between the savanna and the jungle instead, therefore, an ice and snow covered mountain could fit quite well into this ensemble.

3) – in another scene, we have a lion cub, or cubs, having a misadventure with at least one Nile crocodile. In RL, this reptile is the only challenger to the saltwater crocodile in size and strength; the royal lion can defeat it, however – on land, and preferably in a pride. One on one, and especially in the water, the Nile crocodile has the upper hand, however. Since Mufasa (and his companions) are just cubs, they are in big trouble.

Finally, 4) – Rafiki. He is a mandrill, and this monkey, as well as its’ only true relative the drill, are not baboons, nor are particularly close cousins to them; rather, their closest relatives are the crested mangabeys, a group of guenon-like monkeys that don’t look anything like the drill/mandrill duo, as the latter look much more like the baboons and the geladas instead. Moreover, unlike the latter, the drill and the mandrill live in the African jungle, and as such, they appeared in Disney’s animated Tarzan-verse, and avoid the savannahs instead. Disney is certainly playing fast and loose with Africa in the ‘Lion King’ franchise; it will certainly be interesting to see how the movie will come out in winter of 2024.

For now, however, this is it. See you all soon!

Giraffe and its' relatives - Nov 28

 Let us talk about giraffes and their relatives, just because.

The modern giraffe…consists of no one has a definite idea of how many species of the modern giraffes there are: an 8, a 4, and a 3-species family trees are proposed, and so far, not a single one out of them has won, all three theories are equally valid. That said, all of the giraffes are the world’s tallest mammal; they all are browsers, and eat leaves and other parts of trees and shrubs rather than grasses and other herbaceous plants. This is important, as grasses tend to regrow after they had been cropped by such mammals as the zebra, whereas tree leaves… also regrow, eventually, but at a much slower pace than how the grasses do. Therefore, many African savanna trees have evolved… some, as the acacias, have spines and symbiotic relationship with ants, (rather than termites), while the baobabs are flat-out huge and can handle the giraffes through their sheer size and bulk… eventually. Still, we digress.

Regardless of how many species of the modern giraffe there is, the modern okapis are represented by a single species, the, well, modern okapi. It is also called ‘the forest giraffe’, ‘the zebra giraffe’ and the like, but scientifically, it is named Okapia johnstoni. It is smaller, or rather – shorter than the ‘true’ giraffe of the African savanna, which means that it is less specialized than its’ cousin (cousins?) is.

Why? Because – proportionally – the okapi has a more varied diet than the giraffe from the start. It, too, eats foliage rather than grasses, as does the giraffe… but it does so because there is far fewer ‘true’ grasses in the jungle where it lives. The grasses are plants of open spaces, because in enclosed spaces bigger plants – shrubs and trees – block out the sun, and the herbaceous plants that live in forests – whether temperate or tropical – are more shadow loving than their grassland counterparts are. …Yes, this is generalization, but you get the point. Back to the okapi.

Again, it eats foliage and other parts of trees and shrubs, (the non-woody ones), and has many similarities to the giraffe, but because it lives in a proportionally more abundant and varied ecosystem, it is smaller and less derived than the giraffe is. In addition, there are fewer big herbivores in the jungle, as opposed to the savanna, and they tend to be smaller in size – the okapi, the African forest elephant, the forest antelopes, the pygmy hippo, even the non-white rhinos of the world – they all are smaller than their savanna-dwelling relatives are. In part because they’re living in tighter conditions, in part – because there’s less competition between the species, and fewer big predators as well – out of Africa’s ‘big five’, only the leopard enters the jungle, and it doesn’t appear to be attacking okapis regularly, for example, or giraffes for that matter. As such, the okapis do not need to get as big as the giraffe, as the giraffe’s size – or height – protects it from the leopards, lions, etc. (Moreover, the baobab’s size protects it from the giraffes, elephants, etc.). What next?

From the close relatives, to the more distant ones – the American pronghorns, the last members of the giraffes’ sister group. However, it is known as ‘the American antelope’ and ‘the pronghorn antelope’ among other monikers, this mammal – Antilocapra americana – is much less derived than the ‘true’ antelopes of the Old World is, and proportionally, it is much more closely related to the giraffe and the okapi. That said, physically, ‘on the outside’, the pronghorn is reminiscent… of the gazelles of Africa and Asia.

Eh, ok, gazelles are antelopes, in a matter of speaking. However, they are also antelopes that evolved for speed; they are light-bodied, long-legged and gracile, as opposed to something like the eland, which is built more like a cow, quite robust, or even the gnu, which is more of an endurance marathon runner instead. The American pronghorn, however, is also a marathon runner, having evolved in a time period when North America had its’ own cheetah species, (more closely related to the puma than to the modern Old World cheetah), and cheetahs are the ultimate sprinters – but we digress. These days, North America has no cheetahs, but what it does have is an Old World civilization that restricts’ the pronghorns’ (and the bison’s’, the peccaries’, etc.) prairie habitat, causing their populations to plummet regardless, much more efficiently than any cheetah would be able to… However, for us, what is important here and now that while the ‘true’ giraffe is a savanna foliage specialist, and the okapi is a jungle foliage generalist, the pronghorn is a prairie grass generalist instead. Is there anything left?

Actually, yes – the chevrotains or the mouse deer. Contrary to their names, the ‘rest’ of the deer are not close relatives of these mammals; the ‘true’ deer, and the musk deer, are much more evolved than the chevrotains are.

Let us try again. Among the modern ruminants, two groups stand above the rest. One group are the bovids – antelopes and gazelles, wild cattle, sheep and goats. Moreover, the second group are the deer. There are the ‘true’ deer, which consist of two subfamilies – the American deer, (with some exceptions, such as the moose, the caribou and the roe deer), and the Old World deer, (with some exceptions, such as the wapiti). The second family are the musk deer, (6 or 7 species), which are the sister group to the ‘true’ deer. Moreover, the mouse deer/chevrotains?

…They are much less derived than the ‘other’ deer – in fact, the rest of the ruminant artiodactyl mammals – are, and proportionally, they are much more closely related to the giraffe, the okapi and the pronghorn.

What do chevrotains look like? Tiny, vaguely deer-like animals with hooves, but without antlers. Some have also proportionally big canine teeth, superficially like the much bigger musk deer. (Actually, the musk deer are quite smaller than the ‘real’ deer, but they are still quite bigger than the mouse deer). They live in jungles – one in Africa, the rest – in Asia. That is because in Africa, their niche is taken over by the antelopes, i.e. the duikers and the Neotragus species, but that is another story.

Anything else? Right, the water chevrotain – the outsider that lives in Africa, rather than in Asia – is omnivorous, the others are less so, and all are found close to water. Put otherwise, not unlike the giraffe, the mouse deer are specialized – they have a very specific econiche in which they live, and this enables them to survive, avoiding competition with more derived herbivores. Only not, for in Africa that same econiche is taken over by those more derived herbivores – small jungle antelopes, such as duiker, and so only the water chevrotain Hyemoschus aquaticus is able to survive there, by being the most aquatic and most omnivorous out of them all. As Po the giant panda told the snow leopard villain of the first ‘Kung Fu Panda’ movie, “there’s no ultimate secret”, there is no ultimate solution to anything.

Let us conclude. On our narrative about the giraffe, we met four very different types of even-toed mammals. As we look at them, we see the giraffe, browsing from the treetops of the African savanna, the pronghorn, grazing on the grasses of the American prairie, the okapi, who is eating the leaves in the African jungle, and the mouse deer, which are scurrying through the undergrowth of Asian, but also African jungles, eating various general plant matter. They all look different from each other, but all are also more closely related to each other – proportionally – than to any other plant-eating mammal. This, then, is the wonder of evolution.

Call of the Wild 2020 - Nov 20

Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks, and sometimes you have no idea as to how to fix it. On the other hand, maybe you do, but not entirely sure if it will be worth it, especially in the long run. Sometimes things are just stacked in your favor, though you do not know it, and your actions, possibly, are making it worse. Now onto the movies!

…No, we are not talking about the ‘Frozen 2’ film; it has not come out yet, so we will talk about it later. What we are talking about here is the trailer for 2020’s version of ‘Call of the Wild’ film, made by Fox, (cough Disney cough). Based on Jack London’s novel of the same name, the movie again features real life dogs (and wolves?), albeit augmented by CGI.

…Yes, it clearly seems to be influenced by 2019’s version of ‘Lady and the Tramp’, but even from this initial trailer it can be seen that this movie will be much more original content than the adaption of L&T has been. How so and why?

Firstly, what is the original novel about? Jack London wrote two great novels about people and dogs in the north: ‘Call of the Wild’ and ‘White Fang’. ‘White Fang’ tells the story of a dog, or a dog-wolf hybrid, which is born in a wild, gets captured (alongside his mother) and raised by Native Americans, has a lot of adventures of a savage kind, and eventually is brought to the mainland U.S. by his last and kindly Anglo-American owner, where he lives the rest of his life. ‘Call of the Wild’ goes precisely in the opposite direction: we have a Saint Bernard dog that gets kidnapped and brought to the Yukon, where he goes through a slew of owners, good and bad, until he gets adopted by a kindly old hermit, who likes dogs much more so than he does people, (and who apparently will be played by Harrison Ford in the 2020 film), and who… eventually gets murdered, alongside his dogs, (except for the Saint Bernard in question), by Native American savages, cough. And what does the Saint Bernard do? He takes over a local wolf pack and wages war against the Native Americans in question for the rest of his life.

…Now, a question about just how much Saint Bernard dogs are compatible with wolves, both in behavior, (that’s malleable, true), and in anatomy – humans have modified dogs from their initial wolf, jackal, coyote and wild dog stock a lot. That said, we must keep in mind that human knowledge and attitude regarding wolves, dogs, and wolf-dog hybrids has changed a lot between the times of Jack London (and his works) and the modern times on one hand, and on the other? In the upcoming 2020 film, the titular dog will actually not be a pureblood Saint Bernard, but rather a Saint-Bernard/Scotch Collie mixed breed instead. Is it because it will also be revealed to be a rescued (from a shelter) dog? It is anyone’s guess. Between this revelation and the glimpses of Buck the dog and Harrison Ford’s character rescuing a Native American woman, (something that didn’t happen in the novel), odds are that the 2020 film will be very different from the original novel, because reasons. Anything else?

On the plus side, I watched a NatGeo special, ‘America’s Greatest Animals’, where NatGeo and four of its hosts oversaw twelve of North America’s best-known iconic animals and selected the top five out of them – the gray wolf, the grizzly, the polar bear, the moose and the bison. It was nicely done, (though the hosts’ comments subtracted rather than added to the show’s enjoyment) and its’ script was smartly written, actually. Even the grading system was well designed…and this brings us back to ‘Kings of Pain’, even though we would rather not.

The show’s hosts, and actually the show itself keeps on imitating ‘Brave Wilderness’, and they are not succeeding even here: judge for yourself. On one episode, Coyote Petersen got stung by two North American scorpions, (this is important), and in another, he got stung (or spiked?) by a lionfish. And what do we see on this week’s episode of ‘Kings of Pain’? They travel to – South Africa, where they get stung by two scorpions and a lionfish. Cough.

Now, there is another episode, where Petersen actually gets himself treated for the lionfish stinger, for example; it is product placement, true, but it does balance-out nicely the process of him actually getting hurt. We are getting nothing like this in ‘Kings of Pain’… on top of the mess with the scorpions.

…Let’s talk about the scorpions. In this week’s episode, Mr. Rob Alleva and Mr. Adam Thorn got stung by two South African scorpions – one is a ‘bark scorpion’, and another one is an Uroplectes, aka a lesser thick-tailed scorpion. That is not the problem, the problem is that normally the moniker ‘bark scorpion’ applies to several North American species – the Arizona bark scorpion, the striped bark scorpion, and the Baja California bark scorpion. They all belong to the Centruroides genus, which is found only in the Americas… which hasn’t prevented an article – you can find it here, right now (https://meaww.com/kings-of-pain-rob-alleva-adam-thorn-stung-two-scorpions-lionfish-389378), from calling the ‘not-Uroplectes’ scorpion a ‘South African bark scorpion (Centruroides vittatus)’. End quote. There is such a scorpion indeed – it is the previously mentioned striped bark scorpion, which is found in the U.S. and northern Mexico. Supposedly, it is the most frequently encountered species of scorpion in the U.S., so some confusion can be accepted, especially since there is also a scorpion species known as Uroplectes vittatus instead, but still. The words Uroplectes and Centruroides are completely different – intentionally different, as to prevent confusion that can arise when only lay-names such as ‘bark scorpions’ are used instead. Someone is being unprofessional in the ‘Kings of Pain’ cast, crew and associates, and that really is not good. Seriously, we’re ripping-off ‘Brave Wilderness’, whose double-scorpion episode was set in the U.S., where the various bark scorpion species, (or rather, the scorpion species that are most commonly known as bark scorpions by the American populace), live. Can we at least put-in some extra effort to ensure that we got our scientific names and geography straight? The continents of North America and Africa are distinctly separate from each other, and so are their respective animals. Real life sucks already, but it does not mean that we should make it dumber as well.

…As for the lionfish…fair enough. There currently are 12 recognized species of those fish and they all resemble each other closely enough for lay-people (such as you and me) to honestly confuse them. No problem there, good luck to Mr. Alleva and Mr. Thorn as well as their entourage – they will need it.

…This is it for now; see you all soon!

Black Panther the movie - Feb 16

‘Black Panther’ movie has arrived in the movie theaters at last. Let us talk about it, and if there are people who are still concerned about spoilers – and there probably still are – let them be warned: we will proceed.

Where do we stand with ‘Black Panther’? In Africa, and many people are already discussing the Afrocentrism, the Afrofuturism, and the similar aspects of the movie, and how they are making the ‘Black Panther’ film great. A dissonance is the voice of those critics who’re unhappy that the film was never filmed in Africa proper, but that is understandable – real life imposes its’ own restrictions even on the movie magics, and-

And here is the crux about the African issue: when the Europeans began to conquer Africa and, well, enslave its people, one of the other, less advertised, effects of this action was the eventual erosion of the initial ethnical African cultures and their subsequent replacements with the European ones, especially Protestant – just read the novels of, say, Chinua Achebe, to see how it went down in real life. Thus, whatever else can, or should be, said about the relations between Europeans, Africans, Anglo-Americans and Afro-Americans, the fact was that the African cultures were affected much more so than their European/USA Protestant counterparts, period, and this includes the current ‘Black Panther’ film – yes, it involves much more people of color as part of its cast (and crew?), but it is still an American movie, not an African one; its’ approach is a part of the ‘restitution’, of a karmic debt, of sorts, that USA still feels towards Africa and its’ native people – and that issue is a very thorny one back in the American society. Some people still claim that the pilgrims and the other European pioneers were the ones who made America great in the first place, and everyone else – i.e., P.O.Cs – are secondary…at best. And there others who claim everything in the previous statement…in reverse. Both groups – as well as others – have enough members who are very adroit at grabbing (and/or possessing) firearms, then gunning down everyone else who disagrees with them…, and that is not an exclusively American problem, but…

But we are talking about the ‘Black Panther’ movie specifically. It is an American movie, done about a fictional African country, (back in 2016, one of Wakanda’s neighbouring countries was Canaan, which isn’t even in Africa, more like in Middle East, just look over your Old Testament geography, here). As such, anything Africa-related to it, isn’t ‘genuine’ African, more like yet another attempt of USA to ‘restitute’ its’ historical (etc.) debt to ‘the Black Continent’, and all that follows. Thus, claiming that the ‘Black Panther’ has Afrocentrism, or Afrofuturism, or anything Afro-related is…posery, and isn’t very honest; this isn’t exactly Africa-anything, more like good old Uncle Sam congratulating himself on his virtues…as if the Donald doing exactly that in the presidential seat wasn’t enough of that.

Beyond the African (and/or Africa-related) elements, what else is there? …A typical Marvel movie, that’s what – high-quality CGI, high-quality acting, high-quality plot…but the same as usual: all heroes prevail, all villains die, and Disney’s ‘Lion King’ looming in the shadows. As if the CIA agent Bilbo Baggins was not bad enough. …Okay, agent Ross – he’s the replacement of Coulson, now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been taken out of the equation again, and agent Coulson was probably still in the future at that point of time in MCU, (re: AoS S5).

AoS here is mentioned because of villains. Klaue is dead now, the end. This version of MCU Man-Ape got PC-edited the most, and has been downplayed because of racial stereotypes which is just what the world doesn’t need more of, especially in this day and age. And Killmonger is dead, as he’d been repeatedly in the comics, (for example in 2016), which is a rule of thumb of villains in MCU; the only notable exception, (Thanos doesn’t count – he stayed largely behind the scenes until the upcoming ‘Infinity War’ movies, and Red Skull is down for the count for all purposes too), is Loki.

Let us take an aside for ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ as well. It was a reset of Thor’s corner of MCU, as everyone that we have met in the first two ‘Thor’ movies are gone; either they are dead, or are simply gone, as Jane Foster and Sif are. Aside from Thor and Loki, there’s no one left, everyone else – like the Valkyrie – are brand new. This makes Loki’s standing in Thor’s life somewhat unusual: he is a blackguard, but a predictable one. Thor knows by now how far he can trust his brother, and when he cannot, and he treats Loki accordingly. Thus, the only variable left in the Loki-Thor relationship, (sibling relationship, you perverts!) is what will Loki do about it, especially now that Thanos has come for the Infinity Stones personally, and as we know, he has bossed Loki once, and he can do it again. Where does it leave the Trickster God?

…He can stand with Thanos and fall with him, however eventually. Or he can stand with the Avengers and get a share of their triumph and be redeemed, at least in part, (just as how Bucky Barnes seems to be going – the entire White Wolf cameo at the credits’ end, remember?). Or he can decide to screw all of this and just escape and go and live his own life, be his own person at last. He can do anything; he just has to survive the Infinity War…and to admit, especially to himself, that now and here, (and maybe forever), Thor is the bigger, better man, even if Loki does not want to be a hero. Asgard is gone, (thanks to Hela and Surtr), but its’ people remain, and they are following Thor, not Loki. Does Loki care about that? Does Loki care about anyone else other than himself? The first ‘Thor’ movie showed that he does not, but he has convinced himself of it being otherwise, so now he has to decide if he abandons the lie or makes it into a truth? Loki will not be king in the Marvel movies, most likely, but it does not mean that he has to be a villain either.

…And this brings us to Killmonger and the rest of Marvel’s villains; the only thing that is really separating Killmonger from the rest of them, (aside from Loki), is that Killmonger had actually had a chance to repent and redeem himself…which he discarded, so the end result is all the same. One dead villain. Back in the 90s, the Herc (H: TLJ) and Xena (X: WP) TV series had this sort of thing: on occasion the titular characters would battle someone who was less outright evil and more misguided or misdirected or something. Then they would be offered, usually in the last part of the episode, to stop and think about their actions, to repent and turn around. If they didn’t…Hercules and Xena would still kill them, but at least they were offered a chance to stop being villains and maybe even become good guys, (at least to a point). MCU…does not do that. The bad people do not get a chance to repent, (Loki just was not cornered and gunned down yet)…only in AoS, they did.

In the second part of S2 it seemed quite likely, that Ward and Kara will redeem themselves with the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. and either rejoin them or leave the show via T.A.H.I.T.I. Instead, canon happened and they both died. AoS has played this out very badly; even now there are people who hate Ward, (and to a lesser extent Kara), as well those who hate May, (and to a lesser extent Coulson), and Hunter & Morse are not very popular too. (Hunter’s return in AoS S5 so far was very perfunctory, and his interview on the Marvel News website – ditto). This on top of both real life issues with AoS & MCU, and all the other fan conflicts, (regarding Hydra, as well as Cap vs. Tony CA: CW conflict)… AoS has suffered and has never recovered, not even now, in S5, but we are talking about the ‘Black Panther’ movie now, and Eric Killmonger.

…A lot of people are talking about how Killmonger has broken the villain mould. He has not. His final battle with T’Challa the titular Black Panther was two men dressed in almost identical clothes with almost identical weapons – if this wasn’t a ‘dark mirror’, then what is?

…But wait! Killmonger was confronting T’Challa in regards to how people of color are being treated outside Wakanda! How – American of him. Oh wait, he actually grew up in the West and is socially aware! …Remind us, why is he the villain, again?

...In real life, there'd been plenty of times when USA has tried to intervene in African countries directly as well as via UN. None of those attempts succeeded. One of them was Liberia, a real-life African country that was created by Anglo-Americans for the freed ex-slaves – they were to go back to their homeland and build their own country there. It’s unknown if it is was supposed to be a utopia, but initially it was anything but democratic: the former Afro-Americans set themselves up as the new country’s elite, and the Native Africans as their serfs/slaves/servants/whatever. Native Africans and Afro-Americans are two very different people, (people such as Jules Verne have recognized it way back in the past), so to claim that an American/Afro-American movie is African-anything is wrong.

Okay, it is actually yet another American/Afro-American perception of what an African utopia is supposed to be - that's the 'African' part here, probably. In reality Wakanda would probably be not very different from Liberia or any other country; yes, it had a wall to keep everyone else out…let us ask the Donald and his cabinet as well as his critics just how effective this sort of a contraption is. It’s about as effective as the American attempts to build an interracial utopia within itself since the 1970s – it has failed, odds are that it will continue to fail here and now, and if in 2020 Oprah will decide to run for the presidency of the US the resulting fall-out will make the fall-out from Clinton’s defeat look mild because the interracial relations of USA both within and without are far from idyllic or utopic. ‘Black Panther’ is yet another attempt to do something about it, this time utilizing MCU’s excellent, (but apparently limited), movies. The result – a standard USA MCU movie, (i.e. very excellent, much better than DCEU’s counterparts), about an Afrofuturistic, (or whatever the right term is), utopia that got everyone, (or at least 'the right people') in the US singing accolades about it so much that since the beginning of this week ‘Black Panther’ became a ‘trigger-happy’, or ‘hot trigger’, or whatever: people are already beginning to be pissed-off by the monolith of praise and are doing something about it without even judging the movie for themselves… This is not good or conductive; whatever people in Disney, MCU and beyond wanted to achieve via this film, it just might backfire instead…

This is it for now; see you all soon!
