This Might Actually Be The Most Intense Line Read Of Matthew McConaughey's Entire Career, And It's In

"You don't want any part in this, bud."

The Furious Five - Concept Poster/Synopsis: Viper

"Having enjoyed some much-needed months of peace and quiet, Viper finds herself thrust back into action when she and the Five accompany Tigress to track down her long-lost family. In the face of all kinds of adversity, danger and long-repressed trauma, Viper remains steadily determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and help Tigress find her happy ending, even if that means having to potentially part ways with her beloved surrogate sister for good."

This whole insistence on everything being connected to the Bayverse would be funny, if not for the fact that Lorenzo is actively hurting the movies and the franchise as a whole by following this mindset and using his power as a producer to force these restrictions.

Thanks to him, all future Transformers films now have to be set before 2007 and can't have long-term changes that'll contradict it, and Megatron (who's "supposed" to still be frozen in the Hoover Dam) and most of the other main Decepticons can't appear in major roles in the live action ones. Everybody else working on these movies wants to use those characters and go all in on moving the franchise forward with the clean slate and the goodwill that Bumblebee gave them, but they can't do that, and it's solely because Lorenzo won't allow them to.

Keep in mind, The Last Knight full on underperformed, and any future sequels in that continuity were straight up cancelled specifically in favour of continuing a new story arc with Bumblebee (which was originally meant to be a standalone prequel). Meaning the Bayverse is already effectively dead, and Lorenzo is now hindering future films to (kind of) follow its continuity for literally no reason.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura desperately claiming every Transformers movie after The Last Knight is canon to the Bay movies

(Bumblebee shows him and the other differently-designed Autobots first arriving on Earth in the 80s)

Lorenzo: It's just a little G1-esque, it's still good, it's still good!

(Transformers: Rise of the Beasts shows Unicron invading Earth in the 90s rather than being the Earth itself)

Lorenzo: It's just a little retconned, it's still good, it's still good!

(Transformers One takes place on a different-looking Cybertron with entirely new actors and character designs)

Lorenzo: It's just a little animated, it's still good, it's still good!

Fans: It's rebooted.

Lorenzo: I know.

Crazy to think Kung Fu Panda 4 has already aged worse in six months than the first three movies have in 8-16 years.

If Yelena is a top and Ava is a bottom, would that make Yelena a Ghost Rider?

As proud as I am of the Quebula/Starbula fics I've written, it's definitely been pretty difficult tackling these issues in their dynamic without making the whole thing seem like a bad idea.

I know for a I've been keeping *a lot* of fans waiting for a possible follow-up, but I really want to make sure anything I write for Nebula and Quill now is worth the wait.

I wish I wasn’t so into Peter/Nebula because it’s not at all what either of them needs… Peter’s whole arc in Vol. 3 is to learn how to stop tying his worth to women and love himself. Nebula needs to know for certain she’s loved for herself and not have to wonder if she’s just a replacement for Gamora and Peter isn’t in a place yet to provide that. I love them because they clearly do love and respect each other but they’re not in the right place to explore what that might mean in a romantic sense by the end of Vol. 3.

…but my lizard brain still into it. 👀

My sister probably summed it up best when we watched it together:

Jimmy didn't get mad because his daughter was fired. He got mad because his daughter was fired.

I only just noticed this in Sing 2. While Clay talks to Buster, Jimmy's interview with Linda continues playing on the TV in the background. And this is what he's saying when you turn on the subtitles:

Yeah, he has the gall to insinuate "yeah, I totally care about my daughter who I just called an embarrassment and a talentless loser and didn't even try to comfort when she was upset" all to prop up himself and his image.

Utter bastard.

The Furious Five - Concept Poster/Synopsis: Monkey

"When the Five embark on a new adventure to uncover Tigress' past, Monkey may need to put aside his mischevious nature and get back in touch with his more compassionate side in order to get to the bottom of this long-unresolved mystery. But as his lifelong friends are tempted to pursue new chapters in their lives, Monkey begins to question what awaits him beyond his longheld position of kung fu warrior."

I can't stop thinking about the fact that Tigress probably totally forgot this happened (maybe seeing Po at the Dragon Warrior ceremony in the first movie jogged her memory…?) and she still has no idea how much that one little smile made Po's day and stuck with him forever.

Just One Glance

Synopsis: Set a few months after the events of the Secrets of the Scroll, and years before the events of the first Kung Fu Panda film, The Furious Five make their official debut as the new protectors of the Valley of Peace. Po, not really knowing who they are but remembers seeing them when they fought Boar together, and having enough memory to carve their action figures out of wood, sees them presented to society for the first time as masters. He is in awe of their skills and awesomeness, but one young Tigress catches his eye. 

If the events of Secrets of the Scroll was about the day Po fell in love with Kung Fu, then this is about the day he started crushing on Tigress.

Based on a short script I wrote a couple years ago (or longer, I can’t remember.) You can feel free to read the script here on FF.net.

I have been wanting to create a comic or animatic for this for a long time to get it out of my head, and I finally had some time to work on it over a weekend (emphasis on 'some'), so it’s not perfect, but enough to get the idea across lol. I can’t do voices, so had to add subtitles, but if anyone is interested in adding a voice over for these characters, let me know lol. 😂 Took some liberties, too, but I hope you KFP/TiPo fans enjoy nonetheless! 🐼 🐯 🍜
