If you can make Adobe back away from its plan to cancel Animate, then you shouldn’t have a problem with making Discord reverse course on such a dangerous idea. Go and teach them a lesson.

Bad Bunny’s half time show celebrated love, marriage, family & community.
Just putting that down before it’s turned into something else, like people seeing a few seconds of Janet Jackson’s nipple was turned into the End Of The World.
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

MAGA wanted you to boycott this.

That Super Bowl halftime show was pretty awesome! Even as someone not familiar with Bad Bunny's music, the songs were great and the presentation going all out with the Puerto Rico theme was immersive. This is the US we need now instead of that worthless confederate vision of it. Glad I watched it!

It’s worse when even they are all aware of Twitter’s core problems, but they choose to let it be normalized than to take action to seperate themselves from the toxicity.

As much as I feel sympathy for Enter because of the attacks he’s gotten from an old controversy from years ago that’s already resolved, I can’t help but wonder why is he taking this treatment by staying on Twitter? And this also applies to everyone else that’s still active there.
If you wanna see how bad Twitter has gotten, people are legitimately siding with Star Giant Productions in an attempt to get back at Mr. Enter for something he did 5 years ago. They don’t care if they are defending a pedophile or a groomer, they believed the “do not ping me ever” guy is far worse.

Don't worry if you don't hear about a new upload yet. I have a video coming up this week. I'm currently working on it as we speak since what I will be reviewing just came out today. Stay tuned and I'll let you know when it's ready!

Overall, I'm glad I went to see this to support fellow YouTubers to become bigger creators beyond the internet, but Mark should've used more scary tape to put this movie together.
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM
I hope this becomes an even bigger success so that this can open the door to YouTubers to get involved with Hollywood and cinema in more ways than just be a marketing tool. This is a case where the story of making the film is a lot more fascinating and inspiring than the story in the movie.
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM
With all that said, even if I don't think this is very good, I still think this is already one of the best cinematic achievements this year because of how it was created. I applaud Mark and his team for making this movie with the materials they had. That in itself is impressive.
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM
However, as I was watching Iron Lung, I wished that I was sitting in a more comfortable seat because this is a horror film I could nap to. I don't think you'll be seeing that quote in the marketing, lol!
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM

Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of good stuff done in here, especially with a great cast, and the effects are awesome when they show up. This is still a better movie based on a game than some of the recent ones we've been getting like Minecraft, the FNAF movies and the new Silent Hill.
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM
That and the plot only pops up occasionally and don't leave much of an impact to remember the context. The movie only gets crazy and literally lets out all the blood after the 90-minute mark, and even at that point, I checked out in terms of caring about what's happening in terms of the story.
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM
But for real when it comes to the movie itself, it was...ehhhhh. I think I get the criticisms of how it has some serious pacing issues. Considering that this is based on a short indie game, most of this movie is just 2 hours of an angry Mark in a small box.
February 4, 2026 at 5:30 PM
I went to see Iron Lung last night, and boy was that scary, especially when Markiplier was...ON THE MOON!

(I just wanna say that to see if any of my followers watch Distractible. Big fan of the podcast)

40 years ago today, Pixar Animation Studios was created and went on to change not just animation, but the entire film industry by making many of what are now some of the most iconic animated features in history, and their legacy is still going strong today by releasing great hits year after year.

Let’s be honest, regardless if they knew or not, anti-woke YouTube channels would still be happy to comply with the plans because we’ve seen multiple times how these right-wing personalities are the kind who would gladly accept an invite to Epstein Island knowingly what’s happened there.
Hi I hate it here thanks.

Animation news has been rather dry these past several days...In fact, there hasn't been much going on in entertainment to talk about in general (other than Catherine O'Hara's passing). Let's take a break from AniMat' Crazy Cartoon Cast this week and let's save some energy for next time!
