Why Choosing the Right Microcontroller Distributor Matters More Than You Think

Talk to any engineer working on embedded systems, and they'll tell you — the microcontroller is everything. It’s the little chip doing the heavy lifting, quietly powering devices we use daily. Whether it’s a home automation product, a factory sensor, or a portable medical device, there’s a microcontroller ticking away inside. But while product teams obsess over which MCU to use, many forget to ask a simple but important question: Where are we getting it from?

It’s not a minor detail. In fact, your choice of microcontroller distributor could make or break your project.

The Real Cost of the Wrong Supplier

Let’s be honest. Delays hurt. Missing components, inconsistent supply, or vague technical support aren’t just annoyances — they cost teams time and money. That’s why working with a trusted MCU supplier matters just as much as selecting the right MCU itself.

Here’s the thing: There are plenty of microcontroller companies out there. But not all of them understand the pressure product teams face. That’s where companies like OM Electronic come in. They don’t just ship chips — they understand how the Indian electronics industry works. They know what’s at stake.

What Makes a Good MCU Partner?

You can Google a part number and find hundreds of sellers. So what separates a top microprocessor company from a fly-by-night seller?

First, there's reliability. Are they delivering the exact part, in the promised time frame, and with proper documentation? Next, there's expertise. Can they help you find an alternative if your preferred part is unavailable? Can they give you insights into life-cycle availability or share datasheets quickly when needed?

Then there’s authenticity. A good microcontroller supplier ensures your parts are original, factory-sealed, and traceable. That matters more than people think — especially when dealing with tight tolerances and safety standards.

Why OM Electronic Gets It Right

When you’re sourcing MCUs, especially for industrial or commercial applications, you can’t afford surprises. OM Electronic has built a reputation in India as a microcontroller distributor that delivers not only on time but also with real-world product knowledge.

They carry microcontrollers from global leaders, suited for everything from basic embedded systems to complex IoT applications. And unlike many generic vendors, they work with you — offering support during the selection process and even helping solve problems when you're stuck.

That kind of service is rare. And it’s exactly why they're considered one of the best microprocessor distributors in India today.

The Bigger Picture

Think beyond your current project. If your company plans to scale, enter new markets, or simply reduce downtime, you need a component partner who can scale with you. That’s why many hardware companies today are reevaluating who they source from.

Choosing the right MCU company isn’t about one-time pricing. It’s about long-term reliability, supply chain strength, and honest communication.

Final Thoughts

The world of embedded systems is exciting — and demanding. Products are getting smarter, faster, and more connected. But with that comes pressure: tighter deadlines, shrinking margins, and growing complexity.

In such a space, small decisions — like who supplies your microcontrollers — become big ones. If you’re serious about building better products, it’s time to be serious about your sourcing too.

Companies like OM Electronic don’t just sell components. They help product teams across India build smarter and deliver on time. And in today’s environment, that’s exactly what you need from a microcontroller distributor.

At my last job, we sold lots of hobbyist electronics stuff, including microcontrollers.

This turned out to be a little more complicated than selling, like, light bulbs. Oh how I yearned for the simplicity of a product you could plug in and have work.

Background: A microcontroller is the smallest useful computer. An ATtiny10 has a kilobyte of program memory. If you buy a thousand at a time, they cost 44 cents each.

As you'd imagine, the smallest computer has not great specs. The RAM is 32 bytes. Not gigabytes, not megabytes, not kilobytes. Individual bytes. Microcontrollers have the absolute minimum amount of hardware needed to accomplish their task, and nothing more.

This includes programming the thing. Any given MCU is programmed once, at the start of its life, and then spends the next 30 years blinking an LED on a refrigerator. Since they aren’t meant to be reflashed in the field, and modern PCs no longer expose the fast, bit-bangable ports hobbyists once used, MCUs usually need a third-party programming tool.

But you could just use that tool to install a bootloader, which then listens for a magic number on the serial bus. Then you can reprogram the chip as many times as you want without the expensive programming hardware.

There is an immediate bifurcation here. Only hobbyists will use the bootloader version. With 1024 bytes of program memory, there is, even more than usual, nothing to spare.

Consumer electronics development is a funny gig. It, more than many other businesses, requires you to be good at everything. A startup making the next Furby requires a rare omniexpertise. Your company has to write software, design hardware, create a production plan, craft a marketing scheme, and still do the boring logistics tasks of putting products in boxes and mailing them out. If you want to turn a profit, you do this the absolute minimum number of people. Ideally, one.

Proving out a brand new product requires cutting corners. You make the prototype using off the shelf hobbyist electronics. You make the next ten units with the same stuff, because there's no point in rewriting the entire codebase just for low rate initial production. You use the legacy code for the next thousand units because you're desperately busy putting out a hundred fires and hiring dozens of people to handle the tsunami of new customers. For the next ten thousand customers...

Rather by accident, my former employer found itself fulfilling the needs of the missing middle. We were an official distributor of PICAXE chips for North America. Our target market was schools, but as a sideline, we sold individual PICAXE chips, which were literally PIC chips flashed with a bootloader and a BASIC interpreter at a 200% markup. As a gag, we offered volume discounts on the chips up to a thousand units. Shortly after, we found ourselves filling multi-thousand unit orders.

We had blundered into a market niche too stupid for anyone else to fill. Our customers were tiny companies who sold prototypes hacked together from dev boards. And every time I cashed a ten thousand dollar check from these guys, I was consumed with guilt. We were selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price, but they shouldn't have been buying these products at all! Since they were using bootloaders, they had to hand program each chip individually, all while PIC would sell you programmed chips at the volume we were selling them for just ten cents extra per unit! We shouldn't have been involved at all!

But they were stuck. Translating a program from the soft and cuddly memory-managed education-oriented languages to the hardcore embedded byte counting low level languages was a rather esoteric skill. If everyone in-house is just barely keeping their heads above water responding to customer emails, and there's no budget to spend $50,000 on a consultant to rewrite your program, what do you do? Well, you keep buying hobbyist chips, that's what you do.

And I talked to these guys. All the time! They were real, functional, profitable businesses, who were giving thousands of dollars to us for no real reason. And the worst thing. The worst thing was... they didn't really care? Once every few months they would talk to their chip guy, who would make vague noises about "bootloaders" and "programming services", while they were busy solving actual problems. (How to more accurately detect deer using a trail camera with 44 cents of onboard compute) What I considered the scandal of the century was barely even perceived by my customers.

In the end my employer was killed by the pandemic, and my customers seamlessly switched to buying overpriced chips straight from the source. The end! No moral.

BRUCE BANNER & THE HULK (mcu)

How Bruce / Hulk reacts to being given a Hulk plush (Bruce Banner x Fem!Reader) and (Hulk & Fem!Reader)

Headcanons

SFW, established relationship, fluff, crack treated seriously, hints at canon divergence

Picture source: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

2k+ words (some of which are from one Spurt - or mini fic - w/ Bruce and another w/ Hulk)

BRUCE BANNER

Bruce stares at you like you’re insane when you come up to him brandishing the plushie Hulk like a trophy.

Of course a second later he fixes his face to smile at you in greeting, even with his hair fluffier than usual from him having been running his hands through it so much and his smile tinged with fatigue, but his initial opinion of the plush itself still doesn’t actually improve.

For your part you remain unphased, making sure he’s not handling anything sensitive as you study the little Hulk in your hands some more before slipping behind his desk and shaking it at Bruce with a proclamation of: “It’s you!”

Bruce laughs at your antics despite the way both his brows have started furrowing, and finally reaches out for the plush.

❤︎

“And people, what? They buy these?”

“They did,” you shrug, you’re not going to sugarcoat it for Bruce. He’s likely to go looking for the distributor on his own time anyway.

Bruce goes quiet then, but it’s the type of silence from him that only half worries you. He was thinking, certainly, but not in a way that would make him spiral. At least not immediately.

“Right,” Bruce hums. He turns the little green plush over in his hands — both having come off his keyboard where he was inputting notes into his computer the moment you walked into his office. “No parent wants their child playing with a toy modeled after a proverbial natural disaster on legs, huh?”

He cracks a small lopsided grin at that, scoffing to himself. You give him a long look in response and Bruce only offers a shrug, ducking his head and reaching up to squeeze the back of his neck for a moment.

Your lips purse.

“I didn’t say that, B.”

He nods, “It’s the truth though, Y/n, I’m well aware of that.” The scientist stands from his stool, leaving the plush beside his keyboard, moving closer to you and wrapping you up in his arms. Softly, he nudges his nose with your broader one and you smile. “Plus, you’re far nicer than me. Of course you wouldn’t have said that.”

The soft, pale inside of his palm presses to your darker skin as he brings up his hand to cup over your cheek. Before you let yourself lean into his touch you give him a measured look, eyes narrowed, but Bruce doesn’t budge despite the apologetic look he’s giving you.

“Goddamnit, Bruce,” you grumble, giving into his touch after pressing a kiss to the inside of his wrist.

The corners of Bruce’s eyes crinkle. He snorts.

“For what it’s worth it’s actually pretty cute,” he looks over the Hulk plushie with a more critical eye before shrugging, “even if it’s likeness is off.”

You heave a sigh.

“It’s too cute,” you guess.

Bruce nods.

“It’s way too cute,” he confirms, the arm he still has around your waist squeezing playfully at you.

Laughing, you shake your head at him, throwing your arms around his shoulders and pressing a quick peck of a kiss to his lips.

The hand he had on your face drops from your dewy skin to join the other around your waist like a moth drawn to flame, and you grin as he shifts fast to kiss you back, his grip on you tightening.

You put a finger over his lips to keep him from chasing your mouth for more, staring at him with lidded eyes and a sly curve to your lips.

“I feel it pertinent to remind you that Hulk and you share a face, Honey.” Bruce’s eyes widen and he looks about two seconds away from pressing a hand to his chest and acting wounded. “And,” you say before he can take his hands off you, “that I happen to think you’re both plenty cute. In my humble opinion that is.”

“Oh in your ‘humble’ opinion? Is that what we’re calling it?” Bruce snorts again, but when he kisses you next it’s sweeter than it needs to be.

❤︎

Overall, Bruce doesn’t hate the plush toy, which is nice, he just doesn’t particularly care for it. Though he does raise an amused brow once he tracks down the small Brazilian factory that used to make the plushies, a small fond smile curling his lips.

In general his relationship with Hulk is a lot better than it’s been even before everything with Wanda, but post The Avengers forming (hell, after having helped create Ultron with Tony his relationship with himself is the best it’s been since), so he isn’t disgusted like he once would’ve been by the prospect of a company making Hulk plushies.

The Hulk protected him on Sakaar (even if he did a lot of other things Bruce likes less too), and saved his life during The Battle of Wakanda. Bruce could give the Big Guy his props now. Especially after he himself got to kick ass in the HulkBuster, but could still admit to himself that fighting droves of bad guys wasn’t the type of challenge he particularly enjoyed.

Bruce largely disregards the plush after your initial conversation about it. Forgets about the thing, really. When he finds you one night — after he’s been away with the team for a few days on a particularly grueling mission — curled up on the couch with the plush against your chest and your arms wrapped tight around it he finds a kind of fondness for the little Hulk, though.

Cuddling with the plush like that you cut both the most adorable and the most heartbreakingly sweet figure he’s ever seen.

When Bruce scoops you up to carry you off to y’all’s shared bedroom it’s with a small groan (Hulk’s been in charge for the better part of 72 hours, his body was all bruise and still in the process of completely healing from the prolonged transformation, his ass is exhausted), but it’s completely worth it to feel the brush of your soft kinky hair over his cheek and to have you subconsciously curl into him — Hulk plush still held tightly and smushed between both of your bodies — in your sleep.

By the time you’re both in bed you’ve started to stir awake and give him the ‘welcome home’ he always looks forward to, insistent arms locked tight around his shoulders in a hug as he squeezes you flush to him from around your waist. He still makes sure the Hulk plush doesn’t tumble to the floor in your excitement though, handing it back to you and watching with fond russet eyes as you curl up with it again while he spoons you from behind and presses sweet, longing kisses into the brown expanse of your skin.

THE HULK

Hulk is borderline insulted at first until you explain what it is.

When you first come up to him brandishing his plush lookalike you’re not expecting him to both simultaneously respond like you’re about to burn him in effigy and as if you’re betraying him by trying to replace his big green ass with a plushie, of all things, but you suppose that with his reputation and general possessiveness towards you that you should’ve expected his reaction on both accounts.

After a quick explanation, and a pat of your tiny hand over his giant one in reassurance, you’re good to go though.

Once Hulk’s certain you're not trying to replace him or hurt and piss him off, though….

…Hulk immediately hits you with a “But…people hate Hulk,” and you're so caught off guard that you just blink up at him for a few silent moments.

Hulk has your mind going haywire as you think of an answer for him — vetoing “not everyone,” as an acceptable response almost immediately at the impatient grumble he lets out at you taking so long to answer.

Hulk hears your eventual answer of: “Some people still do, yeah, but a few people definitely don’t. I don’t,” and deflates.

The Big Guy slumps forward, resting his elbow onto his thigh where he’s sitting criss-cross in front of you, so he can prop his head up with his fist as he effectively pouts. You feel horrible that you can’t give him any other answer, but that was the truth and you wouldn’t lie to him; especially when you’d be so easily disproved if the Big Guy actually showed his face anywhere.

Hulk’s public perception wasn’t completely in the gutter, with a ton of work and a good deal of care it could be salvaged some, but he definitely wasn’t trusted by the majority of the public anymore (and the trust he and Bruce did have before the incident in South Africa had been faint at best even back in the day).

❤︎

“Fine.” Hulk gives a great big huff that makes your lips quirk. “Hulk look.” He holds out his hand, and you promptly rise on the tips of your toes to place the Hulk plushie delicately in his palm.

Plush now in his free hand; he doesn’t actually move it from where you placed it, just moves his hand this way and that and gives the toy a grave amount of inspection.

“Hulk never wore purple,” he grunts after a few moments, and you laugh.

Hulk wasn’t exactly wrong though. Bruce certainly wore a lot of purple, it was his favorite color after all, but Hulk didn’t touch the color if he could help it outside of the short block of purple that lined the top sides of his uniform pants.

Hulk’s completely unphased when you lean over his thigh opposite from where he’s propping his head up so you can inspect the plush with him. Even drops his hand enough for you to be able to see it at eye level.

After a few of your own silent seconds you nod and solemnly agree that you’ve never actually seen him wear full-on purple, yes, but guess that the color is for color theory purposes as the plush was made for children and would need appealing color coding to match.

“That’s dumb,” Hulk grunts, but he leaves it at that.

He goes right back to staring at the thing in silence again and you’re perfectly content to let him, humming softly and letting yourself rest your upper body over his muscled thigh.

Hulk runs hot so you won’t stay pressed to him for too long (unless it’s cold, then you’re stuck to him like glue) but his jade skin is surprisingly soft for such a force of nature and he’s never once objected to you climbing all over him.

❤︎

Eventually you reach up to take the plush back (mostly bcs Hulk’s had enough of it and is twisting his hand sideways, so if you don’t take it, it’ll fall) and keep talking lightly with Hulk about Avengers shit and whatnot. Absentmindedly, though, you take to running your thumbs softly over the plush’s head area or through its short tufts of fake black “hair”, self soothing with the feel of the plush.

Hulk notices. Hell, Hulk points it out to you.

❤︎

“Y/n not touch Hulk like that.”

A blink.

Freezing, you pause to look down at your fidgeting hands and the soft colorful fabric beneath the pads of your fingers. Your brows furrow.

Another blink— still from you.

Only after a few more beats of silence — only broken by a grumble from the Big Guy as he shifts restlessly — do you look up and turn your blank stare onto Hulk.

Hulk, whose lips are downturned into a frown and who's also watching you like he’s half expecting you to catch a whole conniption over his words.

What you finally, eloquently, settle on saying is: “What?”

❤︎

And that’s how you end up finding out Hulk likes when you run your nails along his scalp as hard as you can (he’s got some tough ass skin, there’s no other way; and if you wear acrylics or gels they’re gonna need to be strong) and when you run gentle hands over his face. Likes it so much he falls asleep, in fact.

It’s also how you end up with literal tons worth of jade green giant lying flat on his back with his head inches away from your lap while you sit criss-cross on the plush carpet behind him with your back leant against his shoulder and hands working overtime as you essentially pet him.

Call him “handsome” while you brush his hair behind his ears and he’ll crack an eye open to drop large eyes down to look at you then grin hard enough to have you cracking up. Press kisses all over his giant cheeks and forehead and over his closed eyelids and he’ll be eating out of your palm for a week— this shit is dangerous.

Overall, after any misunderstandings have been corrected, he’s more readily forgiving of the plush than Bruce, but that’s mostly because he has the benefit of feeling flattered that you’re so eagerly snuggling with a green plushie made in his likeness even as you’re curled up by his side.

NOTES: Hope you enjoyed!!!!

Bonus scrapped scene: “Hulk not grey either” “I know, Big Guy, but copyright. The distributors probably didn’t want to get sued for using your likeness.” “Still not grey,” he grumbles, expression turning mulish and petulant. You pat him on the arm in solidarity.

I am in a fucking mood I can’t help myself, the Bruce/Hulk stuff just keeps coming.

So, yeah, I went for the alternate version of Endgame (ie: one of the deleted Hulk/Bruce scenes) and changed the story a bit so that I don’t have to deal with MCU “Smart Hulk” and so that I could have Hulk smash from the HulkBuster armor after Bruce and his back and forth where they come to an understanding (also a deleted scene), but instead of kind of erasing Hulk I’m just making it so now he and Bruce have come to an equilibrium together. I’ve also technically retconned the fuck out of Ragnarok, but I don’t go into that here.

btw: if you’d like to leave a comment I’d very much appreciate it!

Also, honestly, it bothers me (to a fictional extent) that Wanda never had to own up to or make up for what she did to Bruce and her making the conscious decision to set the Hulk off in that area of South Africa bcs she was irritated and as a distraction. We know that once Bruce came back to earth and did that ridiculous “Smart Hulk” thing that he had to rebuild his image and public perception of him and that even by She-Hulk: Attorney at Law it’s not stable enough for him to just be around the regular public as a Hulk. Even when in Endgame we see that he’s regained trust and has some amount of celebrity, his position on earth is still clearly tentative. And that’s despite being a big factor in helping save the world.

Bruce had to build himself out of that hole that Wanda dug for him and whatever legal mess and guilt that would’ve naturally followed, Hulk had to sit with that guilt and that confusion (you can see the emotions on his face right before Tony — using Veronica — knocks him out and he’s the one who leaves on the quinjet) then was subsequently erased by the narrative because the writers didn’t want to actually write a Hulk redemption arc, and Wanda got off completely scot free without having to make up for or let herself be rightfully prosecuted for destroying those South Africans’ lives, because the Hulk might not have murdered anyone but Hulk’s rampage (by its very nature) is tantamount to an impromptu natural disaster having torn through that city. A city that Wanda purposely targeted because she was mad at one man, and an infraction that she never made up for or is even seriously mentioned after AOU.

20th Century Studios-90 Years of Unforgettable Characters Tribute

Since I already did my 90 Years of 20th Century Studios pic(my special take on the famous art-deco logo with the searchlights forming a 90 in the sky,similar to Fox’s 75th Anniversary variant in 2010) three days ago on May 31st(the day the studio was founded 90 years ago). I started making and drew another pic for 20th Century Studios’(formally 20th Century Fox) 90th Anniversary,this time a huge group pic showing many of the characters(both animated and live-action) that the studio had given us over the years and those I’ve grown up with and known about in a huge anniversary tribute drawing(similar to the ones I did for Nick in 2024 for it’s 45th Anniversary and for Warner Bros and Disney for their 100th Anniversaries in 2023).

So,here is a special 90th anniversary group pic featuring most of the characters from their films,cartoons, and television shows Fox has given us over the years,some of which I picked and while many were some of my favorites growing up such as:

-The Fox Fox(the mascot of Fox Kids who appeared in several 90's bumpers for Fox Kids,he is featured on the front. Also,before Disney acquired the Fox Kids library in 2001,right before buying Fox in 2019,20th Century-Fox used to own Fox Kids and was the children's block for the Fox television network(originally owned by 20th Century Fox,but now spunoff into it's own thing in 2019 as Fox Corporation),since they produced several kids shows under the Fox's Childrens Productions/Fox Kids Worldwide unit such as Bobby's World,Digimon-Digital Monsters,Peter Pan and The Pirates, and Eek! The Cat).

-Kevin McCallister(Home Alone franchise).

-The Xenomorph(the creature from the Alien franchise)

-Predator

-Cornelius(Planet of The Apes franchise)

-Neytiri(Avatar movies)

-Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle(Terrytoons,the reason I featured them as part of the pic cause before CBS Films(later known as Viacom and Paramount Global)bought the studio in 1955,Fox was the main distributor and original force behind the original Terrytoons shorts).

-Homer and Bart Simpson(The Simpsons)

-Louise Belcher(Bob's Burgers)

-Stewie Griffin(Family Guy)

-Eek! The Cat

-Bobby Generic(Bobby's World)

-Olive(Olive The Other Reindeer)

-Bender(Futurama)

-Ron(Ron's Gone Wrong)

-Raggedy Ann and Andy(Raggedy-Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure)

-Mr.Fox(Fantastic Mr. Fox)

-Lance Sterling(Spies In Disguise)

-Horton the Elephant(Dr. Suess' Horton Hears A Who!)

-Snoopy(The Peanuts Movie)

-Scrat(Ice Age franchise)

-Rodney Copperbottom(Robots)

-Anastasia

-Maria(The Book of Life)

-C-3PO and R2-D2(Star Wars franchise,I find it funny since before Disney bought Fox in 2019,they bought the rights to the Star Wars franchise and Lucasfilm in 2012,since Fox originally distributed and co-produced the first 6 Star Wars films).

-Buffy The Vampire Slayer

-Batty Koda(Ferngully:The Last Rainforest)

-Bartok(Anastasia and Bartok The Magnificent)

-Hank Hill(King of The Hill)

-Deadpool

-Wolverine/Logan(X-Men films/Deadpool and Wolverine)

-Pupa(Solar Opposites)

-Greg Heffley(The Diary of A Wimpy Kid film trilogy)

-Necron 99/Peace(Wizards)

-Roger the Alien(American Dad)

-Blu(Rio)

I also included the logos to 20th Century Pictures,Inc. and Fox Film Corporation(two of 20th Century Studios' predecessors)and 20th Century-Fox(the original name for the studio,before after the Disney acquisition in 2019,it got renamed to 20th Century Studios),as well as the logos for The X-Files(Fox's hit science fiction series and one of their biggest TV hits) and The Fantastic Four(which Fox produced the 2005 film(and it's 2007 sequel) and later,a failed 2015 reboot,but now,Marvel Studios is bringing and rebooting the Fantastic Four into the MCU with a new film coming out next month,"The Fantastic Four:First Steps".)

Thanks for giving us a nearly a century of groundbreaking films,unforgettable characters,iconic moments,and contributing to the world of enterainment,20th Century Studios! Even if you got bought and your now under Disney now since 2019,you're still doing great and still remaining active,producing more box-office hits and making great films to this day, even doing better than what your sister studio was doing at the time(Disney with it's live-action remakes of it's original animated films and it's own Hollywood studio and Pixar now producing sequels and prequels combined with originals). I hope you do more great with Predator-Badlands and Avatar:Fire and Ash coming out later this year and your TV units(20th Television and it's TV animation unit producing adult animated shows such as The Simpsons,Family Guy,American Dad,Bob's Burgers,Solar Opposites,The Great North,and Futurama,with a King of The Hill revival coming out on Hulu on Augest 4th this year)are also doing great under Disney as well.

[kylesvariouslistsandstuff]

I just realized something... Is DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE the first R-rated Disney film to be released as... A Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures movie?

And NOT as a... 20th Century Studios, Searchlight, Touchstone, or Hollywood release?

Marvel Studios movies never open with a Disney Pictures logo, nor does such a logo appear in trailers/promo materials for those movies. The only mention of Disney as the movie's distributor, ever, is in the credits. Particularly the title card saying "Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures". You know, when the movies aren't making references to Disney movies/theme parks. (i.e. "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!")

THE AVENGERS and IRON MAN 3 were the first Disney-distributed Marvel movies, both of which opened with Paramount and Marvel Studios logos per a contractual agreement. Paramount had been distributing the MCU movies - sans 2008's THE INCREDIBLE HULK - up until the switchover. Disney bought Marvel in 2009, and distribution was out of Paramount's hands shortly thereafter, but for whatever reason, they retained their logo on those two films specifically. I guess this was because AVENGERS and IRON MAN 3 were already in development before the Disney buyout, IRON MAN 2 was already being filmed with a third one expected. THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER had yet to be released. They both debuted in mid-2011, and sequels weren't announced until after they came out. A second THOR and a second CAPTAIN AMERICA movie were Disney greenlights. Starting with THOR's sequel - THOR: THE DARK WORLD - in fall 2013, the movies would open with the Marvel Studios logo only.

That'll likely be the case with DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, though I wouldn't put it past the movie to - in an irreverent sense - have a Disney castle logo at the beginning. Deadpool narrating "Yeah, this is Disney and it's rated R! Buckle up, kids!" They already made similar jokes in that recently-released trailer.

It's really weird to think that Disney can't do R-rated "Disney" movies.

Other studios/companies don't have that problem. Universal, Warner Bros., Paramount, etc. It's all part of the collection for them. With Universal, the Minions can co-exist with Michael Myers. In Paramount-land, Dora the Explorer can share the space with Ghostface. For Disney, it was always through alternate names like Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures, or through whole-ass studios like 20th Century Studios, Searchlight, and Miramax.

Nowadays, Hulu is essentially merged with Disney+, and Disney+ houses plenty of R-rated things. That is, of course, if you are using an adult profile. But even in the theme parks, like for example - The Great Movie Ride, that had a whole section devoted to ALIEN. And that was before Disney bought 20th Century Studios and the ALIEN franchise. And Disney films have referenced R-rated things, before. It's kinda weird, really... Disney... A person's SURNAME, associated with strictly family-friendly stuff.

After Disney created the Touchstone Pictures banner in 1984, it seemed unlikely that they would ever do a PG-13 movie. They stuck with G and PG, and some of those PG movies had a special Walt Disney Pictures logo at the start of them, too. A black background with blue serif text... No castle. But then lo and behold, in 2003, they released PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL... Since then, not counting Marvel and Star Wars movies, they've released 14 more - many of which being PIRATES sequels or theme park adaptations - in addition to a filmed HAMILTON performance on Disney+.

So... It kinda begs the question... Could Disney possibly just go all-in for the first time... and release an R-rated movie?

The MPAA rating system was created in 1968. Disney in 1968 were already concerned with being family-friendly. Proudly so. That shift began to take place back when Disneyland was opening in the mid-1950s, when Walt Disney was transforming the enterprise's image. What was once the trailblazing, sometimes edgy studio was now a family entertainment company. A show on TV every Sunday, a theme park for kids of all ages, and movies that played to mothers. (To Walt's estimation: Mothers took their families to movies, and also told their friends, and their friends told their friends-) It was to the point where Walt himself was frustrated. When he had seen TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, he stated he wished he could've overseen a movie like that...

So, Disney stayed in the family-friendly corner after Walt's passing in 1966 and after the creation of the rating system two years later. The 1970s was a period of auteur-driven films, challenging pictures that upended the status quo, brought heavy topics and themes to the table, shocked audiences even... Disney was mostly making movies like THE BAREFOOT EXECUTIVE and GUS. All G-rated affairs, and following tried and true formulas. Interestingly, when preparing the 1950 classic TREASURE ISLAND for re-release in 1975, Disney weren't too pleased when the picture received a PG rating for its violence... So, they recut it to get a G rating. That's how it ran in 1975 in theaters, and interestingly that was the only version that was available on video until 1992.

It took Disney over a decade to make a PG movie of their own (THE BLACK HOLE in 1979, not counting their distribution of the independent movie TAKE DOWN earlier that year), back when the rating actually meant what it meant. After being launched in 1984, Touchstone was largely meant for PG-13 and R-rated affairs, with the occasional PG movie here and there. For every SPLASH and DICK TRACY, there was a BLACK CAULDRON or HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS. So it was kinda on-and-off there, it depended on the content and tone of the movies, I suppose.

Then it took Disney 19 years to make a PG-13 "Disney movie"...

I guess for an R-rated "Disney movie" to work... Tweak the Disney logo so that it doesn't appear all family-friendly in that distinctive font? Don't have the logo appear anywhere on promo materials? Come up with a Touchstone-esque name for Disney movies that get the R-rating? What the hell would you call that anyways, haha. Can it even be feasibly done without unsuspecting parents taking their kids to see it?

If it ever happens, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

"Spider-Man 4: New Home, New Life" MCU movie idea

While "Spider-Man Homecoming 4" is already in development, I have a couple of good ideas for what can be done, even if some of my ideas from this concept do find its way into the film, or in its 5th and/or 6th entry.

TITLE

"Spider-Man 4: New Home, New Life"

PRODUCTION COMPANIES

Columbia Pictures

Marvel Studios

Pascal Pictures

DISTRIBUTOR

Sony Pictures Releasing

RATING

Obviously, PG-13, moving on.

ROUGH STORY IDEA

(Some parts of this story may not be perfect, but this is all I got. If anyone has additional suggestions, feel free to comment.)

PROLOGUE

After the Columbia Pictures logo, we see Mac Gargan released from prison as he plots his revenge against Spider-Man for the ferry incident from the first movie.

OPENING TITLES

"Columbia Pictures presents"

"A Pascal Pictures Production"

"A Marvel Studios Production"

"Spider-Man 4: New Home, New Life"

MAIN STORY

After the title is revealed, we see Peter fighting crime in his new homemade suit from the end of "Spider-Man 3: No Way Home". As Peter restarts his life over as Spider-Man, he’s also struggling to keep up with his rent following his decision to let go of Aunt May, MJ, and Ned. The next morning, Peter starts his new college life at Empire State University. During his orientation, Peter would get a new set of friends like Johnny Storm (who would later go on to be The Human Torch), Felicia Hardy, and the MCU version of Eddie Brock. Peter and Johnny end up becoming roommates, Felicia attends the same science classes as Peter, and we also learn that Peter takes digital photography classes with Eddie. The whole class is given a project which will be due at a certain date, and whoever's project ends up in the Top 5 (or 10) will be displayed for future generations of students who walk down the halls (This will also play an important part in this story).

After J. Jonah Jameson finishes his latest video blog for TheDailyBugle.net, Mac Gargan steps in asking for a proposal to hunt down Spider-Man. JJJ hires Gargan, and they go to a lab run by Dr. Farley Stillwell. Stillwell shows Mac the Scorpion armor he’s been working on and uses Mac as a test subject. The only thing he overlooked is being able to take the suit off. Once Mac Gargan is fused into his Scorpion suit, Gargan goes on a violent rampage through New York, with Jameson fearing how he created a monster.

That night, Peter suits up and tries to take on the Scorpion, but the Scorpion is beating him to a pulp. What makes things more interesting is the fact that Scorpion's suit is bulletproof. Peter could end up getting impaled by Scorpion's tail, and Mac would have Peter pinned in a tight spot where he could kill Peter, but Spidey would be rescued by a woman with silver hair, a black mask, and a black jumpsuit with long white gloves and boots. This is Black Cat. She uses her whip on Scorpion's tail and could defeat him. Spidey would thank Black Cat for saving his life, and we learn that Black Cat knows Peter's identity. She introduces herself as Felicia Hardy, and we learn that sometime either before or after the events of “Spider-Man 3: No Way Home, Felicia is a huge fan of Spider-Man (making her one of the few people to not be affected by Doctor Strange's spell). While Peter questions the get-up, Black Cat gives Peter her contact information, reminding Peter she's a few dorms away (reference to Bo Peep’s line, “I’m just a couple of blocks away” from “Toy Story”).

When Peter gets back to his apartment, Peter gets a nightmare from the poison Scorpion gave him. In it, the dream could have something like MJ being taken from him by someone else. And Ned Leeds being the Hobgoblin, who doesn’t show mercy to Peter. As Peter tries to chase after Ned, Peter's feet are stuck in some big giant tar pit. Peter would slowly sink into the tar like he's standing in quicksand, and Peter wakes up horrified, only to see his homemade suit is now black. Peter would start to hear Venom’s voice and would introduce himself to Peter. Peter learns from the symbiote what abilities he didn’t know that symbiote had like unlimited webbing and the ability to instantly heal Peter whenever he’s scarred and bruised (basically, whatever powers the SSU Venom was capable of to begin with). Over time, Peter starts to become more and more attached to the symbiote, to the point where he merges into Peter's clothes so he'll always have it on him.

(I haven't thought up much here, but I figured I could just skip to the climax.)

On the day digital photography projects are due for the judges and professors to see, the judges and professors observe each digital photography project like panoramas, collages, and even a group of images that make the late Stan Lee’s head. Eddie’s project seems to gain a following among the observers and feel they have a winner on their hands for the #1 spot. However, before the judges make their final decision, Peter speaks up and exposes Eddie’s project for false information about Spider-Man, leaving the judges and digital photography professor mortified. Eddie's project is disqualified, and Eddie fails the semester, forcing him to clean out his dorm room and never return to ESU.

With Scorpion still running amok on the streets, and J. Jonah blaming himself for creating Scorpion, Peter decides to fight Scorpion with his symbiote suit. Peter learned from Scorpion’s last encounter, and thanks to the symbiote, he’s able to overthrow Scorpion, with Scorpion now in Peter’s place. With Peter holding Scorpion’s tail and preparing to kill him with it, the symbiote suddenly shows Peter a memory. Peter can hear (or see, depending on your view) a flashback of Tony Stark telling Peter, “If you’re nothing without this suit, then you shouldn’t have it. What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? Because that’s on you!”. Then another flashback would show Aunt May saying “You have a gift. You have power. And with great power, there must also come great responsibility”. Then another flashback where Andrew Garfield's Peter saying "At some point, I just... I stopped pulling my punches. I got rageful. I got bitter. I just don't want you... to end up like... like me.". Depending on the number flashbacks that would be shown, Peter would come around by impaling Scorpion's tail into the ground, leaving him for the police and sparing his life.

As Peter reflects on the selfish choices he made by wearing that symbiote, and the fact that he almost was about to kill Scorpion, Peter decides he needs to take the symbiote off. Instead of the normal route where Peter uses a church's bell tower, I was thinking that instead, Peter could enter a science lab and try mixing random chemicals to get the symbiote off him. Nothing works until Peter accidentally creates a fiery explosion, which scares the symbiote and melts off of Peter. Luckily, Peter was able to remove the symbiote before the sprinklers went off. The symbiote escapes through air vent and Peter makes it back to his dorm room before getting caught by security.

To properly end the movie, Peter would be able to attend Johnny's graduation, with Peter introduced to Johnny's sister, Susan. Susan would give Peter Reed Richards' contact information, as it would be hinted that Reed is Susan's fiancee. As for Peter and Felicia's relationship, now that Peter had learned to let go of the past, Peter would now be dating Felicia.

POST CREDITS SCENE(s)

The first post credits scene would have the symbiote fall through an air duct that leads to MCU Eddie's dorm room. The symbiote would land on MCU Eddie, and we would get a proper MCU introduction to Venom.

Another post credits scene would reveal the establishment of the Fantastic Four before they got their powers. And depending on which sequel for "Spider-Man Homecoming" or "The Fantastic Four" happens, Spider-Man should make an appearance as an additional ally.

CASTING CHOICES

As far as the new characters, I imagined that for Felicia Hardy, Sabrina Carpenter could portray her as herself and as Black Cat. As far as Venom is concerned, Tom Hardy would be able to reprise his voice role given his appearance as SSU Eddie Brock and Venom appear in the first post-credits scene for "Spider-Man 3: No Way Home".

Projections have THE GARFIELD MOVIE opening somewhere in the $20-30m range for the three-day, and somewhere over $30m for the 4-day.

In other words, it's opening like a typical post-COVID breakout animated movie. Unless you were the Mario movie, MINIONS 2, or few other films, you stayed below $30-35m for the three-day opening. For context:

$146m - THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE

$120m - SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE

$107m - MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU

$57m - KUNG FU PANDA 4

$50m - LIGHTYEAR

The five half-hundred openers. And then... Other big studio Western animated movie (and in some cases, hybrid)... Squarely below $35m:

$33m - IF

$31m - SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY

$30m - TROLLS BAND TOGETHER

$29m - ELEMENTAL

$28m - MUTANT MAYHEM

$27m - ENCANTO

$23m - THE BAD GUYS

$23m - DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS

$22m - PAW PATROL: THE MIGHTY MOVIE

$22m - SING 2

$19m - WISH

$17m - THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2

$16m - THE BOSS BABY: FAMILY BUSINESS

$14m - TOM & JERRY

$13m - PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE

$12m - MIGRATION

$12m - PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH

$12m - STRANGE WORLD

So, yeah, THE GARFIELD MOVIE is performing as usual. It curiously has a B+ CinemaScore, when usually, an animated picture - no matter the reviews - gets an A- minimum. I still expect it to leg up until INSIDE OUT 2 is released, and make back its fair $60m budget.

Director Mark Dindal deserves a big hit after three movies that didn't quite cut it at the box office. CATS DON'T DANCE was dumped by Warner Bros. and made soooo little in 1997, THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE was similarly dumped by Disney but had the fortune of garnering excellent legs that might not have covered its budget, but it showed that Disney had a sleeper hit on their hands... and then there were the subsequent great video sales that probably un-flopped it a year later. CHICKEN LITTLE barely made the grade. Dindal hadn't directed since, the closest he got was with DreamWorks' unmade ME AND MY SHADOW. Dindal would be replaced by Alessandro Carloni on that film, and then DreamWorks nerfed it altogether. (Though they did briefly revive it as SHADOWS, courting Edgar Wright to direct at one point!)

So, yeah, I'm rooting for Garfield! For Dindal! I'll be seeing the movie in about a week or so.

As for the other side of this weekend's box office coin... FURIOSA:

I want to point out... A lot of people are seemingly confused as to why FURIOSA isn't breaking out... Thus making for a pretty small Memorial Day box office long-weekend...

When were the MAD MAX movies ever these massive blockbusters here in America?

The first film was barely released theatrically in North America, lost in the midst of its domestic distributor - American International Pictures - being acquired. The film's breakout success in its home country, Australia, was really what lead to sequels. MAD MAX 2, released as THE ROAD WARRIOR stateside, did fairly well but wasn't among 1982's biggest movies. MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME, thought to be the most Hollywoodized of the movies, also did okay enough. Again, nowhere near the edge of the Top 10. I reckon for most people my age, FURY ROAD was their first MAD MAX movie. It certainly was mine, and then I went and blind-bought the other three movies thereafter.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD opened with a fair $45m back in 2015, and went on to gross $380m worldwide against a $150-180m budget. Barely 2 1/2x that price tag if it was $150m, so I guess it just made it. Enough for more movies to be made at least, as Tom Hardy was signed on to reprise his role as Max Rockatansky for at least a few more films. A fifth movie proper is in development, apparently... But, yeah... $380m. Good gross, but not... Let's see, STAR WARS or MCU-sized. Not DUNE: PART TWO nor RISE/DAWN/WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, for fellow sci-fi comparisons...

And nor did it need to be... There's more a gnarly, punk-like edge to these movies anyways.

Which is why I did not expect FURIOSA to make that much more than FURY ROAD, especially since it's about a younger Furiosa and it's a prequel. Having not seen the movie due to circumstances (I'm gonna aim for it this coming Friday), I've also heard that it's way different from FURY ROAD, which was more or less a two-hour car chase that barely lets up. This apparently, at 2 1/2 hours long, is more in line with the classic MAD MAX movies. There's some vehicular action that really delivers, but the bulk of it is a lot of atmosphere and long stretches that really souses us into the wasteland world of the series.

One of my pals actually compared it to director George Miller's previous film, THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING... And... Uh, if it's really anything like that film, it's going to be interesting to see how it holds up in the coming weeks. THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING is a curious film that I didn't particularly enjoy much, but it's very cool that a $60m movie that appears to be Miller - in his 70s - pondering and reflecting on the art of storytelling and the big mosaic of it all even exists. Now to see that applied to a massive budget action movie in an iconic sci-fi franchise? Even cooler. That's what you call taking a BIG SWING. If MAD MAX 5 happening hinges on this movie's success, I really hope it defies the odds.

So THE GARFIELD MOVIE doesn't have a massive bar to clear, and it's already over $50m worldwide thanks to opening in a few territories beforehand. Should make back the budget easily. Only needs to clear $150m to do that. Legs would really have to be bad in order for it to not do so. FURIOSA is the one I'm concerned about, as that cost $168m to make. If that closes the door on future Wasteland movies, then that will suck big time. Fingers crossed for both.

"Casper" CGI movie idea

While "Casper" is already planning to be revived with a live action series on Peacock, I had another idea for what DreamWorks can do with "Casper the Friendly Ghost".

PRODUCTION COMPANIES

Illumination

DreamWorks Animation

DISTRIBUTOR

Universal Pictures

RATING

Probably PG

ANIMATION

The film would be entirely computer animated.

ROUGH STORY IDEAS

In terms of a movie, I don't know what it can be, let alone what it should be called, but I do have a rough basis for what can be done (which you can also read about by clicking here).

FIRST MOVIE

I was thinking for a change, Casper could befriend an emo teenager with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. But when Casper comes into his/her life, Casper shows the emo that suicide is a bad idea and that there's so much to live for. And by the end of the film after some misunderstanding, the emo decides to jump off a building. While the emo is scared at first, the emo closes his/her eyes and just jumps for it. And in slow motion, a quiet piano score plays in the background as the emo is about to crash into the pavement, but like in the movie, "Shazam!", just when you think the emo committed suicide, we cut from black to reveal the emo floating a few inches off the concrete, only to reveal Casper saved the teenager.

SECOND MOVIE

If the first movie is successful enough to warrant a sequel, I was thinking that the emo could make a new friends who wants to be an indie filmmaker, but fails to understand the difference between reality and fiction (ex. The emo's friend thinking Casper is a hologram.)

At one point, I was also thinking Kibosh would be introduced by if the emo had found his world somehow. And when the emo meets Kibosh for the first time, he/she asks him to scare him and take his/her life away. Kibosh, even though he would want to do that reveals that he can't, because ghosts are meant to scare people, not kill them to death. Kibosh would even sympathize with the emo, who has had a tragic life, and would make the emo vow never to expose his world, or the humans would destroy all ghost life. This would serve as an important plot point if this sequel ever happened.

I don't have much of a story here, but this is all I got.

CASTING CHOICES

On one hand, I was thinking Joe Nipote and Brad Garrett could reprise their roles as Stretch and Fatso. On the other hand, I had some ideas for my own casting choices for the Ghostly Trio. For Stretch, I was thinking Max Casella (best known for voicing Daxter in the "Jak and Daxter" series) could voice him. For Stinkie, I've debated on whether Max Casella should voice him or if Lin-Manuel Miranda should voice him. And for Fatso, I was thinking John C. Reilly could voice him, or as of recently, Seth Rogen.

For the voice of Kibosh, I with thinking Josh Brolin should voice him. This is based on the fact that he can do intimidating roles like Thanos for the MCU, and I honestly think his Thanos voice would be perfect for the voice of Kibosh. And while Kibosh would still be marketed as a villain, I actually wanted him to be depicted as an anti-villain who would show a soft side to living souls who were neglected and abused (which are considered crimes or felonies in real life).

MUSIC

I would choose Danny Elfman for providing the score for the CG film series, mainly since composing horror themes is his forte.
