“Monkey Man” was shot and completed in 2021, and Netflix soon after acquired the rights for around $30 million, but it’s been on the shelf for three years and they‘ve all of a sudden decided to get rid of it? What gives? It turns out, according to an in-the-know source, that it was the portrayal of a fictional right-wing Hindu Nationalist character in the film that worried Netflix about their future dealings in India. And even though they had paid more than twice the production cost, they decided to give the film back to the producers, which is what caused the long delay. Universal and Peele eventually took a particular liking to the film, so much so that they suggested possible editing changes and delayed the release until what they thought would be the right date. It’s as simple as that. In the end, it was all about politics and optics for the streaming giant, especially since India has become the current top growth market for Netflix. Co-Founder Reed Hastings has mentioned that a majority of the service's next 100 million subscribers would most likely come from India.

Universal/Jordan Peele's "suggested possible editing changes" in question:

THIS is exactly what I want. They are friends! They love each other’s company! They can giggle like little kids together! BECAUSE THEY ARE FRIENDS THAT LOVE EACH OTHER! God I hope there’s more of this in season 3!

Also I don’t know who made this gif so if you did or know who did please let me know and I’ll gladly credit!

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops

can't trust the words behind the fangs 🐍🎭 a doodle with my take on his mask :3c

[burrito-fight]

the thing with being a book fan who watches the show, and also reads fics, is that i never know who the author is talking about until they namedrop. the other day, i was reading a fic where one of the hermes campers had blond hair and blue eyes and my first thought was "oh so they're using book!luke's description, it's been a while since i read one of those"

GUYS IT WAS PERCY

IT WAS WALKER AS PERCY BEFORE BEING CLAIMED 💀💀

Peter B admitting to Miles that the non stop tragedies and losses shaping their stories are hard, harsh, and , knowing they can do something about it, cruel even. Then saying the GOOD aspects essentially outshine them. But that's not true. That's a classic toxic positivity line, used to justify shitty, unequal politics. " But at least we have this one good thing" WE CAN HAVE THAT GOOD THING AND NOTHING ELSE. WE AREN'T MADE TO BE IN PAIN, AND PAIN SHOULDN'T MAKE A HERO.

What Miguel doesn't understand is they don't owe the world suffering.

haha hey so apparently someone stole my whole fic... copy and pasted except for tiny things changed... here is the link to their """fic""" (sorry random person I had to steal the reblog from). they've since deleted the fic off their blog + deleted their ao3 + gone on a hiatus so..... that's cool and whatever....... but they have written a lot of other shit so... don't be a dick but maybe check that for funny business too...

i love (one) pathetic little god man and the queen turned goddess whom is almost certainly more powerful than him

[indelicateink]

as an american, sam reid’s total inability to hide his contempt for overly fake-chipper american journalists, especially ones who Have Not Done The Assigned Reading know and care about the show, will never not be hilarious and iconic to me

Ok, so I know the update came out literal seconds ago so it’s probably a liiiittle weird to already post about it but hear me out

I already know my favourite panel in this update because look

Hyrule’s like the little guy wants to talk to you! Which is great but I look at wild and he just looks so scared

I’m just imagining he’s thinking “but I’m terrified of the little guy now”

Imagine getting laughed at live on stream 

Sausage: ¡Hola, buenos días!

Jimmy: ¡Hola, Señor Chorizo!

Sausage: (dismayed) Ay, coño, que mi-- Ay, Dios mío.

Jimmy: (speaking English) Guys, Sausage is Cuban, by the way. Everything’s fine.

Sausage: (overlapping) Yeah, I’m Cuban!

Jimmy: (continued) Everything’s good, everything’s fine... 

Sausage: (yelling) Yeah, this is not cultural appropriation! Did you know somebody said I was culturally appro-pria-zing--

Jimmy: (laughing) I... Someone...

Sausage: (continued) My own-- my own race! And background-- ethnicity! Did you hear that?

Jimmy: Someone-- Was it a tweet...?

Sausage: Somebody literally said: stop--

Jimmy: Was it a tweet or a comment?

Sausage: It was a comment on one of my videos because--!

Jimmy: Someone commented to Sausage, chat, saying... 

Sausage: (giggles)

Jimmy: Saying Sausage’s whole thing was cultural... what was the word?

Sausage: Cultural appropriation! (fumbles) O-of my own people! They were like... “Stop speaking Spanish and putting Latin music in your videos! You’re appro-pria-zing... some other culture!” I was like what’s wrong with you, people?

Jimmy: It-- The-- the guy’s Cuban!

Sausage: That made me mad but...

Jimmy: He can-- he--

Sausage: I’m Cuban! ¡Yo soy latino! I didn’t just learn Spanish yesterday like Jimmy did!

Jimmy: It-- True! I just word-- learned the word “chorizo”!

Sausage: ¡Chorizo!

Jimmy: I didn’t know it! Didn’t know it!

Sausage: (angrily) Muchas gracias.
