(Parody) Warner Brothers announces separate Cartoon Network streaming service

Warner Brothers joins the Streaming War!

With over 10 million subscription services available to consumers, Cartoon Network joins the fray.

Warner Brothers, which owns Cartoon Network, announced the release date for their new streaming service, humbly titled “Cartoon Network + Boomerang,” a direct reference to Disney’s streaming service, “Disney+”, which launched on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

“We are pleased to announce our latest streaming service,” a Cartoon Network spokesman stated. “By 2022, no one else will be able to stream our animated TV series like ‘Scooby Doo,’ ‘Rick and Morty,’ ‘Thundercats,’ ‘Jonny Quest’ or ‘Samurai Jack’ ever again.

“This way hard-core fans don’t have to scroll through endless rows of animated shows to find our live-action films,” A Warner Brothers spokesperson said. “Now, consumers will have to pay a separate subscription to view all our kids-oriented shows.”

 “Cartoon Network + Boomerang” is a streaming service separate from AT&T’s WarnerMedia streaming service, which owns Warner Brothers. It is expected to feature most of Warner Brothers’ animated shows and films, most notably the entire collection of “Scooby Doo” animated films.

It is unclear if the live-action/cartoon feature film “Space Jam” will be on the Cartoon Network streaming service, as that film is disputed as an animated film or a sports film.

Unfortunately for fans and audiences, DC Comics TV shows like “Justice League,” “Batman: The Animated Series” and “Young Justice” will still be stuck on the “DC Universe” streaming service.

At publishing time, Disney purchased Cartoon Network from Warner Brothers and will release all of that channel’s animated series onto Disney+ in 2021.

“The Disney Empire—I mean, Disney has won a major victory in quality entertainment for the people,” Disney CEO Bob Iger told reporters before donning a hooded black cloak.

The rights to “Looney Toons” and “Scooby Doo” are currently in dispute between the two media companies.

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...

Life and Persecution: Some so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated

(This article was originally published on January 20, 2018) The Roman Catholic Church has seen its share of good and bad times. Yet the Catholic Church has survived for over 2,000 years, from the persecution by the Roman Empire to the rise and fall of Communism.  Yesterday, January 19, young Catholic men and women across the United States joined tens of thousands of other young adults in the 45th March for Life. Even those who were unable to march continue to support the pro-life cause and live their Catholic faith everyday of their lives. All of these men and women—Catholics, Christians, and non-Christians alike—showed our country that there are plenty of Millennials stand up for the unborn and want to end legalized abortion in the United States. Catholics should be proud of their heritage as Catholics and to call themselves Catholic. They are part of the majority of lay people who really do their best to live and practice their Catholic faith. But ...
