Ms. Marvel (2022)
I found myself disinterested after a few episodes
This seems more like a vehicle to add diversity into the MCU and culture rather than good storytelling.
Iman Vellani is a new actress and her inexperience is noticeable. Her deliveries are wooden at times and over the top in others. I get the perceived need to be inclusive and the addition of a South Asian superhero female kills two birds with one stone. What Marvel really needs to do is revise the X-Men and the diversity problems are solved. There is absolutely no reason they couldnt revise an existing hero into an indian/Pakistani character. So you have Storm black, Collossus russian, Gambit cajun, Jubilee chinese, Nightcrawler romanian, Wolverine canadian, and many others. Diversity check. Huge library of adventures and crossovers check.
Bluetoes, the Christmas Elf (1988)
Little One
Actually the Elf, before he was "christened" Blue Toes by Santa, was referred to as Little One. I was a production employee on this short TV production and I can tell you that this was a tremendous challenge to the animators and the paint department. There were several modifications done to the colors and to the animation to minimize the color problems involved in this film. Also keep an eye out for the misplaced Penguin (residents of Antarctica not north pole) and the mischievous Polar Bear. I really liked working on this production and it is a shame that more of us lowly production workers were not mentioned in the credits...I have a few names to submit to IMDb to try and rectify this situation but in the meantime: Florence Bach, our boss, David Bickerton, Carl "Jello" Vallieres, Guy Daw, Mae Clifford, Mitsuko Jones, Charmaine Ladd, and so many more...peace out guys I miss you all and it was a blast working with ya!
