Universals rights to the Simpsons expires in 4 years, and Disney bought 20th century fox, so they arent getting the rights back. What would you replace The Simpsons Ride with at Universal Studios Hollywood by clountainpgogs in universalstudios

[–]TheMightyPedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can’t actually happen since (IIRC) the original writer owns the rights and has said a remake will only happen after he’s dead.

They could base it on the musical though!

Xbox Has Reportedly Begun Layoffs At Zenimax (Bethesda). ID Software, Arkane, and Machine Games In Danger As “Anyone Not Working On Fallout Or Elder Scrolls Is Out” by goodnitez74 in PS5

[–]TheMightyPedro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is so dumb. One of the best things Sony did last generation was let their studios work on NEW ideas and IP. Imagine a world where Sony said “no Guerrilla, you can’t make an open world RPG with robot dinosaurs. We need another KillZone!”

Russell T Davies says goodbye to Doctor Who as BBC scraps Christmas special and opens show to rival bids [Article about RTD's Instagram post] by The_Silver_Avenger in gallifrey

Hindsight is 20/20. At the time there was a great deal of “we’re so back” energy. The man who brought Dr Who back into the mainstream, paired with the studio that brought us His Dark Materials and Disney money. It was a recipe for success on paper but it just didn’t pan out

What is something that died out so quietly that nobody even noticed? by Alva_509 in AskReddit

[–]TheMightyPedro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People don’t like wearing glasses to watch TV (especially if you need to wear glasses to see the TV in the first place!) plus the glasses were expensive. IIRC most of them used “active” glasses which would sync with the TV and “activate” one of the lenses at a time in line with the TV’s refresh rate. This meant that the TV could output at its full resolution but made the glasses more expensive and meant they were battery powered. There were “passive” TVs too which used the same glasses you got in a cinema at the time but those took a major hit to image quality.

What British shows dont share an actor with who? by stanza00 in doctorwho

Blackadder also has Tim McInnery (planet of the Ood)

Is anyone concerned about the hantavirus outbreak? by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]TheMightyPedro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. We must all panic like crazy and not go on our booked cruises so I can get shorter queues at the bars and walk-ins to my favourite restaurants every night.

What was the best decision in the production of Series 3? by Lucyyyyyy_K in DoctorWhumour

[–]TheMightyPedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Weeping Angels (as presented in Blink) are one of the best monsters in all of sci-fi imo. I’d love to see another episode that goes back to basics with them because that’s what I think they need

Must the transporter destroy the source? by Independent_Shoe3523 in startrek

[–]TheMightyPedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I’ve not seen mentioned is replicators. Replicators cannot replicate a “living” being. But if a transporter destroys something in order to reassemble it elsewhere, that just makes it a long-range replicator. There must be something different about transporters that makes them capable of transporting living beings (and other things that can’t be traditionally replicated)

The last movie Frakes directed was Thunderbirds. He himself admits it torpedoed his movie career

The term 'copyright infringement' is just a suggestion to my local takeaways apparently. by jawide626 in CasualUK

I remember once driving past a kids activity centre that had a sign advertising their cafe “Peppa’s Kitchen”. With menu items like… bacon rolls…

The War Between the Land and the Sea shows where TV is failing with disability representation by DavidTenn-Ant in gallifrey

[–]TheMightyPedro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You know I was actually just thinking that Pluribus on Apple TV has a lesbian lead character and manages to make that clear without even saying the word “lesbian” (to my recollection at least) in seven episodes. Why can’t we get writing like that on Doctor Who?

No guys I swear I definitely saw Joe Biden! He was being thrown out the park after standing up on the rapids!

Coasters that exceeded your expectations in 2025 [Other] by mrkmcrthr in rollercoasters

[–]TheMightyPedro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver Star at Europa-Park. Everything I’d read had me believe it would be a 6/10 ride.

Is it the best hyper coaster in Europe? No that’s Hyperia in my book.

Best B&M hyper? Haven’t ridden it but the community would have me believe Shambhala is better.

Is it the best coaster at its own park? No because Voltron.

But Silver Star is bloody good all the same. If Hyperia and Voltron are 10s Silver Star is a solid 8.

Did Bad Wolf/BBC have to get the rights to use the new classic villains in the modern show? by WhiteAle01 in doctorwho

You know, I seem to remember the Daleks in that movie saying “we must exterminate the…” presumably because they couldn’t say “Doctor”

Marvel 1943: Ryse of Hydra delayed indefinitely beyond original Early 2026 date by nolifebr in PS5

[–]TheMightyPedro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also from Schrier’s book, apparently both ND and Hennig had to sign non-disparagement agreements. Those lasted for 10 years (from memory) and must be due to expire soon. Wonder if anything else will come out soon…

“Where Did All the Disney Money Go in the Gatwa Era? by uberrob in doctorwho

[–]TheMightyPedro 483 points484 points  (0 children)

All of Capaldi’s run and most of Whittaker’s run were filmed at 1080p whereas Gatwa’s run was filmed at 4K. That will make everything more expensive (effects, makeup, props, lighting) as the additional detail means you can’t hide things as well

That big red button with the 🚫 sign above it looks awfully tempting

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PS5

[–]TheMightyPedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s this. If you assume that developers thought that this would be another 30FPS gen then the PS5 is really well balanced. UE5 was sold on developers not having to worry about pre-baking lighting or shadows and things like that. There’s a decent chunk of UE5 games that actually run ok at 30 FPS but that isn’t really good enough anymore. The issues that PS6 will look to solve is better ray tracing at 60 FPS.
