You're part of a machine, you are not a human being.

++ There is going to be a Van Helsing series, re-imagined with a female lead premiering on Syfy next year. Granted, I'm bitter and disappointed with them cancelling Defiance alongside the many other shows they have dismissed over the years, but women replacing male-led franchises? Yes, more of this please.

++ As he is in the comics, Deadpool is reportedly going to be pansexual in the film. I hope it holds true, since it'll be fantastic seeing proper representation of other sexualities that aren't straight or gay in mainstream media, especially on the big screen.

++ Many are probably aware of this emotional video that was uploaded back in 2012. I only knew about it since saw it reblogged all over Tumblr around that time, and it really got to me, as I'm sure it did everyone else. It was an effective video that made you care about sentiment machines and how you shouldn't play god with making and then destroying them. At the time it was just a short demo for something that would be later created. Well, something has come out of it now, as a new video game called Detroit Become Human will be launched soon. I'm really getting a Humans vibe from it, which is probably the point, and quite frankly I'm a sucker for anything that deals with sentient machines becoming their own person.

I prefer stories focused on Dracula rather than on Helsing, so we'll see. All in all, I'm not big on stories about vampire hunters or witch hunters or any other kind of hunters where the supernatural beings are just there to be slaughtered. But it can also be so much more than that, like BtVS was.

I really hope they do something good with Deadpool and not just some vague text close to subtext.

Oh, I remember that video. The new one is really great as well. Thanks for the links.

That would be amazing, if it turned it to be as such. Because one of the things I loved about BTVS was as it went along, the universe expanded to all the supernatural beings and not all of them were dangerous and were just minding their own business and living their lives. Buffy and her friends even befriended some of them and they helped every now and then. Now I don't know much about Van Helsing, but it would be fantastic if the re-imagined version would have a mixture of that as well.

Yeah, this is why I'm hesitantly optimistic. They can give lip service all they want, but how it's presented on the screen is what matters.
