Seriously. All of their faces look like five year olds. Even the Misfits. Congratulations on body diversity or whatever but why did that mean nose bridges and cheekbones had to die?

Archived 4chan thread w/ comic pages. I like the alt covers better than any of the other art.

2016: Jem, with Willow Smith

I never realized Willow has her father's face until I googled images of her to see if she would make an okay Shana.

I wish they had just involved Christy Marx.

It might never see release. That movie has been in the can for months now and as far as I know it still doesn't have a release date. They just missed the post Christmas/ Pre-Summer time frame where they push a lot of these movies they aren't sure about...so they'll probably hold off till the sept-nov area to throw this one out if they ever do.

They picked the lightest skinned mixed African American they could find for Shana.

It just so happens she's the daughter of Michael from Lost.

I was thinking more like Willow as Jem. You know, cause the Smiths don't give a shit at all

Don't forget the half-white Aja. BLEH. I would've loved an Arden Cho-type to have that part instead.

Rama · « **Reply #14 on:** Apr 02, 2015, 02:21:22 PM »

The chick that is playing Aja also played Velma in some direct to DVD Scoby Doo movies too.

Looking at that first picture and all I can think is "Oh god, they're doing the Jpop idol thing..."

Also, token minority character is token. (yes I know the original series had her too, still...)

B E C K · « **Reply #19 on:** Jun 14, 2015, 08:31:20 AM »

Which "token" minority, dude? The black chick or the Asian chick? Or the Latino Jem's in love with? Or the Latina they add to the band later? Just saying.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 14, 2015, 09:33:25 PM »

So are you telling me they discriminate against other-kins?

B E C K · « **Reply #21 on:** Jun 16, 2015, 11:52:36 AM »

I'm going to refer to this comic as Tumblr!Jem.

I meant the black woman. I thought the other three were all Caucasian.
Horray for representing different ethnic groups, but I still think it looks like nauseatingly happy J-pop.

No, they'll all whine about the patriarchy and male privilege rape culture, and make shitty fanfics and rule 34 pr0n.

Rama · « **Reply #24 on:** Jun 19, 2015, 10:14:16 AM »

I saw the movie poster for Jem last time I was at the theater. It wasn't really all that outrageous at all.

joe · « **Reply #25 on:** Jul 06, 2015, 05:54:42 PM »

So as an apples and oranges exercise, what's worse, new Jem or new Sailor Moon?

Did anyone watch the new Sailor Moon? I forced myself to sit through the first episode and I thought it was just awful. It's this new thing that's not even as good as the old thing!

Where's aDam? I need to hear his thoughts now.

Sorry about the derailment. I'm aware of this Jem thing, but I was never really big on Jem in the first place so it doesn't bother me much. When you think about it though, it's kind of just following the trend. Remember when we were kids most of the characters in our cartoons and comics were all grown men and women? Now they're all teens or younger. It's not that surprising.

I've been watching SMC, mainly since my niece loves it and I do what she tells me.

I barely remember Jem from my childhood.

As if you don't know all about the influence of adorable children. Personally there's not enough blood & guts and/or tits & ass for my taste, and I certainly don't find it funny or nostalgic.

The new Archie!

I haven't read an Archie book since junior high. Since then it seems it's been all about how many ridiculous crossovers they can come up with, or how PC they have to be or how many shocking twists they can come up with for media attention. I guess this is the latest one? At least it doesn't look as desperate as the last attempt to modernize Archie....
