The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


Tom Taylor's Neverlanders is being adapted to animation

Animation Magazine announced that the far-left scriptwriter Taylor, who's already earned notoriety for turning the Son of Kal-El homosexual at DC, is getting his Neverlanders comic adapted to a cartoon production:
Australia’s Pixel Zoo Animation Studios has acquired the rights to the award-winning graphic novel, Neverlanders. The studio’s Pixel Labs original content division will adapt the book from fellow Australian creatives, No. 1 New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning author Tom Taylor (Nightwing) and acclaimed illustrator Jon Sommariva (Batman/TMNT).

Neverlanders (Penguin Random House) is a YA graphic novel set in a reimagined world of Peter Pan. The story finds Neverland has become a war zone, and it’s up to a new group of ‘Lost Ones’ to save the day.

Aimed at teens and family audiences, the movie will be scripted by Taylor and art directed by Sommariva. In addition to his work in comics, including Dark Knights of Steel, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Children of the Round Table and several Star Wars series, Taylor is head writer and executive producer of the animated series The Deep, currently in its fourth season and airing in 140-plus territories. Sommariva’s additional illustrator credits include Star Wars Adventures, Harley Quinn and Multiverse: Collision Detected; he is also co-creator of Image Comics’ Gemini.
It's long stopped being a surprise when some of the worst modern writers are the ones whose works are adapted to screen. That this was a young adult story is enough to worry what this could really be like, since many of these YA publications are built on PC pandering. As a result, what are the chances it's not suitable for children, or even family readers and viewers? That the artist drew stories about Harley Quinn is also appalling, since he only helped contribute to the marketing of a villainous character who was elevated to insufferably overrated status over the years.

I honestly hope audiences will avoid attending what may now be in production, because if the creators are as overrated and political as the former's been, then their publications are bound to be as well. And the talk of a "war zone" could be enough to guess something's wrong with Neverlanders from a political perspective.
