It's that rare category of remake where it's so bad it makes you realize the original sucked too.

Conditions and general sanity have degraded enough that the space in We Didn't Start The Fire given to lyrics which described the entire boomer lifetime up to that point would now only cover perhaps one year of the noteworthy horrors and curiosities through which we now endure.

I was getting my haircut a few weeks ago and in the salon there was a sequel to "We Didn't Start The Fire" playing on the radio.

This is up there with Falling In Reverse's cover of Papa Roach's Last Resort. When I first heard the song I was laughing my rear end off because I thought if was a parody of those "dramatic" covers you used for movies trailers.

To Jumanji's credit it's trailer looked like if the movie was bad it was at least going to be the fun kind of bad. It was a pleasant surprise that it turned out to be good.

The rumors about Michael Waldron (Loki showrunner and Multiverse of Madness writer) taking over writing a unified script for Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars have been confirmed and announced.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/avengers-the-kang-dynasty-michael-waldron-1235606691/

https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1729249142000726346

The other part of the rumors were that Sam Raimi is the top choice to direct both movies as well and they are bringing him and Waldron back together because of their work on Multiverse of Madness.

Raimi has not been officially confirmed as the director, but he is in talks and is apparently the top choice.

https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2023/11/25/a8bdr0v2a0wqsdr0wbjgfukkgvoj0a

Kind of surprised that they are pivoting to a unified director/writer for both movies and that they didn't just do that from the start. That the whole deal with the Russos and the Infinity War/Endgame writing team.

This is pretty exciting, I thought the Multiverse of Madness script was pretty considering the conditions it was made in (hastily rewritten every day) and rewatching Loki S1 and Heels S1, that guy has a great grip on characters!

I've not seen Heels, but it looks interesting. Waldron has a relatively short resume, but all of his stuff is pretty solid. He is apparently in good with Kevin Feige because he was put in charge of Loki, both Avengers movies, and was recently announced as the head writer for "Untitled Star Wars/Kevin Feige Project." Prior to Loki, his main credits were writing two of the early seasons of Rick and Morty and Heels.

Two Sam Raimi Avengers movies sounds pretty fun too. I'm actually not sure how a Raimi Avengers series will turn out, but I'm sure it will not be bland. Raimi and Waldron made Multiverse of Madness pretty interesting and have its own flavor, while still keeping the comic bookiness of Doctor Strange.
