Comic Riffs is a blog devoted to the comics fan. Come in, sit down and put your feet up as we celebrate, contemplate, eviscerate and pontificate on cartoons.
For spoofing the making and marketing of The Superhero Summer Film, the cheekiest new video comes courtesy of a green Onion.
As the parade of mondo comics-sprung movies continues with tonight’s launch of “Green Lantern,” the Onion News Network mocks the lockstep precision of the process — right down to the whipping up of fanboy fervor.
The clip kicks off its comic tone with the headline: “Green Lantern” to Fulfill America’s Wish to See Lantern-Based Characters On Big Screen.” The Onion’s “Star Fix” not only tweaks the degree to which the Green Lantern is a lesser-known character to the moviegoing masses, but also — as always — parodies the vapidity of an entertainment show’s drive-by coverage.
Who makes for better fodder: Blake Lively or the knee-jerk nerd? Roll clip:
