![]() All has been quiet until McFarlane announced that big news was going to drop yesterday and then was delayed to today because sometimes real life has fantastic comedic timing. ![]() In May 2018, Jamie Foxx was announced as the title character, but it wasn't until August 2021 that McFarlane released some aspects of the movie to others he intended to direct, write, and produce, with the announcement that Broken City writer Brian Tucker was rewriting the script. If there is something you can confidently say lives in development hell, it's this Spawn movie that McFarlane has been talking about for forever. However, things have been extremely quiet on the development of the film ever since. In 2015, MacFarlane announced that a script for a new film was complete, and in 2017, Blumhouse and McFarlane announced that they were in development for a hard R-rated Spawn movie. Spawn is one of the most 90s comic things that wasn't drawn by Rob Liefeld and was made into a notoriously panned and goofy movie in 1997. Spawn was a launch title for Image Comics and was created by Todd McFarlane in 1992. His own near-death was nearly a Heroic Sacrifice.The big Spawn movie news finally dropped, and it's news that another aspect of the production has changed. Before that, Goofy almost sees his only son, with whom he'd just reconciled, nearly go over the same waterfall to his doom.Goofy doesn't even do his iconic yell rather, he genuinely screams in terror for his own life, which tells you right away that this isn't going to be some slapstick/ Amusing Injuries bit from a classic Goofy short - had Max not saved him just in the nick of time, Goofy would have died! Goofy almost plummeting to his doom over the waterfall.Seeing Goofy be genuinely upset perfectly captures the Oh, Crap! feeling one gets when they've managed to anger the one person they've never seen get angry: you're terrified because you don't know what they're going to do. While it's a little funny to see that character get angry, his Tranquil Fury is uncomfortably tense: he just sighs quietly and doesn't speak for the next mile or so, and Max's attempts to lighten the mood just make him visibly angrier until he breaks hard on the shoulder of the road and marches out of the car as far away from Max as possible. Goofy's now- memetic angry face when Max tells him to take the exit to LA.The two of them talking over each other with panic in their voices, their terrified screams when they nearly crash and the way the scene is cut make it viscerally terrifying. Max is so overcome from guilt, not to mention is distracted by Goofy telling him to make a decision the whole time, that he panics and stammers until the very last second before the two of them are about to crash into the divider. While at a junction, Goofy gives Max a Secret Test of Character by having him read the map and tell him which exit to take, one of which goes to Idaho and the other to LA. ![]() In that moment, Pete reveals exactly what he is: a brute with a fragile ego. While no violence occurs, the almost threatening tone of his voice makes Pete sound like he'd be willing to fight Goofy for merely suggesting that he's wrong.
