If you haven't been seeing KlicKNet's social media pages, then you should know that two important serious matters happened when the blog was off for a week. The first matter is that as of yesterday, we've discontinued doing the MaxSports Rundown, TwitterTrend, and the WebChoice playlist on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and the site formerly known as Twitter. Starting Monday, they will all merge together to become the Daily Thread, dedicated to presenting all the sports and news stories under one name. 

The second serious matter I have to tell you about is that last week, our KlicKNet instagram account was hacked by someone who I thought was a best friend of mine. I thought they were helping me with something I prefer not to say, but really they were just helping themselves take over KlicKNet's account on IG which I created last year. So I decided that the hacker or hackers can have and defamed the old account all they want, and I'll just go and make a new one with the username, @klicknetproductions. 

The name is quite fitting because I already plan to make new changes and new expansions for the KlicKNet brand in the future. Those new changes start soon for I plan to give FakeTV Box on YouTube a new logo, new graphics, and new opening sequence for the show, and new closing sequence for the show. Most of all, I'm going to record an all-new trailer for KlicKNet's YouTube channel, dedicated to showing new viewers what we're all about on this platform.

I hope you KlicKNettars will be with us to see what we've come up with as FakeTV Box getting "Fresh and New" this Fall. Something else that's getting "Fresh and New" is what's coming to several Six Flags parks in the US, see what I mean in this week's Sneak Peek of the Week.

Everything New for Six Flags in 2024 - OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Our latest Inside Scoop regards that the status of the Writers' and Actors' Strikes' and how they have impacted certain parts of the Film and Television Industry. As everyone knows, The writers strike began May 2 while the actors went on strike July 14, significantly impacting production and development throughout the United States and other places around the world. According to The Hollywood Reporter: aside from the labor stoppage, there's been "a general pullback at Disney+" and the shows produced by Marvel Studios have been most affected by it. As such, Marvel Studios has reshuffled the release dates for its slate of television shows coming to Disney+.

Here's a rundown on the affected shows, in chronological order of their release: First up, the Second Season of “What If…?,” Marvel Studios' first animated series, will now be released in December over the holiday season. The show was originally set to debut in early this year in 2023, but was been delayed for unspecified reasons. “Echo” — a “Hawkeye” spin-off starring Alaqua Cox as Marvel’s first Native American and first deaf superhero — has moved from Nov. 29 to January 2024. This show is still set to release all episodes at once, making it the first binge release for a Marvel Cinematic Universe series on Disney+.

“X-Men ’97,” the revival of the popular '90s animated “X-Men” series, has pushed from this Fall release to early 2024. The WandaVision spinoff "Agatha," which changed its title once again — from "Coven of Chaos" to the "Darkhold Diaries" — had been expected to hit Disney+ sometime between later this year and early next year, has not been delayed to Fall 2024. To make things even more shocking, "Ironheart" and "Daredevil: Born Again" have been removed from Marvel Studios' TV calendar, meaning that they are both delayed until further notice. "Ironheart" had completed production last year, but "Daredevil: Born Again" became a victim of this year's writers' and actors' strike.

Disney+, and The Marvels movie is still set to hit theaters on November 10th, though you can believe that Marvel Studios' movie calendar is going to be affect greatly. They're counting on the Major Studios to strike a deal with the writers and actors so that everyone can get back to work. The Thunderbolts are slated to start filming later this year and Deadpool 3 — which is likely to miss its May 2024 release date now — still has more filming to do. Nonetheless, to point something that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has said before: "the studio is looking to make the best product possible for its fervent fanbase, which is Disney+ is making less product." so the studio spacing out its event programming is not entirely a bad thing, but you can believe that the strikes will not only affect Phase 5 of the MCU, but Phase 6 as well, possibly causing "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" and "Avengers: Secret Wars" to be pushed back even further.
