Andor: What Does Ghor Sound Like to Actual French People?
The language was completely fabricated for the series, and was made to sound like a mix of French and German, and while native English speakers thought it just sounded like French—people who actually spoke the language got off guard by it as well.
Based on this thread on Twitter (that I actually started), there were some people nice enough to give their idea as to what Ghor in Andor sounded like to them, being French speakers. One reply said:
When me and my wife heard the first meeting, we both stared at each other and said "these guys are clearly french"

Another reply said, 'I'm French. At the beginning i was thinking it was German but didn t recognise any word and then i thought it was Romanche (Swiss langage… I thought it was Italian too but neither sounds French to me.' Another wrote, ' Why does he talk my language but i can't get a damn thing?'
Probably the simplest description would be that the Ghor language sounded like Simlish to them (i.e., the gibberish used in The Sims games).
What's interesting is that officially, Ghor was made to sound French as to be a tribute to actual French revolutionaries from history. Even the Andor actors themselves were all French-speaking, and they were even said to sometimes speak Ghor even when the cameras weren't rolling.
Fans are expecting a huge massacre for the Ghormans soon, but it looks like Star Wars showrunner Tony Gilroy isn't making this made up race go out without a bang.

Harry Potter Veteran on the Toxic Reaction to Reboot's New Snape, Paapa Essiedu
Like it or not, current fandom culture is now plagued with all kinds of toxicity whenever a POC actor is announced for a franchise that was dominantly white for a time. It happened with Star Wars , and it's now happening with the Harry Potter reboot with Paapa Essiedu being cast as the new Professor Snape. With so many people complaining about the casting, a Potter vet, Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in the original movies, has stepped up to bat for Essiedu. During a talk with Collider at Fans Expo, Isaacs says, ' Paapa Essiedu is one of the best actors I've ever seen in my life. I've seen some people online who are being rude about him. What they're being is racist… All the cast of the new 'Harry Potter' TV series are amazing. They will be swallowing their tongues, hopefully — you know, their digital tongues — when they see what [Paapa] does on screen.' While there are toxic and bigoted reactions to Essiedu getting cast, there are also some concerns on the opposite end of the spectrum where they are worried that casting a black Snape actually has different implications for other characters—specifically Harry's dad who was Snape's bully. Some think it would be hard to root for Harry's dad if he was bullying a black student; but on the contrary, some think that an easy fix for this problem is to make James Potter and the rest of his gang POC to make things… less racist? I guess bullying is more forgivable as long as it's inclusive. We don't know when we'll get a first look at the reboot, but the main trio and adults have already been cast, and production is expected to start very soon. No release date has been set for the Harry Potter reboot, but fans are expecting it to come out sometime next year or early 2027.

'That's Not His Arm': The Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket is the New Dune Popcorn Bucket
'Are you the Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket or are you just happy to see me?' We know that Fantastic Four: First Steps is going to be getting a big Galactus popcorn bucket, but there is also another bucket based on the main four members, and the reveal for the Mr. Fantastic popcorn bucket is getting the same reactions as the one from Dune not too long ago . Check this out: First look at a Reed Richards popcorn bucket for 'THE FANTASTIC FOUR' — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) June 18, 2025 While the bucket is obviously showing off Mr. Fantastic's powers by having him stretch his arm around the bucket, the fact that his left arm isn't showing and the bucket seems to be directly connected to his crotch immediately prompted the rest of Twitter to make jokes about how Reed is actually using his 'third arm' to hold the bucket. Why does it look like…. Nevermind — CHRIS (@ChrisBlackadder) June 18, 2025 If anything, it does feel like Mr. Fantastic is a very tricky character to market nowadays since his powers always lead to someone somehow finding a way to make a joke about how he can stretch his penis. Remember when Reed Richards was released for Marvel Rivals earlier this year? Mr Fantastic — Siqintha Hedd (@Loudwindow) January 3, 2025 This isn't the edit, but you get the point. Well, the joke has been made multiple times, even in the official comics; so I guess anyone who is trying to market Mr. Fantastic should be well aware what to expect when you have a guy with stretchy powers. Good thing DC's Plastic Man isn't as popular because we wouldn't be hearing the end of it. Catch Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes to cinemas on July 25.

Green Lantern Aaron Pierre Allegedly Being Eyed for James Bond
The search for the next James Bond continues, and while he already has a new face in the upcoming game, a rumor is going around about the next big screen Bond—and he's someone expected to blow up in the DC space very soon. According to insider Daniel RPK (via @TheOscarRace) Aaron Pierre ( Lanterns, Rebel Ridge ) is currently being considered for the role of 007. Of course, nothing official has been said about the matter, but Pierre has already proven that he can do some intense action sequences; in fact, it was speculated that it was his role in Rebel Ridge that got him the Green Lantern job. The way the internet works these days, it's very possible that the casting of Pierre could be met with intense backlash from the anti-woke crowd, but based on his work, I think he would make for a fantastic Bond. Admittedly, I prefer my 007 to be on the more lighthearted side, and it's still not clear if Pierre will be able to deliver that, seeing that a lot of his roles have been pretty serious. Then again, he was able to pull off a ridiculous character named 'Mid-Sized Sedan' in an M. Night Shyamalan movie, so maybe James Bond won't be so much of a stretch. As a character that's constantly being poked fun at today for not surviving cancel culture, MGM has a huge hurdle to get through if they want to keep 007 relevant for newer audiences. Maybe Pierre is the key, but we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, Pierre is expected to star in Lanterns which hits HBO Max sometime in 2026.
