Golden Retriever's Gentle Encounter with Deer Is Straight Out of a Children's Book
When it comes to people, stereotypes can be more harmful than helpful. When it comes to learning about different dog breeds, however, generalizations carry a bit of truth in them.
Just look at Siberian Huskies! Social media videos often portray them as energetic, operatic singers who love to run, play, and cause trouble, and as a Husky mom, I can confirm it's 100% true. My Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute mix is just as goofy as the ones I see online, and his brother, whom we see occasionally, is the very same way.
As one of the most popular dog breeds, Golden Retrievers have a lot of stereotypes to live up to. They're known for being friendly, approachable, and easygoing pups, which is because most of them really are as sweet as honey!
For the perfect proof, look no further than 1-year-old Tucker, who could not have been gentler while meeting a friendly deer on June 13. Sometimes, 'Golden Retriever Energy' can mean playfulness and happiness, but in this case, it's friendliness and a gentle spirit.
This couldn't be any cuter! Golden Retrievers like Tucker tend to be extremely friendly dogs thanks to their decades as dedicated hunting companions, but now, many Goldens are also gentle and friendly to the animals they used to help hunt.
Deer are notoriously jumpy and easily scared off, but this happy dog made the doe feel immediately at ease. She began to back up when he came closer, but the smart dog took the hint and lay down instead! Just when I thought this dog couldn't be sweeter, he shows just how in tune he is with others' emotions and body language.Some commenters adored the way Tucker looked back at his mom as if he were saying, "See? A new friend!" but others couldn't resist sharing their own words of praise for the sunniest dog breed.
"My Golden Retriever puppy experienced a butterfly today for the first time," a viewer named Steve wrote, "but it had a broken wing so it couldn't fly. I was afraid he was going to eat it, but he just kept nudging it with his nose and playing with it."
Golden Retrievers are such gentle souls! Whether they're nose-to-nose with a butterfly or watching a deer graze on the lawn, you can count on a Golden to make the moment even sweeter.

‘Coyote vs. Acme' Finally Reveals a Release Date at Comic-Con
If the long, twist-filled 'Coyote vs. Acme' fight for a release was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn't go under. That's as far as the analogy goes, though film fans can easily guess who is Mr. Potter in this scenario. Regardless, the townspeople have won the day, and 'Coyote vs. Acme' is indeed on its way — finally — with a theatrical release set for August 28, 2026. To sum things up as quickly as possible: the $70 million live-action/animated movie was one of a few (paging 'Batgirl') that were shelved in 2023 as tax write-offs for Warner Bros. (to the tune of $30 million), even though the movie had tested well. After a fan outcry, the film was put up for sale to other studios… but then it quickly was dead in the water again, when nobody met the price WB wanted. A cast and crew funeral screening was even held for the movie. It was dead. George Bailey was going to jump off the bridge. More from IndieWire How 'Oh, Hi!' Makes Doomscrolling Funny What If 'The Virgin Suicides' Felt More Like a Cursed Object? Try the Feverish 'Honeycomb' for Summer Enter Clarence- eh… 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Toons Movie,' which Ketchup distributed, though it was only set for a streaming HBO Max (or Max at the time) release. They then made a deal earlier this year for 'Coyote vs. Acme,' which the film's star Will Forte expressed relief over earlier this year, telling THR, 'I never thought it would happen so it just came out of nowhere and I'm so thrilled,' he said. 'Thank you Ketchup Entertainment, I'm so excited for people to see this movie. I'm gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll go, I'll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I'm there.' So the film's San Diego Comic-Con panel, to say the least, was hotly anticipated. And Ketchup did not disappoint. 'This movie wasn't suppose to come out,' panel moderator Paul Scheer said (via Deadline). 'I heard Warner Bros wouldn't release the film — I've never heard of Warner Bros! This is really an Acme decision and I'm saying that for legal purposes.' The even had 'an Acme lawyer' appear, attempting to halt the film's release. 'These are cease and desist papers from the Acme Corporation. You do not have permission to share information and footage from this anti-Acme film. Please leave the stage,' the performer said, then addressed a cosplaying audience member, 'As a copyrighted costume, sir, please disrobe.' May the other shelved Warner Bros. properties — which also includes another animated film 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' — one day find such a rebirth. Until then, they await discovery at the Island of Misfit Toys. But that is another analogy for another day. Until then, check out 'Coyote vs. Acme' in theaters August 28, 2026.

Comic-Con goes interstellar with 'Project Hail Mary,' 'Star Trek' updates
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Comic-Con is headed to space for its third day. Saturday's biggest presentations at the pop culture extravaganza will be for 'Project Hail Mary,' which stars Ryan Gosling on an interstellar mission to save humanity, and for the next series in the 'Star Trek' franchise. Fans are also getting a sneak peek at 'Coyote vs. ACME,' a hybrid live-action and animated project that was shelved by Warner Bros. in a cost-cutting move but will get a theatrical release in 2026. The movie features John Cena, who is also a star of the DC series 'Peacemaker,' which will have a presentation Saturday in Comic-Con's massive Hall H. 'Project Hail Mary' is an adaptation of the book by Martin Weir, whose book 'The Martian' was adapted by Ridley Scott in 2015. An estimated 135,000 people — many in costumes — are expected to attend Comic-Con 2025, which runs through Sunday in downtown San Diego. So far, fans have gotten previews of 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2,'the upcoming FX series 'Alien: Earth' and 'Predator: Badlands,' which will be in theaters in November. 'Coyote vs. Acme' coming to theaters in August 2026 Wile E. Coyote is getting his day in court – and theaters. The stars of 'Coyote vs. Acme' delivered a rousing presentation of a movie that at one point wasn't going to be released. The underdog story – both of the movie and Coyote – was a running theme of the panel. But rather than direct ire at Warner Bros., the real-world studio that shelved the project, the panel focused on the fictional Acme Corp. 'This is purely an Acme decision … and I am saying this for legal purposes,' moderator Paul Scheer said at the start of the panel. The movie is a hybrid of animation and live action and is based on a 1990 New Yorker article that satirized a legal complaint filed by Coyote against Acme, the maker of the TNT, detonators, rocket shoes, catapults and other products that consistently backfire during the Coyote's fruitless attempts to catch the Roadrunner. Laughter filled Hall H, the massive 6,000-seat venue as fans watched a montage of Coyote being blown up, flattened and falling into chasms in a scene set to Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt.' Coyote is replaying the moments in his lair when an ad for a personal injury lawyer appears on TV. They also played six minutes of the movie, including a scene of opening statements in the case in which Coyote's lawyer, Will Forte, accidentally unleashes a rocket skate into the courtroom, setting Coyote and the judge's robes on fire. John Cena plays a slick Acme lawyer who wins over the jury, which includes a cartoon character, quickly. Forte said he didn't think the movie would ever get to audiences. 'I'm pretty speechless. You think back to the journey that this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point,' Forte said. At one point, his comments were interrupted by a man playing an Acme lawyer who stormed into Hall H with cease-and-desist letters. Director Dave Green said the movie conforms to famed animator Chuck Jones' rules for the struggle between the Coyote and Roadrunner, which include the bird always staying on the road and the Coyote being ultimately more humiliated than hurt when he falls, is crushed or gets blown up by TNT. The movie, which features cameos from numerous Looney Tunes characters like Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety and Bugs Bunny, will be released on Aug. 28, 2026. Ketchup Entertainment teamed up with Warner Bros. on the film and in the release of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.'

‘Magic: The Gathering' Swung Into the Spider-Verse at Comic-Con
We're on the cusp of the release of Magic: The Gathering's next major set, Edge of Eternities, next week, but that didn't stop Wizards of the Coast from swinging into San Diego Comic-Con to show off its next big crossover: Spider-Man. And in our first major glimpse at what to expect from the set, we got treated to a whole spider-verse of new cards—and, of course, some very nifty comic book-themed variants to get your wallet's spidey senses tingling. It's no surprise that transforming cards are going to be the name of the game in Spider-Man, given the plethora of secret identities and alter egos of friends and foes at play here. While seemingly not every Spider-Hero included in the set will get that treatment, major players like Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy will all be able to flip between their civilian identities and their hero forms. Another recurring mechanic? Summoning spider tokens—a cute nod to the origins of many a Spider-hero, although in Magic it turns Pete and his friends more into a Spiders-Man than anything else. One new mechanic coming to the set that we know of thanks to these new cards is web-slinging, although it's more that the flavor is new rather than the actual mechanic. Drawing on a plethora of other quickening mechanics from Magic's past (and its present, given the arrival of Warp in Edge of Eternities), web-slinging lets a player pay a reduced mana cost for a card at the expense of returning a tapped creature you control back to your hand. Think of it like Spidey using something—in this case, a creature on the battlefield—to zipline into the action with haste! Metaphorical haste, rather than mechanical haste, that is. Aside from introducing key heroes and villains coming to the set, the new reveals also showcased a host of variant card treatments—although with a slight twist that Spider-Man will be the first crossover set that removes the distinctive triangular border frame that has defined 'Universes Beyond' cards in the past, further enmeshing Magic's crossover experiences with original sets. Variant treatments for Spider-Man include, of course, stylized webbing frames and comic-panel-inspired alternate art, but also special comics art variants that leverage decades of Marvel Comics artwork—in some instances, turning cards into iconic comic covers, framing their rules text into a front-page spread. Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set begins releasing September 26. Check out even more cards revealed at SDCC below! Want more io9 news?
