Lady: While the name of attacker is still unknown, authorities say he lives in the suburb of Woodcrest and goes by the alias "psycho 'star wars' guy." Meanwhile, Huey Freeman, a friend of the assailant, called Lucas' attack, quote, "a case of the chickens coming home to roost." Here's more... Huey: We are tired of creators not being held accountable for their actions. What do I call it when someone ruins his own pop-culture icons is attacked by a psycho fan? I call it justice. And if John Singleton is watching - you better not mess up "Shaft," or you got a foot comin' your way, too!

Unfortunately the late John Singleton did indeed mess up “Shaft”, at least in my eyes.

I know exactly what you mean, Huey. For example, while Butch Hartman is the creator of the Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom, a lot of people have come to agree that Steve Marmel was the one who made the show good in the first place and when he left, his absence was felt by viewers, which caused the quality of Butch Hartman’s shows to slowly, but surely decline. It’s not always the creator who makes things great, because in the end, animation is a team effort and everyone contributes to the project’s success.

Huey speaks the truth. For instance, while nobody will deny that Wilbert Awdry is the true father of the Thomas franchise, Britt Allcroft and David Mitton are undeniably the ones who made Thomas and his friends accessible to a wider audience and into the worldwide pop cultural icons they are today.

Speaking of… I thought Jason Reitman did a pretty good job with Ghostbusters -Afterlife. Part 2 is shooting now and is due in theatres this December.

In today’s news the only quote in Huey’s own words would be: “…chickens coming home to roost…” which would be contained in the presenter’s comments before and after…and Huey would be spliced in for a mere second.

I never knew Huey invented toxic fandom.
