The ‘Warrior Nun’ Showrunner Solves Twitter’s Blue Checkmark Issue as Twihards Share Their Thoughts on a Televised Reboot
via Lionsgate
The Twitter debacle continues to unravel online, as Elon Musk’s acquisition of the site — and his subsequent bungling of its actual management — sees users flee Twitter in droves.
Blue checkmarks are officially starting to disappear from established, formerly verified accounts, as longtime users refuse to pay Musk’s fee to maintain their former status. It’s causing mass confusion online, as legacy accounts lose their checkmarks and random strangers instead populate Twitter’s most visible spaces, but a solution may have already been found. Simon Barry, the showrunner behind Netflix’s ill-fated fantasy Warrior Nun, might have sorted out the blue checkmark issue once and for all, and his fix is beautifully simple.
Despite Musk’s best efforts, Twitter is managing to maintain some level of its former relevance. It’s still the go-to spot for web users to gather and share their opinions on any topic under the sun — like the upcoming Twilight TV adaptation or Jenna Ortega’s long-forgotten origins in a popular 2013 horror flick.
Warrior Nun’s Simon Barry brilliantly solves Twitter’s blue checkmark problem
Musk’s decision to remove Twitter’s “verified” status for anyone not willing to shell out a monthly fee instantly divided the site’s user base, many of whom were entirely unwilling to pay for prominence. As a result, quite a few formerly verified accounts have lost their blue checkmarks, and various randos have earned far more publicity by shelling out some extra monthly cash.
Thankfully, there seems to be a solution to the loss of a blue checkmark, and it’s gloriously simple. Warrior Nun’s Simon Barry recently shared it with the world — and free of charge, no less — via a simple tweet showcasing his new name on the site, which identifies him as “Simon Barry – legacy blue check.” Sometimes the best solutions are also the most straightforward.
Twilight fans have thoughts about the reported TV adaptation
A reboot of the Twilight franchise is reportedly in the works, following in Harry Potter’s footsteps, and fans of the sparkly vampiric series aren’t sure what to think. Some fans are delighted at the prospect of fixing wrongs committed by the films, but others would prefer the bigwigs in Hollywood leave the series be. They already fell in love with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and aren’t ready to welcome a new cast into iconic roles the actors encapsulated just over a decade ago. Is a reboot really necessary so close to the original’s release?
Fans were shocked and delighted to discover a sneaky Jenna Ortega role from 2013
Jenna Ortega has absolutely blown up in recent months, thanks in large part to her role as Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s Wednesday. The massively-popular series rocketed Ortega into the spotlight, and many people discovered her for the first time when they tried out the dark comedy’s first season.
But a minor Ortega role from all the way back in 2013 is now turning heads, as fans rediscover the young actress’ presence in Insidious: Chapter 2, which came out a full decade ago. She’s barely recognizable in the role, given her youth, but major Ortega fans picked her out instantly and shared their surprise for the internet to enjoy.
