- by Ninja Ross, 29 May, 2020

Welcome to Trash Mutant's News Dump! Where we dump upon you this week's hardest hitting news from the garbage pile that is our beloved pop culture!

Movies

Director Wes Ball is Telling People What to do
In an interview with Discussing Film, Director Wes Ball offered an update on his upcoming Planet of the Apes movie: “I’ll say this, for fans of the original three don’t worry – you’re in good hands.” Don’t tell me what to do, WES.

Tom Hanks is Disappearing
After contracting COVID-19 back in March, along with his wife Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks has been donating both money and his own plasma to help research and combat the Coronavirus. He has recently donated even more plasma, meaning there’s less Tom Hanks inside of Tom Hanks. Experts predict it’ll be mere weeks before he’s a young boy again and has to explain that to his wife.

Comic Books

Major Avenger Gets Hammered by Moon Knight
Reports say he will be Thor in the morning.

Medicine Beats Natural Selection Yet Again
Three children in Bolivia, aged 8, 10 and 12, were bitten by a black widow spider after deliberately provoking it in order to gain spider powers. Not only did they not get powers, but they also highlighted a serious lack of Spider-Man education in Bolivia.

New Yellow Hulk a Weird Racist Chinese Analogy
Despite really seeming like it, the new Yellow Hulk from IDW's Marvel Action: Avengers is nothing to do with Marvel or IDW's opinion on China. It just really seems that way.

Science

Lasers Prove that Lasers are Awesome
The U.S Navy have shown the power of laser weaponry by disabling a drone during a demonstration designed to prove to everyone how awesome lasers are.

God Not Ready Yet
SpaceX’s Crew Dragon 2 was supposed to launch this week, but has been delayed until Saturday due to stormy weather. God may still be in the bathroom, or was simply not expecting anyone. However, he has refused us entry into space. It may be wise to take this time and paint cool stuff on the rocket. Or even attach lasers.

Don’t be a Dick to Babies, Says Science
New research shows that babies recognise when an adult is imitating them, perceiving them as more friendly. Needless to say, this would also mean they know when you’re calling them names and mocking them. Further tests are still required to see how bad a baby holding a grudge is.

Video Games

They’re Still Making a Borderlands Movie
Eli Roth’s Borderlands adaptation has been in the works since 2016 and I had completely forgotten about it. However, Cate Blanchett has now been cast as Lilith, reminding me that it is indeed a thing.

New PC Demo for Destroy All Humans! Remake is Not What I Thought
A demo has been released for THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games' upcoming remake of the video game, Destroy All Humans!, which is being released on July 28 this year. Not a demonstration of an apocalypse, as previously thought.

That concludes this week's News Dump. If you have any thoughts, go ahead and dump it down in the comments!
