As of this past week One of the higher quality works by Blinky Productions was targeted by Marvel Entertainment.Blinky had a popular Deadpool Webseries that the 2nd episode was just about to break 4,000 hits on YouTube within the first day of release and had just hit #1 on the IMDB TV series for 2013.At that time Marvel had ordered Blinky Productions to remove ALL videos relating to their proprietary domain. It was observed that ONLY Blinky Productions was targeted.fans of the Deadpool Web-series were and still are outraged by the actions of Marvel Entertainment; including myself!This site is dedicated to raising awareness to fans of Fan Films, Cosplay, Creative Writing, Fan Art, Bloging/Vloging and any other free form expression.
