Okay, haven’t we seen this movie before? It’s the one where Rocky goes up against that big Russian dude. But this time, we’ve got Jackie Chan squaring off with Rocky, which, honestly, might be a decent fight. I’d pay Netflix to host this one – it’s got to be better than their last debacle with Dyson and that YouTube phenom, Mr. Whatever. Fact check: Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong, so does that make him Hong Kong-neese? Are they even part of China these days? I can’t keep up – I think they’re their own deal, excuse my ignorance.

So, in this scenario, we’ve got Jackie Chan,ByteDance (who needs to report to their trainer—China) facing off against Rocky (a.k.a. U.S. National Security). The audience here is freedom of speech and all those TikTok users, or are they also Rocky? I’ll let you decide. The Supreme Court has already thrown the punch, and Jackie Chan loses. But wait, there’s a revolt! The audience, mostly Gen Z with a sprinkle of Millennials, is shouting “Fix, Fix, Fix!!!” Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, Musk, and now Mr. Wonderful are hyping up the fight from the sidelines. The noise is so loud that the ref(Biden?), fearing for his life, hesitates to raise Rocky’s arm in victory, desperately seeking some divine intervention.

The screen goes dark.

Or so is the threat from TikTok – on Sunday, but is that just before Sunday or just before Monday? Oh, and Monday’s a national holiday. Does everything get pushed back? Trump’s being sworn in on the same day. Is he the new Don King, just with different colored hair?

Too much to consider. But I’d still love to see Jackie Chan take on Sylvester Stallone. Now, that would be the closest thing to , “You’re gonna eat lightning, and you’re gonna crap thunder!” (Rocky, and the Penguin).
