Of MCU and manbabies
Posted 7 months agoHo boy! Imagine if DC movies were the more successful and these manbabies complain this much about 'em? I mean, we are gonna get a Supergirl movie next year, and golly-gee, I can't wait to hear about 'woke'.
Say what you want about the MCU; same kinda movie, same kinda acting, same kinda pacing. To each their own, love 'em or hate 'em, but I'm sorry, I just can't agree with you with any of that.
Each movie has something to offer them. Again, not all of them are for everybody. I said it before, and I'll say it again, Captain America Brave New World was genuinely awesome for me. And I wanna see it again. I know the people complaining are the minority, but unfortunately, that minority doesn't know when to shut the hell up at times, and their rambling complaints are often times lies, cuz those grifters wanna fool their gullible audience for money.
And these same people complain about the MCU's interconnection. Dude, that's what they said they wanted to do since day 1, why do you keep complaining about this? And how come I don't see these complaints with the myriad of cartoons out there???? You want more Marvel standalone movies? Dudes, you can just go watch watch the early movies. Some are better than others, but you can still watch 'em.
And just these unreasonable standards and crazy expectations they have, like they expect 'Endgame' over and over. Not everything SHOULD, otherwise, it will definitely get boring. If I had a $100 every time one of these yahoos say 'Drop the MCU' since 2012, I swear. They talk about superhero movie fatigue, how about horror movie fatigue, since there's a bunch of them out. Or how about romcoms? Those gettin' stale yet? Yeah, I have fatigue from listening to these babies talk about 'superhero fatigue'. Here's an idea, you can just STOP WATCHING THEM. I swear, their complaining gives off the impression their being forced/obligated to. You can just NOT watch them. Or do you do it just to hate-watch? Either way, stop torturing yourselves.
Regardless, I'm not gonna persuade you anymore than you're gonna persuade me to not watch any of them. I'm gonna keep watching them, cuz they interest me. Cuz yeah, I'm a friggin' nerd that loves this shit.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
Thanks for your time.

Of Captain Americas and Brave New Worlds XD
Posted 7 months agoWhat up, Squad!
So yesterday (at the time of this journal’s posting), I caught ‘Captain America: Brave New World’
Boy I can’t wait to see the numerous vids on my recommendation list on YouTube about the grifters’ take on it; ‘How it’s Woke’, ‘How it’s a disaster’, ‘How the MCU is going extinct’, the same song and dance we’ve all heard so many times before I’m surprised nobody’s made a drinking game out of it. DISCLAIMER: PLEASE DON’T ACTUALLY MAKE A DRINKING GAME OUT OF IT. EVEN IF YOU’RE USING WATER/JUICE THERE’S SIMPLY TOO MUCH AND YOU’LL PROBABLY DIE. And I’ve always said this; go out a see things for yourself and make your own judgement, and don’t listen to the incels, racists, and grifters. Shoot, you don’t even have to take my word for it. I always say your mileage may vary, and indeed, some like it, some don’t. You can’t please everybody. And y’all should know me by now, I never go into ANY movie wanting to love/hate it. I just wanna have a good time watching something, and if the movie makes me wanna see it more than once and get it on DVD, then that’s enough for me
So what did I think of it? Well without going into Spoiler territory… I felt it was very solid. The emotions are there, as well as motivations for characters. Some have stated that some new characters weren’t integral to the story, even tho they’ve made a great impression on me and makes me wanna see more of ‘em. Some say it’s exposition-heavy, tho not really. These are the same idiots that’ll spout out that ‘nothing is ever explained’, wanting their hand to be held. Some have stated the movie’s boring. Nothing felt bogged down or dragged on to me, and I wasn’t bored one bit. I’m glad they brought characters back for this, and that made it a cohesive story. Now there were reshoots during production, and some have stated that they can spot differences. I haven’t, but I’m sure I’ll spot something little things while rewatching it. Or I’m just stupid, don’t rule that out yet. Sam Wilson IS Captain America, and this movie shows it. You got a problem with that and wanna say ‘He’s not MY Captain America!’? Last time I checked, you never owned the character, my dude. I really didn’t have any complaints. Again, I’m sure I might find something upon rewatching. That said, my only real complaint so far when watching it was a costume change, but that’s just a nitpick.
So yeah, like I said, your mileage may vary, but I say go check it out. If you like it, cool. If you don’t, cool. Just don’t make a 6 HOUR YouTube vid nitpicking every single mistake there was. I felt this movie was a very solid watch, and worthy of me of getting on DVD ^^
That’s my two cents on the matter. Thanks for your time. ^^

Friendly Neighborhood CWS XD
Posted 7 months agoIt’s that time again, where the wastes-of-oxygen of the internet take an upcoming piece of nerd culture and creates a controversy out of nowhere from something that literally does not affect their lives whatsoever, to once again create a big ol’ nothing-burger just to hear themselves talk in an echo chamber whilst jumping on the bandwagon, labelling that something as their go-to phrase, ‘woke’. Just to stay relevant in their own miserable existence.
What am I talkin’ about today? Well the new Spidey series comin' on Disney+ tomorrow. And on the Lunar New Year no less.... tho thankfully there ain't no 'Year of the Spider' XD
Of course, these dinguses are complaining about Harry and Norman Osborn being Black. Do I care? Y'all should know me. I'm biracial, and I don't give a crap, long as the performance is good. THAT should be the norm of thinking from now on. Least Norman's hairstyle will finally make sense XD
This series looks like it's gonna be fun; looking like they brought the comic to life. ^^ It definitely looks more fun than 'Spidey 2017', which I gave up on early on. So maybe it'll climb up the ranks of; '90s series', 'Spectacular', and 'Ultimate Spider-Man'. We'll see how it goes. Nico Minoru from 'Runaways' is in this. Even Charlie Cox is voicing Daredevil in this series. Man what a comeback for Daredevil this year, along with his new show. So yeah, I'm a-gonna check this out.
And as far as proto Spidey suits, this is lookin' mighty cool. So we'll see how this turns out.
BTW, Happy Lunar New Year, y'all. Happy Year of the Snek ^^

Just a Cap'n America Ditty
Posted 7 months agoThey come outta the woodwork yet again with their worn-out crap. So of course, I gotta talk about it.
Latest TV spot for Captain America: Brave New World just dropped, and if you think the terminally online jackasses who spout the word ‘woke’, like a Pokémon that only says its name, wouldn’t say something stupid about, ye’d be dead wrong, my friends. The comment section… my God, talk about nitpicking, straw-manning and stretching at its finest. Let’s address the Thanos in the room with the multitudes of comments claiming, ‘It’ll be bad. It’ll suck. Trust me. I know what I’m talking about.’ If I had a $100 for every time I’ve heard that nonsense since 2012, I could buy everybody here dinner at Red Lobster… 10 times over! Yeah, they say they won’t watch it, then they do just to hate on it. Joke’s on you, bro, you paid to go see it.
Then there’s this: ‘Thank God they put rap music in the background. Would’ve forgot all about Captain America being black if they didn’t.’ & ‘The rap ruined the whole thing.’ Wowwie, oh boy! Why is this really a thing to complain about? You really cannot make any kinda good arguments these days anymore. You’re so desperate to make jabs at a movie you think will suck, you’ll just make shit up. It's all about making some kinda 'bait'. Then again, that’s been the name of their game for years. Cuz they know how gullible their audiences are. That’s how they make their money, cuz they know they’ll never be able to function in society. They complain that they show certain trailers and promote too many times. This ain’t nothing new. Are you serious? TONS OF MOVIES DO THIS, YA IDIOTS!
‘Bring back the real Captain America! This isn’t MY Captain America!’ so whines these same jackasses who will backpedal and say, ‘I’m not a racist!’ Bruh… y’all have done this to any and every MCU main that hasn’t been white and male. You wouldn’t be making this much of a fuss about it if you weren’t a racist. Y’all have NOT made good cases for yourselves regarding that. And the evidence and history shows it. And seriously, you act like this hasn’t happen in the comics. Then again, the Wastes-of-Oxygen that will nonstop shit-talk about this thing are the ones who’ve never picked up a comic book in their life. Why not Bucky? Obviously, there was some discrepancies. We’ve seen that in Bucky’s character, and even he says Sam is more qualified.
And of course some are ‘cautiously’ optimistic, and I use that term loosely, cuz they rag on the past 2 years’ worth of MCU films they consider flops, thinking they wield the supreme authority to speak for others. 1st: stop speaking for others. 2nd: Stop pretending you speak for others. I’ve genuinely been enjoying the films post ‘Endgame’. The only thing I just thought of as ‘meh’ was ‘Secret Invasion’ But let these haters hate, it’s becoming a sitcom for me. ^^ Sometimes I think I am evil XD
But what’s my take on it? I’ve loved the character of Sam Wilson since ‘Winter Soldier’, and how he’s evolved to be the new Cap. And yea, he IS the new Cap, ya pinheads! Don’t like it? Take it up with somebody who actually gives a crap! Cuz your 'complaints' haven’t put you in any decent light yet. And it’s hilarious how Sam’s speech at the end of ‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ went over a lot of these morons' heads, decrying he ain’t worthy of being the new Captain America. Sam told them to stop calling them terrorists in the sense that the senators were hiding their own responsibility in creating them behind the word "Terrorist". Yes they were committing acts of terror and Sam never claimed they didn’t. He simply asked the Senators to stop hiding behind the word and ask themselves "Why did they do what they did". Seriously, how did you interpret what he said as defending the terrorists? It ain’t rocket science. This is what him worthy to take that shield. Y’all wanna complain on just that, that’s your ass. But you do, you better have a valid reason without using these four words; ‘because’, ‘he’, ‘is’, and ‘Black.’ But then again, they’ll complain about something in a movie that’s totally asinine, making it a personal attack ‘as a man’. Then again, I’ve stopped giving a crap about these internet dwellers’ opinions so long ago, I don’t know why I’m even mentioning it here. You’re entitled to opinions, but when you say something so stupid out there on the internet for people to read, that’s gonna raise some questions about your critical thinking.
Some bozo said that, ‘MCU should be run by a MUCH BETTER COMPANY like Sony!’ Oh, really? Yeah, how were all those Spidey Villain spin-offs, huh? At this point, Sony should give up the Spidey movie rights cuz they clearly don’t seem to know what they’re doing anymore. And I’ve enjoyed the Venom trilogy. I saw a comment about giving all the Marvel properties to Fox. *facepalm* Give it back to the dudes who’ve made so many bad decisions with what they had? Do I even have to explain what movie lead them to have to merge with Disney? I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with 2015 ‘Crap-tastic Four’.
But above all that crap, and y’all should know this of me by now, I just wanna have a good time watching this. Nothin’ more, nothin’ less. NO MOVIE IS PERFECT. There’s always gonna be something to dislike. Even the MCU. But to me, those complaints are very very nitpicky, and the good will outweigh on the negative. If I genuinely enjoy this movie as I’ve had with the past movies, I’ll let ya know. If I don’t, then I don’t. I’ll move on. I definitely won’t make ‘breakdown’ videos on You tube, taking 6 friggin’ hours of your life, on what I think is bad about the movie. But to them, ‘if it don’t make a billion, they it’s considered a ‘flop’’. Dare I bring up Transformers: One is considered a box office flop, yet many love it, including me? This line of thinking needs to die out, man. I’m tellin’ ya.
That’s my two cents on the matter.
Thanks for your time ^^

Merry Chrismahannakwanza and prepare for an art dump
Posted 8 months agoHappy Holidays, y'all! ^^
As you've learned from my last journal about my decision, yes, Chasey's out and B.B.'s gonna be my main Sona. Trust me, I'm tired of this too. It's been going on for well over a year... maybe more. I SWEAR THIS'LL BE THE LAST TIME.
That being said, expect art dumps on here,
strawberrycremegoodra and 
Angelbattler... ON CHRISTMAS! ^^
Sheesh, I felt like Santa Claus these last two days; last minute crap down to the wire XD
But I do believe it'll be worth it.

I promise I'm all there 'up stairs' if ya know what I mean XD And trying to get some pics in before Christmas XD

Manipulations: the Transformers Earthspark Tale
Posted 9 months agoNice title. XD
OK, I'll be the first to admit that Transformers: Earthspark ain't the best. It dropped the ball a but during its 2nd and 3rd seasons, but that being said, it's not as bad as so many Gee-whiners make it out to be. And it definitely doesn't deserve the crazy hate it's getting. People say it's 'manipulating kids'. Why? Cuz of this crazy stigma of the culture war of 'pronouns'? Talk about exaggerations. This is just like the dumbass argument, that if you like the Decepticons, you're a terrorist. Yeah, the show has its moments, and finally gives Optimus some much-needed levity. They say the show 'ruins the legacy'. *sighs* It's crap like this when confidentially yelled out by the craziest of nerds, makes me not wanna take 'em seriously. So yeah, the show works as a pseudo sequel series to the original G1 cartoon. For those who haven't seen the show, Megatron becomes a good guy. Yeah, I would've liked to have seen where he got his change of heart, but I like his interactions with Optimus. And what with 'Transformers: One', it's fun.
'Destroys its legacy', said by the same crazies who kept yelling out, 'make it different', and when they do, 'it's too different'. They've done with Marvel movies, Star Wars, the list goes on. Please, tell me what 'legacy'? Since it seems to vary in the different shows. Nah, I find this show wholesome. Not the best, but definitely NOT the worst. Aaaaaaaand, we finally get a Prowl who DOESN'T DIE! And who's become my second favorite Prowl next to Animated's version ^^
But that's just my two cents on this whole thing. With this new 'Cyberworld' thing coming up, maybe those opinions will change. I'm just a schmuck who doesn't like jumping on the bandwagon.
Thanks for your time. ^^

Of She-Hulks and Incels
Posted 10 months agoUuuuugh! Here I am once again, talking about incels. Maybe I should go back to college, earn a degree in psychology, try to figure out what the hell goes on in these mindsets.
But that's the name of the game with this journal, since the Disney+ 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' has been trolling the trolls. Good, they need to be taken down a peg. But is that why she's listed as a 'loathsome' character in their minds? Like seriously, She-Hulk is a loathsome character because she doesn't wanna be a superhero per se, and wanna focus on being a lawyer? If these guys actually WATCH the show, they'll see there's layers to her that made her an enduring character to me. It's the reluctant hero ditty. Sure, the show's not the best, but far from being the worst. Then again, these dumbasses have routinely harped that anything staring WHAMEN will automatically ruin something, and it makes everything POLITICAL just for being there. And they sure has hellfire have done this with many a MCU product. Dare I mention the two Captain Marvel movies. They've already done it with Ironheart, and when her series comes it, it's gonna be in full swing. They say there's gonna be a spinoff of Spider-verse featuring different Spider-ladies, and if it gives the incels heart attacks - GOOD!
Of course I'm hearing about lawsuits on Ryan Reynolds from She-Hulk's Tatiana Maslany, but take that with a very small grain of salt, since these assholes love to exaggerate. And of course, people have bitched about She-Hulk breaking the 4th wall, 'copying' Deadpool's schtick. *facepalms* It's funny how these idiots that complain about crap don't do the tiniest bit of research to see what they're complaining about. Shulkie's been breaking the 4th wall before Deadpool!!!!!!! And if you've seen Critical 'Always Drunk' Drinker's take on the 1st episode of the show, complaining about that scene where Jennifer is getting catcalls from that group of guys who kept coming onto her. He described the scene as what they were doing 'wasn't THAT bad'. Anyone who says crap like this, you're telling on yourselves.
And complaints that it's not accurate to actual courtroom drama? The justice system is already a joke, and you want accuracy? Besides, it's court cases with superheroes in it.
This show's a light-hearted comedy, and I saw it for that. Why do these morons think every damn thing under the MCU HAS to be plot-heavy all the time? It knows what it wanted to be, and it was fun. Like I said, not the best, but far from the worst. Do I wanna see She-Hulk season 2? Sure, but if it doesn't get renewed, then oh well. I'm still wanting a season 2 of Moon Knight.
But despite all things, no, this show DOESN'T hate men. Not all men, at least. But if anyone watched the show, there IS women in this that the show makes fun of. Or are you gonna yap at me with a conspiracy theory that 'women aren't real'. I wish I was kidding about that. Nah, this show just hates the assholes; men and women. But there's good parts on both sides too. But I ain't holding my breath for these guys to rub two braincells together to finally learn this.
Anyhoo, thanks for coming to my TED-Talk, peace out.
Thanks for your time. ^^
But that's the name of the game with this journal, since the Disney+ 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' has been trolling the trolls. Good, they need to be taken down a peg. But is that why she's listed as a 'loathsome' character in their minds? Like seriously, She-Hulk is a loathsome character because she doesn't wanna be a superhero per se, and wanna focus on being a lawyer? If these guys actually WATCH the show, they'll see there's layers to her that made her an enduring character to me. It's the reluctant hero ditty. Sure, the show's not the best, but far from being the worst. Then again, these dumbasses have routinely harped that anything staring WHAMEN will automatically ruin something, and it makes everything POLITICAL just for being there. And they sure has hellfire have done this with many a MCU product. Dare I mention the two Captain Marvel movies. They've already done it with Ironheart, and when her series comes it, it's gonna be in full swing. They say there's gonna be a spinoff of Spider-verse featuring different Spider-ladies, and if it gives the incels heart attacks - GOOD!

Of Transformers and DNA Design Kits
Posted 11 months agoWhat up, my Autobabes and Decepti-gals.
I seem to be on a trend with my recent journals talking about Transformers… so let’s talk some more about ‘em XD
Since I started collection Transformer toys again at the start of 2019, I’ve come across ways to give my toys the sorta enhancement that… well, let’s face it, Hasbro doesn’t put in a lot of the times. And I’m sure many a collector has been doing it. Cuz we all always wanna see the best possible version of a toy we like. I know I do, says the 37-year-old dude who buys toys instead of getting a REAL JOB. Hey, drawing porn here on FA has led to this here point, and helped me paid my credit card debt years back. Don’t judge! I frequently buy many different upgrades from eBay, and there’s just too much to list here. Before Covid I used to buy from TFSafari. And of course, there’s the ever-awesome awesomeness that is Toyhax; giving us stickers and decals that’ll really make your Transformer toys pop and party hard. And lemme tell ya, I was not expecting decals of SS86 Optimus and Agent Knight to come out so dang soon at the time of this journal’s post. XD Today I’m here talking about the prominent 3rd party Transformer upgrade supplier that is ‘DNA Design.’
For any Transformer collectors, y’all have bound to know at least a tiny bit of something about ‘em. I’ve used their upgrades plenty of times. Buuuut… sometimes there’ve been times other 3rd party upgrades have proven better. I’m just giving a rundown of some DNA Design upgrade kits; quick summary, and a score out of 5. Just giving my two cents on them, maybe draw up some interests in case and collector(s) starting off are feeling Quigley about any of them. Mind you, whatever I list here are the upgrade kits I’ve bought. More than a few go with the Masterpiece line, and I ain't got any.
So here’s my list:
DK-06: For Studio Series AOE Grimlock, it gives you a proper right arm, along with several weapons that didn’t come with the toy; like his mace and his staff. Even a tongue for the dino mode XD A pretty decent enough upgrade kit. So, I’ll give it a 4 out of 5. I do hope they redo AOE Grimmy and bump this bad boy up to the commander class one of these days. Then again, there’s so many potential chars for the commander class, it’ll have to be on the back burner for a while for now.
DK-10: For Studio Series ’07 Ironhide. This kit definitely comes in clutch with it comes to the alt mode bumper; able to tuck into the robot mode. Make sure you have a tool that’s able to knock pins out BTW! The ankle-rocking feet… not worth installing, it just messes up the a lot mode back. The kit also comes with the guns he had in DOTM. Overall, this kit’s a 4 out of 5 for me ^^
DK-11: For Studio Series ROTF Jetfire. Definitely fixes up the combine mode with Optimus, but it definitely was a pain in the ass to install. Yeah, one thing to note is that DNA Designs’ instructions ain’t as clear as I want them to be. So, your best bet with kits like this is watch Youtubers like Emgo. Instillation: messy. Results: still holds up. So this kit gets a 3 out of 5 for me. But mind you, you should get this kit with the intention of getting a SS Optimus/Jetfire so combine them and keep them combined permanently.
DK-14: For Siege Ultra Magnus, gives ya new legs to bump up his height. Yeah, cuz that toy was a tad stumpy. Particularly the white can ‘Optimus’ figure. It also gives ya an axe and that famous hammer of Magnus, but this kit’s really nothing to right home about. It’s a 2 out of 5 for me, especially when SS86 Ultra Magnus had already blown this Magnus, and the Kingdom Magnus outta the water. Similar kits have been made for the toys that share the same mold, but I’m not gonna cover them. They all get the same score.
DK-15: For Studio Series DOTM Optimus Prime. It provides a better looking jetpack for the ‘Jetwing mode’, along with better guns and shields. A pretty decent upgrade kit, so it gets a 3.5 out of 5 for me. I do hope we get a redo of movie-verse Optimus and he gets bumped into a commander class for the DOTM version.
DK-16: For Studio Series; ’07 Bumblebee, ’07 Blackout, and DOTM Sentinel Prime. There okay pieces but you have to take them out for transformation. The only props I can give this kit is the better weapons for Sentinel. So, I give this kit a 3 out of 5.
DK-22: For the Studio Series DOTM Wreckers of one; Topspin, Leadfoot and Roadbuster. Gives ya better weapons and fillers for all 3. This kit also gives you better legs for Topspin. Definitely better guns for Topspin, so the gray guns he came with were so floppy. Of course, a couple filler parts will get in the way of some transformations, so the bummer part is you’ll have to remove those parts like DK-16. But it’s not as egregious. But all in all, it’s a very solid upgrade kit, so I’ll give it a 4.5 out of 5 ^^
DK-29: Accessories for Kingdom’s Dinobot, Scorponok and Blackaracnia. If you wanna reenact Dinobot’s ‘cowboy’ moment with he ammo belts, twin pistols and huge-ass gun and/or give him the hammer-stick weapon during his last stand in season 2, then this kit is definitely for you. Mind you they should give us a reissue of this kit fitting the ‘platinum edition’ Dinobot colors, but I digress. This kit also comes with a special piece that can attach to Optimus Primal’s chest with Scorponok’s ‘cyber bee’ from the ‘Gorilla Warfare’ episode. There’s also a better-looking Golden Disk, with parts so Dinobot can hold it. As for the goggles for Blackaracnia… yeah, good luck getting that thing on without scratching her head. Overall, this kit’s a 4.5 out of 5 ^^
DK-34: Upgrade kits for the Studio Series DOTM Dino, giving him better legs with ankle tilt. That gets a 5 out of 5. The kit includes better arms for the Studio Series ‘jet’ Shatter, which gets a 5 out of 5. Unfortunately, this kit also includes a better head for the Studio Sereies ‘car’ Shatter. And that toy will always be my most hated Studio Series toy.
DK- 35/35P: For the Studio Series ’07 Megatron; one for the regular one, and one from the ‘Platinum Edition’ (Which I still want a Platinum Edition for Studio Series DOTM Sideswipe BTW!) But yea, the platinum version of ’07 Megs is so much better. Funny how some paint makes a hell of a difference. This kit gives you the right looking chest, and the gun which didn’t come with the toy for some inexplicable reason. Tho every time I putt he gun one him, I’ll always yell out his line, ‘Join them in extinction!’ The installation is very easy for the chest. This kit is a solid 5 out of 5 for me ^^
DK-38: For Legacy Motormaster/Menasor. PAIN IN THE ASS TO INSTALL! It doesn’t make me use all the parts. Getting the extended leg parts in is such an ordeal. Next year, we’re getting the Aieralbots, and Superion. If we every get a kit that makes extensions, I’m passing on that. In fact, I might get a spare Motormaster trailer on eBay to keep the old look. 1 out of 5 easily for me.
DK-39: For Legacy Cybertron Metroplex. Keep in mind tho, I only got the extension pieces for his weapon/alt mode, since I had the option to get just that. With that, the extensions are a 5 out of 5 ^^
DK-40: For legacy Transmetal 2 Megatron. Hooooo boy, the only good thins I’ll mention here is the replacement right hand with a finger-pointing action, and the judge’s wig from the one episode. Everything is a pain in the ass to install. The faces that come with it… ugh, there’s a much better face upgrade from elsewhere. 1 out of 5 for me on this kit. -_-
DK-41: For Legacy Haslab Victory Saber. One of the best upgrade kits around. Much needed better guns and wings for Victory Leo. And the longer blade for Star Saber is very welcome. Not sure what was wrong with the face that came with Star Saber to warrant the face that came with the kit, but this is easily a 5 out fo 5 for me ^^ And Toyhax, gives us decals for this upgrade kit finally, please!!!!
DK-42: For legacy Animated Prowl. The sidecar becoming Prowl’s samurai armor is memorable, and this kit nails that. Tho the helmet is a bit wonky to me. Looks more like a bucket, still this kit’s a 4.5 out of 5 for me ^^
DK-43: For the Studio Series Gamer Edition Optimus Prime, which as been one of the only decent figures from that Gamer Edition by far. Starscream’s up there, and I hear the new Ratchet’s pretty good. This kit gives us fillers Hasbro most definitely should have done with this toy at the start; i.e. the back part of the alt mode that covers his hand. Installation ain’t great, and some pieces of it will pop out of it. Really, the only kudos I can give this kit is the much better-looking axe that comes with it. So this kit’s a 2 out of 5 for me. Do yourself a favor a get the TF: Legacy Security Officer Orion Pax from the ‘Fractured Friendship’ 2-pack. It improves on the alto mode so much better.
DK- 44: For Studio Series/Buzzworthy Bumblebee ROTB Optimus Prime. I only ended up using a 3rd of the pieces in this kit, particularly the weapons. There’s a much better kit that improves his alt mode. So, this kit gets a 2 out of 5 for me.
DK-45: For Legacy Armada Optimus Prime. Like the last, I only ended up using a 3rd of this kit. The only marks I’ll give this is the extended legs, everything else was just unnecessary. 2 out of 5 for this.
DK-46: For Studio Series ROTB Scourge. The toy was bad enough as it was. This kit improves it, but boy I hope they redo this figure much better in the future. I’m just gonna lump in DK-49 here, since it was suppose to further enhance… only to further frustrate, making me toss the whole thing away in the trash. Yeah, DK-46 was at a 4 out of 5, but DK-49 dropped it to a 1. You can keep that damn DK-46dx coming out this month.
DK- 50: For Studio Series 86 Snarl. Very good filler kits for his legs in robot mode, and in dino mode. The hands that make him point his sword at you are a little silly, and you have to remove his regular hands to do it. Not that it’s hard, the hands are on a mushroom peg. But I don’t wanna keep sliding it on and off and risk it be looser in the future. So this kit’s a 4 out of 5 for me ^^
DK-54: For Legacy Animated Optimus Prime, and oh my Lord, this upgrade is glorious! The kit comes with the patented ‘Optimus’ face plate, and is removable, and can leave it on while transformed. The plate really completes the look. Every piece is used and useful in making the ‘super mode’, very reminiscent of his ‘Cybertron’ super mode. If you have Legacy Animated Optimus, I highly recommend getting this set. You will NOT be disappointed. I might be tootin’ my own horn, but this is the best upgrade kit DNA Design has put out by far. 5 out of 5 for me! ^^ Boy I hope Toyhax gives us decals for this kit. And it’s really making me want a ‘Cybertron’ Optimus Prime in the future.
Well that’s what I got for y’all so far. If you’re a Transformer toy collector and wanna upgrade ‘em, go check these kits out.
Future upgrade kits? Well personally, top of the list, would be something for Kingdom Megatron (the platinum edition) where they give him a left arm where you can attach his tail weapon. Don’t know why they didn’t’ just do that to begin with? I wouldn’t have had to saw off the Kingdom toy! Oy! And I’m STILL waiting for better upgraded legs for the Kingdom Tracks/Road Rage mold! And for this next DNA Design upgrade kit, it’s for Legacy Silverbolt and Tigerhawk, and I’m really looking forward to that ^^
That's all I got on this one.
Thanks for your time ^^

Angelbattler and B.B.
Posted 11 months agoHeya, Squad!
Two thangs that have happened:
1) I made a another site here: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/angelbattler where I'll post fanart and just general stuffs, going back to my old DeviantArt days. Therefore I won't have to delete artwork here as I have been doing before, and I know that's gotten annoying to most.
2) The answer was right in front of me the whole time... practically spanking me right on both asscheeks and I all I did was fart around with other characters. She was gonna be just a secondary character, but my love for this kinda critter shoulda just said this months ago.
What am I trying to say? After months and literal MONTHS of character designing, experimenting with dragon and lion designs that just wasn't clicking with me?
Wellll.... I'm bringing back B.B. Yep, my first ever character, getting a revamp after so long. Hope y'all are ready ^^
Thanks for your time. ^^

Of Transformers and 'Toxic Positivity'
Posted 11 months agoWhile we're on the subject of Transformers, I came across a YouTube vid pretty much saying 'Toxic Positivity is ruining the franchise!' As oppose to being constantly and toxically negative about something???
Y'all should know me by now that I ain't one of those kinda terminally online douchebags that are hyper critical about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING under the frickin' sun, and think they're the supreme arbiters on what they think is good and bad for everybody, and think they speak for everybody. I'd rather be toxically positive than negative, but that doesn't mean I'll like everything about certain things in a franchise. And that crap has been plaguing the internet for well over a decade with the MCU and Star Wars.
I've explained why I don't like the prequel trilogy and love the sequel trilogy based on the character likeability. Yes, there's issues with the movies, but I feel that way with the original trilogy too, especially with 'Empire Strikes Back'. But the good I feel from those movies; from 'New Hope' to 'Rise of Skywalker' squashes the negative points I'll have. And that's how I feel for lots of movies I like. There's some Disney+ Star Wars shows that ain't my cup of tea like 'Acolyte'. I know I've explained more than a couple times that the only MCU film I've genuinely hated has been 'Iron Man 3'. Yeah, certain movies that people just love to bash on, I genuinely love for different reasons. The shows too; 'Inhumans' was crap, and 'Secret Invasion'.... well let's just pretend that show never happened. I'm waiting for more episodes of 'Agatha All Along' to come out so I can full stream it from beginning to end so I can make my own judgement on it. But I ain't gonna bash people for liking or disliking something. I'll just say
And that's the same thing with Transformers. And these are the same guys that will continually phrase G1because of nostalgia. Like with the '86 movie, but those nostaglia goggles are stapled so well on peoples' heads their phrasing do becomes cringe at times. Fans worship Transformers: Prime. While I do like the show, it can be overrated as hell sometimes. I was indifferent when I first saw 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' last year because of how the Maximals were treated. As I saw more of it, I thought at first I misjudged it the first time. But as I thought more of it... yeah the movie's bad. Mirage was cool, but even he couldn't make this movie better. This movie's up there with 'The Last Knight' for me. And as for 'EarthSpark', sheesh people are just bashing on it. Me? I've been digging it. Cuz it's FINALLY different from all the other shows. They're crapping on Megatron being a good guy and being redeemed after all he's done; genocide and whatnot. First off all, it's a different continuity (maybe G1, but that's bit of a stretch. Also kid's show) Yet people loved that in the comics.
How do I feel about 'Transformers: One'? I dug it. But apparently with the box office drops, it might not get a sequel. Only time will tell. Would I wanna see a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover. To be honest, no. Not because I don't like G.I. Joe, I just ain't a fan. Call me a slightly less than casual. Seen the movies, and 'Retaliation' is my favorite one. The only Joe I'll always like is/has been Snake Eyes. I mean, c'mon people. When have ninjas never been NOT sexy? I wouldn't have given a crap about G.I. Joe if it weren't for Snake Eyes.
If anything, just make the Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover a show. Who knows, they might make TF: One a show.
Point is, I like think I don't take things too seriously with what I like and don't like with franchise. If I like it, I like it. If I don't, I move on. I think that's my life's slogan, because I DO NOT wanna make that my defining personality like sooooooooooooo many of these wastes of oxygen have done.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk. Have a good day/night.
Thanks for your time. ^^
Y'all should know me by now that I ain't one of those kinda terminally online douchebags that are hyper critical about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING under the frickin' sun, and think they're the supreme arbiters on what they think is good and bad for everybody, and think they speak for everybody. I'd rather be toxically positive than negative, but that doesn't mean I'll like everything about certain things in a franchise. And that crap has been plaguing the internet for well over a decade with the MCU and Star Wars.

Some Random Transformer-y thoughts
Posted 11 months agoWhomever got the Earthrise Optimus Prime toy, who thought a potential Earthrise Ultra Magnus was gonna be a white version of the Earthrise Prime, and have the Ultra Magnus armor like the Siege/Kingdom version?
Now that we do have the Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime, which is rockin' BTW, would you object to these potential repaints: white cab version, Ghostbusters version, or (possibly inevitable) Nemesis Prime version?
Just some thoughts. Lemme know in the comments below.

Posted a year agoWell as you know, first teaser for the Minecraft movie dropped. And of course, its expected at this point, the internet naysayers are a-complainin'; judging from only one single trailer, declaring it to be the worst thing ever, blah blah blah. They did this with 'Transformers One' when its first teaser dropped, and everybody thought it was gonna be stupid just from that. You'd think people would learn by now. "It's the end of cinema", "Nah, cinema's been dead for a while now," "Videogame movies are officially dead."
*Heavy sigh*
And these people wonder why they're called snobs? Well, they've done this with pretty much any and every nerd-related thing on the planet. Why should I expect anything different from these wastes of oxygen?
Where do I stand with this? Welp, never played a Minecraft game in my life. I only know certain things cuz of Youtube vids. Check out the Merryweather Minecraft comic dubs. "It shoulda been animated", is also what I'm hearing. Then go watch the animated Minecraft things that do exist. Why do you constantly act like you're being forced to watch something you don't like?
Will I check this out? Probably. I'm a Jack Black and Jason Momoa fan.
"WELL YOU DIDN'T SEE 'BORDERLANDS', AND THAT HAS JACK BLACK IN THAT!" so screams the nerds. No I haven't, cuz it really didn't interest me. Again, I ain't judging by just ONE teaser. And again, I said 'probably'. Maybe future trailers will warm me up to it.
Will I make a Minecraft Special in the future? Well.... probably.

My first 'Terminator' experience.
Posted a year agoWussup, squad.
Well as lots of y'all know, I was sick with a cold earlier in the week. Still coughin' a bit, but getting better. But how ironic my present health coincides with today's subject, since that's how James Cameron came up with the Terminator via fever dream. Ahh the 'Terminator', the first of the many dystopian sci-fi action-dramas that's spawned the many spoofs, and home to such iconic lines. What with the 'Terminator Zero ' anime coming to Netflix this Thursday, I thought why not talk about my first experience with this franchise as a whole. Looking back at it now, it changed my life for the better.... but not without changing it for the worst.
As I said prior in my 'first 'Alien' experience' journal, I was shown 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' as I was getting into the 90s toyline at the time. Yep 7 years old, and that movie unlocked several new fears; being on fire, nuclear holocausts, the end of the world... yet oddly enough, not terrifying skeleton robots. Thanks, Jimmy! ^^ Welp, had to learn one day the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. How am I NOT in therapy yet? I still think to this day, there were much better, dramatic ways we could've seen that nightmare scene... WITHOUT MAKING US FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN OUR SEATS!
But all that aside, sometime later I did catch the first Terminator film with my dad. Didn't remember much of it then. Throughout a couple years, I would 'test' myself to see if I can actually handle watching the nightmare scene. Or if need be, just fast-forward through it as I did with with certain scenes of the first two Alien movies. I didn't hate the movie, don't get me wrong, just didn't wanna see that scene. Still don't to this day. Yeah, I'll skip that scene entirely, don't @ me!
Out of curiosity I watched 'Terminator' when I was 13 (that was when VHS were still some kind of norm), and I was able to fully appreciate it. And to me, it's my favorite of the bunch. It's just a good example of 'simple is best', and the effects still hold up pretty well to this day. Plus to me, the music in the first movie is more stylized and haunting. Saw 'T2' again shortly after, was able to fully appreciate it. It was around that time when I was 14, I found out my dad had procured lots and lots and LOTS of Terminator books, magazines, you name it. That's when I came across a screenplay for 'T2'. That time I was interested in writing my own stuff, particularly about an armored superhero I wanted to do since I was little. One day in high school, had detention for being late to class... CUZ I HAD A BAD CASE OF THE SHITS, that's when I started writing.
My stances on the Terminator movies:
Rise of the Machines: It's a fun romp. Definitely worth it for the TX. But not without its charm, cuz I didn't really care for the ending; they went through all that crap just to ultimately fail. Well, boy learns his 'destiny' or whatever kinda crap.
Salvation: Again, fun to watch. Glad it's actually set during the war. Still love Christian Bale as John Connor. (yes, I know the controversy that came from that)
Genisys: It's by no means a good movie, got some plotholes. But it ain't the worst. It really captures the essence of the first movie. So this movie may be a guilty pleasure for me. I liked it based ont he fact they ACTUALLY tried to stop Judgment Day
Dark Fate: .... I refuse to watch it. Not just because I wasn't interested in it, mostly that case, but the way they killed off John Connor at the start. And how Sarah Connor dubbed the new gal ' the new John Connor'. Not a gender thing, it just felt so uncaringly tacked on.
I have seen the 'Sarah Connor Chronicles', and I really don't remember anything about it. And I know about the numerous books and whatnot, and I haven't read any of 'em. The only game related to it I've ever played was an arcade shooting game when I took a break working with my dad at a fairground we were working at back in the day.
Yeah, franchises can make a great comeback like the Alien and Predator movies with 'Alien: Romulus' and 'Prey', but the Terminator franchise is one of those ones even I have to say has run its course. I mostly blame Cameron for that. If you didn't want to do anything else with the franchise, don't leave it so open like you did. There's an alternate ending to 'T2' that caps it off nicely. But y'all know me, I never wanna be that kinda guy. That's why I excited for this Terminator anime coming. And just like anything, I never expect anything 'groundbreaking', with the dumbass high expectations demanded by utter snobs these days, I just wanna have fun watching it. Timothy Olyphant and Rosario Dawson voicing are definite highlights, but we'll see.
So till next time... I'll be back. ^^

Sorry I've been gone...
Posted a year agosick with a cold.
We're Back. A FurAffinity Story XD
Posted a year agoHad to make a reference XD
My first 'Alien' experience.
Posted a year agoNo, I ain't talking about abductions, tho that would be nifty... long as they don't probe XD Nah, with 'Alien: Romulus' out, me and my friends are gonna check it out tomorrow, at the time of this journal's posting, instantly dating it. XD But I wanted to share my experiences with this franchise, and wanted to learn about your experiences. ^^ And before I get into it, I'll address the Xeno in the room and get things out of the way: no, I haven't played any of the games, haven't played any games in over 16 years. And I am aware of the many many books and novels, even the one that takes place between 'Alien' and 'Aliens' where Ripley's found, gets into another misadventure with a Xeno, Ash's AI goes nuts, and Ripley's sent back into stasis with her memory erased of that whole thing... seriously, what the hell?
If you were a kid growing up in the 90s, I'm sure you'll remember the 'Aliens' and 'Predator' toylines from Kenner. And I'm sure we all had toys from 'Terminator 2' and 'RoboCop' as well. Of course, as curious little sprogs who didn't know any better, we would latter learn that the movies these toys are based off of... ain't exactly kid friendly. Yeah, saw Terminator 2 when I was 7... boy did that nightmare scene change me for the worse. And that happened again when I caught my brother watching 'Aliens' when me and my family were living with him in San Jose. I was like 8 or 9 at the time, and was intrigued by it. Didn't see the chest-bursting scene in that, and I know that woulda freaked me out. No, I started watching it with the first battle scene, and I recognized the monsters thanks to the toys. And boy, seeing the Xeno Queen then, whew... and then seeing her shishkabob Bishop as he threw up milk... ick! Yep, was traumatized from that. Seriously, the oddest design choices for an android I've ever seen. Then learning later in life that 'Aliens' and 'Terminator 2' had the same director... boy that makes a whole lotta sense. Thanks for traumatizing me as a kid, Jimmy. ^^ Hell, I came up with a verb thanks to that. Whenever I see somebody get stabbed through the back I'll go, 'Ah, ya got Bishop'd!'
But from that, thanks to my dad (RIP), I got into the movies, and that's when he showed me the first movie. Of course I went into another room during the chest-bursting, and android puking scenes. Developed a fear of puking thanks to the Bishop scene. But thanks to that, I was always under the impression that Ash got ambushed by the Xeno then ripped apart, until 13 years old when I decided to face my fears and watch both 'Alien' and 'Aliens' in their entirety XD And oddly enough before that, I wasn't freaked out by the chest-busting scene in Alien 3, and would watch that in its entirety cuz no pukey androids. I was just an odd duckling back then. Still am, man. XD
But yeah, 'Alien' is one of my favorite movies of all time. Will watch it anytime I feel like it, day or night. I even checked out the director's cut when it came out in theaters. 'Aliens' is my 2nd favorite James Cameron movie after 'True Lies'. I even dug 'Alien 3' (or Alien 'cube', if you're cheeky XD) But man did that movie go through production hell. The movie's famous for just that. But if you wanna see that, definitely check out the 'Assembly Cut' of that. I think I'm one of the few that likes 'Alien Resurrection', Newborn Alien aside. But definitely check out the extended version of that movie too.
And of course there's 'Alien vs. Predator'. Again, the unrated version's better and explains certain things. I can see why some fans don't like it but it's massively underrated. I mean it's one of the first live-action corssover films we got back in the day. And I'd be lying if I said I don't have fun watching it. 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem' though... Jesus, that movie's nothing but a mean-spirited, barely visible mess of a movie.
Remember years back when I said that I thought 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' was the worst movie I ever saw in my life? That changed when I was finally able to see 'Prometheus' the prequel to 'Alien' a year after its 2012 release. Crazy fans bitched that the movie WASN'T a prequel to 'Alien' for some stupid reason. Back then, I was excited for it; Ridley was back for it, and we get to know more about the Space Jockeys. Boy I'm glad me and my dad didn't see it in theaters, we felt ripped off. From beginning, middle and end, nothing about the movie made sense (prequel or not) And the characters... oy, I wouldn't trust them with nerf guns with all the stupid decisions they've made. Then in 2015, when I saw 'The Martian', directed by Ridley, and that movie became one of my all-time faves, I decided to give him another chance when info of 'Alien: Covenant' was coming out. Defenders/lovers of 'Prometheus' swore up and down that 'Alien: Covenant' was gonna answer all the leftover questions and will vindicate everything. But guess what? Not only did 'Alien: Covenant' NOT do any of that, it raised even more questions and made its mythology boring by Xenos being made by a genocidal android! And once again, the characters were dumbasses with some scenes that made it look like some kinda 'Looney Toons' farce. Again, I wouldn't trust these guys with a anything related to a colonization mission.
What's really odd is that Ridley Scott famously hates the AvP movies for the creatures connected with ancient times, yet he did something similar with 'Prometheus' and 'Alien: Covenant'. It really gave me the impression that Ridley hated all the other Alien movies, including 'Aliens', and wanted to do his own thing.
So what am I expecting with 'Alien: Romulus'? Well it seems like its going back to its roots and hopefully it's not another thing that deals with creationist crap like the last two movies did. The Xenos seen in the trailers do look freaky. If this movie came be the comeback like 'Prey' was for the Predator movies, then I'm down with that.
Let me know your first experience with the Alien movies. ^^

Transformers: Of Dubs and Tanks
Posted a year agoA double whammy featuring duo lingo and double alts. XD
Great intro XD
Anyhoo, came across the'86 Transformers movie's Japanese dub a couple days ago. You can catch it on Youtube still: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLUpS8QPOXE And now you can enjoy the already traumatic experience of Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet and Ironhide's demises with newly added death screams! XD Jokes aside, the dub provides more added dialogue for chars who got very little dialogue; sounds that should've been there to begin with. And frankly with the fan subs it really makes the dialogue feel more natural, and not like the chars didn't read the script early on XD And I like the changes; from Springer's famous line, to Ultra Magnus' infamous line. You know which ones I'm talking about.
And from that segue into the second part of this here journal, if you're a Transformers toy collector, and are absolutely hyped for Studio Series '86 Optimus Prime, like me, then we all know about SS'86 Megatron a-comin' next year. And of course, they bitch-babies are in a tussy cuz this version of Megs is confirmed to be a tank instead of his traditional, classic gun alt mode.
Guys... why did you think Megatron was EVER gonna be a gun? The gun laws, and marketing, and everything in between all that, and we all know this. C'mon, y'all, Megatron being a gun was never gonna happen.
'BUT IT'S HI ORIGINAL ALT MODE! IT'S NOSTALGIC!' Who gives a crap?! Megatron turning into a gun should've never happened in the first place. Especially when he ends up mostly in Starscream's hands. Need I remind everybody of Screamy's treachery? Hell, he could've dealt with Megs so many different times in his gun mode, it's crazy.
'THEN TANK MEGATRON SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN SUTDIO SIERES '86!!!' Primus, there is no point trying to please these whiny babies! Go jerk off to the masterpiece version if you're gonna be this pissy.
Tho I don't mind Earthrise Megatron (the dramatic capture toy is much better, and I do plan on getting the Optimus version of that) I do hope they do a good job with this upcoming toy. Who knows, maybe they'll make an accessory of gun mode Megs for other toys to hold.
Till then, I'm waiting patiently for the new toys this Fall. ^^
Thanks for your time.
Great intro XD
Anyhoo, came across the'86 Transformers movie's Japanese dub a couple days ago. You can catch it on Youtube still: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLUpS8QPOXE And now you can enjoy the already traumatic experience of Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet and Ironhide's demises with newly added death screams!

Dragoneer and the FA aftermath(?)
Posted a year agoI've paid my respects to 
Dragoneer, but I'm also seeing rumors of FA shutting down?
I don't wanna jynx nothing, but I don't wanna see people go nuts and go 'Y2K', panicking over nothing. Leave that to cultists so they can win themselves some Darwin Awards.
I don't think FA would just shut down just like that. I mean I hope it doesn't, otherwise I'd have to get a real job XD Tho I do have Inkbunny, just in case, but even then.
But yeah, let's not lose our heads.

RIP Dragoneer
Posted a year agoI never met dragoneer, but I hear he was quite the guy in this community and on FA.
Well, I do wanna pay my respects to him. Thanks for making this site, which helped me make a source of income.
RIP, dude ^^

Of Thors and Snyders
Posted a year agoWith the wake of 'Deadpool and Wolverine', it's certainly gonna shake up the MCU with Mutants entering the picture. Especially with that end-credit scene with Monica in 'The Marvel's. And of course, the speculations are rising up, as it would in any given circumstances. I mean, RDJ playing Doc Doom? I definitely didn't see that coming. Am I excited for that? Hell yah. Do I wanna see Kang make a return? Of course. You can do it like 'Endgame' and build Kang up to be a big bad with all the other Kangs we saw at the end of 'Quantumania'. Suck that they'll have to replace Jonathan Majors, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Whether he actually admits to the accusations being put on him, we'll just have to see. That's the difference between him and RDJ during his troubled past.
Speaking of troubled, I came across a Youtube short on directorial speculations for future MCU films. Couldn't tell you the name of the guy who said this, but he stated that if they ever do a Thor 5, he'd like to see Zack Snyder direct it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGn25URIss8
Look, I've made it no secret I'm not fond of Snyder or his work. If you do like him and his stuff, more power to you. I'm not insulting you for liking him and his stuff, that ain't my intention. I'm just saying that -
ain't no way in HELL do I ever want him directing any kinda comic book movie ever again, especially for the MCU!!! I hate Snyder's nihilistic takes on superhero stuff and how 'Gods wouldn't help mortals' shit that was prevalent heavily in 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman vs Superman'. Or did we forget how the man hated superhero stuffs until the likes of 'Watchmen' came out? Or how he infamously stated that superhero stuff are for virgin nerds (something along those lines) and how he said that his version of Batman would get raped in a prison scene?! No? Not ringing any bells?
The Youtuber goes onto say that Snyder would make Thor serious again. When was Thor ever THAT serious to begin with?! He's been consistent in all 4 movies and in the cartoons and some comics I've seen him in that he's a jovial dude that gets serious when the situation calls to him to be. Nothing should be that serious all the time. It gets boring.
It's just like after Frank Miller did 'Holy Terror', he said he wanted to go back to Marvel to make Captain America stories. But Marvel laughed off that idea, and rightly so. He'd probably have Cap murder Kamala Khan knowing his racist take on Muslims. Yeah, I've lost so much respect for the man in recent years cuz of how he is as a person and a filmmaker.
No, I do not want a Zach Snyder directed Thor movie; all dreary, miserable all the time, devoid of life (not to mention color), constantly talking about superheroes being gods like it was beaten into out heads when we say 'MoS' & 'BvS'. And if he did, we all know he'll make YET ANOTHER 'superior version' that's over 3 hours long that doesn't fix the problems present in the film. I STILL refuse to watch the Snyder-cut of Justice League, cuz I refuse to watch things brought out by bad behavior in part thanks to his rabid fans. Afterall I did he the 'superior version' of 'BvS', and I hate it even more. And I refuse to watch 'Rebel Moon', his Star Wars ripoff. I'm done giving Snyder chances. I can never take Superman or Batman seriously again after his take on them. 'Martha' is still the butt of every joke after 8 years. 'My Adventures with Superman' is redeeming Supes for me. Shoot I can do a whole thing on why 'Deadpool and Wolverine' worked while 'BvS' failed. No, it's not cuz of Marvel vs DC, it's because we like the characters in one while we didn't in the other.
So yeah, I don't want Snyder anywhere near the MCU. DC movies have had a rocky decade thanks to Warner Bros. making bad decision after bad decision, hiring Snyder in the first place, and the fallout as the result of his influence. By far, the best thing to come out has been 'Blue Beetle' and I do hope they keep the characters in that movie around. I can only hope James Gunn can pick up the pieces, but from what I've seen with Supes new suit... THANK GOD IT'S IN COLOR!
That said, do I want a Thor 5? Definitely! Do I want Thor vs Hercules? Most definitely! But I can wait for that, for we got some interesting stuffs for the future.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Have a nice day.
Thanks for your time. ^^

Of Deapool, Wolverine, and Maximum Effort
Posted a year agoWell, just got back from seeing 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. ^^
Don't worry, I won't say any spoilers if you haven't seen it yet. But I just wanna address the elephant in the room, cuz... *sighs* God... dammit... I knew these terminally-online wastes-of-oxygen incels were gonna make a crack at this. By that, amongst the many a cameo in this movie, oh we definitely see Ladypool. And of course, they brand it their 'bait and switch' tactics. Just like they did with 'Loki' and Marvel Jesus only knows what else, decreeing 'it's gonna happen'. These guys are like the douchebag doomsday-sayers, saying; 'it's gonna happen here! Oh no, my bad! it's gonna happen here!' Cuz they know how gullable their like-minded audiences are. ALWAYS LYING! These are the kinda 'fans' that've never picked up a comic book in their lives, and feel they have the authority to judge.
But beyond that, the movie's definitely got heart and laughs. Where the MCU goes with this particular junction point? Who can say, but I'm all here for it. And I think you'll like the different cameos in this, some I didn't even expect to see ever again, but dang.
But yeah, your mileage may vary, but go give this a looksee. ^^
BTW... Hugh JACKED, Man!
Thanks for your time. ^^
