My Man of Steel Movie Review
Posted 12 years agoI loved this movie, Everything about it was so good that it has proven to be even better than the old superman movies. HELL it was even more enjoyable than the Avengers movie (I'm dead serious). It has everything a good movie should have action, drama, humor, etc. Henry did a great job as Clark and Superman, Lois Lane was likeable, General Zod was an awesome villain, he was even better than Terence Stamp (Again I'm dead serious), the action was great, SUPERMAN FOUGHT SUPER VILLAINS,(about damn time) the CGI was okay, the story was good and the costumes were amazing. I was afraid that the distrust of civilians and the military would ruin this movie for me but i was wrong. I actually cared about everyone in this movie. Man of Steel is very much like Superman 2 but MUCH, MUCH better. If the old superman movies with Christoper reeve and/or even the superman returns went with this direction, they would have been perfect. Superman 4: The Quest for Peace would have been an awesome movie if superman threw punches for once. The movie has made superman relate-able and if people don't like superman cuz he's not as relate-able as spider-man or he's not as popular as Batman or have minor criticisms about superman such as how they can't get into superman books, then according to Martha Kent they can go to hell. I guarantee that you will like this movie especially if you are a superman fan. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. GO WATCH MAN OF STEEL, IT'S THAT GOOD.
My Avengers Assemble Cartoon Rant
Posted 12 years agoYesterday, i watched the new Avengers Assemble Cartoon and here i what i have to say. This show is not as stupid as Ultimate Spider-man. However, if you watch this cartoon, you will know that this cartoon exists just to cash in on the box office success of the Avengers movie. They even use lines from the movie in this show. The pilot does "kinda" feel like it left off after season two of earth's mightiest heroes, but this show proves that there's no other reason to discontinue the old show. If you were to chose which avengers cartoon is better, Avengers earth's mightiest heroes is automatically the winner. The cast is great, the action is great, the animation is great and most of all it uses the source material to tell great story lines.
Why is it that when you have a good show based off a marvel comic, it gets replaced by a dumb down version of that cartoon. Yes, I'm talking about how stupid it was to replace Spectacular Spider-man with Ultimate Spider-man. But to be fair i heard that it was SONY's fault that Spectacular Spider-man was canceled after season 2.

10 Characters that i hate
Posted 12 years ago1. Rick Stetler (CSI: Miami)
My God, I HATE THIS PRICK. He only gives Internal Affairs a bad name. He's a smug, unlikeable dick-head who wants Horatio and his team to fail. Even when he was arrested in season 8, it still felt like he got off easy. I wish that someone would punch him in the face just once. I really hate him, i don't care if he did something selfless and heroic He's still an unlikeable asshole.
2. Preston's Father (Blank Check)
Preston's Father is a tight wad when it come to money and because of this he looks down his nose at his son Preston. When his son was nearly ran over by a car what does his father do, he grounds him because his bike was destroyed. WHAT THE HELL MAN. YOUR SON COULD HAVE DIED AND YOUR RESPONSE IS TO GROUND HIM. SCREW YOU!!! I know that the Nostalgia Critic has pointed out the this guy is a DOUCHE, but that's not enough. Social services should take his son away from him. (Also everyone is an asshole towards Preston)
3. Seto Kaiba (YU-Gi-Oh)
Why is Seto Kaiba such a prick. He never respects Yugi's friends or tries to be nicer towards anyone besides his brother. Seriously, Vegeta is more likeable than Seto Kaiba.
4. Lois (Malcolm in the middle)
Most of the family in Malcolm in the middle are unlikeable but Lois stands out the most. She is beyond overbearing, especially in the series finale.
5. Melissa (The Hangover)
Melissa is probably the reason why women would be called a c**t. She is a total bitch and a control freak. I would have loved to see Stu being more assertive towards her.
6. Nova (Ultimate Spider-man)
This is Zero-Shift's most hated character and it's not hard to see why. In both seasons of Ultimate Spider-man, Nova is a cocky, arrogant dick. Even in his own comic book series Nova comes off as an unlikeable ass. If Jeff Loeb wanted to create a character to honor his own son who passed away from cancer, why is that character unlikeable?
7. Debra (Dexter)
Debra is (in my opinion) is the most annoying character in this show. She swears to damn much to a point where it becomes unbearable to hear her talk. She desperately wants to make her father proud by being a cop 24/7 and by being less of a woman. Why is that when woman want to be "strong and independent", they would often come off as unlikeable bitches with a chip on their shoulders?
8. Sally Avril (Spectacular Spider-man)
Sally Avril is a supporting character from the Spectacular Spider-man show. And she is such a bitch towards Peter Parker in this show. Her "Hatred" towards Peter Parker makes Flash Thompson look likeable. Speaking of Flash, while he and his friends bully peter, they do it to just to tease him. Sally on the other hand would make Peter Parker's life a living hell so that the social hierarchy stays intact. Even TV Tropes has labeled her as a bitch.
9. Maria Hill (Avengers: EMH)
In the comics, Maria had initially distrusted marvel superheroes. However, after a few event comics Maria has gone from a cold bitch to likeable character who is now a member of the avengers. In the show, not only is she a bitch, she's an ungrateful bitch. In an episode "Hail Hydra", when both Hydra and AIM were attacking the city, Maria Hill orders the avengers to join shield or else. What really pissed me off about this episode was that she thinks that because they're vigilantes she sees them as the bad guys. For Cripes sake Maria, couldn't you have let the avengers save the city first, then place them under arrest. Characters like her are the reason why i dislike the civilians in the Marvel universe.
10. Peter Griffin (Family Guy)
I really used to like this show, but as it continues it's gets more preachy and more mean-spirited by each episode. While the animation is great, the jokes aren't funny and Every character in this show is an asshole. I could talk about half of them, but Peter outweighs everyone. Peter causes so much trouble in his town and he treats his own family like crap. Homer Simpson is selfish & lazy and he may not be a great parent, but even he LOVES his family. And when you make Homer Simpson look likeable despite him using child abuse (Homer choking Bart), you have made Peter Griffin the worst human being in all of animation. I feel like Seth Macfarlane is trying to get Family Guy Canceled, just so that he could work on other projects.

My 5 most hated Cliches and/or Tropes
Posted 12 years agoHave you ever watch a show or a movie while getting pissed off due to some cliches. Well here are my Top 5 most hated Cliches.
5. Cliffhanger Endings
Does it ever piss you off when you're watching a movie and at the end of the film it ends in a cliffhanger? Well sometimes, it's there to foreshadow a sequel, but doesn't really piss you off when after they show a cliffhanger in a movie or a TV series, it doesn't follow up. Your show/movie would end without a proper conclusion and they leave plot holes and questions unanswered. Why bother watching a show if it doesn't end in a satisfying way.
4. Misunderstandings
Why is it that in movies and more so in daytime soap operas would often have man and a woman be hostile to one another at first then they get together at the end? If this is supposed to be character development, then i have this kind of development real annoying real fast. Why can't people just get to know one another before assuming the worst in people. I really hate it when characters get off on the wrong foot and would jump to conclusions about a person without giving them the benefit of the doubt.
3. Adults are Useless
Have you ever watched a kids movie where kids would tell their parents about something strange but they won't believe you? And when they do, they don't do anything that much. Now i get that it makes sense that adults won't believe a weird story, however, this trope is establishing that all adults are stupid especially in kids movies. And do you know another kind of adult that are unless in movies? Cops. Why is it that in most movies, cops are often vilified as unlikeable bullies. I get that the police in the real world are often slandered with news of police brutality and corruption, but must Hollywood continue to denigrate the police just to make a main character likeable and competent by comparison?
2. Unlikeable Characters aka Jerkass
What is a jerkass? A person who is an asshole to anyone and everyone. I guess having a character who is supposed to be unlikeable is the idea, but it really pisses me off when a character that isn't a jerk acts like a dick just because. In my "I think I dislike Marvel Comics" journal, I've pointed out that when people in the Marvel Universe act like assholes towards superheroes, it really rubs me the wrong way. And you know what pisses me off more than Unlikeable Characters, Unlikeable Characters who would get away with their behavior.
1. Kick the Dog
The Kick the dog trope is where a villain does something needlessly cruel just to cement the fact the he/she is a villain. This is why i don't like Walker Texas Ranger, every villain in that show has to do something despicable for no real reason other than to make the audience enjoy Chuck Norris beating them up. We get it the bad guys are bad guys, they don't have to make them out to be complete monsters just to get your point across.
5. Cliffhanger Endings
Does it ever piss you off when you're watching a movie and at the end of the film it ends in a cliffhanger?

It's Official Family Guy sucks
Posted 12 years agoI mean what the hell. In the beginning, this show was once funny. The characters were likable and the flash-back gags were actually funny. But now this show is becoming less if not no longer funny and the characters of that show have turned into selfish jerks. Instead of being funny for the sake of being funny, this show now has peachy and completely mean-spirited episodes. It feels like Seth is purposely trying to get this show canceled so that he could work on other things.
Happy Holidays

I hate realism in superhero movies.
Posted 13 years agoWhen it comes to superhero fiction i think that realism sucks. Sure in live action movies and tv series there should be some realism so that things do make sense, but if hollywood is going to turn a comic book into movie, then USE the source material. When Movies try really hard to make their characters and movies dark, gritty, and realistic, it just makes me what to roll my eyes to the back of my head. I get that a character should be relatedable to the audience, but i personally find it annoying and idoitic. Now a days we see less heroes in costumes. All i'm saying is that why can't superhero movies be more like Watchmen, It may not be perfect but i definitly enjoyed it especially since i didn't read the graphic novel.
No more new updates
Posted 13 years agoHello Everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that i will no longer be posting any more new commissions or stories on my DeviantArt and Furaffinity accounts and i'll leave around 2013. This is not because of something bad, it just that i want to move one to other things. I would like to thank Artists like Docwolph
Docwolph, cirotin
cirotin, JAEH
JAEH, Manthomex, neodokuro
neodokuro, kumbartha
kumbartha and all the other artists who have done commissions for me. And i want to say big thank you to rinjipantera
rinjipantera for his support and friendship. I had once mentioned that rinjipantera's character Pachua was what inspired me to create my own hyper muscled characters such as Queen Masters and Oblivion. And so i want to thank everyone for liking my characters, but unfournately you won't see more of them in the future. I'll still be around till early 2013 to post a journal or two. Thanks again and bye.

Marvel Animation
Posted 13 years agoLast month i posted my thoughts on a trope which is used often by marvel comics and how Civil War caused me to stop buy any their comics. At the end of the journal i posted brief rant on why the Ultimate Spider-man cartoon sucks. Anyways i would like to expand upon that and talk about Marvel's Animation department.
I know that the 90's was also known as the "Dork Age" of comics and that Marvel was nearly bankrupted at the time. But in the 90's, their cartoons were awesome. Since Batman TAS was getting the fame it deserves, Marvel decided to follow in that format. We got show like Spider-man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Silver Surfer, Spider-man Unlimited, and the X-men. Speaking of the X-men, i liked this show with a passion. It helped introduce me to not only the x-men comics but to other marvel comics and it was one of the shows that helped introduced me to their comics.
But around the 2000's, we've seen less cartoons and more comic book movies instead. They had also released direct to dvd movies. But since Marvel has been making millions with their movies, they have stop doing it. And while Marvel has been getting much success with their theatrical movies, DC has been getting much success with their direct to dvd movies.
When a movie based on comic-book or video-game adaptation, i would like for them to be faithful to the source material. Which is why i enjoyed movies like 300 and Watchmen. As much as i like how DC respects the source material by putting it as it is in their DVD movies, why is marvel comics doing the opposite? For example, Since Hawkeye doesn't wear his signature mask in the movie, they changed his signature costume for the movie version in the mainstream comics.
I want to talk about two cartoons that were just about perfect until they got screwed over.
Spectular Spider-man:
This show premiered in 2008 and it was engaging. I wasn't a fan of the art style and i felt that the entire season trying to cash in on the Sam Rami Movies. Inspite of that, I enjoyed the show, i enjoyed Josh Keaton's voice acting and i was happy that Venom got more screen time in this show than in the third movie. The Blockbuster Buster said that the show wanted to be loyal to comics and that spider-man's apperance was a homage to steve Ditko's design of the amazing spider-man. Like i said the show was engaging to a point where i was excited about a third season especially after the last one left many unanswered questions. But no, even when there's was nothing wrong this show it still got canceled.
Avengers - Earth's Mightest Heroes:
Oh my gosh, this cartoon was Marvel's rival to the Justice League cartoon. I had little to no complaints about this show, except for one nick pick. Why is Nick Fury Black? I know he's African-American in the Ultimate Marvel version, but for what i can tell this show takes place in the mainstream Marvel Universe. I have nothing against this, it's just that i want to know why was the Ultimate Nick Fury so popular other than the fact that his looks were based on samuel Jackson. But again, it got canceled after the second season, but at least it ended in a triumphant note. If they were going to adapt the "Civil War" storyline into the third season, then i wouldn't watch this show any more.
Both Specular Spider-man and the Avengers were awesome cartoons, that showed that 2d animation IS NOT taking a back seat for 3d animation, they were faithful to the source material, it had action and good drama and it wasn't dumb-downed to little kids to a point where it would literally insult everyone's intelligence. Oh wait that's what the Ultimate Spider-man cartoon is for.
Yeah Spectular Spider-man was replaced with a show that desperatly wants to gain the same success as the Teen Titans cartoon. It feels like someone's show but the excutives put spider-man in it because kids love spider-man. I said that in my last journal, the show would have been great if they remove the constant humor and the cutaway gags. If they really wanted a Marvel cartoon with that humor, they can do it in two ways. They can replace the heroes and spider-man with the "Power Pack" or they call this show "The Adventures of Spider-Ham". Since Spider-Ham was a slap-stick parody of Spider-man, the cutaway gags and the humor would actually work.
And as for the Avengers, they get replaced with a new cartoon as well. It's called "Avengers Assemble" and has the same roster and costumes from the hit movie. You know what, i get it the avengers movie was a successful comic book i'll give them that, but you DON'T HAVE TO CANCEL THE OTHER AVENGERS CARTOON SO THAT YOU MILK THE POPULARITY OF THAT MOVIE FOR WHAT IS WORTH! You could have just left the cartoon well enough alone and focus more on the sequel(s). So yeah Avengers: EMH got canceled because Marvel really wanted to CAPITALIZE ON THE AVENGERS' BOX OFFICE SUCCESS.
DC may not be gaining much success in the live action movie department, but they sure know how to make some awesome cartoons. Young Justice is practically a perfect cartoon for kids and adults alike.

I think I dislike Marvel Comics
Posted 13 years agoAfter the event comic “Civil War”, I have become less interested in their comics. I want to point out that I don’t hate marvel and I know that there will be good and bad comics in any comic book company. However, I would like to point out what I personally don’t like about the Marvel Universe.
The “Civilians turn on their heroes” Trope
This is my biggest turn off when it comes to not only Marvel Comics but any comics in general. You see it really pisses me off when people who are saved by superheroes act either ungrateful or just down right hostile towards them. I get that not everyone shows gratitude and that you can’t please everyone, but that’s not an excuse. Spider-man has been saving people like James Johan Jameson for years and what is his reward? He labeled as a criminal by the police while the Daily Bugle would paint him as a menace. Spider-man may have gotten some respect after the events of “Spider Island”, but JJ Jameson still hates spider-man. One other thing, why are the x-men still feared and hated by humanity? I mean the X-men have saved the world by themselves and yet people still see them as freaks and would plot to have their kind destroyed. The X-men were created to relate to people who had to endure prejudice and hatred themselves and while there’s still intolerance in the world, we live in a century where practically everyone who is black, gay or etc. are treated with respect in most countries. Because Marvel likes using real world matters into their comics, why can’t we have stories x-men have finally achieved their goal to co-exist with humanity, but they have to fight harder to keep that dream alive. In my opinion when a character shows little to no gratitude after saving them, you just don’t care about them. There are stories in comics where heroes are hated and feared, but in the end you care about the supporting characters. For Example, In the Justice League comic “The Nail”, superheroes were hated and distrusted due to xenophobia. In one scene, Hawk-girl flies in a burning building to save some kids. The police try to arrest her, but the parents of the children as well as the rest of the community stand up for her. This is why I like DC because even when DC superheroes are hated and feared just like the x-men, when a super hero save a life; people can and will show gratitude for their good deeds despite who they are or what they are. But NO. In the Marvel Universe, instead of being grateful, someone would rather point out their faults and makes excuses to not have to acknowledge that he or she is alive because of a superhero. Do other people hate it when heroes are treated like this?
Oh and by the way Ultimate Spider-man sucks. It’s obnoxious, annoying, the comedy is all over the place with those stupid two second gags, half of our protagonists are unlikeable (Yes I will give out names and they are White Tiger, Nova and Spider-man) and it feels like this show deliberately insults your intelligence. They want this show to be like Teen Titans, but it doesn’t work. To be fair, the animation is nice and the action scenes are good. But you know if they town down the humor then this show would be awesome. That’s just my opinion.
The “Civilians turn on their heroes” Trope
This is my biggest turn off when it comes to not only Marvel Comics but any comics in general. You see it really pisses me off when people who are saved by superheroes act either ungrateful or just down right hostile towards them. I get that not everyone shows gratitude and that you can’t please everyone, but that’s not an excuse. Spider-man has been saving people like James Johan Jameson for years and what is his reward? He labeled as a criminal by the police while the Daily Bugle would paint him as a menace. Spider-man may have gotten some respect after the events of “Spider Island”, but JJ Jameson still hates spider-man. One other thing, why are the x-men still feared and hated by humanity? I mean the X-men have saved the world by themselves and yet people still see them as freaks and would plot to have their kind destroyed. The X-men were created to relate to people who had to endure prejudice and hatred themselves and while there’s still intolerance in the world, we live in a century where practically everyone who is black, gay or etc. are treated with respect in most countries. Because Marvel likes using real world matters into their comics, why can’t we have stories x-men have finally achieved their goal to co-exist with humanity, but they have to fight harder to keep that dream alive. In my opinion when a character shows little to no gratitude after saving them, you just don’t care about them. There are stories in comics where heroes are hated and feared, but in the end you care about the supporting characters. For Example, In the Justice League comic “The Nail”, superheroes were hated and distrusted due to xenophobia. In one scene, Hawk-girl flies in a burning building to save some kids. The police try to arrest her, but the parents of the children as well as the rest of the community stand up for her. This is why I like DC because even when DC superheroes are hated and feared just like the x-men, when a super hero save a life; people can and will show gratitude for their good deeds despite who they are or what they are. But NO. In the Marvel Universe, instead of being grateful, someone would rather point out their faults and makes excuses to not have to acknowledge that he or she is alive because of a superhero. Do other people hate it when heroes are treated like this?
Oh and by the way Ultimate Spider-man sucks. It’s obnoxious, annoying, the comedy is all over the place with those stupid two second gags, half of our protagonists are unlikeable (Yes I will give out names and they are White Tiger, Nova and Spider-man) and it feels like this show deliberately insults your intelligence. They want this show to be like Teen Titans, but it doesn’t work. To be fair, the animation is nice and the action scenes are good. But you know if they town down the humor then this show would be awesome. That’s just my opinion.
My Top 5 Guilty Pleasures
Posted 13 years agoHere is my top 5 guilty pleasures which consists of cartoons and movies and why i like them despite not being that great.
5. Captain Planet
Yes this show was preachy as hell but you know what, i kinda like this show. I understand that they wanted to inform us all that pollution is wrong, but when you ignore the whole we must protect the environment message, the cartoon is actually entertaining. As a kid, i loved the plot, the villians and the closing theme song.
4. Spider-man 3
This movie was hated for numerous reasons, but when i watched it in theatres it was okay. There was plenty to like about Spider-man 3, Spider-man was no longer labeled as a menace, the special effects for Sandman were awesome and i was happy to see Venom in this movie period. Speaking of Venom, i personally thought that the actor who played him was a good choice. Even though Venom had little screen time at the end, i enjoyed the final battle. To be fair there were things in this movie i did not like. Like giving Sandman a family(Yes i get that their purpose in this movie is to make him a sympathetic villian compared to venom, but still), making the symbiote introduction half-assed, making peter have a stupid haircut just to show that he's possessed by the symbiote, having venom's face peel back when he does have screen time and having an empty "Is that it ending". Despite it all i enyoyed the movie.
3. Inspector Gadget
I didn't watch every single episode of this cartoon but when i heard that hollywood was going to make a live action movie of this cartoon, i was excited. I thought that the movie was so fun that i watched it twice on the same year. The Nostalgia Critic may have hated it, but i didn't. Unlike him, i found the sound effects and segways distracting than annoying, i liked how we got to see what dr claw would look like and i found some of the jokes funny. But as much as i liked this movie, i too found that talking car to be annoying and obnoxious as frak.
2. X-Men the Last Stand
X-men the last stand was another movie i watched twice. I personally thought that it was much better than the first x-men movies. The action was engaging, some of the scenes were well performed and i was shocked and amazed that this movie would add the "juggernaut bitch" meme to this movie. My only compliants about this movie are storm's new hair design, only 6 of the x-men versus a mutant army and that cyclops was killed off (just so that he could be in the superman movie). Once agin in my opinion, this movie is the best x-men movie in the series
1. Street Fighter
And my number one guilty pleasure is Street Fighter the movie. This movie got negative reviews and it was considered awful because of certain problems, but i like this movie. The reasons why this movie wasn't the best movie around was because the director wrote the screenplay within 24 hours and the story wasn't in par with the game. I actually give this movie props for making the characters look like the game and i liked the group shot at the end which was a homage to the game itself. In the game, ryu was the main hero, but in this movie guile is the main hero because he's jean-claude van damme. I may be a purist for these kind of things, but i had no compliants about the story. Bison is a dicator who wants to rule the world and it's up to the US Government to stop him led by Guile. I never played or learned about the street fighter universe before watching this movie and so i had once believed that the movie got the facts correct. For example, when i played Street Fighter Alpha 3, i asked myself how come charlie and blanka are seperate from one another? To be honest, i found Blanka's transformation from a man to a green skined brute from the movie to be as believable as the game story. The other reason why this movie was entertaing and fun was r julia's acting as bison. I thought that he's protrayl as m. bison was so good and so convincing that i had no doubt that no one could do better. This is a prime example that video games adapted into live action don't always make box office hits, but it's also a movie that would be consider it's so bad it's good. But if you want to watch a good street fighter movie, then check out Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie.
And there's my list. I hope that if they make a sequel from "The Amazing Spider-man" movie, venom will play a large in it this time.

Street Fighter X Tekken Review
Posted 13 years agoFirst off I would like to point out the positive, the graphics in this game are impressive as always, Yes it looks alot like Street Fighter 4 but it fits the tekken fighters just right. I'm more of a street fighter player and i like how they have added special moves and super combos for the Tekken characters. The Trials and mission mode is enjoyable.
And now for the bad, For a good game like this one there are some problems. Some of the characters have to be downloaded through DLC, online mode is choppy, but that's beside the point. My personal complaint of this game is the lack of colors for characters and there's no gallery mode. I would have given this game a very high score but because the release of this game got off on a bad start it loses some points.
However, if you love Street Fighter 4, then you will like this game. That's all i'm saying.

Marvel Comic Movies
Posted 13 years agoWhy is that they always premiere a movie based of Marvel Comics in May?
I really Miss the 90’s
Posted 13 years agoDo you remember the time when you were excited to wake up early on Saturday Morning to watch cartoons and not just your favorites? And do you remember anything else as a kid you used to do or enjoy back then? Well I do. Back in the 90's, it was (in my opinion) a great era. It was an era of simplicity, great shows and cartoons, good music, advancement in technology and a time of security. To be fair, the 90's did had its shares of bad times like the death of Princess Diana or the earthquake in California, but the good times would often outweigh the bad. In fact, if it wasn't for the 90's; the Internet wouldn't be what it is today and CGI won't be used or expanded that much in media. I don't hate the 21st century, but I find that back in the 90's you could even enjoy what made the 80's awesome. How do you feel about the 90's or 80's or even the early 2000's?
Michael Bay's Transformer movies... and why they suck
Posted 14 years agoFirst off, I know that i wasn't big into the transformers fame back in the 80's, but i too enjoy the mythos behind it. When i heard that Michael Bay was turning the popular toy line into a movie, i was excited. I was amazed with the cgi effects and the trailers looked good. However, i didn't watch the first one in theatres, because i thought that i wouldn't like it. However, i went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in cinemas because i was excited to see soundwave and devastator and... well to be honest, i liked some of the action scenes, but everything else was AWFUL as hell. Inspite of their mistakes, in my opinion, i like the action and the fights in the transformer movies. However, since the sequel wasn't as awesome as i thought, i opted not to watch the new movie.
Now, just to be fair. The transformer movies could have been awesome, but could not since bay has been using the same crap that was been ruining the transformer movie franchise. I would have enjoyed his movies even more, if the following changes were to be made. Here are points that would have gained less critizism.
Point One - No human characters or at least minimal human characters (IF IT'S CALLED TRANSFORMERS, THEN WHY DO THE ROBOTS GET LESS SCREEN TIME?) I understand that it's expensive to put the robots on a feature film, but why should the human characters get more screen time than them.
Point Two - STOP USING MEGAN FOX and the new girl AS SEX SYMBOLS. Not every guy wants to see women put in action movies for the sole purpose of being sexy. I'll admit that Mega Fox is indeed attractive, but her acting is just terrible. If fans wanted her to be in the transformer movies just to be sexy, then hollywood movies are doomed. I'll bet that rosie chick was hired by Bay just to look pretty. I HATE HER LIPS.
and Point Three - If you are going to have Humans in a movie about robots, give them less to do or make all of them likeable, since their acting is just that painful. For example, in Transformers 2 movie Sam's parents are literally Excruciating to watch. (I even close my eyes when they show up and talk) Oh and don't get me started on galloway. You know i can tolerate the robot twins that everyone hates, i can tolerate the noise during the fights and i don't even mind the slapstick comedy. But what really ruinied my experience with the movie was Galloway. I really couldn't stand that prick. Putting him in the movie does not make me what to watch and enjoy the movie, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. There is this woman, who is an unlikeable jerk and that it why i refuse to watch Transformers DOTM.
If they decide to make a reboot, it should not have have Michael Bay in it. Even i could come up with a good Transformers movie.
If i were to direct this movie it would have the following:
- The story is about the transformers trying to take control of cybertron, but they have to save the planet and earth from Unicron who will appear but in Planet Form.
- The Movie will focus more on the Transformers. (for once)
- We get to see Cybertron.
- It will fan favourites like Hot Rod, Grimlock, Ultra Magus, Alpha Q and yes UNICRON.
- The only human characters that will have the most screen time are sam Witwicky(this time he's competent, smart, outgoing, resourceful and is not a whiner) and Chip Chase the super genius from the original cartoon series. In the live action movie, Chip was crippled because he was in a car accident. Since movie makers want to create human characters to relate to, use Chip, he's a smart nerd who is paralized from the waist down and is serectly loathing that reality.
- Starscream gets to betray Megatron.
- We do get to see the military, but they don't take up the whole movie.
- Carly is in it but not as a sexy model(like the third movie), but instead she's a normal, smart teenager who insn't a damel in distress.
- Some Robots do get character development.
- NO ANNOYING CHARACTERS
If you think that my idea concept is better, worse or just the same as Michael Bay, please leave a comment and tell me WHAT YOU THINK. I know that my rant is long, but i just wanted to get it out of my chest.

Twilight... and why it's overrated
Posted 14 years agoWhy i'm i not surprized that Twilight has won many awards in this year's MTV Movie Awards? The Twilight "new moon" movie has won the best movie award last year. Of course they'll win this year's award too. In fact, it's very predictable that twilight will win the MTV 2012 Movie Award for best movie. Wow, this just shows how much Twilight gets too much exposure because of countless teenage fan girls.
But here's what's been troubling me. When a movie or actor appears and becomes popular to a point where the media would hype and overexpose them, do we start to hate them or hate the hype. For example, Justin Biever is a rising popular star that many people love, but there are people who hate him. But that's beside the point. Why must Twilight be overhyped whenever we get a glimpse of their movie trailers. I know that Twilight was based of novels, but how come I never even heard of the Twilight craze, until the first movie came out?
If fact, why is Twilight so f#$%ing popular? The vampires in Twilight, ARE NOT REAL VAMPIRES. They don't have fangs and They are more like fairies, especailly with the whole "can spakle in the light" thing. I guess the whole craze over Twilight will be over by 2013.
