2022

 

Well, I have not posted anything on here in the past year, except for this, my year in review of this year.

This year had the theme of 'getting back to normal' after the lockdown phase of the pandemic. And, yes it is nice to the world healing. But for the step taken forward, I feel as though the world has taken two steps backwards.

Through lockdowns I felt like humanity would launch itself into becoming a more robust, empathetic society, but this year kind of disproved that. I could go on about how we are taking no significant steps towards the climate crisis, or the ever expanding wealth gap, or any other issue that plagued us in the before times. But instead I want to point out that in 'going back to normal' we are letting the same narratives in the news of 'humans vs. humans' play out, and it is in all honesty upsetting to see. I wish that from lockdowns that we would see more empathy being extended in all areas of this world. I believe that if this were the case we would not be seeing corporations price gouge all of us (ala the hyper inflation we have seen this year), or the invasion of Ukraine may not have happened, and so on and so forth.

Anyway, the fun stuff from this year. On the poster above I really condensed what happened this year with the Oscar slap, the Morbin sweep and Wordle. I did want to add more things such as Elden Ring, Top Gun Maveric, Pokemon Legends Arceus (or Scarlet and Violet) and other pieces of pop culture that were big this year. The main reason I did not was because I was running out of time to put this together as it is.

I would of also made some mention to those who have passed on this year, such as Bob Saget, Pele, Kevin Conroy, and others. But there did not seem to be a way to tastefully implement that when I wanted The Slap to be the main focus of this poster.

I have been going on for a while now. I hope next year is more hopeful and brighter and that more meaningful steps are taken in executive/ leadership levels to help humanity get to the a more optimistic state for the future. Happy new year to you all.

I will leave you with a quote: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi.

THE BATMAN MOVIE COMING 2021

Image
With the "Worlds of DC" changing its line up of films after seeing its success and failures, Warner Brothers has announced that they are developing the Matt Reeves Batman film to come out in summer 2021. This news is something which has been speculated for a while now, and it seems like Ben Affleck is leaving behind the role of Batman and the film seems like it will be a prequel with a much younger Batman going on an adventure with a younger rogues gallery. It seems like the film will still take place in this same continuity that we have been seeing. It's not going to be like the Joker film coming out later this year which is separate from the Worlds of DC. Going in the future with this new younger Batman. I think we could see a trilogy with the younger character. In that trilogy, we could see the villains which we haven't seen before in these films or ones we haven't seen much of before. So we could see Deathstroke, the Riddler, Catwoman, the Pengui...

Season 6 Episodes 2-8: Hey everyone, since I could not keep up with the Flash season six this past fall, and the crisis is upon us, I have decided to review the past season past the premiere up until the cliffhanger where Crisis starts. Spoilers ahead for this season of the Flash. Plot After learning that he will die in the coming crisis from the Monitor, Barry Allen tries to prepare the team in individual ways to prepare for life post-Crisis, after Barry Allen dies. THroughout Barry individually preparing Ralph, Cisco, and Caitlin in various ways, a new villain, Dr. Ramsey Rosso attempts to cure death which evolves into something more sinister. Meanwhile, a new Harisson Wells named “Nash” appears on Earth 1 attempts to kill the Monitor and expose him as a fraud. The concept that Barry Allen wants to prepare the team for a world where he dies was interesting to see as it developed the team dynamic in a meaningful way. The team was learning that although Barry may...

THE FLASH "CAUSE AND XS" REVIEW

Image
Season 5 Episode 14: Hey everyone, we are back with a brand new episode of the Flash, directed by Rachael Talalay, and Killer Frost herself, Danielle Pannabaker. In this episode we see Nora get herself caught in a time loop, and with Barry out of the picture, she has no idea on what to do. So spoilers ahead for this episode, let's recap. The episode starts off with Cisco finding a meta-human cure, however, it needs a month to be synthesized, so Barry takes it into the speed force for an hour, as time moves differently in there. With Barry gone, the team goes to do separate things. Cisco goes on a date with Kamilla, Sherloque helps Caitlin with some things, and Iris goes to write a story at her office. At her office, Iris is captured by Cicada, who takes her on the rooftop. After getting an alert, Nora runs to the rooftop where Killer Frost breaches in, and Cicada kills Caitlin. Nora freaks out, and runs away, rewinding time to just after Barry left. Back in time, Nora writ...

Ever since the Firestorm matrix left  Legends of Tomorrow, everyone has been speculating about who could fill the metahuman void on the time-traveling superhero team. Now it is confirmed that Keiynan Lonsdale's, Kid Flash, from the Flash tv series is now going to join the Legends of Tomorrow team as a series regular on the show. The news broke from Entertainment Weekly where it was announced that Wally West will make his second appearance on the show in season three, episode 11, which is set to air on February 19. From there the young speedster will officially gain membership into the team on episode 13 which will air March 5. It was also said that Kid Flash will not be on any episode of the Flash leading to February 19. To start off, this is absolutely awesome news. Kid Flash was the most likely choice to have on Legends of Tomorrow. Legends were missing a character that could draw more audience, and Kid Flash can absolutely do that. The beloved character has been devel...
