2nd post of the day. I dunno what the hell man. Recently I’ve been reading up on wiki about superhero stuff on both Marvel and DC comics. Heck I even borrowed ‘House of M’ (Marvel) from my friend to read for awhile.
It seems that I am pretty sick of all these Nartuo/DBZ/Bleach crap. They are all heading the same fucking direction and I don’t appeal to these animes anymore. Last time Kakashi was cool for his Raikiri and stuff until he can suddenly shift people into other dimensions. Last time Byakuya was cool because of his Shunpo and stuff but suddenly ever one and his fucking grandmother can do it. It’s just not cool anymore. Expansions on animes just don’t cut anymore. I find that a really good story would involve a character with only a power and that power does not become more and more powerful over time. If anything, the power should only be growing very slowly. Even better would be a story where everyone has powers and their powers remain the same till the end.
Actually I think I realize one of the problems and that is having a move have a name. I can’t really explain why but it really turns things ‘lame’. It works damn well for fighting games, but I realize that it doesn’t really do in animes…at least in my opinion. Death Note was a cool show. The coolest part about Haku in Naruto was cool only when he does one-handed seals. And damn Shikamaru was pretty cool when he thinks of strategies. The hair chakra thing Ino used on Sakura was also pretty cool and so is Rock Lee when he moved super fast. Fights could’ve ended better if boths sides didn’t use lame “Ura Renge” or “Chidori” or some overpowered inner self crap. Bah why am I even talking about Naruto. Let’s talk about Superheroes.
Between Marvel and DC, I have to say that DC is better of the two. Joker is a great villain. Speedy was a hero who sank into heroin. Flash is fucking imba (at least the 2nd one is). But I find that the best heroes in DC were Raven and Robin. Raven is like…I dunno…damn fucking awesome? Okay I know I’m not giving reasons to support my fanboism but seriously, ‘cool’ is subjective. Robin, or rather, Nightwing (there are 3 robins, 1st one became Nightwing) has great depth. Heck I really really thinking Nightwing >>>>>> Batman in like 200 times over. They should seriously stop making shows on Batman vs Joker/Scarecrow/Penguin/Riddler/Catwoman/etcetcetc and start fucking making a Nightwing show. Batman is old, outdated, overrated and overused. How many DC heroes does the world commonly know? 2! Superman and Batman. For cool people, 3: V for Vendetta.
Marvel is plain. At least I find that Marvel is really plain. I had never found Wolverine or Jean Grey or even Shadowcat to be cool. If I were to name the coolest person imo in Marvel, it would go like: Magneto, Spiderman………………er……………can’t think of a third one. Maybe Deadpool or Dr Doom. Meh. Heck after reading ‘House of M’, Magneto is suddenly a wimp and suddenly his coolness factor dropped by a ton.
Aside from that I can’t really name any cool heroes from Marvel. Storm? Eh, no. Cyclops? Sissy. Gambit? Seriously I dunno wtf is his deal. Xavier? Probably. Quicksilver? Sucks. Marvel just doesn’t make the cut. The villains and heroes have no personality whatsoever. Magneto, I’ve came to realize, is boring boring boringzzzzzz. The fact that all the villains are united doesn’t help. I think that’s Marvel’s problem right now. They try to merge ALL the heroes into one big group (Avengers). I mean ALL. Avengers is a fucking fucking huge group consisting of F4, IronMan, Wolverine, Capt.America, Electra, …fuck just go look at the damn list

About TV shows, I’ve been watching lots of Cartoon Network recently. Justice League almost made me sleep. Batman was pretty unique. Teen Titans is fucking awesome. Too bad it’s aimed towards kiddies. I wasn’t really into the show until I saw The Prophecy episode. It’s a fucking awesome epi and Slade’s voice actor will go down my list for coolest sounding villain voice next to Agent Smith. Damn.
I almost considered to get CoH but meh, after recounting my days, it wasn’t particularly nice. MM sucks.
