PB Soldier, Naseed Gifted’s Masterpiece is now available as a graphic novel. His work and influence continues to inspire both far and wide as he keeps on creating.
Quarantine has been tough for everyone as COVID-19 continues to linger on. With everyone stuck inside or under restrictions, it can be hard to find happiness from day to day. Thankfully, I’ve had a stellar anime/manga series to keep me occupied: Q Hayashida’s Dorohedoro. But this show left me wondering, is it best to watch the anime’ or read the manga?
Many white ‘voice actors’ are resigning from their ‘black cartoon character’ positions in the wake of the protests against police brutality. Is this a wake up call to the major media companies of America to allow black owned creators in the door or are they just pandering to Black America?
In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, I decided to see a few movies before the government decided to impose a curfew, shutting the doors of movie theaters indefinitely. One of these movies was Sonic: The Hedgehog. Full of laughs, I’m very grateful that the community decided to change the protagonist’s image…
In the past decade we’ve had some absolutely phenomenal anime, and so with 2020 here, I thought it might be fun to share with you my picks for the 10 best anime of the past 10 years.….
Everything about Joker from his actions, mannerisms and goals contrast with each other. One minute you want to hate him and the next minute you can’t help but cheer for him. I’m going to be frank, this is not a movie review article and that’s because Joker is a masterpiece film, no question. What I would like to discuss here is mental illness and how the Joker might be a warning sign… (Credit to artist for picture)
While JOKER’s plot may tread familiar ground, it’s the man we walk it with that truly makes this film stand out as one of the best films of 2019. It should be said that without Joaquin Pheonix, the movie wouldn’t work. But with him, this movie earns itself a 9 out of 10. Who’s laughing now?
From the mind of Soul Eater, Atsushi Ōkubo, wrote and illustrated a new series about the most badass group of firefighters to ever come out of anime. This is the story of a young boy who wants to be a hero all while battling the demons of his past. I Introduce to you Fire Force!!!
Spider-Man: Far From Home takes place shortly after Endgame’s conclusion, dealing with the world’s recovery from what they are calling ‘The Blip’, as well as the loss of many of the prevalent Avengers. Now Avengers: Endgame is a tough act to follow and any Marvel film that comes after it would have some pretty big shoes to fill. Unfortunately, Spider-Man: Far From Home struggles to even live up to the rest of its peers in Phase 3, let alone Endgame.
Most people dismiss Godzilla due to outward appearances, saying “every film is the same” or “the dubbing is awful”. Well, with the newest film in the Monsterverse, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, I think it’s finally time I said my piece on just why I love this giant monster so much. I love Godzilla because of how varied his character is, how varied the films themselves are, and how personally connected I feel to him…All Hail the King!!!
It’s no secret that video games have not made the transition to feature films well. From the infamous Super Mario Bros. The Movie to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Hollywood has struggled with how to adapt this form of media for decades. With Detective Pikachu, I can definitely understand why someone would hold Detective Pikachu at a high standard. Ultimately, the most revolutionary thing Detective Pikachu does is establish a baseline of quality for video game movies. If it’s not at least as good as Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, then in my opinion, it isn’t worth watching….here is my review.
Well readers it’s time for another Black Clover piece, but this time I won’t be writing about why Black Clover is such an amazing show. I’ve already stated that. Instead, I will be discussing why the main character, Asta, is considered the underdog of 2019!!!
I am a member of ARMY. There I said it. I finally revealed my secret to the world. I know I’m too damn old to be obsessing over a Korean boy band, but things happen. BTS has taken the world by storm and with impending enlistment, their meteoric rise to fame may come to a sudden halt. At the moment, I don’t want to think about this imminent doom and dread. I’d rather bask in the glory that is BTS and everything that has to do with them.
At New York Comic Con 2018, I was in a panel getting a sneak preview of The Reign of the Supermen, so I was pretty stoked to see the movie before it dropped on DVD. As a fan of DC cartoons and comic book history, I knew that Superman died, but is then brought back to life due to shenanigans. If I had not seen The Death of Superman I would have been completely lost during The Reign of the Supermen had I watched it without prior context. It was a cool experience to see these films as a person who had never been too much into Superman and because I saw them in unison, my view of Superman forever changed…
At the early screening I attended, every single person there was in stitches at every joke this film made. Not only that, but the film inspired genuine awe from children in the audience, with reverent whispers of “Wow…” when Shazam first took flight. I honestly cannot remember the last time any superhero film, let alone a DC one, inspired that much amazement. This is what DC was always supposed to be – characters we aspire to be, ones beyond us yet ones with values that we can uphold ourselves…
There is this unbelievably stupid myth that Brie Larson is “anti-men”, specifically, “anti-white-men’. That sentence is so stupid it hurt typing it. Brie Larson has a history of dating men, many of which are white, so either she's a supreme hypocrite in her Against White Male (AWM) agenda OR she doesn't hate people based off of the color of their skin or their gender and is fighting for fairness and inclusion within a system she finds lacking….I propose the latter!!!
For years there has been a demand for the first female Doctor. That wish was granted when Jodie Whittaker was declared the new Doctor. Many fans were not receptive of this decision and people said the show was now ruined because the Doctor was now a woman. Millions of other fans thought this was the moment of a lifetime…
December 2018 released the prequel to the Transformers’ franchise, Bumblebee. My only concern with this movie was that this was going to be another ‘style over substance’ film with too many transformers, little plot and character development, and scantly clad females…. I was wrong.
