Why I can't take Wonder Woman seriuosly

With a possible Wonder Woman movie coming out in twenty something I think that fans need to shut up so we can give this woman some pants already. I understand that the fans have fallen in love with her bikini babe outfit but honestly as a guy i feel the uniform is extremely sexist. Diana is suppose to be an Amazon warrior Princess but to me she looks more like a pinup girl she has no real muscles in most comics and cartoons I've seen her in. Plus if i was a criminal every time I'd see her I'd most likely try to pick her up rather then think oh shit it's Wonder Woman i should run. I think they should go with the Injustice: Gods Among Us look wear she not only has pants but she also has She-Hulk level muscle wear it's sexy and threaten yet not to the point you might mistake her for a man. Now weapons she needs to carry the short sword and shield cause for an Amazon Princess that was trained in older forms of combat she comes to the USA and never displays any of her training except punching people/stuff really hard. Cause I feel they focus too much on the fact that she is a beautiful woman half and less the fact that she's a bad-ass. Honestly how many guys see Wonder Woman and think now that's an empowered woman cause at first glance all i think is I can fap to that. Lastly either how she gets the name Wonder Woman cause it not like she has a secret identity or just call her Diana and drop it completely.

Megamind Review Spoiler

The movie is like watching a failed NASA launch it starts out great but then crashes and burns. The movie is nothing more then a bad Superman parody. It begins with both Megamind's and Metro Man's planets exploding but before Megamind is sent off his father says something that gets cut off and that's never exampled. Megamind is raised by criminals and Metro Man is raised by a rich family yet they go to the same school? To add insult to injury none of the prison guards ever try to contact the government or Child Protective Services about the blue alien that landed in their jail instead the just sent him off to school everyday. After being picked on by Metro Man and his classmate who basically have judged him when all he was trying to do was fit in he tells himself "if I can't be good at being good I'll be good at being bad". When he does that closed mouth evil smile as a kid that's about as evil as he gets, time pass and with some odd luck Megamind kills Metro Man which i had no emotion reaction because Metro Man from get go was an ass. With Metro Man defeated Megamind is free to rule over the city which would be threaten if how he destroyed the city wasn't so childish. The rest of the movie is Megamind gets bored and creates Titan another hero for him to fight who turns evil now Megamind must use his past evil inventions to save the day. The story was predictable and it's not a villain movie it's a redemption movie for kids. The character were just poorly crafted staring with Metro Man who's an ass hat throughout the movie but, there's a point when he's talking about why he faked his death that I actually felt for him until he said that he now he'll be Music Man just so he can keep the M symbol. Then there's Roxanne Ritchie who takes all the female empowerment of Lois Lane and never shows any of it the only reason she's in the movie was so that Megamind had a romantic relationship and it's so forced. Hal Stewart/Titan is the creepy "friend" of Roxanne who's creepy level is over 9000 plus the only reason he become evil is because Roxanne won't date him WTF man! Megamind I feel for but because his not really a villain but a product of his environment, upbringing and abuse at the hands of Metro Man as a child. The scene when he snaps and becomes "evil" really is him just losing the battle against Stockholm Syndrome. Last thing that makes Megamind an odd character is the fact that the movie really focuses on the man-love Megamind has for Metro Man. The jokes/running gags are flat out terrible and they get worst as they're told again and again. The movie realize too much on the star power of it rather than good writing and truly funny jokes.

My Rating: Didn't live up to anything that was said about it: 3/10

Transformers Prime Darkness Rising Review

I liked it more than I thought i would. The story is the same old setup Autobots stuck on Earth and Decepticons trying to kill them for energon. What I liked about the first five episodes is that the directors of the show didn't try to cramp the plot into one episode instead building up the characters and their respective relationships. Also the show uses the three children Miko Nakadai, Jack Darby, and Rafael "Raf" Esquivel to ask questions such as why are the Autobots on Earth and why they can't go home? This provides the audience with details needed to understand why the Autobots do what they do lastly, it gives an emotion moment when they destroy their only way home trapping them on Earth. The bad side of the story is that it's nothing new form previous cartoon of the same name. The Autobots are still stuck on Earth and out gunned by the Decepticons. Somehow three kid get entangled which the Autobots even though nobody else has seen them, for the most part the plot was predictable. Even with a predictable plot the saving grace was the character relationships first is Optimus Prime and Ratchet old war buddies that have a pretty simple relationship which was shown best through the actions they take instead of the words they share. Their relationship works well for what is, Ratchet is an old bot set in his ways who sees human as nothing more then a problem. On the other hand we have Optimus who can't afford to be stubborn having to think about the safety of humans and Autobots alike. Having Ratchet someone who is most like to shot first ask question never as his second in command keeps Optimus honest. Like I said their best scenes is when they don't need to talk their body language says everything. Miko and Bulkhead have a great relationship simply because he's a ten ton war machine but yet she runs him and makes in look easy without ever making him look spineless. Bumble Bee and Rafael's relationship works well because Raf forms an instant connect with Bumble Bee, plus he's the only human that can understand Bumble Bee. Final reason is during the plot it is shown that Bumble Bee is the kid of the Autobots and now finally he has someone to play with that won't look down on him cause he wants to chill and play some video games. Last but not least is Jack and Arcee my favorite team up both characters are going though a serious change in life so you get to see how their leaning on one another just to get though. Plus the voice actors really make the characters come to life by bringing their A game and showing emotion depth. Jack hates his life most likely has some father issues with a single mom at home, form the beginning the show shows that Jack wants to be normal he wants to be having fun rather then having to work now comes the craziness of the Autobots to make his life even more complex. Arcee has just lost a partner with the death of Cliffjumper she's anger, pissed and now has to play babysitter a human that she views as an pain in the ass. After sometime Arcee starts to warm up to Jack to the point that she likes having Jack around on the flip side Jack can't handled being shot at hoping to be saved by her every time his in harms way. Arcee asks Jack not to quit and he comes back with iffy feelings still, which completely changes when he sees that she was nearly killed on a mission. Basically showing that if his not going to stay for himself he'll at least stay for her sake. All in all the plot episodes really have me looking forward to the episodes to come.

My rating: I wasn't bored and looking forward to watching more Transformers Prime: 7.4/10

Highschool USA! Episode 1 and 2 Review

It's like if Archie comics tried being so uncool that so how they become cool. It's seriously bad i watched two episodes and that nothing good the say. Fuck it the show sucks.

Serenity Review Spoiler

Not doing a Firefly Spoiler Review simply because it fourteen episodes of Joss Whedon's masterpiece the needs to be watched by everybody, my words can't do it justice it's so good. Now for Serenity the movie was pretty much Joss Whedon chance to end the Firefly series, which is why this movie was so bad. Because it was a movie in theaters changes had to be made for mainstream audiences which i personally hate. First change is with the crew it like until Inara, played by Morena Baccarin, showed up all the characters development was reset. Second change was this is a movie for fans so characters like Hoban, played by Alan Tudyk, and Kaylee, played by Jewel Staite, got too much scene time cause there is a point in the movie that they get off the ship and i thought to myself why? The two people that run the whole damn ship just got off when your in the Reaver territory great idea captain. This movies major problem is that the characters are over seen and under used when in Firefly you wanted to see more of every character and no character was under used but used perfectly in every episode they're seen in. Moving on to dislikes, the first is Wash's death while Book's death gave emotion and moved the story along Wash's death made me think why i mean if the point was to make Zoe mad they could have just had the Reavers take one of his leg or both of them. That the end of the movie Zoe was still mad but it seem like none of it was directed at Mel the captain the man who gave the order that indirectly killed Wash. Too much River, River's crazy worked in Firefly cause she didn't have a lot of scene time so when she did something crazy it felt out of the blue even though she did something ever episode. In Serenity Mel felt more like a war vet still holding on to the war rather then a smart-ass torn between the war he lost and present day, also i didn't feel the cold shoulder he gives his crew to stay emotionally detracted and  the respect form his crew has for him because of all the tight spots he get them out of. In Firefly i liked how the Reavers were never shown as if they were space boogeymen. With the Reavers as boogeymen it made me feel like a helps kid again with the boogeyman wait for me in my closet or under my bed. Lastly the movie felt like it dragged in places, there are predictable moments the suck the emotion out of some things basically if you watched Firefly you'll feel like the smart kid in a slow class. It terrible because the real problem of the movie is not enough time with too much story.

My Rating: Just watch Firefly again and cry that FOX cancelled it: 5/10

Firefly Spoiler Free Review

First of course is Firefly in a nutshell Firefly is perfect all fourteen episodes were needed, this is Joss Whedon master piece. The plot was nothing new but that doesn't mark against the show instead gives more room for character development without being overly predictable and ruining the direction of the show. Whedon did a great job with a large cast cause normally characters fall into a pattern or get killed off, plus none of the characters seem to take up scene time. Looking back on episodes no character was used to kill time and no character was given too much scene time. Each episode did it's job by making you want more therefore making you want to watch the next episode. Joss Whedon also did a great job at addressed the problem that real people would have in the place of the characters truly being them to life. Now I get why everybody who talks about this show gives it such praise The actresses/actors pull you into the world that Joss Whedon beautifully created. If you have not watch Firefly watch it you will not be disappointed.

My rating: Fucking Flawless :10/10
