Man of Steel
No Spoiler tags 'cause you shouldn't be in this bitch if you haven't seen it yet.
Co-sign this most powerful of statements. I did something that I rarely do, I didn't read the spoilers in I actually wanted to be surprised. These fag ass niggas that complain about the lack of a spoiler alert are the same dudes that would complain about chitlins begins nasty as fuck after the forewarning. This isn't a film cite where we're going to discuss the dope ass acting, the cinematography, editing, the score, and the film's director. We're going to come on this muthafucka and talk about the movie. If you don't want to know the movie, don't come on the thread until the movie is released. It's a damn shame I saw the shit last night, but I can't talk about the movie, because I don't want to get banned like I did last summer for my in depth review of TDR.
After this movie, on some real shit, there is no reason on this planet that a live action Dragon Ball Z movie should not be made properly. I read some review where dude was like the CGI wasn't "groundbreaking" or "revolutionary." Get all the way the fuck out of here. Maybe not for destruction and explosions, but the fight sequences as far as human animation? Fuck outta here.
Due to the lack of name recognition in the U.S. Dragonball probably wouldn't get the budget or directors and screenwriters that would treat source material with dignity and respect. I can't just imagination the changes that would be made to a DBZ movie adaption. Also DBZ would be "whitewashed," like a muthafucka ala Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The fight scenes alone are worth the admission price. I even appreciate that Superman caught a body. I literally said "Oh, fuck!" out loud. Whole audience I was with gasped at the shit like, "But Superman doesn't kill!"
Word, I tripped off that and it bold move on Synder's part. I just wonder what will the ramifications be in the next movie.
Saw. Mixed feelings, most are good.
Tried TOO hard to be dark, IMO. The thing is, Batman works in the dark because the persona of Bruce Wayne is one built by tragedy. Clark Kent's/Kal-EL story isn't that complex, and the movie tried to make it so. By doing that, it took some WEIRD-ass turns.
I found it to be an exceptionally good Superman Elseworlds type of story.
Also, the weird xenophobic backstory as to why Clark played the background is bullshit, too. I'm starting to hate the "realism" in these superhero movies, throwing the US government in it everywhere.
Not really. Out of everything that was on point in the movie, this was dead on. Niggas would lose their fucking mind if somebody like Kal-El showed up on day on Earth.
I mean, where the fuck is Metropolis supposed to be if this is real America in the DC universe? We all know Gotham is NYC, but is Metropolis supposed to be LA? Chicago?
Metropolis is suppose to be the nicer parts of New York City, Midtown, 5th Avenue, Centennial Park (Central Park,) The Big Apricot, (The Big Apple), The West River (The East River,) The borough of Brookline (Brooklyn), the island of Metropolis (where the Lexcorp HQ, The Planet, and Galaxy Broadcasting, is suppose to be Manhattan.) Back in the day, (this is when NYC was still fucked up,) I was told that Gotham City is everything below 42nd St. and Metropolis is everything above 42nd St. Personally, I when I think of Gotham City, I think of Detroit with more skyscrapers with the corruption of New Orleans or Chicago.
If I had to rank it with a few of the more known superhero movies in the last 10 years:
TKD>>>>>TDKR>>>MoS>Avengers>>ASM>>>Batman Begins>>>ALL Iron Man movies>>>>>>>>that bullshit Superman Returns
TKD>>>>Avengers>>>>>Kick Ass>>>>300>>>>MoS>>>>Spidey 2
Aside that it kinda dragged, (which is to be expected in an origins story Man of Steel is the GOAT adaption of the Superman story. Synder really did his homework, because I could see a lot of the Byrne era shit in the movie. (e.g. the robots, and Kryptonian armor,) I'm not mad at Lois knowing the secret identity, (I'm assuming they might go with them eventually getting married,) I just would have stretched it out over the course franchise with her keeping the secret to herself. Though it would have been cool, having Michael Shannon say "Kneel before Zod," wouldn't have sounded right because this interpretation of Zod wasn't that type of character.
My biggest gripes about the movie is:
1) Too many people know he's Superman. To quote Lana's mom, "All of those kids saw what Clark did." I don't know, maybe one of those kids will pass that info on to Lex.
2) The Death of Pa Kent. This is my second favorite story arch. After restoring Kandor back to it's original size, Pa Kent is attacked bu those Brainiac probe thingy and has a heart attack. Ma Kent is screaming "Clark!" Then Supes hears her scream "Jon!" Supes hears it, then shoots back to Smallville. There no dialogue is those last panels. Just a mother and son kneel over the body of deceased husband and father. Shit was fucking epic and would have translated very well to film. Pa Kent's death made a lot of sense for the movie, but greatly diminished one of the greatest comic book deaths ever.
I have a question. How is a movie with Doomsday suppose to be done without it looking like Man of Steel?Another one of my favorite parts of the was with the exception of the Lexcorp oil tanker, no Lex.

Ever Wonder Why There's No UFC At the Garden? Feminists Don't Want It
New York (along with California,) has to considered the most bitch made state in the union. I've always wondered why New York State had this asinine ban on mixed martial arts. Madison Square Garden is considered the "mecca of boxing," has been the site, (along with other venues in the City,) of some of the most epic bouts in history of the sport. So one has to wonder why the most popular combat sport in country has yet to make an appearance. It's because these feminist politicians and bitch made male allies in the New York State Assembly believe the following bullshit:http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130424/midtown/manhattan-state-lawmakers-link-mixed-martial-arts-domestic-violence
NEW YORK — Lawmakers brawling over whether to allow professional mixed martial arts bouts in New York have started throwing haymakers, implying in both legislation and public comments that cage fights breed domestic violence.
"Due to the violent nature of mixed martial arts and the surprisingly high incidence of unchallenged sexism and misogyny displayed by certain fighters, commentators and other public figures associated with this sport, the prospect of legalization in New York state raises legitimate concerns about the increased exposure of our children to this new and potentially very negative influence," stated a bill introduced Friday by state Sen. Liz Krueger, who represents much of Manhattan's east side.
For the fourth straight year, the Senate passed a measure last month that would allow pro fights. In previous years, it's been defeated in the Assembly.
A concurrent bill is now moving through the Assembly. Krueger's legislation, if approved, would put an 18-month moratorium on MMA and mandate a study of how the sport affects athletes and spectators.
Three Assembly members joined Krueger at a press conference in Albany on Tuesday, along with domestic violence victims and awareness groups and women's rights organizations, who all called on the Assembly to block professional MMA fights from being held in the Empire State.
The groups cited growing research that points toward long-term brain injuries caused by repeated blows to the head, plus some of the bloody spectacle inherently associated with MMA bouts — familiar arguments used in years past.
But in this latest round, those opposed to MMA made the fight more personal.
“Our elected leaders should not condone the negative attitudes and beliefs about violence against women that are glorified in professional human cage fighting," Connie Neal, executive director of the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said in a statement.
She did not return calls and emails seeking elaboration on her comments.
Shaking my muthfuckin' head at the State of New York kowtowing to a bunch of angry feminists and bitchmade males that condoning the further emasculation of this once proud nation.

Play Owner of Marvel or DC
What would you do if you were owner of Marvel or DC? I would:
1) Institute a "Death is Final," edict. Both Marvel, DC, (and other companies) love doing this tired ass marketing ploy to boost sales for the month. The problem is that fandom has to endure bullshit, while speculators come buying the books thinking it's eventually going up in value. It's insulting to the fandom because we know the character isn't to stay "dead. Adding insult to injury the character's resurrection is usually hella contrived and ruins what was usually a heroic, touching, and epic death story arch. I would tell my creative staff that any further character deaths and resurrections have to be ran by me personally. If the character death is approved, the likelihood of that character being brought back is slim an none, unless the resurrection storyline is dope ass fuck.
2) No Homos.
I would ban all homosexuality. Yeah it would piss creators and GLAAD off. It may course people to leave my company, it may hurt advertising, but I would refuse to have my company the the media forum I love be used to promote and agenda. Either the faggot ass or dykin chracters would be killed off, cured of their homosexuality, or none longer written as sexual deviants. I would leave it up to the writers to figure out a way how not to make them gay.
3) No More Fucking With The Numbering
There was something special about the fact there was 904 of Action Comics going back to 1938. It showed the longevity and the strength of the series. When I bought an issue of 'Tec. Action, Superman, Batman, The Uncanny X-Men, or The Amazing Spider-Man, I felt proud that I was buying that had been around so long and it gave meaning to those anniversary issues. I was looking forward to owning Action Comics, Detective Comics, Superman, and Batman 1,000 when it come out in about twenty-five years, but now that will probably never happen. If they do have the thousandth issue of those books, it won't mean anything because they fucked with the numbering.
4) Have Something Other Than Superheros
The comic book industry is dying. If you don't believe me, the next time your in a comic book shop, look at the people in the shop, it's mostly dudes in their twenties, thirties, and forties. You don't see too many teenagers and youngsters in the comic book shops. Sometime needs to be done to broaden the customer base. I would take it back to the Golden Age of comics and offer something other than a nigga in spandex with super powers.
I would have a horror title, a mystery title, a sci-fi, sword and sorcery title, and possibly a war, furry animal, and yes even some shit Twilight, shit. You and I probably wouldn't read some of this shit, (especially the furry animal and Twilight, romance shit, but somebody would and that somebody might eventually be willing to try a superhero book.
5) Chill on the Events
I would stop having an "event," every summer. I wouldn't put a mortatorium on them, there would just need to be a reason to have one another than, "it's-time-to-plan-for-the-new-company-wide-event." There need to be a strong reason for the event.
6) No More Retcons
A continuity would be established and stuck to.
7) Characters would gradually age.
Kitty would eventually get into her 20's. Peter would eventually graduate from college and get stable, and I'm sorry, but some of those niggas from Justice Society would have to die. Niggas like Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, and Carter Hall are damn near 90 years old.

Is This What's Hot in the Streets? Cross Dressing Superhero Cartoons
Y'all niggas laughed when I told you, that fag community was out for young boys asses and they're on an indoctrination campagin, well here's your proof:
Gender-bending action hero cartoon ‘SheZow’ to debut on children's network The Hub
Breitbart News lashed out at television executives for ‘promoting’ transgender themes to kids.
Children's network The Hub is introducing a new super-heroine named SheZow in an animated series debuting Saturday.
The catch is that SheZow's alter-ego is actually a 12-year-old boy named Guy, who transforms into a female costumed crime-fighter by uttering the phrase "You Go Girl!" and using a power ring inherited from his dead aunt.
"When I first heard about the show, my reaction was 'Are you out of your minds?'" Hub CEO Margaret Loesch told the Los Angeles Times of the series created by "Julius & Friends'" Obie Scott Wade. "Then I looked at it, and I thought 'This is just funny.'"
Not everyone, however, is laughing.
Nothing says 'child-appropriate material' quite like gender-bending underage superheroes," wrote Ben Shapiro of Breitbart News, calling Loesch a "leftist."
But a spokesman for GLAAD fired back that criticizing the animated series for "promoting" transgender themes is, well, cartoonish.
“This Breitbart News article is just a laughable attempt at attention seeking, comparable to Jerry Falwell attacking the Teletubbies, and demonstrates a profound ignorance of transgender people since this show doesn't include any,” said GLAAD’s Rich Ferraro.

The fucked up part about is that Hub is owned by Hasbro, who makes my beloved G.I. JOEs Instead of giving us a go hard JOE cartoon in the lines of Robotech or G. I. JOE Resolute, they give us this bullshit. COBRA can't be a "terrorist organization," but it's cool to have homo imginary on Saturday morning cartoons. GTFOH!

What Would Your Philanthropic Efforts Be?
Ponder for a moment that you were a multimillion/billionaire or multi million/billionairess, where would you focus your philanthropy? I wouldn't be on "save the world," type shit. Mine would targeted mainly in my hometown (Richmond, CA or other parts of the Bay,) and in Far Rockaway, NY, maybe other parts of New York City and some other areas.
I would step to the West Contra Costa County Unified School District and the New York City Department of Ed with an offer to buy alma maters. In other words, I would to buy every school I ever went to (from elementary to high) I would turn them into academy style private schools, complete with school uniforms, (blazers and ties included.) They would be tuition free, however the district boundaries would remain intact with a students living within the zones of my alma mater having first choice, but I leave open spots for those that were willing to travel.
The curriculum would stress math, science, computers. In conjunction I would start a district wide science fair and spelling. The goal would be to send kids on to the national competitions. I would put the music programs back in the schools with the same intention in mind of a having nationally recognized program. The hard part would be to get the parents involved.
On the junior and high levels, I would put the home economics, metal and wood shops back in school with a business management component. In the high schools, I would have a free Kaplan or Princeton Review course, and have people from Cal and Standford come in to mentor and teach the kids going to my on how to get in. I've always found it fucked up that even Richmond High is only ten miles from Cal, that I didn't know anybody that went there. The same with Far Rockaway High. It would be my personal mission provide these kids with the best education possible. I would also couple the academics with cool extracurricular activities, like a school newspaper, a debate team, a chess team, and figuring out a away to make the sports teams competitive.
For those not interested in going to college, I would a true vocational school, like Job Corp (without the ratchetness,) the vocational school would offer job training in carpentry, plumbing, welding, auto mechanics, stereo installation, culinary, networking, and other shit that can get a nigga cool job after graduation. I would get with the unions so that upon graduation, the kids would have their union cards. Again, I would include a business management component, I would want my graduations to look to owning a business, not merely being a "worker bee."
I would sponsor the Little Leagues and pop warner football in these communities, supply the equipment, and maintain the fields. I'd also start a youth basketball program, that also had a summer league. Being that I despise the fact that Chinese are cheating in the Olympics and America had superior athletes, I would start programs in various Olympic sports, like diving, swimming, gymnastics. Considering how niggas love doing back flips off of the mattress, the gymnastics would probably prove to be very popular. My Olympic program would be the one I'd try to take nationwide. I'd also start a combat sport school either called the Gladitator School or The Fight Club it would teach kids combat sports, boxing, wrestling, MMA and various disciplines used in it. All of my programs would free of charge.
Like I said earlier, I'd would be trying to "save the world," but I would want to do something in Haiti. I'm not Haitian, but I think that every African and person of African descent should be trying to do something to help Haiti. The reason by is that out of the all of places that slaves were sent in the New World, it was the Haitians that successfully revolted against their slavemasters. I would also want to do something in Liberia since that country was founded by former America slaves. Since I like animals and I would go into big game hunting, I would do something with conservation. Yeah, I know, preserve the environment so I into the arctic, forest, safari, or jungle to I can kill animals, the irony is amazing.
