marvel's judgment day event predictions

Image
  Recently Marvel announced a new event called “Judgment Day”, with the X-Men logo behind it. Said announcement also mentioned the likes of the avengers and the eternals. While we don't know what exactly is going to happen we can still do some armchair pondering.  Rebooting the X-men The modern day X-men haven't been people's favorite. While it does have some fans, people so far haven't been too kind to it, stating “this isn’t great” and “heroes don't have ethno states” . it is possible that Marvel is going to see this as an excuse to reboot the X-men again. While it probably won't happen it's my prediction X-men focused While we are talking about the x-men, the logo being the first thing they show on the advertising makes me speculate that it’ll be more x-men focused than all three teams being focused. We’ll probably see spider-man, captain america and ironman from the avengers but we’ll see more x-men.  The eternals will be dressed in their movie costumes

Microsoft makes baffling purchase

Image
  Today on January 18th, 2022, via their twitter. Microsoft buys Activison-Blizzard for 68.7 billion dollars. Adding them to the Microsoft fold with BioWare and 343 studios. While I’m not opposed to companies being bought out. It makes me wonder what the reasoning for it was. I understand that activison-blizzard is popular; but a controversial one. I’m really curious on how or if Microsoft will save Activision. seeing as they themself have had a struggling past with HR contraries.  Will Microsoft fire Bobby Kotick? I hope they do. The guy is a scumbag. Will they use vicarious visions to remake banjo Kazooie? I kind of want that. There’s a lot of interesting things that can happen. Update: as I write this Microsoft confirmed that they will not fire Bobby Kotik source:  (8) Microsoft on Twitter: "When Candy Crush and CoD become your actual job. Microsoft x Activision Blizzard. 🎮❤️📱 https://t.co/nw4cLoaoTB https://t.co/QPGt9DC2jF" / Twitter

i did not hate one-star squadron #1 (review)

Ethics and brevity: I have no affiliation with dc or dc comics but powergirl is my favorite kryptonian  Copyright: One-star squadron is property of dc comics and warner brothers all rights reserved  Background: One-star squadron is one of many dc’s recent mini-series in this experimental phase of them doing nothing but mini-series. Some of them are really good so far.   Also, this is going to be politically charged due to the nature of the context of the story,  Story: Our comic starts off with a three-page commercial for an organization called “Heroz4u”. Said organization is a superhero service for cheap. Parodying services like “Grubhub” and “Priceline”. While re-introducing us to b and c string superheroes like “Powergirl” and the “Red Tornado” putting them in a modern, ish light. Giving them a contextual look into them.  After the advertisement ends, we cut to an old man who's staring blankly at the screen mumbling a catchphrase. Which is a big mood, who is being taken care

Netflix to adapt Scott Pilgrim into an animated series?

Image
As of January 7th, 2021 “ The Hollywood Reporter ” announced Netflix is going to make an animated adaptation of Scott pilgrim vs the world. In said announcement it notes that Bryan Lee O’Malley will be writing and co-producing the adaptation. I am cautious yet excited for the series to be released. Netflix's history of adapting series is a mixed bag, with positives like Castlevania and The Witcher being moderately faithful. But shows like 13 Reasons why and Cowboy Bebop being bad make me hesitant on being excited.  Netflix themself have not made an official report as of now; however, if they actually are making said animated series then I hope it's like Castlevania and The Witcher

Konami once again fails to read the room

  brevity and ethics:  I do not have any affiliation or association with Konami or Castlevania  Story: In an announcement that surprises no one Konami has announced “ Castlevania” NFTs . for those who are not in the know, an NFT is a blockchain similar to bitcoin but usually with stolen art. Konami's Castlevania NFTs are different art, gifs, and music from the Castlevania 1, 3 and circle of the moon they have for auction. So,  it will be owned by the individual without having to make more than 1 asset. even though the gif and music are duplicatable.  Konami continues to be the sinking ship as they care more about making a quick dollar than they do about their games. While no one is surprised Konami would do this, people are disappointed as no one in the gaming fandom wants NFTs and adamantly hates NFTs for many reasons. On one end they destroy the environment due to how much greenhouse gasses they emit to process and mining you need to mine to make money. On th
