I'm happy. Bungo Stray Dogs got confirmed for a third season.
I'm looking forward to the new anime season. Steins;gate zero is getting a simul-dub. So that's good...the original is one of my favorites. I will also be checking out Tokyo ghoul: re, my hero academia 3, and I've heard good things about the Golden Kamuy manga.
So, I've been watching anime lately...and I know I am a bit late on this, but I want to talk about Netflix, death note and their live action version.
Personally, I like death note as an anime. It was released in the mid 2000s and I saw it back in the day on adult swim. It's a show about a very smart person finding a notebook that can kill anyone if you know their name and face. He then decides he will use this power to get rid of all of the bad people and make a perfect world. Obviously, some have an issue with this and a very smart detective starts trying to find and stop him. This show is like a mix of Breaking bad, Dexter and Sherlock and is based on a Manga (Japanese comic book) that is older than any of those shows. It's a very interesting, very tense, very dark series that happens to be animated. It's not perfect, but it's good .
Now last year Netflix came out with a live action version of Death Note directed by Adam Wingard (blair witch). This version was less Breaking Bad and more of a strange version of Final Destination set to a weird 80s/early 90s pop music sound track. It is not good. I was looking around and came across an article from while this movie was in production where the directed talked about making a live action anime and he talked about how anime is known for sex and violence and he would make sure that was in this movie. Now, many anime and manga do have excessive sex and violence and this is a bit of a stereotype of anime in general. But, there is one, glaring problem with this...Death note's level of sex and violence (in the anime and manga) are not extreme even by American standards. The show ran on adult swim and all but one episode earned a tv-14 rating. Death note as a series is more of an adult series because of its grey on grey morality, dark themes and ethical concerns as opposed to being mature because of just sex and violence. That the director was trying to assure the audience that the sex an violence were there made me wonder if he even read/saw the source material. I have nothing against the director as a person and he can make some solid horror movies when he is working with the right source material, I just feel like he was not a good fit for this project. Honestly, what happened here feels a lot like the not so successful pre- mcu comic book movies, or a lot of the current dcu movies (aside from wonder woman). The MCU found success from understanding the source material and caring enough about the characters, who they are and what they are about, to make a good story.
I don't think we see a good anime/manga adaption from the US until someone makes a project with this level of understanding.
And, I'm not even going to start on the whole white washing issue.
Sorry I've been off for a while. I'm kind of dealing with a shift in interest. I've stopped watching Agents of Shield last season. I still am watching Blindspot, but haven't felt the theory bug lately. I still am invested in Doctor Who, but am in a holding pattern on that until the new season starts (looking forward to 13 though).
So, what have I been watching/doing? I've been watching and enjoying the Gifted. I still really enjoy marvel movies and I have found that I really enjoy anime...I've been watching too much of lately.
So, I will be around, but may be covering some different stuff in the future
I think the problem with Roman is that he was fairly brainwashed by Shepherd and Remi. He loved Remi because he thought she was looking out for him. But, with Jane stealing his memories, lying to him and using him against Shepherd the spell she had over him is broken. Throwing out the coin is more than just a good bye to Jane. It's a good bye to Remi as well. He isn't trying to get his sister back. His motives and goals, whatever they happen to be, are his own now. Probably for the first time in his life.
Daisy has always wanted her friends to be happy... but I think her super shippering Fitzsimmons has more to do with her own grief and her desire to not have Simmons feel the way she has all season. In her mind there is no option. Simmons will find Fitz and not feel that heartbreak Daisy still carries with her from Lincoln's death.
In the season 3 episode Malveth. If things had gone to Gideon’s plan it would have been the end of Hive.
Gideon had collected the inhumans in the ATCU’S custody and had them on-site to meet Hive. One of these was Lash. So, in this timeline the second inhuman a weakened Hive would have met would have been a pissed off Lash who was immune to the sway and likely would have destroyed him right there.
I think Coulson's regret that messed up everything in framework world is his not leaving shield to be with the cellist.
All I ask for in Frame world is that Daisy at some point can find Lincoln and say everything she wasn't able to say before he died. I mean he said to her he loved her and she never got the chance to say it back. Daisy deserves at least that closure from this...real closure, not the Ward kind.
This is all the Koenig's fault. Too much fanfic on the shield server gave Aida ideas.
The only way I am OK with this plot line is if Daisy ends up being an undercover inhuman agent who infiltrated Hydra, but is really working with her underground crew protecting inhumans...the secret warriors complete with a Elena, Joey and Lincoln.
I’ve been thinking about the whole Agents of Shield situation since the ratings have fallen to levels that do not leave me optimistic regarding its future. I am not horribly surprised, because last spring and the move to 10pm while canceling Agent Carter and not moving forward on Most wanted showed ABC has no faith in the show. Add to that, the show was off the air durring fall sweeps.
Some will point out the getting Ghost Rider and the Slingshot Web series as evidence that ABC does care, but I think both of those have much more to do with Marvel (who I think do want to salvage the show) than ABC. And we know from Agent Carter that Marvel does not get to make the decision regarding shows staying or getting cancelled.
A lot has been made about the disconnect between Marvel TV and film. There is no doubt that there is a clear separation now. But, at the very beginning. I think there was a plan to connect the TV with the film. The TV people knew the real ins and outs of the Winter Soldier plot and we’re able to TV side tie in perfectly. Add in Nick Fury and Maria Hill appearing in episodes and Lady Sif appearing in one, it all felt connected. The problem was that Agents of Shield was not the run away hit that everyone expected it to be. It survived, but never exactly thrived. So, by season 2 the connections were much more limited, and it at least seems like the TV side had less script access to make the tie ins really work. Tie in characters were rarer too with Nick Fury gone completely and Maria Hill only appearing once. We got Sif back once. But it all felt less connected. Also, the film and TV management had a split on the corporate side. So, any hope of having TV involved with film was over . Season 3 was even more separate from the film world to the point that the only film character to cross over was,Gideon Malick, who had a very small role in Avengers.
I think at this point there is no chance of seeing reconciliation with AOS and the films. The film MCU have no interest in tying themselves to a low rated show that may or may not be ending shortly.
Also, there is the math of TV vs movies. Assuming a $10 movie ticket. And assuming no duplicate viewing. The Avengers opening weekend was 2.07 million. So, 20.7 tickets. In TV ratings, 20 million watching is good, but nothing historic. In fact, this week the Steelers/Patriots game brought in over 40 million viewers. The premiere of agents of shield had about 12 million viewers (the equivalent of a 120 mil opening weekend) but fell to a 5.4 by the end of season 1 (54 million theater equivalent...or equivalent to the lowest money makers in the MCU). The most recent episode had about 2 million viewers. If a marvel film made 20 million at the box office it would be seen as a disaster. Now, I give you I am using the live ratings vs opening weekend and it's not a perfect comparison, but it does show that far from all marvel fans are showing up each week to watch AOS, even though they do not have to buy a ticket.
My hope is that AOS doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, given their future is so unclear.
I want to point out that they boy who Ian shanked was the same boy who bullied him, stole his coin and sliced that big cut across his face that lead him to having that scar. This was the boy who Alice had previously trying to protect him from.
So, after the rabbit incident occurred, after the scar causing incident, Ian was put in solitary confinement with sirens (presumably to cause sleep deprivation). He fought to get out, clawing the walls until his fingers blead. And, when they finally let him out, the first person he sees is that bully. That boy who he has a perminant reminder of his helplessness regarding in the form of that scar. And what does this boy do? He asks if Ian had something else he can take from him, and he mocks him about the coin.
I’m not saying Ian was right in what he did, but, I think he did exactly what those running the orphanage expected of him.
Shepherd fears her people having connections because she doesn’t have any. Her biological family is gone and she has been consumed by her rage and revenge. She took in 2 traumatized orphans, but sees them as weapons. So, when people have a connection she uses having them destroy the connection as a way of having them prove to her they are her’s and dedicated to the cause…though this is not going well for her so far. Yes, Remi severed her connection to both Oscar and Roman by taking zip. She even had Roman deliver her. But, Oscar didn’t exactly follow the plan. When Oscar killed Markos (who was off mission) it lead Cade to split from sandstorm and I would imagine doing some damage. Jane connected with Roman with Roman doing little betrayals before her testing him by trying to have him kill Jane. She did this because had he pulled the trigger he would have been her perfect weapon with loyalty only to her. But, his connection to Jane lead him to turn on her and even shoot her.
Then we have Borden, who has truly connected with Patterson. But, again she is testing loyalty vs connection. And, Borden took advantage of the excuse not to kill her.
Am I the only one who finds it interesting that Shepherd keeps trying having people kill their rabbits?
CW: the Vampire diaries (ended), No tomorrow and Frequency. No comedies. Though this is because everything else currently running has already been renewed.
