Welcome in!

Here in this blog is where I talk about whatever I might be playing, watching, or reading lately. Sometimes that might be a full review, sometimes it's a random thought, and sometimes it just might be why I think something works or doesn't work.

This page is just casual and relaxed vibes. I type exactly the same way as I think or talk. Nothing is really scripted or thought out too much. It's just how I feel about the stuff I'm into.

If you like movies, TV shows, games, or comics and enjoy hearing someone ramble about them then you'll probably enjoy this place.

Digital Circus is coming to an end.

So this is it, the day of the Digital Circus finale. I'm both excited and a little sad. I remember coming across the pilot episode all those years ago and loving it. Crazy to think it's been almost three years since then. I would have never guessed that I would be watching this goofy show in theaters when I watched that first pilot episode back then.

It's always sad finishing a show, especially one that you've loved like this one. But I'm sure there will be another one that will come along to fill it's place when it's gone.

Every live-action Batman logo ranked

So I've been a fan of Batman for as long as I can remember. So I had the idea of ranking all the live-action Batman logos.

Starting us off is the 1949 Batman from Batman and Robin. The design is interesting, but just not something I can really see as Batman.

Next up is the 1943 Batman logo from Batman. This one is closer to design to what you would think of when you think Batman, but still not exactly there. It has those weird ears that just look out of place.

So this next one hurts me a little. I loved Ben Affleck as Batman, I even loved his suit design, but man that logo was awful. On the suit it does look pretty cool and works well, I will admit. But by itself it just look really fat and weird.

I never liked Christian Bale as Batman and honestly he's got some of the weaker suits because they are mostly just black on black on black so there's no surprise his suit is this high up.

I think everyone can agree that Adam West is a great Batman. His show is great, he's amazing, his suit is great, everything is great. But that logo is just goofy, but it did lead to a lot better logos.

I think we all can agree that George Clooney was probably not suited for Batman, even he will agree with that. However I think more than anything that big silver logo was just a mistake.

There is a slight improvement with the black one, but not by much.

This next one is going to be controversial, but I have to say it. Michael Keaton's Batman logo isn't the best one. Don't get me wrong it's good for sure and obviously iconic, but not at all my favorite.

Speaking of yellow logos here's another one in the same universe as Keaton's that I'd say is just as iconic, but also not my cup of tea.

So back to Keaton, did you know his logo was different depending on the movie? It is, but very slightly. I prefer this one over the first one.

Next up is another Val Kilmer logo. While I don't really enjoy logos that go over the entire chest like this, I always liked the design of this one.

I was honestly not expecting Robert Pattinson to do well as Batman at all, but I was genuinely surprised. Not only that, but his suit is one of my favorites. That logo as well is amazing!

And lastly we get to the final one. Which is surprisingly a Bale logo. I believe this is from the first Nolan Batman movie. I just really enjoy this design so much. Even the Arkham games used a similar design.

Now I want to say again that this isn't my favorite suits, that list would be completely different, this is logos only. If you took just the logos off the suit and looked at them, that's what I am talking bout. I hate the Bale suit, but his logo is great.

Just watched Robot on The Road

It was a fun little movie. Only about 9 minutes. I saw a TikTok about it last night and since I had never heard of it I thought I would check it out.

The main robot character, while being a creepy was funny. I really liked his design. The music choices were really good as well.

If you have 9 minutes to spare then go check it out.

Scream 7 Could have had a better reveal

Scream 7 came out February of this year with a lot of backlash. I personally thought the overall movie was pretty great, but with one major issue, that being the killer reveal. Let's fix that.

So this movie had a very heavy AI focus to it. They brought back Stu Macher by using "AI" and for the entire movie they really wanted you to think that the killer was Stu. They set up so many points in the movie to make you think that Stu really was there.

Then we get to the killer reveal and it turns out to be two nobodies. What a let down, yea? One killer was a doctor we had seen in one scene that had maybe a total of two lines, and the other was also a character that only had a few lines. These were characters that had almost no interaction with the main cast so the reveal came out of nowhere.

But I have a better idea for who, at least one of the killers could be. We can keep Jessica, she's not a great killer and her motive was weak, but we'll keep her. But we'll get rid of Marco because honestly he had the weakest motive and just didn't need to be there. Instead we'll replace him with George.

What you don't remember George?

You know George, he was the high school thearte teacher. Now this guy can be set up with a great motive! So what does every killer in the Scream movies have in common? They are always connected to Sidney in some way. George is the theatre teacher and Sidney's daughter is in theatre. There is your connection. Not to mention George would be around a similar age to Sidney so George would have very easily seen all the news when the first killings happened and him being a teacher in a high school with THE Sidney Prescott's daughter could give him inspiration to start a new killing.

But I hear you now "but what about the AI!?" Well that just works in his favor even more! If you know anything about the Scream movies, then him using AI works amazingly for this type of character. Him being a creator of the arts works perfectly. His motive could be something like if AI is going to take his job away then he might as well take advantage of it while he can and that's why he decided to use Stu.

I found a trailer to a Transformers fan series

YouTube recommended this trailer to me just now and it looks great! I've never heard of it until just today, but I'm already super excited for it. The cowboy style design for Prowl is a cool idea.

Did the Joker have a point?

Ooh boy, this might be a controversial post, but just stay with me and read the post, just hear me out. For clarity obviously, no Joker does not have a point when he is killing innocent people. Just felt like I should get that out of the way before even mentioning anything.

Ok so let's start off with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. In that movie he interviews with Murray. In this Interview he talks about when he killed those three guys and in one scene he says "if it were me dying on the sidewalk you'd walk right over me". Then mentions that Thomas Wayne we "crying about them on TV". This whole scene, at least to me is speaking on how just because a big powerful person talks about another powerful(is) person that you should care about them even though they could have been the most awful person. In that movie Arthur killed those guys because they were harassing a woman on the subway and then attacked him. Technically what he did was in self defense. Now I will agree that him chancing down the last guy off the train just to shoot him multiple times was wrong though.

Let's go back to the interview. He mentions that people like Thomas Wayne thinks that people like him will just "sit there and take it like good little boys. That we wont werewolf and go wild." Before I touch on this, I want to touch on one of the last things he says which is this. "What do you get when cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash! You get what you fucking deserve!" Now, again I don't agree with him killing Murray, but I always kind of felt like what they were saying did have a point. At least what I thought they were saying. Our society doesn't care about people's mental health at all. They care so little about their own people's well beings, especially mental health so this scene, "you get what you fucking deserve" honestly is true.

Pac-Man: Snack Breaks Episode 1 released!

It's actually really good! I was expecting the episode to be longer, but I'm not complaining. It was cute, funny, and just overall fun. I liked the voices of Pac-Man and the ghosts.

Go give it a watch!

Hasbro released a new version of The Touch!

Never in my life have I loved a song all over again the way I have with this new version of The Touch by Stan Bush.

Hasbro and Transformers are doing a lot of stuff on an "apology tour" and I guess this is part of it. This version of the song is amazing!

So we got a new trailer for Lanterns...

I honestly don't know how to feel about this series. This trailer looks a lot better than the first one for sure, but man it just looks bad. I love Green Lantern, especially John Stewart, but this look looks awful.

Maybe I don't know much about either character, but to me the way they are doing Hal seems more in character with John and the way they are doing John doesn't seem like John at all. I never had an issue with Hal's suit being brown because I kind of figured they were going to make it darker to contrast with John's being bright and green when he gets it, but I still think this show, based on the trailers, is just doing these characters poorly.

Adventure Time: Side Quests premieres June 29

This is a show I've been looking forward to for a while, it's supposed to be based on the first few seasons of the original series so more of that goofiness it originally used to have.

Apparently Jeremy Shada is not going to be surprising his role as Finn which is kind of interesting. Instead the voice of Finn will be played by Sasha Knight. I kind of get it because Finn is supposed to be younger again like in the first few seasons but I still kind of expected Jeremy Shada to reprise his role, but I guess we'll see how well of a voice they can do.

Tom Kane has passed away today at age 64

Tom Kane has been one of the most recognizable voices in cartoons for as long as I can remember. Every single time I heard him in anything I'd always have to point him out. I think probably the first time I ever heard his voice would have had to have been as Professor Utonium in The Powerpuff Girls and obviously Him.

But he was also characters like Darwin in The Wild Thornberrys, Mr. Herriman in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, my favorite voice for Ultron in Next Avengers, Commissioner Gordon in Batman: Arkham Asylum, and many many other characters.

It always sucks to lose such a great actor like him.

Teaser Trailer for Hope released

I had never heard of this movie until just today, but this looks insane. I'll definitely be watching it!

Sonic 4 has wrapped filming!

Along with that, Jeff Fowler posted this image of Metal Sonic.

I'm super excited for this movie. I know we'll be getting Metal Sonic and Amy in this new movie, I wonder if they'll tease a Sonic 5 in the post credit scene with Silver and Blaze. Like, no lie I would love a movie based on the story of Sonic 06. I know that game wasn't great, but the story was really good.

Just watched the pilot to Gameoverse

It was pretty good, but not as good as I had hyped myself up for. I'm for sure looking forward to more, but I dunno. I guess I was just expecting a lot more from it with how many big name voice actors they had gotten and how great the trailer was.

A lot of it seemed rushed, like Gobbles especially. Not that it was bad, because it really wasn't, as I said I'm excited to see more, but just seemed like I had hyped myself up for a lot more.

My favorite voices of Shaggy in order.

There's always a debate on who is the best voice of Shaggy so I thought I'd list in order my favorites. We're going to start off with the worst and go to the best.

So starting off with the worst is Sam Richardson. Dude's voice is fine for this character, but he's just not Shaggy. No hate to the character, but man Velma was such a bad show.

Next up is Scott Menville. I've never seen the actual show itself, but from what I've heard it's not terrible. However Scott just isn't a good fit for Shaggy. He's a great voice actor and is amazing as Robin, but he just can not do Shaggy at all.

Next has got to be Will Forte. While not as terrible as I had originally thought he would be when he was announced, he's still not the best Shaggy. But still decent.

Next has to go to Billy West. I love Billy West and actually love his voice of Shaggy. I'd actually love to see him come back as the voice one day. I think a cool movie idea would be having like a multiversal movie with multiple Shaggy's voiced by different actors from the past and Billy West could reprise his role.

This next one might be a bit controversial, but it has to be Matthew Lillard. Don't get me wrong, I love Matthew Lillard and I like his Shaggy voice, but it's not my favorite and I don't actually think he deserved to be the "definitive" voice in modern day, I think that goes to the next person.

As mentioned I don't believe Matthew Lillard's voice should be the "definitive" modern Shaggy voice, instead I think that should go to Scott Innes. He has the best voice for Shaggy. It's similar enough to Casey Kasem, but also different enough to be it's own thing.

And I think to absolutely no ones surprise the number one spot goes to the man himself, Casey Kasem. The absolute only voice of Shaggy.

Just got recommended the pilot to Planetronika and holy crap!

This pilot reminds me so much of something I'd see late at night on Adult Swim in the early 2000's. I loved it so much!

Go check it out now!
