The corruption themes of Batman '89

What Batman Begins is often credit for, but Batman '89 is not is the theme of corruption.
In Batman Begins, there are Invasion of the Body Snatcher themes playing on communist and terrorist fears such as the infiltration of the police by the League of Shadows, Falcone's men running the city, and Wiliam Earle's manipulation of Wayne and takeover of Wayne Enterprises.
In batman 89, there are Anti Nazi themes hidden through the use of homages to Vertigo such as that of Vicki Vale's blonde hair, green dress and climactic finale after constant teases of acrophobia stunts by batman.
An obvious Nazi reference is Axis chemicals killing everyone in horrific ways. The fashion industry becomes a key element in this film as it becomes a motif of the Joker.
The joker and Carl Grissom fight over a blonde leading to the chaos in Gotham city led by the Joker.
Heck batman even has yellow in his symbol this time around.
Also present are the comparisons of the Joker to an artist like Hitler.
They fight in a war against crime. The Joker is a whiteface character.
The city is run by white male gangsters against an incompetent commissioner with Lt Eckhardt on his salary, an obvious example of corruption overlooked in the film and an African a,Erica's district attorney. Again a lot with what goals with this film are the details and visuals opposed to the exposition wry dialogue?
Finally, at the end of the film, we are given the theme of "who made who?" or the chicken vs the egg. Is it the criminal that made the superhero or the corrupt hero that made the villain and will it be a battle that is ever won?

Xmen children's end is a great follow up to house of m

It introduces a great new cast of characters. Those unfamiliar with x23.
I didn't enjoy how the two (Emma frost) conflicted.
There could be great reason why she killed her mother: it's not explained.
It lacked character development. Ok. Intro comic.
Emma looks beautiful albeit I don't get much out of the comics art.
The anti mutant storyline seems straight out of god loves, man kills, although not as good. I had high hopes for this series

#15: Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

I really like the concept of this. Superman and Batman, Yin and Yangs of each other, have a similar goal, figuring out Lex Luthor's plan as President of the United States, before being framed for a crime they didn't commit and realize that Luthor's tricked them the whole time.
I really would've liked this film to be a hard R. There's no continuity in these films, so really raise the stakes by having Batman or Superman deal with the moral dilemma of killing someone in self defense in order to achieve a greater good by stopping Luthor's plan at world domination and not to mention your own selfish survival.
Then again, we wouldn't have a Japanese Toyman Composite Superman giant robot in the film!
Visually and acting wise, there wasn't really a premise for superheroes to believe Luthor over the World's Finest.
Flaws aside, it was fun. Not a terrible film, but way far from a perfect score.

More on boobage by Monica Gallagher

It's on comixology
I've had a bit elite schooling to misunderstand popularity contests totally. They were nonexistent in NYC so Gallaghers popularity stereotypes are a bit foreign for me.
Gallagher has a great conversational style that reminds me of Toufic el Rassi in America dealing with issues of a minority. However what Gallagher does lack are solutions to these issues just tackling them from multiple perspectives and time periods of a lifetime.
It's not a porno. It's more of an expression and embracement of self, Gallagher the artist feeling right in an insecure world no matter what size or occupation they're involved in.

Boobage by Monica Gallagher

There's boobs. No nudity.
What else dya wanna no?!

KristenStewartWantsIt recreation: Loki is an asshole

• Loki is an asshole

Loki is an asshole and he has no goals.
If you really want me to get into it, I could talk about Noam Chomsky, Alan Moore and the anarchist movement of current day, relating to how big figures of control ruin everything
But you don't need to know that.
Thor isn't fucking Christianpher Nolan's Batman where he's a figure of control
And Loki is not the Joker.
I don't hate Tom Hiddleston, but there is no reason to praise him for this role which he had no input in controlling and did nothing to make good.
Watch War Horse.
Watch the wonderful The Deep Blue Sea.
But don't fucking waste your time on the Marvel Universe with him as his characters are written TEAR-RI-BULL-LEE.

Back to a previous point that will NEVER EVER be brought up again, but will probably be brought up as a point my major fans as a favorite part of the film because it's a twist (but not one that makes sense, I AM GASPING FOR AIR!)
Loki is a frost giant, but Thor doesn't kill him.
Maybe, Thor doesn't kill Loki and learns to tolerate the Frost Giants.
It was probably in the script somewhere between the ten writers that worked on this film.
However, somewhere along the lines, Kenneth Branagh could've said, maybe we should tell the audience Thor had an arc, or a change of heart after realizing the brother he lived with, not knowing exactly when Thor became a Norse God?

Or you can make Thor be an anti-hero and not give a shit as if this was a New Hollywood film.
But it's NOT A NEW HOLLYWOOD FILM. IT'S A FUCKING BLOCKBUSTER! It's not the fucking Dark Knight! Have him save his fucking brother who he lived with his whole life, which includes since the beginning of time or however long it was!

So, no. Thor just fucking kills more Frost Giants and captures his brother.

Why does Thor even hate the Frost Giants considering he never fought one before in the first place?! Seriously, the war happens before Loki is given to his Asgardian parents.

What kind of peace treaty did you sign with a species that all they do is fight war?! What did this species that all they do is fight wars, not do if they couldn't fight wars?!
They did NOTHING! NOTHING for whatever millennia they were away from Earth! Why would they do that? Does that sound like the kind of species which would give up their son for a peace treaty?

Anarchists can be selfish.
Anarchists can screw stuff up.
But it looks like Loki is just fucking high, and that's his anarchist views.
Loki has an opportunity to kill Thor in the beginning by feeding him to the Frost Giants. He doesn't.
He later kills his own father, gaining no power from the Frost Giants NOR the Asgardian Gods while doing so. He then pretends to kill himself, where Thor being the dumb shit he is, forgets for whatever thousands of years he stayed on Asgard, forgot that there's either no gravity on Asgard or that Loki can fly or a power everyone fucking knows, especially Thor in Thor 2, when he observes that Loki trashes a room over his mother's death while using an illusion trick, to pretend that he died, for what purpose? To conquer Earth, for we have no reason to care what shit he wants to do that for, joining an army, he and the audience knows nothing about but joins them anyway?
So Loki does a crapload of shit, where he gains nothing, confuses the audience for the sake of confusing them, outthinking the script as if it were Tekken: Blood Vengeance without the Ho/Les Yays.

I'm out of breath. I'll continue this later.

With the Joker, he had a horribly intricate plan, where everything came together.
Loki didn't have a fucking plan. You don't need to give Disney-Marvel-JJ Abrams Star Wars $1 Billion to figure that shit out.

KristenStewartWantsIt recreation: I have no idea what Thor's powers are, and he fucking sucks

• I have no idea what Thor's powers are.

Thor can control his hammer. He can shoot lightning.
Did he get his powers from his dad or from Asgard or from where?
How strong is he? Is he stronger with or without the hammer? Is he stronger when he gets hit by lightning?
Are his flying powers limited? Great to know when he was on Asgard, flying powers or not there, when Loki fell from the bridge, flying powers or not!
They don't tell you, and more importantly in a film, they don't show you or put you into suspense as to how he gets his powers.

Was Thor ever popular when he was in the comics?
Outside of founding the Avengers?
(Speaking of which, in the films, he founds shit since Nick Fury does everything.)
This is important, because this Thor is a piece of shit, so not knowing anything about an unpopular character must have a huge payoff.

Furthermore:

• Thor's character sucks.

He doesn't have a character.
He hits things.
He uses his powers to start a war with the Frost Giants
He makes out with Princess Amidala.
He kills Frost Giants.
And he hits things.
That's all he does.
You want to talk about Star Wars since Queen Amidala is in the role, George Disney.
Fine, let's talk about the Red Letter Media analysis of Episode 1:

• Name the main character of Thor without describing their clothes or what they look like.
• Name the Joseph Campbell Hero's arc that the main characters go through

Other than saving the day, what does Thor learn?

KristenStewartWantsIt Thor Sucks recreation: Kenneth Branagh

Thor Sucks.

The End.

Ok, first of all, I have to say this. Whoever got him to take down that review is a huge fucking asshole. That review was hilarious and very informative on how you're supposed to write characters, not to mention a feature length $300 million movie that leads into one of the highest grossing films of all time. I am pissed.

• Kenneth Branagh

I'm trying to be fair here, because Kenneth Branagh is a rich million year old white guy from Engand who makes money off Shakespeare, ruining my middle school favorite comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, in addition to the crappiest book of Harry Potter.
Meanwhile, I'm a nerd geek who is not really making ends' meet in the most corrupt cities in the world known as New York City.
Ok, I'm not being fair, but Kenneth Branagh is an asshole so I don't give a shit. His fucking movie is garbage and he had every right to have been fired the franchise even though as much as I didn't like the second one, it was a huge improvement over what he was doing.

Happy 75th Anniversary: The 10 Worst Marvel Movies Made So Far

1. Howard the Duck: He wasn't witty. He wasn't well made despite being made by George Lucas. It was made in the US, whereas Star Wars had many production problems being all over the place.
2. Thor: You heard my rant.
3. Men in Black 2: I totally didn't get the ending sequence. They write off L for no reason. There's barely any extras in this obligatory sequel, making it very unexciting, when there's "chases."
4. Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer: It was boring. What the fuck do I give a shit about Jessica Alba getting married for?! I don't give a shit if Galactus is a cloud. They just didn't know how to make a film in general.
5. Fantastic Four (2005): It's not Jack Kirby. It's not Star Wars. It's not Spider-Man. It's boring.
6. The Amazing Spider-Man 2: It didn't make any sense.
7. Avengers: Overrated. A film that took 0 effort to make and copied Transformers 3 of all possible plots. I feel better giving poor robbers struggling to make ends meet money than this.
8. Thor: The Dark World: A very good improvement, but still has Natalie Portman in it.
9. Men in Black 3: I really liked the Flight of the Conchords guy, but honestly the TV show had a better plot than this. Josh Brolin is as awesome as always though.
10. The Amazing Spider-Man: There's a lot good with this film, like the acting. There's a lot wrong with this film. Marc Webb isn't really a sci fi type of guy. He needs more time to make the thing work.

Like many superhero movies, X-Men: Days of Future Past demonstrates that bad stories don't matter for blockbuster box offices

X-Men: Days of Future Past panders but it doesn't pander too much. A lot is told from exposition even more so than a Christopher Nolan film as there really aren't visuals for certain scenes, just actors acting in a horribly rushed manner in fear of fans not having patience for a long film, as well as producers fearing of smaller box office revenue as a result of less replay times in theatres. It would've been cool if there were single shots instead of soap opera camera shooting to fix this problem, but I dunno. Singer's not a terrible director like many others around, but he rushed a bit with this film.
X-Men is simple. Done over 11 years. 1 plot hole. 1 simple plot. Not a lot to complain about. Acceptable.
There's a lot of stuff to turn people away from the one year budget X-Men: Days of Future Past, but there's also a lot to keep them in. 2012 superhero films that put me off with this were Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises, but oh well.

It's sort of sad that we've gotten to the point where scripts don't make sense by themselves, as sequels and aren't even crack fiction, yet audiences allow directors to get away with it.
Fans did it for Thor, its sequel and Avengers, so we let them get by with it in X-Men, and its sad.
We don't really care about the stories.
They team up.
They have a lot of cast, letting 15,000 get jobs on this project, having a staff work on CGI for many futuristic towns or even the stadium.
That in itself is a good story and I really hope it makes it on DVD/Blu Ray extras.

Superior Spider-Wifebeater- I mean Spider-Man 20 by Scott Camuncoli and Dell Fabela sucks

The art is sorta sexy, but how sexy can it be when Black Cat loses a tooth, Mary Jane almost is eaten for food or beastality by a dog for no reason and Lady Octopus looks like Colossus for some odd reason.
The Day Gwen Stacy Died was one of the most epic stories in comic book history. It was a blockbuster event. It was memorable. It was controversial for all the good reasons.
This comic gives the impression that teens beating up pretty looking girls is acceptable.
And it's lazy.
People complain about Mark Millar's Kick-Ass for being juvenile, but at least it makes sense.
Gosh, this is terrible.
