Marvel is Disney's Bitch

The more and more I think about it... the more it disappoints me. Now, keep in mind that I'm a big fan of Marvel and Disney- sadly, I see Disney as a business void rather than an entertainment corporation. Listen, think about how much Disney owns; how do they own these many things? Money! They literally make billions daily. They're no better than the tobacco or oil businesses. What disappoints me is how limited Marvel Studios is now that Disney bends them over and says "You're mine now!" Disney is to marvel what Negan is to Rick (The Walking Dead) or what Ramsay Bolton is to Theon Greyjoy (Game of Thrones). Marvel has had a history of great crossovers, colorful battles and great team ups (the Illuminati, the New Avengers, Dark Avengers). A lot of people think they will see these on the big screen! Nope...never...ever! Okay, maybe not ever, but not any time soon. Before I get morbidly disappointing, let's just appreciate that we live in the time of great superhero films.
Okay- now the disappointment: if you don't know why these films won't happen, Marvel was going bankrupt at one time and decided to sell the rights for their characters to different studios. X-Men, their villains, the Fantastic Four, and their villains belong to the shit studio known as Fox. Fox fucked up the Fantastic Four twice- and X-Men Apocalypse was mediocre to say the least! Sony has Spider-Man, one of the biggest icons of the Marvel universe (but that's changed since they reached an agreement) but Sony is trying to make a Venom movie! Spider-Man is awesome; I love what Marvel did with him because Sony fucked it up twice.
The reason we won't see the crossovers is because Marvel, as well as Fox, are stubborn as fuck! Marvel is only stubborn because of Disney, and Disney doesn't want to associate with other studios! Why? No clue! Corporation competition being what it is I guess. We will never see an Avengers VS X-Men, Galactus (that isn't a huge stupid cloud) Come to Earth, and Doctor Doom will never have justice as an amazing character! What saddens me the most is the fact that old man Logan will not live up to the comic book. While the trailer looks great, the comic is so much better! In the comic, there's a fucking symbiote possessing a T-Rex, a blind Hawkeye, a gang of ghost riders, a family of redneck hulks and an Old man Hulk! That already sounds awesome- but here's the kicker: Fox is doing the movie! So no hulk, no venom T-Rex, no ghost rider gang, no blind Hawkeye, and no redneck hulk familia! It sucks ass! I wish they pulled a Sony and Marvel trick so Fox can make arguably the greatest comic book film ever!
That's what disappoints me... I would've loved to see a direct adaptation to Old man Logan, but it won't happen! What also saddens me is that Disney only keeps characters like Daredevil or Punisher on the small screen, and Ghost Rider too! I love the dark side of marvel! Blade, Morbius, Johnny Blaze, Blackheart, and stuff like that but Disney is too kid friendly to do make them happen! No rated R Marvel Movies! Disney only wants to outdo other studios to make money! If they waited for "Civil War," it could've actually been a war instead of a five vs five battle at an airport. And they couldn't have done it right without the characters anyway! Marvel can't live up to its potential with their characters at other studios and with Disney bending them over and fucking them! I'd love Marvel more if they had what they're supposed to have!

Thanks for reading, share your opinion as well, and also I have a YouTube page where I go off on this comic, film and nerdy stuff!

Black Jack OVA

Black Jack is one of the various characters of the late manga artist Osamu Tezuka, whose works also include Astro Boy, Jungle Emperor Leo (known as Kimba the White Lion in the US), and Phoenix, respectively. Black Jack acts as a skilled mercenary surgeon, performing various surgeries to whomever pays for his skills. He chooses to operate in the shadows without a proper license, free from rules and corrupt bureaucratic corporations and establishments. Although Black Jack has been animated into two OVAs, two television series, and two films, my personal favorite is the OVA released in 1993. 
I'm a fan of Tezuka's usual whimsical art style, but the dark themes and style choice used in the Black Jack OVA perfectly complimented the characters, and generally gave the series a fresh atmosphere of drama and suspense. This 12 episode OVA is what made me personally invested into Black Jack as a character, and his way of turning an everyday profession into something heroic.

I greatly recommend this OVA to anyone interested in medical drama, mystery, and vintage anime.

Strike Back

Strike Back is a Hardcore band from Orange County, California and has had my attention from the very start of their career. This band caught my interest in my days in the local scene because they're not afraid to mix up their sound and they pull their music off very well with their Strike Back EP, which showed the local scene that this isn't a band you want to miss out; with songs such as Average Scum, and my personal favorite song, Hypocrite (featuring James Lindamood of First Degree). 

Strike Back's EP tells a story of a damaged individual who's struggling to push forward in life and trying to find themself after a toxic relationship leaves them feeling desolate and lost in life. Eventually, the indvidual comes to accept that sometimes life is hard, and we need to find the bravery within ourselves to keep moving forward and come to the realization that life truly is worth living. This EP struck a chord with me- it conveyed my own struggles and feelings at the time I heard this album. 

Strike Back has also released a two song EP called Blind Sight, which is a really good listen. My main complaint about this EP is that there isn't more songs in it, because I'm intrigued to see what course this band is going to take.

 Is their any music, movies, comics, etc. you would like me to check out and write about? Leave comments about your thoughts!

Stolen Babies

Stolen Babies is a unique band because of their experimental sound; using influence from many genres and rock classics such as Oingo Boingo, Cop Shoot Cop, and Fishbone. The line up includes Dominique Lenore Persi, Rani Sharone, and Gil Sharone who all have very diverse and interesting musical backgrounds that further add to Stolen Babies already unique and experimental sound. Dominique Lenore Persi used to play with Indie/Folk Polka artist Horace Weintraub, while Gil Sharone has been a permanent member of classic Mathcore band, The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Stolen Babies has released two really well-received albums, "There Be Squabbles Ahead" and "Naught" along with a Stolen Babies EP and a 4 song demo. While not becoming a mainstream band in the metal scene, they have toured with bands such as Otep, Paradise Lost, and Lacuna Coil.
Stolen Babies has always stood out to me not only because of their touring history, but also the versatile influence from multiple genres that kept me interested.
One of my favorite Stolen Babies tracks is Filistata because of the Dark Cabaret influence in the music and how unique it sounded- like something right out of a Tim Burton movie.

 I highly recommend that you check the links I provided.

Akira

Akira is a manga series and anime film written by Katsuhiro Otomo. Both the manga series and the film have become really popular with a huge cult following. Akira follows the story of Tetsuo Shima and Kaneda Shōtarō, two members of a Neo-Tokyo street gang that call themselves "The Capsules", and takes place years after a supposed nuclear explosion destroys Tokyo and sets off World War III. Tetsuo and Kaneda find themselves caught up in a government conspiracy involving psychics after Tetsuo gets into an accident with a psychic named Tadashi. He awakens psychic powers within Tetsuo, causing him to become progressively psychotic and aggressive as his psychic abilities further develop at an alarming rate. Kaneda joins an anti-government organization that stages terrorist attacks against the government after catching wind of the secret government project involving psychics and the mysterious figure known as Akira. They restrict Kaneda's movement after he becomes increasingly involved in their activities. 
All of this makes for well-written story that has captivated audiences since the early 80's, and has remained a highly influential film and manga series. Recommended for fans of Blade Runner and Sci-fi. Akira is one of my favorite manga because of the intense art and story, and the character development is very well done.
