Sleepy Time Post

Well, I can travel on the T in my sleep so maybe I can blog in my sleep too...

I've already discussed Charmed with my only visible reader but for those "shadow readers" who care, here we go. That was the best episode I've seen in awhile. The story was excellent. The Magic School really wasn't the Harry Potter rip off it appeared it would be. I liked it and want to see more. Some Paige School of Rock action would have been great to see I think. Finally, a Phoebe plot that actually makes sense and didn't make me groan. The morphing from Young Chris to Old Chris was awesome. (I could get into the merits, or lack there of, behind Phoebe being the one to know Chris' secret but I won't.) The dialogue was entertaining. "Maybe if you spent less time contemplating your navel...when you still had one..." Oh, a note to Lady Vader: Victor is indeed alive and will be on the show in like three weeks, I think.

So, "my crush" fell down some stairs and broke her toe. She's walking on it and says it doesn't hurt any more but hasn't tried moving it. Get this. She wanted to tell me especially about it. Her reasoning was that I've been dealing with injuries of my own but I'll take what I can get...

I was bad today, I haven't done my exercises today due to being in class all day. Maybe I'll try to do them now. Once is better than not at all...

Thor Or Thunderstrike?

Marvel screwed the pooch with the Thor  franchise from the beginning. They took the more modern notion that the Asgardians are aliens not gods. In itself, that's fine but I can't help but think that just made it more complicated not less. (Wonder Woman  just killed them off which is better but that's still a big nitpick from me about THAT movie...)

 I stopped regularly reading comics  after I graduated college in the early part of the century so I don't know when secret identities became passé but I think this also hurt the franchise. Originally, instead of dropping Thor on his head and giving him amnesia, Odin put him the mortal body of Donald Blake and then Eric Masterson. (Was that a complaint about Ghost Rider? Same concept really...)

In Thor: Ragnarok, to me, this '90's era of the comic where Eric Masterson WAS Thor was the best run of the comic and there were many Easter eggs from that period from Thor's Earth garb (with Mjolnir disguised as an umbrell…

Wasn't A Complete Punishment

Checking my Facebook Memories this morning, it is apparently the anniversary of my review of Jessica Jones.  In many reviews of  The Punisher,  Jessica Jones  is the pinnacle all other Marvel Netflix (or in some cases, Marvel shows on any network but that's a post for another time...) must be held to. I'll tell you straight out, I personally enjoyed both seasons of  Daredevil  more so... (Hell,  The Punisher  had a less annoying support cast...)

 For reasons I didn't consider back then and don't care about now, comic books in the '90's saw the creation of more violent  characters to presumably dispel the notion comics weren't just for kids. Ironman, Thor, Captain America and, perhaps ironically, Batman got more gritty counterparts and the Punisher (and Deadpool) was created. Like most superheroes, Frank Castle's origins begin with the death of a family member; in his case, ALL OF THEM. In comics, it was due to be caught in the crossfire of a mob shootout…

Sunday Morning Movie Review

Black Panther was great. Just as  Wonder Woman  gave little girls a superhero to "look up to," little African boys (Yes, not just African American  boys) have their own hero. But what was even better about this movie is that it was so much more. It wasn't a stereotypical Eddie Murphy or Whitney Houston movie.  Even 5, 8 years ago, we wanted this to happen but this might have been just the right time. T'Challa is king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda that millennia ago became rich in a fictional mineral called vibranium that allowed them to  become the most technologically advanced country on Earth. They decided to keep this secret, however, and disguised themselves with a cloaking shield and the guise of a "shithole country." (See? Relevance!)

Wakanda has reached a crossroads. Xenophobia is really no longer working. The villain of the movie, Wakandan by blood but certainly not upbringing, Killmonger, takes the throne in an effort to take the Black…
