Comics on TV - NO MORE COMIC MOVIES


I think I would be more OK with comic super heroes in TV shows than movies now. Only because The Flash, Arrow and Agents of Shield are great examples of what good shows can be. Especially with Flash and Arrow always having "Flarrow" episodes where they constantly reference each other or work together now. Let's just use DC for example:

They have been getting slaughtered by Marvel in the cinematic take on their comics in movies for some time. Why even compete at this point? Yea sure I think Batman vs. Superman will be good but the thought that it will introduce the idea of the Justice League astounds me. Everyone knows that it will take years for DC to make that happen. Why would you shoot yourself in the foot like that? One of the founding members of the Justice League already has a greatly successful show. And The Green Arrow becomes part of the Justice League too! Now you have to cast different actors just to include them in the movie versions which will confuse and anger most fans of the show. When you could just have each Justice League member have their own TV show with moments where they come together as the Justice League.

The CW is trying their best to pick up the pieces of DC's stupidity by giving us Legends of Tomorrow which is basically the closest thing we will be getting to the Justice League on TV. The problem is DC doesn't have the balls to put Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Shazam, Martian Manhunter or Cyborg on TV. All of whom have been in versions of the Justice League and could be easily introduced in The Flash or Arrow. Even though they allowed Supergirl to become a thing and Batman in the form of Gotham but that is just Batman BEFORE Batman...

I really hope that all the easter eggs in The Flash and Arrow regarding the Green Lantern come forward. There are just so many I hope somebody has the balls and know how to put Hal Jordan on the TV screen. They have already brought "meta-humans" in with The Flash and introduced "mysticism" in Arrow so why not "space police" in the form of The Lantern Corps.?

They have the means to make a great TV universe for DC that would be a shit ton more successful than their movies have been in my opinion. It's just will DC have the smarts to see it and take advantage of the opportunity that Flash/Arrow have given them?

Change in Attitude

I've come to realization that for a while now I have been different. I mean my attitude has become different. Mostly some sort of underlying change that came from cancer. I was made aware of it this past weekend and it hurt friends of mine, whom I consider family. I know personally I don't fret a lot of things because of the huge issues I have hanging over me. But that doesn't mean that other people's issues are any less for them just because of what I've been through or still going through. I channeled my fortitude in the wrong way and for that I'm sorry to those it affected. You know who you are and I know you will see this. Thank you for making me aware and I promise things will be different.

I want to continue to be the person that people can go to because of my attitude. I don't want my attitude to be the reason people don't come to me. This stressful month will end on high notes I feel and from there everything should start getting better. I will be getting back into my habits of consciously focusing on positive energy and the things we want in life. I hope that my dearest and closest friends will still be there for it all.

My First Reddit Content Post


So my latest vlog I did a little extra editing with and total time it probably took me 4-5 hours to complete. Since it deals with League of Legends and the currently ongoing World Championships I made the bold decision to post this video to Reddit. The League subreddit, which can be found HERE, is actually a terrifying place to put up your first big content post. Imagine the worst toxicity all found in a nice neat forum. Well I didn't care and posted the above video anyway and what was the initial reaction?

Not completely as horrible as I thought it was going to be but not that great either. Obviously, like any YouTube video, there will most likely be more negative than good comments that come forth first. I don't mind though because I know I have a long way to go before I'm where I want to be in regards to comfort in front of a camera. So I take everything said in comments and take them with stride because you have to be complete shit before you can even become better.

And I will get better and plan on taking some of the YouTube comments advice. The biggest complaint I've seen so far is there wasn't enough difference about it. Or there wasn't enough controversy that could spark debate. (I took that last part as there wasn't enough meaty details to make people want to talk about the video) Now granted some of this has to deal with the fact that when I did this vlog I tried to write somethings out. You can tell I'm reading quite a bit in the video which I know takes away from the jokes feeling natural. The writing itself needs a lot of work but I'm still so new to this I just try my best to learn. But I tried to get this all in order while working the night shift, getting home to layout groundwork writing, shoot video, gathered highlight videos, screenshots, logos, then throw the whole thing together fast enough that I have time to do some house cleaning before the wife gets home. I did a shit ton in a small amount of time and I'm proud of that. I also, whether this video gets a ton of dislikes or not, had tons of fun making this video and I plan to make more.

In the end even though I took some hits from Reddit I can take it. So here's to improving myself and making a better video every time. So what did you think of the video?




So they want controversy and debate huh?
