Pan trailer #1...

Am I the only one excited for this?

Suicide Squad first look...

Not that long ago, the first trailer for Suicide Squad was released.
Thought I'd share it cuz I know a lot of people are excited to see it and some are trying to track it down quickly. And I wanted to voice a little of my opinion on things without you guys wondering what in the heck I was talking about.



I'm just a smidge, A SMIDGE, impressed with the portrayals of the characters. I'm still not completely sold on Harley, but the Joker looks pretty sick and just *might* be a good younger portrayal.
Nevertheless, I'm still not seeing the movie, but I am slightly impressed with the way everyone's being handled. The trailer is also put together rather well.
And I most definitely have to find the song. It's so dark and creepy and I love it. XDDD

What do you guys think? Will you be seeing it next year? I'll be a full-fledged 21 year old by then and be doing lots of adulting, so who knows with me.. I might see it just for the heck of it. With more trailers and pics and everything, my feelings will possibly change.
All I know now is that I'm at an impressed stage, but that's all.

Anyway, comment and tell us what you think!

(BTW, my Terminator: Genisys review is coming soon!)

John C. Reilly confirms return for Wreck-It Ralph sequel...

Ok, so I already knew this was coming. As soon as I got back home from seeing the first one at the theater (a good memory, btw, seeing it with my nephew and sister), I read the wikipedia up and saw that they were already planning for a sequel, which I'm totally glad for. ♥
I loved the first one to bits. I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for video game movies, no matter how terrible the storyline and acting might be for it. I mean, c'mon, the only reason I'm going to go see Pixels when it comes out is because there is a video game storyline. ;P
But no, they did really good on this one. :)

I'm hoping they add in more actual vg characters. The cameos in the first were perfectly done, I just honestly want to support people giving vg characters larger roles in films. I really want people to get more into video games. They're so amazing, you don't even know. And the amount of feels and characters and stories people miss all the time breaks my heart! )8

Anyway, as a little update, they're talking about Disney being in discussions with Nintendo over licensing for characters like Mario, Luigi, Link, etc. As well as expanding roles for villains like Bowser and General Bison.

Besides that, I'm glad to hear he's coming back for the role! He did a great job as Ralph!
I also hope Vanellope comes back, too, cuz she was amazing. <3 XDDDD

Anyone else a Wreck-It Ralph fan?

Tom Holland as Spider-Man announcement..

I'm sorry, I'm sure this kid is a good actor and everything, but I just do not look at him and think "Spider-Man". This is hogwash.



AND WHAT'S THIS ABOUT MARISA TOMEI PLAYING AUNT MAY, WHAT?
COULD MARVEL GET THINGS ANY MORE WRONG?

Thanks, Marvel, for ruining the Captain America movie for me even more than it already was. T_T

Bat-film love interests: 1989-1995

Watching the four Bat films over again, I suddenly became inspired to write an article about Bruce's love interests. Don't ask me, I dunno. I just felt compelled to talk about their characters and tell you which one I think was the best for Bruce.

Vicki Vale

Compared to many damsel-in-distress love interests in the early super hero world, Vicki was a pretty authentic character. She wasn't annoying in any way. She was the average woman, dating a rich, mysterious guy, while trying to do her job accurately as a journalist.
Unlike many characters of her type, I could tolerate her. She didn't overact on things.
When she was around the Joker, the majority of the time, she played it cool.
She showed the appropriate amount of emotion and instinct that others usually don't.
You know..how most damsels scream and freak out and practically get themselves caught just to be saved by the hero in the nick of time.



With all she had to put up with, I think she faced her circumstances like a trooper.
She's beautiful, smart, resourceful, caring and pretty good at her job.
But, is she the right match for Bruce? Probably not.



While they had a good enough chemistry in their relationship, albeit a very rushed one, I definitely couldn't see her as a person he'd stick around with for very long.
She'd probably do good with maybe someone from law enforcement, a lawyer or even another journalist.
But a match for the Bat, she is not.
That doesn't stop me from loving her character, though. :)



So, to sum up Vicki Vale, she was a well done, genuine character and a suitable love interest...just not for Batman. I would give her a rating of 7/10

Selina Kyle

I've always been a huge Bat-Cat fan for like..ever.
So I'm in honest automatic support of Selina and Bruce being a couple.
BUT.
I'm also being honest, right? And I gotta be a good judge of them as a whole.



I seriously loved the way her character was developed. It was an amazing transformation from Selina Kyle to Catwoman. She starts out as a lonely, ordinary executive assistant (...ahem....secretary) who is rather unimportant in the eyes of everyone else, and even sometimes herself.
She's unappreciated and dominated by those around her, including her own mother, who expects a lot more from her daughter, which no doubt has lowered Selina's self-esteem.
She's a hard worker and makes one of heck of a cup of coffee. But within her lurks ideas and opinions of her own that she at times tries to get out to feel important, but they unfortunately always go unnoticed.
So she does the only thing she knows best; retreat back into hiding and be what everyone expects of her..which isn't much.
In the brief glimpse we have of her home, she's rather of a child at heart and a bit of a girly girl, her walls painted pink, her shelves decorated with stuffed animals, serving as a personal hotel manager for various stray cats. She's your average lady, desperate for some love and attention, but not getting the appreciation she so rightly deserves.



Then the night comes, on her way from work, where during her frightful encounter with one of Penguin's clown minions, that she is rescued by Batman. But he, too, doesn't seem that impressed with the lonely secretary and walks away.
Long story short, her being under-appreciated and unimportant takes it's tole when her boss murders her, merely because she made an accidental discovery of his plans.
Then it happens. The cats she loves so revive her and she is brought back from death, with a renewed purpose and outlook on life. Something within her awakens, drastically changing her personality..her confidence...her spirit. She trashes her home, spray-painting everything black, all while in a screaming fit.
No longer able to take being the old Selina..to be looked down on by everyone..she becomes someone new. She breaks out of her shell and opens herself up to whole new, dangerous possibilities.
As a product of this transformation..Catwoman is born.



Her and Bruce's chemistry is amazing. Bruce immediately takes notice of Selina's new confidence and independence and the two instantly hit it off.
Their relationship isn't too rushed, however. It takes a little time and they get a little closer with each encounter. But you can tell the two really do have a spark between them.
Unfortunately, as much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE the two together, it's pretty clear by the end of the movie that the two won't last. Starting out with 9 lives, Selina now has only 1 and she chooses to spend it alone.
While her transformation really opened a lot up for Selina and she came out of a life of loneliness and depression..it also made her do things she winds up regretting.
As she states, she wouldn't be able to live with herself entering a real relationship with Bruce, living a fairytale. But really, with her revenge complete on the man who murdered her..what else would Selina live for? Bruce and Selina rocked as a couple, even more so while they were in costume. But in all honesty, Selina wouldn't be able to carry a public relationship with Bruce in the state she was in.



So, to give Selina's character a review, she's a beautiful, clever, intriguing, very self efficient woman, that rocks as a love interest for Bats. They're perfect for one another, just tragically have to be apart.
I would give her a 9/10

Dr. Chase Meridian

While I don't intend to trash her and make her seem like a terrible character, Chase is probably my least favorite of the love interests.
She does have many good qualities to her character and she's likable enough, but her character is much too over-sexualized and she just comes across as too direct, which makes her seem..well, too direct.



One of her good qualities is her clever intellect and fascination of Batman.
And that she has a pretty good judge of character, as well as a personality that at first comes off a little stuck-up, but eventually winds up charming.



One of her annoying qualities is the constant struggle she has over Batman and Bruce. She immediately gets smitten over one, then gets smitten over the other, and for awhile she can't choose, so she's just stuck.
It's like a love triangle, but with the same guy.
Another of her good qualities is the ability to keep her head when she is kidnapped and not be screaming her head off the entire time, a trait she shares with Vicki. The time she did scream is when she was falling to her death, which I can't blame her for. But, the main point is, she gets kidnapped rather easily.
Despite seeing her train in her office, you have to wonder, what is the training really for?
Cuz it sure doesn't do her much good.



I do tolerate her and like her well enough, though. If it wasn't for her throwing herself at Batman and Bruce so directly and the fact that she can't make up her mind which part of him she wants to be with, she would be a pretty good character.
But despite that, there's not much more of her personality to judge on. It just seems like they were trying to make the stereotypical "sexy bad girl" that Bruce hung around with for awhile and not a real match for Bruce, even though they tried to make it sound like she was the right one for him.



So, to sum up her character, she's smart, pretty, charming and level-headed, but she's not a good match for Bruce and has too much of an inappropriate, cliche flare. My final rating is 6/10

Well, there you have it! :)
Out of all three of the girls, I would have to say that Selina was by far my favorite, as she always will be. ♥
I hope you enjoyed the post. Thanks for taking the time to read!
So, comment and tell me your opinions of who you think was the best match for Bruce. :D

where r u, geek week?

Have been looking everywhere, trying to find when this year's Geek Week is, and I'm afraid I might've missed it. :( I know they held it a couple years ago (when I first found out about such a week) around August, but I'm seeing no specified date for it this year.
I hope they didn't let the matter die off, cuz I absolutely LOVED the concept. <3

If the date doesn't turn up, I'll do my own Geek Week at my own time.
And you know I'll be telling my peeps over at the Character World to join in! ^_^

I really wanna get back into blogging and articles and stuff.
So when I do participate in this year's Geek Week, I'm gonna lay out a good set of topics to work with!

Seriously though, if anyone knows of a specified date or if they had it already, please let me know!

Doctor Who to air on Disney XD...

So I don't know if many of you guys are aware, but Doctor Who will now be airing on Disney XD.
The Doctor of choice happens to be David Tennant, the episodes being from seasons 2-4.

I honestly was not even expecting to see such a show on such a channel, so you can imagine how taken back I was when I saw a Dalek and a Doctor and a Rose and a T.A.R.D.I.S. on my TV screen where they weren't supposed to be. So yeah, just fyi if you guys are looking to watching!
Still in bewilderment, just a heads up.

Oh and for all of you Gravity Falls fans, they also air the show there now, too!
Please keep watching it and just leave it playing on your TV when you're able. People are rumoring it's on the brink of cancellation, the ratings are so low!
And if the show gets cancelled, I'm seriously gonna cry.

Grimm S4: Episode 9 REVIEW

If you guys don't already know, I and my parents are huge fans of the TV show called "Grimm", which is a supernatural, crime-edition, fairytale show that sticks extremely close to the gory content of the Brothers Grimm tales.
(Though the 1st season was probably the heaviest as far as gore goes, the seasons following have their moments from time-to-time)
Well, considering the season came back on last night and it was massively nail-biting, I thought it was appropriate for me to give a little review of the show.

WARNING, this post will be containing spoilers, so if you haven't seen the episode yet or are just starting out with the show, please move on.

Or if you're just not interested, you can move on, too. ;P

Ok, so, the way they left us hanging last year, in the Winter finale, was just plain cruel.
Monroe was taken by those dirty sons-of-guns and in this episode, we see that it's the same people who were threatening Rosalee on the phone and probably the ones who've been sending them threats throughout the season, as well. Apparently, they are incredibly against Wesen mixing with one another and they kind've prove it by killing people. Yes, they go that far.

As it turns out, they're a race of what we assume to be a bunch of Blutbads (so far, we only see the two brothers go Blutbad) that form a group called the Wesenrein and they have captured poor Monroe and are planning to kill him.
Their group is something of that of Nazis, as they have the flag/symbol that is very identical to the one the Nazis used. Now, I'm thinking these guys are no doubtedly connected to Hitler, maybe committed followers far down the line, cuz if one was paying attention to a previous episode some seasons before, they will see that when Nick was watching an old reel clip of the nefarious tyrant, they will see that Hitler turned into a Blutbad.

Well, these guys sure are jerks, for lack of a better clean word.
Especially the young brother, he annoys the bejesus out've me.
He was so stupid, though. He totally gave Monroe too much information to use against them, if that is the way they are playing it, which I do believe is possible.
Why show the young brother having a leader-complex and thinks (probably) that he'd be a better head-honcho than his big bro and then of course have them clash a bit over a little power struggle if they weren't planning on using this down the line? Perhaps Monroe can use this against them. We've already seen the brother is an emotional roller coaster, no doubt cuz he's a teenager, and he makes mistakes. So taking advantage of the obvious problems might help get him out of this.
Though to be honest, I am really worried about the future of Monroe.
Is he going to get out of this alive, or are the writers going to use this opportunity to create a shock factor and kill off the old boy? I certainly freaking hope not. Cuz Monroe is perfect and the whole show itself would not be the same without him. :((((

On to other things, I suspected the cop (Hacker) was definitely hiding something.
They number one showed him way too many times for him to be just nobody. They usually show people for a little bit, who are victims of attacks, or just reference them in later conversations, that are completely faultless. But no, they made him a big deal and I'd have no idea how, with the way the Wesenrein handle things, that he would even be alive. If they're quick enough to kill their own just so, then they'd definitely kill off some guy sitting outside of Monroe and Rosalee's house.
So yeah, he's a rat. Or, you know, whatever you are, Hacker. O_o Nail him, Nick.

SPEAKING OF ROSALEE, THOUGH.
That one scene with her and Juliette scared me.
I was literally about to scream and die and throw something at the TV if they just killed her like that.

When they were prolonging, I totally thought it was for real, for sure.
But fortunately, it WAS just a nightmare.
Still though, not cool to do that to our hearts.
And the whole thing with Terry was mega-sad, btw. I was really hoping he'd make it out of there alive.
But sadly, that was not the case. Hoping Monroe delivers that ring to him, eventually.
Also hoping these dirt-bag Nazi wannabes get creamed. I've had enough of them and they just showed up.
Impaling while burning people to death is not the way to go about business, guys.

Glad to see, though, that Nick is going through that Oxygen-saver thing where is skin turns a ghostly blue/grey/white? It's pretty cool. It mostly shows up when he's going through something intense.

Regarding Wu, I am so glad we finally got Truth Wu in this episode. Sad Wu, Crazy Wu, Mad Wu, Confused Wu, Weepy Wu and Suspicious Wu were starting to break my heart.
I like him joining the circle of the Grimmers. Kind've awkward when he speaks of it, but the same goes for Renard and Hank. It takes some getting used to.
Now he's back to Funny Wu and Sassy Wu and that pleases me, cuz he made some of the best jokes on the show. And btw, he really is handling the whole Wesen thing rather well.

I need to rewatch the episode with my parents (who I watched it with last night and all the nights previous) because there are a few things in the episode I missed and need to see. I didn't quite catch the scene, for instance, with the croc guy that Renard was talking to.

But no, the way they ended the episode was not nice. I definitely need more and it's only the next day.
WHY A WHOLE WEEK, WHY?
At least, though, I'll be getting my Mentalist Thursday and Grimm Friday back, now that it's back on. :)
I missed my weekly schedule. ♥

Yeah so, hoping everything goes smoothly this next episode and my suspicions are put to the grave that anyone remotely important is gonna die. Cuz I don't want anyone to die. They're all fabulous.

But dude, they have so many cliffhangers for things.
I'm hoping, for one, to see Trubel and Josh again. I miss those two.
They took them off just as I started to really love their characters and also where the two actually started to get any real chemistry.
I also am still waiting for that Jaguar lady to come back that Hank liked. They had a great storyline and I really liked them as a potential couple. Plus Hank hanging with her brother was the best thing. :/

There's a possibility also that Trubel and Josh might bump into Nick's mom on the way. Hoping, hoping that Nick's mom reveals that she is Trubel's mother or at least her aunt or something. There's a total possibility that Trubel is Nick's Aunt's child, which will mean that Trubel and Nick are cousins, though I personally like them better as brother and sister. I just think the two are way too much alike to NOT be related. I mean, gosh.

So for the next episode, I'm hoping things turn up for Monroe and the whole gang. I certainly don't want anyone to die. They scared me earlier this season for almost killing Renard, but he's still alive, so we'll see.
Looks like meh girl Rosalee is gonna get feisty with the old Nazi jerks and there's a possibility Juliette will have to go berserk and get all Wesen herself if this thing turns into a dangerous situation involving Nick.
I know it's probably wishful thinking, but I really would like for Monroe's parents to come along and beat the scrap out of these guys. That would be hilarious.
So many cliffhangers, I'm dying.

But my honeys, I am not liking the titles of any of these next episodes. :( Especially number 11.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, #FREEMONROE

Majora's Mask 3D--New Saving Method

For all you Majora's Mask fans (myself including).

They've thus announced since this article that they're running along with the new saving method in the upcoming MM remake..


http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/majoras-mask-3d-might-feature-a-new-saving-method#.VLGjQD8GFQ

Apparently, commenters are saying they're glad for this since they 'had a problem' with the old way.
Honestly, I never did. I usually get past the small things like this and work around my environment pretty quickly. Certain games just go about certain aspects differently; in this case, you had to save the game via the statue and you can either revert time or create a temporary save.
I had no issue with it at all. I actually created a system; when you start a new day, if you want to progress through the story mode, fine, do it and then dump your stuff off so you can play the Song of Time and turn the game off. I always turned in all my Rupees over to the banker and whatever items I had, pft, they're fairly easy to obtain, so no biggy. And then I was done.
People complain way too much. ;P
Just get with the program, gosh. haha

---and this is another seemingly meaningless post done by le Character Queen. Good night, folks---

So (to the fans) did YOU have a problem with the old way? You already know my answer!

Why video games are actually quite frankly amazing

I know a lot of people have this very vicious stereotype that video games don't 'have a storyline' and that they're just for nerds. I'm fully aware of the hate or disinterest video games get from them. I've been aware of it ever since I knew what a video game even was.

Well I'm here to tell you, being someone who loves entertainment of all formats, that video games have some of the best storylines out there.

Sure, in the beginning, video games were corny little inventions to help pass the time and many of them DIDN'T have much of a plot to brag about. They gave you a mission and you followed it. Just like you would in a board game. Over the years, however, video games have grown into so much more. While things like Mario still stick around to keep especially the kiddies entertained and has a fair amount of plot that would match up with that of a cartoon, things like The Legend of Zelda, Halo and especially Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts have some of the best and most beautiful storylines out there, in my opinion. The characters created are amazing and many backstories are so deep and unexpected. The creators of these games even today try their best to bring in people who have their doubts. Who disbelieve that games have a plot. They strive to improve the graphics and material to make them seem real-like.
I might add that video games are basically like movies and shows, it's just that YOU can control where the story goes. YOU are the hero. 

Many video games have been converted into movies very nicely.
Advent Children, for instance, is one of my all-time favorite movies, as well as Wreck-It Ralph.
Halo: Forward Unto Dawn was brilliant. (and it even has Susan Pevensie!)

Video games can also teach you alot. They've been proven to help kids' puzzle-solving skills and interaction to things.

I might just be very easy to please when it comes to stuff, but I grew up with video games and had the love of them instilled in me, so I honestly can not even imagine what life would be like without some of the characters found in so many of the classics.
I know if more people caved in and just played, they'd really love it.
I always have a respect for folks who promote games so positively and encourage others, including the type that doubt, to play. Folks such as the awesome Robin Williams and Zachary Levi, for example.


Robin and Zelda


Zachary
Robin even named his daughter after Princess Zelda, for pete's sake.

So yes, games have had a large impact in character society. They have amazing characters and plots and the graphics are getting better and better, even though I've never been too picky on graphics to begin with.
Still, there's some really great stuff out there that people would really enjoy. There's games ranging from every scenario, every type of character, every type of plot, I'm sure you'll find something to get into.
Games even get created based on movies.

So please give them a chance. You have no idea what you're missing out on-- games are incredible things and I know you'll agree if you just pick up a controller and take a leap. :)

So with that, are you a gamer? If so...what's your favorite game? ^.^

Star Wars Episode VII: New Title!

I know this is late, but Star Wars announced the title for the new movie awhile ago: http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Star_Wars_Episode_VII_Will_Be_Called_The_Force_Awakens_160763.asp

So, what do you guys think? Personally, I don't think The Force Awakens is a very Star Wars-esque title. I don't know. Makes me wonder what the next movie's going to be about, especially since they're not going with the EU material.

The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies main trailer...

It looks amazing, but I know I'm gonna cry my eyeballs out in the theater. *weeps into pillow*
