Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants.

Apparently, Quinton Flynn is in hot water regarding this theme. Here's an article.
Seems like Jonny Quest gets girl to send him nude selfies, vids of them touching themselves and in some cases he has had one night stands and then he then ghosts them.
Of course brigades have begun to attempt to cancel Raiden... I don't know how to feel about The Human Torch being a lecherous dude. Or Iruka-sensei sexting women... or Reno of the TURKS ghosting girls after one night stand... need one more reference...
Bet he says this to all girls: "my dick: got it memorized?"
I don't think he should be cancelled. He might be a douche for using his fame to sleep with women. I mean, Jared Leto does the same thing and apparently he likes them underage and there's no cancel Leto movement.
Now, the so-called evidence are a couple of sexts taken out of context... we don't have access to the entire conversacion so we don't know if Q-Flynn started it or if he was reacting to the other party.
There's a compilation of audio clips of Raiden talking dirty... He's allegedly using the Raiden/Johnny Storm and Jonny Quest voice but the video was set to private. In other words the "proof is being purposely hidden".
Being a philanderer is not illegal, especially if it's between consenting adults. I hope this doesn't end like Vicg Mignogna...
I know people are going to say that I should give it a chance. I can't give it a chance because I know how Hollywood producers operate and I've seen plenty of American anime adaptations to know that this is going to suck donkey dick. On one hand the casting notice says that they're looking for Asian kids to play that characters which is kind of nice and refreshing. Probably it's just to avoid the backlash from scarjo as kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell.
On the other hand it's one of the Arads as a producer, if I recall correctly one of them was involved in Ghost in the Shell. Also it's the reason why we got queefer Sutherland replacing David Hayter in Metal Gear Solid 5.
On the other other hand this is Naruto we're speaking about... yeah I could a screw this up big time believe it!!
On the other other other hand I want to see this train wreck...
Prepare for a butthurt review... Cause your butt's gonna hurt after the Thousand years of Death!
I'm talking about Kakashi Hatake, you know who's sensei
Let's get cracking:
Articulation:
It's similar to Naruto's but different at the same time. Kakashi is an older figure (Original Naruto version)
The head has better range than Naruto. Combined with the Torso, he can pull off the Idiot Run better than Naruto.)
The thighs have a weird Articulation... I'd describe it as a hybrid between DCUC thighs and MOTUC Thighs. 5.0
Paint and Sculpt:
The Sculpt looks like Kakashi. The paint applications are pretty neat and no visible slop. I accidentally scratched a bit of paint from one of the faceplates when I dropped it changing it. CAREFUL!!!
5.0
Accessories:
1 extra head with 2 faceplates (due to the Exposing the Sharingan eye from Obito) 8 extra hands, 2 kunai, 1 Icha Icha Paradisu book. (I kinda wish he came with a stand) 5.0
Overall:
It's obvious that Kakashi gets a 5.0 using my ratings scale. He is not TRULY PERFECT. No toy can be, but his clever articulation, crisp paint job, decent sculpt and loads of accessories make him an amazing toy.
Apparently, I somehow ended up with a SH FiguArts Sennin Naruto figure...
I know, I know... For someone who supposedly Hates the living crap out of Naruto, I somehow have a bit too much Naruto Merchandise... Naruto: Ultimate ninja 3 was my gateway into becoming a Narutard.
But, this Naruto, the Sage Mode Naruto is from a point of the story that I haven't reached yet. when I was watching Shippuden, I only reached around the time where Orochimaru's hideout is discovered. Reason I remember this is
(Need to rewatch everything to refresh my memory... Currently I'm on part one and the Third Hokage FINALLY DIED...) Do I need to explain who Naruto is? Annoying Tracksuit wearing ninja...
Articulation:
This brat can be put in MANY POSES... BELIEVE IT!!
Bandana can be posed
has balljoint head AND Neck
His torso and waist are balljoints
His shoulders are ball jointed AND have a shoulder hinge that some Toy Biz Marvel Legends had.
Doublejoint Elbows
Ball joint wrists (think the new MMPR with interchangeable hands)
Ball joint thighs (like MOTUC but more aesthetically pleasing)
Double joint knees and ball joint feet 5.0
Paint and sculpt
Most of the figure is molded in the appropriate colors. What little paint is applied, it has no visible slop. It looks like Naruto so, it's a win for me!! 5.0 Accessories:
OK, he has 2 Extra face plates, 5 extra hands, 1 rasengan, 1 rasen shuriken, 2 kunai AND a stand. 5.0
Overall:
Naruto is as close to a PERFECT ACTION FIGURE AS ONE CAN GET... 5.0 If he wasn't so expensive (as Japanese Imports tend to be) I'd buy a couple for Kagebunshin... I just wish American Toy companies paid as much attention to their toys as Japan does...
And according to Naruto's creator, it'll be better than Naruto... Believe it!
That's not a bad thing... Going through some Naruto filler right now. Seriously Naruto uses more filling than Taco Bell uses rice on their burritos. But wait, there's more... Lionsgate is working on a Live Action Naruto movie...
So, I'm Blond now. I decided on a change of look... I look like a beardless Guy Fieri or a Fat Naruto... I also happened to acquire a Konohagakure Headband. So, believe it... Now if Emo-Store would stock up on Orange Tracksuits... No, I'm not becoming a Narutard... OK, maybe I've been Binge-watching Naruto (The Annoying First Part) but in Japanese (No offense to Maile Flanagan, but English Naruto is annoying... Believe it!) and I kinda want to cosplay as Naruto, ironically... I did an Ironic Edward Cullen once. Now I might need to get an extra Mo-Larr head to paint blond... for Nefty-kun 2.0 but back to Naruto... Once I finish the Series, I might write some thoughts about it... If anyone knows where can I watch Shippuden for free, it'd be nice if you told me.
What started as Point Break meets Need for Speed and then turned into Ocean's Eleven with Cars has now 8 Movies...
Now Vin Diesel is the bad guy and The Rock has to work with the Transporter to stop the Iron Giant... or Riddick... Guess they'll kill off Paul Walker and threaten Diesel's sister to turn him into the Dark Side... BUUUUUT It's all a ruse by Diesel to bring down Theron... Thing is while I'm speculating that's the plot, the action looks so ridiculous that I GOTTA SEE THIS!!
This man is a hero. What he did is what makes wearing the Red Kringle Outfit a massive honor. Comforting a dying kid takes a lot of strength. Bringing happiness to a child is why we don the outfit. Mr. Eric Schmitt-Matzen, I salute you!
Burrito: Son of Naruto is getting a Manga Series... Believe it! I'm actually curious seeing that I LOATHE Naruto... up till the Get Sasuke back act. I began enjoying it, but my source to Naruto stuff moved away and there's no way I'm gonna start buying Naruto stuff to get up to date... Heck! I've not Preordered the SH Figuarts Ranma figures and I LOVE Ranma 1/2...
So, Boruto... I need to get caught up on all the Naruto shenanigans and figure out how the hell did he... Oh wait, Hinata! I see... Point is that I'm curious about this whole Naruto The Next Generation or Burrito Meets World. I hope Boruto does not get the Gohan Treatment...
What? I needed to do the Mandatory Annoying Believe it! reference... BELIEVE IT!!
I just saw this trailer and I'm sorta pumped... To be Honest I'm curious about the Old Man Naruto angle... Yes, I know someone will try to use the whole: "Why do you want to see old man naruto when you can't stand old man he-man!" argument. To that I say that Naruto has had his long share of adventures where we see him grow from a child into a young man. He-Man only gets a small slice of his adventures then rebooted. Latest case most of He-Man's exploits happened Off-Panel before being turned into an old deadbeat dad.
I love Halloween! dressing up, getting candy, It's like going to a sci-fi convention, but with douchebags, little kids and no scalpers. so that allows me to show off some cosplay pics... I mean these guys spend a lot of time and money to create costumes based on their favorite characters...
Anime. The cartoons from Japan. Ususally harder to translate into live action films, yet Hollywood wants to do it. Not even the Japanese themselves can bring decent anime to live action. But they've done it a lot better than Hollywood, why? No executive Douchebaggery and desire to leave their own stamp on the project. No cultural differences wall affecting the production. etc. So far the only Amaricanized Anime live action movie that worked is Speed Racer.
Now, that I got that out of my chest I'm gonna do another of my lists.This time they'll be of Anime that SHOULD be adapted to Live Action Hollywood Movies and Anime that SHOULDN'T BE TOUCHED BY HOLLYWOOD EVER!! (Especially Fox)
First on my list of Anime that should be made into a movie:
Full Metal Panic! (The exclamation point is part of the title) It's about a Secret Military Organization that sent one of their members to protect a girl with mysterious abilities. The only problem is that she's a highschool student and the Bodyguard is a teen who was raised as a soldier and only has lived in the battlefield. There are giant Mechas somewhere in the story too. This yells adapt me! Romantic Comedy Elements, Cool action scenes, Fish out of water situations... I'm pretty sure that Hollywood would go for Zac Efron to play Sagara Sousuke, and I actually wouldn't mind right now. A few months back I would've screamed ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR #$%^& MIND!?
Fullmetal Alchemist This one also say Adapt me!! The Elric Brothers lived a happy life with their mother until she died. They attempt to revive their mother by using Alchemy, but something went wrong... The younger brother, Alphonse, lost his body and Edward, the elder, lost an arm and a leg. (one in the attempt of reviving his mother, the other while binding his brother's soul to an armored suit. Now Edwars, outfitted with some advanced prosthetics and Alphonse (the sentient Armor) travel the world in search of the Philosopher's Stone. A stone that allows the user to practice Alchemy without the side effects of Equivalent Exchange. (In order to get something you must give something with the same value)
Hellsing Long story short. Britan's Protestant Church have a special unit dealing with the supernatural, led by a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing (as in the rival of Dracula). Her Paramilitary Organization fights the undead with heavy firepower and a secret weapon. Alucard... a vampire. I mean THE vampire. Alucard is so awesome that makes Blade look like a sissy.
Neon Genesis Evangelion. This one screams Make me!! (Even thoguh Hollywood has a 99% of chance of dropping the ball here.) Psychologicaly damaged teens pilotig big "Mechas" (Trying to avoid spoilers) and defending the Earth from the otherworldy beings called "Angels". Yes there is a boatload of Christian symbols used here. (That's what Japan does when they want to do something cool. They add lots of elements from Western Religion even when they don't have anything to do with the story.)
Now The following Scream STAY AWAY HOLLYWOOD!!
Ranma 1/2: The story of a boy who gets cursed by becoming female when doused with cold water and returns to normal with warm water. Tons of fighting and romantic comedy elements, yet it's charm would be lost because he's a boy that turns into a girl when doused with cold water.
Yu-Gi-Oh! (and any other anime that involves the fate of humanity being decided by plaing a Children's card game.) Why? The fate of humanity being decided by a Children's card game... I love Yu-gi-oh! But I wouldn' go see alive action movie (unless they gave away free cards. The only reason why I saw the animated movie at the theatres.)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Ahh! Haruhi... You are one seriously messed up girl. You might not know this but Haruhi has the powers of a god and she doesn't know it. She is surrounded by an alien, a time traveler, an Esper (A mystic power ranger type of character that works for a secret organiztion.) Funny fact the english dub of Kouzumi the Esper is a Power Ranger, not Tommy... (one of the other guys who was on Tommy's team.) and last but not least Kyon. The normal guy who gets sucked into this mess because he shares a connection with Haruhi. Also they's try to have a teen star playing Haruhi and possibly have Haruhi-inspired songs... (As much as I might like Miley Cyrus' acting and singing I do NOT want her to be a part of a Haruhi project!!)
Naruto: First of all they would make these kids 18+ and defeat the whole kid ninjas beating the crap out of everything. There's also the bad aftertaste of the 3 Ninjas movies and Surf Ninjas (The only movie ever to promote the battery juice devouring Game Gear and to have Leslie Nielsen as a cyborg villain.) Believe it!
Last but not least...
An americanized live action will suck. That is all.
Funny thing is that I love all of these except Naruto. I didn't add Gatchaman, Voltron or Macross to these lists because I mentioned them on another topic.
