Magneto won... fucking Haley Joel Osment

 I woke up in the worst timeline.

Riker is the Captain now... and now that dickweed Hwil Hweaton will not shut up...

Seems like Haley Joel Osment saw American Dad. Former Summoner Yuna is dancing to this:

According to the BBC...not that BBC you want, Sabrina Carpenter... I mean the one with the TARDIS... Sir Patrick Stewart is dead... he was starting a Battle with Alzheimer's and Lewy Body Dementia.

There is no more 💩 in the Emoji Movie... he was Death in a Hideo Kojima Castlevania... he was the Villain? In the CGI TMNT he also was in the OG Dune and shit. My condolences to friends and family... except Hwil Hweaton, because fuck him... 


Oct 26, 2026

Only Shatner and Takei remain:

 Walter Koenig, Ensign Pavel Chekov, has passed away at 90. He died of Natural causes.

My condolences to friends and family... to my understanding he was Best Man in George and Brad Takei's wedding.

I cannot comment much about hos works since I only know him as Chekov... and Star Trek was more of my mom's thing.

The rest of NYCC

 No TMNT From Mattel. Hasbro announced X-men 97 MLs, Spider-Man colors Venom.


Nacelle showed these...

McFarlane did Witchblade dirty and wants $50 for this. Not even Classic Witchblade that even casuals would get.

This was meh...

MOTU Revolution trailer out

 Granamyr is fucking Discord.

See this? It wasn't on the trailer, but I'm excited for Granamyr, because he's Q.


Shatner might be GWILDOR... and Skeletor is Mark Hamill... i hope Kevin Smith didn't fuck this up like Revelation...

Latin America lost their He-Man and Mr. Feeny.

 Rubén Moya, Mexican voice actor, has passed away. As stated in the title, he was MY He-Man... as in my earliest interactions with the show were with the Latin American dub, long before I could watch the show in English and appreciate John Erwin's work.

He was also the voice of Mr. Feeny, of all people, in the Latin American dub of Boy Meets World.


Boy Meets World in Spanish was far weirder for me than in English. He-Feeny is a lot stranger than KITT Feeny.
Is it me or does the Latin American Deku Tree sounds like he's got the POWER!!

He also was the voice of God, I mean Morgan Freeman.
He was not only God, but also Satan... South Park's Satan...
Spock, Picard, all He-Man. The Father of the Homunculi, the CGI Netflix Randor... He was also the ORIGINAL SCHWARZENEGGER VOICE FOR CONAN... He's literally voiced Dolph Lundgren in MOTU, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian, AND Sylvester Stallone in Over the Top! He's been around...

Apparently, the Cause of Death was Throat Cancer. My condolences to his friends and family. While I've never seen the man's face until today, it feels like I've lost a family member.

I often tend to be harsh with Mattel for all their bullshit, but I got to commend the Mexican Branch for using Rubén Moya to promote Origins.

I'm honestly crying as I watch these.

Será sencillamente hasta la próxima... Buen Viaje, Master!

I Kinda want Super7 to make figures from The Orville

 Super7 is making figures from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I may or may not get a Jonathan Frakes because I want him to assert hie dominance over chairs... I may get Patrick Stewart because it's Patrick Stewart and I might even use the old Wheelchair for a Professor X reference, but if I get Piccard, I might be tempted to get the Archnemesis of Sheldon Cooper, Hwil Hweaton... why? Three words that makes Wheaton mad:


But I'm here to talk about the Love Letter to Star Trek TNG, The Orville. In comparison to more Recent Trek shows, the Orville feels closer to classic Trek than actual current Trek shows. At the same time, the show feels different enough to NOT BE JUST "We have Star Trek at home" knock-off.

OK I just want a Seth McFarlane figure... OK, an Adrianne Palicki figure would be nice too! Sure I've  seen like 3 Episodes of the show, but it's Seth McFarlane, which would make him a great addition to my shelves. If Super7 made these in addition to TNG, and if lucky, the Original Trek, my shelves would have a massive nerdgasm. 

Having Shatner, Stewart and McFarlane picking on Wheaton would be Priceless.


Oct 27, 2022

Super7 is making TNG figures...

 And I honestly don't know how to feel about these.

I mean, these digital renders look nice. They sure will be when the final figures are revealed, like the Silverhawks. Even in this digital render face, the only one that looks really good, is Whoopi Goldberg's character. The one character that I should be excited the most, Riker, played by Jonathan Frakes, is the worst looking of the bunch. It's an injustice to David Motherfucking Xanatos what they did to Frakes's toy form.

The accessories, as always, are the most interesting part of the figures. The only issue is that I wouldn't want to waste $55 just to get a trumpet and then another 55 bucks to get a violin. I suppose Jean-Luc Picard will come with the flute. Holy shit! Riker comes with a trumpet, data comes with a violin, if Picard comes with a flute, we could have a Next Generation themed band. 

Ugh! The only awful part of a TNG line is that we will get yet another figure of the insufferable douchebag and 'Nita supporter, Hwil Hweaton.

Also, why doesn't Riker have a clean shaven head? I wonder if Dr. Crusher still knows how to turn them on... not my words, Hwil Hweaton's.

The figures look nice, but not $55 nice. I... just... hope... THAT they... dON't do... Original? Series... FIgures...

Lt. Uhura has been seen by a Keyblade wielder

 Nichelle Nichols, has become the latest victim of Emil Osment's brother and his accursed Necrosight. According to her son, Nichols passed away due to natural causes. As always, my condolences to her friends and family.


Pretty much everyone remembers her as Uhura... I'm not sure, but I think she was in Spider-Man the Animated Series... playing Blade's Mom IIRC. But Nichols was far more important for pushing diversity back in the day, not just on TV but for the Space Program... I know that some of you are thinking that I'm a hypocrite. Since I complain about "diversity" in modern media but Celebrate Nichelle Nichols. 

I can assure you that there is no hypocrisy there. Back then, diversity was about ADDING groups and not Replacing. But back to Ms. Nichols, who is the focus of this rant. It's really awesome how she used her Star Trek powers to help other people of color to boldly go where no people of color had gone before. I had to sneak that Trek Reference somewhere... May she rest in peace. Only Chekov, Sulu and Kirk remain... and I... am... dreaDING... theday... I... have... to... deLIVEr... some... bad... news...

Kevin Smith's bastardization of He-Man has the Shat-man

 Applejack's grandpa is voicing someone in the continuation to Revelation... we don't know yet who he will voice, but... it... worries... me that... ShatNER'S... stacCATo... delivery... will... ruIN... whoever... he... voices!

Also, let's face it, with how Revelation ended there is one onvious answer: HORDAK!! Or we could get a curveball and have him be King Hsssss... or he could always play Kobra...

Playmates toys is ass backwards

Says the guy who just bought a differentBillie Eilish action figure after bitching about the Noob Saibot Bukkake Billie Eilish. The figure is from the video When the Party is Over


Sadly, The figure is after she consumes Noob Saibot's semen, but not as much as the other figure where she was a victim of Netherrealm Bukkake. Is it too much to ask for a normal Billie Eilish action figure.

The only reason I'm getting this Billy Eilish action figure is a modern take of an old joke of mine. My old NECA Mirage Michelangelo had a fling with a custom figure of Miley Cyrus that I made many years ago. Since Miss Cyrus is old news and Billie Eilish kind of looks like a mutant Goldeen, well it kind of makes sense, or at least it Does in my warped mind. 

I shouldn't be using Super7 to make this Match. This should have been a purely Playmates crossover but it isn't. Why? Because Playmates is doing things ass backwards with their toylines.

Oh sure, they have the new Cobra Kai figures that look like ass and the turtles are reissues of the 10-14 years ago TMNT Classics that they keep pushing every few years... between "special anniversary releases" of the 80s toys. Their TMNT Game has been lacking for quite some time. Yes, I praised their Classics Rocksteady and Bebop despite their sculpt and Articulation issues, of course NECA came in and wrecked Playmates with the Toon Rocksteady and Bebop but Super7 made all Bebop and Rocksteady their bitches.

I'm not asking for 2022 Articulation since Super7 managed to do TMNT Justice with 1995 Articulation. They look like their 1987-1994 counterparts, but enhanced due to their larger size and articulation. Take Muckman and you can see what I mean, despite any issues I may have with Super7, they SEEM to put a lot of care on the TMNT figures. Playmates seems content with reissuing 10-35 year old figures and call it a day. If they feel generous they might change a cut joint to a ball/hinged joint.

Playmates just got back the Star Trek license and guess what they're doing? 1990s looking figures in the same scale as the 1990s toyline ith himge joints turned into ball hinges. Riker and Data look nothing like Jonathan Frakes and Brett Spiner respectively. Piccard kinda looks like Patrick Stewart, but all bald white man figures that are NOT Lex Luthor kinda look like him. I don't mind sharing scale throughout the decades...Hasbro has with the Joes for nearly 40 years. My issue would be if Hasbro's 2022 Scarlett looked EXACTLY like this:

Scarlett from the yojoe archive.

Despite the technological advances that allow female figures to have longer hair without impeding Articulation, Playmates' logic demands short hair on the figure. 

They have the Miraculous Ladybug line and only dolls are being released. I know someone did action figures of Miraculous, but that was like 7 years ago... seems that Playmates isn't doing Ben 10 anymore. According to their website they have:
Godzilla vs. Kong
Billie Eilish
Miraculous 
TMNT vs Cobra Kai
Spy Ninjas
Pikwik Pack
Vlad and Niki
Star Trek being the newest addition.

-The GvK stuff looks like 1997 toys.
-Pikwik pack is a Preschool show. And the toys look very Happy Meal-like. 
-Vlad and Niki are two siblings too young to have a YouTube channel, yet their parents are exploiting them as some sort of stars that ended up getting a toyline. The toys look like glorified Happy Meal toys.
-Spy Ninjas is... I have no idea what the hell this is, but apparently, they're YouTubers that foght evil hackers and they do Scooby Doo shit... I coild describe it as Retarded Powerless Rangers... I'm sorry if people white knighting people with intellectual disabilities or people with actual intellectual disabilities got offended by my usage of the word "retarded", but it's the only word that carried the weight to match the awfulness of these Spy Ninjas.
-Billie Eilish The dolls look OK, but I'm not one to be interested in buying them. I stopped doing the doll thing when Hannah Montana's jacket disintegrated. The action figures, well... I already reviewed one and swore I would never buy another Billie Doll... yet here we are.
-TMNT I've beaten this horse to death.  Back then The Classics TMNT figures showed innovation and a desire to play with the big boys... Rocksteady and Bebop showed that Playmates would rather cut as many corners as possible... Not gonna lie, I'm still mad at them for canceling their Mirage Splinter for the 25th anniversary.
It's sad, that the company that once toppled He-Man and usurped His position in Toy Royalty has been reduced to a joke that can't even manage to make a decent TMNT Line. Couple of waves, mutations, minis, reboot in a few years. Then there's the million turtle variants. I mean. These past few years have been the same four turtle sculpts in "toon inspired colors", movie inspired colors with different belts and head, second movie versions with new heads, mirage versions, with different belts, and now the Cobra Kai versions. They had the potential at something awesome, but they squandered it. TMNT is literally their bread and butter, yet sonehow they manage to screw it up.

Star Trek has potential, but their laziness will be detrimental to the final products. The excuse is that they make these toys for kids... but let's face the truth, what kids will be interested in a 35 year old show? I'm using TNG as a reference, since some of the figures seem to be TNG... also TNG was the last kid friendly Star Trek series. The fact that Playmates is going for pseudo retro figures is pure laziness, nothing else. 

It SEEMS like Playmates makes ⅛ of effort, whenever it has some media tie-in. For example, when Rise of the TMNT was around, they kinda put a bit of effort on the toys. They still cut a lot of corners. Like Michelangelo, they made the sculpt LOOK like the character and the figure has SOME articulation, but they cut corners on the paint applications. April, not only she doesn't look like the cartoon, she's missing paint applications and her glasses. Now that Rise is over what do they do? They dust off some molds from 1992 and rerelease a bunch of figures that I bought at $4.99 each, with a set of 6 at $39.99 putting each figure at $6.67... it doesn't sound like a huge increase, but the molds were made 30 years ago, the sculptors were paid 30 years ago. They're made in China, so producing these is a lot less than a dollar per unit, freight might be the only thing that would eat a big chunk of the figures' price, but Playmates is all about of spending less to maximize profits, so they're profiting a lot for so little effort. Sorry, that was the price for the mirage set. The vintage toy sets were $190 for 12 figures, which puts the price per figure at $15-ish.

I know, I know, that's capitalism. Problem is that we're getting older and the ones who fall for those stunts are a dwindling population. Kids who grew in 2k3 are reaching their 20s. Kids who grew up with 2k12 are in their mid to late teens.

Both NECA and Super7 are catering to ME, the late-30s to mid-40s crowd. NECA hits the spot with accuracy to other media (1990s movies and the Fred Wolf Studios Cartoon) Super7 is doing what Playmates should've been doing for their TMNT Classics and delivering larger scale toys based on the vintage line but updated for modern sensibilities. They are making an effort to make appealing products. I'm NOT seeing this with Playmates.

Hell, since they're so Hellbent on only throwing Vintage stuff at us, how about putting a little more effort:

How about "TMNT 87' The Lost Waves series"?

A continuation of the Vintage line with old and new faces. 
Wave 1:
Mirage Leo
Mirage Raph
Mirage Don
Mirage Mike
Karai
Scratch 
Mirage Casey
Mirage April
Mirage Splinter
Shredder Elite Soldier

The Mirage Turtles are the original Turtles with new belts in Mirage colors. (Brown belts, pads, red bandanas)
Karai is a kitbash of Ninja April without shoulderpad with Mitsu's arms and a cloth vest all painted in Karai colors.
Scratch is a repaint of the vintage toy. Instead of the old school Black and white striped uniform, he'd get the modern striped uniform in orange and white. His fur would be more brownish and the shoes black. His accessories would be neon green. The reason is to avoid scammers trying to sell 2023 Scratch as 1993 Scratch.
Mirage April is April 2 in Mirage Blue suit and brown boots
Mirage Casey is Casey in Mirage colors and brown accessories
Mirage Splinter is a rerelease of the previous Mirage Splinter.
Shredder Elite Soldier is a Foot Soldier repainted in Mirage colors but with a new Shredder elite guard head. Traditional ninja weapons from shredder fogure would be his accessory.

Wave 2:
Armaggon
Mirage Shredder
Mirage Foot Soldier
Mirage Fugitoid
Mirage The Boy
Aska

Armaggon is a new sculpt.
Mirage Shredder is a repaint of Shredder with the head repainted in true mirage fashion (no helmet brows, face is in shadows around the eyes)
Mirage foot soldier is a repainted moviestar foot soldier in Mirage Colors.
Mirage fugitoid is Fugitoid in white and silver
Mirage the boy is a new sculpt (partially reusable for Zach the 5th Turtle)


I am referencing the cartoon for colors only, since Mirage is black and white.
Aska is the head and torso of Mitsu with the arms and legs of Ninja April.

Wave 2 seems a little on the short side: that's because I have to add Mandatory Turtle variants: 
Traditional Ninja TMNT:
Torso and legs would be new and shared with all 4 turtles. (Baggy ninja gi and pants with ninja tabi) The arms would be reused from the Shogun Turtles without the vac Metal. Leo gets shogun Leo arms, Raphael gets shogun Raphael arms,  etc. For the heads they get the storage shell heads, but swapped around: Leo gets Raph, Mike gets Don, Raph gets Mike, and Don gets Leo. Each turtle gets a big scarf that also finctions as belt, sling, or mask.

Wave 3:
Zach the 5th Turtle
Attila
Rasputin
Robotic Bebop
Robotic Rocksteady

Zach is The Boy with a new head and new accessories 
Attila and Rasputin are repaints of the other two Punk Frogs woth new weapons 
Robotic Bebop and Robotic Rocksteady are gunmetal grey (not chromed) redecos of the originals with translucent weapons.

The final 5 figures are variants:
OG Line styled Next Mutation.
All 4 turtles get new arms and legs (same mold used on all 4) new belts for each turtle. Donny and Mike get half assed painted masks because Playmates needs to save money for the all new tooled Venus.

I tried to be lazy as modern playmates and reuse stuff up the wazoo. My part reuse was almot Mattel-like. I put some "second chances" at hard to find figures from the original line. Repainted to reduce chances of potential scams. I added Mirage variants of some characters because it was something we didn't get on the original. Not only that but I was able to "make some new characters viable" by the way of kitbash. Some newly tooled characters were unavoidable and they make it look like Playmates is ½ assing things instead of their modern usual ⅛. If the line gains traction, then Playmates could "vintagize" 2003, 2012, and even Rise of the TMNT... if Jim Lee stuff and Suupaa Taatorazu made it to the original line, tossing the rest of the TMNT multiverse into the vintage line is not a crazy idea... 

Now I know that you'll say that my "lost waves" go against my complaint with Star Trek.  You're correct... from a certain point of view. I dislike that Playmates is using "kids" as their excuse to be lazy with these Trek Figures. I'd rather have them take the Hasbro approach: same scale, updated sculpt and articulation, OR go full vintage, as my "lost waves" idea. (Same articulation style, same level of detail) 

If Playmates bothered to make an actual effort, we could've had a Marvel Legends equivalent for TMNT... It's sad to see Billie Eilish action figures get the treatment that TMNT Deserves.

Maybe it's time for nickelodeon to rethink the TMNT toy contract with Playmates...

Space... The Final Frontier...

 Shatner has gone where no man has gone before... but not aboard the Enterprise... but in Amazon's Beyond Prime subscription. Yes, Jeff Bezos sent Captain Kirk to Space. TJ Hooker in Space... The Host... of Rescue 911 reached Space... Applejack's grandfather is an Astropony. The face of Michael Myers's mask went to space... We can say that Bill Shatner finally is a Rock It Man! He's a Rocket, man!
Star Trek LXIX: The search for Space Poon is real...




I'm very afraid of the message this pic sends...

So we have William Shatner Riding a giant dick into Space.... Really? Riding a Giant Dick into Space should've been George Takei's thing... and no, I'm not making this reference as a form of mocking Mr. Takei's homosexuality.
Now Shatner riding a giant dick into soace feels super awkward. I can almost hear the Shat-man saying:
"I rode... A... GIANT dick? into... Space... the Final frontier... no HOmo!!"

But all jokes aside, congrats to Captain Kirk for TRULY REACHING SPACE... the final frontier... and boldly go where no Canadian Grandpa has gone before.

Jan 28, 2021

Day 4 ReAction boldly goes where no ReAction has gone before...

 Sarkeesian ass kisser Hwil Hweaton will become a ReAction Figure. Worf, Piccard, Data, a Borg, and Guinan will be the figures...

Kinda lame announcement  

Also, not a teaser, but Ultimates is getting Transformers... I might get Optimus, Megatron, Soundwave, and Starscream... Bumblebee better be smaller... but it's highly unlikely I go for any of these.

May 7, 2020

It... caME! From the... Toy? CHEst!! Space... The? Final... FRONtier

These... Are... the VOYages? of the... Starship... EnterPRIse!
 Its! five-year? mission!
To? EXplore... strange nEW worlds... To sEEk... out? new LIfe and... new? civilizaTIONs. To bOLDly!! Go? where... no man... has gone? BEfore!
And this is the part where my Mom would wail the chorus like a banshee. Then she would scold me for mocking Captain James Tiberius Kirk... I would say that no one cared enough about TJ Prostitute for me to mock. She'd correct me angrily and then act as if something was to my right. I'd look and get slapped on the back of the head. She'd blame the gremlin... point is that my irreverent appreciation to the Shatman is in part due to my Mom's admiration of William Shatner.

 Captain Kirk in a nutshell: A collecrion of interspecies STDs, a clear violation of the Prime Directive.

And the line died with just Kirk and Piccard... No Spock, Ryker, McCoy, Beverly Crusher, Sulu, or... SHUT UP WESLEY!!
I... can't... get any!
Sig? NAL!! On the...
CoMMUnicaTOR!!

Articulation
 Since this is a McFarlane toy and has it requires the bullshit rituals I complained about recently. The waist seems like it has an articulation point but despite eating it up it won't budge. so I'm not going to risk it. He's got single jointed elbows and knees very basic articulation and unlike the doomguy most of it is usable. Sadly he cannot create a Infamous Kirk sitting pose.
3.5
Paint and sculpt 
Since it's a McFarlane Toy, the sculpt here didn't disappoint. His face kind of looks like Michael Myers... the one from Halloween not the one from Shrek. I had to re-watch a couple of episodes of the original series to catch the likeness all Shatner next to the toy.  My Kirk had no visible issues on the paint Department.
5.0
The other pic was the
most dynamic pose I could get out
of Kirk... NO! He's not trying to
send Dick picks to Yeoman Rand

Accessories
Extra hand
Phaser
Communicator
Rifle
Sadly he has no tribbles...
4.5

Overall

James Tiberius Kirk gets a 4.33 as his final score. It's a VERY GOOD Score for a McFarlane Toy. It's a shame that the line got cancelled. We could have used mein Enterprise crew for both original and Next Generation... also we were denied the ultimate variant 2 pack:
Pon Farr Spock vs Kirk...

Equestria... The Final Frontier.

Prepare... YOUR plots... Everypony! Because William SHATner... is coming... to MY... Little Pony... Friendship IS... Magic. Yup, TJ Hooker has joined Weird Al, Q, Ocean Dub Vegeta, as a voice in MLP: FIM.

Okay? What's going on between Ahnuld and the President? El, Presidente Trump dissed Arnie on Twitter and Arnie fired back. Now The Terminator wants to Smash El Presidente's Fake Tanned Face on a table... (You know that shade of Orange is not natural, whether you loathe or like him.) Suddenly, President Schwarzenegger doesn't sound THAT bad... I mean, just picture this as the National Prayer:


No frigging way! a Tomb Raider Reboot starring Alicia Vikander... I have no idea who she is besides her being Michael Fassbender's girlfriend. Well, it seems like it's gonna be inspired by the Tomb Raider Reboot series (The Square Enix Games)

You know? My Matty Package arrived a few days back... AFTER I was told it was lost and that I would get no refund, since I was "International"... Now I have a spare Tuskador...

Odds and ends 8th of July, 2016

I ain't afraid of no bad reviews, but SONY IS CRAPPING THEIR COLLECTIVE PANTS!!
There is a review embargo for Feig's Bridesmaids 2: Ectoplasmic Boogaloo! Apparently, there's a movie review embargo until July 10, the release date for the movie in the UK.

It makes sense for them to have that embargo, seeing that the movie looks like a giant steaming piece of crap that makes The Adventures of Pluto Nash look good... Was that a bit too much? I mean, which other Nerdy movie property was hit with a review embargo... Think, think!
Some people say MARTHA!! Others mention Trankt4stic... Point is, the only reason a Movie gets a review embargo is: Word of Mouth will kill this movie and we need to make most of the cash ASAP!! (Can't wait to see MARTHA!! Bigger Longer and Uncut to see if they fix some of the errors the Theatrical Release had)


Speaking of more SJW antics: Iron MAN is now a Teenage Black Girl... Iron MAN is a 15-year old black girl... Again, IRON MAN is now a GIRL... that happens to be black...

I think this is a load of BS... It's not Female Thor bad, but it still is bad...
-Ultimate Spider-Man was killed in order to have Miles Morales as Spidey.
-616 Nick fury was replaced by his bastard Black Son...
-Hulk is Asian now and not Banner.
-Cap was depowered and turned into an old Man so Falcon could take up the reigns as Cap... Then Cap became a Nazi and it was NOT a gimmick until it WAS a gimmick.
-Now Tony ends up being replaced by a 15-year old black girl who "Reverse Engineered" Iron Man tech... The legalities of that can be questionable... Especially since this is dealing with Iron Man Tech... Is this a set up for Armor Wars III?

Now let's talk Riri Williams... This cover kinda sexualizes a 15-year old black girl... Your move perennially offended...
Now the fact that this girl is black and built her armor out of STOLEN MATERIALS... kinda plays to the stereotype of Black people are thieves. Whatcha' gonna' do now SJWs? Your new female of color Ironman is a thief who will be sexualized in covers... Also, does anyone see the impracticality of that hair? Now, SJWfolk, it's not a racist question. Hair is hair, but when you have too much of it and have to cram it into a Metal Helmet with moving parts it could become a liability. Straight, curly, or wiry if you'r hair's too long and you need to fit it INSIDE the helmet, it won't be easy. I'm still trying to figure out how the invincible Mullet from the 90s fit inside the helmet.

New Sulu is now gay... Wanna know who is against this? I'll give you a hint:

Yup! The Original Sulu, George Takei, who happens to be gay and gay disagrees with making the Straight Sulu into a gay man.
His comments on the issue highlight my main issue with SJWfolks getting into fiction and tweaking established characters to fit an agenda.

"I’m delighted that there’s a gay character. Unfortunately, it’s a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it’s really unfortunate."

"I told him, 'Be imaginative and create a character who has a history of being gay, rather than Sulu, who had been straight all this time, suddenly being revealed as being closeted.'"
"I said, 'This movie is going to be coming out on the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, the 50th anniversary of paying tribute to Gene Roddenberry, the man whose vision it was carried us through half a century. Honor him and create a new character. I urged them. He left me feeling that that was going to happen,"

This Hijacking of established characters and turning them into something else is wrong! Making the Doctor a woman, Sulu gay, or Stripping THOR of his identity... (Beta Ray Bill was NOT THOR. He had the POWER OF THOR, but wasn't Thor.) I mean look at Static. Instead of hijacking another hero, the team behind Static's creation made their own character. Electric Powers are somewhat common in comics. Virgil Hawkins is an average kid who was "cursed" with powers and now has a responsibility to do the right thing. Caught the Spidey influence? Did you catch the part where they replaced Peter Parker with a black kid? No, because they didn't... (not because Pete is Marvel and Static was created on DC, but that they took inspiration from the more mundane aspects of Spidey's life.) Marvel's approach to these new characters has been: REMOVE WHITEY FROM POWAH! Add minority or a woman! Miles was a FLUKE... Usually Replacing Peter Parker as Spider-Man doesn't go too well... Remember the time Peter Parker was replaced by... wait for it... PETER PARKER? Well, It alienated fans and right now, comics can't afford to lose fans, just because a loud group of NON-FANS are bitching about it.

Odds and ends June 20, 2016

I'm afraid I must start with some Horrible News:
Anton Yelchin, the Star Trek Reboot's Chekov has passed away in a freak car accident. People dying really sucks, especially when they are victims to an accident. Getting pinned by his own car... damn!




Screw the Olsen Douches! Fuller House will keep going on without them. At least everyone except them will show up for a possible Thanksgiving Episode! They say they had no connection to the show like the rest of the cast. That part is understandable... The twins who played Nicky and Alex didn't have that connection either, but they filmed a Cameo appearance. Doing that won't kill the twins... They only need to send ONE for a quick Cameo. The only reason they have the tons of money as "Fashion Moguls" IS BECAUSE OF FULL HOUSE! All the other movies, TV show, videogames were made possible because Full House made them a household name!


Stephen King gave George R.R. Slow as a Restaurant Ketchup Bottle Martin some tips on how to write faster... I mean, wow! George needs tips on how to write faster? I can give you a few:
-Get off your ass and WRITE!! You're a WRITER, do your frigging job!
-Stop going to cons, TV shows, radio shows and bunch of things that keep you too far away from home for far too long...
-If you REALLY HAVE TO GO, then LEARN TO FREAKING WRITE AWAY FROM HOME!!
Seriously, man! I'd like to read the final 2 books sometime in MY LIFETIME!!

Space is no longer the final frontier...

The... Final... Frontier... Seems to be... Equestria!
It appears that Captain Kirk himself... no not Chris Pine, the REAL KIRK...

Yes, boys and girls, The Shatman himself is a Brony!!!

Insert an I'm... on a... horse! joke here
There's nothing I can say here other than a joke about Captain Kirk trying to show the Prime Directive to Unicorns, Earth Ponies, Alicorns and Pegasusususus!

Well, there is something I can say. It's great to see a bunch of adult celebrities enjoying the show and proudly admitting it BECAUSE it IS a good show that ALL can enjoy, even if the intended target audience IS young girls.

I kinda expected Takei to be the OG Star Trek Brony... It's kinda weird having TJ Hooker as a Brony.

Only Sulu, Chekov, Uhura and Kirk are left...


Not the best way to end February, but I'm afraid to say that Leonard Nimoy has passed away.
The man behind Spock, Master Xehanort, The Narrator in Seaman for the Sega Dreamcast, Galvatron in Transformers: The (much better) Movie, Dr. Jekhyll and Mr. Hyde on the Pagemaster and many other roles... but most of them involve Spock in some way. He is also rumored to have done some of Unicron's lines in Transformers: The (not a crappy Michael Bay) Movie.



Spock was able to knock down Logan with a Vulcan Nerve Pinch... (yes this was a comic and Wolverine recovered, but Spock beat Logan with one move.)









While you may no longer be tied to this realm, Mr. Nimoy, I echo the salute of your character Mr. Spock. Live long and Prosper in this new plane you're in. Thanks for all the hard work to entertain generations.

Odds and Ends Oct. 16 2013

Well, Matty messed up... Horde Troopers sold out in 10 minutes approximately. Mantenna went out a few minutes later. Nepthu... well he hasn't sold out and I hope he lasts longer than Hurricane Hordak... Just to prove a point. Also, there will be no second run of Horde Troopers... Seriously, Horde Troopers = Printing Money, but nooo... That's too much work!

Remember Rebecca Black and her infamous Friday Song? Do you Remember Nicole Westbrook and the horrible It's Thanksgiving song? No...

Well, Creepy Turkey-Man, Patrice Wilson strikes back... but with more bad lyrics and racism...

I felt REALLY Disturbed after watching this... Seriously, the pedo-level on this video is OVER 9000!!!
(sorry, I've been trying since Yesterday a way to use OVER 9000!!, but my point still stands)
With each passing video, Patrice Wilson is becoming far creepier in the way he interacts with these girls... Not to mention all the Asian "wrongs" that are on the video, which makes it racist due to cultural ignorance... and stereotype abuse BTW... OK, the video is awful. It would be SLIGHTLY LESS horrible if Mr. Wilson wasn't surrounding himself with all these little girls.

Nothing Strange here. Just an Adult dressed up as a Panda, playing Monopoly with a bunch of 12-year-old girls in a bedroom. Cause there's a grown man not related to any of the kids there at THEIR Sleep-Over... Not to mention how he's eyeing the girls behind him speaking about eating Chinese food...
I normally don't promote Kickstarters... but this one is really cool! Because it's not a Kickstarter... it's a KIRKstarter... for Star Trek Continues... A... Webseries... continuing to go... where no Shatner... has gone before! Seriously, If you love Star Trek and want this project to happen, donate some money...
I mean it's a lot better than giving it to a Tumblr media critic that makes video readings of Wikipedia articles on sexism...
