The Ten Guilds of Ravnica

OK guys so I have been playing alot of Magic the Gathering lately and I was researching colour combinations and I found out that for every two colour combination there is a guild attributed to it.

So my friends I present to you the guilds of Ravnica

Now I won't go through all of the guilds but I will tell how cool the idea is. Not only does it have a great story behind it but its so cool to see that just by changing one colour in the combination will change how it plays and what it represents here are some examples. 

The Selesnya Conclave Green/White=The beauty of the nature 

The Gruul Clans Green/Red= The fury of nature

The Golgari Swarm Green/Black= The horror of nature 

The Simic Combine Green Blue= The change of nature

Just by changing the secondary colour you can rewrite everything about it. 

The guilds are great because not only do they help to create a lore in magic but it can also help players learn there play style easily.

Personally I like to play golgari. Golgari gives you the big dude that come from green but also they give you the spells and powers of black. So if I have a big dude and he's killed I can bring him back because of black. Also black will let me destroy and leech my opponents creatures. 

Magic the Gathering is a great game that I highly support. 

So tell me guys? What do you think of Magic? Do you hate it do you love it? Do you even play? and if you do what colours do you play?

Star Wars Rebels!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright guys it happened. Star Wars Rebels came out last night! And I have to say it was pretty good. When the series was first announced I was pretty scared, because something like this had happened before. When Disney bought the rights to Marvel Studios they cancelled Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes and replaced it with the watered down no character development abomination Avengers Assemble and really didn't want that to happen to star wars. But I was not disappointed so lets start analysing.

     

Characters

Ezra: Ezra was the main character for the first two episodes. He lost he parents, is living on the streets you get the just. I'm not a huge fan of this guy. He just comes off arrogant and stupid in my opinion. I know why he is in the series, so younger kids can relate to him and blah blah blah but I just don't like him. 

Kanan: This guy is a boss. Kanan is a Jedi that survived Order 66 and after he went into hiding he thought to himself "I should totally become Malcolm Reynolds from firefly" and he did and it's awesome. I really like the way he uses the fact that he is Jedi in  a world that thought Jedi were extinct. He just as likely to use a blaster as he is to use his lightsaber and when I saw he I thought to myself "there is one who I could follow, there is one who I could call Master Jedi. 

Zeb: Zeb is the muscle of this group so you know his personality. I was really happy at how Zeb didn't just come off as a jerk they do show that Zeb has emotions and feelings. He was pretty funny too. I want to know more about his species and how he got that awesome weapon. 

Sabine: Sabine is explosive expert on the team. She is sassy sly and likes to blow things up. Oh and she's a Mandaloria so instantly I want to know more. The last time we saw Mandlorians in Clone Wars was when Darth Maul had taken over death watch and there was a mini civil war going on the planet. So I want to know, how does it turn out? Who is leading Mandalore? And will we be seeing a certain Mandalorian Clone? (Boba Fett). I did like Sabine though I think she has potential.  

Hera: Hera is the Twi'lek owner of the Ghost the ship that is totally not a relative of Serenity. Hera has a good personality on her shoulders. She is smart, she knows what she's fighting for and she is totally the "mother" of the group. I think she's a great character and I ship her with Kanan..............................search your feelings you know it to be true.

Chopper: Chopper is the groups Astromech droid and he is hilarious. He is the complete opposite of R2-D2. There was one seen where Ezra was trying to break in to Kanans room and Chopper just walked right be it. And that blew my mind! R2 would have charged in there with his tazer zapping. 

The Villain of this episode was Agent Kallus. He was pretty cool but he didn't get enough screen time  for me to make an opinion. I'm just waiting for Vader to show up.

My only complaint in this episode would be the animation. It's the same style of animation but it's different. The characters are rounder then they were with clone wars and it's weird. 

So Star Wars Rebels did you see it? Do you love it? Do you hate it? Do you just want Clone wars to come back. And who are you hoping to appear in this series.

What movies have in store for us

Ok guys so if you haven't heard every single company that owns a fraction of a comic character is making a movie. In the past week I've heard people talk about Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Inhumans, Shazam and AQUAMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm here to talk about it.

Doctor Strange 

Awesome. Marvel has already released a release date for this movie July 8, 2016 and I can't wait. I would be great to see the good doctor jumping in and out of realms, shooting magic spells and battling demons. But I won't lie, this will be marvels biggest gamble since Guardians of the Galaxy. But lets hope that it's just as good. I mean supernatural is doing great and they don't have a fraction of the budget Disney has. 

Shazam 

This is an odd chose. I now Shazam is a fan favourite and I know he would be awesome to see flying around with lightning bolts and going toe to toe with the Rock. But how are they going to do Billy Batson? In the comics Billy is a kid who meets this wizard who gives him superpowers. But there is a huge flaw in the sense that they could spend why to much time on Billy and not enough on the big red cheese.

But seriously THE ROCK AS BLACK ADAM? Yes 

 Aquaman 

Now you guys know me. And you know that I have wanted a Aquaman movie. So as you can tell I am happy but I the only thing I worried about Drago aka Jason Momoa aka Aquamn. I not sure if he has the chops for a gig like this. True not many people thought Dave Batista could pull off Drax and he did great. Still I have words of wisdom for DC "DON'T MESS THIS UP"

Deadpool

You done good movie, you done good. Do this right I will forgive your X-Men Origins Wolverine. 

Suicide Squad 

 

There not going to make this movie. Not yet. And if they do it would be a mistake. DC you should never plan on making a team of Anti-heroes IF YOU HAVEN'T EVEN CREATED A MOVIE FOR YOUR TEAM OF REAL HEROES!!!!! Seriously if DC makes a Suicide movie before the justice league I will quit the DC movie franchise. They need to get there act together. But on the possibility of the movie.................................................it could work. 

So comic books movies. Who do you want to see who do you not want to see? Who do you think should play who. And am I the only one who thinks that DC needs to get there act together?

My Justice League Line Up

Ok so last post I made my personal Avengers line up so it was obvious that I make one for the justice league. But I'm only going to show the pictures because I don't really have much to say.
LETS DO IT

#Illuminati 

My Avengers Line up

Ok guys so today I'm just gonna tell you who I want one the avengers. Lets begin

Captain America 

Lets face it you can't really have the avengers with out cap.

Spider-man 

Pete just deserves this. He is a great hero, a great character and a great addition to the team. It makes no sense to way he wouldn't be on the team. Everyone knows he's a hero everyone loves him. He's Spider-man

Captain Marvel 

 

I think that Carol has had this coming. Miss Marvel has always been a great member of the avengers and I think if marvel really wants to push this transition from Miss to Captain she should be on the team and maybe even lead it. 

She-Hulk 

I think that She-Hulk is a great addition to the team. As a power house and as a lawyer. Because lets face it, With Civil War...........people getting sued. 

Blue Marvel 

How has he not been an avenger? He is a freak of a power house he has a golden moral compass and he is humble. To me he would add a great deal of realism to the avengers with the struggle for diversity and he would be a great mentor to Captain America/Falcon. 

Daredevil 

 

Because he's awesome. 

And ill just show you the rest of the pictures.

Thor is not gone

Ok guys so if you haven't heard Thor is going to be replaced with this chick.  And you can see what I think about it in my post Marvels New Changes.

And at first I wasn't in much support of this. I said that this was just going to be another chapter in the story of Thor and this woman wouldn't really matter.  But then I saw this picture. 

IT'S THOR AND HIS AWESOME!!!!! And now a little thought has popped into my head. I do believe that only Mjolnir will go to the new Thor lady and Thor himself will still be in the comics. That would be great! And I would really enjoy it. Because firstly it would allow us to have this new Thor Chick and Thor duke it out which I and so hoping for. And it would help to separate Thor from Mjolnir. I have always said that Thor is superstrong with out the hammer but comics haven't done a great job of separating what Thor can do by himself and what Mjolnir lets him do. Stan Lee created him to be Marvels strongest character but that has been a title that he has had to fight for. He is supposed to be stronger then the hulk BY HIMSELF and the hammer is just supposed to put him over the top. Alot of Thors writers made Thor dependent on Mjolnir, making it look like he is useless with out it. But now he is packing an axe and awesome metal arm. Sure he won't be able to fly and summon lightning but we will get to see his raw strength. This is gonna show us what Thor is really made of and I am pumped.  

Plus this will give more gravity to the new woman Thor because she is no simply replacing Thor, she is simply taking Mjolnir. 

So Thor with out the Hammer. Do you love it do you hate it. Do you want to see a fight between the two. Tell me what you think.

Legend of Korra Season 3 review

Hi guys sorry that I haven't posted anything new in a while but I've been up at my families Cottage and it doesn't have Wifi. But I'm back for one more post before I had back into the wilderness. So lets do this.

So as you all know, I love the Avatar Series. Last Airbender was one of my favourite shows growing up and I have always caught up on new episodes of Legend of Korra. And this is no exception. Legend of Korra season 3 was very well done. It had a great characters, a excellent plot and an interesting plot. But it was not flawless. Now from now this is a SPOILER POST so you have been warned.

The season was very well done when it came to plot. Korra had to fight a rouge version of the White Lotus called the Red Lotus and they where made up of these really powerful benders. There was a lava bender, a crazy waterbender lady with no arms, an evil Airbender and THE DAUGHTER OF FREAKING COMBUSTION MAN!!!!!! And they were awesome. They were evil yet they seemed relate able. The only problem is that we never learned how they came together or what there crimes are. It would have been nice to have an episode where we learned there past and when the decided to join up. There was this main bad guy Zahear I think he was called. And he became an airbender when a ton of other people became airbenders. But that got me wondering "was he a different bender before? Did aang take away his bending? why did he know so much about Airbender culture?".

Now it wasn't just the villains that had some problems. The heroes also had some flaws. As we all know Lin Beifong is the Batman of Republic City but in this she was made out to be a total jerk. And I feel like that just stomped on all of the character development she had in season 1. Also Bolin. Now I love Bolin, his great, his funny, his smart and he reminds me of Sokka. But the problem with Bolin is that he had never really been given a moment to step up to the plate like Sokka did. Sokka would joke around and have a gag but when stuff got real he would bust out the sword and be awesome. Bolin just seems to joke around and that's it.

But aside from those minor complaints I loved this season. It had a great plot and it had great twists and a great ending. It was defiantly better then season 2 and I can't wait for season 4.

So Legend of Korra season 3 did you watch it, did you love it, did you hate it, did you even watch it. Tell me what you think.

Death of Wolverine

Firstly I would like to apologies for not posting as much as I did. I have summer stuff to do and I don't always bring my laptop with me as very few of the places I go to have Wi-Fi so I am sorry. But let us not dwell of the past and focus on this somewhat older news.

So with the slew of new changes marvel is pumping out they also decided to play around with Wolverine. It was announced that Wolverine had 3 MONTHS TO DIE!!!!! (duh duh duh)

 

Personally I didn't pay this much attention. I mean it said that Wolvey had 3 months to die. But now his months are up and Wolverine is hitting the hay. I am not to fazed by this. Important comic book characters die all the time.

Superman died fighting doomsday but he came back.
Captain America died in Civil War and came back as Captain Steve Rogers.
Batman was killed by Darkseid and came back after a year.
Spider-man was killed during Superior Spider-man and you guessed it came right back.

They come back because they need to. Because people buy comics so they can read more about there favourite characters.

So as we know Comic book death means nothing in the 616 universe. And I have now doubt that Wolverine will "claw" is way out of death soon. (Oh man I'm sorry for that claw pun). But I want to see what they do with this death. How much of the Marvel Universe will be hurt because of this. Wolverine has probably been on every marvel team there is. So I what to see who's going to show up at the funeral. I know will see the Avengers and X-men but what about Cyclops? Will Scott show up to mourn his old friend and partner? And how will people mourn him. I am not going to lie I do want to see Logan get a James Howlett School for Higher Learning out of this.

I also want to see how long he is going to be dead. Will the outrage and demands of fans resurrect him within the year? Or are the writers at Marvel going to savoir their time and see how long they can hold out.

But there is one thing that needs to happen. This death needs to matter! Now with the drama and sophistication of  modern comics death is starting to become rather meaningless. So there needs to be real change that comes out of this. And it can't be glossed over, this needs to stay with Wolverine for a long time. Because if they don't it's just going to be dumb and forgettable and it'll make you wonder why people decided to even kill him off in the first place.

So the Death of Wolverine what are your thoughts on it? What do think was the best written comic book death and what do you think was the worst?
#Illuminati 

Deadpool Footage

So I'm not sure if you've seen this, BUT I HAVE!!!!!!!

So this footage was leaked online and it was awesome. You have a CGI Deadpool being voiced by Ryan Reynolds and it was totally Deadpool. He was wish cracking, breaking the forth wall while he was decapitating people while a car is spinning through the streets. And really all this footage did was remind people how awesome a Deadpool movie would be and how stupid movie company's are for not making it.

I mean Deadpool is the best he just says what he wants and people have to deal with it, because you cannot kill this guy. This movie would be pretty great. It would have a beloved comic book character, making insanely funny jokes and talking to the audience with all of the the insane action of a action movie.

Plus let's face it Ryan needs this. Green Lantern then R.I.P.D, he needs this.

So the Deapool footage we're you lucky enough to see it. Did you hate it, love it? And what comic book character would you like to see made into a movie.

  

Batman v Superman Costumes

Ok so after a great deal of time DC has finally released all of the images for Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Lets take a peak.

Superman

  

So I have said this more then once. Batman v Superman has taken a bit more then a hint from the Dark Knight Returns and this is no exception. The overall costume has not changed but you can see that Clark is keeping his hair in check to have more of that boy scout look. 

Wonder Woman 

  

I was a little disappointed in this costume. With Wonder Woman you there are to different ways she can turn out. A Warrior or a Model. And it looks like the costume is leaning more toward the model version. I was hoping for a little more armour for this, maybe a gauntlet or arm brace. But I do like how they are keeping true to the wonder woman costume design. And I don't like lack of shield and I think the sword looks rather dumb. It looks like a plaything, they should have given her a Greek short sword. 

Batman 

He's BATMAN!!!!!!!!

This is an excellent costume from the Dark Knight Returns symbol to the small ear design on the cowl. The cape had enough drop to it to cover batman but it's not frilly enough to be like Superman's cape. Love the costume but still worried about Ben's acting chops for the role. But he looks the part. 

So what do you think?

Marvels New Changes

So as we all know comics need to keep things interesting and Marvel has turned a great many heads with these 3 new announcements let us complain.

 Sam Wilson is Captain America

In the latest issue of Captain America Steve Rogers has been drained of his super soldier serum and is small once more. So in order for the world to still have hope he paces the mantle of Captain America along to his trusted friend Sam Wilson. Personally I like this change, adds more to Sam Wilson's character and it would be cool to see him meet the demands of being Captain America. Also think this is good because Sam has been spending to much time in the "sidekick" role and being made Captain America would allow him to stand alone, by himself and man up. But I  am said to say that this won't last. I think I know how his run a Cap is going to go. 

1. He'll get the shield 
2. Question himself
3. The public won't like him 
4. Lose his first fight with the villain 
5. Get a pep talk from skinny Steve Rogers
6. Defeat the villain 

And then Steve will take up the mantle of Cap once more in a year or two. However I am hoping for this and I hope Wilson is a good Cap.

Thor is a Woman 

   

Now I don't like this. There is nothing wrong with Thor being a woman but I think there doing this for the wrong reasons. Obliviously marvel is doing this to try and create a strong Female leading character with the power to back it up. But giving Mjolnir to a random woman I am against. I know she is going to be worthy of wielding it but it's unnecessary. Marvel all ready has a slew of strong female characters that could easily promote gender equality. Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Maria Hill they would all do but they shoehorn a female Thor in. And the worst part about this is the fact that it won't matter, the original Thor will just come back and make all of this obsolete. This female Thor won't have her own legacy it will just be defined and then become part of the real Thor's. Marvel should focus on cementing the changes that they have already made instead of just making new ones. I really think they need to work harder on making sure that Miss Marvel becomes Captain Marvel because when ever I think of her I think of her as Miss Marvel. And I also hate how writers just reuse the same old Thor stories over and over. 

1. Hidden evil 
2. Frost giants 
3. long lost siblings 
4. LOKI!!!!!

Superior Iron Man

  

Oh man this I am enjoying. The last time we saw a Super hero barring the title Superior was when Otto had taken over Spider-Man's body. And I that alot of people hated it because is tarnished good ol spidy. But lets look at what it also did. It made Spider-man comics popular again. Unless your a die hard Spider-man fan you would never keep buying all of the Amazing spider man issues "I mean its spider man nothing bad's gonna happen to him" you said. But then he was dead so now we needed to know everything Otto was up to and hope beyond hope that he would be the Spider-man we wanted. Despite the fact he wasn't. And I am cautiously exited about how they are going to put that spin on Iron man. But I my not like it and that could be the point. 

So Marvel's big changes did you like them all, hate them all, do you even care? Tell me what you think. And how would you do character change.

Big Hero Six Trailer

Alright so as part of the Disney Marvel alliance we have seen a army of Super-hero movies. And with no doubt we will be seeing a great many more. But in a gutsy move at trying to convert more people to the grand empire of Disney has started to make an animated movie.

The movie is about a small team that marvel never really had success with called Big Hero 6. The team is made up of several Asian members and there base is in San Fransokeyo. I won't go into the members because I don't know them, but I do know I liked the trailer. It was a very funny, upbeat Disney movie trailer. And I think that this new form of making some superhero movies for younger kids are a good idea. One it means that they might look at some of the more violent movies when they get older and two it would give them more material to work with when making movies.

I have nothing but high hope for this film and I can't wait to see it. But I am tempted to know what you think about it.

NERF GUNS!!!!!

NERF GUNS!!!!!!!

AHHAHHHHHHHHHHH

Yah I like Nerf guns. I don't know there just fun. When I'm bored all I have to do is shoot a bullet at my brother and we have like 3 hours of fun ahead of us. Also when you have a group of friends over for a huge Nerf War that's just awesome. 

But I also noticed that people tend to choose a fighting style when it comes to Nerf guns. They either load up on the huge gun and try to mow you down. Or they take a bunch of small and never seem to run out of those really annoying small pistols (you know what I'm talking about). Or they fight like a soldier with a big gun then a small arm........or a Captain America shield they made out of card bored. 

So what kind how many Nerf Guns do you have? Whats the biggest Nerf war you've been in? And what kind of Nerf fighter are you?  

Underrated comic characters

OK guys so this post is all about Underrated Comic Characters. You know those characters that are pretty awesome but just done't just get the attention that they deserved. Now this isn't involving statistics or polls it's just characters that feel are cool but don't get recognized for it.

Marvel Ares 

 

How many have seen this guy? Not many I presume. Ares joined the comic roster during the Civil War event. He was part of Tony Stark's Mighty Avengers and was major part of Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers. I liked the guy. He was gruff and tough like wolverine but he also had a godly personality like Thor. But unlike Thor, Ares wasn't righteous Thor was all about the glory of battle while Ares saw it as a job to get done. He was a warrior seasoned and bloody so it was that form of a darker god that I thought was really cool. Thor is really the only god among men when it comes to comics so to see this gruff warrior stand with the Avengers and fight the good fight (I also feel bad for the guy since everyone prays to Athena for luck in battle when Ares is the GOD OF WAR. But sadly Ares had a downfall. After Ares joined the Dark Avengers he started to be used as a tool and wasn't to bright when it came to picking his fights. So the God of war found himself ripped in half by the Sentry during the Siege of Asgard. Lets hope War comes once more. 

Captain Atom

More of you will know this guy. Captain Atom was a very early super hero but has not enjoyed the spotlight as much. I manly got interested in him during the New 52 when he became more of a Doctor Manhattan. One thing I always like about heroes working with the Military is when they questioned themselves. When they have to choose to wipe out a village or save it. Also I think that captain atom should always be considered a deterrent when it comes to dealing with Superman. They've had some pretty awesome beat downs. 

Blue Marvel

 

Now there is one problem in comics that has troubled them for generations. Superman is White!!!! And with the growing need for diversity in comics a great many black characters have been made. But Blue Marvel stands out to me. A lot of times in comics a character is made black just for the sake of making them black. And maybe Blue Marvel was for the same case. But they also touched on it. The Blue Marvel Miniseries told the tragic tale about how a man with great power and a strong moral compass was forced to hang up the cape simply because of his race. And that showed how the dark and unfair the world really can be. It's not enough for a character simple to be black they have to be fleshed out and made real. With a personality of there own and something other then their skin colour to make them unique. But sadly the writers at marvel have not made the push to make Blue Marvel a important characters. I mean you could easily take out Hyperion who is just a rip off superman and Nightmask who was made black for diversity sack. It's time for Blue Marvel to be in the spotlight. Give the man in Blue his due (ha I made a rhyme)

Simon Baz

      

Now to be honest I don't like this guy. He kind of just showed up and then they forgot about him. I read his back story and it was awesome it was much darker then all the others. Baz was fearless because he had to be in order to survive and pull of the these car robberies. Then they gave him a ring and he was off...........for about three comics. I don't even know what DC is doing with him right now. But there needs to be more for this guy.  More MORE!!!!! MORE!!!!!

Beta Ray Bill

 

This guy is cool. Bill showed up in a Thor comic awhile back. When his people were under attack from demons they left their planet in stasis pods. And out of the whole race Bill was chosen to guard them. He was outfitted with technology and weapons to become the greatest achievement of his people. But one day Thor found his ship and like most people amused that the horse faced cyborg was evil. But it turns out that bill was a righteous warrior capable of lifting the mighty Mjolnir. And after helping Thor battle the demons that attacked him Bill was awarded his own magic hammer, Storm Breaker! And then he was gone. Never once did he appear in any other comic or join any super hero team, he was gone. Which stinks because bill showed us that it doesn't matter what you look like, if you fight the good fight people will respect you. Currently Bill is fighting with the Annihilators but I want to see him on Guardians of the Galaxy. There he could become fleshed out and bring a little nobility to the flawed Guardians. Plus he would add some much needed muscle to the team (sorry Groot) 

Aquaman 

     

YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT DC!! MAKE IT! MAKE THE GOSH DARN AQUAMAN MOVIE!!!!

So there you have it. A list of underrated comic characters. Do you think I missed anybody? Who do you think is unappreciated and what would you like to see in an Aquaman movie?
