Fate of Dick Grayson

Ok guys if you haven't heard DC has just announced the fate of Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. Since the creators at DC didn't cash in on the fortune of the Court of Owls aspect of Nightwing, they decided that he should become a damsel in distress for Forever Evil. They had him captured and placed in something called "the Murder Machine". Now it is known that Nightwing shall fake his death and become a spy.

Now lets talk about this. I'll start with how DC has been treating in Forever Evil. I personally didn't like how at the start of the event Nightwing was instantly taken off the table. Nightwing had a lot of potential to be a major player in this event. Now I had two separate post about Nightwing and how he should have formed his own reserve justice league. Like wouldn't like be cool if DC have the fate of the universe rest on Nightwing. He is the next Batman and it would be awesome to see the comics address that. If the event focused around Nightwing and the heroes that aren't the "big guns". They would be fighting a losing battle and soon they would have to make alliances such as Lex Luthor and his gang. I will make a another post about that soon.

Now let's talk about this sent in stone fate. I like the concept of  having Dick Grayson as a spy because it would be cool to see Dick Grayson do the darker things that you never expected he would. Also if he is working for the Government then it would be cool to see him team up Steve Trevors. But I just wish that DC  wasn't always forcing it's character to go back on what they symbolise. Nightwing was spared from the darkness that consumed Bruce Wayne (Though Awesome) and now he is going to be running around shooting people in the face. (We already have Jason Todd doing that)

So the fate of Nightwing, do you love it do you hate it and what do you think about the new Canadian Justice League?

Skyrim

Ok Guys I few days ago I was given a copy of the game skyrim. And I loved it. This game is amazing. I won't bore you with the controls or the learning curves because you learn when you get the game. The most amazing thing I found about the game was the sheer size of it. It is truly massive. You can go any where and do anything. You can be a brute with massive broadswords, or an assassin with knives, you could be a wizard and shoot fire out of your fingertips. It is just so awesome. My favourite part of the game is the world. They have such great names and such a well developed history. I was playing and I saw a book called brief history of the Empire. I read that whole thing and it turned out it was the fourth instalment of a series. You could spend your whole life playing it and still not know everything there is in this game. Just play the game, just play this awesome game.

The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey and Desolation of Smaug Review

Alright guys. After the Lord of the Rings movie Trilogy ended we all had a little gap in our soul. Now Peter Jackson has decided to fill that void with his new movie trilogy. The Hobbit. Now First off lets talk about the fact that they are converting one book into three movies. I don't think there needs to be three. I say at max there should have been two. One about the journey to the lonely mountain and one about the death of Smaug and the battle of 5 armies. 3 movies is just seems to be stretching it and just gives off this sort of desperation vibe.

Unexpected Journey
The first movie was very good. I was exited for it. We get to return to middle earth with all it's hobbits and elves and pure awesome wizards named Gandalf. And the movie was staring Dwarves!!. Dwarves are my favourite species in Tolkien universe. My one complaint about the LotRs (Lord of the Rings) trilogy was the fact that there was only one Dwarf. Dwarves are awesome, there not just greedy little cave people. I know that the LotR was manly about men but we got to see one Elf Army so there should have been a little more Dwarves. But now we get to have a whole movie about the mighty Dwarves. The movie itself is decent. You get to meet Bilbo, Bilbos a hobbit and we loves our hobbitses. And now the company of 13 Dwarves recruits Bilbo on there quest to reclaim a homeland and slay a dragon. Also there is Gandalf and he is going on his own quest to uncover a evil that is hiding in the shadows. The only real difference is that the camera style is brighter and crisper then the lord of the rings, so it doesn't have the same grit and grim. All in all a very good watch.
 Desolation of Smaug 
This sequel is a interesting watch. We still are on are quest with the Dwarves and Bilbo but now they have finally reached the Lonely Mountain and will battle Smaug. First off let he just say that Smaug is awesome. He is every thing a villain needs to and more, plus he is massive and looks like he would slaughter and burn everything in sight. The plot in the movie is very well paced. We spend a decent amount of time in every location and you get to see the difference in all of the people and places. And still there is Gandalf being awesome and fighting anyone dumb enough. Now being someone who has read the book I can tell that they changed alot. The necromancer was so prominent, there was no pack of orcs following the dwarves, and there was no Azog the defiler or Legolas. But I do like the changes, they add a more of a global feeling to it. My only problem with  is movie is the action. The LotR really made there heroes look mortal, you felt the force behind a blow and saw the strength it took to swing the sword. But in the hobbit it is starting to dance on the side of unrealism. Legolas had like three moments were he took down a whole squad of orcs and it started to get annoying. Also there just to many moments that I just can't see in the lord of the rings. People would flying but just manage to grab a robe, they would jump down a 50 foot chasm and survive, if it was more realistic the company would be dead 13 times over. I just sort of miss the grit from LotR. This movie is way lighter then the old ones.

So the hobbit, do you love it, do you hate it, have you even seen it. Tell me what you think of the first two films and what you hope for in the second and also.......who is your favourite dwarf? (Not gimli don't cheat) #Illuminati

Divergent Review

Alright so this is the  movie slash/book series that girls have been fangirling about. The movie itself isn't bad it has a cool setting. There are five factions and all of them favour one thing, Selflessness, Bravery, Knowledge, Truth and kindness. And each person takes a test to decide which faction they will go in. But one girl Tris, when she takes the test she doesn't get one faction, she is something called Divergent and she is trying to hind it from anyone who is afraid of divergents.

The movie was pretty good, I didn't see anything that made hate it. But it also was predictable. I could see what was going to happen and why. So I will give the this a decent review. About 3 out of 5 stars.

So divergent have you seen the movie, have you read the books what did you think of the both?
