13 REASONS WHY 2: FIRST IMPRESSION


The controversial Netflix show has arrived with another season and I can only say it has only gotten more crazy. As a huge fan of season one, I was initially super hyped with the announcement of season 2 because a lot of things were set up in the finale and a couple of the last few episodes show that the tapes were just “Hannah Baker’s side of the story”. It has been four months since the events of season one and everybody from the tapes as well as those not on it have been seriously affected and it reflects on how they now behave.

A lot of things have changed,Alex tried to kill himself and the bullet just barely missed it’s mark leaving him with mild amnesia.Tyler the photography nerd starts up the confessions and it turns out he starts the whole viewing Hannah from a different perspective, Alex’s girlfriend(can’t remember her name) is also facing issues of her own,she is trying to get back into her school life which includes cheerleader but it’s really difficult because people know how her and the others decisions made Hannah kill herself and It turns out Tony who gave Clay the tape, might not be such a good guy after all.

Fast forward to last week,I saw the trailer and from the trailer I realized that they might actually draw out the perspectives of the people Hannah mentioned in her tapes and that got me bummed out you know,I thought their perspectives would be like a first episode thing and everything else would be the aftermath of the court trial but man was I so freaking WRONG!. it isn’t like the confessions of the people from tapes are the majority of the episodes,as a matter of fact they only last ten to fifteen minutes but I personally feel like they just cover for obvious lack of ideas but I could end up being very wrong and if I am I will make sure I do not tell you guys!.


Its the exact opposite of that, I have seen three episodes so far and am already bored. Not bored in the sense that it is entertaining or eye catching but rather bored that they’re literally just showing Hannah as a crazy(which is debatable) who hid certain truths from her tapes and had a lot of dark secrets no one else knew about. To summarize it they’re deconstructing Hannah’s character…..from “VICTIM/PROSECUTOR” to “DEFENDANT” and that so far feels like lazy writing. I am not giving it a verdict because I just started and things could change in terms of pacing and story telling if I give it a couple of more episodes.


Talking more about the new season,I am very glad Hannah is back on the show I know she shouldn’t be because of the fact that she’s dead and all but let’s just say I have a massive crush on her(not as massive as Clay’s though)and am always biased when it comes to her especially when having discussions with my friends about her controversial choice to end her own life.

She comes back as the unshakable figment of Clay’s imagination four months after trying to forget about her,she appears at awkward moments such as him trying to have intimacy with his new found girlfriend Skye. She also appears in the other character’s telling of their stories in form of flashbacks which is pretty much the only way of including her on the show after season 1. Sadly Clay seeing her proves he has mental issues and I believe as I progress the later episodes will shed more light on this and make us understand.


 Clay from the beginning of this new season tries to hide the fact that he still hasn’t gotten over Hannah’s death and his coping mechanism to that has been Skye. He cares deeply for her and even loves her but it is not nearly as close to what he felt for Hannah and Skye realises that and it breaks her heart and makes her feel insecure. She can’t help but feel jealous of a dead girl and things get worse for her relationship with Clay when he starts seeing Hannah pop up abruptly.  So that will probably Clay's arc for this season he has to struggle to know what is real and what isn't.


l INTERMISSION
 To those who check my blog out frequently,I apologize again for not posting frequently, I will try to be better and post more,at the moment am working on a deadpool discussion as well as my new opinion on Boku no Hero,the anime I once hated.


     SUMMARY
From what I have seen,this season is more mature,and character driven. You can tell it’s bigger and that is due to the response it got from viewers,they have increased their scales and production budget(I assume). in summary it is still quality TV but so far it lacks pacing and focus just three episodes in,hopefully things get better because it’d be sad to see such a talented cast wasted by poor direction.

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Written By
Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......

STRANGER THINGS 2

Written By
   A lot of movies and shows are set in the past these days but in my own opinion, none of them really do it like STRANGER THINGS. If you remove the acting,the amazing plot,and chemistry, what you're left with is these show that has a very '80s feel because of the overall sound from the show and visuals.      Season 2 is a blast and it simply perfected the formula season 1 set which is, simple plot,great characters,good chemistry and amazing(classic)music. My face everytime Dustin jokes       The Season starts a year after and all our characters are basically trying to settle on after the ending of the first season. Mike's still trying to communicate with Eleven, Will is bullied in school, he's called "zombie boy", Lucas is well still Lucas and Dustin has teeth now,"Prrrr"(you'll get the joke soon enough)       I'll try not to be very spoiler-y so let's start up!!!. •MAX AND BILLY     The dick The new...

IT(2017):Lazy Review

Written By
  I've been stuck thinking about what to post and I got nothing. But I remembered that I watched "IT" late December and I wasn't scared surprisingly. I mean,they were a couple of jump scares but overall nothing really scared me. It was a fun movie though and I see why it got a sequel announced and universal praise. It's based of the first chapter of the Stephen King novel of the same name and I have read a couple of pages from  the book but I haven't finished it because I'm lazy and I procrastinate a lot(I haven't still finished reading a song of ice and fire).   Set in the '90-somethings(I'm lazy don't eat me) in a town of something,something(I know,you're disappointed) a series of kids get missing and the adults of the town act like nothing's happening. Bill Denbrough(that's right,I remembered his name) looses his brother as well. Billy and other kids in the town(including his friends) start to see th...
