Mr Robot: Freakishly Engaging


 So I know a lot of people might not relate to this but am still  going to ask,have you ever heard much hype about a particular show and then when you watched it you didn't really enjoy it or you totally hated it?...well that's how I felt when I first watched Mr Robot. That was a time when it was still in it's debut season and it had so much praise,I wasn't just moved enough to get past the first episode...until recently.

  I still haven't finished the first season because of school but boy oh boy! The show is truly,truly brilliant. I don't know if I was dumb or wasn't paying attention back then because everything is just so well written and engaging.

 The main character Elliot is genius,witty,and twisted computer engineer and programmer who happens to be in a very twisted mental state of mind. He narrates the show from his point of view so all the exposition is done by him.

Sometimes you have to question if anything he's doing is real because right from the get go he renames the biggest corporation from "E Corp" to "Evil Corp" and that is what everyone begins to call it. I can best describe him as the toned down satire version of deadpool.

 Seeing how he sees the world alone is just so engaging and cool. But that's not the only thing that drew my attention to this really dope show...it was the characters. Why I like this very much is because you never feel the need to label someone even if you know their role.

For instance,from the get go you know the main antagonist but no matter all the fucked up things he has done,you are more interested in understanding why he does all he does rather than saying "I hate him,he's so bad!".It's never a battle of good vs evil rather it's more of a Determined Vs Strong Willed.

 The people who Elliot align with are a bunch of rebel hackers trying to bring down evil corp. It's the noble thing to do because of what they stand for but still its not like the hackers are any better...I mean their leader Mr Robot is very manipulative and twisted from what I've seen. I'll make sure to make more blog posts about this show because it is one I love very much.

 The literal programming metaphors Elliot uses during his narrations are not only very clever, but they add more to each episode and gives each ending much payoff.

 So if you have time and don't know what to watch I recommend Mr Robot because it's a smart,tense and unpredictable show that sheds light on a lot of things like mental issues,real life corporations, programming, human beings and many more things. Before you say a lot of shows do this too,I want you to know that Mr Robot does it differently so pleaaase,see it(and if you find it kind of boring, try to keep watching)!.

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...

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...

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......

Enjoying music (on your own)

Written By
Music is not for the English or French,  or Italian, or anyone at all.  Music is the simple or complex cluster of sounds that sound pleasing, acceptable to the ear. Needless say, almost every person appreciates good music and some have mistaken this appreciation as an avenue to create something. Some succeed at it, and others - a whole bunch - don't. Music isn't just something you create on a whim, unless you're Labrinth 🐐 Seriously, creating music is difficult, complex and very stressful. But there's an easier part and it's called LISTENING - not like Wizkid FC and Tiwa Savage's gladiators sha.  People oft imagine music to be "better" when the speakers are going like the drums of judgement day and uhh... no. Don't do that. Music inflated by volume is noise. [Unless it's metal, then KPK👍] There are 5 simple ways to enjoy music when step 0 - good speakers/headphones - is achieved. - First, music is best enjoyed in a peaceful environment, not a...
