DOOM PATROL

   The second DC Universe Live Action show; Doom Patrol just premiered and I must say, it was a really interesting watch.
Following the lives of the Doom Patrol, a team of very strange heroes who we first encounter during an episode of Titans, the show sheds more light on how they came to be the "freaks" that they are now through a brilliant narrator who ties into the episode and beautiful acting from every member of the cast.
  If you saw them in Titans, you might have been pissed off by the actor who played Chief there. I thought he was horrible and the show recast him with a much better and intense actor who carries each scene he's in. With just the first episode, I was very impressed by how funny, serious and emotional it was. Unlike the show before it, Doom Patrol managed to start off on a high note with so many possibilities, it actually manage to do the whole team dynamic better than the Titan show.  I could actually feel the bond amongst each member of the team unlike Titans which was about building the team's relationship.
  After seeing the first episode, I think what made me enjoy it the most was how they made all the members of the Doom Patrol easy to sympathize with.  Cliff A.K.A Robot Man remains to be my favorite of the bunch, even in his metal body, he has the biggest heart.  The first episode showed how he wasn't the best guy and showed his flaws in a hilarious yet touching way which made me love his character the way I loved Alphonso from the Full Metal Alchemist anime. The new member of the team Lazy Jane has 64 personalities and each one of them has their own unique power. Unfortunately Cyborg hasn't showed up yet so there's that and, I feel like how Titans went, it'll take a while before Cyborg shows up.
   Honestly, there's a lot of possibilities with this show because, the premise is about a bunch of outsiders coming together.  That alone means pretty much any super powered hero or villain can show up on the show at this point and, I'm also very curious as to what they do with Cyborg because, based on the usual canon, Cyborg's dad uses the motherbox to bring him back and am not sure The Chief(guy who helps them) has access to a motherbox so let's see how they tackle his origin story.
The characters are fun, the premise is so different yet it manages to stay grounded in reality and manage to be very emotional because of how interesting and relatable the characters are. The show is serious yet not too serious,funny and heartwarming, contains one of the best cinematography in a superhero show. It contains flashy scenes with cgi that looks very believable so, stop whatever you're doing and go watch DC's Doom Patrol right now!

First Listen: Hamond - Pirate Radio

  since i heard  windows , i have been sloppy on Hamond.  Pirate Radio  is almost everything i imagine indie pop to be. it's glittery, experimental, vocal, and hard work. half the time, i don't even understand his poetry but it sounds so  damn good . the other half explores experiences of failed/failing relationships, problematic partners, and misplaced gaiety. storytelling like this always gets me into a frenzy, especially with fitting production.  the unconventional mix and production sets this art piece aside from the rest within its genre. especially the drums. nothing clichĂ© with his lyrics or style of music. just pure, honest music that makes me bust some ass to his misfortune. 😀 mehn, it is definitely one of the better listens from 2022. give it a spin?

Why I Love: One Piece

      Last year was quite a hard time for me, it was my final year at the university and for what  felt like the first time in my life, I was truly struggling with school. Not the “oh I’m scared I might not do well” but I was genuinely doing bad. This wasn’t because I wasn’t reading or not putting in the work, it was just because I was given a terrible lecturer as a supervisor. I used to think I had a good relationship with him but during the course of the second semester I began to see a shift in his personality and obvious hate towards me. As someone who struggles with insecurities, I was constantly insulted and ridiculed for no real reasons and even though I knew what he said about me wasn’t true,  I was still hurt. Hurt not just because of how he made me feel bad but hurt because the idea of failing and disappointing my parents and family in general was killing me on the inside and I had no means to express how trapped I felt. You’re probably wondering, “Why...

The Originals: No Always And Forever

   The Spinoff of the vampire diaries has finally ended and after spending 5 years of my life watching it I can only use one sentence to summarize how I felt after seeing it "what the fuck did I just watch"?.                           * MILD  SPOILERS AHEAD* Now,this season has a whole has been bad like...more bad than season 4 but I was like "I'll manage,it's the final season,I need to just be patient with them". I should have opted out long ago,I honestly don't know why Julie Plec(the show runner) is so inconsistent with the universe and bad at ending things. I gave her a pass for shitty The Vampire Diaries ending but this one just vexes me so much.    How can you hunt us with the "always and  forever" quote since the vampire diaries and not let us see it happen. I mean ...what was the point of everything?. I never liked Hayley but when they killed her earlier this season,par...

Ant-man and The Wasp(2018)

  For me,one of the MCU films that stands out and is genuinely funny is the first Ant-man. So when I heard about the sequel I was happy,Ant-man didn't try to be a masterpiece or anything it was just a relatable superhero movie that had very cool characters and a wannabe Obadiah Stane villain.   I like checking out reviews of movies before I see them and also like getting in depth analysis from my favorite youtubers like Jeremy Jahns just so I can have an idea of what am going into. And so from what reviewers were saying it seemed like this was a bad movie and that it was pointless one YouTube reviewer who I love even went on to sat Michelle Pfeiffer was confused and didn't know what she was doing in the damn film. Fast forward to me seeing the film,I finally got to make an opinion of my own and kind of see where some reasonable people were coming from. I mean there's a lot of confusing stuff here that doesn't hold up with the continuity such as Ghost's b...
