Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

My Once Upon A Time Review

So I saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and heres my review of it..... I love it! It was such a great film well acted, well shot, Quentin Tarantino does it again. Now this isn't my favourite Tarantino film my favourite is Django Unchained but this film was great and funny too. There were some intense moments in this film but it's actually really funny and the cast all do a great job in this film. Leo was great, Margot was beautiful and amazing, Brad Pitt nailed it, and everyone else was great and this film was also Luke Perry's final film so I give him credit for his final role.

I give this film a 9 out of 10 and a solid A.

After this movie you will crave Pizza and Beer.

What I want to see in Marvel What If tv series

(Google Image)

Hey everyone with last weekend announcement of Marvel Studios upcoming animated tv series WHAT IF. Here are the what if I want to see them address in the series, now one of them is going to be what if Peggy Carter became Captain America instead of Steve Rogers. Now here are the what if's I want to see on the show. 

Heres the What If's I want to see on this show.

1. What If Tony Stark gave his suits to the government in Iron Man 2? 

Now we all know Hydra was in control in the government so it's likely Hydra would have used to the suits to conquer the world. Also it's likely the Avengers would have been killed by Hydra's Iron suits so yeah it would end a sad note. 

2. What if Captain America recruited Spiderman in Civil War? 

This is interesting idea let's say Sam recruited Peter Parker to Cap's side instead of Ant Man and this would also mean Ant Man would have likely either join Iron Man's side or not been part of the event. I think with Spidey if he join Cap's side like Tony he would have looked up to Steve as role model but sadly he would have gone to jail and the whole world would have known he was Spiderman and like Scott in Ant Man and Wasp he would been watch carefully by the government. 

3. What if Kilmonger was brought back to Wakanda after his father was murder?

I think the show is going to make this a what if possibly because some of the cast of Black Panther are in it so yeah. Like what would have happen T'Chaka brought Erik with to Wakanda? He would have been a good guy?  would him and T'Challa be be like brothers? or he would still plot to take the throne from T'Challa? It's an interesting idea about this if T'Chaka took his nephew to Wakanda after he killed his father.

4. What if Hope became Ant Woman instead of Scott?

Now this one is pretty simple lets Hank told Scott to get out and never come back and he passes the ant man title to Hope instead. That also means she never becomes the Wasp but what Hope have done as Ant Woman?

5. What if Quicksilver had survived instead of Scarlet Witch?

Now we all know what a waste Quicksilver was in Age of Ultron but I got to think what if he survived like let's say Wanda died instead of him. It's likely he would have join the Avengers full time and unlike his sister he would not have caused the death innocent people by mistake in the opening in Civil War. If Civil War still happen he would have join Cap's side or he maybe would he have joined Tony's side?

6. What if Bucky became Captain America instead of Steve Rogers?

(Google Image)

Now we have a what if coming out with Peggy Carter and it's basically what if Peggy Carter took the super solider serum instead of Steve Rogers. I do want to see what if Bucky took the solider serum instead of Steve Rogers too like would Bucky have been a good cap or he would have done things much different than Steve did.

7. What if Ultron was Good?

Now this one is pretty simple like what if Ultron was good like we would have help the Avengers? would Vision still exist? or he would have stop Thanos faster the Avengers?

8. What If Iron Man defeated Captain America in Civil War?

Unlike the movie in the comics Iron Man wins the civil war but let's say in the movie what if he defeated Steve Rogers what would have happen. It's likely Tony would have killed Bucky, Steve would be in prison and the whole team would have been divided and it would likely end with Thanos wining with no problem in Infinity War.

9. What if Hawkeye had died instead of Black Widow?

Now this one in Endgame Black Widow and Hawkeye fight over who sacrifice themselves to get the soul stone. Now we all know Black Widow did the sacrifice but what if Clint died instead. Would the outcome in Endgame be different? How Black Widow break the news to his family of his death? Would Black Widow feel great guilt for the rest her life over his death?

10. What if the heroes who turn to ashes after Thanos snap were the ones who survived instead of the ones who lived?

This one I really want the series to tackle, like what if these characters didn't die after Thanos's snap? Would these characters have done the same as the characters from Endgame? Who would be the one who sacrifices themselves to defeat Thanos? or How would have these characters cope with the death of their friends instead?  Really hope Disney does tackle this idea.

11. What if Hulk had stayed on Earth?

Now we all know Hulk left the planet after Age of Ultron but what if he stayed? Would he and Nat be in a relationship? He would he ever see Betty Ross or Ross again? Would he have sided with Iron Man or Captain America during Civil War? This is idea is something we got to see in this show.

12. What if Howard Stark became Iron Man first instead of Tony?

Iron Man Noir if wondering who that is.

Now this what if crazy but let's say Howard Stark got captured by Hydra agents and they forced him to build a weapon for them. Like Tony he builds an Iron Suit and uses to escape Hydra and he then builds more he even joins Cap's Howling Commandos as Iron Man. This would be a very crazy what if storyline were what if Howard was Iron Man instead of Tony? Also in what if Peggy storyline it was revealed that Howard builds an Iron Suit for Steve to fight Hydra with Peggy and Bucky. Now one thing I do see happening is Tony will have Iron Suits already made for him and he would likely had just call them up and he never would have been capture by the Ten Rings.

13. What if Thor was never banished?

Now this one is pretty simple like say Odin didn't banished Thor lets say he punished Thor by locking him away. That also would mean Thor never joins the Avengers and also means Loki would have taken the throne and kill his family.

14. What if Loki got banished instead of Thor?

Now lets Loki was a more caring brother and he took the fall and he got banished instead of Thor. Loki would have met Jane and maybe they would have fallen in love. It would be possible that Loki would have join the Avengers instead of Thor. Thor would have felt great guilt for happen to Loki he would have been working hard to get his brother back to Asgard.


15. What if Steve Rogers became Captain Hydra and Bucky became Captain America and join the Avengers?

 

(Google Image)

Now this is something I know many fans want to see happen but lets instead of Bucky falling to his suppose death instead Steve falls off the train. Steve would have been taken by Hydra they would have done the same thing they did with Bucky thus he would have been Captain Hydra instead of Winter Soldier. Now for Bucky he would take up the mantle of Captain America and let's say one of the solider serum was around Bucky takes it and becomes the new Captain America and like Steve ends up frozen in a block of ice and you know the rest. Now what would happen to them would be Bucky becomes an Avenger? how he would he deal with Steve being now Hydra's most powerful agent? Also would Steve have been able to take down all of SHIELD and The Avengers? Also would Bucky and Natasha get together like they did in the comics? 

16. What if Guardians of the Galaxy became Ravagers instead.

This one is basically what if Peter, Rocket, Gamora, Groot, and Drax decided to join the Ravagers instead of becoming Guardians of the Galaxy instead?

17. What if Captain America had used the Infinity Stones instead of Iron Man?

Now we all know Iron Man was the one who sacrifice his life to kill Thanos but what if Cap did the sacrifice instead of Tony. It's likely Cap would have died or maybe something else would have happen instead?

18. What If Vision had lived?

Now this one is basically let's say Vision never got the stone taken out of him by Thanos. Let's say Thor killed Thanos before he could get to Vision what would happen to Vision would he forever be the wielder of the stone? or would he have Shuri take it out of him?

19. What if Gamora didn't die?

Lets say Gamora escaped Thanos who would Thanos had sacfirced one of his black order friends? or he would have kill Nebula? Also what would have happen to Gamora she be reuited with Peter and the Guardians? or would she kill Thanos for killing Nebula?

20. What if Betty Ross or General Ross were infected with gamma ray instead of Bruce Banner?

 

Now this pretty much like lets Bruce wasn't the one effect gamma ray instead lets Betty got infected she would have turn into Red She Hulk but would she be on the run like Bruce? Would she had join the Avengers? Would she had gone Skarr like Bruce did? Also same thing for Ross what if he became Red Hulk he would have been hunted down? or would he be working the government because he may more control over the hulk? It's also likely he would have fought with Iron Man to take Cap during Civil War.

 

I must say Jeffery Wright is solid casting for the Watcher.

So those are what if I want to see get addressed what What If do you guys want to see get addressed. Let me know?

Batman Live Action TV Series Fan Cast and Ideas

Live Action TV Series Fan Cast and Ideas

Now we know there as been so many adaptions of Batman and I've been thinking even though we're getting a new film series with Robert Pattinson. I've been thinking since Gotham is over maybe it's time that WB actually makes a Batman TV series. Like Batman can work both in movies and tv so why not do a live action tv series like maybe DC Universe streaming service can make us a show, or CW but after that Batwoman show were getting I keep Batman franchise away from that trend. Now a recently heard a rumour that DC Universe is going off the streaming networks. HBO Max is always another solution. 

(Google Image)

I think DC Universe should make a live action Batman Series

I wouldn't go with CW

(Google Image)

I mean don't get me wrong The CW has given us great shows like

Smallvile, Arrow, Flash, and many others but seeing how CW going down

with the whole being more Woke because we all saw that crappy Batwoman trailer.

I cringe when I watched that series.

Now who knows what will happen the last Batman show we got was Gotham which ended this year and we're getting an Alfred prequel series this month. Which should be interesting now I didn't watch Gotham couldn't get into but from what I heard the show is really good. So I was wonder why haven't we gotten a live action Batman Series I mean we've got fantastic animated series from WB well one of them is bad that is Beware the Batman. Truth Batman can work both in film and television.

 

(Google Images)

With the right people we could make something like this in

live action form.

Now first here is my cast for a live action Batman Series and later tell you my ideas for the show. 

Tom Welling as Bruce Wayne/Batman  

Now some of you are thinking Tom Welling? The guy who played Clark Kent from Smallville well Tom Welling has said he wants to play Batman on the CW if they ever interduce the character on the CW. Now if you ask me if they make a Batman TV Series I don't think CW should make it, it should be another studio in WB were they give us a dark gritty tv series with blood and sex. Like Daredevil mixed with True Detective level but I'll talk about that in my ideas later. Now I think Tom could pull it off because he looks like the part for the series Bruce should be older like Robert Pattinson is playing a younger Batman for the film audiences, for tv audiences let's have Batman in his forties and we have Bat family already. Also Tom is 42 he's at that right age to play an older Batman and he looks a great for age too.

Melissa Fumero as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn 99 is who I would cast as Catwoman for this series now I know she's only done comedy but I think she could pull off a good Catwoman. I don't know when Brooklyn 99 will end but if does I think she would be a solid choice for Catwoman. She's also got the looks and I have not seen her act in a serious role before but remember when Michael Keaton was casted as Batman and he did nothing but comedy films and now he is consider to be one of the best Batmen. Catwoman would obviously be one of Batman's love interest but I see the couple breaking up or taking some time off each other.

Peter Capaldi as Alfred Pennyworth

 Everyones favourite butler and I would go with Dr. Who to play him and he's at the right age and this Alfred is older but is still bad ass.

Steven R. McQueen as Dick Grayson/Nightwing

Now Dick would already be Nightwing and him Bruce are still very close, they still have that father son relationship. Dick currently lives in Bludheaven but he would visit Gotham time to time to help Batman out on any cases as well keep Gotham safe if Batman's not around. Dick and Barbara are in current relationship.

Bonnie Wright as Barbara Gordon/Oracle

Now since there is a Batgirl movie in the works and it's likely we will see Batgirl in Robert Pattinson's Batman film series. I think for the show they should make Barbara Gordon, Oracle because back then people liked Barbara as Oracle because she was an inspiration for handicap people. It would be mention that she was Batgirl but you know she was crippled by the Joker. Now she helps Batman through her computer skills and hacking abilities. She's also a mentor to the new Batgirl and that is Stephanie Brown. Barbara and Dick are in a current relationship.

Matthew Daddario as Jason Todd/Red Hood

Jason Todd aka The Red Hood/Second Robin would be in the show and I see him either be a character that is welcome back into the Bat Family but Bruce strongly disagrees with his ideas taking out criminals. Red Hood would be more of anti hero in this show and maybe they could do the under the red hood storyline or they already had that and Jason has since then been welcome back but he still kills criminals.

Graham Phillips as Tim Drake/Red Robin

Tim Drake the third Robin who is now Red Robin is the smartest out of all the robins and the better skilled deactivate. Tim is not sidekick on the show like the past three he's on his own but he still a close relationship to Batman, he sees as a father figure in his life. Tim's parents are still alive but are under witness protection. 

Levi Miller as Damian Wayne/Robin

Bruce and Talia Al Ghul's son and this version he's older and still is Robin. He hopes one day to take up the mantle of Batman. Damian gets along great with Dick Grayson, he respects Jason's view on the war against crime but still believes in his father's views, however him and Tim don't get along at all they both can't stand each other.

AnnaSophia Robb as Stephanie Brown/Batgirl

Now Stephanie Brown is in the show but she's not Spoiler I think the films will give us Spoiler but this series she's the new Batgirl. Barbara is her mentor who trained her to be the next Batgirl she was Spoiler but give up the mantle to become Batgirl. She's also in a relationship with Tim Drake too.

Jin Jil Hee as Cassandra Cain/Orphan

 Cassandra Cain is set to appear in the Birds of Preys movie next year but this version more younger but she's more violent towards criminals as she was trained to be an assassin. Now Cassandra doesn't talk that much like the comics but she does mostly sign language instead of talking. Bruce took her under his wing and has since manage to get her not to kill anyone.

Caleb McLaughlin as Duke Thomas/The Signal

Duke Thomas is a new character in the Bat family I feel like this a character that should be interduce in an either film or tv. Duke would also be the first sidekick to Batman that doesn't mantle of Robin but makes own name instead and chooses Signal after the Bat Signal. Duke grew up on the streets for his parents he was placed in the foster care system but he didn't want it. Eventually Bruce takes him as a ward and he learns who Batman is and Duke has always looked up to Batman. Duke becomes one of Batman's new sidekicks to help fight crime and find his parents.

Sophia Lillis as Harper Roe/Bluebird

Harper is really good at electrical engineers, she lives with her brother and a deadbeat dad in rough area in Gotham. Harper takes the name the Bluebird and agrees to help to help Batman fight crime.

Jordan Calloway as Luke Fox/Batwing

Luke Fox is Lucius's son who takes up the code name Batwing and like Barbara fights with Batman. First season Luke doesn't become Batwing till the end at first he is a kick boxer champion who then retires to work with his dad after his mom dies. Luke knows Bruce is Batman and by the end of the first season Lucius gives his a suit of armour that he calls project Batwing.

Camila Mendes as Helena Berinelli/Huntresses

Huntress would be in the show and works for Batman at one point in the series she and Dick were in a relationship but have since been broken up but still work together. She works with Barbara most of time and is best friends with the current Batgirl Stephanie.   

Evan Rachel Wood as Kate Kane/Batwoman

I'm not a fan of that Batwoman show coming out and this a different version thats more faithful to the comic book counter part. I think Kate Kane needs a better adaption now I understand the show isn't out yet so I can't criticize it until its out. Its just that show doesn't look good to me because it's pandering to PC culture and SJW pandering thats all. I'm not the only one all Batman fans and even some Batwoman fans don't like it. So if fails I think they should make a Batman live action show and get Kate Kane done right.

Alfie Allen as Jean Paul Valley/Azrael

 A religious nut case you took over for Batman once but he got too crazy later on. Afterward he redeem himself and became a hero.

Ernie Hudson as Lucius Fox

Lucius Fox would be in the show who helps designs all of Batman suits and gadgets. He even builds the Batwing suit for his son to fight crime with Bruce.

David Wenham as Commissioner James Gordon

Commissioner James Gordon would be in the show played by Lost star Matthew Fox.

Eric Stonestreet as Harvey Bullock 

I know some of you are going to disagree with this casting and say "Cam from Modern Family as Harvey! Come on man cast someone better." I know but look Eric looks the part and he has change his voice to play serious roles so he might actually surprise people if he were cast.

Monica Raymund as Renne Montoya 

 Renne is a detective on GCPD and is partners with Harvey. She's in a current relationship with Kate Kane aka Batwoman.

Gustaf Skarsgard as The Joker

Neil Patrick Harris as Edward Nygma/The Riddler

Desmond Harrington as Harvey Dent/Two Face 

Ray Winestone as Oswald Cobberbot/The Penguin

Eva Amurri as Poison Ivy

Emma Roberts as Harley Quinn 

Kevin Rahm as Mr. Freeze

Scott Porter as Thomas Elliot/Hush

Matthew Wiig as Bane

Michael Emerson as Hugo Strange

Tom Wlaschiha as Clayface

Derek Mears as Killer Croc

Pilou Asback as Firefly

Meghan Ory as Talia Al Ghul

Oded Fehr as Ra's Al Ghul

Milo Ventimiglia as Talon

So that's my cast for a Batman TV Series let me what you think and here my ideas for a live action show Batman.

6. Have the Bat Family and Villains already established and introduce some the newest Batman family members.

Now this one thing we need to see is the Bat family is fully established, its likely we're getting the Bat family in Matt Reeves film trilogy. I don't know what Matt is going to do in the films but lets hope he doesn't screw it up. I think we're all getting tired of Batman being alone with just Alfred it's time to do the Bat Family. Have everything already established no origins needed except for the new members of the family like Duke, Harper, Cassandra, and Luke.


5. Give us an older Batman because the film series should go with younger Batman while TV series go with an older Batman.

Now as we know Ben isn't Batman anymore after two bad movies unless you count Suicide Squad. We not getting that older forty year old Batman and fans really want to see that version of Batman done right so what I think this show do is have an older Batman with already establish Bat Family and Villains. It would could totally work on TV because it's time for an actual Batman TV series. The movies can go with a younger Batman but the TV series should go with an older Batman.  

4. Make a dark, detective, thriller, and action television series. Include different POVS from the Bat family members and the villains.

Now this one thing we can all basically agree if WB did a live action show it should be a dark detective series. Kind of like what Matt Reeves is doing with his Batman film series except its a show as well as thriller too and we have more time to do episodes about other characters it won't just be about Batman we will see other characters POVs on the show even some of the villains  POVs as well. Batman is the main star of the show but we would see the POVs from Nightwing, Red Robin, Red Hood, Batgirl, Oracle, Signal, Robin, and many more.


3. Have more freedom to adapt any Batman Story arcs, well the good ones not the bad ones.

Since this a tv show the show runners and writers would have freedom to do whatever storyline they want and they don't need to re tell his origin because we all know it already. Like there are so many stories they can adapt on tv like Court of Owls, Hush, Death of a Family, The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, All Star Batman, Batman Rip, and many more. I mean there are certain storylines they wouldn't need to adapt because like Year One or Batman and Son because we already have those established already.


2. Make it a more mature series with more blood, gore, nudity, and sex. Like look the Daredevil series and maybe even WB's Mature series Titans and Doom Patrol for inspiration.     

Now this one thing we should get to see, for the past years we have gotten PG 13 Batman or kid friendly Batman but for this show like this needs to be an M rated tv show. This show would be more for mature fans than for kids. Like Matt Reeves's Batman movie will likely be a hard PG 13 film which is fine but for more mature fans we need a Batman form of media thats for mature audiences. I know some people say Titans is the closes thing to a mature Batman because it's about Robin but I'm not really a big fan of Titans. I try getting into it I just couldn't. I just don't see this on CW like as much I know a lot of fans want Batman on the CW I get it because you want Tyler Hoechlin's Superman to me the CW Batman or team up with Arrow but sadly won't happen Arrow is ending. I hear rumours CW is considering a Superman series so they could interduce CW's Batman in that show if it happens. I just feel like a live action Batman show would better suite for a more mature audience than it being at 8:00 at night on the CW. Not to mention that Batwoman show says Bruce abandon Gotham like really thats just bad writing in my opinion because from what I know Batwoman's origin isn't like that at all. If it's true about DC Streaming coming to an end I would recommend HBO Max this series instead. We need a more mature Batman series for older audiences.


Honorable mentions
1. It's okay to references or do a crossover with other DC heroes but make this more grounded.

2. Don't re tell Batman's origin and some of the characters origin if you're going to do flashbacks thats fine but for the new characters that some people haven't heard about tell their origin stories. Like Duke, Harper, Cassandra, and Luke.

3. Don't do what Batwoman is doing, make this show just epic, dark, and gritty. A tv series that keeps us at the end of our seats wanting more. No pandering to SJWS please just make a good show. 


1. Give this show a great title and here are some of my suggests for it.

For this show it doesn't need to be called just called Batman or The Batman. It should sound more bigger and exciting for everyone, if I had choose I would call it Batman Gotham Knights because this show is about Batman and the Bat family. A second title could be Batman Incorporated that also would mean we see Batman travel around the world and maybe we see The Club of Heroes but who knows. These are suggests but it would be cool to see Batman leave Gotham and explore other parts of the world or even alternate realties. 

So those are my ideas for a Batman Live Action TV Series let me know what you think. I really would love to see this happen in future if they ever do it because DC needs to just build a multiverse cinematic universe combining movies and tv. I hope you guys like it and let me know do you want a Batman live action series or would you rather they stick to films only.
