My thoughts on the casting of Superman and Lois Lane in Superman Legacy.

 

So we have our new Superman and Lois Lane for Superman Legacy. 

The new Superman is David Corenswet. 

Now I have previously cast David as Superman in some of my past fan casts, and I got to say he's a good choice. He looks the part, and he's around my age, and I have to say I think he's an excellent choice to take over as the Man of Steel. He will be the fact of the DCU, so I hope he's ready. 

I hope he does a good job and the script is good. As well, this Superman needs to be the face of the DCU. So that's all I have to say. I hope he does an excellent job as Superman. 

The most concerning topic is the story and character. That's what matters more if they get Superman done right. 

And our new Lois Lane is Rachel Brosnahan, aka Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. 

She looks the part, and she's a great actress plus, I'm happy she's only three years older than David, not ten years older like Amy was to Henry. I like this casting choice, and I think she will do a good job playing Lois Lane. She looks the part. 

So that's my thoughts on these two casting choices. I think they will do a good job. Gunn has even said they did a great job and are amazing people. Now all we need is to see who's playing Lex Luthor. So that's my thoughts. Let me know how you feel about this casting. Do you like it or not? Let's hope Superman Legacy is a good film and start for the DCU. 

My thoughts on the live action One Piece and Avatar Live Action Reboot

 

My thoughts on the One Piece Live Action Show.

(Google Image)

So this weekend, I saw the live-action One Piece trailer, and here are my thoughts on it...This show is very iffy, in my opinion. I've heard the show had an early test screen audience, and they didn't like it. So Oda apparently met with Netflix and was not happy with it either. He even told fans that he didn't want the show released until he liked it because he even admits that no one is more worried about this show than him. 

(Google Image)

Now the cast of this show all look great, and I'm sure they will do a good job playing the characters.

I will admit it depends on how they are written in the show because there is a good chance this show will suck. 

(Google Image)

However, I could be wrong, and it could be a good show, and yes, they would have to make a lot of changes and cut a lot of filler. It still could be good, but as we all know, Mangas and Anime are hard to adapt on screen because, unlike comic book projects, mangas are more crazy and filled with the impossible. Not saying they will never make a good manga adaption. It can work, but it needs to be the right one to adapt.

(Google Image)

I will admit the trailer did show some cool stuff. Buggy looks terrifying. He looks like Pennywise and the Joker mixed together. It's excellent. I'll give them credit for this; the visuals look good, and the actors look like they will do a good job. Also, the visuals in the show are pretty impressive, but it doesn't mean the show will be unique and groundbreaking. It could suck. It all depends on the show's writing and how faithful they are to the source material, even if they have to change some stuff, but sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Cowboy Bebop had a lot of potential, but in the end, it got canceled after one season. Even Hajime Yatate hated how the show was made, and the first thing he said was, "This is not my work."  

(Google Image)

So overall, I'll watch the show. I know some fans will and some won't. It all depends on what they do with the show. The show could surprise us and be good, or it will fail like most of us think it will. 

Now Avatar the Last Airbender live-action tv series.

Okay, I can only say this looks ten times better than M Night's. 

That's all I have to say. Everyone looked good except one of my friends wasn't keen on Aang's look. However, I'll just say this is way better than M Night's. I take this over that garbage movie, but I know the original creators left this project, so there is a chance this show will suck. Also, Aang looks too young in this because Katara and Sokka look like they're in their 20s, and so does Zuko. I will admit I love the scar. Thank you for a proper scar. I will say the casting looks good, and they look like their cartoon counterparts. 

However, a live-action tv show could be good or could be crap. It all depends. 

So that's my thoughts on these upcoming live-action versions of these great shows.

I don't know if they will be good or be crap like Disney live-action remakes. 

Let me know if you think you are excited about these or not. Totally understandable if you're not. 

How Marvel should have made Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness

 

How Marvel should have made Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. 

Here's another how Marvel should have made it now. This time, it's about Dr. Strange 2. After seeing Spiderman Across the Spider-Verse, I realized this movie does multiverse right. 

Spider-Verse did a much better job with Multiverse than Dr. Strange and Loki.

Marvel should take notes from Sony. 

I see what Spider-Verse did right and what this movie did wrong.

So here's how Marvel should have made Dr. Strange 2.

10. As I mentioned in my past blogs, a forced co-lead doesn't need to be there. 

Again, I don't have anything against Xochitl Gomez. I think she's a very talented actress, but this movie does what Phase 4 always does pull a bait-and-switch. The film focuses too much on her instead of Dr. Strange again. He's sidelined. I think this character is forced into the movie because, from what I've seen, former producer Victoria Alonso wanted this character so badly. It would work if you gave American Chavez her own series or introduced the character in something else. She doesn't fit the Dr. Strange mythos now. If anyone here liked this character, that's fine, but I think she was forced into this film like all co-leads.

9. The film should have had Strange just move on from Christine. 

In the film, Christine gets married because she wasn't blipped, and Dr. Strange is upset, but he knew this would happen once he saw the reality that they won against Thanos. I think the film should have had him accept that's move on, and he's moving on too. That's when the film should have had Clea in the movie, not just at the end but in the whole film. She and Strange bond because she's had to go through this, too, and they hit it off. I know the film teaches us that it's hard to move on from someone, but eventually, we find someone new in our lives. The variant was a good scene because he tells her he loves her but is ready to move on. They could keep that. 

8. The film should have introduced Doctor Voodoo.

Doctor Voodoo, to me, should have been in this film, being a fan favorite from the comics. Jericho Drumm, aka Dr. Voodoo, could have been Strange's second best friend/rival, for they both respect and can't stand each other. Voodoo, to me, would have been more interesting in this film because he communes with the dead, and they refer to him as Brother Voodoo. Like in the movie, he could have had him reveal he worked for Nightmare once because Nightmare killed his brother Daniel. Voodoo vowed to avenge his brother and stop Nightmare. Dr. Strange and Dr. Voodoo team up, and Strange knows what he's going through as he lost a sister he couldn't save. The two of them bond over this and becomes friends.

Having Voodoo would have been a more exciting character instead of Chavez, in my opinion. If I were cast Brother Voodoo, I would have cast Yahya Abdul Mateen the Second.

I know he's playing Wonder Man, but that character sucks.

Or 

Lakeith Standfield 

7. The film should have given Clea a significant role in the movie.

Clea appears at the end of the film setting up the third film; honestly, I think she should have played a significant role in this film. She could have been Strange's new love interest, who basically gets him over Christine. Clea helps Strange in the movie, and the two of them form a strong bond because they have a lot in common and head it off just like that. Clea was also raised by her father Orini, who taught her magic, and her mother abandoned them, for she went insane after being cursed and didn't want to kill her family. So her mother cast herself into an unknown reality to protect her family. I would reveal in the third film that she is actually the niece of Dormammu. 

6. Vision should have been in the film.

Vision is getting his own show called Vision Quest, but I think the character should have been in the film. After what happened in Wanda Vision, I think it would have made more sense to have Vision in the movie, and he's the one who saves Wanda. Instead of the reality of Billy and Tommy that sing her a weird song, you have Vision show a hologram of them playing together and a hologram of them as a family. When the made-up Vision gave his memories to White Vision, he remembered spending time with Wanda and their sons. Something like that would have worked better for this film that redeems Wanda, and she stops Nightmare from destroying the Multiverse.  

5. They made Scarlet Witch the villain, which didn't work.

Scarlet Witch has been a villain in the comics, but I feel the character wasn't the right villain for this film. I heard rumors that Scott Dickerson left because they wanted the movie to be more of a season 2 to Wanda Vision, which he didn't like that idea. He wanted the film to be about Dr. Strange, but he was all right with Scarlet Witch in the movie. He just didn't want to sideline Dr. Strange. I get more into this later. But I heard he also left Dr. Strange 2 because he was offered another movie to make, and I think he was given more freedom of creative control with that film, unlike this film. 

I feel like what they should have done was have Wanda work with the character of Nightmare. You could have had Nightmare make a deal with Wanda that he will give her kids from a different reality, but Nightmare is double-crossing her because he's only using her to destroy the Multiverse. It would have worked better if Wanda had worked with someone instead of going insane alone. 

4. They shouldn't have wasted the Illuminati  

Now the Illuminati appear in this film, and they all die like that. I feel like Marvel needs to stop this because you cast the perfect actor for Mr. Fantastic, played by John Krasinski, and they kill him by turning him into spaghetti. I know people enjoyed this scene, but I mean, come on, none of them try to help each other also, Mr. Fantastic is the most intelligent man on the planet, and you don't have him outsmart Scarlet Witch. Also, why is it that Mr. Fantastic and Black Bolt die without either member helping them, and you have Peggy say I can do this all day and some fans are like really? 

In Across the Spider-Verse, we see a lot of Spidermen and Women, and I got to tell ya, none of them get wasted. Except for Scarlet Spider, Spiderman 2099 was great, Spiderwoman was excellent, and Spider-Punk stole the show. It would have been better if they had done this with the Illuminati because they wasted these characters. 

Especially John. I mean, Adam Driver will be the MCU Mr. Fantastic, and I know Kevin said this was just fan service for the fans. It's just lame because he would have been a great Mr. Fantastic. 

3. Nightmare should have been the film's villain instead of Scarlet Witch.

Originally Nightmare was going to be the film's villain, and I think they should have stuck with him because he's a better villain choice. Nightmare is the ruler of Nightmare World and a Fear Lord. In the film, Nightmare could have been the one who gets Scarlet Witch to go crazy, and he wants to merge his world with Earth19999. Nightmare could have been a great villain because he's not sympathetic, just twisted and scary. In this film, he would have been a game-changer if they kept him as the villain. 

We could have an epic battle between Dr. Strange and Nightmare. Scarlet Witch also realizes he lied to her, and she, along with Strange, Clea, Wong, and Voodoo, defeats him, and they lock him away forever. Nightmare would have been a better villain for the second film, but they messed that up. 

Also, if I were to cast Nightmare, I would cast David Tennant.

2. The film wastes Dr. Strange because he should have been the main focus!

Like most MCU films, they sideline their protagonist, and Dr. Strange got sidelined for a co-lead. The film I feel wasted Strange, like we should have seen him do more action. He gets knocked out from a fight with that monster, and his cape does the fighting for him. Dr. Strange should have done more in the film, but I did like his variants, and the zombie Dr. Strange was cool. One thing I know about Sam Raimi is that he's great at horror films. Still, Dr. Strange should have been the star of his movie, and they should have had him trying to stop Nightmare and save Wanda before she helps Nightmare destroy their world and the Multiverse. Strange was done better in No Way Home, and they got to make him Sorcerer Supreme again, and if I were making this film, I would end it with Wong making him Sorcerer Supreme again. This film focuses more on Scarlet Witch and American Chevaz over Dr. Strange. His name is in the title of the film. Focus on your protagonist and not his co-leads.  

I would keep the third eye ending, set up Baron Mordo as the villain in the next film, and finally see Dr. Strange battle against Dormammu. 

Also, Dr. Strange was initially supposed to be in Wanda Vision, but they didn't want him because they didn't like the idea of him helping Wanda, which is kind of weird. Kevin Feige once said Dr. Strange is the MCU anchor, yet he's not using him at his best lately. Maybe Phase 5 will fix that because they got stop sidelining their main characters. 

1. Marvel needs to give its directors more creative control but still follow a plan.

Joe Russo once said that Marvel directors don't get a lot of freedom of creative control. Sure, James Gunn, but that was because he got fired over some tweets but was rehired after Suicide Squad. I've heard this film had many problems, and there were a lot of rewrites in the script. There were a lot of issues with this movie, but I think if you just give directors a little more freedom, it could work out better. It would be great if they kept Scott's ideas and had Raimi direct the film. I heard Scott wanted the film to be a total horror film and make it rated R because he wanted to up Marvel's game. However, they didn't want that, but we know Deadpool 3 will be their first MCU R-rated film. I still think Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness would have worked better if they gave directors more freedom of creative control. Overall, if you still like this film the way it was made, that's fine, but I think it could have been better. 

Plus, the Multiverse wasn't as good as Spider-Verse we should have explored more crazy realities or set up Kang as the big villain of the Multiverse Saga. 

So that's how I think Marvel should have made Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. 

Now if you liked the movie the way it was, that's fine, but I think Across the Spider-Verse is a way better film that does a multiverse storyline better. 

Seriously Marvel needs to take notes from Sony when making a good Multiverse film. After all, they know how to write a good Multiverse storyline because they give their writers and directors freedom of control.

The live-action Spider-Verse stuff isn't good, but their animated films are fantastic. 

 

 

Spider-Man Across the Spider Verse Review

 

My Review of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse

So I saw Spiderman Across the Spider-Verse, and here's my review of it...This movie was amazing and spectacular; this is the best superhero film this year. I just loved this film, and I got to tell ya, this film is groundbreaking for animation. 

This movie blew my mind away, and they took a lame villain like the Spot and made him fantastic.

This film explores the multiverse, and I got to tell ya, there are some great cameos of other Spidermen, and I just loved this film. 

We see a lot of new Spider-people, and I got to tell ya, there are all great characters.

I loved Spiderman 2099. He's the most serious Spiderman, and you will question what he does, but I think in the next film, we will see him change because, like every Spiderman, he's lost so much. Also, Oscar Issac does a great job voicing him. It's way better than Moon Knight, or as I call the MCU Moon Knight, Beta Knight. Also, check out my Spiderman 2099 Fan Cast and Ideas.

Spider-Punk, to me, is the best new character. He is so cool and so funny. He is voiced by Daniel Kaluuya. Spider-Punk was a fun character. I loved how he was animated, and you loved this character the moment you met him. 

Also, I did like Spider-Woman in this film, and she was pregnant when we first met her, but she's not for long. Still, she's an interesting character, and I don't know if she has the AIM origin. We are getting a Spider-Woman film that will be animated. She is voiced by Issa Rae.

Spider-Man India is a great character too, and he is so funny in this film. He is voiced by Karan Soni. You might know him from Deadpool. He's a fun character in this film, making me laugh so hard. 

Scarlet Spier appears, and he is voiced by Andy Sandberg. I will be honest, not a spoiler, but I feel like they wast Scarlet Spider because he's one of the most remarkable characters in comics. 

Also, Spectacular Spiderman returns in this film, making me want a season 3! 

Now I did love the film's romance with Miles and Gwen, and the film does show Gwen's universe. We meet her father, Captain Stacy, and see her complex relationship with her father. Miles has the same issues with his own parents and basically shows how tough relationships with parents and their kids are. In this film, we see Miles's Mom play a more significant role, and she's excellent in this film. So his dad, too, and I like the scenes when he talks to Miles as Spiderman. 

Also, Peter Parker, aka Spiderman, returns in this film; this time, he's a dad. We are introduced to Mayday Parker. You might know her as Spidergirl from the comics. Peter is fantastic, as always. He didn't play a big role in the film, but I think he will in the next movie. Also, I loved Mayday in this film, and seeing Peter as a dad is more interesting than what Zeb Wells has done with the character in the comics. 
 

I loved the film's animation. As I mentioned, in every reality they go to, we see different styles of energy, and it works. 

The fight scene in this film is entertaining, and I must tell you. I can't wait for Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse, which will be out next March. This film was epic, and I just loved every bit of it. I hope to see more Spider-people, and we are getting a live-action Miles Morales, so hopefully, that will be good. 

Overall, the cast of the film did a great job, like Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson returning from the last movie, and I hope Nic Cage returns as Spiderman Noir. 

Overall I loved this film. This is the best Spiderman movie and the best superhero film this year.

I highly recommend this film to anyone because you will have a great time and I'm seeing it again. 

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

GO see it!!!!

My Top 6 LGBT Heroes.

 

My Top 6 Favourite LGBT Heroes

So to celebrate Pride Month, here are my top 6 favorite LGBT Heroes from Marvel and DC. Also, I just want to say a hero is a hero. It doesn't matter what race, gender, or sexuality they are. If they inspire you, that's all that matters. 

Let's begin. 

6. Northstar 

Northstar was the first Gay Superhero in comics, and when the character was revealed to be gay, it was a game-changer. Because Marvel wasn't allowed to show a full-on gay character and John Byrne gave hints that the character was gay, and writer Scott Lobdell was given permission to confirm the character's sexuality. So bam, Alpha Flight 106 Northstar comes out as gay. Northstar is still an interesting hero. He's super fast, and he has the same powers as sister Aurora does if you've seen my Alpha Flight movie fan cast. 

In the Astonishing X-Men run, Northstar proposed to his boyfriend, Kyle.

This was a massive deal in the comics because the first gay superhero was marrying his boyfriend.

However, some people were offended by this comic. In fact, mothers were angry about this comic being sold in Toy R Us.

To quote Frank Reynolds 

"Look, who gives a shit if gays want to be miserable like the rest of us and get married.

Let them do it! It's no skin off my ass." 

Honestly, it's just a wedding, also in the comics. Northstar and Kyle have a daughter, so that's exciting. 

Still, Northstar broke many barriers, and this character is why we see more LGBT heroes, which is good. 

If I were to cast Northstar, I would cast Jesse Rath. 

For the record, Jesse isn't gay in real life, but what matters is he's a good actor.

As Ian McKellen once said.

"We're Acting. We're Pretending." Wise words from Gandalf. 

What matters is they cast a good actor to play a character like I want Luke Evans to play Sinestro, and he's gay, and Sinestro isn't. 

We should cast actors for their acting skills, and that's it.

5. Catwoman

As we know, Catwoman was always Batman's main love interest, but in the comics, they eventually revealed that Selina Kyle was Bisexual, which makes sense. Selina Kyle, I have loved her for so many years since I was a kid, and she's so cool. I mean, current comics haven't done a good job lately, but the old comics have done a great job with her. 

Catwoman has always been Batman's love interest, and I did not like the Tom King storyline. 

However, Catwoman has had other relationships because Selina will flirt with anyone.

In The Batman, it's shown that Selina had a girlfriend before she met Batman, and sadly, her girlfriend was killed. However, Catwoman is one of my favorite LGBT characters because she will flirt with anyone. 

Still love Catwoman and can't wait to see her in the DCU, maybe Brave and the Bold but don't base her on Tom King's take on the character. If I were to cast the DCU Catwoman, I would cast Ana De Armas.

4. Psylocke 

Psylocke is one of my favorite female X-Men characters. I especially loved her in the Uncanny X Force Run, one of my favorite X series. Psylocke is a telepath and is skilled in sword combat. I'm not a fan of the Captain Britan era, but they brought her back as Psylocke in Hellions, which is good. I also liked the X-Men Blue run with her being the team's telepath, and she's just so badass, way better than Jean, despite her split personality. Psylocke has been romantically involved with Arcangel. 

Their romance ended on a sad note after Age of the Archangel.

They had one of the best relationships; the love triangle was with Fantomex. I usually don't like love triangles, but Warren lost his memory after he was stabbed with the seed of life. So I guess it means their relationship was over.

She did get with Fantomex and remained with him for a while until they broke up after he gave his body to Xavier during the Astonishing X-Men run.

Eventually, she got with a female Fantomex.

Now she's with Rachel Summers, which is a weird match, but it's whatever. 

Psylocke is one of the best X-Men, and I hope they will do her justice in future MCU X-Men films. Because they need to get, her done right. 

Psylocke is my second favorite Telepath, next to Emma Frost. If I were to cast Psylocke, I would cast Katie Leung.

3. Midnighter  

Midnighter has been known as Gay Batman, but he's more of the love child of Wolverine and Punisher because he is way more violent and kills his bad guys, unlike Batman. Midnighter has done extreme stuff for The Authority.

I mean, just look at this guy. He's so badass. I hope he's fantastic in the film because look at him. 

Whoever they cast, Midnighter, I hope the actor does a great job playing the role, and I think Midnighter will be a fan favorite in the film. Wouldn't be shocked if he gets his own spin-off.

In the comics, he's married to Apollo, the Authority's Superman, and they have a daughter together. Midnighter is one of my favorite LGBT heroes because he's so badass, and he's one of the reasons I'm interested in the upcoming Authority movie. If I were to cast Midnighter, I would cast Darren Criss.

2. Harley Quinn

I mean, who doesn't love Harley Quinn? She is funny, she's cool, and I love that hammer she uses. Harley is one of the best characters in DC comics, and she was initially a tv character created by Bruce Timm. Harley went on to appear in the comics, dump the Joker, hook up with Deadshot, and, of course, she got with Poison Ivy. Harley has come a long way since appearing in the Batman show because, let me tell ya, she's one of the most popular DC characters by far. 

She and Deadshot hooked up at one point.

However, Harley's true love is and always is Poison Ivy.

Margot Robbie wants to make a Harley Quinn film, and she wants Poison Ivy as Harley's love interest.

I'm down for that. It could be a rated R film. I feel that Harley and Ivy have one of the best relationships because these two were shipped even during the Batman animated series. Besides, I take Ivy over Joker any day. 

Also, the Harley Quinn show is hilarious too. 

Harley Quinn will be in Joker 2, aka Folie a Deux.

I think Lady Gaga will do a good job. She's a pretty interesting choice, and this Harley won't be like Margot's because she's more messed up. I would be shocked if she and Joker have a better romance in this film. 

And my favorite LGBT hero is...

1. Daken/Fang/Dark Wolveirne 

Daken is my favorite LGBT Superhero. Daken is Wolverine's son from his wife Itsu. Daken is one of the most badass characters out there, and, initially, he started out as a villain, joined Norman Osborn's Avengers, and went by Dark Wolverine. 

Daken stepped out of the shadows and played a massive role in Dark Reign and beyond.

After the Dark Reign and Siege events, he became Dark Wolverine and got his own series. He led his own Brotherhood mutants, and Wolverine killed his own son, but it's shown that Wolverine loved his son and wished he raised him and been there for him. Daken eventually came back to life as a Horseman for Apocaplyse Twins. Finally, he returned as Daken and currently goes by Fang now and has redeemed himself and made amends with his father. He's also a member of X Factor and the Marauders. Daken has come a long way and is one of my favorite X-Men. 

Daken has been with women and men.

Majorie Liu once said. 

"Daken will do anyone or anything. He's no more Homosexual than he is Heterosexual."

Daken has been in relationships with Ms. Sinister and Ice Man; he's had one-night stands and kissed Bullseye once, which was really funny.

"I always did like playing for both teams." Daken. Dark X-Men

I always found this moment funny because Bullseye's reaction is priceless. 

Daken is my all-time favorite LGBT Superhero; currently, in the comics, he is with Aurora from Alpha Flight. Speaking of Alpha Flight, there will be a series relaunch, Daken will be involved, and Auroa might be pregnant. Wolverine is going to be a grandpa. Now if I were to cast Daken, I would cast Ryan Potter.

So that's my top favorite LGBT characters from Marvel and DC. 

Let me know what you think. 

Happy Pride Month to all my friends and family.
