Wonder Woman: Gods of Gotham

I am totally nerding out today!  So after a ten year search, I finally got a copy of the comic book "Wonder Woman: Gods of Gotham."  This comic book is a collection of a four-part series featuring more than 15 prominent DC characters, including my favorite, Wonder Girl.  It was the first time that I ever laid eyes on her, and I fell in love with the character ever since.  The first time that I read the book was when I was eight years old at summer camp.  I would read it every day, because I loved it that much.  The comic was written in the early 2000's by Phil Jimenez, J.M. DeMatteis, and Andy Lanning.  Unfortunately, I was not able to keep the comic, because it belonged to camp.  I was so furious!

Ten years later, I now hold it in my hands!  YEESSS!!

It's about the children of the god of War, Ares, taking over the bodies of the most lethal criminals in Arkham Asylum.  The god of terror, Demios, takes over the body of the Joker (The Terror King of Gotham).  The goddess of discord, Eris, possesses Poison Ivy (who can control any man, except Batman, with just a whoosh of her phermones), and the god of fear, Phobos, possesses Scarecrow (Master of Fear in Gotham).  These gods desire to make Gotham into the new kingdom for Ares.

"Wonder Woman: Gods of Gotham" is such an interesting comic book, and I suggest anyone who loves Wonder Woman and Batman to check it out.  I think that the comic itself is a great insight into what are the true morals of these characters.  The story questions what is the true reason why we as humans seek religion.  Is it for faith or is it our desire to fill a void in our soul?  Do we all seek to be part of a divine entity?  The story is not pushing the reader into choosing a religion, but really it is trying to make us question what is our own reason for putting our faith into certain things.

***SPOILER***

Phobos uses Batman faith in fear to possess him, and Phobos becomes more powerful than ever.  Fear is the tool that Batman uses to fight crime in Gotham.  It is this tool, that helps him avenge the public; it's to inflict the same fear and pain onto the criminals that they inflict on innocent people.  However, Wonder Woman comes to rescue him.  She helps him see that he is a compassionate person who doesn't needs to put his faith in completely fear.  It is hope that trumps fear.  It's the one thing that Batman and her have.  The hope that one day crime and inequality will end.

I know that this ending sounds cheesy, but it was nice to see that side of Batman.  Batman does not believe in gods.  Let's clarify this fact.  From what I read, I believe that he does not believe in the power that these gods say that have.  He questions the fact that how could a god allow his parents to be murdered right in front of him.  How could a god allow people like the Joker and Scarecrow to continue to terrorize and kill innocent people? I like seeing heroes like Batman have weaknesses.  It makes him more realistic, and it makes the reader be able to relate to him more.  That what makes him a far more better superhero than Superman will ever be in my opinion.   I love this comic, and everything that is associated with it.  If you are lucky enough to find it, buy it at once.  


UPDATE:  I am deciding to change my name from Movie Rant Reviewer to Media Rant Reviewer.  I really don't want to just stick to reviewing movies, and I feel that media can be related to movies, TV shows, comic books, games, books, etc.  So that's that!  Thanks again for reading.  I'm going to have to change my tagline too (it's too Nostalgia Critic-like).  Hehe!  

Young Justice and News

Hey guys,

I think that it's been two weeks since my last blog.  Well, I'm back, and it's best that I start off the biggest TV show that has hit the fandom community.  "YOUNG JUSTICE"!!!  Yeah, I know that I had a fan-gasm when Wonder Girl appeared on the show.  C'mon guys,  bear with me!  This is the very first time that she has ever appeared on TV.  I have been waiting like ten years for this moment, and I will continue to relish it. This year at Comic-Con, they announced that Static Shock will appear in the show.  HELL YEAH BABY!!  I wonder if he will be voiced by Phil LaMarr again.  DeathStroke (aka Slade in Teen Titans) and Black Beetle will be in the show as well.  The trailer for the new episodes is SPECTACULAR!!  I can't wait for the hiatus to be over.  I'm so psyched for it.  It seems that every show that Greg Weisman touches turns to gold.  He has worked on "Gargoyles", "The Spectacular Spiderman", and now "Young Justice."  

One thing that I have to say to the writers.  Put Superboy and Wonder Girl together!  You know what, put her with Static then.  I hate all these "shippers" who are promoting the Blue Bettle/Wonder Girl relationship.  I hate the term "shipping."  It's OVERRATED, and it will probably fade out by the end of this year.  It needs to stop.

NEWS:  I have been updating my website recently, and I have been vigorously working on scripts for movie and TV reviews coming August/September.  I will do my best with each review.  Right now I am a lot more familiar with the audiovisual equipment and the editing software.  In other words, I know what I am doing now, and I can make better quality video reviews.  Thanks to all of you who read my blog, leave comments, and watch that one video that I have on YouTube.  I appreciate you all.  Thank you.

Enjoy this picture of Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" and my depiction of a dark version of Wonder Girl that I drew a couple of weeks ago.

NEW WEBSITE

Hey Guys,

I have a new website out.  So I will be shutting down my website of yola.com.  Here is the link to the new site.  Mind you the site is not finished yet, but I want to get a head start for my premiere of episode coming out late-August early September.  I am currently writing potential scripts for me to do later this year.  I have a Halloween special in mind for the whole month of October.  My first review will have to be special.  Any suggestions?  Let me know, and check out my site.  

Can't wait to also see the new Spiderman and Batman movie coming out this summer!  YAY!!  :)

Here the screen shot, and link to the site.

STUMPED! What Should I Do?

Hey guys,

Right now I am completely stuck in thought limbo, and I don't know what I should.  I've going back and forth deciding where I would like my video reviews to go.  I thought about doing the Goosebumps review, but now I feel like just saving it until October/Halloween.  I would like to do a Halloween themed show for the whole month of October (with Goosebumps being the theme).  Right now I am not in an environment where I have space to do these reviews.  So right now I am stuck doing reviews on my blog.  I haven't done one in a while anyway.  That Breaking Dawn blog took a lot out of me.  I really want to do this.

That's why I have decided to revamp the review block that I have on blip.tv and YouTube.  Starting in late August, I will be in a new location.  I will have enough space to film my reviews, and I will have people to help me write scripts and edit the footage.

Please let me any comments, questions, or suggestions on my blog!  I will be happy to read them.  Check out my revamped website to on Yola to see a list of things that I want to review!  I can't say thank you enough to those of you who read my blog thanks!

Oh, and The PatchWork Nerd has put on her blog that she has over 1000 page views.  We have to congratulate her in her accomplishment.  It may not seem much, but we bloggers love that people read what we type. It means so much to us that you all care about what we have to say.  Thank you.  Congrats The PatchWork Nerd.  I wish you a 1000 more page views in the future!


So there you go.  Coming late August the new version of the Movie Rant Reviewer will be coming!  :)

I also got some cool stuff on my deviantArt page.  Check it out!

Twilight: Breaking Dawn IS Hazardous for Your Health

HAHA!  I knew this shit could make you die!  I just found out some crazy information right now.  I was searching some information for Breaking Dawn on Wikipedia to include in the upcoming blog.  On the Breaking Dawn page, I found that people were having seizures while watching it.  It was hard to believe, so I did more research (sorry people, Wikipedia is not a 100% trustworthy site).  So I found this video on CBS news (YouTube), and I hope you guys can believe me now.  This movie is HAZARDOUS for you health!

DO NOT GO AND WATCH TWILIGHT!!  YOU WILL HAVE A SEIZURE AND DIE!!

Here that picture from last week, if you guys enjoy did (I made the alterations with Edward's head; it's too bad that I couldn't add any sparkles to it).

Breaking Dawn Part 1 Rant

I WILL HAVE TO DO A VLOG FOR THIS ONE!

THIS MOVIE IS ATROCIOUS!  A-T-R-O-C-I-O-U-S!!!!

Yeah, I know that I'm late on this bandwagon, but give me a break.  I borrowed it from my friend.  No way in hell was I going to buy the movie!  Please!

I can't believe that humanity is even capable of of producing such a disgusting product.  I really can't believe that these movies keep getting worse.  I am not proud of this, but I did read all of the books.  You know how they say that curiosity killed the cat.  Well, I'm sure that the Twilight saga has killed many of my brain cells!  The last book Breaking Dawn, was not even suppose to exist, but the fans wanted it.  So Stephenie Meyers pulled this story out of her ass, and we got the this piece of crap.  There is no excuse why this book had to be put into two-part (total rip-off of Harry Potter by the way).  Harry Potter has way more material than any four of these fucking books would ever have put together (times four).

(Enjoy this picture of Bruce Timm's depiction of Buffy the Vampire slayer.  I try to imagine that the vampire is Edward.)

Stephenie Meyers in no way possible can even compare to J.K. Rowling.  J.K. Rowling is an outstanding writer who takes her craft seriously.  Each character in the Harry Potter books is cradled like a new born baby.  In the book the characters grow up along with the reader.  They mature and learn from their mistakes.  They have to take responsibility for their actions.  Harry has to in the end sacrifice himself to give the others a fighting chance against Voldemort and the Death Eaters.  This is a hero.  A person who gives up their most precious treasure (their life) to save others.  These characters were very likeable and the readers could relate to them.  They had REAL problems to deal.

I, in no way, relate to this psychopathic bitch, Bella Swan.  She is a selfish, needy, male-dependent, non-feminist (in the highest meaning) wench who deserves to be burned at the stake.  All she does is stand around and let glittering pussy vampires and wimpy werewolf carry her around.  I believe that she is sociopathic.  She doesn't care about consequences, she uses people to get what she wants, and she has no emotions towards anything.  DOES SHE EVEN GO TO SCHOOL?!  All we ever see her doing is being a cock tease and letting muscle boys carry her around. The characters and story are so stupid, but my vlog will go into depth for why I hate this series so much.

I don't want to go on and on for why I hate these parasites called characters.  I have to express my opinions in the vlog.  Thanks for reading my rant!

I'm the Movie Rant Reviewer.  I rant about it because no one will.

UPDATE:  I wanted to let you all know that I deleted my Ratatoing video review from YouTube and my Blip.tv page.  Personally, I did not feel that it, in any way, demonstrated my true feelings toward the film. I know that I am more than capable of producing better work than that, and I will definitely do so in the future.  And yes, I'm still working on the Goosebumps review!

Response to Goosebumps Blog, Deviant Art, and More!!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know about what's been going on.  I have been trying to get this Goosebumps things up and rolling, but a certain thing called "studying for college finals" has been getting in my way.  I have recently bought a tripod, and I am very eager to use it.  It will be short, but I hope it will be good too!

I have been posting pictures up on my Deviant Art page, and I hope that you all will enjoy them.  Here is the link for my page: anwalker2.deviantart.com.  I know that I have been terrible with keeping up with my promises for reviews, and I feel horrible about it.  At this time, I don't know what I can do about it.  However, I will be in a different location starting in August, and I will have more opportunities to film stuff for video reviews and VLOGS.

Yes, I have decided to do vlogs (as if enough people aren't already doing it).  Whatever!  I'm doing it anyway.  I also will try to team up with my friend who is a film major this summer and make some reviews as well.  I really appreciate everyone who comes to my blog and reads what I have to say.  I want to say THANK YOU.  I am proud to say that right now I have a total of 1066 page views for my blog.  YAY!


Here's a sample of my drawings!  I hope you guys like it!  One of  these days, I will draw Wonder Girl!  I'm thinking about do my own cover art for reviews (and also with a friend too)!
