Ten years of being sick

Okay this is gonna feel weird but lately i remember sometime ago of being sick after march break which i couldn't even remember how i got sick i think it was a flu along with a cough and sore throat. It wasn't good but sort of staying in bed and sometimes on the computer all day well mostly to go outside for a walk or bike ride that my parents always tell me about. 

But i did get to watch Madagascar 3 The dark knight rises and the hobbit that i would watch whenever i felt like it. Around that time the clone wars tv show would get cancelled which i will talk about soon. 

While i was on the computer it was often watching random videos and watching tv, on television it was often teletoon and family tv along with disneyxd it was either Pair of Kings The Next step dog with a blog jimmy two shoes total drama among other shows that i can think of. Great times and before you all say you have a great memory yes, yes i do.

Two years of blogging

Wow well you look at that it's been over two years since i first start blogging and wow it's been crazy enough to realize this and been trying to schedule in stuff on time but because i'm only writing this down was to realize how much i been blogging and another sad point of my life was seeing teletoon shut down and rebrand into cartoon network although the teletoon streaming service is still active i have talk about it before and will always remember teletoon. 


I have blogged about shows and movies that i have seen before or recently and posting in my own comic book characters for my series and i have work my own series as well so here's to hopes of it getting made. Part of me that i wish i could have done blogging a long time ago if i would have written about it back in 2012 maybe springtime sometimes i wonder what could have happened if i have done blogging back than i would have try it out back in March 2012 to whatever month that i try to post and post and would have continued on between summer to winter and later on from 2012-2018 of December maybe take a break and continue on blogging a bit in 2019 and in 2020 if i had a computer or laptop from working and savings things would have been different and i would still to get a new desktop and laptop from acer. Than back in 2021 and 2022 to here as well i think i would have talk about maybe Transformers Star Wars Marvel DC Nickelodeon and later on some stuff in life as well not a movie critic blogger i guess like on the header above was talk of whatever i feel like telling some great stories. I look back at the past even though i was 13 years old back than but sick too so i could have written a blog site if only i thought of that before and it would be 10 years since i graduated my elementary school and will talk about it too. And now i can talk of my childhood shows that i remember watching and couldn't help but have a tear in my eye like tears in the rain and listen to music that would remind of the past i don't know why but i guess nostalgia that is the word i had in my mind. 

I have started out scheduling posts that will be uploaded and i have the blogger app and write down ideas of which post to talk about and research on them and look on other sites that is part of looking into details. Here's to two years.

Lego Club Maganizes

You probably know this or not but lego club maganize was one of those items that i remember having as a kid and really like doing if it was doing activities or collecting them all before growing out of it but not lego. 


I first own a copy of it was back in Jaunary 2010 and saw Lego Atlantis at the front cover that was part of it i really like them that i didn't get any of the maganizes from the 2000s that i wish if i was seven years old back than i would have recevie a lego club maganize and get the same ones from 2010s. 


I try to get Lego Club Maganizes as i can 



September 2008-October 2008

This is one of the front covers promoting Lego Star Wars The Clone Wars where they promoted the first sets back in 2008 and the film too. 



May-June 2009 

Lego City set that were being promoted i didn't get this one but want to find it and read what the maganize was promoting at the time and on the front cover is the hunt for R2-D2 that the episode was based on and promoting it. 



September-October 2009 

Below with the hunt for R2D2 and Lego City and Bionicle on display too. 



Here is Lego Atlantis set back in January 2010 and had Bionicle and other sets that is on and this is one of the sets that i managed to get and even the one below is four others that i had and still do. 



May 2010-June 2010 

Following that came Disney Prince of Persia during the promotion and Lego Star wars for a new adventure and Hero Factory that was coming sooner. 


January 2011 

Lego Ninjago i have a different magazine cover so this was published back in 2011. 


July-August 2011

Then came lego alien invasion that have some figures from lego city sets not sure why but eh who knows didn't really thought about it but i went for it.

September 2012-October 2012

Lego City had a mining company on display too i thought it was pretty cool and would look over any new set that were coming. 


Even this video that I saw before talks about what made it so awesome and all of the previews and sneak peeks from the magazines that tell us the upcoming lego sets and theme even had lego city. Marvel and DC were part of it like Man of Steel The Avengers and Iron man 3 between 2012-2013 

 

But since then around November 2013 nearly ten years from now or maybe January 2014 i stop having lego maganizes as i was getting older in my teenage years i never really thought of it once more as i know that i didn't need them anymore but manage to have the lego club maganizes between 2010-2013 or 2014. But now that they would published for a final time in January 2017 although are still on but i remember these ones way differently.

Transformers: Beast Wars

Well that's just prime. 


Back in the 90s Transformers just finish it's g1 toyline and would try to rebrand it once again for the g2 toy line and the comics too which really didn't work and transformers was all time low. Transformers in Japan however had the g2 toyline was a direct sequel to G1 launch back in 1995 however a misconception that G2 started in america around 1992 before the toyline launch back in 1995 it instead was in their own continuity it had it's toyline storypages manga pages along with instruction manuals another manga special like the new battle made by Comic Bom Bom. But the toyline ended in 1995 and Takara continued on their own robot toy line the brave series. 


However G2 it was false around 1986 some fans left the franchise and when the 2007 film came around they thought that G2 was the continuation of it even Pat Lee thought of this misconception before. While the original animated movie certainly marked a change from one "generation" of toys to another, along with some new design trends, the phrase "Generation 2" refers to a very specific franchise, marketed from 1992 to 1995. Years after the animated film had come and gone. Its relative obscurity probably contributes to the misattribution of the term, as Generation 2 marks a low point in popularity for Transformers as a whole.


Hasbro needed to keep the toyline alive and went for something else different that was animals but more like transforming animals instead of cars jets or anything like that before and went for Beast Wars Transformers and later on a show that made it's first airdate on September 16, 1996 and Ended on March 7 1999. But the show however wasn't that well received not the critics the fans of the show were unhappy with it with characters that didn't transformed into cars jets or objects they weren't fans of it with jokes like monkey truck etc. But it managed to get the fan's interest and enjoy the show and won over many viewers through fun, intriguing stories and generally high production values. Strong characterization, top-notch scripting and voice acting, and complex, overarching plot threads are among the reasons cited for the show's enduring popularity. Some of the show's mysteries and machinations still remain topics for fan debate decades after its conclusion. The show was a computer animation than using hand draw animation style from the 80s the studio behind it was Mainframe Studios that was responsible for the show. 



Instead of the Autobots, there were the maximals led by Optimus Primal with him are Rhinox Rattrap Cheetor Tigatron Airazor Tigerhawk Depth Charge Dinobot Silverbolt. The Maximals are descendants of the Autobots.  



Predacons descendants from the decepticons they are led by BW Megatron Blackarachnia Scorponok Waspinator Inferno (BW) Tarantulas Terrorsaur Quickstrike and Rampage/Protoform X Along with Ravage and the Ghost of Starscream who made a guest appearance. 

They crash land on a prehistoric earth The planet is found to be rich in deposits of raw Energon, in such extreme amounts that it proves to be poisonous to both factions' robot forms, forcing them to take on alternate organic forms for protection until their robot forms are needed. Thus the robots take on the beast forms of recognizable animals including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, dinosaurs, and invertebrates


It was also a Sequel/Prequel to Transformers G1 with nods from the cartoon and the g1 comic book likely with the ark the great war teletraan 1 starscream ravage the matrix optimus prime the first episode of the g1 cartoon arcee megatron Unicron and so much more that the show did. They also introduce Protoforms which would be used later in the franchise. 


Now i have watch the show around 2008 at the time of the 10th anniversary of the show and while i have watch both the g1 cartoon and 2007 animated series and came upon the show i didn't hate the show and was use to computer animation and seeing how it reference the g1 cartoon i couldn't help but smile when watching it and seeing them on screen was joy. But the show didn't shy away from darker terrority like suicide horror and even one of the darkest episode like the tragic tale of transmutate even i felt that was a dark episode which steve has done a video of. 



I hope everyone enjoy this post and i hope you had a awesome march break holiday.

Assassin's Creed Novels and Manga Books


Back in High School, i heard of Assassin's Creed novels that i didn't think of reading but later on in 2018 i got a hand of reading the novelizations of Ac 2 (Renaissance) Brotherhood Black Flag AC 3 (Forshaken) Unity Underworld and two Shao Jun Books that i am still reading. I won't tell much of the plot of them but they are like the game but with changes and differences to them and have their own stories too. 


I did enjoy reading Brotherhood Unity and Black Flag cause of the details and plot in the books and work very differently from the games too one of the pages from black flag is in the game too when you are modern era and collect in some details of Edward Kenway. As for Shao Jun's books like the ming storm and desert threat, i am still reading them and so far far really enjoy them Renaissance Underworld and Forshaken, however, are good trying to read as much i can. i don't know if i plan to get more who knows anyways time to talk about shao jun manga books. 

Manga Books of Shau Jun i have four of them and i really like them, especially how the manga art in Assassin's Creed looks incredible well i won't tell much of the plot it's available on bookstores so collected them if you can.

SWTCW S5 Finale Episode and the shot that really hit me


I been meaning to talk about this episode for a long time and i was about to talk about it but got very distracted with other things in life and would happen to talk the finale of The Clone Wars Season 5 where Ahsoka leaves the jedi order and what really hit me was the shot that i saw when she rejected of returning and walking out of the temple was a gut wrench moment for me and this was back in 2013 and watching season 5 episode before it's cancellation or end and hits me hard when i was facing a choice to leave a place that i had to go for and walk away. Who couldn't help but watch every episode of the clone wars i know i didn't watch much of it back than before seeing it once again maybe with the mandolore arc. 


Yet this scene was heartbreaking in Star Wars Universe and those of watching were either crying and sad. Not just that but anakin losing his padawan was led to him turn to the dark side where the show take before revenge of the sith. I mean from watching the clone wars movie where ahsoka made her debut sure she had some problems with the fans but it wasn't until they fixed her in the show as it progress and having her mature to have her leave the jedi order. The shot of her leaving the jedi temple as she walks down the stairs hit me hard of remembering seeing the movie and show collecting lego sets and action figures was like saying good bye to our childhoods.

A Photo from February 2013

About 13 years ago i found this photo from my old facebook account and after realizing it and this was back when snow days were happening a lot before i had to clean the driveway with a snowblower. 


The sun rising was orange mixed with yellow and the skies were also orange and blue too and the driveway around my neighborhood was quiet and i took this photo pretty fun back than. 


Down below here is a snowmobile trip that i use to do before and from what i can tell was that it was a fun time driving around with my parents and their friends we made quiet a journey and stop for food and return back around night time and it was a lot of fun i can tell. I do have more to look and find so keep a good eye out.

Dinosaur (2000) Is underrated

Does anyone remembers dinosaur from Disney that was release in May 2000 well you're in luck the film itself has an interesting backstory. Starting with story ideas that they try to craft together before the finish product several storyboards and animation tests were made but it's gonna be hard for me to tell so here goes. 

The film talks of a young Iguanodon who is adopted by lemurs they survived a meteor strike that destroyed life around it and their home too thet would meet up with a huge pack of dinosaurs led by kron and bruton and searching for water, aladar would meet three other dinosaurs and the journey is hot and with no food or water they must make it or can they. 

The film is like surviving in the desert and finding water which i recall has been told before and i guess that the reason why it's underrated was likely due to critics at the time felt like it lacks originally or the story it's doesn't get a lot of recognition or praise but i find it to quite enjoyable and the film isn't just like Jurassic park it's more like survival sacrifice and taking risk whatever means necessary it doesn't feel like your average kid's movie there are risks needed and scenes that can be dark where Aladar is about to be eaten and his adoptive little sister Sari screams out his name which i remember seeing that part on Toy Story 2 Vhs tape before and never left my mind even when the raptors themselves that were about to attack Aladar and his family and the sounds they make give me chills and they were different from the ones on Jurassic Park. 



The soundtrack itself is made by James Newton Howard now i have mention the tracks in the movie that i already made on my other post before so from what i can say about the soundtrack itself it really is so beautiful but yet strong when you listen to the parts of the soundtracks and i recommended hearing it. 


So the film i saw this back in kindergarten when i saw the movie on previews from Disney and Pixar i did rent a movie of it from blockbuster and brought the dvd of it back in 2008 i think it was around spring or summer i recall maybe the fall perhaps it was at walmart and i remember buying dvds there before it was awesome back than there are games on the movie that i recall seeing and also learning about the dinosaurs as a kid i had a great time playing them and learning about them and had trouble with the cave game too that was really hard for me to get through and i know what happens in the end i seen the video before if only i can do it once more.

Upcoming Art pieces Part 1

Okay so i know i haven't yet really talk much of my comic book series since i have been busy on other things and trying to get the characters done as possible so lately, I have gotten four down. And i can't help but feel happy and moving everything forward. 


Here is Ashley Flynn yes she was Cindy but i change to her middle name instead. She's like either Mary Jane Watson or Cindy Vortex smart, kind, loving, caring and good-hearted, but exuberant, carefree, and fun however she's independent strong-willed, and competitive but sometimes spoiled bossy and prideful if going too far.  

This one is Denise McCullough based off Libby Folfax from Jimmy Neutron. Denise is Ashley's best friend and the voice of reason does have a her mind and when her best friend ashley goes too far and provide a reality check and has a voice that can shatter glass and send those running for cover. But unlike the rest of the gang and evolved into the group's most sensible and levelheaded member. She's really into genres of music are hip-hop, R&B, and funk



Shawn Woods a friend to the main protagaoist Shawn is shown to be very helpful, able to provide some scientific insight or come up with a solution, albeit unusual ones. His favorite Hero is Captain Maximus that he worship and would think what would Captain Maximus do. Althought he's not into science but has a lot of respect to that and everyone. 



Bentley Hamilton is more of tech-support like but knows about science geography and history even technology. Bentley is Timmy's best friend like him who's an aerospace engineer, physicist, astronaut/astronomer, biochemist, computer programmer, and architect. Bentley is more of the cool yet easy-going kid among his peers and doesn't mind music like hip hop rap rock and funk much like Denise. 


This is part 1 as of the writing on this blog post i can't help but feel rather happy i look forward sharing part 2 later on.

Teletoon

I know this is late, but in February, Teletoon will be shut down or rebanded into Boomerrang or Cartoon Network across Canada, which started in 1997 and would rebranded the logo later on. They aired shows like if i could name them all. 


Wayside 

Class of the Titans 

6Teen 

Total Drama 

Johnny Test 

Atomic Betty 

Detentionaire 

Green Lantern 

Star Wars The Clone Wars 


Also aired that weird short cartoons forgot what it was. But anyways with this month being the last month where it gets rebranded into a new name i really am gonna miss it cause growing up with channels and places that's been with you since you were a kid really hits my heart cause i would get up and watch teletoon in the morning and afternoon even to watch them around night time watching not just cartoons but live actions shows well my babysitter's a vampire.


It really is gonna be hard and we will remember the logo itself after the credits roll and see the classic logos from 1997-2007 to later 2007-2011 and the new logo getting remade too with boomerang and cartoon network coming let's hope for the best.
