So, I finally accomplished one of my life's goals a while ago, so I guess I'll start with that. A year ago, (February of last year to be exact) I went to the New York Comic Convention, and purchased the Complete Set of the 90's X-Men: The Animated Series. For anyone who is a comic fan, or grew up with a television in the 90's knows of this, and knows that it is one of the greatest pieces of animation ever, next to the Spiderman animated series, and Batman: the animated series. This Cartoon is surprisingly true to it's source material, and very rarely deviates, only to fit time constraints and advance the story. I LOVE this series, and while sad to finally see the end of it, and frustrated that it HAD to end (which in essence began my hatred for FOX), I feel not only a sense of accomplishment, but that wonderful feeling of nostalgia, in reuniting with some old friends, and now that I'm older, I can truly appreciate that wonderful part of my childhood. With that, I'd like to point out some things:
- Storm over dramatizes everything when she uses her powers.
Don't get me wrong, I love Storm. She is a co-leader, she's hot, and she is such a eloquent, benevolent person. Nary a bad word said from her
, and she holds herself in such a regal manner, probably from when her tribe worshiped her as a goddess. That said, she made
Everything overly dramatic. Don't believe me?

All the time. After the first episode, I found myself saying "shut the fuck up Storm!" every time she went into battle, albeit jokingly, of course.
- Apocalypse is the greatest promo guy in the entire universe.
Exactly what I said. Every episode that features him, and everything he says not only sets the mood, but upgrades it. I actually found myself hanging in his every word. Apocalypse is EPIC in his monologues:

My Favorite Quote: " I am not malevolent. I simply Am."
- Jean Grey is fucking useless.
I won't even put up a video. She did absolutely nothing, besides get fondled by the Nasty Boys and become the Phoenix.. That, and she doesn't have a codename. In fact, she STILL doesn't have a codename, and she's been dead for 4 years.
- My Way Entertainment ruined The Juggernaut, and yet made him 10x funnier.
Oh yeah. when The Juggernaut burst through that wall on Muir Island, I said it. Every other time he spoke, I said it. I won't say it now, because I'm starting to hate seeing those parody videos. Hilarious the first time around, but then it ruined the quality of it. Oh, and Gladiator is a genderless prick.
Think about it. Damn Shame though.
So yeah, those are my most important observations about the X-Men:AS. I'll surely miss it, but then again, I wouldn't mind popping it back in my $300 piece of shit and re watching some episodes. My next item on the agenda would have to be finishing (or starting rather) my Baccano! series. From what I gathered, it's pretty much The Godfather meets Fullmetal Alchemist. Should be fun.
One year. I finally made through the fire and flames and made it to 1 year with my girlfriend. I feel good about this. No,
happy.
Oohh! oohh! My WoW is still up! SO if you aren't or you haven't get on! Message me and we'll play sometime!
So, I've been having these dreams lately, about this story I wanted to do since senior year, and in each dream it progresses little by little, or reinterprets it self, changing events each night. There are two distinct dreams, one towards the end of what I believe to be the first part, and the other in the middle of the second part. I've begun to write out a framework of the characters involved, but I can't seem to come up with a beginning, or something to link together the two dreams. It's weird, but I'm actually excited about it. I hope this feeling doesn't go away for a while, cuz it's actually motivating me to put pen to paper.
