Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

I really liked this the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack when the cartoon series premiered. Sadly, I haven't seen much after season 2. I'm not even sure anything new was produced. In any case, I'd qualify this cartoon as a Spongebob Squarepants clone that doesn't begin to suck after a few seasons.
Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack could be classified as a ripoff because of the main character, Flapjack. His personality is ver similar to Spongebob and Patrick. Like Spongebob, Flapjack is innocent, loving, 'helpful' and childish. He likes cuddles, hearts and hugs. Like Patrick, Flapjack is kind of retarded. On the other hand, his best friend Captain K'nuckles is Squidward clone. Both are grumpy and constantly annoyed by the actions of the other main character.

However, Misadventures of Flapjack succeeds in demarcating itself and improving upon the basic premises of Spongebob Squarepants. The animation and art is much better. There are many scenes that are reminiscent of the good old Ren & Stimpy cartoon. The various character personalities are much less cliche then in SpongeBob. Flapjack, K'nucles, Bubby and the rest of the gang are all given enough backstory and flesh to be interesting. I'd have to say my favorite Misadventures of Flapjack characters are Peppermint Larry and his candy wife.

I got to get off now. Goodnight!

Fun Incredible Hulk Facts

I have a long metro ride ahead of me so I decided to try and write as many facts about the Incredible Hulk comics and cartoons. I haven't seen the movie so I can't say much about those.
1. The Incredible Hulk was originally grey. I am not talking about Mr. Fixit. In the first issue of The Incredible Hulk, Stan Lee decided that he would be grey. The Hulk's color switched to green because of coloring issues.
2. Bruce Banner was named after his grandfather. His dad hated his his grandfather and hated the idea of having a child. The idea to call his unwanted son the same name as his father is hilarious.
3. There are tons of random Hulk types. I mean you have like three different She-Hulks, two Grey Hulks, bunch of random hulk type green villains and more.
4. Bruce's dad believed that his family was cursed by a monster gene. Isn't it fitting that his son would eventually become a monster himself.
5. The Hulk had three illegitimate children. His daughter Lyra was created by a 'She-Hulk.' By created, I imply that the Hulk never impregnated the woman (neither did Bruce.) The woman actually stole the Hulk's DNA and fertilised her womb. What a weirdo.
6. I'm getting motion sickness so I'm gonna see if I can save a draft.

Anime Soundtracks Suck

First, this is a general statement. I do know that many anime have pretty good music. However, the majority don't. This means I'll often skip the intro and never watch the credits for most anime series. I try to post comments on youtube videos to help others skip the intros of decent series like Soul Eater or Trigun. If you didn't know this already, you can watch most of the Funimation subs online legally on Youtube!  The quality is pretty good compared to some other subs floating online.
Anyways, I dislike anime music because it's mostly a mix of horrible Japanese pop punk or pop and weird Japano-Anglo rap. There are also hints of cheesy classical music and techno. I bet there is a genre of music called anime techno beats.
It's funny that the people in the metro are currently nerding about Naruto and ninjas. In case you were wondering, they are largish girls. They are not wearing cat ears or hats. I just got there seat as they left. If you can't tell, I'm trying to be creative because I'm not yet off the metro. Because there is no internet connection, if I attempt to publish this post now. The post is neither saved nor posted... I really am stuck typing until the end. I don't feel like loosing another post (I wrote one yesterday about Rick Trembles' Motion Picture Purgatory). I also waste this mornings post writing another post about Johnny Storm. I was cold and tired, I didn't remember that I already wrote about him and he is made of fire...
Awesome, I made it home.

Favorite Fantastic Four Character v2

It's so cold outside. I wish I was Johnny Storm, the youngest member of the Fantastic Four. I always think he is the son of Richard Reeds and Susan Storm, but I could be wrong. Either way, turning into a burning man seems pretty nice right now. It's freezing outside but the metro isn't too bad.

Johhny Storm has always been my favorite Fantastic Four. When I was 6, I used to think Johnny was a awesome name. Sadly, it has been soiled by Johnny Test. This hasn't changed the fact that Johnny Storm is my favorite Fantastic Four character. I'd rather be able to play with fire than have the ability to stretch alot, be ugly and strong, or the ability to creep on girls.

Ugh. Got to go outside again. I totally wish I could 'flame on.' It's weird how many stupid jokes you can make with that Johnny Storm quote.

Reasons Why I Am Not An Otaku #1

I can't like anime because of fanservice. In  case you didn't already know fanservice is a term used for those creepy anime moments. When Goku peeks under Bulma's skirt and the television audience gets a flash of her panties, Dragonball just offer a perverted service to its fans.

Don't get me wrong. I don't dislike anime. Some of the best cartoons are anime series. Yet, these Japanese animated television series rarely contain any fanservice. Neither Trigun or Samurai Champloo have scenes of questionable decency. In any case, fanservice has ruined some Japanese cartoons from becoming top cartoons. Take Soul Eater or Ninja Scroll. If friends had not told me they were good, I would have not watched them after seeing my first glimpse of fanservice. I think it takes only 5 minutes to see the ninja girl's breast in Ninja Scroll. That could of been passable because she is almost going to be raped. The scene where her boss is screwing a girl while she reports to him, not so much.

I might like Japanese culture, language, religion and art but I am no otaku. By definition, otakus must like fanservice. Next time I take public transit, I'll write about reason #2.

Favorite Fantastic Four Characters

I'd like to remind you all that this is essentially what I do on the bus. If I don't remember something or not sure of a fact, I won't look it up. I will most likely still assert it or invent something up.

Between that elastic dude, the Thing, Johnny flame boy and the Invisible Woman, Johnny has got to be my favorite Fantastic Four character. Why? I liked his name when I was a kid. I now know better but my inner child still thinks he is awesome. Either way, would you choose looking ugly, being stretchy or having the power to witness real life fanservices over being able to fly and shoot fire without burning your clothes. Unless you are an otaku, I doubt it. It doesn't help that Johnny is also cool and a boy. I think that last sentence might be sexist but comics in general are sexist and racist. Hooray for the white patriarchy...

I'm not even half way home and I'm already done. I guess I can talk about the only Fantastic Four villain that comes to my mind, Dr. Doom. He might be a Spider-Man or Iron Man villain but I'll assume he isn't. Does that make him my favorite Fantastic Four villain? I guess it does. I like him because he wears a green cape and has a metal mask. He should have replaced Leonardo DiCaprio in that horrible Man in the Iron Mask movie. I haven't seen the Fantastic Four movies so I can't comment. I doubt Dr. Doom  is in them because I heard they sucked.

If the Silver Surfer didn't have his own comic and animated series, he would probably be another of my favorite Fantastic Four characters. I mean he surfs in space and I can't even surf on a regular wave. Actually, I have never tried. I can't honestly say I can't surf yet. I do know I will never surf like the Silver Surfer though.

Anyways, this is my stop.
