That is not my Job

I'm an English major and for my World English course I had to write an informal essay about my thoughts on the story of Job from the Hebrew Bible. I just finished writing it. I haven't even edited it yet. But I'm going to post it here. You can read it if you want or you can just wait until I post my thoughts on Zoom, but for now just click the keep reading to see my thought on some religious text. Also any advice you may be able to give on it would be welcomed.

Got to go Faster Faster Faster Faster Faster!

I don't know why Sonic X is in my head, but I think it fits well with today's topic.

The Flash season 2 is almost here. I for one couldn't be happier. Part of this comes from the all of the various casting they've made, or characters they've said will be in this season. While I don't recognize any of the actors I defiantly recognize the characters. Wally West, Jay Gerrick, Jesse Chambers, and Zoom.

For those of you not in the know let me fill you in. These first three are members of the Flash Family, other superheroes that work with the Flash(or have been the Flash) who are connected to the Speed Force. Jay is the first person to ever be the Flash. Wally is the first person to ever be Kid Flash and third to be The Flash. Jesse never took the title of Flash, but she is the daughter of some older superheroes and got her powers from them.

Jay is the one I have the most hope about. You see they're going with the original idea for the relationship between Barry and Jay. Namely they are both the Flash, but they're from different universes. With that in mind I want the episode were they meet to be called The Flash of Two Worlds in reference to the actual comic title where the meet.

Wally is the one I really want to see. Wally is not just my favorite Flash, but my favorite character in all of comics. So I'm really looking froward to seeing him in live action for the first time. I give my thoughts more detail in a previous post so go find that if your curious.

Jesse is going to be a new love interest for Barry. It makes me sad that a new character is being introduced just to be a corner in a love triangle, but what are you going to do? I will say this tho. I will like her a lot more then Iris. Why? Because I've liked every one of Barry's love interests more then I've liked Iris. I really don't like Iris.

You've probably noticed that I haven't talked about Zoom yet. That's because so much of Zoom is just speculation. All we have seen is a Blue streak followed by the words "Zoom is coming". This could mean so many things. So join me next time for part two were I'll talk about all of my ideas for Zoom and give my overall thoughts to the list of new characters.

Wow. That was really fun!

Earlier this week I made a post talking about characters I wanted in smash. One of those characters was the half-genie Shantae. While I was talking about her, I said I'd never actually played any of her games. That has now changed, and wow was that fun. I'm by no means a videogame reviewer, but Shanae and the Pirates' Curse is a very fun platformer.

I should say my experience with metroidvania games consist of Metroid Prime when I was 10. I didn't enjoy it. It probably didn't help that I was horrible at the game. So this is my first platformer of this kind I've played in 9 years. So I was a little nervous about getting into this game. Man was I surprised. I loved this game. Combat and platforming was really fun, but what I enjoyed most of all was the dialogue. This was a lot funnier then I thought it was going to be.

But I also learned the lesson of never playing the game when when my roommates around again. While I was playing it on my TV he came in with his friends, what they didn't notice was the amazing music, cool level design, or funny characters. They just said "She's got a nice rack." Sometimes I really hate my roommate.

Also the Flash thing will happen later. I'll start right that tomorrow.

Top 10 smash DLC charactes

It's been a while sense we heard anything about smash DLC (Most likely do to the death in the Nintendo family). As such I feel like making my own top 10 list of smash DLC fighters I want to see in the game. First to set some rules up front:
No returning fighters (Sorry Wolf)
No none-videogame characters
No videogame characters that have never been on a Nintendo console
No characters that are assist trophies
This list will be in no real order.

Dear CW's The Flash,

Don't you dare mess up Wally West.

My fear comes from the fact that you have made an African American man, Keiynan Lonsdale, Kid Flash. Now my problem is not that he is black like I assume a lot of people are. My problem is I'm afraid that the newest West's character will be based of off the New 52's Wally West who was also African American. New 52 Wally West is an angry black teenager who hates the Flash for putting Wally's father away in jail for being a supervillian. That is the beginning and end to his character. While you can make a character out of that, just know that it will not be Wally West.

Wally West is a science nerd and a Flash fanboy. When he gets super powers his first thought is to be a superhero. He's impulsive and doesn't think everything through. And above all he cares so much for his family. His wife, kids, other speedsters, and fellow titans all mean the world to him, and Wally will do anything to protect them. That is who Wally West is(minus the trouble of coming to terms with the fact that he is the Flash and and living up to what Barry had set for him).

So CW's The Flash we know that Wally can be done right. Look at Young Justice or Justice League. Both shows has Wally West as a main character, and both shows do the character justice.

I hope I have shown you that making Wally West into an amazing character is very possible, but let me make a quick warning before I sign off. If you dare mess up my favorite character of my favorite superhero I swear I WILL MAKE AN ANGRY POST ON THIS VERY BLOG! Maybe I'll even make a post on tumbler.

Love,
