A look at the next King

Wealth, fame, power. If someone where to travel the world and find the legendary treasure, the One Piece, they would have all of that and anything else the world had to offer. One such person is the young Monkey D. Luffy, but he doesn't want the One Piece for any of those reasons. Luffy wants to find the One Piece for the sake of it. Luffy can very easily come off as a simple man because most of the times he is. He wants to eat a lot. He wants adventure. And he wants to follow his dream. But that's not all their is to him. Digging  little deeper you can find a man with an interesting look on people, life, and goals.

Let's start with people. Luffy is very friendly, and can make friends easily. He will also go to great lengths to protect them. What is more interesting is when he will protect them. Luffy goes through life giving it all or nothing, so he respects others who do so as well. What he doesn't respect are cowards. People who won't stand up for something they believe in. Now he understands that not everyone is as strong as him, but he doesn't think that should matter. The way he sees it is that standing up for something is the first step. Luffy will handle the next step. Namely kicking the ass of whoever stands in his friend's way.

Luffy says in episode one that if he dies then he dies. As long as he died following his dream then he has no regrets. Luffy is always willing to risk his life in a battle. He also has an amazing will to live. These to treats create something truly powerful. He is a man who won't quiet until he dies, and he refuses to die. He will also needlessly put himself in harms way to protect people. He get's up set when he can't protect the people he cares about.

Luffy along with everyone on his crew have goals that they want to achieve. But Luffy isn't really interested in his goal. Don't get me wrong. He wants to find the One Piece and become the King of the Pirates, but searching for treasure isn't about the treasure for him. Luffy loves adventure, so he will get side tracked a lot to chase various legends. That's why Luffy is actually looking for the One Piece. It's the biggest legend their is. When Luffy do find the One Piece and become the Pirate King I would not be surprised if the very next thing he does is set out for sail to look for a brand new adventure.

The problem of the first season of Pokemon

Ash very rightfully lost the Pokemon league. Look at all of the gym badges Ash got while he traveled. Now think how he actually got the badges.
1st Badge: Sprinkler System took out Onix
2nd Badge: Team Rocket interrupted the battle, but then Misty's sister gave him the badge
3rd Badge: Won in an actual fight, but with Brock's plan and instructions
4th Badge: Made Sabrina laugh
5th Badge: Ash was loosing the battle, but he saved the gym leader's Pokemon
6th Badge: Actually Won
7th Badge: Won once again
8th Badge: didn't actually fight the gym leader
Ash only earned two of his badges the correct way on his own. No wonder he lost so badly. He shouldn't have been able to even make it to the Pokemon League in the first place.

Omiverse Oversight: Third Time's the Charm

This is a new kind of article were I will talk about how Ben 10 Omiverse could have been so much better. Today we will be stating with the episode Third Time's the Charm. The main thing I will be talking about is a new character introduced in this episode, Bezel. Bezel is the creator of the Charms of Bezel  which where powerful magical mcguffins in season one. Bezel himself is the most powerful magic user of all time. But here is the catch. He doesn't actually like magic. This raises to very important questions. Why does Bezel not like magic and how did Bezel become the most powerful magic user ever?

The first question is actually answered in the episode. He doesn't like how magic just does things. How their is no logic. He just can't stand it. This makes you have to ask the first question even more. Why did Bezel even study magic to the point where he is basically all powerful? Now their are to ways to look at this. The first is that he was just born with a lot of magic power like Gwen. But that's...kind of boring.

Let's make things more interesting. Bezel was a man who wanted to learn about the world. So he studied all he could. In time he found his way to a power that could change anything, magic. But Bezel was not interested in power; he wanted to learn. So he began a study of magic. He was prepared to find out how magic works and find the logic behind it. Through he researched he slowly gained power from the all the knowledge he gained, but none of it was what he wanted. He learned how to do many great things, but he never was able to figure out why magic did what it did. He came to the conclusion that magic doesn't have logic to it. So he turned his back on magic not wanting to interact with such a chaotic force. After he left the world of magic he discovered something different, the world of magic tricks. These people would stand in front of a crowed preform wondrous acts, but not by breaking the rules of the world. It's a trick. Bezel loved this idea and spends his life enjoying that.

Did I just write fan fiction? Yes I did. But like I said How Bezel became so powerful is never explained. It could have been so interesting, but no. He was just a janitor for some reason who played with magic cards.

PokeSins

I don't like Cinema Sins. I have only watched a little, but it seem a lot more mean spirited then it has to be. Something I do like is Pokesins. It's basically Cinema Sins but with Pokemon episodes. I should say at first. Pokesins quickly became more then just a copy. Instead of counting all of the negatives it also points out the positives in an episode. It then scores it relative to every other episode that has been done. It is a lot of fun and seems to me at least that it is a lot friendlier.

You can find the first episode here.

Leatherhead

One of my pet peeves when it comes to TMNT is when people talk about Leatherhead as a villain. Now I get Leatherhead was a villain in the 1987 TV series, but I wasn't born until 1996. My original viewing of TMNT was with the 2003 series, and in that series he was an allie to the turtles. What's more in the 2012 series he is also an allie. Now I believe people can be a fan of something without watching/reading/liking everything in a fandom. I consider myself a Static fan even though I only know him from the Static cartoon. Like I said this is only really be pet peeve. I just wanted to voice my annoyance.

I am tired

So I just got out of the shower. I checked all the locks. I turned off the lights. I jumped into bed. I was thinking about what I may have to do at work tomorrow. Then a thought passed through my head. I pulled myself out of bed say "Shit. I still have to write something today.

So Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening is an interesting character. She came back through time to save the world. But what a lot of people don't think about her is her scary amount of determination. She is obsessed with completing her mission. She won't let anyone get in her way or have anything stop her. Lucina will even go so far as to kill Robin how could be her Husband or even her Mother. While she did hesitate, it was only because of Chrom that Lucina didn't kill Robin.

Now it's the end of the game. The mission has been completed. What happens next for Lucina. Does she continue on with the Shepherds? Maybe she uses that same determination to protect her country. Or mayb she leaves. She has completed a mission that had escaped her for so long. Would Lucina even see herself as having a purpose anymore? Maybe after the final battle she would just continue on just trying to find meaning in her life again.

That was actually the characterization of Lucina from a fanfic I'm reading. I think it's an interesting look on Lucina. Also Pit is there and I love me some Pit.

Willis Week Bonus: It's Pregnancy

David Willis and his wife Maggie are going to have a twins. With this new life experience the Willis family have now been getting ideas for pregnancy related jokes. Sadly the only comic Willis is working on, Dumbing of Age, has no characters expecting a child, so the joke he's coming up with can't be released. To remedy this Willis has opened up the original universe once again to show Joyce and Walky going through the coming months until their first born son Bobby is born.

I was half tempted to not even talk about this. Mainly because their is nothing to really talk about. The focus is all on the humor. Characterization is the same as it was in Joyce and Walky. The art and coloring is simple so Willis can quickly make one when he gets an idea. He doesn't post regularly. He only posts when he gets an idea. I think it's funny, and I'm really happy to see my OTP of Joyce and Walky again. But that's really all their is to this. I'm only really talking about this so I can catch u on the update I missed.
