October Reviews: Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice
Alright, here is October's take on this movie. Let me say a couple things before we really get into my review on this movie. Shoutout to @redapple615 for her awesome reviews and her blessings on me going forth: check her stuff out if you haven't.
I am terrified to talk about this movie sometimes. The fans both praising and hating this movie are rabid and I have simultaneously been called a purist, hipster, comic fanboy who is absolutely against any change; and a bandwagoner, comic movie lover, who does not know <your favorite explicative here> about DC comics...the comics I grew up reading and continue to read.
I will include a lot of detail in this review some spoiler free and some of it not (but he will clearly mark what is spoiler and they will be separate). I would like to keep the comments spoiler free but I can't guarantee that will be feasible. I'll gladly spoiler talk to anyone through messages.
I posted another card talking about my beliefs on changes in movie adaptations but I will readdress as necessary and for points of clarification.
Now let's get into it shall we?
This is it. The starting point for DC's extended cinematic universe. The building block all future movie will be based around. Yet another movie that have critics bashing it, fans divided, and comment boards flooded with arguments.

OctoberHymns@Ticasensei I liked the cameos but as far as impacting the plot or driving anything in this movie they didn't have purpose. They are to build hype for the Justice League movie and that's fine but I'm judging how well this movie can stand on its own.
I've heard that Eisenberg was originally the Riddler and I think that would have been a much better role for his performance.
I'm not saying you can't like this movie. There are things I did like in this movie but the flaws were just too much for me enjoy it and the changes to the characters were too far off base for me.
Movie Reviews
Ok I know Redapple already does this (and she does a fantastic job) and I do not want to seem like I'm poaching her ideas, but as a huge comic fan and especially a Batman fan. I'm planning on doing a review of Batman Vs Superman when I see it on Tuesday.
Apart from that however, I would also like to do reviews of multiple other comic book movies I've seen. DC, Marvel and others. Live action and animated. It's all fair game.
Provided it doesn't seem like movie review overload.
Logo Version 3
I added to the second group of logos, yes it lacks Umbreon but I managed to get a...subtle...Pokemon reference in there. As always let me know what you think
A. B. C. or D.
Also including smaller October Hymns logos for when the small bit is called for.
Pokemon Sun and Moon Concerns
Ok guys and gals and everyone those don't cover,
I'm sure you've all heard speculation about what possibilities Pokemon Sun and Moon may have for us. One theory is Pokemon/human fusion that was seen in the Pokemon ExBurst manga.
Some evidence that gives this theory steam is the Ash-Greninja from the anime (which is ridiculous by all measure), the Japanese logos have a crystal that look similar to the ReBurst crystals and X/Y had the Mega evolution symbol in their Japanese logos, and in Pokemon X/Y there is an NPC talking of long ago stories that tell of a Froakie turning into a human.
I want to know your thoughts, if you have any, on the matter. Personally, I hate the idea. Pokemon is not Digimon and that seems harder to defend anymore and with the human fusions it seems even more like Digimon. Also, human fusion with Pokemon is just...dumb. Pokemon has been about forming a bond with your Pokemon and working as "one" to accomplish goals but it kind of defeats the purpose of you become your Pokemon. You're not really working together at that point.
From a game perspective. I'd think that would limit character customization a lot and that is a feature I love in Y version. Plus it pits even more team restrictions with a mega evolution, a fusion Pokemon, and now the other four need to go around those two.
Yes I know ReBusrt is not canon and not tied to other Pokemon products as of yet, and it seems silly to worry about a game that was just announced but it's 12:30 and I'm on meds fighting a sickness and wanted to make a card.
Bio
Otaku, gamer, veteran Pokemon trainer, writer, artist, and all around nerd. I like grim and Gothic things, dark humor (really all humor) and food.
I often talk to myself and have names the voices in my head; they interrupt me and are normally the people talking in my parentheses.
