Marvel Anime/DC Reboot (again)

Okay so I know I haven't posted a blog up in a little while (sorry about that), so today I'm going to tell you about a new anime that I've just recently seen which is all about Marvel characters and some things about the DC reboot that I've forgotten to mention in my last blog.

So a couple of months ago, I found out that there was a Marvel anime on TV. Now I don't have cable, but I do have Netflix. So at least once a week I would check Netflix for the anime, but it never showed up. Finally I just gave up and decided to watch some other animes that I like. Then a couple of days ago, while I was at my grandaunts house, I FINALLY got to see it. Before I tell you what I thought about it, here's what the characters look like:
Wolverine:
The X-Men:
Blade:
Iron Man:
Okay now here's my review on the show. I think that the artwork is AWESOME, but the actual animation was terrible. I wasn't a huge fan of the animation mainly because well, when they talked they had zero face expression. Here's a video to show you:
Okay, there's a little bit of face expression, but not a whole lot! I still love the artwork though.

Now here's some parts about the DC Reboot that I forgot to mention in my last blog. Apparently Starfire I was right about. Harley Quinn isn't dating Joker because, well let's just say that he's, um, no longer living with a face. A villain called Dollmaker came in to Joker's cell in Arkham Asylum and killed Joker by cutting off his face. Here's the conversation Joker and Dollmaker had:
-Joker loses his face.

So now you know more about the Marvel anime and DC Reboot. Please comment and subscribe to my blog!

DC Comics Reboot. UGH!!!

I just recently found out about a comic reboot that DC Comics has been doing. Honestly, from my point of view, very disappointing. Some of my favorite DC characters, like Starfire, has been rebooted into characters that I don't know anymore.
Let me name a few:

  • Harley Quinn
  • Catwoman
  • Starfire (major disappointment)
  • Question (it's now a girl)
  • Flash (still Barry Allen, they just put lightning around him. I'm not disappointed with him at all)
So far that's all I have, but three of them really let me down.

Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Starfire have all become skanky, very skanky.

Harley Quinn now wears a super-short corset and shorts that look like they could be underwear.

In the Catwoman comics, you mostly see her with barely any clothes on.

Starfire used to be my super-heroine idol in the DC universe. Sure she had hardly any clothes on in the older comics, but at least she was friendly! Even in the Teen Titans show she wanted people to be friends. Her boyfriend used to be Nightwing, but now look at her. She's now dating Jason Todd (a.k.a. the Red Hood), sitting on beaches in a very small bikini, and asking Red Arrow (used to be known as Speedy) to be her little toy while she's dating Red Hood! Oh, and did I mention that she DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE NAMES OF HER OWN FRIENDS???

Yup that's right, she doesn't know who Nightwing, Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, or any of her other fellow Teen Titan members are!

Here's what Starfire looks like now:
See? Oh and here's Harley Quinn and Catwoman for you guys, too.

So, there you have it folks. The DC reboot sucked majorly when it came to the girls. I mean the other reboots I didn't mind because they didn't change their attitudes and they kept their costumes pretty similar to the originals. Oh, I almost forgot. Here's how I feel about the Starfire reboot:
