I’ve lost my edge. I’ve lost the creative spark, the drive and the motivation to sit down and attempt to write something meaning. Hell, I lack the energy to do a frickin’ meme. I need guidance, I need substance. Fuck! I need to get laid and box full of x-men back issues. I think social networking has killed the creative side of Tony. I can spend countless hours on Brightkite and twitter and drop a quick note but I have nothing else to say…
Just a quick entry stating that I’m returning and got some plans for when I do come back. So keep Monday in mind, but til then expect maybe one or two ‘Best Of’ posts.
Maybe I’m being a little over-sensitive but the following exchange struck a nerve with me. I was chilling watching the video for Beyoncé new single ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ and a friend of mines had IM’ed me on Yahoo!: Continue reading »
So I just recently came across some advance episodes of the new Marvel animated series, Wolverine & The X-Men. From watching just the first episode, you can tell that this series pulls a lot of its influences from the X-Men Movie Trilogy, the X-Men Evolution animated series and several poignant X-Men story arcs like Days of Future Past, and Joss Wheden’s Astonishing X-Men. Set against the de facto back drop of fighting for a world that hates and fears them, the X-Men find themselves lost without the tutelage of their beloved leader/mentor, Professor Xavier, whom along with X-Men long stay, Jean Grey, who disappeared in an explosion at the X-Men’s home, Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. With human-mutant relations escalating to a boiling point, its up to Wolverine to pull the team of mutants back together and save the world from the brink of destruction.
Without giving away any more spoilers, its great to see that most of the characterization is spot on; Cyclops is very brooding and lost without Jean, Emma Frost is a manipulative bitch, and Storm has a ethereal regality about her. While some of the characterization is great, some are not. Some mutant powers are either forgotten or not present for the art of story telling. Character back stories has been alter to either have it appeal to a broader audience or maybe to avoid continuity all together. But than again I could just be nitpicking. Either way I believe that anyone from the guy who remembers watching Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends growing up to the die-hard Marvel Zombie would be able to enjoy this series. Its just a damn same that it won’t be broadcast in the U.S. until January 2009 and on the Nicktoons Network of all places.
