Ember Schedule

Phew.. Been a while y'all 😊 2019 is rolling by as expected but there are still more things to look forward to from Marvel and DC for the remainder of the year, which is what this piece is about. I'll be compiling a list of everything from live action movies and series to animated movies and series that have been scheduled between September to December for fans to see and enjoy. SEPTEMBER Titans S2 Premiere Date: September 6, 2019 First on the list from DC Universe is Titans. Now in its second season, the show is focused on a group of young heroes with different abilities. This season has an ensemble list of characters from DC which is something that fans are really looking forward to given the solid foundation the show established in its first season. Season One introduced the likes of Dick Grayson (Robin - Batman's first mentee), Rachel Roth (Raven), Kory Anders (Starfire), Garfield Logan (Beast Boy), Jason Todd (Robin - Successor to Dick Grayson), Donna Tro...

Batman: Hush Review

Well, it happened.. An adaptation of one of Batman's interesting stories. And it really delivered right from the entire storyline with some changes to that of the comic to the voice cast's perfection. Now I knew they were not going to give us the exact thing page by page from the comic into scene by scene in the movie due to the differences in the universe the story is based on and the events that have happened before it. But the writers introduced a really nice alteration to the end of the movie, something we didn't get from the comic. A few hours before I saw the movie, I thought of something 🤔.. When I checked the Wikipedia page for the animated movie, I noticed that they revealed Thomas Elliot as Hush which is like a secret in the storyline. I kept wondering why they would spill such a secret but then again, it had already been spilled in the comic. Plus anyone can always get that information with a few surfing on the Internet. But I was thinking based on people ...

Hush Batman.. Hush! 😯

Wanted to write this ever since I read the comic book, then I'm online one day and I see the headline "Batman: Hush is getting an animated adaptation" , I was so ecstatic. Not just because I like Batman but because of the uniqueness of this story written by Jeph Loeb, penciled by Jim Lee, inked by Scott Williams and colored by Alex Sinclair from 2002 to 2003. I'm particularly fond of Jim Lee's art.. 😊😊 The comic book features an ensemble list of characters such as Batman, Catwoman, Alfred, James Gordon, Oracle (Barbara Gordon), Superman, Lois Lane, Nightwing, Robin, Huntress, Lex Luthor, Amanda Waller, Hush, Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Ra's al ghul, Talia al ghul, Lady Shiva, Killer Croc, Riddler and lots more. If you know DC to an extent, you'll know these are wonderful characters all pulled into one story. So how does all of this play out? Well, here's the link for the comic.. Hush is portrayed as a mysterious stalker who knows Batman...

"I'm Luke Cage" (Bulletproof Love)

Marvel's Luke Cage is such a compelling, deep and interesting story.. Something my brother watched recently that inspired this piece. One thing that won the hearts of several people including mine is the portrayal of the bad guys. Show's focus was on crime drama and it was greatly explored. I'm just going to give a kinda recap on the main characters and other root elements of the show. Luke Cage The protagonist , formerly known as Carl Lucas, son of a preacher .. Framed for a crime he didn't commit by his stepbrother (someone he considered as his best friend). Went to prison and was blackmailed into an illegal fight ring as a test for an experiment to create some sorta super soldier. It was an ongoing test for all inmates in which none passed, at least enough to go through the experiment. Luke had to be subjected to the experiment after he was severely beaten by two criminals as an attempt to stop him from exposing the illegal operations in the prison, thou...

A "good" villain makes a good story..

Lol.. Am I on the side of the villains now? Well, it's all fiction for a reason.. Okay, on to the content of the above topic. Have you ever wondered how your favorite superhero movie would be if the villain was all dry, soft and boring? You will certainly not call it your "favorite" right? Now this isn't meant to disregard the good guys.. We have and will always love them for their actions and perspectives. But really, you just gotta appreciate the bad guys' performance even if the character is portrayed as the ultimate bad guy or a lackey or a sidekick or a minion or whatever he or she or it is called.. 😆 I'm going to make this very simply by comparing two superhero movies.. One from MCU and the other from DCEU : Avengers: Age of Ultron and Justice League . Now this is just my opinion about the villains in the story. The presence of Ultron , a peacekeeping intelligent system built by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner which turned out to be the opposi...
