Young Justice Season 3

Amerime Media Young Justice season 3 By Corey FLoyd Back in 2013 we had to say goodbye to hit TV show Young Justice.  But why? It was a top watched show on the network. Believe it or not what killed the show was toys. A toy company was paying for the show to help push their toys. Ironically the toy line sucked mainly because there was a higher demand for the female characters and the company  didn’t want to supply. So going into Season 2 Greg Weisman and staff knew that this was the last season. So they gave it their all and gave us a great season finale with a amazing reveal at the end making us want more. So we told them we want more by doing what we do best complain and spend money, but mainly spend money. Season 1&2 of Young Justice were very hot DVD buys. Netflix added the show to its streaming service and viewership was and still is fantastic. So after the fans let their voices be heard Young Justice is coming back. After seeking out Greg Weisman on twitter

Marco Cancelled!

MARCO CANCELED!! By Corey Floyd Sad to say that of all the Netflix original shows Marco Polo is the first one to be canceled. Yes, folks, out of the forty plus original shows this one failed first. Season one immersed us in a new world and the ratings reflected it. There was conflict, betrayal, and violence. I t was being compared to HBO’s Game of Thrones but obviously based more in reality with splashes of history dabbled in it. The Weinstein company who produced the show reported a 200 hundred million dollar loss. Harvey Weinstein was quoted saying   “Netflix has been incredible to give us the room to make a series with a cast true to every principle of diversity. It’s a bold network that allows you to do that and support us in the way that Netflix did. As many people know, Asian history and the world of martial arts have fascinated me for all of my careers — I’ve made many movies around these topics and this genre, and now this TV show I’m so proud of. John has been a

The Award Goes To… Deadpool?!

Amerime Media The Award Goes To… Deadpool?! by Corey Floyd It’s that special time of year in Hollywood where they announce the nominees for the Golden Globes. This is the playoffs in Hollywood and the winners here mostly go on to the Academy Awards. So surprise surprise when I heard Deadpool was up for best picture in a comedy or musical and Ryan Reynolds has been nominated for best actor in a comedy or musical. This is a very big deal. In my opinion this has definitely shaken up the comic book movie bubble. This the first big nomination for a comic book movie that is not about visual effects. I don’t count Heath Ledger Oscar for the Joker cause they already announced he was gonna get it before the show because he died. For years comic book movies have only been shoe in for visual effects but now a movie has passed that threshold and has been nominated for best picture and on top of that the lead is up for best actor. This is al

My two Gils on Final Fantasy

Never have I been more excited about a Square Enix games since Final Fantasy X.  With their latest installment XV it’s like a breath of much needed fresh air into their franchise.  When you start the game the opening words reads for fans and first time gamers alike. Which makes the game friendly to folks new to the franchise, and old heads like me. Again I haven’t played Final Fantasy so passionately since X and I got to say it’s like riding a bicycle. My brief history with the game… My first Final Fantasy game was surprisingly not the one everyone seems to remember or even care about.  I was too young to understand the 16-bit game. VII AND VIII were amazing for their times, but I just had no interest at all for them.  It  wasn’t until IX  that I fully engaged in a Final Fantasy story. Being a rouge inside of a game was the best time I had playing an JRPG in ever. X was the first to have mostly speaking voice lines so I had to play that. Honestly the rest afterwards just didn’t seem

Game of Thrones premiere

Game of Thrones season six premiere started off like no one expected... Slow. Yes I said it, and I'm not ashamed, episode one honestly was a soft refresher of what happened last season, few interesting developments did happen which I will go into later, yet over all we knew most of the things that was going to happen. First let's start with Jamie coming home with his dead daughter and Cerce’s obvious reaction. Arya little blind girl on the streets of Bravos now being trained without her vision. They showed us Tyrion walking the streets finding the problems of Mareen from the ground level. No pun intended. Ramsey, oh you bastard, Ramsey, he feeds his dead girlfriend to the dogs. Daenerys is with the Dothraki people about to be shipped to a widow's mansion. Lastly, Sir Davos is keeping Jon's body safe and he should expect help from wildlings.  The following are the things we had no idea was going to happen. It was shocking, but not important to the main story. Brianne s

DC Continuity Issues

So with Batman v Superman out of the way and Civil War coming up, people can't help but compare and wonder why is DC so late trying to catch up? What if I told you this is nothing different then what happened before? In the late 80's early 90's, Tim Burton's Batman was the best comic book of all time and what did DC do to capitalize? They made cartoons! Batman the animated series is still to this day considered one of the best cartoons ever and for good reason, it simply rocks. Marvel witnessed the success of Batman and started cranking out cartoon show after show with such titles as Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Hulk, X-Men, and Spider- Man. Starting to sound familiar? Marvel wasn’t satisfied with just raining down shows on the happy geeky masses, it decided to bounce around characters from show to show; Spider- Man started to appear on X-Men, and vice versa. Now it was time for DC to catch up, and catch up they did. They came out with

My review on Batman Bad Blood

Fresh into the new year DC Comics has given us the third installment of Batman’s animated movie, “Bad Blood.”   It contains the story of Batman and the family since the first movie “Son of Batman” and follows a few months after the events of the previous movie, “Batman Vs Robin.” The last couple of movies has not been about Batman. Instead, it focuses on the supporting cast, and charges them with the ominous task of carrying a movie without their main star, and the question is, can they?   This movie is not shy on the action .   From beginning to end it throws fights at you left and right.   It can feel a bit dizzying at times with all the various fight scenes , but after a while, it settles to the point where you can still know what’s happening.   The more I watch these movies, the less Batman it becomes.   Sure he’s there, but he doesn't do much.   Cassie Kane, Dick Grayson, Damien Wayne, and newcomer Luke Fox is the meat and potatoes of the movie. Obvio

Thoughts on DC Legends Of Tomorrow

Review written by Antoine Johnson aka Tony Newport writer and artist for Amerime Media 1/22/16 What can I say? as a fan of both shows Arrow and The Flash I can say that this is one of DC's ballsiest  shows to date. I'm completely caught up into the lore of these characters, their origins, their struggles, and the things they had to do to get to where they are. I wonder if the many people who have stopped watching or never seen DC's Arrow will The Legends Of Tomorrow be a show that they can get into and not feel lost and confused?  The CW thought they were clever by scheduling a recap episode of the characters to draw you into the show without prior shows knowledge and expect you to care instantly for them and be excited. I remind you that they have been advertised for over a year now and yet the question still remains, do people even care? I say they should be because how many times do people really need an origin story shoved in every show we get? Not

Is Saitama the One Punch Man the strongest character ever made?

Everyone knows by now who Saitama is, The One Punch Man. The one thing everyone wants to know is, I'd the strongest character ever created? Now, in my opinion, I can honestly say no, and here why. Strength and Power are two separate things all together. I've thought a lot about this and came up with the conclusion that Saitama is strong, but he's not powerful.  Again let me explain. If you watch throughout the series, you notice bits of limits he stated or shown he couldn't do. So far he can't fly, yet can fall a great distance without injury, He's speed is not fully measured, he can't breathe in space, and aliens seem to be the only creatures to give him a challenge. Giving those facts we see how would he compare to other characters from well-known comics and anime to see where he stands. First Goku, can he beat him? My answer I see it as being a fair fight with Saitama on top, barely. He is strong I give him that but again his speed is not
