Iron Fist is NOT appropriation!!!

A Closer Look With 
Corey SaltyTruth Floyd


 The last piece of The Defenders team Iron fist will be coming out this month on Netflix. It's about a young man being bestowed with martial arts skills and and a magical technique called the Iron Fist.The character is being played by Finn Jones most remember him as Loras Tyrell from Game of Thrones and now he’s covered in Marvel Magic. But as we lead up to the shows release I keep seeing the following trend online “Why isn’t he chinese? I thought he would be asian! This is Appropriation man!” Now at first glance I can see where they are coming from, but it's a good thing I know a thing or two about Iron Fist. He was created in 1974 a few years after Luke Cage. As a child he was blessed with amazing powers and Learned Kung Fu. Now I get what you’re thinking “I don’t see why he can’t be Asian” right? Well that's where his antagonists come in. Most of his enemies  are actually out to get them because he has the great power and he's not even Asian. So, even in the comics they are trying to kill him just for being white and being given special abilities plus a whole lot of other reasons that I don’t want to get into. I want you guys to see for yourself. I had to write on this because I think people are not being informed when it come to comic book characters and they say things like he is supposed to be asian. Sidenote!! Scarlett Johansson is not whitewashing “The Major” in the upcoming Ghost In the Shell film. Why? Because the Character has no identity no actual name to associate her with anyone so she can be either white, black, asian, etc and it doesn't matter or mess with the narrative. To wrap up, I hope everyone learned a little something today we need to do a little research before we play the race card. Because if you wanna call appropriation watch GODS OF EGYPT. Peace

A New Def Jam game maybe? Roster Ideas by Corey Floyd

over the past month or so DefJam has been throwing some hints that they might make another fighting game. About two console generations ago (ps2, Xbox, GC) there was a game from EA BIG called Def Jam Vendetta. It was a wrestling style game but with hip-hop artists. DMX would literally kick your ass. Redman & Method Man was the best (and still are) tag team ever. It was a hit !! The follow-up fight for NY was a great sequel with even more artists in fighting form. Then the third one was garbage, hot garbage simmering in garbage juice. It bombed hard. Now it looks like we might get another. Bosslogic even came up with a title. Today I'm gonna come up with who should be in it. Some old, some new, some more gals, and some new dudes. 1. Missy Elliot Missy Elliot has been in the game for a long time. Somehow despite all of her hits, she has never been given the title of queen of hip-hop. In the game, she could be the queen of mean. Give her a footing style that matc

Scissor Seven on Netflix Stream or Skip

STREAM OR SKIP?   Scissor Seven is a Chinese animated series that was streamed in 2018 with the name of Killer Seven. As soon as Netflix streamed this show at the start of 2020, it became a hit globally! With the increasing popularity of Anime, Netflix has created a whole Anime library for anime fans. Scissor Seven is the first Chinese anime being streamed on Netflix. It’s a serious debate on whether to call it an anime or not, but I won’t get into that discussion for now.   Why Should You Watch Scissor Seven? If I needed to coat only a single thing in the list of why you should be watching it that would be the COMEDY! It is hilarious! Seven might not be the best killer, but that Goofy-head is the best entertainer for sure! It is a hilarious satire on the whole hero business, as we can how Seven is nothing but a Professional Goof! Scissors is his ultimate weapon on which he uses his telekinetic abilities. Every Hero needs a sidekick, here our sidekick is an angry bird with
