Gaze Upon This, Mortals!

  So, guess what? You know the upcoming Avatar spin-off, Legend of Korra? Well, they released the first two episodes of the series early online! WOOT!

Here's a link to the site!

  IT. IS. AWESOME. Seriously, I can't wait for the next episodes. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil it. Just.. just... just click the link and have yo' mind blown, darlin'!

  Seriously, click it.

UPDATE: Apparently, the episodes were only up for the weekend. Sorry. :( But, hey, it really isn't THAT long until April 14th, so...

  Hey, good thing I didn't post spoilers, right?

FROM THE LEGEND OF KORRA: THE CUTEST. THING. EVER!

  So, The new Avatar series, Legend of Korra, comes out April 14th (WHOO!) And I found a clip. It'd from when the current Avatar, Korra is little, and the White Lotuses are going to see if she's really the Avatar. And it has the awesomest/most adorable thing EVER!

 Oh, I'm going to like Korra...

UPDATE: Darn it, the poster of the video removed it... >:( Oh well, April 14th isn't that far away... :(

The 1st Annual Loveable Freak Flag Awards: Nominees *VOTING CLOSED*

   So, I saw the results of The Golden Globes (I couldn't watch them, NBC kept screwing up >:(...), and was displeased by the results. Mostly because 1) Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was not nominated (but maybe it wasn't out in time), 2) Superhero movies are NEVER nominated, 3) I rarely know what half the movies up are (It's usually the first I hear of most of the flicks), and 4) Two of the Animated Movie nominees I saw that I felt should have won (Rango and Puss in Boots) did not.

  And the Oscars are more or less the same.

 That's why I've decided to have my OWN awards! Featuring outstanding and entertaining moments and people/characters in movies, TV shows (read, mostly cartoons), and for the heck of it, video games.

 So, without further ado, the nominees for the 1st Annual Loveable Freak Flag Awards!

*Awards may not have all categories due to the creator of the awards not having any ideas for some "typical" award, :(, and some categories have more nominees than others .*

A Theory Everyone's Overlooking....

    I just remembered a fairly good theory I came up with that didn't make my ridiculous "RANDOM GUESSES 2" post. And I felt this one deserved a bit of back story.


   So, in the new Avatar series, Legend of Korra, there are metalbender cops. And the chief of the metalbender cops is Chief Bei Fong (no first name given for her). She is Toph's daughter.

  Now, there is a LOT of speculation surrounding Chief Bei Fong. Besides "Who's the daddy?", there's the whole "why does she have her mom's last name?"

    Two of the theories I keep hearing are "Maybe Toph was a single mother" or "Maybe her possible husband took TOPH'S family name instead". There may also be a theory she kept hers, but I don't recall it.

  But I think everyone's looking over the OBVIOUS answer....


  Chief Bei Fong kept her Mom's last name as a sign of how bad to the bone she is.

    Look into your feelings, you know it to be true...

  Think about it. Toph is the greatest Earthbender in the world in the first series. After all, she invented Metalbending. Now, if you were the DAUGHTER of the greatest Earthbender in the world, wouldn't you want the world to know? Show that you are NOT to be messed with.


  It would be a way of saying, "Hey! The blood of one of the undisputed greatest Earthbenders to ever live pumps through my veins! Do you really want to test your luck in a fight with me?"

  Anyone agree with me? Anyone disagree with me? What are YOUR thoughts on the "Bei Fong Name Debate"?

RANDOM GUESSES 2!!!!!!

   Yep, I have more WMGs. Just to recap: Wild Mass Guessing is something from TV Tropes that people post their guessings and theories for a work. They can be serious ("_____ is the traitor") or hilarious ("Perry the Platypus is Agent P" (true WMG)). So, like last time, Guess is in bold, explanation is regular guess.

Darren Criss Will Get To Cameo in Legend of Korra

 I thought I read somewhere that Darren Criss was an Avatar fan. But seriously, it'd be awesome to have a character that resembles Darren singing in the background.

Or alternatively...

Criss Will Get A Role in A Disney movie and/or Kingdom Hearts

  I know fo' sho' that he's a Disney fan. It would be SO FREAKING AWESOME if he was in a future Disney Animated movie. Especially a musical. Or in Kingdom Hearts, what with it being 50% Disney. And maybe, just to up the awesome of potential Darren-in-KH, he could get a scene with Jesse McCartney (who's pretty freakin' cool, surprisingly to my younger self, Lil' Freak) and Quinton Flynn (one of the undisputed awesomeset voice actors EVAH!)! I would die of the sheer greatness.

David Gallagher has a bit of a mancrush on Riku

  Five words: "Riku is a sexy guy". That is all. Just... watch the first few minutes of this old interview. (It even has a musical remix, for those interested, on YouTube!)

----


 Yeah, my guesses are a bit more meta and not a crazy as last time, the old ones were better. But still.


 EDIT: One more I remembered:

Riku is a Horcrux For Xehenort

  I watched the last Harry Potter, and I think this works. Maybe when Riku was possessed part o' old Norty's soul broke off in our boy Riku. Plus, there's the whole "Xehenort rhymes with Voldemort" thing. Coincidence, I THINK NOT!!!!

There. I'm done.

2012

  So, it's 2012. Well, if we're all going to die this year (which I highly doubt. There's evidence out there against it, but does anyone listen? Noooooooo....) it would be an awesome year to end. Because...

1. The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra comes out this year! (AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!)

2. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. That is all..

3. THE AVENGERS! THE AVENGERS! THE AVENGERS!


    Yup, the world may possibly end (which I still have skepticism about). But hey, at least it'll end with watching Legend of Korra on the Internet while playing KH:3D before heading to the movies to get my fill of Hawkeye, Black Widow and Robert Downey Jr.'s combined awesomeness. I'm totally content with that.

Infamous Movie Reviews: The Last Airbender

 Hello again, I decided to have a better post. Another INFAMOUS MOVIE REVIEW!

*WARNING: POTENTIAL RANTING*

 Tonight, I discuss the movie, The Last Airbender. In the beginning, when I heard about it, I was hopeful when they said M. Night Shyamalan was a fan of the series. I mean, he said he was, so what could go wrong? Really?

 Turns out, a lot. As one TV Tropes Troper put it:

"Supposedly M. Night Shyamalan approached the people behind Avatar to create a live action movie because he was such a huge fan of the show. Based on the outcome, however, you could be forgiven for thinking he had a seething hatred for it."

 Now before I begin, I'm not gonna address that "controversy". The movie probably would've stunk even if it had the "proper races".

 Okay, let's move on, and ignore my "possible controversy in the making up there", m'kay? We'll do this in a reverse order from my X-Men Origins review.

THE BAD:

-Changing how Firebending works. I mean, Firebending NEEDING A FIRE SOURCE? WHAT IS THAT MADNESS!? THAT'S. NOT. HOW. IT. WORKS.

- The whole "The Avatar can't have a family" thing. I mean, COME ON! THAT'S NOT PART OF THE AVATAR THING! In fact, if it weren't for AVATAR Roku HAVING A FAMILY, Zuko WOULD NEVER HAD EXISTED! *MIND BOMB*!

- That they seemed to try and cram too much in one movie.

- They dropped out a lot.

- All the mispronunciations of the names. I mean, COME ON!

- NO KOIZILLA! THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT JUST WOULD'VE BEEN THE AWESOMEST SFX EVAH! THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT ALL WORTH IT TO SEE LIVE-ACTION AND CGI KOIZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-The "Pebble Dance" is... really lame.


THE NEUTRAL:

-Changing the time Sozin's Comet comes. Incorrect? Yes. Necessary for a potential sequel (OH LORD NO) to have believable ages? *groan* Yes.....

THE GOOD:

- At least Iroh's awesomeness is enhanced by the "Firebenders Need Fire" Thing. He can bend without a fire source, and it is glorious.

-Well, Shyamalan DID fit in an impressive amount of stuff. Though, again, it dropped out/crammed a bit.

-That's it...

 So yeah, it stunk. If Shama-Llama-Ding-Dong tries to make a sequel, all I can say is Toph had BETTER be awesome. Who knows? Maybe "The Pebble Dance" will make Toph even cooler in comparison.

 Then again, I was optimistic about this movie.....

  I also entertain the idea that if Jesse McCartney had gotten to be in this, he would have somehow magically improved the movie. Like, he would have been all: "M-Dawg! This movie be trippin'! Fix it!" And M. Night would've have agreed, 'cause Jesse has a Keyblade. And connections. And is gangsta.

 Overall, this is not good. So I must subject my best friend to watching it so she can feel my pain. >;P.
