Christmas 2013

Fun and family and lots of good cheer
Has made up my holiday season this year
I sit here and realize there's one more thing to do
To share some of that good cheer with all of you
So as midnight rolls 'round, I just want to say
Merry Christmas to all and a happy holidays

Movie Reviews - Ironman and Hulk: Heroes United

I usually enjoy the stuff that comes out of the Marvel Animation Studio, even if I think that the Marvel live action films, and the DC animated films are typically much better. The films to be released through the Marvel Animation Studio are typically good, but not really great. Their best, I think, was Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, which is the only one of the films that I was anxious to own after seeing it online. It was great, based on a handful of comic stories about an alternate future where Ultron conquers the world. In fact, Marvel Animation Studio seems to be most in its element when they are adapting a storyline from the comics. Both of their Ultimate Avengers titles were rather above average, even if they were based on the Ultimate Universe version of the story, which I am just one step above full-on detesting. Understanding this, maybe this movie would have been better had it been a direct adaptation of a comic story as well, rather than an amalgamation of one and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically The Avengers movie. The reasons why I think this movie is an absolute stinker (spoiler: I didn't like it, now you don't have to read the rest if you don't want to) are pretty numerous, so I'll be breaking this down by category.
