Which Teen Titans VA Do You Want to Meet First?

I would love to meet all of them, but the one I would want to see the most is BB’s VA, Greg Cipes. Beast Boy has always been my favorite character in Teen Titans. He’s funny, kind, and a fun person. I’ve seen videos of Greg Cipes on YouTube and I follow him on Instagram. He seems like a cool dude and I would love to have a chat with him. Plus, he’s the voice of Michelangelo from the 2012 version of TMNT, and I love Mickey, so meeting his VA would be awesome.

Tara Strong is second since Raven is my second favorite character, and Tara has literally been a part of my childhood. I love her as Timmy, Raven, and Bubbles. She's great!

Khary Payton is next because I like Cyborg and he voices a character from Young Justice, Kaldur'ahm. His voice is just so unique.

Hynden is second to last because I love her as Starfire and Princess Bubblgum in Adventure Time.

I feel bad for putting Scott Menville last, but I don't know as much of his roles compared to Robin. Still would love to meet him though. 😊❤️

How I Would Write Jason in TOA?

Sorry if any of this feels disjointed. This is my first time doing a character and plot rewrite.

I think Jason had loads of potential to be a great character, but it was messed up in TBM. 

If you want more details, I wrote a post about my thoughts: https://www.tumblr.com/criminalmutantsins/698742446518091776/jason-grace-deserved-better-this-is-just-my?source=share

To add on to the post, I’ll explain what I would change. 

Jason and Piper are together in TBM, but there would be dialogue explaining how it was tough “starting over” their relationship(like Blood of Olympus very much hinted) and that they had to do individual soul searching before building a better foundation for their relationship. Piper would have doubts about their relationship and still question if Aphrodite and Hera’s interference is why they are together.

Piper’s father would still lose his money but earlier, so Piper would move back to Oklahoma. Jason would go back and forth between Camp Half-Blood, building plans for the shrines. They still communicate except as friends. This would give them time to individuate and learn more about themselves(they would be broken up). Piper would realize her bisexuality and become attracted to Shel. They date, but it only last for a few months because Piper still has feelings for Jason. Her doubts of the relationship are resolved; however, she waits so she doesn’t pressure Jason. Speaking of Jason, after working for months on the shrines, he wishes to take a break and start acting/doing things for himself(hang out with friends, relaxing, etc). Jason’s feelings for Piper are still the same and, after a while, he talks to her about it. They get back together with Jason going to Oklahoma to be closer to Piper and try living a regular life. This could be good representation on how relationships take a lot of work and time, but can be worth it when there is love and communication. 

By the time The Burning Maze starts, Jason and Piper have been together for a month and are a stronger team. However, Jason is having trouble adjusting to having a normal because of his sense of responsibility to be a leader and protector. Between the couple getting together and TBM, they find another entrance to the Labyrinth and Jason learns about the prophecy. Safe to say, he is really stressed.

Instead of the prophecy saying that either Jason or Piper would die, I would change it to either one having to make a great sacrifice. Jason would still fight Caligula. It would be monumental for Jason’s character, and a big fight. Jason would lose, though he would escape with the group with grievous injuries and would be out of commission for the rest of the book. These injuries would result in Jason being paralyzed from the waist down, sacrificing a big part of his identity- being a strong fighter, something he is mostly known for. Jason would have to learn to adjust to the change and further learn more about himself. Though, thanks to Leo’s skills and a battle-ready wheelchair, Jason can still fight, he decides to mostly stay in the sidelines and be a tactician.

Would Sylvie Use HWR’s Tempad To See Loki?

Note: I haven’t watched S2 more than once yet (life’s been busy) so if I missed something where Sylvie loses the Tempad then that’s why.

Since the only ways to get to the End of Time is to go through Alioth or use HWR’s tempad, I’ve been wondering if Sylvie would use the tempad to see Loki.

Personally, I don’t think so. Sylvie cares about Loki, but I don’t think enough to see it. Throughout S2, Sylvie was mostly disagreeing or getting upset with Loki and she didn’t want to see him after killing HWR. Also, I think Sylvie has this practical mindset where she doesn’t see the point of visiting him when she’s not going to stay. She could see it as painful for Loki since it could be argued that being exposed to something you desire then have it go away is worse than not having it at all since you’re used to it.

My Ranking of The Encanto Soundtrack(From Most to Least Favorite)

*The Encanto soundtrack is great and there is no song I dislike*

Here is my ranking:

1. We Don’t Talk About Bruno

I know it’s a pretty basic favorite but I don’t care. I love the music and the different singing styles. Plus, it introduced me to the movie. I heard about how popular this song and I listened to the audio and got hooked. My favorite parts are Dolores and Camilo’s, they are unique and great.

2. Surface Pressure

As someone who has anxiety issues and feels constant pressure, this song really resonated with me. The lyrics were also really, and I got sort of emotional near the end. Jessica Darrow does a great job singing this song.

3. Waiting on a Miracle

I also struggle with feeling out of place in my family so Waiting on a Miracle hit me hard in the feels. I don’t have a lot to say other than I relate to the lyrics and the desperation in Mirabel’s voice to make her family proud.

4. Colombia, Mi Encanto

This song gives me such nostalgia on the good times I had with my grandmother when I was little. And the beat is just so infectious.

5. What Else Can I Do?

Now we are at part of the list where I don’t particularly love the songs.

I don’t know why but I don’t feel much for this song even though it is well produced and the lyrics are good. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Isabella that much. She was a good character but I had trouble connecting with her troubles, especially when the way she was handling it was being mean towards Mirabel. I think I would’ve been more forgiving towards her if a reason for her anger towards Mirabel was addressed and that Isabella’s development was not so rushed.

6. The Family Madrigal

Weirdly enough, I’m not in love with the musical numbers that don’t focus on a specific character. I guess with We Don’t Talk About Bruno is like an ensemble song but the main focus was Bruno. The Family Madrigal is a great song for introducing all the characters in a fun way though I wouldn’t listen to it as much.

7. Dos Oruguitas

I’m not a Spanish speaker so it’s hard for me to connect with this song since it’s all in Spanish. Though, it fits perfectly with the corresponding scene, and I got pretty emotional the first time I saw the scene.

8. All of You

Like The Family Madrigal, I didn’t love All of You because it was an ensemble song. There were some parts are enjoyed like Bruno’s little rap and the small cute moments between the family. Mirabel finally getting a door was so sweet though.

Overall, this is a really cute ending song!

Comment your ranking and your thoughts on mine. 😁

MK1 Character Writing Review

I'm curious about other fans' opinions on MK1's character writing. Personally, I think it's improved most characters but there are some issues.

Ashrah: I'm happy she's back because Ashrah was the 3D-era character I wanted to return. I really like that they kept her story from the 3D era but improved it. I'm curious to see if she'll get corrupted by the Kriss in the next game.

Baraka: His story improved immensely. I never cared for Baraka in the previous games since he wasn't developed enough and was just one of Shao Kahn's henchmen. Baraka being a victim of Tarkat makes him more sympathetic and interesting. I hope he gets a happy ending but I think he'll die in the later games.

General Shao: I'm a bit disappointed in how he was written. I was hoping we'd learn about his past and how it affected his personality. Shao was born with a weak body, so I expected his father to be abusive by forcing Shao to go beyond his limits. This would cause Shao to believe being strong is the only thing that matters. Hopefully, the next story portrays Shao as more than a stock villain.

Geras: I really liked this version of Geras compared to MK11's since he's more than Kronika's minion. He's loyal to Liu Kang but they are friends/partners, and Geras wants to protect Liu Kang's timeline because he believes in its potential.

Havik: I was really interested in learning about Havik, his powers, and the Chaos realm. I was disappointed that Havik was a minor character and his powers weren't explained. I heard that there will be a story taking place in Seido/Order Realm so I'm crossing my fingers that we'll have a great story for Havik and other Order/Chaos realm characters.

Johnny Cage: His backstory and personality didn't change that much which I'm glad for because MK9-11 Johnny had one of the best character arcs in that era. I really enjoyed his bromance with Kenshi and his comedic moments were really fun (my favorite was the Alien reference).

Kenshi: Kenshi's story was already good but it was improved upon and explored further. Kenshi wanting Sento to protect his family from the Yakuza and bring back the Taira clan made me sympathize with him, and actually seeing how he loses his sight was horrifying and broke my heart. His bromance was Johnny was one of my favorite parts and I hope they are in future games together.

Kitana: I found Kitana kind of bland. Unfortunately, with her old goal of wanting to be an Empress going to Mileena, she lost what made her interesting. She felt more like Mileena's sidekick rather than her own character. Maybe that'll change in future games since she's a part of Mileena's council.

Kung Lao: Kung Lao was likable and enjoyable. I don't have much to say other than that. I want the next story to explore his ego/arrogance and why he has that attitude. Although I really like Raiden as Earthrealm's champion, I sort of wish Kung Lao was the champion since he's wished for that opportunity for so long.

Li Mei: Li Mei is an okay character. She's kind of boring since she's a "follow the rules" character. Her and Sindel's friendship was the most interesting aspect of her. Li Mei's powers are really cool though, and I'm a big fan of Kelly Hu (her va).

Liu Kang: Having Liu Kang as Earth's protector and Time Keeper made his character more interesting compared to him being the "Chosen One." I am slightly disappointed in the way he was written. I expected/wanted Liu Kang to be a neutral good character where he's willing to do bad things to keep the peace. They kind of did that with Liu Kang creating meaningless lives for Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi, but he was never called out for those decisions. I also wanted the other characters to start questioning Liu Kang about why there are still tragedies occurring and why doesn't he intervene. Though we get it in the battle intros, I wanted it explored in the story. The writing for how Liu Kang's time powers was also pretty unclear. The power's restrictions were never specified so it's not obvious which events in the timeline are Liu Kang's mistakes or not.

Mileena: Adored her in this game! I love seeing Mileena happy for once with a loving family and a good life. I expected her to be overtaken by Tarkat the whole but was happy to see her with a regular mouth for most of the game. Having her as Empress is really interesting and can't wait to see more of that.

Nitara: I really wanted to like Nitara, yet she's so bland. I thought we would learn about Vaternius, and see Nitara being a truly neutral character. Compared to the other 3D characters in the game, she was the most disappointing.

Raiden: This version of Raiden is way more likable than previous iterations. He's nice, humble, handsome, and strong. He's literally the perfect man! I'd like his anger issues from the previous iterations to be developed in the next story. His anger would get out of control after a tragedy and he feels like being more ruthless is more beneficial to protecting everyone.

Rain: I don't have much to say about Rain. He's kind of boring and was sidelined in the game. Maybe he'll have some kind of connection to Delia and Argus, which will introduce them to the new timeline.

Reiko: Reiko's okay. The only thing I'm really interested in is his relationship with General Shao and it's mostly me wondering whether Shao is capable of caring/loving someone.

Reptile: Love this rendition of Reptile! Like Baraka, Syzoth is more complex and isn't only Shao Kahn's minion. He has one of my favorite designs in the game and his backstory shows the issue of internal racism. The only thing I'm iffy about is his family that was murdered was his wife and son since that is very similar to Baraka's backstory to losing his wife and children to Tarkat. Plus, it's kind of weird that he moved on with Ashrah relatively quickly. I would've preferred if his family were his parents or siblings.

Scorpion: At first, I was a bit iffy about Kuai Liang being Scorpion but think it was a good choice since it makes the rivalry between the Lin Kuei and the Shirai-Ryu more personal. I'm excited to see how his and Sub-Zero's story moves forward.

Sindel: Good queen and mom Sindel is best Sindel! She was very likable! I had a feeling she would die in the story though her soul being absorbed into Ermac was unexpected. I'm interested in where this story will go.

Shang Tsung: I really enjoyed how sassy Shang Tsung was, and was glad he was the main villain after so long. The only thing I'm disappointed in is we didn't see more of his backstory. Also, the idea of Shang Tsung being evil all along NRS was going with was pretty lame. I wanted to see whether Shang Tsung was truly born evil or if was he made that way because of his hardships. It being the latter would've been intriguing because it means Liu Kang technically created Shang Tsung.

Smoke: Smoke is a sweetie, but didn't have much going for him. I was really interested in Smoke when he was in MK9 so I expected him to have his own chapter and develop. Maybe the Lin Kuei/Shirai Ryu war will give me that.

Sub-Zero: I hoped Bi-Han would be an interesting antihero instead of a generic villain. His betrayal is fine, but I wish he was more indecisive or slightly regretful of his choice since he lost his brothers. For example, when he slashed Kuai Liang's eye, I wanted to see him be regretful and sorry for hurting his brother. We didn't get that, which is one of the biggest disappointments of the story.

Tanya: I'm neutral with Tanya. Personally, her role and personality are too similar to Jade's. She felt like a totally different character who happened to have the same name as the original Tanya. Changing a character's story is okay, yet there should be some part of the original iteration that stays. I do find her and Mileena super sweet and I hope they live a happy life.

Why Do You Think Liu Kang Couldn’t Fully Remove Tarkatan’s Existence?

(If the answer is in Liu Kang's intros, I didn't know because I haven't seen all the character intros.)

I always wondered why Liu Kang had to convert Tarkatans from being a race to a colony of diseased people. It could be that a rule on making a timeline is you can't remove a significant aspect that's involved in every timeline.

I have a theory that Liu Kang tried to remove the Tarkatan race but couldn't because of the Hourglass' interference, so he believed that making it a disease that's hard to spread was the only solution.

I kind of wished that MK1(story or intros) hinted at the limits a Time Keeper has when making a timeline and being involved in it. Maybe I've missed that in the intros since I haven't finished watching them.

How I Would Write Ducktales (2017) Season 4(if it happened)?

Since I’ve seen a few fans talking about how they would write S4, it got me curious to know what you guys thought. I don’t have that much of an idea since almost every storyline was closed, but I’ll give it a shot.

So, my main plot point for S4 would be a sort of Scrooge redemption arc. If anyone has seen The Life & Crimes of Scrooge McDuck then you know what I’m going to be talking about.

Glomgold and Ma Beagle’s stories won’t be included since they weren’t particularly terrible. Though, they do show Scrooge’s selfish nature and non-accountability of how his actions affect people. What I will be talking about is Magica’s story. I don’t feel super bad for Poe and Magica since they terrorized innocent villagers, but what Scrooge did was not good. Magica was willing to through everything away if he helped her and Poe; instead Scrooge ridicules her and steals the villager’s money. Magica’s terrorizing could have ended right there. 

And that’s not even the worst part. Scrooge then took advantage of the villager’s situation to make a profit and left them once he was done. He didn’t help them or anything; sure he didn’t have magic but he could have at least tried. I was super annoyed when the writers swept those issues under the rug after this episode.

Actually watching Scrooge trying to fix his mistakes would be way more convincing than an apology (which was pretty half-assed, I must say).

Season 4 would be Scrooge’s season.

As for the main villain, maybe a group from that village who are still resentful towards Scrooge. They don’t have to be big villains like Bradford; just ones that affect Scrooge and his family.

I would also add Poe since he has so much potential and can give Magica some good development.

Donatello Headcanon. ROTTMNT/Marvel

Mine: Rise Donnie’s favorite Avenger is Iron Man/Tony Stark.

Donnie would love him since 1. He is intelligent, 2. Has a really cool lab, 3. Is majorly sassy, and 4. They have robot assistants. Jarvis and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N respectively.

That’s kind of all I have to say.

If you disagree, what do you think his favorite would be? 😁💜

The reason why I ship Bushroot and Liquidator together is because plants do need water and saw bits of interaction in the show (Liquidator always carries Bushroot). I also think the relationship between the two is cute 🥰.

After rewatching Justice Ducks and reading some fics, I grew to adore Liquiroot. They are great together and I wish they had as much moments as Quackervolt.

How I Would’ve Done the Webby Finale Twist

I finally was able to write this post. Sorry if it’s a little scattered.

If you have any feedback, please write them down. I would really like to have you guys’ opinions on this.

Thank you to anyone who likes and responds! 😁💕

                                …………………….

So, Beakley will be working for S.H.U.S.H extensively. She was married and had a child, but the relationships have soured. Her daughter and Beakley had a rough and distant relationship. Her daughter-I'll call her Rose- decided to join F.O.W.L as revenge against her mother. This broke Beakley's heart. Ten years before the show started, Rose was selected for a project called Project April. Alongside Scrooge's, Rose's DNA was used to create Webby. Rose instantly loved Webby and wanted to be a good mother. She decided to betray F.O.W.L. after she learned their plan to use the child. Rose called Beakley and told her to come stop F.O.W.L but was killed before she could tell the reason. Beakley tracks down the call signal to destroy F.O.W.L and save her daughter. She found her daughter's dead body and was willing to do anything to get revenge-even die. Before she could, Beakley found Webby and took her in, not knowing she was her biological granddaughter.

For the finale, all what happened to Webby would happen up until the interrogation. Bradford would show up and still offer telling her the truth if she helped. He revealed that he let Beakley take Webby because she was a failed experiment. The topic of Rose will come up bringing up how much she loved Webby and died for her. Webby would want to know what experiment she was made for, but Bradford told her she has to do something for him first. Webby steps into the room and the contract shows up; she takes it and desperately asked again. Bradford takes the paper and says, "You were made and abandoned for this. As a child, you failed me but now you helped me bring Scrooge's downfall. He locks her up. The reveal and the final "battle" occurs without change. Then, near the end of the episode, Webby and Scrooge talk about what happened, and she says, "Bradford said I was left behind because the contract didn't appear. What changed then?" Scrooge sweetly responds, "I don't know, but since rescuing Beakley together back then, I've seen you as family." Webby smiles and says, "Me too." This leave an open question on whether the experiment worked or was it the power of found family. Webby tells Beakley about what Bradford said and Beakley begins to cry out of knowing that, in some way, she didn’t let her daughter down

Thank you for reading! 😊💕
