Tokyo, and our hearts, will never be the same again....again...

Armed with a huge tail and tiny arms, Godzilla is stomping his way into our hearts again.

You'll recall that, quite a while back, Godzilla took a mighty detour into weirdzville.

Not that it was ever not...weird...

Looking more like a Stegosaurus had a baby with a T-Rex and it came out with Bruce Campbell's jawline...

 Godzilla terrorized America's sweetheart, Matthew Broderick. 

Then, many years later, Godzilla got revamped!

It went to some sort of giant mutant lizard rehab!
It started to look more like itself again and we were all so proud of it!

Now Godzilla has been once again updated!
Looking more like itself than ever, Godzilla is back with us in:

Godzilla Resurgence!
(I see a "Resurgence" trend catching on... hmmm....)

Those beady little eyes are staring into our souls, gamelings...

our. very. souls.

Those tiny arms...
That enormous tail...
Those cactus-like back spikes...
That skin texture...

These are all features reminiscent of the original Godzilla.

This movie will be in Japanese theaters on July 29th, 2016!!

So, to our Japanese gamelings, WE ARE SO JEALOUS!!!

BIG MAYBE ALMOST SORT OF NEWS, WHOVIANS!

Usually I am not one to give in and throw myself onto the rumor mill in some crazy "I'm-Bringing-Martyr-Back" move. This time? Oh, this time is different (WAY different). As some of you may know, I am a Whovian. Doctor Who has been one of my favorite telly shows for ages and it has gotten me through some crazy rough times. Almost every Whovian has "their doctor"; the Doctor that has touched their lives, that they identify with, or even just one they find most appealing/humorous. Although "My Doctor" is, was, and forever shall be Tom Baker (The 4th regeneration of The Doctor), Matt Smith (Doctor #11) holds a very special place in my heart.

Matt Smith's 11th Doctor brings to mind:

Rainy days at home with my roommate and my kids

the whistle of a kettle

Steamy, milky tea

Fish Fingers and Custard (yes we ate it, yes it was delicious!)

making large batches of chips

marathoning seasons of Doctor Who at a time

running about with sonic screwdrivers and "fighting Daleks"

Cuddles

Warm blankets

Blanket forts

Themed birthday parties

Crying together on the couch when we lost a few of our favorite characters

In fact all of my Matt Smith era memories are fuzzy, warm, and full of emotion and life.

There were, of course, bad times. That is not, however, what we remember in the end. Sometimes I miss those days but here's the news, guys and gals... and all of you in between...

Steven Moffat has hinted that Matt Smith may be reprising his role as the Doctor when the current Doctor (Peter Capaldi #12) leaves. 

In an interview with The Mirror, Moffat stated that Smith was, "quite open about how much he misses it, and how much he wishes he hadn’t left." This, of course does NOT mean that he is going to definitely come back and once again live in our hearts as the Doctor...

The Doctor has never before reverse-regenerated in the entire history of the show. This is not to say that it is not in our future. In the 50th anniversary episode (riddled with cameos, happiness, and sunshine) it was hinted that the Doctor would be "revisiting a few favorites". This can be seen in our current Doctor, Peter Capaldi. He played a character in The Fires of Pompeii and it seemed significant enough to mention after the regeneration that he remembers the face but doesn't know why he picked it.

Whatever the case, I would be happy to have more Smith and more 11 in my life.

Tokyo Ghoul: √A Ghoulish Comparison

If you’re a fan of anime, there’s a lot of titles that you just know. Naruto. Bleach. Attack on Titan. But there’s one that has become a common household name that I had personally never expected. Tokyo Ghoul.

I’ve been a fan of Tokyo Ghoul since right around the beginning of the anime. It began simulcasting through Funimation during the summer season in 2014, with a second season, Tokyo Ghoul √A, making its appearance in January of the next year. Days after finishing the first season, I delved straight into the manga, which in turn, destroyed my ability to stop reading the manga.

If you’ve read the manga, you know where I’m about to go with this. If you haven’t, be warned, there are spoilers beyond this point.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first season of Tokyo Ghoul ends in the middle of an incredible climax and a decision Kaneki has made, which leads into yet another decision at the beginning of season two. Ken Kaneki has come to terms with who he is, allowing himself to be consumed by the ghoul within him. As season two begins, he’s made the decision to join the very people that tortured him past the brink of death and back again. Which… doesn’t really seem to make any sense once you’ve read the manga.

Kaneki makes his decision. Kaneki allows the ghoul inside of him to reign. But what holds significance is the choice Kaneki makes once he’s out of the walls of Aogiri. He leaves, but it’s not with Aogiri. It’s with his own group that comes together to try and take down Aogiri because Kaneki can see exactly why Aogiri isn’t the right choice. It’s pretty much plain as day here.

This is the main issue with the anime, but there are plenty of others. Side characters are treated two-dimensionally, whereas in the manga they’re given so many details to flesh them out; important plot points in the manga are still left in the anime, without any explanation. Kaneki was treated as a mystery the entirety of season two, but he was given so much character development during this arc in the manga that it’s almost unfair. And of course, let’s not forget the most important scene in the manga that was left out so that the anime would be left with a cliffhanger. Kaneki’s final, decisive battle against Kishou Arima.

The Tokyo Ghoul anime is a train wreck, to put it plain and simple.

So let’s talk about Sui Ishida for a moment. The author behind the manga. The way he writes his stories. The tarot numbers he throws into the manga to tell you where the story is going to go. The hints within the first chapters of Tokyo Ghoul, that continue into the manga’s continuation, Tokyo Ghoul :Re. The incredible characterization of more than just Kaneki, but Juuzou Suzuya and Karen Von Rosewald.

I’ll end it here, but to put it simply: if you’ve watched the anime, trust me and the entire fandom when I say: please read the manga. It’s some of the most incredible storytelling you’ll ever read and it will pull you in faster than the anime did.

& A quick PSA: the changes in the anime happen right around chapter 65.

Wonder Woman, indeed!

Stuntwoman Jessie Graff has become the first woman to defeat the 14.5 foot warped wall and finish the qualifier in the Los Angeles Qualifiers for American Ninja Warrior! 

Why do I call her wonder woman?

She did the whole thing dressed as Wonder Woman!

To me, other than the record-breaking wall climb, the most impressive part was the I-Beam Cross! She climbed her way across like a Capuchin monkey and never stopped smiling!

Just watch for yourself!

Congratulations, Jessie!
Go celebrate! You've earned it!
