Toriko X One Piece X Dragon Ball Z Crossover

Enjoy this 43:31 subbed anime of three prolific crossovers that the public surely knows without a doubt. With these kinds of crossovers, and I think the west can safely make this case with their superheroes, the most powerful characters are often watered down so that the other combatants can be on relative level of strength.

I'm perfectly familiar with the Devil May Cry series and saw the anime (which is C+ average at best). The games are good (mainly 1, 3, and DmC), but the devil thing in the DMC series is more lose than Spawn's world, which actually explores Judeo-Christian mythology with heaven, hell, angels, demons, and expanding on it with greater enemies of that nature. It's also lot more concrete and darker than the DMC series.

Actors Keith David and Richard Dysart(L.A. Law) were in John Carpenter's The Thing. Spawn was different because of McFarlane's artwork, characters and stories. McFarlane once stated(boldly)that Spawn was a better superhero than Batman. I don't know about that. These days, superheroes have pluses and minuses. Each one has something unique about them. Each one has a purpose for being. Spawn was one of them. I remember the music was done by composer Shirley Walker(Memoirs Of An Invisible Man, Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm and conducted the score for Danny Elfman's Batman). Why don't HBO try something like Spawn again?
 
There is suppose to be another Spawn series for HBO and there have been plans for it. However, there were a lot of issues with McFarlane's company trying to get the right people to make the new show work.

As for Spawn being a better superhero than Batman? Ehhh, that's all up for debate. But they did have a crossover and it was pretty entertaining.

Man Of Steel controversy


--Spoilers--





When Superman fights the bad guys in the movie, he does so amongst populated areas. Superman as a character is known for putting the ordinary citizens first, but in the movie he fights the evil Kryptonians with reckless disregard for human life. He literally levels buildings by throwing and punching people through them. He makes no attempt to move the fighting to less populated areas. Not counting the deaths that the Kryptonian machines cause, their still must have been thousands of death directly caused by Superman's actions.

However the worst part of it all, is the end of the fight. After Supes and Zod murder about 10,000 people and cause billions of dollars of damage. All of the sudden Superman gives a fuck about the innocent people that are being affected by his fight, so he takes lethal force to save them.

The 2nd worse part, is the sudden and jarring shift in tone at the end. With the destruction of Metropolis, we had a event that would have dwarfed the death and destruction of 9/11. Yet, there is no mention of the tragedy, there are no scenes were we see the repercussions of the violence. We don't see any scenes of Superman using his great gifts to actually rescue the people he put in danger. We get instead, a lighthearted scene of a guy asking Lois out on a date (two tickets to a game, in a probably leveled sports stadium :smt017) and the introduction of Clark as the newest member of the Daily Planet news staff. If this were a cartoon I might give it a pass, but the film makers claimed they were trying to make a down to Earth superhero movie, and in my honest opinion they dropped the ball.

I'm not the only person to notice this, which is why the screen writer, David S. Goyer, was forced to defend it in an interview.

"One of the things we were hoping to depict is that Superman is not a god. We say he’s a god-like figure but he’s not omnipotent. Even in the comic books he cannot save everyone. I think people die [in Metropolis]. Clearly hundreds if not thousands of people have died while the gravity machines are going off. There were probably even people who died in Smallville.

When you’re dealing with a threat like this, there will be collateral damage. This is something that hadn’t been depicted in comic book films is what it would be like if these powerful figures did clash, if The Hulk and Thor fought, people would probably die. Particularly in this case where Zod and the Kryptonians really don’t care if people die. I think people died and I’m sure that upsets some people."

Here is why his answer is bullshit. Avengers had a whole scene were we see how the fight affected the people. We even see a memorial wall being made to commemorate the victims. He's right that Superman isn't omnipotent, but that is the very reason he isn't suppose to be so reckless with his powers. I just think, the makers of Man Of Steel just thought that shit looked cool, and it never occurred to them how it would be percieved.

I discussed those same points with a friend. (Why he gave it a 7.5 or 8). This movie is nothing like the typical storylines for Supes. It seems to be worked totally different which made me think a little. This was a novice superman indeed. Did his love for humanity have to grow? Was that love overshadowed by the anger of the fight? (Hadn't learned priority). I'm just thinking outside of the box. As for the damage/deaths, who wants to put negativity on Supes.

The trend these days is to showcase the hero's journey. On that journey, the hero, even if he has powers, still has not had a full grasp of those powers. So the hero uses everything he has to overcome in battle even if it is at their own peril. If the hero survives, hopefully, he survived to learn from what he had been through. And in the case of Superman, he does, indeed, survive and he does learn. He may have super powers, but he does know that his powers can harm a human being.

This. Going by the content & context of the movie, this is a novice Superman just coming to grips with the full extent of his powers & what he can do. Never mind the fact he is facing for the first time individuals who have the same powers as he does. How and why is Superman suppose to automatically know what the hell he is doing if he was just starting out in this movie, unlike the 1978 version where he spent years in the Fortress of Solitude mastering his powers? And exactly how was Superman suppose to move the fight to protect the civilians, especially in Smallville, with the military & other Kryptonians involved?
