Sci FI Month:Why X Men the Animated series is awesome

So I binged the entierty of X Men the Animated Series and I intended to make an epic review with episode reccomendations,annnnnd it ended up too long ,so instead I am going to go over reasons why this show is Great and has an enduring legacy

1.X Men in general as a franchise has tons of characters to choose from and I think it is so wise of the show that they limit it to 9 core characters,while some fan favorites get really good guest appearences like Nightcrawler

2.The Characterization and relationships are top notch ,every character gets a spot light and each character has layers ,with each character having their own demons.Even Professor X who couldve just been the mentor figure gets fleshed out to where you understand why he does what he does .Oh if you wanna know who my fave characters are:Storm,Wolverine ,Gambit, and Beast

3.The villains are varied ,from the anti villainous Magneto ,to the brutish Juggernaut ,to the bigoted Graydon Creed ,to the sadistic Sabretooth,to the complicated Mystique ,to the cold Mr Sinister to (My favorite ) the bombastic Apoclaypse

4.As a comic adaptation I think its fun that the show doesnt limit itself to one period of X Men but pays tribute to 30 years of comics:The designs are Jim Lee inspired,they pay tribute to Lee and Kirby,the stories pull a lot from Chris Clairmount ,and several episodes were written by comic legend Len Wein

5.The show doesnt have the biggest budget but with its shading ,strong character designs and editing it still holds up rather decently

6.Voice acting is all around solid,Cal Dodd,Lenore Zahn,George Buza and John Colicos are the go to voices for Wolverine,Rogue,Beast and Apocalypse to me

7.The series is serialized with a conitinuity,which while common with modern cartoons,was kind of a new thing back then.We can thank this show for changing how action cartoons were done.Also each season has a distinct feel with the first three having story arcs(The Sentinels in season one,Magneto and Xavier trapped in the Savage Land in season 2 , andDealing with the aliens known as the Shiar Empire in season 3 )

8.The writing does not talk down to kids,in fact the writing for the show is very good not shying away from the fact this is a show about prejudice

9.I think the show has good momentum getting better and better up to Season 4 ,which is the best season of the show .Now Season 5 does feel like it is running on fumes,but it still has great episodes and contiains one of the greatest animated series finales ever "Graduation Day "

10.And of course.....The theme song is kickass

If you want me to explain my feelings more just ask me,I am more then willing to ramble about this amazing cartoon.I plan to do my top 10 favorite episodes,villains,and multi parters

Like during Wyrd and Wonder the Sci Fi Month Crew has decided to top list posts for the 10th year anniversary. Top Ten is a long list though and I don’t know if I will always be able to reach that amounth. But hey it is more about the topic, am I right? Yesterday I shared the books I read since Sci Fi Month 2021. Today I’m sharing a few books I discovered because of Sci Fi Month. Lets see how…

Hey everyone ,

My writer’s block broke a few days ago, and I got super inspired to try to write a sci fi/fantasy type story! I was really excited for any kind of inspiration and motivation, so I’m running with it!

I’m gonna try something ambitious (for me, the serial story dropper, that is) and write a big chunk up front before posting with a little more planning than normal. Once I have a good amount stocked up, I’ll start posting parts and schedule regular updates. Hopefully this will get me through the early story hump I get stuck on so much.

I have only written 7,052 words so far, but it’s going well. I am in the honeymoon phase of storytelling so I’m trying to use that momentum while I have it.

In the meantime, I might talk a bit about my writing, word counts updates, world building. Not my usual posts, so unsure if anyone would be interested, but I feel that putting it here will help motivate me. So I appreciate anyone who wants to hang out while I try this out!

How’s everyone else’s writing/reading been? Suggestions for what kind of updates people usually do on the writing process?

I’m always happier when I’m writing, and I hope when I start sharing this new one you guys enjoy it too!

if you like dishonored here's what to read

if the inspiration for dishonored's morality interests you, quote from here:

Smith explains that even as far back as 2010, he already saw The Outsider as a sympathetic victim, and both himself and writer Ricardo Bare wanted to draw upon the short story The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin.

read or listen: the ones who walk away from omelas:

PDF: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K Le Guin

YOUTUBE AUDIOBOOK: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. By Ursula Le Guin. Read by Lanternside (1.25x works well)

Just saw dune PT 2 and I can't help but see Macbeth parallels.

Someone is told by a coven of witches that he is the subject of a prophecy in which he will rise to power. At first he is reluctant about it but a woman close to him, who herself is connected to the witches and supernatural convinces him to follow through and work toward achieving the prophecy. By the end of the show he has become an insane dictator, manipulating and killing without thought to keep his throne.

There are also heavy. Themes of how genders gain power, with women gaining it though manipulation and men through conquest.

Notes on food, fish, and translation errors.

Hán and Ankiusk are good friends, but during the time that they’re getting their medical certifications they’re both still learning the Galactic Standardized language. That combined with Ankiusk’s lack of a jaw to make the click (!) letter, there are a lot of communication issues.

And I mean… what do you call an alien animal in an alien language so that a third alien can relate it to yet another alien animal. Language may be evil but comparative xenobiology is even more so.

[decepti-thots]

it is a phenomenally unlikely theory, but if it turns out that the delay in announcing the Transformers comics license is because Skybound got it and have chosen to reveal it as a twist in a non-transformers comic they're releasing, that would genuinely be very funny i admit, and i would forgive them all the months of confusion immediately.
