My Thoughts: Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D "Pilot"

Finally the time has come, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D  has finally premiered. MARVELITES UNITE!!!!!!

Before I get into this break down of my thoughts. I would like to take the time to thank ABC.com. Here's why

On Tuesday at about 2:39 am I go to set my dvr to record the show, I look at the Comcast channel guide, and go to ABC and record series. I get home last night, and get ready to look at the show, and its a black screen for the whole hour. I WAS PISSED!!!!! and I couldn't even find a link nowhere to watch it. Needless to say, it was not a good night.

Now back to the show. There may be some spoilers, but deal with it

First Off..................YAY PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back from "Tahiti" ( I definitely want to know the truth there)

I can appreciate the subtle comedic moments, not built to be a comedy or overbearing but just enough to give you a chuckle

Soooo, we have un-registered gifteds, really?!?! Okay, I'll let that go for now. (No I won't... as one with the Marvel Universe, comics and shows, kudos, cause in X-Men, they were just considered un-registered mutants, oh and isn't that a little bit why the Marvel Civil War started., hmmmmmm)

Oh yes, way to go for the black doctor dude, out of nowhere. Man, I was really convinced that Agent Coulson was at Tahiti, but whats a series premier what out he forefront knowledge of secrets and mysteries, like how we come to learn about Agent May (but she sound like she might have been that deal in the field, you see the end she took down the fake cop)

Oh and way to go "With great power...something something something" from Spider-man , and did you happen to catch the Harry Potter Hermione reference real quick from  Agent Fitz and Simmons, cute.

Credit to unknown Rising Tide who seem to really end up being a woman with some pretty average laptop and a lot of access, but it was a nice thought of having an unknown adversary at the moment, but we see how that ended, not a bad option though

You know, just when I was thinking like, Awwww yeaaaa, black dude with powers, this fool got damn enhancements, alien at that. All I could do was just put my head in my hand. Better luck next time black man, but way to start off the show. (Quick Tidbit: The most important thing is family and survival way to go black man.) Oh but wait, there it goes, Angry Black Man, //*Desperation Tone*- Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy //. Dude, as if we already did a chance to lead off his joint, but now you to fell to the stereotype. Its okay, all you wanted was just an opportunity, but damn.

LOL at Sweaty Cosplay girls around Stark Tower

Did anyone else the the 7 Dwarfs reference, you know Sleepy or was it Dopey, eh,however it was mentioned. Cute lol

Oh did you catch the Terminator reference to T-1000 to Agent Ward, but did you see the cop at the end that got out the car, now her was more T-1000 looking  (This show/ep is full references)

So, if anything would be the moral of this episode it would be "There is always a way" oh and Agent Coulson don't play that sh*t!

OVERALL: I was going to be a fan regardless, I mean its Marvel. In the earlier years of live action, yea it seem a bit touch and go, but they got better. I like the correlations and references to Avengers and Iron Man 3 (Extremis). This show has an abundance of potential, I just hope they are able to unleash the possibilities, even with possible cameos or name drops of other characters in the Marvel Universe.

So did you notice all the References, I'm sure I missed some too, but this is what I got
Spider-Man
Iron Man 3
Harry Potter
Terminator 2
Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, mainly just the dwarfs

I miss anything?!?!?

So these are my thoughts, what are yours, comment, I enjoy them.

My Thoughts: Battle of the Year

Battle of the Year: Battle of the Year attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in fifteen years. Dante enlists Blake to assemble a team of the best dancers and bring the Trophy back to America where it started. ~IMDb


My Thoughts: As one that have seen every movie from the Step Up series in theaters, it was quite refreshing to see a movie dedicated to B Boying and Hip-Hop. Now with that said, as a fan of art of dance, I thought the movie was great, a bit cheesy here and there, but it's a dance movie, there will always be cheesiness. Its not really that much for people to go see but the dancing. I can admit that I have only seen a couple of crews battle before, but I was quite impressed in with the choreography. I literally sat there thinking, Damn, that was sweet as hell, and WHAT, did they really just form Voltron <<--(yes an actual thought).

The music, man, you can never go wrong with classic Hip-Hop and classic B. Here are some of the songs that are not on the soundtrack. (Some, click the link to see the full list and soundtrack)

So here are somethings that I noticed through the movie.

Way to go Caity Lotz, that woman is pretty damn sexy. 

Quest Crew, I see you!!


The appearance of the great digital divide, those that are not use to or update with technology compared to those that are. I mean it was just a tablet, OH, that it was sweet when he moved the movie from the tablet to the tv. I WANT ONE!!!!

Changing of the times and culture. I wonder how B Boys then feel about B Boys now. I wonder how the change in culture, being that where B Boying started (USA) but is not as prevalent in American Hip Hop.

I know this though, I understand the point of someone understanding who they are about to work with, but damn, just cause yall boys from way back, does not mean you just tell his life story to some new random dude. I mean, granted, they took some unnecessary time out by not giving him worthless anecdotes about his past.throughout the movie. I do appreciate it, for getting it out up front. 

Oh and of course you could not go without the classic self destruction, team reflection, old friends turned rivals back to friends, and the infamous tragic moment. (Crowd goes awwwwwww)

All in all, in the ending, I really appreciated them not showing the final routines. You know since the whole damn movie was practice and team building, for me it was a good ending. The ending I will leave it at that.  

Random Thoughts in Media: Steve Urkel. Alternative Motives, Dessert, Bayou Princess

So here are some of my random thoughts about different things in media, of course I had to start with Film and TV, but mediums will come...........These are my thoughts, do share yours. 

Family Matters

Despite how bad Steve Urkel wanted Laura Winslow, Steve was always a good friend, helping her in school, getting her out of trouble, helping the family out, AND even listening to her issues with other dudes, and always having to witness him getting passed up and denied. Steve is the epitome of "Don't Quit"

A Family That Preys

Ladies, have you ever had a guy ask you out, and probably knew that he had some alternative motive or reason. Well just remember the scene from Tyler Perry's A Family That Preys. If a guy asks you out, and you think something seems sneaky, just ask to bring another guy along, and 1) check for the reaction, 2) count and see how long it takes for an answer.

Remember in the Matrix 2 "Matrix Reloaded," That scene where the woman ate the dessert

  I wonder if they ever will ever make a dessert just like that with the same effect. Cause that would definitely be a best seller. It would be the guy's "Gonna get some plan" or  get out of jail free card, and the woman's escape plan to getting out of sex, or getting sex.  Not sure if the effect would be the same for a guy, depends on how its used and the timing.

Princess and the Frog

http://princess.disney.com/tiana

Way to go Disney for the first black princess.......but why the New Orleans Bayou. I'm not saying that it was not a good setting, BUT you let all the other minority princesses have a more traditional history setting, Asia, Middle East, America (somewhere) So why not just let her be an African princess, because last I remember Nala, was definitely a lion. I'm sure people would have had something to say about it, but they wouldn't have been able to say much.
