Changes

So, it's 2013.  We're still here, I hope.  I'm writing this as a sort of time capsule thing so forgive me if this is inaccurate.  Don't troll me on this God.

Anyway, it's a New Year.  And with a new year, there has to come new things.  I'm not entirely sure what I want those new things to be yet, but I'll be figuring them out as the new year draws near.  Who knows, by the time this posts I'll have an answer.  ^^

But I do know this: every week I talk to friends that I don't necessarily see as often as I do my fellow college-going pals, and every week I ask them the same question: "What's new?"   And I get the same answer: "Nothing."   That in itself is bad enough, but what's worse is that when they say that, I give this answer: "Same here."

And I'm tired of that.  I realize this small town isn't the best place on Earth, and certainly not the most interesting.  But I'm going to make my own life better, and more interesting.  This is my personal New Year's Vow.  So remember it, Future Me!

Thanks to all the awesome people that actually read this super-saccharine entry.  By the time school starts I'll have up some other stuff that's up to normal JiH standards.   (Unless this IS the new standard.  Who knows?  I'm weird.)

Sage Spoils The Plot: Kamen Rider Decade

Starting a new section today, entitled Sage Spoils The Plot. I pondered over this name for quite a while, but as I thought about it, I realized calling it commentary or blogging or whatever is just bullshit. What you're REALLY doing is spoiling the plot and adding your own brand of shitty humor. So, why not be honest? Plus, Sage Spoils The Plot has kind of a ring to it. For the first section we're doing the new Kamen Rider series of 2009, Kamen Rider Decade. Kamen Rider checks a lot of "totally fucking awesome" boxes for me. A lot of people might call it, "Japanese Power Rangers" (which is untrue from the start since that already exists) due to the suits and the fight scenes. I accept this. That said, its proof that anything done right can be cool--so when you get rid of the over-acting, toss in a good plot (exceptionally good plots actually), add in some well done characterization, and tone down the stupid-level of the fight scenes and make them look less l

The New 52, Corrected: Justice Legion A

What Happened: It’s another replacement book.  This time we’re getting rid of Legion Lost.  What I’d Change: Enjoy the adventures of the Justice League of the 853rd century.  Why: Put simply?  Legion Lost didn’t have enough legs to function as an ongoing series.  A group of the Legion’s best members go to the past to combat an alien virus...and then what.  They get stuck?  Meh.  The appeal of the Legion is they’re from the future.  This could have been a great MINI-series; something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.  As an ongoing I got bored, really fast.  So instead let’s replace them with a book about the Justice League of the far future. DC's got a terrible habit of making up awesome concepts and then leaving them by the wayside, this is one of DC’s greatest and its only been revisited like, twice.  (Once by Geoff Johns with Booster Gold 1,000,000 and once with Chris Roberson with some Superman/Batman comic.)   It helps lighten the hit that came with Flashpoint
