Gomu-Gomu no Breaker!

Dear reader, today I have woken and wondered about life’s important mysteries; such as what I’m supposed to do on Earth, why do what I do…and whether or not One Piece’s Haki is actually Gurren Lagann’s Spiral Power in either a different strand or another universe (either one can work, really.)
Yes readers, this is the topic I have chosen to bring up today. And I myself have some good evidence that thus could indeed be true, allow me to explain.

First off, both Haki and Spiral Power tends to make whoever it is that uses it undeniably AWESOME though one only becomes potently powerful to certain people, i.e. a certain rubber skin/boned pirate with a meat fetish.

 Disgusting, ain't it?

Anyhoo, let’s be more precise here. Haki has three separate forms, the first one allows you to sense the presence of others and essentially predict wherever your enemies will attack you from, and the third essentially allows you to dominate the will of others, and actually make “Defeat by being yelled out totally freaking loud” seem like something that doesn’t sound completely stupid, though granted it’s incredibly rare.

But the second form of Haki is without a doubt the one that’s most similar to Spiral Power, users tend to manifest forces comparable to invisible armor around themselves to both defend against attack and fight back with greater force, able to augment your own attacks, and we mean any attacks, even bullets

Spiral Power can do something similar, making machines and devices capable of giving more output than it should be able to (think Tony Stark’s Arc reactor, could you really expect such energy from something so small?)

 It also makes sexy chicks with big guns that defy logic.

Haki is in all beings of the One Piece World  but as mentioned above, not everybody can manifest it in the ways mentioned above, but all of these powers can be improved through hard work by those who have them…so maybe those who don’t have them can manifest these amazing powers if they work hard enough.

And besides, if Spiral power isn’t involved, then how do you explain Sanji’s manifesting of Spiral eyebrows?

 Now we're cooking with SPIRAL POWAH!

And that is my personal theory about how Spiral Power and Haki are one and the same, if the world has any luck this’ll turn out to be true and we’ll have Luffy piloting a giant mecha in search of meat while Sanji gets chased off by an irate Yoko after trying to spy on her bathing…but I doubt it.
See you next time, next week’s post hasn’t been decided yet; but I’ve got some damn good ideas on what to do! What are they? Wouldn’t you like to know…

 Bitchin! But I don't see any meat hunting robots...do you?

Sorry for the lack of post

Last week I had several things keeping me from putting out a new post of my blog. I wish to appologize for said inabability to give a brand new post.
I was on a bike trip you see, and I didn't get any chances to write out a new post. I do however have some ideas for next week, and hope to begin discussing some new theories (such as something concerning Gravity Falls for example.)
On a side note, I'm pleased to annouce that the webcomic I've been working on getting made (which I'm calling The Sky's Limit) has at least two people willing to do art for it, so while I have a colorist and line artist I lack a background artist (though I do have a candidate for the job), soon I will establish a post about it so you can learn more about my project...and maybe even help me make it if you want.
There'll be more later, but for now I just gotta say that this story...is totally awesome.
So long for now, and again I appologize for the unfortunate lack of a post yesterday.

LOEGTV? Better than Survivor.

Hello viewers, today I wish to bring to your attention...the news that 21th Century Fox is making a new adaption of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Whoa there guys, let's just put those down a sec.

Now hang on there, don't brandish the torches and pitchforks at me, I already get enough of that. I'm only talking about it here because this project looks like it actually could do better than that film did.
This series is having a pilot made at the moment, the producer of it being Micheal Green. He wrote both the TV series Heroes and Smallville and the film Green Lantern...so yeah, this could go either way.

See! This guy has the right idea.

As you can also expect, nobody thought to give poor Alan Moore the heads up they were planning to do this, nor offer him any position in producing the series....and as you can also expect, he's none too pleased about this either. Guy's had about as much hard luck in these type of situations as Jack Kirby got shafted by his editors.
Now I can fully understand why he'd be upset, I'm not even sure how he lost the film rights to his series but Fox made poor use of it.
Of course though, the first time they tried it the main problem was the script...that and the fact they used only the bare outline of the first volume when plotting it.

For starters, Alan Quatermain didn't have a sidekick with a very vague resemblance to Jack Black...nor did he die in the first frigging volume.

Now then, the reason I chose to bring up this is simply because I think this time they have an actual chance of making this work. I'm a big fan of Moore's work, and while he may not like this upcoming series I'll watch it regardless, no disrespect to him but I really want to see whether or not they drop the ball this time.
Remember, if you will that Beware the Batman had some pretty negative views by quite a lot of haters and trolls, but look at it now! It's a truly awesome Batman show, and the CGI is well done. All their complaints were proven to be a wad of bullshit wrapped in a pissrag.
Now granted, it may not be the same with this but it could, so let's keep our eyes on it and see if this shines like a galaxy...or buuuuurns, like a moth at the flame.

And him too.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. Columbia

Hello readers...and one eyed mutant spiders. Oh, and hipsters too.
Today I wish to put out a new theory I just developed two days ago after watching Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (awesome movie, really it is.)
Could Ramona Flowers be the descendent of Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite?

And could Violent J be Professor Pyg's fifth cousin thrice removed?

Now it may or may not be conceivable (or probable for that matter) since Scott Pilgrim was made quite a long time before Infinite was even thought up, but I realized this could actually be possible upon finishing the movie.
Now granted, the movie was great, that I won't argue for a sec. But it had one problem...it didn't delve into Scott's backstory like the comics.
Now if you haven't seen the movie or the comic...Turn tail like Blackadder did when it was his turn to go over the top, I hate spoiling plots for people (unless they insist on it) so unless you've either seen or read Scott Pilgrim, and haven't had the good fortune to either play, watch, or drink beer and lazily watch somebody else play Bioshock Infinite...READ A DIFFERENT POST!
NOW WITH THAT WARNING OUT OF...WAIT A MINUTE.
There, the damn caps button was stuck. Now on with the show.

Smoke if you got 'em.

First off, let's discuss one of the most obvious parallels between the two. Ramona and Elizabeth both possess powers that allow them to bend space and time, but in different ways. Elizabeth's uses them to take things from alternate universes (and vice versa) and create gateways between universes. Ramona can do something similar, except unlike Elizabeth she can just teleport with it, though it probably also explains why her bag's so motherfucking big.
Secondly, both had their powers put into them. Granted that's not entirely special, but if it was so easy to gain nigh omnipotent power then how come Elizabeth was the only person with the powers she got from losing her little finger? There had to be something special about her that caused this, or at least made her more susceptable to it, so perhaps if Ramona possessed the same gene she could grow up into this teleporting supergirl (though granted her powers are a diluted and very weak version of her possible ancestor's power.)
Thirdly, she's kind of in her own Bioshock situation.

Unlike Haruko, who'd sooner drive both Rapture and Columbia crazy.

Consider Elizabeth's words about there being "Always a lighthouse, always a man, and always a city", Scott's head contains a subspace shortcut Ramona used when she needed to, this caused he and Scott to meet, this could be the lighthouse.
Gideon is The Man, having formed the League of Evil Exes out of an extreme principle he had, which in this case was that only he could control Ramona's love life.
Toronto is The City, I mean seriously. Do you think normal cities have that much off the wall weirdness? Not unles it's in New Jersey anyways.

And it was then that Scott Pilgrim realized he should probably get his lunch elsewhere.

The final point is how Scott's messed up memories work, they remind me all too much of how Booker Dewitt couldn't recall his own past. Of course, there's abut a difference between the two cases equivalent to that of an elephant with  to a rhino with herpes. They're very much different, yet very much the same (or a similar species at least.)
Booker DeWitt forgot (mostly at least) about how he sold his daughter to pay off gambling debts, while Scott's mind was altered so he remembered various details of his past very differently (and forgot he was a schoolyard bully who beat someone up to steal their girlfriend.)
So anyways, there might be more to explain this further but that'd wait for a later post at least. For now I have to bring up another idea, could a relative of Ramona's (and by extension, another of Elizabeth's descendents) be Haruko from FLCL? This'd be more likely due to the resemblance...but if they were together, who'd be sane girl in this type of situation?

The world may never know...and by 'the world' I mean me.

See ya! Next week I'll come up with either a new theory, a review, or an installment of my new idea suggesting feature. If anyone has any opinions on what to do, leave a comment (it's alright if you don't though. I can just choose what to do.)

So anyway- WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU?! I THOUGHT I PAID THE RENT! (Runs.)

The Idea Zone: Tranquility an impossibilty? Not anymore.

Alright people, time to get a new show on this red stained road...a new feature to my blog.
This time, I'll be discussing ideas that could be improved, and how I can succeed where actual writers couldn't.
Now note that this is not being done out of egotism, I'm simply writing down observations I've made.
Today, I'll be discussing Gail Simone's brilliant series, Welcome to Tranquility, and explain how it could fit into the New 52.

Even Superheroes have to retire.

Now for those of you who've been living under a chunk of Red Kyrptonite, let me explain the New 52.
The New 52 was the infamous "DC Comic's continuity reboot" where (among other things) Superman started out his career looking like Li'l Abner, Batman has to fight an Illuminati expy with an owl fetish, and Wonder Woman supposedly wore painted on pants...

But she didn't.

While I personally like plenty of the comics this reboot caused, a side effect is that pretty much all superheroes were active only within a five year period.
Welcome To Tranquility is a Gail Simone series about a retirement village for superheroes and their families. Most of them having previously operated in World War II, so they've been alive for quite some time.
The plot of the series revolves around a Fountain of Youth located beneath it, which is the source of the superheroes' slowed aging (as opposed to the Preboot Justice Society, who never had an explanation for their comparatively young looks.) But the main point I'm bringing up is, how the Hell could I work these two together? How do I explain how heroes from WWII exist in a world where superheroes have only been around for a few years?
My answer is quite simple, because of something else Wildstorm Comics (which published Welcome to Tranquility) made.
Now you see, the DC reboot incorporated the Vertigo and Wildstorm Comics universes into itself, hence why it's possible to use them.

They did not, however, incorporate Dr. Insano...he shaved their cats.

In Mark Millar's run on the Authority, he used an army containing evil versions of many Marvel characters, most prominately, the Avenegers (these jackasses being named "The Americans" instead), they were created by an evil midget scientist who also happens to be an ersatz Jack Kirby (apparently he finally wanted to get back at his editors for screwing him over) as part of a plan to keep America safe during the Cold War, there were thousands of these sociopaths and they all were stored in about five invisible bunkers, ready to burst out and fight anyone they were ordered to.
So you can imagine how much of a shitnado would occur if they, say, went rogue...with said mad scientist plotting to attack the modern world with this army of psychopaths.

 The guy in front loves rape more than Dr. Rockzo loves cocaine.

So how can I use this? Simple, I could merely retcon them to have been made through the same process (being people taken in by the government through ads and solicitation in secret, and used to create this army of superheroes) but they were engineered by a different scientist who treated them humanely, since why most of them aren't evil bastards (supervillains live there too, so they could just be subjects who attempted to go rogue) the current version of the town being a secret community similar to Eureka! from the Sci-Fi channel.
Another idea could be that these heroes are still used on missions, while all the superheroes of this second half of the project (plus descendents) who truly are retired go to a different underground community...Neopolis from Alan Moore's totally awesome police procedural series, Top Ten. (Though granted I'd try to see if he'd be alright with this first, it wouldn't feel right otherwise) where all the citizens are superheroes...living like normal people, but with the obvious twist. Granted it was originally published under Alan Moore's "America's Best Comics" imprint, but that got bought by Wildstorm, which in turn was bought by DC, so it can be used just as easily.

Oh, and there's super-prostitutes too.

Anyways I wrap this up,  I'd like to establish that while I've found a way, Gail Simone sadly didn't (see here, {link} ) so just to make sure things're clear, I like her work (not as much as Alan's Moore's or Grant Morrison's, but she can write pretty damn good) especially Secret Six (first supervillain protagonist book I ever read), Suicide Squad, and Welcometo Tranquility.) So this isn't my egotism speaking, I just wanted to demonstrate my considerable creative talents and vast knowledge of comics to show how something an author thought couldn't be done...actually could. (Though for the record, I was the first to come up with this idea.)

So anyways, that's my post for today, thank you for your  support and I hope to see you all in the near future.

Peace.
