I’m watching Classic Star Trek.

It’s actually pretty good. I’m liking it a lot. Even though by now every idea has been butchered and used in every possible way by others.

Why did they remake Star Trek: Wrath of Khan into that terrible “Into Darkness” Movie when they could have taken any of these old episodes, update them, and use them as a template for something grand! These episodes are brimming with ideas! 

Not gonna lie, Into darkness would have been better had they just casted someone other than crinklehop bandersnatch because ID kahn is more of a rogue but WoK kahn is a warrior. blanderpop wasn’t the right person to cast for kahn.

I don’t think that was Cumberbatch’s fault. Just the writing in general. The story seemed to be trying to replicate the Wrath of Khan, but not understanding what made Wrath of Khan so good. 

What made Wrath of Khan so good, was that it deconstructed Kirk. It deconstructed Kirk’s “Always another way” winning strategy. Kirk ALWAYS wins, and he never suffers any major losses during it. Even if he has to cheat the odds. Wrath of Khan was about showing Kirk’s failings, and digging a heel into his face with how he can’t keep playing his close games of death without losing at least once. 

Into Darkness didn’t get that, and seemed to go with a “Captain’s Sacrifice Theme,” which didn’t need Khan. Khan was put in because of name recognition. 

TLDR: Into Darkness was dragged down because it wanted to be Wrath of Khan, but missed out completely on the themes that made Wrath of Khan good, and replaced it with a theme that could have been done in any story, including the first movie. 

Huh. I guess that’s a better reason as to why the kahn of ID was so lame. Because he literally could have been replaced with anyone else and it still be the same movie.

the truth behind hearthswarming

So because of until dawn, I decided to look into wendigo lore. Turns out they are created through cannibalism in canadian mountains. So here’s the thing. IN the hearthswarming story, wendigos were the cause of the problems. We also know the three kingdoms were seeking new land because of the harsh weather and lack of food in their own land. So their kingdoms were cold and foodless. Sound familiar? What if the reason the three kingdoms settled their differences was because they found that their own people were resorting to cannibalism, becoming wendigos and causing even more problems. The solution? Work together to not only kill the wendigos but also to ensure there’s enough food to avoid canabalism in equestria. The other thing this means is that cannibals in equestria or central equestria would become these beasts

I had fucked up on the equestrian holiday. I changed it

But can you imagine with Pokémon GO: Catching a Manaphy on the Florida coast. Catching a Celebi in the Redwood Forest in California. Fighting types in martial arts dojos, electric types at power plants, imagine it. Imagine the clerk at your local restaurants having Pokémon ready to fight before your meal. Can you imagine actual Pokémon cafe’s? I am so psyched for this game you have no idea

can you imagine stepping outside and there’s a trubbish or a vulpix on your front lawn? Can you imagine waking up and there’s a banette in your closet? Can you imagine going to water parks and there’s wingulls and everything in between? Can you imagine being on a motherfucking plane and then either latios or latias is flying beside it?

Can you imagine seeing miltanks in farms and abras in schools? Imagine just sitting in your room and seeing a mew float just outside your window?
