Happy 2019 :-). Thanks to you and other good people, i might be back to believe there's something special about the new year eve.

1. I was informed by a pen-mate about a new movie full with deaths I would wish to Parker. “Bird Box”, starring Sandra Bullock. It’s about a mother who's forced to take her children to the other side of an supernatural river. The movie begins with Sandra Bullock's character, a distressed mother named Malorie, who tell her chilredn to stay blindfolded no matter what, or else demons will kill them if not give them dementors kisses. That's a creative take on the ancient greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Eurydice have to walk with eyefold and Orpheus can't look back until they get out of  the underworld. Hope the kids arent already dead, like Eurydice was before Orpheus tried to bring her back to the world of the living. The flashback scene from 5 years ago, with Malorie being a painter of rather morbid drawnings, was a good symbolism to the crawling death. The world is literally ending, but by demons rather than zombies. While the demons are extremely dangerous and dark, i'm not sure if they are truely evil like some of the demons we see in horror films (Babyface, Parker, Freddy Krueger and such), or just amoral grim reaper-like creatures. A funny cameo moment accured when i saw B.D. Wong hiding in a house and reluctantly let Malorie and other survivors get in. Wu hides from a horde of Indoraptors lol. Finished the first 15 minutes. Hope it will stay interesting. Not being allowed to look the demons in the black of their eyes, or else you'll die, reminds you more of dementors or more of Orpheus and Eurydice?

2. Before "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" and "Teen Titans: the Judas Contract", which i have a feeling i'll like the latter better, i watched the first 8 minutes of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse". It began weird. They made Peter Parker acting like Deadpool. Talking about commercials and stuff. Miles Morales reminds me of myself. As smart as he is, not to mention going to be more powerful than Peter, his school is freaking exausting. His colleagues doesnt help. His cop father must refer to Captain Stacy. Spider Gwen will be happy to hear about that. One aspect i know i'll probably won't like, though, it their version of Doctor Octopus. Olivia Octavius just doesnt floating my boat the way Spiderman 2's Alfred Molina version does. Kingpin is rumored to be a cool main antagonist. Being dubbed by Liev Schreiber definitely helps. It will be probably like Victor "Sabertooth" Creed and your idea to McDonald merging into one terrifying character. What do you think about Kingpin as a villain, specifically someone who Spider Gwen and Miles should deal with him cautiously? And does the fact i confused him with Carmine Falkone is for Falkone's benefit or for Kingpin's offence?

3. nay-theist is a genius phrase. Thanks for introducing me to the term :-). I just know if there was a god who ain't Anastasia, i would be one of the biggest nay-theists on earth. I didnt remembered Edurad and Alphonse had Winry as a sister-like friend. Seeing them summoning an alchemy creature for her birthday is harsh in hindsight. Not because she was terrified into crying. Because of the known reasons. Their grandma got it just right with "i found out that even the most gifted folks gives up before they do anything of real merit". Both a sad truth and educational (now i know the word "merit"). The good people are the kind of gifted folks who get real merit without giving up. Cool to know their dad is a genius alchemist. If FMA2003 was realistic, i swear to Inuyasha that their father was an engineer/mathematician. If he truely left them, and not secretly dead/abducted to a cult, i know they could've learn so much from him if he was more involved and more caring. I mean, look at what they already taught themself. To think what they could've become if their father wasn't distanced. Just like my own father. Alphonse is tearing my heart with his naive insistence to see his father as a good man. Maybe it's part of what keeps him optimistic and choosing life even if it mean to recreate them/giving artificial limbs. Eduard delivered another heartwarming moment with his wish to create homunculi to revive Winry's parents. Now i hate Dante and "Father 2009" even more. I mean, homunculi are meant to recreate life. How dare they using them to create death? Also, i know i might be sentimental for saying that, but the reason i bring up my darker parts of my family is that FMA2003 reminds me of myself. My mother is thankfully alive, but other than that, this series throw me to my own family dramas.

4. There's a big difference between people like us, who prefer their family and friends over strangers, and those who're loyal only to a handful few at best and throwing strangers behind their back. Marlene and her kind will never understand this difference. Colonel McCullough might've understood it. If not understanding, at the very least he's far more honest than Marlene. He truely believed the end justify the means and was honestly social darwinist. He surprised me for the better with killing himself when he became the thing whom he feared the most. Killing his son was of course horrible, but unlike Marlene, he can claim he was real. Do you see Marlene killing her own family and eventually herself to do what she see as the right thing, or she's just as hypocrite as i think she is? And does McCullough reminds you of Marlene as much as he reminds her to me, or do you see him more like as what General Tiger can be if he won't be pure evil?

5. When i think of it, Syndrome could be just like Red. If Mister Incredible wasn't a good guy, i'm afraid to imagine what he could do with Syndrome as his obssesive follower. A youtube video made me realize that Syndrome didnt became that way because he was rejected by his worship interest. Just took his psychopathy to another direction. Do you think he really wanted to make Jack Jack into his follower, or just wanted to hurt Mister Incredible and his family? Also, does Red's willingness to kill children, highly psychopathic nature and subtle grudge toward his former owner ("You called me King David? Because i'm redhead? Real original. Like the idiot who gave me my name") make it clear that he tried (maybe succeeded. Still working on that part) to kill the child who used to be his owner?
