1. JK and Tolien are indeed awesome. However, JK makes me upset. It's not only the horrible "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child". I believe every Harry Potter fan knows all about it shortcomings, which are countless. It's about things she did in the wake of it. She forced a retcon just to make the cursed fanfic fit in the canon. As writers, i would never dig my own grave by enslaving the good parts of my stories to the bad parts just to stitch a half-baked retcon. But JK, of all people, came up with some rather infuriating statements like "Hermione was black this whole time" and "The Curse Child should be canon". The sole reason she said that Hermione was never specifically white is to justify the fact that the good people of the cursed fanfic casted a black woman to Hermione's role. And which words did she used? "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin never specified". She wanted to appear as a positive color blind (not caring about ethnicity. Like we do), but just came out as uncharacterically ignorant. Girls can have brown eyes, frizzy hair and supernatural intelligence, and also white. She could've done what every normal writer would do and say loud and clear that "The Cursed Child" is just a fanfic, or maybe that it was all an alternative reality. But she cancelled every symbolizm (Hermione is a scholar jew, not a scholar black) and everything Emma Watson ever did just to justify a bad story. If Hermione was black, then JK should've told the good people of the studios to cast a black girl instead of Emma Watson. Letting people walking around with one thing in mind, only to change it for justifying a bad decision, is like making you study for a cardiology exam, only to change it to chemistry exam at the last minute. And the part where Harry dated Ginny? That's one of the parts which JK '''is content with. '''She regret about Ron and Hermione's legit and natural relationship, but is cool about a second-hand incest. It's not "Games Of Throne" here. Having such screwed-up priorities is something Voldemort would do. When a woman is so brilliant and talented, i expect her to be much less clueless. Here's the video which informed me about some of what i've just wrote in this paragraph:

"Twilights" and "50 Shades" are horrible as a whole. But giving a horrible epilogue and an incestous ending to an otherwise great franchise like Harry Potter is unthinkable. Do you find it infuriating, like i do, or do you see it as mostly sad?

2. Took me a minute, but now i remembered that Arakawa gave us "Full Metal Alchemist". I like the 2003 version better. Even got to episode 4-5. IMO it worked better than the manga and made more sense. The 2009 one was just forcing the manga on the tv screen. Father is the only thing in the 2009 version i liked better. Other than him, i take the 2003 version.

3. I must thank Hirsch for giving us "Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse". Miles Morales was just the new Spiderman this franchise need. He reminds me of myself. Spier-Gwen makes the canon Gwen's death even more sad. I know she was a lion to the slaughter, but seeing her awesome role as Spider-Gwen makes me wish that Peter would've die instead. Kingpin put the King in King Louie. I mean, this guy is a freaking bigfoot. There were aspects i didnt liked though:

A. Spider Pork (a clear shout-out to the Simpsons movie. He had too many meta jokes. There's only so much meta jokes you can have before it killing the serious tone of the movie). All of the other unknown Spider people (Spiderman Noir was relatively okay) didnt helped too much.

B. Olivia Octavius just doesnt floating my boat the way Spiderman 2's Alfred Molina version does. I don't know if she was truely bad-written, or because Alfred Molina was one of a kind. She was weird. She see Peter in her lab, doesnt suspect anything and just physically examining him in misplaced fascination. I'm pretty sure what she did can be considered as sexual harassment, or at least highly illigal invasive methods. It's weird to see a woman doing it. Maybe the good people wanted us to see her as disturbing? "My friends call me Liv" is self condradicting. I mean, '''a degraded version of Doctor Octopus have friends? '''She's probably one of those girls who leave behind long raws of bitter exes. The only way i can see her having friends is if she brainwashed them, like how Jill Roberts brainwashed Olivia Morris and Kirby Reed (just for perspective: Jill wanted both to get murdered as part of her own killing spree).

C. Prowler was Miles' uncle. It doesnt come out as a twist. It's more like a forced plotline.

3. Lovecraft was a racist? Man :-(. I didnt remembered that part. If he was, then he's lucky to dead, because many people these days would kill him for less.
