Jewel in Hell's Kitchen

Jewel is a superheroine from Marvel Universe who got recently a TV show on Netflix. I've written about Daredevil made by Netflix which was a huuge succes, so I felt encouraged to watch "Jessica Jones" although I don't really like the main actress, but here she was OK. 

So Jessica is an orphin (wow, that's new...) and as a teenager she goes to a foster family - a mother  a slutty producer and her daughter a new rising star Patty who's used by her mother and made to vomit to look thinner. We don't really know how Jessica got her powers - she woke up in hospital after a car accident where her family died and suddenly she's extremely strong and quite fast, she can jump really high and long distance and she can run faster than an averahe human being (but not like Flash, or Quicksilver). She lives in Hell's Kitchen (probably next to Matt Murdock) and she works as a private detective. She meets Luke Cage - future Powerman and her husband - who's wife she was made to kill. So there is Killgrave, a real psycho murderer and a guy who can force you to do anything what he wants to, and you won't stop trying to do it until you succeed, so he's walking around looking for Jessica because he thinks he loves her. With a true, psycho, horrifing love.

Jessica never got her nickname Jewel in the show, but there's an easter egg about it;p

Netflix is making also another show about Luke and Ironfist, so we're gonna have all the defenders in one TV show! But we will have to wait a lot, because Deredevil will be released in april next year, Ironfist hasn't been cast yet, at least there are no official statements and I don't know when there will be the premiere of Luke.

But I can't wait for the Daredevil, because he's gonna fight with Punisher! (fangirling)

Censored!

Recently I've watched a video on YouTube about censorship in movies and animated series for children. Especially japanese anime. And I was surprised when I found out what do they censor in the United States. So a girl showed a little bit her panties and they were white, she was wearing also a pink dress, so they painted pink her panties that children didn't see that someone is wearing an underwear. They also changed (suddenly) a skin colour of one of the characters, because he resembled a caricature of black people from XIX and XXcentury - so in one episode he was black and in the next one he was blue. For me there was nothing insulting in his first appearance because he looked like an alien and he was a magician (or sth like that).

They also changed a cover of a magazine for adult men read by an elder guy - let's be honest, there was only a blurred woman on it so there was no need to change anything.

I think that innocent eyes and ears won't notice anything "naughty" in the movies for children, let's look at the cartoons - in "Johnny Bravo" Johnny was watching TV and there was a scene inw hich the girl explains to her boyfriend why they can't be together 

-"You don't understand, I'm a bitch..."

-"Oh, don't say that..."

- "No, I really am a bitch" - and she takes off her human costume and reveals she's a... dog! So as we can see, there was no need to censor anything! The same thing with Johnny's flirting texts - on his birthday he was looking for a date, so he approaches to a girl and says: "Wanna blow my candle?" Innocent children won't understand the reference and it's a nod to parents that they weren't so bored while watching cartoons with their kids.

But I guess in Malaysia it's a humiliation to show your feet, so whenever the main character in "Sailor Moon" fell (and she used to fall in every episode, really like EVERY episode) they blured her feet (even when she was wearing shoes). So we shouldn't complain about our censorship.

 

Comics Wars!

Last Saturday I've been to Comics Wars in Poznań, and it was great. I've been to two lectures: one on the Civil War in Marvel and the other one on DC Comics - how to read them and in what order.

I really liked it, but I couldn't fully enjoy it, because I'm sick and I can barely speak, so no talk from me. I've also bought two comic books, about the Winter Soldier and about the Justice League (Marvel and DC, respectively).

I've found out about this event by accident, when I checked my email and the library of the university sent this message that it's here and now, so I went there and I definitely don't regret.

There will be "Dzień otwarty" in Multiversum the 19th of december (they will sell comics in special prizes), but unfortunately I can't go because I'm coming back home earlier and this day I'm going to cinema to watch Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens, but maybe I couls send a letter to Santa Claus and he would give me some comic books for Christmas... (read: send an email with links to my parents with crying: I want this so much!).

OK, I'm going back to studying for the english test I'm having on Wednesday.
