Witless is back after a long month.

To my great readers out there, I'd like to apologize for not being active on my blog very much lately. Long story short I use my phone to upload all my content and the windows phone I used to use didn't have a blogger app. So now I've got a new phone and I'm back with you.

That being said. My videos are all still being uploaded on a regular basis and I hope you're enjoying them. I've just uploaded my latest video "NECA Godzilla 2014" and it's on my YouTube channel right now.

A lot has been happening with me lately - all good - and you as my loyal and lovely viewers and readers will now get to see me upload monthly hauls and maybe the occasional vlog if I feel I have something really noteworthy to show my face for.

Speaking of Lovely Viewers. What has been going on with Marina Joyce just lately. I don't keep up with YouTubers, but the whole Marina Joyce abduction conspiracy has blown up on facebook and YouTube and people are going crazy over it. I saw a video by another YouTuber whose name escapes me but she theorized that Marina is suffering from Schizophrenia. This in my opinion is also the most likely answer to her, well less than comfortable demeanor just lately. So I don't really have a whole lot to say other than IF this Marina is suffering from some sort of mental disorder than hopefully for her sake, she finds help. Generally though I keep my nose out of these kinds of events because I don't want to jump on the bandwagon and proclaim myself as Marine's friend - I don't know her at all and only saw her videos when this whole thing escalated to near global news levels.

All I can really say about Marina from my perspective is that maybe giving herself so much exposure online and continuing to make YouTube videos could continue to affect her current psychological state and it would probably be in her best interest to take a break until she can settle herself once again.

In other news Suicide Squad has been hit hard by Critics, Much like BvS before it. I've not seen it yet but I intend to and all I can say is that Critics have a mindset that they have to stand out from the others and come across as jaded intellectuals. The fact is that 90% of critics know nothing and spend most of their time trying to think of pretentious quotes to describe movies like "this film was so dire that I almost committed suicide to rid myself of it" chuckling to themselves at how smart they think they are. If you want a good opinion on what a film is like then you'll have to see it yourself and form your own. Rotten Tomatoes at this point is filled with these pretentious arseholes and it really winds me up.

Well that's about all I have time for today. Please enjoy your Sunday and have a great rest of the day.

2017 Power Rangers suits revealed

So the latest promotional image from the upcoming movie "The Power Rangers" (2017) has been released and shows the updated look of the Rangers' costumes. So without wasting time, here it is:

(Full article here)

So first impressions are... GREAT. I love the technical look of the Rangers and the updated appearance from the classic spandex, it adds a very modern approach to the look of the suits. I will say however that they all look like various Iron Man suits, although I think anything slightly robotic with a light somewhere stands a chance of making that comparison

I wouldn't call my following comment a criticism but I think it could be taken that way, and that is that the suits look very similar to the The Guyver's suit from the classic 80's / 90's movies of the same name.

Maybe it's just me, but I think the various points and sharp edges look strikingly similar to the Guyver. The reason I think this could be taken as a criticism is because the Guyver is over 20 years old and clearly and understandably outdated by today's standards. But it does make me think that the Ranger's re-imagined suits may quickly start to look outdated themselves very shortly and possibly suffer the same fate as the recent Robocop remake and become forgotten among a saturated market of superheros and super-suits.

Obviously I'll go and see Power Rangers as soon as it's released so as to give you my honest opinion on how the movie holds up. But from the images of the suits, cast members, and recently released images of Rita, I think it's fair to say a decent amount of hard-work and money is going into this movie with the hopes that it'll appeal to old and new fans alike.

With Rite Repulsa being played by Elizabeth Banks, one would hope that there'd be an element of comedy in the movie. I just hope that it doesn't try too hard to be funny and end up parodying itself. 

Also my thoughts on Rita are quite simple, "Cosplay gold!" I'm generally happy with how the film is looking all round to be honest and hope we see a few nods to the classic series and maybe even the original movie in the upcoming flick.

Thanks for reading and have a great rest of day.

DC Rebirth Redesign Fails.

As you may have guessed from the title. I'm not thrilled over the new redesigns of the upcoming DC Comics 'Rebirth' characters. To add to that, I'm also not over the moon about the current state of comic books in general, but I'll briefly cover that in a minute.

Credit: http://www.comicbookresources.com/

 Recently the news website 'Comic Book Resources' uploaded some exclusive images of the new redesigns for DC's new shakeup (Link to that page is right here: Click here), and I thought it was only fair to voice my opinions on which of the designs I consider to be the worst. Now the entire lineup hasn't been revealed yet, so I can't say definitively that these are the worst designs or if the worst is yet to come, and also this is just my opinion so don't take this to heart if you personally love them.

To begin let's take a look at Batman (My favorite hero). Here's what I like, The yellow bordering on the logo looks sharp and the general color scheme works well. However, The bulky gauntlets and utility belt kind of kill it for me. I prefer Batman to have a little bit less going on with his costume to really emphasize that he's just a man. and the Belt just doesn't fit in my opinion. Overall it's not awful, but it wasn't necessary to update the practically perfect New 52 style look.

Again I have the same issue with Damian (Below) that I have with his dad, that being that the armored gauntlets, belt, and boots just make Robin look too heavy. I think Damian works best when he is given less, like Batman, and still prevails. As a master assassin and potential future Batman, I think it makes Robin look weaker and a bit cumbersome to give him armor.

On the other hand. Jon Kent as Superboy goes in the complete opposite direction and just turns into some sort of grotty child. Ripped jeans, converse and a caped Super-hoodie... what on Earth were they smoking to think that would look good. Just to put it into context, these character designs are just that, designs. So those rips aren't from a fight he's just got out of, no. Those rips are designed to be part of the costume... Ugh, I'm not a huge fan of child-superheroes anyway due to may age and just not really liking the stereotypical Teenage plots they go through. But Superboy's look just isn't working for me at all.

Finally, and without a shadow of a doubt, The worst character designs so far. We've got Harley Quinn and Killer Croc.

Starting with Harley, I never liked her in the classic black and red onesie she used to wear because it just didn't look right. But I think Margot Robbie's version of Harley Quinn just nailed it. Harley is certifiable - An average woman turned insane by circumstance - and her clothing should reflect that unhinged persona. she is not John Rambo. I think this is more a case of trying to make Harley more mainstream rather than letting the character be the psycho she actually was.

As for Croc... He looks like a shrub and The Thing (Ben Grimm) had a love child. It's just too far in one direction. Croc should represent Batman's primal side, but be less of a slap in the face and be slightly more subtle about it. It just doesn't work for me at all.

Harley Quinn done right.

 On the left you can see how Harley Quinn should look. From the dyed hair that looks like she did it herself on a drunken night. To the torn exaggerated clothing that still looks realistic. Harley is not some well-armed one woman militia. she's a nutter that leaves you unsure if she's about to love you or cut your throat.

I hope you've enjoyed this little moan of mine enough to want to check in again soon. I'll have more videos up on YouTube pretty soon and will keep posting on here as well.

Have a great rest of day.

Reason for my absence lately (Animal lovers must read)

Dear readers and viewers of my YouTube channel.

I just wanted to update you on why I've not been online much lately or very active on my blog.

The reason is that my pet Chinchilla, Lily, gave birth to three kits and it was quite surprising to me (I knew she was pregnant but only expected one kit), and to be honest with you, They are a lot to handle lol.

We had to get a cage big enough for Lily and the babies to stay in for at least three months because the male chinchilla we have is a Tail-Biter.

So without keeping you waiting. Here are the pictures of Lily and her babies:

Ned

Benjen

Bran

I know some of you may not be interested in animals or pets. But I love animals and have been enjoying the chance to spend time with these little bundles of fluffiness.

Bran (Bottom picture) is special needs and is the runt of the litter (He walks in circles a lot and is either possibly mentally handicapped or blind) as such he is hand-fed by me, So don't worry I'm not squeezing him in the picture. My hand is cupped and he is inside.

SIDE NOTE: Regular Witless Reviews videos will be up again in a very short time. Thank you for your patience.
