Pokemon.
I remember when i was in 1st or 2nd grade, my mom would grant me and my brother 1/2 hour of tv. This would consist of pokemon. I recently listened to the original theme song and suprisingly, it's pretty...inspiring. haha take a look for yourselves...
"I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all!"
This is what I grew up on haha. Suprisingly, pokemon's redundant yet addicting plots have taught me that evil will give up. At every possible oppertunity, the bad guys will always attempt to somehow hinder you from acomplishing your dreams. and it's strange, in pokemon, Ash doesn't always win every battle. After every battle that he loses, he gets right back and to training harder. haha If they made ash win every battle what really would be the fun in that? :P but it does have it's down sides too so : /
Annyywwayy....mabye like 3rd and 4th grade I would say... Kim Possible. Such a good show. It's one of those genuine disney channel shows. Not like the stuff their putting out these days.. *bleh* XP It took me and my brother the longest time to figure out that if you take away the first letter in kim and Ron's name it's impossible and onstopable. :] Same thing with everyone in Kim's family. Another fun fact. did you know that the voice of Terry Mcginnis (Aka Batman) in Batman Beyond, Eric from Boy meets world, and Ron from Kim Possible are all played by the same person? wweerriid O_O!!
Eric from Boy Meets World
Terry Mcginnis/ Batman
Ron Stoppable
Werid right? haha
So... moving on...5th and 6th grade. WITHOUT a doubt, Hands DOWN, Teen Titans. I really like how it was animated..it's like american with a hint of japanese...I was so crazy about that show it was riducolus...(wow im bad at spelling). XD haha I would used to get a bunch of the episodes on my computor and make music videos from them. I got pretty popular on youtube from that too surprisingly :P ended that after a while... haha but it was good... i don't know. Now that I look back at it. I'm glad I stopped that overly obsessive craze over Teen Titans. I actually wish that I would have stopped going so crazy earlier. Every good story must end sometime. And if we try and try again to relive the first time we every watched a good cartoon like Teen Titans i doesn't work... : / i guess to respect the qualities of certian things, we shouldn't over obcess about it... cept' for Christianity..cause that's always a new story everyday...sooo awesome.
hmm ok 7th to 8th grade... i think there was some justice league with some calvin and hobbes the comic mixed in there... man i love those things haha.. well i already wrote a rant on justice league so i won't talk about that...but Calvin and Hobbes... BEST. COMIC. EVER. I don't know if Bill Watterson (creator/writer/drawer of Calvin and Hobbes) was christian or not but he seemed to have very christian themes in Calvin and Hobbes... O_O. Fun Facts: Calvin the miscivious 6 year old was named after John Calvin the philsopher. Hobbes was named after Thomas Hobbes..also a philospher. Mrs. Wormwood is named after Wormwood the jr. devil from C.S. Lewis' character in The Screwtape Letters. I remember I really liked that book too :] .. anyway this is one of my FAVORITE comic strips (Jane I bet you'll like this)...
Usally kids like denis the menace will use the excuse "oh i didn't know i wasn't supposed to do that" but not Calvin. Here, Calvin outrightly knows he's being evil. It's hilarious!
Well if you asked me right now what i would shows or comics or idk books i really like i would probably say something like CHUCK!! :D It's like comdey/action/drama...okay first of all...they may reuse a lot of plot lines like the whole "oh this person died...but not really"....card. They did that like THREE TIMES!! but it is good. You really see the character development in Chuck over the episodes. and Chuck and Sarah are SOOOO cute!! :D
anyway that's my quick ever view of shows/comics over the past few years. I'm getting a slight bit into the dc graphic novels. I started with a couple superman stuff - "Whatever happened to the man of tommorow", "For the man who has everything" and i got some batman too :D - "the killing joke"
all by Alan Moore... he has a interesting view on reality...almost similar to Charles Williams. anyway favorite quote from graphic novels so far..
"Memories are what our reason is based upon, If we can't face them, we deny reason itself" - Batman: Killing Joke
annndd
"This is an IMAGINARY STORY about a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good. It tells of his twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed; ... It ends with a wink...Away in the big city, people still sometimes glance up hopefully from the sidewalks, glimpsing a distant speck in the sky... but no: it's only a bird, only a plane. Superman died ten years ago. This is an IMAGINARY STORY... Aren't they all?" - Superman: Whatever happened to the man of tommorow.
That last quote made a lot more sense to me after i read the comic so i guess that would give you incentive to read it? haha ...but that last part (Aren't they all?). it's worth discussing. ;]
ahh...good times, good times
