Salutations™!!

If it weren’t for football and rasslin’ I’d totally do away with any television at all. I mean television programming. Networks, cable channels and all that have no meaning for me anymore. The BCPF watches one channel 90% of the time and when she isn’t she may watch one other but mostly it’s Netflix and Amazon Prime.

We both watch Hulu together and I watch USA and football.

After that, I am totally an app person on my Amazon Fire TV. Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Vimeo, DC Universe which I have talked about several times in the last few months and now… Disney+. Oh, Disney+. I have mentioned several times on this blog and if you know me in person, you know that I love everything Disney.

On top of that, now that Disney owns Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel and National Geographic, they are darned near perfect for me. I got Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+ (which who knows when I’d watch much of that?) in one package so it’s really cool to have. I’ve gotten into the Mandalorian, the Behind the Imagineering series, a few NatGeo series and of course the animated features.

Because I’m a glutton for lists, programming and streaks, I have decided to watch all the animated films in order from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen II (I’ll have to wait on the last few, I think). There are a few that I can’t see because they’re not available on Disney+. So far, I’ve missed Make Mine Music and Song of the South, one because it’s not available and the other because there’s a shload of controversy over it (and I’m not sure it’s all warranted). I have them both on DVD so I can see them, but I am trying to watch them all on this awesome new service. I have watched Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and Cinderella. That’s since yesterday. Being sick hasn’t been all bad.

I will watch all the Star Wars films from the start on, as well as the MCU in order.

Until tomorrow, and more Disney films later…
Scorp out!

“Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example, you’re walking along, minding your own business. You’re looking neither to the left nor to the right, when all of a sudden, you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head’s in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather; and before you know it, you’re walking on air. And then you know what? You’re knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!” – Friend Owl (Bambi)

Salutations™!!

I’ve told you how much I love this DC Universe thing.  I went through the Young Justice series and now I’m doing the Green Lantern series. It’s a lot shorter but I’m enjoying it.

I don’t get paid for saying this but if you’ve not checked out the app, yet, and you’re into comics, especially DC Comics’ characters, then you really should. There’s a lot to go through. You can even read comics on the app. That’s a thumbs-up for me!

Until tomorrow, stay green…

Justice of the Younger Kind or: Outsiders

Salutations™!!

I have always talked about how I love superheroes. I love DC and Marvel and some outlying characters. I have to say that I have always been more partial to DC’s heroes. I was a huge fan of Super Friends and all its incarnations. That, of course, was the television version of Justice League.

I subscribe to DC Universe, which I talked about before, as well. I’m finding a lot to see on there and the Young Justice series has been awesome. It is basically all of the DC Universe thrown together and focuses on a lot of the Outsiders and Young Justice characters. It started in 2010 and a second season happened in 2013. This was on Cartoon Network and just this year seasons three and four are on the DC Universe app.

I’m loving that in the second season there was a Native American who wears an orange headband and has long black hair and has the ability to create a large, man-like, astral being which alludes to the character Apache Chief from Super Friends. There is an Asian girl who wears green and can control energy flow. She alludes to Samurai from Super Friends. An African American kid who wears blue and black and controls electricity, just like Black Vulcan from Super Friends. Lastly, there is a Mexican (his family is Mexican, I’m not being racist) boy who is named Eduardo Dorado, Jr. who has the ability to teleport just like El Dorado from, you guessed it, Super Friends (albeit the later versions). None of these kids were actually named any of those things, but it’s really right there in your face. I love it.

I just started season three and it’s a lot of great stuff. I don’t like some of the voice actors doing the characters. Their voices for the characters, not the actors themselves. But, the storylines are great. I’m loving this app.

You should check it out. I am not compensated at all for this, I just dig it and I pay for it.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
