Mr."Not so Terrific"

When the TV series Arrow announced it was adding the character Mr Terrific i was giddy but also knew it wouldn't exactly be from the comics like they did with most of the characters giving them the "Christopher Nolan treatment" like Ra's al Ghul and Deathstroke who I liked.I figured it would be the same without Mr. Terrific.
In the comics Mr Terrific "Micheal Holt" is one of the smartest people in the DC universe.He has the ability to pick up and retain complex skills and abilities that would take other people their whole lives to master. He's a black belt in 6 different martial arts and a Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon and is invisible to electronic detection. I knew the show would "water him down" but damn.
The version we got was a nerdy assistant to Felicity who was crazy smart which I was cool with thinking ok he's gonna get smarter and smarter as the series goes on. They showed us his orbs like in the comics,the "T" on his face even the "Fair Play" on his jacket so it was looking good.They giveth and they take it away,Curtis Holt instead of Michael Holt was an Olympian but a bronze medalist instead of gold that might sound like a small thing to some but why  do that in the 1st place.On the show he's always getting his butt kicked,acting goofy and whining it breaks my heart to watch this. The latest episode Wild Dog,O Dog,Mad Dog 20 20 whatever his name is got into Mr Terrific's head c'mon son really? Wait he does have one impressive power dude can braid his hair in seconds in one second he's in full 'fro in the base before a mission the next he's on the mission with his hair braided he needs to quit the hero game and go be a hairdresser,he could make a ton of money.
Don't get me wrong I like Echo Kellum as an actor it's just what the writers are doing to the character, like some people have said they should've stayed with him as the goofy tech guy and not touched the whole Mr Terrific thing.So here's hoping they fix this but Arrow has been constantly disappointing it's viewers.
So until next time my friends stay geeky and hungry.

Looking Forward to my 2017 Geekdom

2016 was a rough year for alot of reasons and the same can be said for the geek world there were some mediocre to bad movies,comics,video games and the deaths of comicbook creators like one of my favorite artists Darwyn Cooke.There were some bright spots like Deadpool,Captain America Civil War,Rogue One and Netflix shows like Daredevil season 2,Luke Cage,Stranger Things and The Get Down.
2017 looks like it's going to be a good at the movies. Personally I'm looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2,Spider-Man Homecoming,Thor: Ragnarok,Wonder Women and of course Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Comicbooks I'm looking forward to are basically ones I started last year Powerman and Iron Fist,Black Panther,Doctor Strange,Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps and the book that surprised me in 2016 Superman.
As far as video games I can't wait to get my hands on God of War,Injustice 2,Ghost Recon: Wildlands,Marvel vs Capcom: Infinte,For Honor and Spider-Man.
I hope you guys are looking forward to alot of things this year and don't get disappointed once you get to watch,read or play them.
Until next time my friends stay geeky and hungry.

Get My Geek Back

You've probably heard phrases like "get your groove back,swagger even mojo back" well I have to get my "Geek back". You may or may have not noticed I haven't posted anything on this blog in a long time well between family visiting from different times,my work schedule,traveling during holidays my "geekdom" has fallen to the wayside. I fell behind on my comics,tv shows and haven't touched my PS4.I was able to see Rogue One a Star Wars story which is already in my top 3 of Star Wars movies and got to sneak away to watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special.
Now that the holidays are over and there won't be anymore visits from people or trips anywhere for awhile I can get back to it.I plan on catching up on my comics,give my PS4 the attention it deserves and posting more and redesigning this blog.There are some stuff that's in the planning stages that I can't talk about right now but hopefully will be coming soon and it should be fun.
As I get my "Geek back" until next time my friends stay geeky and hungry.
