Legion, my honest opinion.

Hey everybody, today I'll be talking about the series Legion. Originally I wasn't going to watch the series until later but since I read a lot of strong opinions about it I went along and watched it anyway.

Before you read further you should be aware this post contains spoilers and I'll be telling you my own opinion so it'll be my view on the series which very well could be a whole different view of yours. This doesn't mean one of us is wrong, it just means we experienced it differently.

When I started watching it didn't make a lot of sense to me. The storyline was very vague and it was exhausting to keep track with what was actually happening and what was a hallucination of David. As the series evolved it got a lot more interesting getting to know the other characters and learning about what's actually wrong with David but I have to say I found the storyline very slow.

A lot of things happened for no reason and didn't add a lot to the story. As an example the doctor, You see a lot of fragments of David's memory where he went to a psychologist. They spend a lot of time trying to find out what happened there and what he did to the doctor. When they finally find the doctor it turns out to be a set up and the bad guy's are there waiting for them but that doesn't take away we still don't know what happened.
Same story goes for his adoptive dad who used to read abusive stories to David when he was a child. The cartoon of 'the angriest boy ever' is used as a version of Farouk The Shadow King throughout the whole story but apart from that we don't really get to see the end of the story. Was his adoptive dad abusive? Were the times he read the stories hallucinations as well?

I did like the part where David was trapped by Farouk but his sub consciousness creates a different version of himself and the two David's come to learn about how to properly wage a mind control war.

I'm left with a lot of questions. What's the deal with Oliver, I'm guessing we'll learn a lot more about his gifts in season two? The Lenny we saw first in the looney bin, she was real right? Syd could see her so she must have been but than again other people claimed she was a guy the whole time? What was that all about?

Basically if found it a little bit much. I was waiting for a grand finally but it didn't really came. I had a hard time keeping track and I didn't enjoyed it as much as I'd hoped.
I'm not saying it's a bad series, I imagine a lot of people did enjoy it but it wasn't really my thing. That doesn't take away that I hope you'll enjoy it if you consider watching it!

Davos (the steel serpent)

Again an Iron fist post, I know but hey! We have to keep up with the new stuff right? Again, if you haven't watched the series you might want to wait out on this post!

As you've seen Davos is one of the brothers Danny had in K'un-Lun. Soon you kind off see how he envies Danny and really doesn't understand how he didn't become the Iron Fist. He has no feelings for humanity and sees Danny as an idiot for abandoning his post at the gates of K'un-Lun.
Seeing this I thought there might be more about this character so I looked him up. After reading a great deal about him I think we'll see a lot more of him in the future series.

In the comics Davos isn't able to get over the fact that he isn't the Iron fist and eventually he goes to the dragon Shou-Lao to challenge him. This is strictly forbidden by his father Lei Kung who is also the ruler of K'un-Lun. There is only supposed to be one Iron Fist and the chosen one can challenge the dragon, nobody els.
Davos gains the power of the Fist but is banished by his father. He than goes to earth blaming Danny for all of his misery. He called himself 'the steel serpent'.

Sounds like something that could happen don't you think? Could it be that Davos is the one who ruined K'un-Lun at the end of the series? I guess we'll see in the future series.

Daughters of the dragon

Today's post we'll talk about something that happened in the Iron Fist series. If you haven't seen it yet you might want to skip this post!

We want to talk about Colleen Wing who's one of the main characters. In the beginning of the series she participates in these cage fights for some extra cash. When the host of the fights presents her she chooses 'the daughter of the dragon' as her fighter nickname. I went out and looked it up and found something that might be a thing in the future defenders series.

There is a team up called 'the daughters of the dragon'. Colleen is part of the team but the second member is Misty Knight who was one of the main characters in the previous 'Luke Cage' franchise. The fact that these two were brought forth as main characters in both series could mean that the team up might really happen!

I for one hope these two badass women will kick ass together on television in the future.

Nelson, Foggy

You might've heard off Foggy since he's one of the main characters in the Netflix series of Daredevil. Today we'll throw a light on the comic version of Foggy.

Foggy's story starts as the roommate of Matt Murdock at Colombia University and Harvard Law School. Matt became his best friend but Foggy never knew about the powers Matt possessed.
When they graduated they opened Nelson & Murdock, a law firm in Hell's Kitchen. But when the kingpin learns who Matt really is they close the firm and Foggy goes out on his own. After opening his own firm for a brief while he learns about Matt's secret.

They had their bit of discussions but decided to re open Nelson and Murdock. This time they primarily focus on clients with supernatural problems. The firm appeared in many comics as a save haven for heroes who get sued by innocent bystanders or the government.

Who knows, maybe Foggy and Matt in the Netflix series find a way to work together in the future seasons.

Ka-Zar

You might not know about this guy but I first read about him in the deadpool and cable series and I totally dig him! Hopefully there will come some kind of movie appearance about this Tarzan like character but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you!

Son of British nobleman Lord Robert Plunder (the discoverer of vibranium by the way), Ka-Zar grew up in the Antarctic 'Savage Land'. His dad got murdered by the hands of Man-Apes and Ka-Zar was left alone in the wilderness.
Zabu the intelligent sabertoothed tiger raised the boy to become a man. In the savage land dinosaurs and man apes were still a fact and Ka-Zar learned to live amongst these ruthless creatures.

His arch enemy is his brother 'Parnival' and later during his story he marries Shanna the she- devil and becomes father of a son 'Matthew'.

He's most known as side character in other stories since a lot of villains use the savage land as a secret location for their hideout. Heroes would try to find them only to bounce up against some dinosaurs. Ka-Zar would be the mysterious man who saves the heroes by defeating the monsters that blocked their way.

Thor Girl

We all know Thor, the god of Thunder and in one of my previous posts we talked about the female version of Thor (who's Jane Foster). There is however one worthy woman we haven't discussed. Thor girl exists and is created after Thanos destroyed her home.

Tarene is the designated prophesied by X'Hoss to elevate all life to greatness. Before she could for do what she was meant to do, Thanos destroyed her home planet and stripped her off most of her powers. Thor and Orikal were able to defeat Thanos before he could destroy her.

Thor took Tarene to earth where she takes te name Thor girl (she became a big fan of her hero). Even tough she lost a great deal of power, she still had her almost immortality (like Thor) and she was also still a lot stronger than the average human being. She also has a hammer but it's not as powerful as Mjollnir. She could control the weather with it and shoot off energie beams. Unlike Mjollnir everybody can lift the thing but not everybody can wield it's powers since it takes a lot of strength.

Thor girl played her part in the secret wars where a skrull used her form to imposter. Last heard of her in the comics she was at Camp Hammond (earth). Who knows what's more in store for her.

Bucky Barnes

We all know about Bucky since he's been used in the previous MCU movies as the winter soldier. Today we'll be telling you a little about Bucky in te comic books. Not the evil winter soldier we all know but the sidekick of Captain America in his early years.

James Buchanan Barnes was a orphan boy who soon joined the army to do his part during the war. Soon he became the mascot of the Camp Lehigh base in Virginia. During this time Steve Rogers was stationed at this base and when Bucky learned that Steve was Captain America he soon became his most trusted friend and partner.

Since than they shared a lot of adventures and missions together and Bucky was always there to aid Captain America when he needed help.

The both of them were in London when one of their enemies 'Baron Zemo' (who plays a major part in the civil war movie) was attempting to steal a plane filled with bombs. As the drone plane took off Bucky leaped aboard and was apparently killed trying to defuse the bombs. Captain America fell in the lake and got frozen (as we all know).

Later Captain gets revived and becomes the leader of the avengers and also learns that the soviets had turned Bucky in the mercenary called 'the winter soldier'.

In the MCU movies they chose to kill off Bucky in a different less spectacular way and he also wasn't brought forward the way they did in the comics. As you can see the loyal servant of the Captain had his own suit.
