The Future of Civil War

 You might not know this, but I have the power to predict the future. I was able to predict that Palutena was going to be on Smash  months before she was announced , I kept saying  that Ubisoft was going full EA from Assassin's 3 and I knew that the last Hunger Games book was going to be split from the moment I heard there are 3 books,among other things. I was also able to predict some smaller things about my personal life, so understandably I have started calling myself "The Great Prophet". So I am once again going to predict the future right now. I am going to predict the plot of Captain America 3: Civil War. So I guess spoilers forthe future movies Avengers 2 and Cap 3, as well as the general comics story Civil War. So don't come crying to me when I am innevitably correct on what I say(however don't shy away from sacrificing your first-born on my name if you feel the need to do that).

 What is the War going to be about? Well I feel that the general main theme is going to be the same. For some reason  the american goverment passes a law that forces heroes to reveal their identities ,get military training and work under SHIELD as basicly police men. That is called the Super Human Registration Act, and if someone doesn't register they are hunted and put to prison. Even people like the Punisher are asked to register even thought they lack powers. Villains are also allowed to register. Naturally some heroes are pro registration and some are anti registration, but I will go deeper on those later.

 Why does the war start? In the comics a hero team called New Warriors  causes a mutant villain  named  Nitro to explode in a populated area killing 600 people including 60 kids and all the Warriors but one. That causes the American goverment to push the Act. If you think that kinda sounds like a 9/11 alegory , you are kindaright. It is even name dropped once in the comics. However I don't think that is how it will go down in the movie. Firstly I don't think anyone will want to draw any paralels with 9/11 for a Superhero movie. Secondly, the New Warriors story won't work, mostly because they have no movie and Nitro, being a mutant, currently is under Universal Studios. I believe that the begining factor is going to be in Age of Ultron.  In the trailer we can see Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch at the side of Ultron( allright let's get sidetracked here for a sec. Does anyone else feel it's a waste that Scarlet Jonhason won't play Scarlet Witch? Or that since Ryan Reynolds will play Deadpool for Universal he is unlikely to play Sentry aka Robert Reynolds?Let's get back on track). Also the fact that Iron Man brings out the Hulkbuster I feel that Hulk will be one more factor.

 Who plays on which team? I don't think the sides will change that much. Iron-man and Maria Hill will be pro and Cap, Falcon and Fury will be anti. Black Panther was also announced to appear , and he will either keep the same role as the comics (anti) or he will most probably become neutral. Also the fact that we will Ant-Man between Avengers 2 and Cap 3, Hank Pym will keep being team pro with Scott Lang ( 2nd Ant-man but the main guy on the movie) will follow him,but this is were my visions get hazy.Now about the rest of the Avengers IF they play I guess Hulk,Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be either anti or hiding,Thor pro or neutral(Thor was ...complicated in the comics),and Hawkeye and Widow are wildcards to the point that I won't be surprised to have them end on opposite sides but I can't tell which. People who have read the comics know why this is tragic. Everyone who has an interesting Civil War story is missing. The Fantastic Four split up during the whole endeavor but are owned by another company, She-Hulk is Pro but fights the registration legally  but she doesn't exist yet, but the most tragic loss is Spiderman. Spiderman is right in the midle of the War, Tony Stark almost blackmails him amd he takes of the mask on a press conference and when he switches sides he almost dies at the hands of Ironman trying to protect Mary Jane and May while they get out of the Stark building, and when they move to a cheap hotel  Aunt May gets shot by a sniper send from Kingpin to kill Parker, and then the later brings back the black suit. And then Sony denied to make THAT story to a movie. Dumbasses.Instead we will have the story of the two most boring characters. It has one interesting thing from my point of view.Tony Stark is the guy that you are supposed to be against yet the one that has legit reasoning, while Cap is the one you are rooting for,  but he is dumb as a brick. I guess you can make a movie out of this.

 Who wins? Now this is the tricky part.Well in the comics, during the final showdown,New York is getting destroyed by the battle bewtween heroes. The death count was I think 60 something people, only two of them heroes. Captain America realizes that what he is doing doesn't help the average american and gives himself to the police. Later, he still claims that he believes the registration is wrong. Ironman becomes the SHIELD main guy and the majority of heroes and now "good" villains were separated to 50 different smaller teams throught Stark's 50 state initiative to police each state, and Stark with Ms.Marvel(my 2nd favourite female hero btw) formed the Mighty Avengers. Some of the anti-reg heroes kept underground, with Spiderman giving his marriage to the Mephisto (yes,Satan)  to remove everyone's memory of his secret identity, while other heroes fleed to Canada. Is this going to happen in Cap 3? NO! Why? Look at the title: CAPTAIN AMERICA: Civil War. Also we are planing this Avengers Infinity War thingy and we kinda want Cap on it. My guess is that really they just want to have Cap and Stark trading punches without raping the Movie Universe up the B-hole. I believe that now Stark will be the guy realizing he is wrong and give up. That way we have both of them nice and friendly.

 To summarize, the reason will be different, most of the main and interesting characters from the comics will be missing, sides could be different, and the outcome might get reversed. That is prophesied by me, The Great Prophet.

Darthleon's Small Subjects 2

The Youtube Ads of DOOM

 Alright I am joking I don't mind most of them. The of DOOM ones thought are the ones that annoy me the most.You know what makes them Ads of DOOM? In the 5 seconds it takes for me to skip them the of DOOM ads ask me to not press the skip button."If you press skip my father won't buy me a lolipop." says a little boy from an ad for car insurance company.A lesser man would probably write some kind of joke giving accurate anatomic instructions  on how one could pontentially insert said lolipop in his body."If you are full of positive energy you won't press skip." says an ad for a juice. Well good thing that I am an incurable passive agressive jerk and thus don't qualify."You,yes you, that is about to press skip,wait to learn about our new offer.."says an ad from a company that wants to sell me internet,obviously lacking the common sense that I am online when I am viewing this very ad. Naturally when you tell me to not press skip expect me to start pressing skip 2 seconds before the timer runs out.Kuddos however to the Youtube ads of LOVE, who are 4 seconds long, get to the point and don't force me to turn on Spotify to listen to music.

Shyamalan Videogame

Yes,I said it.I will agree that Shyamalan has a pretty bad track record. He is a pretty bad writer and a pretty bad producer, and let's not even talk about his acting.But let's admit something: Even in his worse, he can makes things look pretty.I hate the Avatar movie as much as the next person but both the fight in Pohuai Stronghold(read: the fight that Aang is acombanied by the Blue Spirit) and the scene in the Spirit Oasis are very good looking. After Earth also LOOKED very nice,especially whenever  Jaden wasn't in the picture.So take Shyamalan in,and have him direct things.Keep him as far away from the writing desk and the gameplay department and have him just direct scenes and maybe design locations.As a guy that stands by his opinion that Journey is the best game he has ever played  and believes that Bioshock Infinite was beter before the guns were introduced I believe it is worth our time  to at least try.Worst case senario he makes a horrible game. It's not like we don't have any of those is it? If noone has done that before my game company is famous enough to hire him , I  give my word I will do it. Of course I will be holding a ruler with which to smack his hands every time he goes near the writers.

The Evilest of Plans(part 1)

 You might not know this yet, but one day you are all going to be under my rule.I shall conquer this pitiful planet with nothing more than Metax and my genius.Understadably you may wonder:"How can you even dream such things?".Well you see I have my plans.One of them is a bomb in a city of strategic significance."But darthleon,haven't you seen spy movies? The good guy always defuses the bomb with like 1 second left ."That's is when my plan shines. My bomb will randomly chose  a timestamp that,once reached,the bomb will explode.That way when someone looks at the bomb he might think that he has enough time but trully he doesn't know when the bomb will really go off. Naturally the randomly chosen time will not be 0 or 00:01. Maybe 00:02 . Haven't decided yet.

Mr Old Darthleon

 Alright I am going to totally sound like my grandpa but fuck it,most of these small subjects is me complaining about trivial shit anyway.So facebook.Yes by the mere mentioning of the word many of you already agree with me,no matter the subject, but let's continue anyway.People on facebook write in many ways. Take my father for example,he rights nice and clean greek. Some other people ,maybe to "sound" deep or smart, overuse punctuation marks with complete disregard to their true use........... Others,like myself,chose to write in greeklish, which is the writing of greek words with english symbols,like Leonidas.Then others wrt lk ths.Tht's stpd n anng n it gvs me hedchs.I know that I can understand it but I would like to be able to read your shit without needing drugs and a stupid to greek translator. Again, I know I sound like my grandpa and it's ironic that I write in greeklish but at least we have orthography(yes that is a word,yes it is like that in english).
