+R.M.F CREW With a few exceptions, I HATE the Japanese musical scores for anything Dragon Ball related. Nostalgia isn't a factor here. I got into Yu Yu Hakusho much later than Dragon Ball Z (only ten years ago, as a matter of fact), and more recently, Deen's adaptation of the Fate route in the 2006 anime Fate/Stay Night (only two years ago), and those musical scores blew me away. So there's definitely a case to be made that the original Z music just _sucked._ It's too, how do I put this... dreamy and old-school for my tastes. It felt trapped in the 1980s, even though despite being and looking like a 1980s show, Dragon Ball Z was more of a 1990s show. And Yu Yu Hakusho which was being aired at the same time, had better soundtracks. There's just no excuse Z couldn't have done better, period.

Let's not act as if domestic abuse against women is over, eh? With that said, I blame gender roles more than anything. Women have it easier in some ways (in some ways!) in that we expect them to be more emotional, so they can let it out more freely. In that sense, they have the best of both worlds while we are stuck in the position we've always been in. We've toughened up women over the past few decades. Now we need to soften men. I also know it's that mindset, boys are influenced to lead the way, and rule the world by archaic gender roles, which is why domestic abuse gets so underreported. The irony here is that those promoting gender roles and bitch about women's abuse against men will often in the same breath bring up how men are so physically superior to women, it's like comparing Schwarzenegger to a dwarf. So if that's the case, then why does this happen?

The original is better. Sorry, but T2, as good as it is, is just a repeat of the first one, but with more backstory. Plus it set the precedent for what we'd get today. It was an entirely unnecessary sequel that just threw in the headache of having Arnold come back, except as the good guy this time and thus further straining the believability that Terminators could look like anyone, of any race, gender, and so on, as well as throwing time travel confusion into the mix, which the original had none of - it was a very clear stable time loop, while T2 implies you can change the future, and shows them doing it, which makes no damned sense. I mean, think about it - it was the protector sent back in time like in the first one, it has John (replacing Sarah's role) not believing any of this craziness, it has a car chase, a police shoot-out (only at the end of the movie this time), it has another chase scene that leads to a big factory where the enemy is taken out via some industrial type machinery. It does _nothing new._ T3, for all its flaws, _did something new._ It failed, sure, and retcons the previous movie, but at least it was _trying_ to be original. I don't get that sense at all with T2. Felt like Cameron just wanted to cash in on what a success Terminator was and repeat the same story all over again.

"So Wave 1 Grimlock is as deadly as ever. Still it was nice to see both Wave 1 Arcee and Wave 1 Shockwave as well. I like both character cards so I am happy to see that those two still see play even after Wave 3."

Their business model, make the effects as lifelike as possible, is reflected in the story and characters. They no longer have the spirit of life or spark of personality they did decades ago in the golden age. Now it's "as lifelike as possible." In other words, lifeless. It's CGI that's killing the medium, shoehorning in lazier and lazier scripts and hoping the FX will carry the movie, wow people with some digital magic. And that's getting stale. In the old days, it wasn't about effects, because they were cheap, so you relied more on clever tricks, strong plot, and big-name actors who were good at their craft to carry the tale - who would attract a bit of buzz. That's just completely absent today. And I miss those days.
