The Manga Review: The Dog Days of August
Pour one out for Comic Book Resources: on Wednesday, a staff member hijacked CBR’s official Twitter feed to decry parent company Valnet for firing editorial staff and abandoning the site’s commitment to in-depth reporting and thoughtful criticism. Heidi MacDonald has the details. In other news, Kadakowa’s recent efforts to remove pirate manga apps from Apple and Google went unheeded, so the…

Y'know, I don't normally comment on this kind of thing, but-
People aren't always in "perfect" circumstances that fit your little bubble? Are you aware of that?/genq
Cause Food stamps should pay to FEED people. Not give them something raw they may not be able to cook. Idgaf if it's "unhealthy". It's better than starving and going without.
My family has to have food stamps to get food reliably because my father doesn't pay a lot of child/spousal support, my mom can't work (at least rn due to disabilities and limitations), and I'm trying to get a CBRS worker to help me transition into adulthood. We also have to save for court so we can ask to move should the opportunity arise.
We have very little income. Only paycheck we are getting is through our grandma (she lives with us).
Are some of the things we buy unhealthy? Yes. Is it a way to get food into our bodies? Also yes. Do we buy healthy things too? Yes.
So shut up and be glad you are financially stable.
(also y'all need to shut up with the "hand outs" thing. It makes you guys sound jealous and bitter. Why are you so upset about people getting help?)
Solidarity
#galaxy rambles#rant#vent#jeeze i swear people have no empathy for anyone these days#i cant believe i have to tell (who i assume to be an adult) that not everyone has the same situation#and that people's lives dont revolve around one persons experience#also the handouts thing is so frickin annoying#“B-bUt tHey GoT hAndOutS thEyre ChEatiNg” and what do you want them to do? starve?

Oooh. Update. I don't care if it's written by the same person who did the interview.
I'm sick and tired of these websites doing hit pieces against Gotham Knights. I don't care why they think they "botched it." That scene was done brilliantly. The CBR reviewer needs to find a new hobby.
This is in context with the hate pieces these kinds of sites have done against Gotham Knights from the beginning--they never gave it a fair, critical chance. They just rushed in to bash it because they were feeding bitter dc stans and it's easy pageviews to hate on something.
So even in a Misha interview, about Misha things, about Misha's show, there has to be biased, J2-stanning bs that's insulting not just to Misha but to Jensen as well.
Who was it that launched save the winchesters? Who launched? Oh right. That was Jensen. Not "Jensen and Jared."
And asking Misha to comment on save the winchesters that "Jared and Jensen" allegedly both launched when...Misha has been far more vocal and persistent about supporting the show. Misha already gave his support (ahead of Jared) and the CBR interviewer just ignored that.
Just one more reason to dislike the clickbait websites.

Kyoshi books writer F. C. Yee says he’s not involved in the animated Kyoshi movie coming to theaters in 2024, set to be directed by Voltron showrunner Lauren Montgomery
We recently learned from Avatar Studios heads Bryke that the studio’s animated movies coming to theaters will not be adaptations of previous books or comics. Earlier, we exclusively revealed the subjects and dates of the first three movies, including that the first, coming 2024, will follow Avatar Kyoshi.
Put these two things together, and we know that the Kyoshi movie won’t be an adaptation/remake of F. C. Yee’s amazing Avatar Chronicles novels The Rise of Kyoshi and The Shadow of Kyoshi, but a brand-new story that will “feed off” of the expanded universe content like the books.
Now, F. C. Yee, in an interview about his next novel, The Dawn of Yangchen, has revealed that as of now, he has actually had no involvement with Avatar Studios’ animated plans and doesn’t know anything about what’s in store. Check out the full quote:
CBR: “Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DeMartino have been very hush-hush about what Avatar Studios has in store for fans in the future. Did you have much insight into what those plans are? Are there any blood oaths you want to betray by giving fans an idea of what they can expect?”
F. C. Yee: “Honestly, I have none; the novel publishing arm is a different unit. I'm as curious as the rest of the fandom!”
(Source: CBR)
Now, I’m guessing this is a bit of a PR answer just because the Kyoshi movie hasn’t been officially announced yet, but that he probably does at least know about it behind the scenes since he’s pretty important in Avatar canon right now, especially her era. But, I don’t think he’s lying about not being involved. The Kyoshi movie is Avatar Studios’ first project, which they’ve been developing in earnest for probably a year at this point, and I think if he was involved he would have already been working on it for a while. He was also writing a whole Yangchen book during that timespan, and is already planning a second, which I find to be unlikely if he was working on a huge new flagship movie. It is possible that this is just an official PR non-answer for right now, and that when the Kyoshi movie is officially announced his involvement will be revealed too, but I think right now I’m gonna take his words at face value and believe them, meaning he really isn’t involved in Avatar outside of the novels.
Well, if F. C. Yee isn’t involved, who is? The untitled Kyoshi movie is set to be directed by Voltron: Legendary Defender showrunner Lauren Montgomery and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, and Eric Coleman. It’s reported to hit theaters in 2024.

Do you think the comics are canon to the megamind verse? Because i think in one if them he was in high school, like they kept putting him and metro man (boy then) together
FAN THEORY THURSDAY – Are the Megamind Comics Canon?
Special thanks to Big-Dick-Garfield for requesting this week’s topic. Thank you for being awesome!
And, just when you thought it was safe to scroll through your Tumblr feed, it happens again: SPOILER WARNING!
There are several comic books related to our favorite blue villain-turned-hero, but there is some debate among fans concerning whether or not these can really be considered canon. There are several reasons for this, ranging from the somewhat more juvenile tone to some of the content, but in the end fan’s opinions are just that: opinions. Is there any evidence to support the Megamind-verse validity, or lack thereof, of these graphic novels? Let’s take a look!
Let me begin by saying that there is a differentiation made between the four-edition comic series, Megamind: Bad Blue Brilliant, and the prequel comic, The Reign of Megamind. Fans generally accept the former as canon while there is far more debate surrounding the latter.
This is hardly surprising as The Reign of Megamind is closer in tone to the film and keeps much of the same snarky humor. Offering insight into Megamind's villainous past, it seems to keep the same balance of dangerous darkness and slightly sweet, almost goofy, energetic humor we've come to expect from the blue alien. Furthermore, according to IMDb, was originally released at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International as part of DreamWorks’ promotion for the movie. This alone lends it more legitimacy in the eyes of many.
It doesn’t stop there, however. On the title page, The Reign of Megamind specifically states that it was “prepared for DreamWorks” as well as featuring art by DreamWorks animators. Even the director of the film Megamind, Tom McGrath, receives special thanks. All of this combined leaves little room for doubt that this particular comic can be considered canon.
As far as Bad Blue Brilliant is concerned, the question remains more open. I reached out the DreamWorks Animation and to the original creators via Twitter, but as of yet have not received any feedback on whether these comics are considered canon, non-canon, or pseudo-canon. This leaves us to consider other evidence in search of an answer.
Unlike The Reign of Megamind, Bad Blue Brilliant sometimes comes across as more childish than the film. (I mean, the dance-off at high school prom is frankly just absurd.) However, some other aspects do seem far more in-character for Megamind, Minion, and even Roxanne. Depending on the particular episode--all of which were created by different people--fans can feel more or less inclined to accept the content as legitimate.
Beyond this, it contains no art by DreamWorks animators and offers no specific gratitudes to anyone associated with the film. It is, however, copyrighted to both DreamWorks and to Ape Entertainment, who created it. Furthermore, this is not the only title related to the animation company that Ape Entertainment produced during its existence. Comics based on Shrek and Madagascar, along with a three-edition series called DreamWorks Adventures, all appeared on the comic book publisher's catelogue.
Is this really enough to consider these short graphic novels fully canon, however? Many fans say no, and they may be right. According to a 2009 article on CBR, David Hedgecock, then an artist and co-publisher at Ape Entertainment, spoke about approaching DreamWorks and coming to an agreement.
“At the suggestion of a good friend, we approached DWA in February and had the majority of the agreement wrapped up by Comic-Con this past summer. Since then, we've just been working on making cool comics and waiting for the right time to announce… we put together a plan that was conservative, sensible, and easily executed, and then we presented it to DWA with… A little common sense and a lot of passion."
This seems to indicate that, while Ape Entertainment certainly had a deal with DreamWorks, the animation studio merely agreed to give the comic book publisher the rights to create short graphic novels based upon their films, and were not themselves involved in the content. If that’s true, it’s a major difference between Bad Blue Brilliant and The Reign of Megamind, and it calls the canonical value of the former into question. However, as DreamWorks did provide the rights to create the Ape Entertainment comics, it’s difficult to denounce them as entirely non-canon. It’s unclear how much veto power DreamWorks may have had over the content of Megamind: Bad Blue Brilliant. While the content of these graphic novels should be taken with a grain of salt, they may also provide much-needed insight into the blue man’s life after becoming a hero. And there are certainly some compelling fan theories based upon Bad Blue and Brilliant, making it hard to disregard completely. (This is why I occasionally use details from this comic series as support for suppositions, but typically draw from other sources as well and remind readers that these may not be entirely canon.)
I know, I know, that does little to alleviate the confusion. So what’s the answer, then? As best as I can deduce from the evidence, The Reign of Megamind is fully canon while Bad Blue Brilliant can only be considered pseudo-canon. While the former should definitely be treated as a legitimate part of the Megamind universe, the former can be accepted or ignored at fans’ discretion. That’s not a perfect answer, but until we hear something official from someone associated with DreamWorks, it’s the best we have.
And that’s it for this week’s Fan Theory Thursday! I hope this cleared the muddy waters a bit and provided some interesting information. Until next time, my fellow Megamind fans, enjoy whichever Megamind comics you like, but keep in mind that in the case of Bad Blue Brilliant, the content is a little more questionable although not entirely without merit. Thank you for reading!

Spoiled Sushi
For a while, a certain article has been vexing me. One that seems to have a great misunderstanding of the series it was writing about, missing obvious points and core parts of the worldbuilding. No, it wasn’t by CBR, nor was it by Screenrant. But it was by Cruchyroll of all places. They decided to make an article about the Top 5 Misused Quirks in My Hero Academia. It was not good and has been bugging me. So I decided to give them a taste of their own medicine. I mean they try to shut down whoever even attempts to do what they do, so why not make fun of them for trying to do what I do? Plus you guys seem to like it when I’m snarky, so this could be fun for everyone.
For clarity’s sake, this was written at the beginning of 2019, when the most recent chapter was Chapter 214 and the the anime had only reached Season 3. I’m keeping that in mind as I write. I will also be skipping around some of the parts of the article as I am talking about it. If its not worth mentioning, I won’t bring it up, simple as that. For instance, I’m skipping the intro because it is completely superfluous and would only serve to make a completely different fanbase mad. Might as well, most of what I am passing up are just dumb jokes. But if you are curious... don’t waste your time reading this. Your time is valuable and you have better things to do then read this article.
5. Kurogiri Can Create Free, Renewable Energy
“In all seriousness, though, Kurogiri is probably one of the most powerful characters in the anime, with their being virtually no limit to how far he can extend his Warp Gate portals.”
I mean there are certainly limits for his Quirk. Besides the need to know the coordinates or see where he is moving, there’s obviously a limit to how much he can spread out his body.
“Why then doesn’t he use them to create near-infinite energy? Open two portals one above another, throw in a heavy object inside and watch it fall endlessly. Devise a way to hook a dynamo or something to it and, bam, you have free power that would make Kurogiri a billionaire overnight and a hero to the entire planet.”
This idea has so many problems that I don’t even know where to begin.
One, if this could work, it likely wouldn’t make a lot of energy. Besides the various physics problems involved in this, Kurogiri would just be one guy doing this, meaning that it’s unlikely he’d be able to make enough power to matter.
Two, Kurogiri would still need rest as he is a living being, meaning he wouldn’t to keep up this theoretical contraption forever and you’d get even less energy relying on him. At most, it would work best in a small bunker as a last resort.
Three, that sounds like it would be a lot more dangerous then it would be worth for the energy made. If Kurogiri would to lose focus for a moment, the portals fall apart and there would just be a lot of damage from this heavy object moving at high speeds.
“Even if Kurogiri only cares about taking down All Might, it would still be much easier to do if he had a literal mountain of money/public goodwill at his side.”
What kind of bizzaro universe are you living in where the guy who makes energy could possibly turn public option about the very well liked Number 1 Hero that saves lives every day? That’s literally what Lex Luthor does and people hate him for it.
4. Koji Koda Could Help Feed Billions Of People
“Koji is the resident Class 1-A stoner (get it? he's made of rock? come on) with the power to control ANY creature in the animal kingdom. This would logically also include spiders, meaning that Koji could literally end all street crime in, like, 5 minutes tops by swallowing all the criminals up in a giant arachno-tsunami.”
While this article is infuriating in many ways, it did give us the mental image of an “arachno-tsunami”. Which is totally worth sitting through this jumbled mess of words and ignorance.
“But, you see, Koji is just too shy and nice to be an effective hero. He wants to do good but he just doesn’t have that fighter instinct in him. Which is why he should instead use his Anivoice Quirk to revolutionize agriculture all around the world.”
You can be an effective hero and not beat people up. Sure, it certainly can come up in the job description, but that isn’t all of what a hero is meant to do. Koda’s Quirk makes him great at information gathering and rescue work, two very important aspects of hero work that suit his personality perfectly.
“Give him a megaphone and fly him over American fields, telling feral pigs to stop causing $1.5 billion worth of damage a year in destroyed crops. Fly him to Australia to tell the invasive cane toads and rabbits to kindly lemming themselves off a cliff. Have him tell the aggressive lionfish the get the hell out of the Atlantic. FORCE HIM TO GET OVER HIS FEAR OF BUGS AND MAKE AGRICULTURAL PESTS A THING OF THE PAST. “
There is no possible way Koda could be everywhere at once to pull that off. And considering that the average human voice can only carry for about a mile, IE, about the average size of a single farm. You know, because animals need to hear his voice in order to receive his commands. So even if it was limited to a single farm, its unlikely to do much to help. But by far the biggest issue with this entire plan is that what Koda does to an animal is not permanent. The second his control is interrupted, the animals return to normal, bound to just go back to whatever they were doing before.
So if Koda tries to change anything, its just going to end up undone by the time he leaves, just delaying the inevitable problem that comes from these animals. So even if Koda told the pigs to go away, they’d likely be back by the next day, destroying farmland like nothing happened. Even then, because of the previous limitations, he’d still have to go farm by farm to pull it off. That’s not even mentioning all of the other suggestions. Honestly, if you wanted to do something with Quirk, you should just convince all the animals to line up during hunting season. Dark, yes, but it least it would offer a more permanent solution then what the writer is suggesting.
“If Koji was utilized properly, he could travel the world undoing mankind’s mistakes and creating organic, pesticide-free crops instead of doing what he does now, which is largely sitting around on his ass roleplaying Snow White.”
Which, in spite of many fans joking about his Quirk, has shown to be very helpful quite a few times.
3. Inko Midoriya Would Have Made A Great Nurse
“Izuku’s mother in My Hero Academia has mainly done two things so far: jack and squat.”
I mean she did design Izuku’s costume, even if it got replaced, its is still a corner stone of his design, and she offered a good amount of drama after the fight with All Might and All For One.
“She did try to be a good mother but kind of failed at that when she tearfully apologized to her son because he was born without a Quirk, essentially telling him: “I’m so sorry I gave birth to such a loser.””
Would you believe that this one line was what really prompted me to talk about this? Because that is probably one of the worst takes I have ever in relation to this series. If you honestly believed that is what Inko was doing, the woman who practically raised her child by herself and constantly talks about much she cares for him, you must be watching the wrong series. That’s the only way I could explain why that is.
“So, she doesn’t really have much going on in her life. That’s why she should try nursing instead. I realize that becoming a nurse takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but Inko would be a natural fit for it. Despite her initial shortcomings, she is a very caring person with loads of empathy.”
Inko’s empathic? Could have fooled me. I mean she did feel the need to apologize to her son for giving birth to a loser. No, I am not over that, how could you have possibly gotten that from the scene?!
“She also has the power of limited telekinesis. Inko can move small objects over short distances, and while that would not be helpful for stopping crime, it would be great for, say, removing kidney stones. Or things stuck in people’s throats. Or coins from children’s stomachs.”
Trying to use a Quirk like this in any kind of medical procedure is laughable at best and dangerous at worst. Imagine if Inko had to remove a bullet from someone. From what we see, the process of her moving objects is slow and need several pulls from her to attract the object to her. So if she’s going to try to pull it out and its going to get caught on something, causing more damage to the person she is trying to save. She’s basically going to be keying the insides of whoever she is trying to operate on.
The entire reasons doctors, especially surgeons, train for so long is because the human body can be extremely delicate. It needs a lot of care and time so the doctors don’t make things worse for the patients. It’s why surgeons need to have such steady hands and a lot of time even to due minor procedures. But trying to do that with a Quirk is just going to cause more problems then it can solve. Doing that with a Quirk like Inko’s just lacks a lot of the precision and dexterity necessary to pull this off.
2. Uraraka Should Go Work For A Shipping Company
“Ochaco Uraraka has one of the most well-rounded Quirks out of all the main characters: Zero Gravity. With it, she can make objects and people float, which is great for offense, defense, and rescue operations. As a superheroine, she is doing everything right with her Quirk.”
I mean “Zero Gravity” can kind of be used offensively, but not effectively as other Quirks. Its why she did all of that training with Gun Head to make up for her lack of an offensive presence. Eh, two of three ain’t bad. I’ll take what I can get.
“I just think Uraraka should never have become a superheroine in the first place. Uraraka has actually always been honest about her motivation: she wants dem YEN YEN BILLS YO (for her struggling family.)”
That’s because hero work is an extremely frugal business even super minor heroes can still seem to make a decent living out of it.
“But regular jobs also exist in that world, and that must include shipping companies that would instantly hire Uraraka to Zero-G their freighters, trucks, and planes. Even if she cannot make them float, she can still remove enough gravity from them to save the company tons of fuel. Company profit margins are razor thin.”
First off, its mentioned several times that if you want to use a Quirk for a job, you need to have a hero license. Its to make sure you know how to use your Quirk properly so you don’t end up hurting someone with your powers. So for her to even try this, she needs to go through hero school anyway. Might as well get the most out of it. Second, Uraraka cannot lower the gravity of her target. Either the object is floating or it isn’t floating. There is no in between for Uraraka.
Third, given what we’ve seen from Uraraka, there is no possible way that she could ever lift that much. She’s barely able to lift three lower numbered robots and that was only for a few seconds. So, at the most, she can lift a few tons. How exactly do you expect her to work with something like a cargo plane, which, on its own, can weight over forty five tons, not including fuel or any extra cargo?
Which is another thing I noticed throughout the article: the writer seems to severely overestimate how effective Quirks actually are. The range and scope of Quirks is much smaller then other power systems, even when compared to similar “low level” series like HunterxHunter. Like every kind of application listed goes far beyond what most Quirks are capable of, such as forgetting certain drawbacks. And that is most notable with the last suggestion.
1. Momo Could Solve Literally All The World’s Problems
I bet Kohei Horikoshi was really proud of himself when he came up with Momo Yaoyorozu’s design: No, see, she HAS to dress scantily because her Quirk is Creation, i.e. the ability to create any object she wants through her skin, which must be constantly exposed. Peachy.”
Oh boy, it wouldn’t be any sort of discussion about Momo without beating that long dead horse. What’s next? Bakugou angry? Izuku cry?
“Momo can apparently create anything as long as she understands its composition, and seeing as she’s made an ethanol spray can, infrared goggles, a lighter, and a tracker, it seems like there’s nothing she cannot make.”
Oh boy, it wouldn’t be any sort of discussion about Momo without a grievous misunderstanding of how her Quirk works either. Maybe they are in the fandom. As I have mentioned in my Momo Misconceptions post, Momo needs fat to make what she does. She’s not an alchemist where she can just clap her hands and make whatever she wants. If she doesn’t have enough fat, she cannot make items. By those very rules, some things are just out of her reach because it would just take too much fat. It’s why she limits herself to simpler items.
“Cool. MAKE US SOME HELIUM THEN. The world is running out of the gas and we need it for MRI scanners and the like. Momo could make more of it.”
Actually, we don’t even know for sure if Momo is capable of making gases. All we have seen her make is solids and a few liquids. There is the lighter she made, but that could easily run on lighter fluid.
“Or thorium. She could make thorium that we could use to make thorium-based reactors that are apparently way safer than uranium ones.”
Thorium isn’t even that rare, just as about as common as lead and three times as common as uranium. Even if it was a problem, it would likely kill her, either from burning through all of her fat or from the exposure to radiation.
“Medicine, fresh water, cheap electronics that we could send to developing countries: Momo could crank all of those out in an afternoon.“
Yes, in theory, Momo could do that, but not the extent that she would make a major difference in the world like they are suggesting. There are just more practical and better long term solutions then trying to force a single person to do all of that. It’s almost as if Momo is a regular human being who has limitations you need to keep in mind when making these ill informed suggestions.
“And while spending your life as a walking Everything Faucet might not seem that glamorous, it actually has the potential to change the entire planet for the better.”
Given the kind of set up and effort that would be required to even attempt that, I think “horrific” would be a more appropriate descriptor since it would be done to a living, thinking person.
Honestly, I think that most of these people are doing more with their Quirks now then with any of these suggestions. At least, when you actually think about the rules and limits of the characters. Sure, Inko isn’t doing much, but she is a civilian with a fairly weak Quirk. Kurogiri acts as a major player within the League, getting them around quickly and evading capture. I mean he is using his power to help out a bunch of villains, but my point still stands that he is not “misusing” his Quirk.
In fact, a majority of the people on this list are doing more to help people and save lives by being heroes. Given the limitations of their abilities, using them to stop superpowered criminals who risking damaging the people around and helping victims of these crimes is doing then any of those roles in spite of the fact that the article tries its best to downplay that these people are already saving lives. So, in reality, they are doing far more to help people then doing any of these ideas, you damp sock of a writer.
