Les rumeurs indiquent qu'Apple pourrait annoncer la série iPhone 15 le 13 septembre 2023. Cette date est basée sur le fait que Samsung a déjà annoncé ses téléphones pliables pour 2023 et que Google ne devrait pas entrer en scène avec ses téléphones Pixel de nouvelle génération avant octobre. Apple a annoncé l'iPhone 14 le 7 septembre 2022, donc il est possible que la société choisisse de maintenir son calendrier d'annonce annuel. Spécifications La série iPhone 15 devrait comporter quatre modèles : iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Mini, iPhone 15 Pro et iPhone 15 Pro Max. Les modèles 15 et 15 Mini sont censés être équipés du processeur A16 Bionic, tandis que les modèles Pro sont censés être équipés du processeur A17 Bionic. Tous les modèles devraient avoir un écran OLED, mais les modèles Pro devraient avoir un taux de rafraîchissement de 120 Hz, tandis que les modèles standard devraient avoir un taux de rafraîchissement de 60 Hz. Les modèles Pro devraient également avoir un troisième objectif arrière, tandis que les modèles standard n'en auraient que deux. Prix On s'attend à ce que la série iPhone 15 soit plus chère que la série iPhone 14. Le prix de l'iPhone 15 Pro pourrait augmenter de 100 $, tandis que le prix du modèle Pro Max pourrait coûter près de 200 $ de plus. Cette augmentation de prix est due à l'utilisation de matériaux plus coûteux, tels que le titane et la céramique. Disponibilité L'iPhone 15 devrait être disponible en précommande le 15 septembre 2023 et en vente le 22 septembre 2023. Apple ne devrait pas faire face à des retards d'approvisionnement comme il l'a fait au cours des 2 dernières années.

Guide comparatif : iPhone 14 Pro Max versus iPhone 13 Pro Max

Introduction

Dans le monde des smartphones, Apple a toujours été un leader incontesté, repoussant constamment les limites de l'innovation. Avec le lancement de l'iPhone 14 Pro Max, la marque a encore une fois élevé la barre. Mais comment se compare-t-il à son prédécesseur, l'iPhone 13 Pro Max ? Dans ce guide comparatif, nous allons examiner de près ces deux titans du monde des smartphones (comparer iphone 14 pro à iphone 13 pro)

Design et Affichage

L'iPhone 14 Pro Max et l'iPhone 13 Pro Max partagent beaucoup de similitudes en termes de design. Ils sont tous deux dotés d'un cadre en acier inoxydable, d'un dos en verre mat et d'une finition haut de gamme qui est devenue la marque de fabrique d'Apple. Cependant, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max introduit une nouvelle couleur, le noir sidéral, qui ajoute une touche de sophistication supplémentaire

En ce qui concerne l'affichage, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max est équipé d'un écran Super Retina XDR de 6,7 pouces, tout comme l'iPhone 13 Pro Max. Cependant, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max introduit une nouvelle technologie d'écran LTPO, permettant un taux de rafraîchissement de 120Hz pour une expérience visuelle plus fluide.

Performance et Capacité

L'iPhone 14 Pro Max est alimenté par le nouveau processeur A16 Bionic d'Apple, qui offre une amélioration significative des performances par rapport à l'A15 Bionic de l'iPhone 13 Pro Max. Que vous jouiez à des jeux gourmands en ressources, que vous éditiez des vidéos 4K ou que vous utilisiez des applications de réalité augmentée, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max est conçu pour gérer sans effort les tâches les plus exigeantes. En termes de capacité, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max offre jusqu'à 1 To de stockage, tout comme l'iPhone 13 Pro Max. Cela signifie que vous aurez amplement d'espace pour toutes vos photos, vidéos, applications et plus encore.

Caméra et Autonomie de la Batterie

L'iPhone 14 Pro Max est équipé d'un système de caméra pro révolutionnaire, tout comme l'iPhone 13 Pro Max. Cependant, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max introduit des améliorations significatives, notamment une meilleure performance en basse lumière et la possibilité de filmer en ProRes, une première pour les smartphones. En ce qui concerne l'autonomie de la batterie, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max promet une durée de vie de la batterie encore plus longue que celle de l'iPhone 13 Pro Max, grâce à l'efficacité du nouveau processeur A16 Bionic et à des améliorations dans le logiciel iOS.

Conclusion

En somme, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max constitue une évolution impressionnante par rapport à l'iPhone 13 Pro Max. Avec une technologie d'écran améliorée, un processeur plus puissant, des capacités photographiques améliorées et une meilleure autonomie de batterie, il offre une expérience utilisateur nettement supérieure. Cependant, l'iPhone 13 Pro Max reste un choix solide pour ceux qui sont satisfaits de ses performances et qui ne voient pas la nécessité de passer à la dernière version. Si vous envisagez d'acheter un nouveau smartphone, vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper avec l'un de ces appareils. La décision se résumera à vos besoins spécifiques et à votre budget. Pour ceux qui veulent le meilleur que la technologie a à offrir, l'iPhone 14 Pro Max est sans doute le choix évident. Pour les autres, l'iPhone 13 Pro Max offre toujours des performances exceptionnelles à un prix légèrement inférieur. Read the full article

I would pay for your view on the hades town lyric rework for broadway and stuff, because i myself have some OPINIONS

OK i didn’t answer thsi when i first got it because i hadn’t digested everything in full, but i ABSOLUTELY have opinions on this, to an absurd degree.

Full disclosure upfront, I wildly prefer the NYTW version to the Broadway version, with the exception of one or two really awesome things from Broadway (the bridge in Wait For Me, for example, or making the parallels in Persephone and Hades’ climate change theme more emphatic in Chant I, etc.). I’m a big fan of subtlety and abstractions and stuff like that, and I feel like the NYTW version has a lot more understated nuance than the Broadway version.

Like, I get why they made the changes they did—they appeal more broadly to a wide audience and make the story easier to understand, but unfortunately, doing so removes some of what I liked best about the original version.

Without a doubt the thing that has me the most miffed about the changes to the Broadway version was the loss of Persephone’s “when I was a young girl” part in Chant II. On top of hands down being my absolutely favorite part of the show, I felt removing it stripped her of a lot of her own agency in the story.

Rather than being someone who just like, exists, and is running around in Hadestown and is something that Hades wants back, she instead like, she loves him! she wants him to get his shit together! she’s disillusioned and tired and frustrated about being controlled all the time, but he’s still someone that she loved and still loves and wants to fix things with.

I feel like they do express the relationship between Hades and Persephone more overly in other songs than they do in the NYTW, which I think is great, but Seph losing that part of Chant II I felt was a bad move.

Honestly, in that verse, the changes they made over time before gradually removing it were perhaps the most telling shift in the role that Persephone’s character serves. In the first iteration, it’s about her. Then in the second and third iterations, it’s about how Orpheus can save the day.

No longer is it a woman supporting another woman in her pain, but it’s been transformed into a woman talking about a guy who can hopefully get her husband over himself. While I think having that information somewhere in the play is fine, I don’t think they should have cut Seph talking about her own feelings with Euridice in that way to showcase it. Plus I LOVED the parallels between her talk and Hades’!

Of course, then it’s cut altogether, which is almost worse ):

Another thing that bothers me a bit about the Broadway version is that it lost some of its intensely Southern influence. Obviously, Andre De Shields is a great actor and a lot of fun, but the NYTW really captured like, old timey country music in Hades and Hermes’ musical styles.

Hades, of course had and has that old, like, talk-singing country style, and Hermes had that really jazz-blues thing going on. And with the fates all Gospel choir, the southern influence was abundantly clear. But my personal opinion is that De Shields doesn’t bring enough lively energy to the role of Hermes, and I don’t prefer his performance.

All of that said, I LOVE Hadestown! The Broadway version may not do it for me, but this is still one of my favorite musicals. I’ll die happy if they release a proshot of the NYTW version, without a doubt.

@les-bionic-titan It makes me so, so happy to know you’ve been around so long and that you’re still here and enjoying the ride! I just can’t describe how excited I am to know that you remember starting the fic so fondly, and that you’re still keen to read it. Thank you so very much!

Dimples and Silk!

Mint Mocha and Jasmine!

Combining the two!! I got distracted so I’m only answering now but thank you for supporting me friendo!!

~

Dimples: Would you rather be invited on a hike or a night out?

A night out sounds really fun!!! Hikes are nice too, but only if I had a head’s up. The last time I went hiking, well, it was a surprise…

Silk: List songs you listen to for a jam.

Lizzo’s my go-to! But I tend to play Spotify recs whenever I want a soundtrack for whatever I’m doing (like working or cleaning). I like r&b, hip hop, pop punk, whatever’s got a good beat that distracts me is good in my book.

Mint Tea: How do you relax? (not sure which one you meant by mint mocha, but i hope you were asking for this one?)

Infalliable stress-relief: character development! You know I have a need to fantasize about pretty girls who can kick butt, & my ocs fill that need in me. I take quizzes for them, write down scenarios, etc. I also watch mindless YT videos - really, anything that can entertain me & help me forget my problems.

Jasmine Tea: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

This is different from my dream trip since the stakes sound a lot lower with this question’s phrasing. I’d love to go to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’ve only heard really good things about its people and sightseeing in South America sounds so relaxing.

(questions from this & this ask meme. please do not send in any new ones!) 

[candyredterezii]

Something entirely unrelated to you reminded me of Mr. Blobby. I'm sure that some how this is your fault 😠

[littlestr]

blush: what could someone do this valentine’s to make you feel special?

Oooohhhhh hmmmmm Idk, I think, just be there for me and give me some romantic gift, like a poem, chocolate or anything other Valentine Day’s related. But just being there would be best. But like, I wouldn’t mind a gift either ofc.As long as it’s not a Harry Potter themed gift. I ALREADY HAVE SO MANY IT’S ENOUGH

Alpha Centurion War:

Amelia Himmat Mishra in ancient ruins after fighting through many mystical monsters, beasts, animals, & creatures from Hindu myths and legends with her celestial and divine Khanda sword had found a vimana. A god or a demigod did not lead her to the vimana but she found it on her own after journeying on a quest and expedition as an adventurer. Vimanas are like what people in the West call chariots or flying machines and it is used as a transportable chariot throne. The condition she found it in was it was covered in dirt, rubble, dust, moss, & vines. Amelia Himmat Mishra said after cleaning the grime off the vehicle, “When I found the vimana it was extremely damaged with so many parts missing as it was broken by what looked to be divine and celestial weaponry that had destroyed the vimana’s celestial defensive fortifications and destroyed the vimana’s divine defensive weapons.” The vimana that is in poor condition was similar to her struggles of being treated with prejudice and discrimination. Ever since she was young Amelia has had experiences of homophobia, ableism, colorism, anti-Asian racism, & antiblackness for being bisexual, being disabled, being darkskinned, being a cyborg or bionic, being mixed, & being a mixed Black woman of color, & being a mixed South Asian Indian woman of color. Amelia said, “Reading the ancient texts near the prehistoric temple of the ancient temple I later discovered that it was used in the ancient past during the time of the gods, demigods, & titans it was used to transport armies during war in the ancient past during war between the demigods, gods, & titans.” Amelia said, “It is in need of extensive repairs and requires widespread upgrades inside and outside to function again.” As an inventor, engineer, & mechanic she decided to repair it to peak condition. She later upgraded it into a futuristic version as an intergalactic inventor, engineer, mechanic, doctor, scientist, & surgeon. She upgraded it over the course of two thousand years as a metahuman and superhuman. Amelia said, “I later upgraded it to have defenses such as advanced plasma and hard light shields, an advanced forcefield, & active reflective camouflage with a personal smart AI.” “It can only be used by me and people that I trusts as I upgraded it to be keyed to only them and I and can only be unlocked by me and people that I allow inside using a biometric scanner, fingerprint scanner, voice recognition, & eye scanner.” The only people who can use this vimana are Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith, Chun Hei Kim, Laurissa Owen Maximiliana Jones, Valeria Garcia, & Maysa Himmat Mishra. “I later built advanced offensive weapons and advanced defensive weapons such as hard light machine guns that can tear apart combat armor, plasma Gatling guns that can rip apart power armor, a rail gun (that can rip apart mech suits, walking tanks, & small spaceships), & photon ion cannons (that can rip apart frigates, corvettes, & destroyers.” Vimanas vary in purpose and in size and this vimana has like some has the potential to be used as a weapon. She deciding to repair and later upgrade the vimana was comparable to her own physical, emotional, mental, metaphysical, & spiritual condition. It was also corresponding to her coming to terms with her identity of being lgbt, being disabled, being darker skinned, being Black, & being mixed South Asian Indian. It is a symbol of her embracing her merit, value, & self worth. Her parents were welcoming open minded and being warm to Amelia growing up and teaching her that she can be anything she wanted to be which is the reason she decided to be proud of who she is. Her mother who was Black British taught her to be proud of her dark skin and to be proud of being Black while her father taught her to be proud of being South Asian and proud of being Indian. His conflict with Maysa Nabila Uzun her wife is not about Amelia being bisexual and not about Maysa being Muslim or Maysa being lesbian but something else. Since he is very decolonized in many aspects but colonized in some aspects. Decolonization is mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual and to decolonize one must be self aware but sadly most are not. Amelia she controlled the vimana with the gifts given to her by the sun god Surya of the Hindu pantheon is a deity that rises and sets the sun like the Greek god of the sun Apollo. Surya is the god who brings light and carries the sun across the sky in his golden chariot pulled by seven horses. The vimana has been used in the past to transport armies as a troop transport in ancient war. It is therefore colossal so she uses it as a personal mode of transportation as a superhero the Blue Bionic and as an antihero the Crimson Cyborg, as a personal HQ as a superhero and secret lair as an antihero and supervillain, & as a mobile operating base as a soldier.  

With her powers given to her by Vishnu and Shiva in combat as both creator and destroyer she can summon ethereal or wraithlike four arms to wield more weapons divine and celestial weapons such as celestial and stellar spears or swords gifted to her as their hero and champion. When she uses her powers gifted by the gods and goddesses including her ultimate vision her bindi radiates crimson, her henna body markings on her right biological arm smolder sapphire, her cybernetic right leg burn ruby, & her bionic left arm blaze azure. When she was tested by the gods and goddesses to become their champion and hero she was tested by Asuras and Devas. She almost lost to the Asura’s temptation when they fed off her negative emotions that included fury, hatred, wrath, & rage. This caused her to almost fail their test. This is why when she uses her powers an Asura and a Deva both appear behind her. Her older brother Isha Jayesh Mishra who was a fellow champion and hero of the other gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon did not have this flaw of rage and fury but the flaw of pride and arrogance. In combat in the military Amelia wore combat armor and power armor. In combat Maysa wore a flight suit and piloted a mech suit and wore combat armor while she was a driver of a walking tank. Amelia having a bindi is because she feels in tuned and accepting of her Indian background as a mixed South Asian Indian woman of color. “I do not wear a bindi to conform to patriarchal society or even to conform to cisheteronormative society.” “To me having a bindi is by choice, free will, & independence.” “As an intersectional Black feminist I believe choice, sovereignty, autonomy, & independence is agency and agency to me is empowerment.” Amelia has matching henna body markings with her wife Maysa Nabila Uzun-Mishra. “My training and experience as an inventor, mechanic, engineer, doctor, & surgeon is that I build, upgrade, & repair hard light plasma weapons, combat armor, power armor suits, mecha suits, walking tanks, robots, synthetics, androids, Artificial Intelligences, & space ships for the Sol and Vega Star System Federation Military privately as a private contractor.” “Publically I have also built, repaired, & upgraded robots, synthetics, androids, Artificial Intelligences, & space ships for the intergalactic community.” “Publically I have also designed world ships, colony ships, & space ships for the public.” “Also as a disabled mixed Black woman of color (with cyberware implants, a bionic left arm, & a cybernetic right leg) I build, upgrade, & repair cybernetic prosthetics, bionic prosthetics, & cyberware implants for disabled people for cheap amounts of gold cash & credits publically.” She is building, repairing, & upgrading the bionic cybernetics prosthetics, bionic prosthetics, & cyberware implants cheaply so she can serve metahuman and superhuman alien and human citizens as a philanthropist and humanitarian. She wants to help the community and so she charges low prices for these services. Amelia is accepting her diverse talents and abilities even though she is disabled. If you think she can do something remember she is disabled and if you don’t think she can do something remember she is disabled. She wants to give back to the disabled community that she is a part of as someone disabled and so she builds aids for them at an inexpensive rate.   “I am a builder, artisan, engineer, & craftsman.” “The terminology of engineer and inventor is how the west and colonial and imperialist ideals would describe me, but it is not how my own culture or how I would describe myself.” “I have told her equals in my field, the media, & the public that the expression craftsmen, builder, designer, artisan, & or creator would be how I would personally describe myself as.” Her Black British mother and South Asian Indian father felt proud about her divine and celestial gifts as she was continuing her family’s legacy before colonialism. Her mother felt pleased about her careers as an artisan, creator, designer, craftsmen, & builder. They were accepting of her being bisexual and it was her friends that were homophobic and biphobic that caused her to escape to Kashmir where she got her divine and celestial gifts and powers from the Hindu pantheon. Kashmir is peaceful in Amelia’s time so it made sense for her to escape there not like now in our time. Kashmir a conflict free place in the 22nd century and it is its own sovereign independent nation free from the control of both India and Pakistan in Amelia’s time. Amelia in the near future still realizes the political ramifications from learning about it in history class in college after seeing the fallout of what occurred in our modern time. Her parents are sympathetic, receptive, and accepting most of the time but are sometimes conventional, strict, and firm. This has caused a conflict and discord between them and their daughter and has led to many arguments and disagreements. Her parents they accept her as bi and queer but they require her to be conformist in some ways. Amelia Himmat Mishra said, “My first big fight and argument with my mother that didn’t involve my fighting or my aggression and violence was about my decision to join the Sol and Vega Space Rebel Armed Forces.” “You see my mother as a Black British woman of color she was a member of a futuristic version of the 21st century British SAS.” “She met my dad who had his shop near her base.” “It’s the sappy as hell love story she always tells me.” “She was so proud to fight for the Earth Space Armed Forces as a black ops and spec ops metahuman and superhuman soldier.” “She was a highly decorated officer as a general just like my older brother Isha Jayesh.” “She was so disappointed when I never made colonel and only made it to lieutenant, captain, & later major because of my violent and aggressive tendencies that demoted me because I got into too many scuffles with fellow officers.” “She always compares me to my older brother who was the golden boy to her despite me also being a fellow warrior and soldier.” “My older brother Isha Jayesh was the perfect child in her eyes, the one who made it to major, then, colonel, and then general.” “Who gives a shit?!” “I am not mad at Isha, not really, I am proud he made it that far up the ranks.” “I am just pissed the bloody hell off cuz my mum always compares me to him!” “She expected me to uphold that tradition.” “She didn’t understand why I wanted to fight against Earth and the Terran military.” “She didn’t want me to fight against colonialism, imperialism, neocolonialism, & occupation by Earth over the Sol System and Vega System and by the Terran Empire over the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way Galaxy.” “My mother didn’t understand I didn’t want to fight for occupiers and subjugators.”  “I wanted to fight for justice, liberty, & freedom.” “My mother was so disappointed when I joined the enemy as she called it.” “My biggest problem with my mother was she was fighting for colonizers and imperialists.” “As a South Asian Indian woman of color I could never do that.” “It goes against my morals and my code.”

Amelia’s paternal side of her South Asian Indian father was the first caste cleric rank and second caste warrior rank during colonial India when they were under British, Dutch, & French colonialism. But because of not submitting to colonizers and to the imperialists her family is demoted to the fourth class of laborers. The “demotion” is long forgotten. The caste system by birth was expelled during the 22nd century. Her father does doubt his social group but he is content and satisfied serving his community and society by repairing, upgrading, & building hover cars and hover motorcycles for the community as that is what he is talented at by natural inclination caste system that was implemented instead just like during the days of the Hindu Vedas. These principles, morals, & beliefs are why Amelia and her siblings grew up mostly humble with the modest background. Her father he doesn’t expect Amelia Himmat Mishra, her older sister Lavanya Sunita Mishra, or her older brother Isha Jayesh Mishra to be obedient to the demands of British colonizers or compliant to orders of French imperialists. Amelia and her brother being the second class of warriors as soldiers, her older sister being the third class of a merchant as a mogul and second class as a politician, & her being the third class of artisan as a designer and craftsmen is not a continuation of their father’s career as he is a manual worker the fourth class as a mechanic. It is also not a continuation of a long lost heritage and tradition as her ancestors were priests who were the first class who talked to the divine and the spiritual and warriors who were champions of the celestial. Amelia’s ancestors did not want to covert to the oppressor’s beliefs and subjugator’s creed. So being put in the laborer caste was not their suit. They tried to fight back against the colonizer tyranny and imperialist suppression and fought against the forced conversion from Hinduism to Catholicism. This is why the gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon chose her and her older brother to be their champion as they were both former warriors as veteran soldiers who have clerics and warriors for ancestors. Her family in the ancient past was also their chosen heroes and champions as they were warriors and clerics. Since her father didn’t uphold that bequest now she and her older brother do. Her father does not believe in the by birth caste system but believes in the caste system by natural inclination. He is satisfied that she and her siblings are building their own legacy and inheritance and not just following in his own. Her father and mother are tolerant and freethinking in most aspects but old-fashioned and conventional in some aspects. He believes in the natural inclination caste system. This is a system where each caste has the same worth, importance, merit, & significance to the citizens and to the civilization where a person is born and over the course of his/her/their existence his/her/their talents, skills, & gifts establish his/her/their caste. In the natural inclination caste system the castes are how the community contributes their abilities and skills to serve their society. With the by birth caste system people are born into a social order and stay there and people are oppressed. There are no untouchables as this group was a social construction used to oppress an entire society. The caste system by birth, which is a distortion of the caste system by natural inclination that was created in Hindu sacred text the Vedas, is a result of years of colonialism and imperialism since India was colonized and was under imperialism under many societies such as the Danish, French, Danish, Portuguese, & British. Amelia’s father is a laborer as a mechanic which is the fourth class of the caste system. Amelia she is in the third class as she is a builder, creator, designer, & artisan while her older sister is in the third class or possibly second caste as a merchant, politician, & business CEO. Since her father taught her about the natural inclination caste system her older sister her siblings chose other careers that suited their talents and skills. Lavanya Sunita is a merchant as a business person and second class as a politician and elected official of the cosmic senate of the intergalactic congress. While her brother Isha Jayesh is a warrior as a soldier and as an intergalactic police officer and intergalactic special agent. When she was a child Amelia wanted to be in the third caste like her dad and be a manual worker as a mechanic. She doesn’t see why she can’t be in the third class like her father and use her talents, abilities, & skills. Her father as a laborer in the caste system by natural inclination builds, repairs, & upgrades hover bikes, hover sport bikes, hover motorcycles, & hover cars on the colonized and terraformed planet Mars of the Sol System. Growing up Amelia, Lavanya, & Isha all helped her father as a mechanic as in the natural inclination caste system they haven’t yet found their niche and role in society. To help train herself in the future to be an engineer and inventor she worked with him in his occupation as a laborer on hover: cars, bikes, & motorcycles with her father and her older siblings in his shop on Mars until she was a young adult. Her brother Isha Jayesh stopped helping around the shop when it was found that his caste would be a warrior as a soldier and paramilitary intergalactic intelligence agent (think CIA, MI6, KGB, & NSA) and cosmic law enforcement agent (think futuristic version of the FBI, SWAT, MI5, & DEA). Her sister Lavanya Sunita stopped helping around the shop when it was found her caste would be a merchant and leader as a mogul, industrialist, politician, & elected official with the natural inclination caste system. As a kid Amelia built her own hover bikes and hover boards once she saw her dad build some for her siblings. To train herself as an artisan, craftsmen, & designer Amelia she has designed the body and the paint job of the cars, motorcycles, & sport bikes. As a mogul her older sister Lavanya Sunita Mishra later helped her and her dad sell these designs to the public. As a kid she imagined them, her and her older siblings, building, repairing, & upgrading hover tuner cars, hover muscle cars, hover luxury sedans, hover trucks, hover sport bikes, & hover motorcycles together with their father on Mars. But it was not meant to be as when she was a preteen and when her siblings were teenagers her siblings’ function and roles were found. Her sister was discovered to be savvy in terms of business, trade, policy, industry, commerce, & politics. Her brother was discovered to be physically, mentally, & emotionally strong and became a super soldier. He later became a leader as a military officer, law enforcement and intelligence officer. This is because Isha became a general in the military and director of a law enforcement and intelligence agency. Amelia meanwhile was discovered to be an intelligent, gifted, clever, & smart prodigy and genius as a mechanic, engineer, craftsmen, designer, & inventor. This is also why she builds, upgrades, & repairs weapons, combat armor, power armor, mech suits, walking tanks, robots, synthetics, androids, AIs, & space ships for the intergalactic military. Amelia she built hard light technology and equipment at only thirteen. She was sent to an academy on Triton when it was discovered that she built her own advanced android and robot synthetic in high school far away from school across the Sol System. She was devastated and distressed that she could not be what her father was. Her father told her about his thoughts about the natural inclination caste system and the birth caste system. He tells her that even though he is a laborer it does not mean she or her older siblings need to be. She can be a warrior or soldier. Her older sister she can be a merchant as a business woman and elected official. Amelia she can be an artisan and creator. Her older brother could be a warrior as a soldier. She does not have to conform to his caste system like in the by birth caste system just to please him or entertain society. She was told by her father to pursue her own dreams and goals. So to feel close to her father as a hobby while listening to Chun Hei Kim’s original rock, rap, hip hop, & pop music Amelia builds, repairs, & upgrades with Maysa Nabila Uzun, Chun Hei Kim, & Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith and even participles in intergalactic races with them. Chun Hei Kim is an intergalactic: fashion designer, clothing designer, make up designer, & model, philanthropists, entrepreneur, business mogul, CEO (of a movie company, video game company, fashion label, & music label), director, producer, actress, voice actress, video game streamer, video game designer, singer, rapper, & music producer known throughout the planet, solar system, & galaxy of this universe, multiverse, & omniverse and so is a best friend of her and her older sister Lavanya Mishra the business mogul and politician of the cosmic government of the Earth who is a representative of Earth as a senator in the intergalactic government.

Qué estuve escuchando #53

Estaba a punto de derrotar al mal, y en un instante, el futuro se transformó en su presente.

Un samurai es el protagonista del podcast de este Qué estuve escuchando.

Saturday Morning Cartoon Boom #233 - Samurai Jack (2001)

Genndy Tartakovsky, conocido por ser el creador de El Laboratorio de Dexter en ese momento, se lanzó en el año 2001 con su primera serie animada de acción en su casa original, Cartoon Network. El protagonista, un samurai que por años se crio y se entrenó para derrotar a un maligno demonio que ha despertado de su largo letargo, llamado Aku. Cuando llega a su guarida, pelea con él, y estaba a punto de darle el golpe final, Aku crea un portal en el tiempo que absorbe a este samurai. Al otro lado del portal, el samurai llega a un futuro en el que Aku es gobernante absoluto del mundo. Toma el nombre de Jack que le pusieron unos transeúntes de una ciudad futurista, y a partir de ese entonces es donde comienza su viaje por encontrar un portal en el tiempo, y acabar con Aku de una vez por todas. Comienza la aventura de Samurai Jack.

Esta serie, y lo saben los que la vieron, no es una serie convencional de acción. Cada episodio (salvo la quinta temporada, pero ya voy a hablar de ella) es una historia distinta. En un episodio Jack va a un pozo custodiado por tres arqueros ciegos, en otro se asocia con un grupo de gangsters para llegar a Aku, en otro aprende a “saltar bien”, en otro se transforma en un gallo, y así podría seguir. En algunas oportunidades la acción resulta ser muy seria, en otras es la aventura el componente central del episodio, en otras también nos vamos a revolcar de la risa con las situaciones que se ven en pantalla. No es una serie que depende mucho de la continuidad, sino que de quienes se va a encontrando Jack en su camino, lo que la hace una experiencia bien distinta dentro de su género.

Samurai Jack también se caracterizó por su cantidad de escenas sin diálogos, y por ser lo suficientemente astuta para evitar ser censurada por violencia, al menos en sus primeras cuatro temporadas, al hacer que Jack tenga que pelear principalmente con robots, y la sangre sea reemplazada por aceite. Esta última caracteristica la hizo muy accesible a un público más amplio, sin tener encima a grupos conservadores que se pudieran quejar por ello.

La serie originalmente se terminó en 2004, después de cuatro temporadas y 52 episodios, con Jack sin poder volver al pasado. Genndy siempre tuvo la intención de terminar su historia, pero por distintas razones no se había podido. Había salido la posibilidad de hacer una película producida por Frederator Studios (Adventure Time), pero se descartó. Mientras tanto, Genndy seguía ganando reputación como animador con Star Wars: Guerras Clónicas, Sym-Bionic Titan y las Hotel Transylvania. Y en el medio de todo esto, IDW obtuvo licencia de Cartoon Network para hacer comics de Samurai Jack, pero que no resolvían el objetivo principal del samurai.

Después de más de 10 años desde que se emitió el último episodio de la serie, finalmente hubo respuesta: Williams Street tomó las riendas del asunto, y se hizo cargo junto con Cartoon Network Studios, de los 10 episodios para terminar la historia de Jack, ahora en Adult Swim. La quinta temporada y final, sitúa a Jack habiendo pasado 50 años sin poder volver al pasado, pero sin envejecer nada. Perdió su katana, y ahora su yo del pasado es el que lo está atormentando para que vuelva a cumplir su objetivo. Esta temporada además tiene un efecto de tiempo que se decidió abordar: La serie creció a la par con su audiencia, y con ello, la historia que está contando es más adulta. Por primera vez, Jack se enfrenta a la encrucijada de herir o matar a un ser humano.  

Más allá de lo que piensen del final (yo quedé algo desencantado), no se puede negar que con Samurai Jack, Genndy Tartakovsky creó una de las series más inolvidables de Cartoon Network, y una de esas serie animadas de acción que quedan en la memoria popular. La pueden ver hoy, y no va a perder ni una milésima de las emociones que experimenté cuando la vi.

Joseph y Chris la revisaron en el más reciente programa de Saturday Morning Cartoon Boom al momento de escribir esto. Los dos primeros episodios revisados son de la emisión original en Cartoon Network, mientras que el último episodio corresponde a la temporada emitida en Adult Swim.

Cierro esto con algunos de mis episodios favoritos: El de Jack con los gangsters (XII), el de Jack aprendiendo a saltar bien (XIV), el segundo encuentro de Jack con el Hombre Escocés (XVII), el de Jack con los Espartanos (XXV), el de los cazarrecompensas (XXIX), el de Jack contra el Ninja (XL), el de Jack contra el samurai funky (XLII), y el del robot que debe matar a Jack para recuperar a su perrita (L). Cualquiera de ellos que escojan, no se van a arrepentir.
