Dragon Ball Super Update: Synopsis, Prequel, and confirmed characters


I've held off of another DBS discussion long enough and with the new info we've gotten, the wait has paid off!!


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with another discussion on Dragon Ball Super. As you can see up above a new trailer was released for it along with some new info, so let's sit down and talk about what we know and speculate on what to expect for the show.

Ways The MCU can reinvigorate Spider-Man movies

What can the MCU do to bring this Franchise back to its glory days?

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with some more Superhero talk. After months of speculations and casting rumors, yesterday finally saw the confirmation of not only The new Spider-Man (Tom Holland) but who would direct the web-slinger's newest movie outing in 2017 (Jon Watts). Tom Holland as Spider-Man is confirmed to be making a cameo in Captain America: Civil War before he swings onto his own movie the next year. With this announcement came a bit of backlash: Some of it stupid (Peter Parker is white WAAAH), while the more logical backlash justified.

This will be Spidey's Second movie reboot within five years and frankly, some people are a little fatigued of Spider-Man. Which they honestly have a right to be. As much as I enjoy Spider-Man's movies (Yes even TASM 2), I will admit that they are a little...formulaic (Peter is Spider-Man and is having fun, villain with some type of personal connection to Peter wants to kill him and take over the city, Peter has relationship problems with his girlfriend). People are tired of seeing the same old same old, and with Spidey now in the MCU, things need to be shaken up and I think I have a few ideas to get people interested back in Spider-Man movies.

Shaman Rambles: Does Shipping ruin a series and its Fandom?



Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, the Shaman of Animation back again with a different kind of discussion topic. Today, I'm going to talk about something that I've wanted to talk about for a good while now: Shipping. To those who aren't down with their Internet Lingo, Shipping is taking two characters from a created series and putting them in a romantic relationship, this is usually done in Fan Fictions (Fan Made stories written using already existing Series) and Fan Arts. But what I'm here to address is when Shipping, which when you break it down is really more of a fan thing, bleeds over into the actual stories that the ships are based off of and how it can hurt not just those series, but fans of said series.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Gameplay Breakdown/Discussion


This. This is going to be my new wallpaper on my laptop...at least until, the official photo of KH3 shows up...

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with a new discussion. In 2013, the folks at Square Enix shocked the world at E3 when they announced that the long awaited Kingdom Hearts 3 was FINALLY in development. since the announcement though, word on the game has been mostly scarce. Sure we've had a few small mentions in interviews and there was the footage of the gameplay back at D23 Expo Japan, plus a very small snippet at the end of the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 trailer.




But other than that, there hasn't been much info or much other footage in the last two years. BUT today at their admittedly boring conference, the people at Square Enix were kind enough to give fans brand new footage of Kingdom Hearts 3 and the gameplay. So we're here to discuss this new bit of news!

John Cena vs Kevin Owens (MITB) discussion

This match is so good it deserves it's own blog post

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation and after some time, I am back with some more wrestling talk. Folks I just finished watching John Cena vs Kevin Owens from Money in the Bank. These two men put on a clinic in their match two weeks ago at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.  And with the rematch happening so quickly, I seriously doubted that they would've topped that match. But this match...THIS MATCH...I don't know where to even begin.

Marvel's Daredevil: Season 1 Thoughts

Yeah, I know I'm late to the party, but better late than never right?

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, the Shaman of Animation back with some more superhero talk. Twelve years ago, a movie premiered that would introduce the mainstream world to a new hero. That movie was called Daredevil, and it was critically panned by both movie audiences and long time comic readers of the character. Now twelve years later (And getting some movie right issues resolved) The man without fear gets a second chance on the small screen with a 13 episode Netflix series. So let's talk about Daredevil.

PowerPuff Girls 2016 series Announcement thoughts

That's right folks, a grown man is on his computer talking about the PowerPuff Girls. How low will this blog stoop is anyone's guess...


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again. I'm sure a lot of the readers here remember the Powerpuff Girls. The series premiered in 1998 during what many consider was Cartoon Network's Golden Era. The series had a simple enough premise: It was about three little girls who had superpowers and together fought crime and the forces of evil to save their city of Townsville and do it all before bed. The series was very well received by critics and ended up being an Emmy-Winning series.
