NaBloPoMo Day 2: Too Many Opinions
Nov. 2nd, 2012 05:53 pmI was reading the posts I wrote for last year's NaBloPoMo and if there's one thing hindsight makes clear, it's that reading posts about daily activities and meme responses are not very interesting. This year I'm going to try posting things more substantial than shopping adventures and family events, which works well with my recent desire to write tl;dr posts about my current favorite shows/games/comics/whatever.
Some topics that have been banging around in head for awhile:
★ Puella Magi Madoka Magi meta
Which mostly means posts on why Madoka is my favorite character, why I like Sayaka's character arc so much, and maybe some thoughts on the design of the witches' inner space and the magical girl costumes. Might not be the most original topics, but honestly outside of the Puella Magi wiki I haven't seen much analysis or meta about PMMM.
★ DC's New 52
I haven't been reading many comics from DC lately but I really like the ones I've stuck with. I also have a whole boatload of opinions about Batwing and the direction I'd like to see the book take; expect at least one rant on how they really should focus on Batwing's civilian identity. :p
★ Blazblue
So yeah, Noel is one of my favorite characters in BB and it's something that initially baffled me, because she's very clearly designed as creepy otaku bait and my first impression of her was not positive in the least. After a lot of thought I've pinned down why I like her so much, but it's complicated. Will probably involve overanalysis of a few specific scenes and some discussion about moe characterization.
★ Soul Calibur V
I haven't yet seen a comprehensive defense of SCV's story and characters--lots of pithy, salient points, but not a tl;dr explanation about various developments, why they don't suck, and why a lot of fans need to take off their nostalgia goggles and realize that SCII was not the greatest game of all time. Also Patroklos and Pyrrah are totally awesome AND I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHY. (Capslock may or may not be involved.)
★ Tumblr
Okay, I just want to bitch about things like hate-tagging and some other tumblr-specific practices. I mean, I like Tumblr well enough, but damn are there a lot of annoying fandom behaviors that Tumblr's exacerbated.
★ Thor/Journey into Mystery
I've been poking at the idea of making an 'Introduction to Thor comics' for a few months now--it would probably just be a list of 'essential' reading with (hopefully) helpful descriptions, clarification of what's in and out of continuity, and maybe a list of stuff readers should avoid. My only concern is that I haven't read enough for such a list to be as comprehensive as it should be. I'd also like to write some stuff on the more meta components of Journey Into Mystery and how the Disir are amazing, but again, I'm not entirely confident in my ability to write intelligently about these sorts of things.
And I will be continuing with the excessive RE6 playthrough thoughts, although I probably won't stick with one chapter per post. Gonna try to spread those posts out so that people get a variety of tl;dr, instead of just RE flavor. :P
I'm also concerned about time constraints, because I take forever to compose my thoughts. But hopefully I can keep the 'posting for the sake of posting' entries to a minimum.
