Happy Thanksgiving! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day of giving thanks and reflecting on our lives. It's a day to look at the world and see how you can help make it a better place. It's also a day of family, food and relaxation. However you plan to celebrate the day, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! And for anyone who doesn't celebrate the holiday, I also wish you a very Happy Thursday!

If you're looking for something holiday inspired to watch, I included a fun Geeky Thanksgiving List below. For more Geeky Lists, here are my previous three Thanksgiving lists: (1, 2 and 3).

Happy Easter and a Belated Passover and Ramadan (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Easter and a Belated Passover and Ramadan!

What are you doing to enjoy the holidays? Are you spending time with family and friends or enjoying some quality time alone? Are you going to enjoy some of the holiday sales? I've already seen good things on sale.

However you're celebrating, I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and a fantastic day. I hope your day is filled with fun, laughter and good food. And if you're looking for something to watch, below is my Geeky Holiday List with a few shows and movies.

Characters Reading: Raven (Teen Titans Go!)

Apparently, on Teen Titans Go! the bathroom is just another place to hang out and relax in. Which hasn't gone unnoticed by Robin in the episode Serious Business who thinks the team is wasting too much time in the bathroom. To fix this, Robin said the Titans had five minutes to do whatever they needed to do every time they went to the bathroom. It also didn't help that when the timer went off the bathroom exploded.

Some of the ways Raven wasted time in the bathroom is by dancing and reading books. While in one of her relaxing bathroom moments, Raven was reading Tale of Flame and Snow, I wonder if it's a play on the title The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, Elio M. García Jr, Linda Antonsson. Anyway, she just seemed so happy to be reading that is until her allotted five minute were up and the bathroom exploded.

Characters Reading: Raven (Teen Titans Go!)

I love Raven, she's the resident bookworm of the Teen Titans and in the Teen Titans Go! episode "I Used to be a Peoples", she was trying to read "Joy of Being Alone" in the park. However, her quiet time in the park didn't last long because she was constantly being interrupted by people, animals and things passing gas. Even though she used her powers to get rid of her distractions, soon even she became the distraction ruining her own reading time.

Characters Reading: Teen Titans (Teen Titans Go!)

I love watching Teen Titans Go!, the show has so many amazingly random and wacky episodes such as when Robin was trying to teach the Titans about real estate. But one of my favorite episodes is "Books" and in that episode Raven gave each of the Titans a book to read as a way to alleviate their boredom.

Starfire read a book about pelicans, Robin read The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin, Cyborg read The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and Beast Boy read The Return of the Invisible Man. I was surprised that the writer included real book titles in this episode well all except for the book Beast Boy was reading. It's actually not a published book but the reworked title from the 1940s movie The Invisible Man Returns.

Superhero Movie Fatigue, I think I have It

I can't believe that I'm saying this but I'm starting to get bored with Superhero movies (and to some extent TV shows). I love watching the movies and shows and I've always had but lately I'm starting to feel burned out with them. And with even more expected to be out in theaters (and more TV shows) in the approaching years it's hard to think that I may have lost my interest in seeing them. As a huge comic book/superhero fan it seems a little disheartening.

I'm not sure when this started to happen but I believe I have developed some form of Superhero Fatigue. Perhaps my fatigue is from there being too many movies and TV shows. In the past, there were just a few to get excited about but now they seem to be almost massed produced. This is leaving me feeling a little disappointed with the industry.

I didn't even go see Ant-Man or Fantastic Four which is surprising since I actually like those characters. But for some reason I could not muster up any enthusiasm to go see them. My desire to see Deadpool, Batman vs. Superman, and Suicide Squad is close to zero. However, I do have interest in seeing Captain America: Civil War (out next year) and Thor: Ragnarok (out in 2017).

But for TV series, I have no interest in seeing the Jessica Jones series that will be on Netflix. I was bored trying to watch the Daredevil Netflix TV series (and I really like Daredevil, maybe I'll give it a second chance with a rewatch). Gotham was a completely boring mess and I stopped watching that early on and Constantine wasn't any better. Agents of S.H.E.L.D. was another show I stopped watching.

Although, I'm going to be watching Supergirl in the Fall, I'm not super excited about the show especially after seeing that less than stellar trailer that was released earlier this summer. But as I wrote in another post, I am going to give it a chance and watch it with an open mind. However, I'm a little indifferent about Legends of Tomorrow. I don't know if I'll tune in or not but a show I am interested in seeing is the Vixen animated series.

Now my Superhero Fatigue has not extended to my comics, I still enjoy reading them. Maybe I have selective fatigue because I enjoy watching Teen Titans Go!, Agent Carter, Agents of S.M.A.S.H. animated series, Avengers Assemble animated series, and against my early hesitance to watch both iZombie and The Flash they both turned out to be rather enjoyable and even more so after having to endure Arrow's absolutely awful third season. At least the best parts to me of Arrow's third season have been Laurel Lance finally becoming the Black Canary.

Are there too many Superhero Movies and TV shows or am I just burned out? Who knows, maybe by the time some of these movies and TV shows are out my interest and excitement for them will have returned.

This episode was so hilarious, I just love this show.

Teen Titans Go! - Thoughts on the Second Episode

Did anyone watch the second episode of Teen Titans Go!?

I thought it was even funnier than the first one. I'm still not seeing where all the complaints are coming from. I think the show is funny. I understand fans are still upset with Young Justice being canceled but this show has nothing to do with that. I just wish they would give it a chance. It's so funny.

I couldn't stop laughing at muscle bound Robin or Cyborg's growling dog. I'm really enjoying this show and it's only two episodes in.

Teen Titans Go! Review

So, what did everyone think of Teen Titans Go!? I thought it was really funny. I love how adorable the art style is and the fun approach the creators took with the show. It's something different and I like how the show turned out. I can't wait for the new episode next Tuesday.

If you watched the show? What did you think of it? Let me know.

What I'm Watching Tonight: Teen Titans Go!

Artwork: Teen Titans are Back! by Gretel Lusky

This show looks like it will be just as good as the original series. The Teen Titans are back tonight on Cartoon Network (please check your local listings for the time).

As much as I like the Young Justice animated series, it was missing some humor and it was way too focused on the all the relationships, which was taking away from the show. That's why I can't wait to watch Teen Titans tonight.

Sneak Preview of Teen Titans Go! - Video

Although it wasn't my favorite, I am going to miss Young Justice. I'm looking forward to watching Teen Titans Go! it looks rather funny (which was missing from YJ). It will air on April 23rd on the Cartoon Network.

But I will make sure I buy the remainder of Young Justice and Green Lantern on DVD so I will have all the episodes to re-watch.
