Random Lokius Thought

I’ve been trying to remember this anime I watched. I only saw the opening and never got the chance to see the whole thing but I want to now. It’s not super famous.

Here’s all I remember from the opening:

1. The song was really upbeat.

2. In the end, a dark-haired(maybe purple) girl sees a pink-haired girl sitting in those tubes you see in the playground. Then they starting running through a field together without shoes. They may be holding their them.

3. The setting kind of goes gloomy and sad near the middle of the opening. I believe there was a boy and girl with instruments- a piano and violin respectively.

4. There was a large group of people with white hoods.

5. Near the end of the opening there was a small person- maybe there were kid- standing back-to-back with a extremely big person.

6. I kind of remember a guy maniacally laughing

Thanks to anyone who knows and comments. 😁💕

Do You Think (Future) Casey Jones is Cassandra’s Kid?

It’s been revealed that the mysterious stranger from the future will be a male Casey Jones, and ever since I’ve been wondering how this will be incorporated into the story when Rise already has Cassandra/FR. There has been talk that the creators were retconning the reveal, but there was a recent that said otherwise. So, I’m wondering if future Casey is Cassandra’s son (hopefully with April; I’ve shipped them for a while) but she passed away and Leo named him after her. I can’t really think of another reason why he is named Casey other than that. If any of you have other theories, lmk. I like discussing with other fans.

I like the Kaldur x Wyynde in season 4 but I’m still not fully on board with their relationship. Tbh, I sometimes wish Kaldur was single instead. I think my problem with their relationship is that Wyynde’s character revolves around Kaldur. For me, I have trouble liking a couple if one of them doesn’t have their own story. I know they couldn’t fit it in but I wish the writers showed us how much being a former purist affects Wyynde instead of telling us that he regrets it. Personally, I need more details. If my wish actually happens in later episodes then I’ll most likely warm up to Kaldur x Wyynde.

Granted, someone could argue my contradiction since I really like La’gann/Coral/Rodunn, but, for me, there is a difference. Compared to Kaldur, La’gann is a minor character we barely know about except that he dated M’gann and is impulsive. With a character like this, I’m not as critical with a love interest who doesn’t have much character since as fans, we mostly fill in the lines on who La’gann is and why he loves his partners.

Kaldur is a main character and knowing what made him love Wyynde would further convince me that Wyynde is a great match for him. I guess I’m used to most major couples having development, and we get to see their reactions like with SuperMartian and Spitfire.

Incorrect Ducktales Quotes #4 w/ ‘17 Dickie(OC), Scrooge, Morgana(OC), & Drake

Scrooge accidentally overhears Dickie come out, and wants to do something special for her. He comes back to the mansion after doing errands and presents his gifts to Dickie.

Scrooge: I just went to Target to buy these-

Dickie: [confused] The heck is that? Why did you buy these?

Scrooge: Because I support the LGBTQ and the other alphabets.

————————————-

This was before Morgana met Launchpad and Gosalyn.

Drake and Morgana are walking to an important S.H.U.S.H meeting, yet the latter notices something is wrong. The mallard vaguely confides about a romantic moment he had with someone (Launchpad) while riding the Ratcatcher. Morgana tries encouraging her friend to go for it.

Drake: I don’t know.

Morgana: Is he cute?

Drake: Yes he is, but I need to focus on my training. I don’t need to be distracted.

Morgana: Yes you should be distracted. Distracted is good. What’s his name?

Drake: Launchpad

Morgana: I like it. And, you know what they say about riding a bike.

Fenton: Who’s getting a bike?

Drake: Nobody.

I saw a post on Instagram about how Captain America dying would’ve been better than Iron Man. I honestly agree. The writers intended for Cap to miss Peggy and feel disconnected from the current world. Add those components to his self-sacrificing attitude and him making the wish would’ve made sense and been good. I know Iron Man’s final development was to throw away his arrogance and sacrifice himself but I would’ve much rather him retire with his family and help the world by making inventions for the better of the world and start a new generation of Iron Man.

What do you guys think?

I’m Iffy on Zatanna’s Morally Gray Idea

I mostly have a problem with the execution of this plot line more than anything. I like heroes to be morally gray sometimes but for me to really gel with the idea, I would have to see the character struggle resorting to that risky decision.

I think seeing Zatanna constantly finding other ways to save her dad but them failing would’ve helped me feel more sympathetic towards Zatanna, and understand how desperate she is to find a solution.

Also, I would’ve done the reveal totally different(honestly I would’ve done her arc differently). Zatanna and her protégés would visit Nabu quicker than in canon, and he somehow lets her plan slip out in front of her students. They get mad but Zatanna tells them that it was not the time and the discussion will happen later.

Then, in the end, Zatanna realizes how effed her plan is and tells her students that they have a choice to say no. Zatanna would tell Mary she’s not ready while Traci and Khalid accept the deal.

What Would Be Your Suicide Squad Dream Team?

I’m curious on what you guys imagined the “perfect” Suicide Squad team. For me, my dream team would be:

Harley Quinn

I love Harley! She is one of my favorite DC characters because of her craziness and whimsy.  

Deadshot

I’ve started liking Deadshot in Injustice 2 and the two Suicide Squad Animated Films(Assault on Arkham/Hell to Pay). I want to know more about him because his story is interesting. 

Enchantress

After seeing her in Injustice 2 and Suicide Squad, I grew really interested her, especially her powers and origin. I didn’t care for her portrayal in the Suicide Squad and want DC to try again. 

Killer Frost

Really liked Frost in Assault on Arkham animated film and really want to see more of her. 

King Shark

Watching King Shark in the HQ animated series made me fall in love with him. I’m so excited for him to appear in The Suicide Squad and hope he is portrayed well. 

Captain Boomerang

This guy is absolutely hilarious in the two SS films. I’m kind of meh with his portrayal in SS (2016), but am excited to see him again. 

Rick Flag

I like characters who are morally good, but is stuck in a situation they are against. I don’t know much about Flag and want to learn more. 

Katana

She is such a badass and her origins are really cool! I want to learn more about her sword and morals. Katana’s design is also pretty amazing. 

Black Manta

Injustice 2 and Young Justice introduced me to this villain and I actually really like him. His abilities are really cool. Like to see more of him. 

Bronze Tiger

First saw him in Hell to Pay and he reminded me of a sort of Batman who kills. He is a great fighter and his chemistry with Deadshot in the movie was cool to see. I want to know more about him. 

Count Vertigo

I mostly added him to the team because of how interesting his powers and origins. I liked him as a villain in Young Justice. 

I know that my list mostly has popular well-known characters, but I’ve always wondered what these characters as a team be like.

The list is long since half or most of them would die in the mission.

What about you guys?

😊❤️

Thank you for adding your thoughts to my post. One of my favorite things to do in fandoms is to discuss with other fans about the story, characters, etc.

I see your point about Liu Kang and his abilities but I think Liu Kang had a hand at Smoke being orphaned. In one of his intros with Liu Kang, Smoke asks him if he intended for his family to die. Here’s a link to the video: https://youtu.be/z-r4UecW7PM?si=sHMb4gmKGddNA9oY&t=485 (The intro is at 8:05). Liu Kang’s reply was a bit cryptic and can be interpreted in different ways but I believe it alludes to Liu having to make a hard decision to make sure the timeline went accordingly, such as Smoke joining the Lin-Kuei and befriending the brothers. Also, Liu made plans for Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi to live meaningless lives. I don’t think he would’ve risked letting them live freely without careful planning to make sure the plan kept its course, so I believe Liu Kang is capable of planning people’s lives but in varying degrees. Unfortunately, the game wasn't very clear on Liu Kang’s capabilities and restrictions so most fans have different interpretations of Liu Kang's involvement in how the new timeline turned out the way it is. I do give Liu Kang some slack since he gave up his powers decades (most likely centuries) before Hanzo was born.

Anyways, I should’ve been clear when I said Hanzo’s life seems bleak. I meant before being taken in by Smoke. I don’t think Hanzo not being the leader of the Shirai-Ryu is a bad life. My critique was about how Liu Kang made sure Shao Kahn didn’t have extensive capabilities to become emperor and have Mileena, who was his enemy in the old timeline, be Kitana’s blood sister- a change he must have done before relinquishing his powers- while Hanzo’s life before the Shirai-Ryu was hard. I had that expectation that Liu Kang would give Hanzo what he truly desired- his family- since he did that for Mileena- her MK11 ending hinted at her wanting to be a part of a family. I’m fine with Kuai having the Scorpion mantle because it gives the Scorpion/Sub-Zero a bit more depth and new intrigue. Right now, I’m neutral with MK1 Hanzo. There isn’t anything to go by about his character so I’ll be waiting until future installments to give my full thoughts. I do have some faith that NRS will write MK1 Hanzo well. All I hope is they don’t kill off Kuai Liang only to make Hanzo Scorpion again. It would make the change kind of pointless.

I wanted to be clearer on why I don't like Harumi and Kuai together so far. It's not because I see Harumi as only Hanzo's life. I've grown to like Kuai being Scorpion since it gives the Sub-Zero/Scorpion rivalry more depth, and he still feels like Kuai Liang but with a different title. Going as far as to have Harumi and Kuai get married feels like a tamper to that balance. With that decision, he feels like Hanzo but with a different name right now. I'm still open to changing my mind once new story content is released.

Sort of a side note, but I don't think is a young adult (I searched online and a young adult is usually a range between 18 and 25 years old). Based on his height and appearance, I think he is 14-15 years old (adolescent/early teens range). It is possible for 18-year-olds and above to be short but, in MK1, most male characters are around the same height. If NRS wanted Hanzo to be in the same age range, they would've made him closer to Kuai and Tomas' heights. However, I could be wrong since I'm basing this on the tower ending's art style instead of the game's 3D modeling.

Thank you for reblogging my post and adding your opinion. My favorite part about fandoms is to see fans’ different perspectives on story elements. I enjoyed reading your post. Btw, your art is really good! Your Scorpion Harumi’s design is my favorite.

My Thoughts on MK1 Hanzo

(Spoiler Warning: Smoke’s Tower Ending is discussed)

I saw Smoke’s tower ending and was surprised to see Hanzo in the new timeline, let alone as a child. Although I’m open to how the writers will handle his character, I’m kind of disappointed that they went this route. When I learned that Kuai Liang would be Scorpion in the new timeline, I expected Hanzo to either not even exist or live a nice life with Harumi and their son. Instead, Kuai Liang is married to Harumi and Hanzo is much younger than them, which is so weird. I really hoped Hanzo would have a happy life and only be involved in the games through mentions at least.  Also, this decision paints Liu Kang in a bad light. It’s no secret Liu Kang made sure his allies had a good life while making some of his enemies’ lives (Shang Tsung and Quan Chi) insignificant to prevent them from turning into their past counterparts. So, it makes me wonder why Liu Kang didn’t think to give Hanzo a good life or at least watch over him. It’s shown that Hanzo is a starving orphan forced to steal for essentials. I have no doubt Liu Kang knows about Hanzo’s past since he met the older and kinder Scorpion in MK11 and Raiden has disclosed Hanzo’s past in MK 9. Plus when Liu Kang fused with the Hourglass, he most likely became aware of what happened in MK9 and MKX. He gave Shao Kahn the chance to be a better man by being the Kingdom’s general- a risk that didn’t pay off, yet didn’t give Hanzo what he always desired- his wife, son, and the Shirai-Ryu. It feels so out of character for Liu Kang to not make sure Hanzo had a good chance at life. 

If I had the opportunity to write Hanzo’s character, it would’ve been very different. I would’ve made him a former Lin Kuei member(he would be 5 or more years older than Bi-Han) who held the Scorpion title until he retired to Japan- where met Harumi and had their son. Hanzo would’ve also been the one to train Kuai Liang in his fire powers in the latter’s childhood. In his honor, Kuai would take the Scorpion mantle after Hanzo retires. Hanzo could also help Kuai and Smoke form the Shirai-Ryu but Harumi helps in recruiting and training while he takes care of their young son. 

Though, I still hold some faith that NRS will write the new Hanzo well. I guess I’m just disappointed because I wanted Hanzo to finally live a happy life where his family stays alive. He was one of my favorites in the MK9-MK11 era so I can’t help but feel a connection towards him.
