Momentary relief: Hello angst my old friend

Sorry for not writing for a while. I had drafted this so long ago but can only publish now. So this is it.
Have you seen the  new show from DC, 'TITANS'.Well, today I just got off of a set of pre- pre-pre-board exams, and another one due in like two weeks, less than. Well anyway, my sister thought it would be a great idea to watch a movie today, y'know family bonding. So, my mom  had us prepping the bed for the whole family to use as a theater. While pawning most of the work off to me, my sister got herself a turn on the computer till the movie could start, and pulled up an episode of TITANS. See shes already watched EVERYTHING till like JASON TODD and she told me that they were good. They were great for like the first 20 minutues give or take. The rest flat out annoyed me. See, in my opinion the only thing that DC has ever had going for it that Marvel could never match was... ethnic diversity, to be extra specific EUROPEAN ETHNIC DIVERSITY , which is something that so many treat as non existent. In fact people treat European diversity the same way that hey treat Asian diversity that is to say "they're all the same anyway!". And that leaves me feeling rather like I've been cheated because just the way the Japanese are different from the Chinese or the Thai so are the French, the English, the German ..... and the Romanianss t be specific the romani.
These guys have a history of talent. So much so that the only other reference we have of them on culture today is the refernce to those people that traveled and used their immence talent to provide an income.
But do you know what DC did! They made Dick Grayson a regular white kid. Nothing about his circus roots, or his stint in juvie! Nothing, nope, nada.😡
On another note, the principle intends to not give my class our admit cards until we pass all of the schools pre boards. So the mounting stress will probably do me in, provided the crushing depressive thoughts of failure don't finish the job first!

Disney Live Action Remakes: specifically Maleficent

This specific post actually came into existence wayyy back in those nebulous times before 'Cruella' had come out, and I wanted to make an early piece of predictive commentary, on whether I thought it would be any good, specifically because most of the rest of the Disney live-action lineup was terrifyingly inadequate in my estimation. This is because, I happen to like the concept behind remaking beloved childhood memories and once, back when I was naive enough to believe that capitalism would at least take the simplistic approach of, 'Let's go with the safe option and just make it the same but with real people on screen', I was woefully inaccurate in that hope. In its original form, this post was essentially my summing up of my opinions as presented in the project I had to do for my Film adaptations course, wherein I had to dissect a movie remake, and its literary source, and see where the differences lie, and why they happened at all. One of the options we had by de

Hello Freedom My Old Friend

Ever since my 12 th exams were over and done with (which, mind you, was only about a month ago, give or take).   Well I’ve had this nigh overwhelming feeling of emptiness. As all my fellow survivors of 12 th grade in India can attest, the sudden feeling of FREE time is difficult to come to terms with, especially when you are used to having all of your time mapped out into study this, then study that, rinse, alter, repeat. End excerpt from my unpublished post.... New one ahoy. My point still stands though.  The Indian educational system is built on an extremely unsteady foundation of non stop cramming. Not a single blink-of-an-eye is spared for such trivial things as hobbies and mental health, to the point where the kids who get spat out of the system don't even remember what kind of things they used to do for "fun". That's not ok, no matter how many Indian parents believe that a slightly larger chance of their children becoming big shot doctors or engineers and ra

End my Haitus and What to do Now

Can you, whomever you are, please do me a favor. Can you and I just agree to pretend that I didn't disappear for as long as I did without any apparent reason. Thank you for your help. So.... It's not like I didn't know that the net I cast was way too large, to find a decent topic for each post. It may come as no surprise that I'm an idiot in terms of knowing if and how I can write. So i have decided to write in the manner of reviews and only reviews. They'll probably be more like academic analysations, mostly because I have the most familiarity with that style of thinking. Thank you for your time. My ranting about things is a given though so those aren't going away either.
