Why Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is virtually superior to Mad Max Fury Road

 

Greetings and Welcome to a Special Edition Blog and this is gonna be a Film Comparison Take on two Movies that are actually part of the same series.

Mad Max is actually a Series I never really got into. Now, this sounds ironic because I am actually a huge sucker for Post Apocalyptic Stuff like Fist of the North Star and Fallout. However, I do have upmost respect for Mad Max for paving the way for the Genre and it's influence on Pop Culture. And the fact it is set in Australia, Massive Points :D!!!

Now, this blog is very much a one sided affair against two films that ironically look similar at a glance, but once you watch both movies, you realize, that one of them is much more coherent, has more memorable characters, a badass protagonist, a charismatic villain and amazing action scenes that have variety!!!

Yes.... I am talking about Furiosa. The Prequel to Mad Max Fury Road but astonishingly, Furiosa ended up being the better movie in all aspects that I will get into.

1. Furiosa had a more Movie Like Experience.  

I am gonna say it outright, Furiosa felt more like a proper Movie than Fury Road. There was a Story that was more than going "A-B" and the fact that there was a more well rounded Narrative made it much more easier to get immersed into. 

Fury Road was literally just a chase movie. That was it. Nothing was memorable in the movie aside from bombastic Action Scenes and yet Furiosa had Bombastic Scenes but with variety and proper purpose this time. And, there is a Payoff to each scene that made the Story move forward.

2. Furiosa as a Character is much more relatable and believeable than Fury Road's Furiosa   

When you literally made Furiosa more than just staring at the Camera 80% of the time, you know you did wonders. In Furiosa, she is now much more likable and more badass than she was in Fury Road. 

Added that Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne's Performances were just stellar, they both made Furiosa very much a Female Equivalent of Kenshiro, and that is a huge compliment :D!!!!

3.  The Supporting Cast were far more memorable

Let's be real here, Furiosa did the characters justice. Heck, I can name the characters from Furiosa in a heartbeat thanks to their defined personalities and motivations. Dementus, played by Chris Hemsworth, is charismatic and often times hilarious. Immortan Joe is literally Darth Vader, Praetorian Jack was so cool, and Furiosa's Mother is a contender for Best Mom in Fiction. There are other characters to mention but the point is, compared to Fury Road, Furiosa literally gave the characters more style and depth.

Fury Road on the other hand had very thin characters. Even Max, your Main Character, looked like a hobo bum compared to everyone else, which is a huge problem when you have your main character look like a loser. Not a very good way to convey a character's fate.

4. The Action Scenes in Furiosa had Variety  

Fury Road was one Chase Movie. Ok. Well Furiosa had Chase Scenes, a War Rig Assault, Gastown's Moment, The Battle at the Citadel, Bullet Farm's Battle, Furiosa's Revenge. Yes. As you can see, Furiosa simply had more variety with it's Action Scenes. 

So, if you asked which movie had better action and more variety, Furiosa clearly had that aspect in spades. And that alone made it more memorable and more exciting.

5. Furiosa Simply Respected the Mythology of Mad Max  

By far the biggest praise I can give to Furiosa is that, as mentioned in Point 1, Furiosa had a more well rounded experience. But, it also added more World building and more layers to the Mad Max Mythology. This alone is single handedly the main reason why Furiosa will always be better than Mad Max Fury Road.

Your telling me, a single chase scene film is better than a movie that takes time with it's world building, characters and Story? Hell no. I am not gonna jump on the Fury Road Train just with that sentiment.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga simply did things in a monumental way compared to some junk heap chase scene film with zero substance.

You think that Fury Road is a Masterpiece? You never seen films before.

Why did the Voice Referendum Failed??

 

Greetings and Welcome to a Special Edition Blog and this is actually a Personal Opinion on the Recent Failure of the Voice. A Movement that tried to advertise itself as "Uniting Australia Under One Banner" And, "Everyone is equal. Vote Yes!!!!"



Now, this is more of a opinion based blog and I will go over a few major reasons as to why the Voice Ultimately became a Colossal Failure. So, here are my Points.

1. The Voice Lacked Information that was clear.

One of the biggest problems going into the Campaign for the Voice was that it was built under the foundations of "We Want Change" to the Constitutional Government of Australian Politics. Now, this movement immediately lost it's credibility the moment you realize, that the promises and Laws that were going to be introduced by the Voice, if it succeeded, were lacking in clarity and reason. 

For instance, multiple interviews with the Yes Campaigners have stated that this would bring Unity to Australia (This is coming up later) and while it's intentions sound reasonable, the moment you keep asking the long list of questions regarding the Voice, they simply say "Just Vote Yes and Find out".

I have one major gripe with this. If you are to make a proposal, you must tell us what are the assurances and implications once it goes down the line. Saying "Just Vote to Find Out" is outright ignoring questions and literally loses trust in yourself and ultimately, the agenda.

2. The "Equality" of Australian Citizens would have been thrown out in favor of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders 

By far the biggest problem with the Voice is that, when succeeded, Indigenous People would have Special Access to Government and Law Changes. That means, Non Indigenous People like myself (I am a Filipino Australian Citizen), would become Second Class Citizens, we would have lost most of our rights to Vote, Pay more Taxes, Receive Less Income from Jobs and then lose Property Claims in favor of the Indigenous People. 

This sounded terrible. Why would you vote for an agenda that takes "Equality" away and turn it into "Specialty"? Your telling me that the workforce of your Nation is suddenly a joke compared to the people that lived in the bushes? This is just cruelty.

3. Aggressive Campaigning that Ultimately was seen as Over the Top   

One of the major problems with the Voice is the Campaign Style. Sure, Campaigning for an Agenda is acceptable, but going far as to invade People's Homes and forcing them to Vote Yes isn't gonna be the most effective way to win votes. Heck, calling No Voters "Racist" is just hypocritical considering, as mentioned before with equality, the current Constitution DOES have Indigenous Groups in the Government already. 

The Fact that certain People named called No Voters as being "Dumb and Stupid" simply loses it's respect and integrity, the Voice simply didn't "Shut Up" with the insults and aggressive style.

4. The Voice completely undermines the Spirit of Australian Culture      

This is pretty much the King of Reasons as to why the Voice is a Failure. Everything about it is against the Traditions of Australian Culture.

The Line "I am, you are, We are Australian" sums up the Australian Spirit. Australia is a country full of equal rights for EVERYONE!!!!!! 

The Voice simply would have taken everything that made Australia Great and turn it into a warzone. Crime Rates would have risen, Anarchy would be frequent, the Government suddenly cannot prevent Laws that harms the wellbeing of the people that gave them income. These factors alone simply turned the Voice into a pointless idea that ironically, was rejected by all the States of Australia anyway.

In Conclusion

Since the Voice Failed, Australia finally restored Common Sense and Equality to all people. It is ironic that the Voice also Failed in terms of trying to promote exposure to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders into Parliament, despite the fact that the majority of those Groups Voted No..................

You know, if there is a constellation, the Federal Government finally lost it's credibility and trust of it's people. 

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, you are a disgrace to Australian Politics and Culture. You literally ruined not just Australian Trust, you divided Australia with this stupid, nonsensical disaster that will haunt you for eternity. In the Words of Kenshiro, the Voice is "Already Dead" XD!!!!

Creating your Versus Debate Blog Tips

 

Greetings and Welcome to A Special Edition Blog about "Blog Making" (Haha) and this topic is more of a Guide and Advice than straight up Informative Content.

I have been making blogs since 2018 and during my experience with making blogs, I have achieved so much despite the challenges they bring to the table. 

Personally, Making blogs is a lifelong passion of mine. I always wanted to create my own Series of Blogs not just for Profit or to be famous but rather just a leisure time instead. The reason being is because, I am not exactly a Video Editor and my skills in editing videos is nonexistent since 1. My Style is more about Text over Visuals and 2. Video Editing is time consuming, at least from my point of view since I have stuff like Housework, Family Time, other Hobbies and Work. 

Factoring other issues in life and you will realize that blogs are actually much easier to preserve information than doing a 20 minute video infront of a camera and using the info only in your head to explain stuff.

While other people are actually better than me at making Versus Content (Seriously, at the end of the day, I am just a regular guy), nobody is perfect. Infact, I still make mistakes in the past that I will mention in this particular blog.

So, I am gonna list a couple of key advice with Versus Debate Blogs and Why I think it a wonderful hobby for anyone involved in the Versus Community.

1. Start with a Plan in Mind.      

 

This tip is actually not very hard to understand. If you plan to make a blog, then you gotta layout all your key structures of your blog beforehand. Stuff like Background, Stats, Weapons, Abilities, anything in particular that is relevant to a Match up should be listed on a notepad or even your own imagination. 

 

If things are too much for you, do not panic. Blog Making doesn't require a deadline. Take your time, Plan things, and if a plan doesn't meet your expectations such as being interrupted by real life situations, do not panic, the blog is still saved on your files anyway. Use a USB or even the Blogger Site to simply save your progress and wala. Everything is fine from the get go.

 

 

 

 

2. When making a Full Season, consider your schedule.     

This tip is similar to Tip No.1. The fact is, doing a Season's Worth of Match ups is all about Schedule and Timing. While you can take time on making your blogs, a Season's Worth of Blogs does sound intimidating at first. Do not panic. As Mentioned Previously, Blogs are never meant to deliver stress levels that drive you insane. All the information is already saved when you put the data in files and such so your still making progress. 

Generally, I usually have 8-10 Blogs per Season. This also means I have more time in the year for other endeavors and personal life issues that I can deal with. If you somehow only made 1-2 blogs in a year, do not panic. It is all about a relaxing and comfortable time. 

3. When editing your Blog, layout your key Structures in a Format that makes sense for both the Characters and the Match Up. But also Add stuff that Does Interest you.

This is one of the most important tips. Editing your blog is fun and dandy, but if your planning to do a Match up, use information that is relevant to a match up such as Skills, Weapons, Stats, Abilities Etc. 

You can however add stuff that you feel that is fun and that interests you. For instance, I keep saying stuff like "Voiced by ?????, Is one of my favorite characters of all time" only because It added my interest in the character and what they achieved and possessed. 

4. When researching Characters, present them in a generalized look.

Another huge Tip is that Presenting a Character is key to their Presentation and Authenticity. You do not have to list every single detail about them in a blog, that would be too much of a time consuming process. What you can do is present them in a clean, generalized format that can be identifiable for everyone. For instance. Presenting characters like Godzilla, a Kaiju Monster that destroys buildings, sounds like a simple job. Sure, you can present Godzilla as an Unstoppable Force and list his iconic feats and abilities like his Atomic Breath and Near Impervious Durability. 

If you are presenting a character that you feel like has too much info to go over, then try and cut out the stuff that you consider to be "Boring" But, do not attempt to remove feats that otherwise would handicap their chances, which brings us to.......

5. Do not be Biased in favor of a character and rig their chances of winning.

Without a doubt, one of the more serious problems you can come across in a Versus Debate is that lovely, infamous Word that people love to throw around known as "Biased". 

The Term Biased essentially means that you are favoring a specific side or character that ultimately handicaps their opponent such as removing the opponents best stuff while you rigged a character you love more win by accepting their very best feats that would overshadow their opposition's "Set" Level of Power. Here is a Demonstration.

Yoshika Miyafuji: I love Yoshika So much!!!!! I am gonna make her Multiversal in terms of Power!!!!

Superman: Superman Sucks, he has a weakness to Kryptonite!!!!! Yoshika can just fly to another Planet and literally feed Superman Kryptonite and then gun him down!!! Hell Yeah!!!!!

 

 

When in actual fact........

 

 

Yoshika Miyafuji: Is only Continent Level when at her Full Power

 

Superman: Beyond Multiversal and literally one shots Yoshika in an instant with his overall power set.

 

 

So, even if you do a blog when one of your absolute favorite characters is about to lose, do not suddenly make them go invincible that is beyond their true potential. If your making a Joke Blog like my "Shirley vs Shirley" blog, then by all means, go crazy but remember, a Versus Debate is about Who is likely to win. You can't just make your favorite characters win all the time by limiting their opponents that you otherwise either dislike or outright scorn for life but really, that's just how the logic works here.

 

So yes, you can have your favorite characters in your Versus Debate Blogs, but do not overhype them to ridiculous levels that would be outlandish and in Debate terms "Outliers".

 

 

 

 

 

 

  6. At the end of the Day, it is your Blog and you are free to do whatever you wish.    

 

 

This Tip pretty much sums up everything I mentioned into one clean package. While Point 5 is more about not being biased and overhyping characters is a sign of rigging match ups, you can still make Comedy Blogs such as, again, "Shirley vs Shirley" that are never meant to be taken seriously.

 

 

Infact, Blog Making should never be taken seriously. If you have people who criticize your hard work by saying "This is a Rough Read, you didn't research properly, None of this makes sense", then you can just remove their comments and block them and move on. They do not control your blogs. YOU!!!! Control your Blogs.

 

 

At the end of the day, Who made the blogs you created? You Did. Who is the one who spent time to make them in the first place? You Did. So, Do not let anyone stop you from achieving your goals. 

 

 

Just make as many blogs as you can, and remember, if it makes you happy and relaxed, by all means, Go for it.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for reading my Guide to Making Blogs.

 

Why Grim Dawn is a Far Superior Game Compared to Diablo 2

 

Greetings and Welcome to a Special Edition Blog. This is actually a comparison between two popular  ARPG's  (Action Role Playing Games) that are Grim Dawn and Diablo 2.

Now, this is all opinion based, so, the point of this blog is mainly a thoughtful and personal reason as to why I believe that Grim Dawn, a game that actually bears many similarities to Diablo and the series in general, just has far more value and more to offer compared to the "Father of ARPG's". So, here are the main reasons why I say Grim Dawn is vastly superior.

1. The Cross Class System in Grim Dawn offers far more versatility and flexibility

 

 In Hack in Slash Role Playing Games, playing a Class of your choice ultimately determines the playstyle you want to experience the game's action. Sure, a simple class such as a Warrior, in Diablo's Case, the Barbarian, are wildly satisfying for their Melee Combat potential, but what if I was to tell you that sometimes, the whole experience starts to get, dare I say "Boring"? Well, Grim Dawn not only takes this category with flying colors, it offers alot of replay value to the gameplay. You could be a Melee Fighter with a Secondary Class that can cast Spells, Summon Skeletons, Use Powerful Firearms/Crossbows, and even do Two Melee Styled Classes but with very different Abilities all at once. Really, Grim Dawn's Approach to it's Class System gives it greater Variety and Replay Value. 

2. The Combat System in Grim Dawn feels alot more accessible.

Similar to Cross Classes, The Combat System is also alot more versatile. The UI system in Grim Dawn simply has far more hotkeys and doesn't cover a quarter of the Screen like what Diablo 2 does. It also helps that, oddly enough, All class types in Grim Dawn can wield any type of Weapon, An Occulist/Arcanist Class is capable of using Swords, Axes and Maces despite more emphasis on Tomes and Wands. Diablo 2's Combat System only shines with certain Classes. A Barbarian's Strength increases the Damage output of Melee Weapons. Cool? Do that to a Necromancer, and, well, he doesn't have the same Specialized bonuses the Barbarian has. That's why Diablo 2 suffers in this category, it lacks the versatile Combat System with Weapon Usage and frankly, stuff like +2 to Raise Skeletons with a Wand on a Barbarian is just hilarious misplaced. Sure, Grim Dawn does have that same drawback, but, as mentioned above, you can Cross Class your character to actually reap the benefits of that item. But, you may think that even with Cross Classing, that Item still won't work with those two classes right? Which brings up....

 

 

3. Grim Dawn uses a Shared Stash System far earlier than Diablo 2 Resurrected did, and it's Stash is much larger.

 

Here is why Grim Dawn absolutely Crushes Diablo 2's overall value. The Shared Stash is when you put items that you received and save it for other character's to use later. It even gets more stompy when you realize, Grim Dawn can allow you to buy more room for your Shared Stash, provided you have the "Iron Bits" to afford it. But still, Diablo 2 originally did not have this system and it gives it far more limited options to share your items unless it was multiplayer. Now, the remaster "Diablo 2 Resurrected" certainly brought this system back, but it was too little too late. Even if you try to give Diablo 2 Resurrected the benefit of trying to match the category, Grim Dawn's Stash is far larger by leaps and bounds.   

Let's look at the Differences

Now, here is Diablo 2 Resurrected's Shared Stash

As you can see, Grim Dawn's Stash is simply far bigger. And, this is one of the only major categories that Grim Dawn Completely crushes Diablo 2 with regards to the value. You can hold so much items in Grim Dawn's Shared Stash, it can cover pretty much multiple playthroughs with different characters with endless hours of gameplay. 

4. Everything Diablo 2 Resurrected actually presented, Grim Dawn basically did it and more.

 

Despite all of my previous points, this one pretty much is the "Summary" of why Grim Dawn is just leagues above Diablo 2......... It did all the improvements that Diablo 2 Resurrected presented and more. The story mode for Grim Dawn is much larger in scope (Two Story Expansions vs Lord of Destruction? No contest) and the gameplay is more refined and more modernized. 

Think about it, if Diablo 2 is the better game, can you really pick anything it actually did that Grim Dawn doesn't have? 

5. Diablo 2 Resurrected is unplayable in most PC's while Grim Dawn is playable......

 

So we reached the final nail in the coffin, Grim Dawn is just far more playable and can be launched smoothly compared to Diablo 2 Resurrected...... WHICH DIDN'T EVEN WORK ON MY PC AT ALL!!!!!!!!! Turns out, the game had far more strict requirements in order to play, the online servers where uncontrollable, and worst of all, alot of Lag. So really, Grim Dawn is playable for Modern and even slightly dated Computers, Diablo 2 Resurrected doesn't have that same care factor to the previous generation of gamers.

Of course, you can bring up Console Versions of Diablo 2 Resurrected, but really? Again, those version's of the Game still do not beat Grim Dawn's value, like Point Number 4, Grim Dawn just improved all of Diablo 2's gameplay with more tweaks and a longer story arc. It simply doesn't matter if Diablo 2 Resurrected is more playable in other PC's and such, Grim Dawn still offers far more Value and is cheaper to play. 

Anyway, that's a wrap. I know this is a more generalized blog but those points are my reasons as to why Grim Dawn is the Superior Game. Thank you for Reading.
