No not really a DC fan (though I do love The Dark Knight and did watch a bit of Flash), Marvel is just more of my style. And with Civil War, I do not really need to see Dawn of Justice because they are essentially the same movie.

Since I did a list of most anticipated TV shows, I thought I would also list and ask your guys’ top 5 most anticipated movies for this year, 2016, with an explanation as to why. I will start by giving an honourable mention to my buddy’s movie coming out in a week (in North America anyways): Deadpool Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1431045/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf Probably the craziest movie I will ever see, and as such it has no specific place on my list. I am a fan of the character, the metahumor, and the series, but I am not a fan of the swearing, and most especially not the sexual content. And I am 23 years old. I am still looking forward to the movie for its unique style and the things that I liked mentioned above. 1) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3183660/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf A Harry Potter spin off that expands more on the wizarding world! For the first time, we Harry Potter fans do not really have to compare it to a book, and can just enjoy it as a general movie! It is also from the director of one of the best Harry Potter movies, Deathly Hallows Part 1! Although I have been mixed towards his other 3 Harry Potter movies, his overall style has proven that he will do more good than bad with it. Just as long as he gives us lots of magical creatures and gives the best execution that there can be with it, then the movie should be “fantastic” 2)Finding Dory Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2277860/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf Next to Toy Story 4, it is probably my most anticipated Pixar sequel. Very excited to see what happens next in their world! As long as Pixar does not take things too far, and remembers the essence of who they are and what makes their movies great, then the movie should be fine! 3) The Divergent Series: Allegiant Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3410834/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf This 3rd Divergent movie looks like it could potentially be the best in the series yet! The movie will fundamentally expand on concepts of topian futures adding on some interesting science fiction elements not previously explored in the genre. It will also continue to dive into the depth of poignant character development that the series is so adept with. Plus, leading actress Shailene Woodely has never looked more beautiful! 4) Captain America: Civil War Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3498820/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf AKA The Avengers: Civil War as all but two of the Avengers (Thor and Hulk) will be in the movie, plus Black Panther, Ant-Man, and Spider-Man, the latter two being my two favorite superheroes! On that note, this movie would have been ranked higher on my list had Andrew Garfield remained as Spider-Man. Most people should realize that had he stayed on they would have been able to follow the comic book storyline of Civil War more closely, as it would have tied in greatly with the Amazing Spider-Man series to have him reveal his identity after all the trauma with Gwen, Harry, his parents and the new drama within Civil War itself. While I can understand why they had to reboot Spidey AGAIN, it still feels like a greatly missed opportunity. Still, its from the directors of one of Marvel’s best movies ever, Winter Solider, and as noted, continues however slightly off of their another of their best movies ever, Ant-Man. 5) X-Men Apocalypse Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3385516/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf Should be very interesting to see where they go with this film, with the inclusion of younger versions of the X-Men characters that we know and love from the previous movies (including the much awaited return of Nightcrawler!). The addition of new characters and promised “disaster movie”-like action not seen in the previous movies should also be neat to see.

Yes I did catch the reference to the We head, knew about it long before I saw the movie in actuality. Now my two favourite superheroes (both based off of bugs) will be in the same movie together in 3 months! Unfortunately, no Andrew Garfield in the role :( but there is at least fan editing and Tom Holland kinda looks and acts like Garfield so in my mind it loosely connects to the two ASM movies. By the way, most people should realize that HAD Garfield stayed in the role, they would have been able to follow the comic book version of Civil War much closely as it would have fit very well with Spidey revealing who he is to the public.

Another explanation is that Kion and the Lion Guard could have been out looking for other lions to help Simba & co against Zira, and that these lions would produce the next generation of lion guard.

I have now seen it and I agree it was freaking amazing! Best Marvel movie by far, and not just in their cinematic universe in my opinion! It doesn't even "feel" like it is Marvel, which is kinda ironic because Edgar Wright left the project as director over that, and I still found despite the connections that it felt strong as a stand alone movie, even more so than Guardians of the Galaxy. It really deserved to do so much better at the box office thats actually the reason why I have not seen it until now: my theatre only kept it for 2 weeks! Now I have another movie to really loo forward to in 2018 (even though I was still looking forward to it)! Its gonna be a big sequel year for me with it, Toy Story 4, Lego Movie Sequel, Jurassic World 2, Godzilla 2, Infinity War 1, Fantastic Beasts 2, and unless it happens sooner, Kingdom Hearts III!

Like I said, They have actually released Simba's Pride on DVD and even Blu ray multiple times (with a reanimated reaction shot of Kovu in fact) so I would not say that they are ignoring it. As well ,it also happens to be the top selling direct-to-video movie of all time, grossing just as much as Lion King did domestically at the time of its release in sales

I actually have a couple of theories for where The Lion Guard and its members were during the later part of Simba's Pride 1) Quite simply they were off on another mission, which is not far fetch'd if you think about it. I mean, its like the Avengers, of which this show is partly inspired by: If the Avengers were responsible for helping out EVERY "big problem", then what would be the point of every other superhero existing in Marvel like the X-men, Spider-Man, SHIELD itself etc.? They specifically can't always help out EVERY problem of course. Besides, the Pride Lands and Africa itself is a HUGE place so they could have just been busy with something else. 2) Possibly, because of 3) Very possibly, like with , Kion went off to form his own Pride, or even Lion Guard somewhere else outside the Pride Lands. Like I said, Africa is a huge continent after all, and the series is said to be set in Kenya, so Kion and the Lion Guard could have moved to another part of Africa. There is also a chance that As you can see, its pretty much common sense as to how it can still tie into the series. They were able to make , so they could find a way to make it work here. As , it is likely that they will find a way to tie it all in together, perhaps by the series finale if nothing else.

Ok, I'm officially calling it: if Pride Lands be featured in Kingdom Hearts III or some other Kingdom Hearts game, Sora & co. or whoever the protagonist is will become part of the Lion Guard, possibly replacing all members except for Kion and Bunga, as they are the two main/most popular characters and because the other three characters can easily be replaced. For example Donald ( Ona obviously) Goofy (Beshete) and Sora/protagonist (for Fuli) as they would have similar abilities.

Interesting ,though I already knew about Radiant Garden. I can actually see them being Sleeping Worlds and somehow connecting to the overall plot of DDD even better than the new worlds we got (which I am grateful for and still believe that they fit in well nonetheless) even if they would not make much sense due to them being in Kingdom Hearts II

I for one am not hating on the Shadowhunters TV show. I see a lot of potential in it and would like to see it last a long time. The show offers up a simple but interesting take on the series. At first I was kinda annoyed at the technology in the Institute, but now that I think about it it makes more sense for them to track all of these supernatural monsters. I also liked the use of flashbacks to help explain things. You should often not use flashbacks, but the way that they used them here was a coherent way of explaining the back story and key information. Plus, they timed the flashbacks at the right moment when you would be asking questions pertaining to what they are about to show. I also grew to like that Jocelyn gave Clary a Stele, as she knew that she would need protecting and in her mind figured out that it would maybe protect her more from the Shadowhunter world now that Magnus' effects were starting to wear off. Better actually then just hoping that nothing would happen and sitting there and doing nothing about it. All of the characters are pretty much exactly how I imagined them when reading the books. They were also for the most part well casted too. I do not understand the hate towards Katherine McNamara as Clary. She brought out the kind of traits I imagined Clary to have when reading. I also especially felt emotionally connected to her when she returned home right before she was attacked by the demon for the first time. I have seen much much worse acting in many critically acclaimed movies than in this show. If anything, on this show its not so much the acting but the writing and directing which is still pretty good (much more confident and focused than in the movie for sure), but just seems to be lacking a bit with regards to certain characters' mannerisms like Jace, who is still good casted but is just miswritten/misdirected. Despite some miswrittings/misdirectings though, I like how they expanded on certain character elements from the books like Clary going to an art college, the expansion of Simon's band with Maureen, even the stuff they did with Dot aka Dorothea from the books. Plus, I just loved the "light sabre" seraph blades (and I am not even a Star Wars fan). Having Magnus Bane be involved with the club also made perfect sense as that would be the type of thing that he would be involved with, plus its a good set up or his character. Actually, the more that I think about it as I write this, I almost think I like the Tv show better than the books and the books are one of my to favourite series of all time. Like I said, the show has potential for what it is and I know fro experience that people should give it at least a couple of episodes (maybe until at least up to episode 5 or 7) and then if they do not like it then they can give up on it. Certain Tv shows I did not like have now become my absolute favourites of all time as a result of me giving them a chance after watching at least half a season of them. Many other people I know also agree with me on this and have had similar results, some even more so than me in fact. I know many others who agree with me on the show, and to anyone reading this, if you would give what we have to say about it a chance, then it would mean a lot to us. Myself and many of these people would do the exact same thing for you guys in return. Anything like a person ,or even a TV show for that matter just needs time to bloom. All it takes is patience. While it may be hard to bear sometimes, it can usually end up being more than worth it in the end. 

Latest trailer for the film reminds me of the kind of feelings felt when seeing the Force Awakens trailer for how spectacular in many senses it was: visually, emotionally, and thrillingly

I find that in this clip http://www.etonline.com/tv/180420_arrow_season_4_sneak_peek_thea_doubts_everything/, I am reminded of Aqua not only through her voice of course but her mannerisms and emotional integrity. As much as I loved her as Aqua already, I really think that if she does come back for 2.8/III she will be able to bring an even greater emotional range to her line delivery and performance since she has gotten more experience playing this kind of role of on Arrow.

Turning this discussion around, while you also list most anticipated, name the ones that you are dropping, either ones you've watched or were considering to watch and then decided not to and provide an explanation for both sections. I've already dropped Flash and Gotham, mainly because I just do not like DC's overall style and elements (though Flash is an awesome show and I am proud of the potential and inspiration it has presented for superhero, let alone TV shows in general overall)

No surprised in the slightest

Was wondering what everyone's most anticipated Tv shows for 2016 are. Here are my top 5: Shadow hunters ( Freeform/Netflix for those outside US on Tuesdays/Wednesdays respectively) - Interesting take on The Mortal Instruments Series, I'm curious to see where it goes Once Upon A Time Season 5B (Sunday nights at 9|8C. ABC/CTV, returns March 6)- Hercules & other greek mythology concepts and the return of Cruella among others, HECK YES! Agents of Shield Season 3B (Tuesdays at 9|10c ABC/CTV, returns March 1) - I must say I like many others are very impressed with how SHIELD has turned out this season so far. They finally "Got it right" so to speak. Cannot wait for any Civil War connections..... !!!!!!! Girl Meets World (Fridays at 930|830c Disney Channel) - Again, a very impressive show that has found its true footing. Gives Boy Meets World a run for its money even. This is what live action Disney channel shows should have been all along from the get go. Very inspiring and moving, even for those outside of its age demographic. Just as powerful for those in their 20s and older and it is for teens and tweens. Sofia the First (Saturdays at 7|6c Disney Junior) - This past season has been fabulous and has become one of my all time favourite Tv shows. Very good magical concepts to rival even Harry Potter, dare I say. I'm liking the Library story arc, and am excited to (eventually) see Anna and Elsa hopefully show up. The lessons have also helped me get through a lot of things in my life as of recently and I hope that the show is as inspiring to others as it is for me.

An intriguing update on the homes Magic Railroad project. If you or anyone you know is interested in supporting it, NOW is the time to act https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ie1_qNMK3w

are you able to move the camera around while those times are loading like with the D-links in BBS as I found those load times were slow too

What do you call a "bad" witch that keeps coming back? A Hor-crux!

Well my dear, are there ways around the glitches to avoid running into them by any chance?

Was yours a greatest hits or special bundle version by any chance?

does that happen often though? more so than 1.5?

Warner Bros would have been interesting because then I'd have m two favourite fantasy franchises together (unless you count Pixar as fantasy): Kingdom Hearts and Harry Potter! To this day I still wish for Harry to somehow show up in Kingdom Hearts (Disney does own television rights after all) and I can in all honesty see it working out way better than Star Wars.

Should I worry about the many glitches that I have heard occur in 2.5? These supposed glitches are part of the reason why I have not bought 2.5 yet. I'm just wondering if there is a way around them or if they really impact the overall game as there seems to be a lot more than 1.5

Thanks Ventus I really appreciate it buddy
