Hey readers I was talked into posting "Story time with Ash" stories on this site. This thread in the discussions part of the library is for readers to learn more about the characters and inquire about story material. Some stories are reoccurring with common characters that reoccur as well.
I'll start this with a character in a stories currently posted on this date Eagle Cliff in stories named after that character. He was born an illegitimate child to the Vanderhouse family. The Vanderhouse gained the power of the kashattic field from one of the pixie lords and this power stayed with the family after the death of the man that first gained the power. Eagle was born unable to use this magic field the meaning to the parents was clear he wasn't related to the dad. Eagle changed his name to honor my adopted dad Molic the golden eagle a spirit that literally took him under is wing. He learned strong wind magic and made armor of the great birds. Armor of the great birds gives protection and gave him the ability to fly. His skill attracted the attention of the hate masters and the pixie lord Aircall. Eagle would promise an old girlfriend not to accept Aircall offer to be her contractor which he would later break.
Eagle Cliff it is written forward and backwards in his blood on the wind. This is a sign of his contract with a pixie lord. In exchange for defending her kingdom he gained the ability to use all the power of the wind. The laws of the contract are simple he must ask the spirits under contract to lend him there powers if they are able. How long his increase magic power lasts depends on how many are able. At times in your reading Eagle may seem like more the bad guy part of the fun of writing these stories is seeing how far can he be pushed and still seem like he can be the hero.
Anyway that's the basics drop a question anytime you want I'll get to answering your questions soon. Happy reading to you.

In the Eagle Cliff stories one and two you find Mouse this is a character that will appear more. When Eagle first met her he thought she must be about 24 then a little later he thought she was 18. After more time he thought she was 16. Then he was thinking she's 14 and before the day ended he thought maybe she's 12. She had a happy childhood and as of this point in the stories lacks the tragic life the Eagle lived.
The main driving forces behind her magic powers are fire and emotion. She will be getting stronger as the stories go on. She has not reached her full potential but as she follows Eagle in his calling she will reach the level to fight off the dangers she will encounter. She can envelope her entire body in fire and she can fly without the assistance of armor of the great birds which Eagle needs to fly without using the contract powers. She is very talented in her spell cast she can use fire magic without burning things or people she doesn't want to burn.
She is important to this story line for a few reasons she keeps Eagle grounded. Also important to take note of the fact that Mouse has for most of the time she's known Eagle she has had a big crush on him.
Any questions about this particular character please do ask.

Anyone that knows me well and reads my stories learns I don't talk a lot about politics but I do put it in my writing. You might not see it if you don't make the connections. If you've been reading my Eagle Cliff stories and think about the content you can see some stuff in particular my distaste for political figures that use blind hatred to influence others.
I'm not talking about anything within reason. People get upset about lots of stuff that happen in life. I would even go so far to say there's no such thing as a righteous anger but anger is a danger to the human soul. Anger is a powerful driving force the biggest danger from it is someone other than you doing the driving. When I say blind hatred I speak of those that move people to listen to them by encouraging hatred for people, laws or things so much to an extreme it blinds them to understanding and trusting others with a different message. That kind of hatred is hurts everyone that is effected to by it. Blind hatred is a poison to the soul if one holds this in heart without letting it go or forgiving it's my belief that it kills the soul slowly. I believe with that toxic kind of anger a person can loose themselves. That's why I picked blind hatred itself as the villain of the two stories I completed.
Sincerely, Ash

Hey readers I'm I have been thinking over story material for a while now with nothing new to show I'm working on changing that. I got a request for adventure and adult stories. Oh geez I'll be writing adventure.
I need to do a lot more writing before I have anything to post. However for people that like to read as the story comes together on Facebook that will be seen more sooner but for the rest I'll tell you some points of interest now. First the name so far all I got to call it is After Math Fantasy. Second some character name you will see a lot of Vince Bearcap, Vasti, Wade, Rune and Shela for starters more as come with more names of course. Also trying something a little new here with the rhythm of the story these stories will cite songs and even have a play list for the over all feel of what's going on in the story in different parts. I am open to song suggestion I read every comment and message and like I said it's something new I'm trying.
Back to the title what is an after math fantasy is what you're likely wondering right what else would put in there. I would say a great change in the world an event happened then there's what happens after is the meat of the story. To no surprise to you I'm sure next I'd say something more fantasy than could really happen. So to list a few after math fantasies I would say Planet of The Apes, Fallout, 9, Hunger Games, Riverworld, our beloved Free Realms and hard time remembering names of others I know more is out there. These have a bit of fantasy to them hope you'll enjoy happy reading.
Sincerely, Ash

That's where my problem comes in I've never been female. Never had bad date as a girl because I never been a girl that's my challenge to try an understand what is the kinda of date that just makes a girl think did I really bother to shave my legs for this.
I may regret starting this later but right now committed to finishing this story. So ladies now is the best time to go a rant of any bad date, problems getting a date or having your period. Things that bother you about guys all of it.
I may regret starting this a lot later but dammit I'm gonna listen to any story and all I get now no matter the content or subject so long as it's related to this. If you pass on this don't give me the old your so hard to talk to after this when I avoid talking about something related.

Hello readers been a while since I been writing been having a rough time lately. My bad arm hasn't hurt so much in a really long time and that been effecting my sleep in July, August, September and this is the start of October I believe. So been stalled on the next part of Eagle Cliff what ever number that would be. Stalled is that the right word does that make sense? I don't know I'm tired hard to think um I don't know the word that fits. Hopefully this will be getting better soon long past time I should see a doctor see they help me sleep.
Plan first to finish the story I been stuck on. Second plan don't waste good material I should write about my feelings. I have an idea for a story haven't started just kind of something I think about and maybe make a few notes. Now I got an idea for the hero the main character and a name for the story.
This idea I got coming to together will be under the title "Second Heart Beat." The main character Ulysses will have a bad arm that causes him pain also will have gotten sick causing more pain. Nothing really deadly but enough of problem to require lots of tests that add to the characters stress and frustration levels. Early on in the story I see him getting some bad stuff in his eye so he needs an eye patch. In his past he will have slightly too much in the way of pain killers being part of the reason he isn't using any. Doesn't drink alcohol either. He lives on a flying city that travels the Sun's solar system and is part of the second heart beat project his city is changed with preservation of sea mammals like dolphins.

So while I haven't been feeling up to adding new stories to the library lately given personal struggles to just handle my basics I have moments to relax some. From watching a web series called Death Battle I noticed a problems some fall into when getting lazy with writing. Something I hope to avoid. Examples Superman is really stupid powerful with powers that simply do not make any kind of logic even in a realm where someone could actually get this super powerful from the Sun. This comic born hero has the power to hear sounds on Earth from space and even from other worlds with no explanation except for super hearing. Sound is added to many shows and movies that feature space fights to add some general interest the though a silent movie or tv show is less interesting to people that grow up when silent movies where a thing of the past. Not that a silent movie was really silent or that some nature of them didn't live on. Example movie theaters once had pianos or what ever to play music during the movie and music has continued to be important to making movies and tv shows. Also if you've watched Looney Tunes growing up especially Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote you've seen some influences of early silent movie making. But I have gotten way off point my point maybe that has a place in Mario type land but for more grown up and a land, world, universe more like ours sound will not pass through space I don't care how good you hear on Mars you will never hear sound from Earth. One thing you might hear coming from the Earth is radio many have confused radio waves with sound waves but they're not. You can't hear radio waves without a radio because radio waves are light. Back on track not just picking on DC comics. Now is time for Marvel again through many challenges some characters just seem to get crazy powerful to survive just about anything like the crazy healing powers of Wolverine and Deadpool. Now good writing you keep such characters interesting but at same time you have challenge of how do you keep people caring when it seems like no one can kill this character kind of cuts down on the suspense factor among other things also takes away from how much a character needs to think and problem solve when just need to go straight in since nothing going to take them down.
At times I've come up with a crazy powerful character that seems like they have no limits until you dive into the story. One such character I'm still the notes stage with haven't posted anything to read on the story yet is so powerful when the full force of their power in unleashed it could end all life on the world. Flip side to this I've made is that they lack the power to control it instead power comes for everyone else the power could be used to save the world with a catch you have to save everyone even your enemies. This of course will stress the characters limits to try and control extreme power they have very little ability to control while stressing also mental limits.
Anyways some thoughts I had any questions or point you'd like to make please do.
Sincerely, Ash

Expanding on Eagle Cliff I knew for this third part I wanted to tell a story about regret. Hit a few things that were important to telling this part of the story. Trying to figure out how to add the meat to the story of course the news stories when I'm writing this helped me decide to go this way of politics. I don't know if I'll feel it important to bring up later or what I might bring up. It's very likely I might hit on some issues at time without putting a spot light politics like I have already this helped tell the story and main point is not political ideal of this is good this is bad everyone should think this way. If you have read the first two you might have gotten the idea of some people I tend to not like much. You know the AC/DC Highway to Hell. Before the song came out one of these types that use the Bible as weapon made the comment they're on the highway to Hell and clearly they were not hurt by it they used to make money. The fact is the guy that made comment really didn't know anything about the religious beliefs of who he was talking about. Personally I don't think of myself as a easy person to offend but past couple years I been offended several times by the type of people that go around saying well must not be a good Christian if you disagree with them.
I consider myself Lutheran which it would seem many believe to be a bad Christian. Years ago I don't remember how long off the top of my head the Church made a lot of news when a homosexual female reverend came out and wanted the Church to change some old rules about starting families. Now clearly this was pretty big but let me explain a little so you can truly understand how big this whole thing was. The homosexual thing aside even today you can find several Churches that don't allow women to preach a service. Actually still many today that don't believe women should wear pants. This women was incredibly brave to step out into the spot light like she did. Opening up this conversation had a huge impact on world politics because the thing is there are entire nations that are half or more Lutheran. So as I tell different parts of the story I might hit a few issues that are common in politics like LGBT because they bring up a lot of unfounded anger that is hurtful.
Over all plenty of anger and bitterness to write about I have an idea where the story is going. I have the bones I got to figure out how to add the meat of the story.
Now then there's the question would I get more political if not for Eagle Cliff for another story maybe a political commodity. I don't think so at this time with this thing in my gut I'm literally not sure I have the stomach for it. Maybe it be good stress relief like how when you watch Seth Meyer's a closer look you feel better at least he made you laugh. On the other hand if I actually came up with something myself oh would be coughing up blood thinking everything that has happened and putting it all down. Might be too much for me at this time. Sure I can point out some silly things that make me laugh like people going on mad rants about those 13 anger democrats which happen to actually be all registered republicans. Or how people that acted like restoring law and nation security in 2016 are also like oh shut down the Robert Muller investigation. I'm like really the guy found 3 foreign agents that worked in the white house that sounds like a law and nation security issue to me.
Anyway hope you enjoy reading I'll be thinking about the next thing I want to work on writing happy reading to you.
Sincerely, Ash

Having troubles making sense of clutter in my brain lately. The usual people I talk to when I got too much on my mind are busy. Trying to focus has been not working very well. I'm trying to do stuff but outside of work everything just harder.
So started writing a story I called February Land then I got all these ideas for another story Second Heartbeat mixing and then more clutter gets me distracted. Next I got stuff running through my head about a political comedy idea not helping me stay focused also likely not one I'll post on you know Mystic Adventures due to language will be colorful and still a maybe not sure I actually want to. After that I ideas going through my mind about Eagle Cliff 4 wrapping up some of the loose ends and moving that story on. Then I don't know why but the idea came to me to take a story with adult content and clean it up into story that could be shared with more people and keep thinking about that every now and then. As if that wasn't enough clutter running through my mind next I got ideas running through my mind unnamed story involved time travel, dimensional rifts and very different worlds yes because I guess my mind didn't think things were confusing enough. Can't even figure out my own dating profile I got single, six foot one, blue eyes, dark blond hair and currently doesn't want to be touched any where on the right side of my body not arm, leg, back, ear or anything on the right have nerve damage pain working through.
I really need someone that can keep up with my random mind and be just as random as me at times to get me focused. Someone I can bounce ideas off of and dig through the clutter.
Sincerely, Ash

So lets cover common points that have become stereo types of fiction. Starting with weakness for seriously powerful character. Now instead of starting with stupid, weird or crazy I'm actually starting with ones that make sense and based on really thing even if at times they seem odd to people sometimes.
Maybe few Fairy Tail fans maybe some not fans yet need to see the show no worries not really any big spoilers coming. Natsu Dragneel not very smart but a skill strategist that has proven very capable of taking down extremely dangerous opponents. His greatest weakness is motion sickness often used as a funny part in the story it's actually not as ridiculous as some may think. This is actually a really thing motion sickness effects real people so on my list I'm putting this as one of the most possible weaknesses.
Next lets go Batman and Robin for a moment. Dick Grayson the original Robin that would become Nightwing almost died as Robin because of a food allergy which seems silly considering what else he's been up against. However lets ask how silly is it really. You need to prepare to fight your enemies you know they come with guns, poison gas, razor blade decks of cards, freezing cannons, explosives, mind bending drugs, big jungle cats, killer robots, swords, flame throwers, dogs, acids, killer plant monsters, polar bears and super powers many types. So all things considered and sure I'm likely missing more than one are we really surprised he wasn't prepare for food to be thrown in his face. Again real thing effects real people another more possible weakness that makes sense.
Vampires okay garlic a little odd and I really actually wonder how anyone would have learned this. I mean I never heard how in any story I'd be interested in hearing if out there is some story of logic how this became known. Like those vampires attacks all in village except the garlic farmers or what ever. Lets ignore that for a moment let us focus on practical weaknesses if you're going to fight vampires though many stories with different kinds of vampire lore behind them I'll talk about the most common I know. First way I know to kill a vampire stake in the heart and second cutting off it's head. Well alright let us use our logic break down the stake in the heart. Does in really have to be a stake? What reason could we give to this? In many vampire stories drinking blood isn't just a food source it heals wounds and some stories either say or hint that vampires healing powers the heal non fatal wounds fast with out drinking more blood. Okay so breaking down logic here lets consider size matters the stakes are big and thick a bullet small and thin. The stake for sure stands to a bigger disruption to heartbeats. So the stake questionable as why it has to be a stake but can stand up to some logic. Now the second decapitation yeah that stands up to logic pretty well without breaking it down. Instead lets be clear you know the heroes and other people around are in for a lot more trouble when bad guy picks up his own head and puts it back on. Or other villains as was the case in one of Sleepy Hallow movies when the headless horseman got his head back he wasn't a dagger to the heroes at that point. So you know what that stands up completely.
So getting late here I'll add to my thoughts later happy reading to you reader.
Sincerely, Ash

Going back to my subject of last night I covered things that made some sense in fictional stories I'll drop off that and move to some that make less sense.
Starting with werewolves weakness the silver bullet. Now in some context it's silver in particular that is the weakness even though the first way I heard it was silver bullet. I guess bullets make more sense than other options better chance of keeping distance and preventing bites or scratches. Actually might surprised to hear a silver bullets tested were less accurate than the standard making them not only sometime special you would to make but not as useful. Historical reason may come from questionable stories of the Beast of Gevaudan in France 1764 to 1767 blamed for deaths in the area reportedly killed by Jean Chastel in June 19, 1767 with silver bullets he had blessed by a priest before shooting it. So does this hold up wolves are not known to be very aggressive rarely attack people except in stories and wolves aren't any more weak to silver than any other metal made into a weapon. I've heard many stories come from times when more stray dogs wonder through Europe with no master to claim them. Stray dogs are more likely to hurt people as are trained dogs. Also many details point a lion reasonable actually trading with Africa currently going on someone could have brought a lion to France most people not know what it is might think it's monster. Then I remember people check French records found a taxidermy hyena listed as something like a werewolf body. So no animal or person puts a special reason to this something supernatural. Silver bullets are linked to other supernatural things with no clear reason. Another historical fact on werewolves over a hundred years before the case I mention two men plead guilty to murders with the defense they were werewolves. The men were burn at the stake. Really bad defense for the time.
Now of course possibly the only word the references a weakness better than a silver bullet is kryptonite. What is it where does it come from. It's roots believe it or not the Superman radio show the start needed a vacation so they needed a reason Superman would sound different for a week. The answer was a made up weakness called kryptonite that effected Superman's voice for a week. This would be picked up and made officially cannon by the comic later.
I'll get into the rest later again getting late here happy reading to you.
Sincerely, Ash

Back to what I been going on about hoping it might clear my head. I left off with kryptonite explaining how it first became a thing. After the beginnings things get a bit mixed up people involved in Superman projects whether it be comics, TV or movies are unclear with the effects largely because they don't have a reason except it gave a guy a vacation I figure. So what ended up happening was a color code which is still unclear in details or reason. Now you think it make sense for DC Comics to come up with a standard color code that works and has logical reasoning that cross from Superman to Green Lantern and anything else effected by light and colors. That's because it would have made sense. When it comes to visible light and colors the whole thing gets really weird. Adding at least a little logic kryptonite in what form it comes be it crystal, liquid, metal or another type of rock not crystal comes from Superman's home planet. Almost logic they both get super powers I guess you'd say. I need a vacation made the most sense to me personally.
I could good with but lets move a bit different fictional stories common themes. Parents in stories now let me ask if I told you the key details of a character do you think you can tell me about the parents of the character? When talking about common points that have become stereo types of fiction of course some although maybe surprise before I was born have become so common that might know before that plot twist comes because we've seen or read it so much. "Luke I am your father." Might have been a huge surprise plot twist for Star Wars since that's what we all think of when the I'm your father comes from a bad guy. Bad parents, evil parents, parents dead, one parent dead these have become tools for character developing to some degree. Sometimes they make us feel better like when hear real life murders identify with Norman Bates mother son relationship might make you feel better about a some what messed up relationship you have with your own mom. I'm like hey it might not be great but clearly could be worse. What's the worst or best for a character? Does Harry Potter have to be an orphan? Does Batman have to be an orphan?
Getting late again I'll leave that for you think about and I come back to it later.
Sincerely, Ash

Been a while since I updated what I was working on because well I have been hurting more and that is effecting my sleep again. Anyway left off on parents in fiction and what the heck let us expend to family in general. So we know the lines, "I'm your father," ... "I'm your mother," ... "I'm their evil twin," and so on. Family can be really screwed up that might some inspiration for some stories. Now we have all had issues or will some point. If you have always had a perfect family life everyone gets along and loves each other well this read will be a bit strange for you.
So might as well tell you a little about my family back ground. Mom side of family has the deepest roots in the country and most screwed up which I guess makes sense. Being some of first to arrive from Europe, try to take over a land occupied by others, take part in violent conflicts over control, be party to genocide and civil war where very well literally kill your own family makes for building blocks of pretty damn messed up. I never know my grandparents from that side well I heard stories and that's about what I know of them. Grandpa came to Washington as a child with his family. Grandpas mom died his dad kicked all the kids out he felt were old enough to take care of themselves also told them to take care of a few younger that weren't quite old enough. At the age of 14 grandpa was kicked out and told to take care of his 12 year old brother. His dad would get married again and have more kids. Grandpa well I know 2 jobs he had I kinda know for sure logger and something in the Navy. As a logger he got a axe split into his back then he saw the owner of the axe ripped in half by a snapped steal rope. Never seemed to fully recover from that I'm told. He married had 4 kids. Actually grandma was what we call an adulterer it's strongly believed my moms biological dad was really the dad of one of closest friends growing up. One uncle never met after serving in a war spent most the rest of his life in an institution been a few question about reason why I don't have much to say that wouldn't say in general about government, treatment of veterans or you know basic things I believe. One aunt became a Catholic nun and my other aunt I don't remember ever seeing got married had kids. So also a another uncle never remember seeing and cousins I don't know. Now my dads side came over mostly sometimes before world war one I think. Catholic family by the way reminder I'm Lutheran important fact. Most came from the Netherlands and Ireland. Although grandmas family had a French name they didn't pronounce it right for a French name but they didn't have an Irish name. Grandpas family I don't know think they changed names at some point weird name maybe to sound less German you know because of the world wars. Grandpa and Grandma had 6 kids. Grandma died of cancer a type of cancer she was said to be cured of at an earlier date. It coming back did fuel a distinct mistrust in my dad in the medical field and arguments other terms they use and should use. Grandpa served in the army and got a office job that paid good. He took an early retirement and figured out how to send most of kids to college. My dad choose to make things easier on grandpa and joined the Navy while his sister went to college. This is the only grandparent I really got to know.
Getting pretty late I can finish this up later.
Sincerely, Ash

Going on with my theme picking up where I left off last time. My dad side gets along I know all my aunts and uncles. Met most of my cousins one lives far away never met but have met her sister on two visits. One marriage I know of didn't work on see one my dads brothers had a group of friends in high school pretty simple high school story the most attractive boy and girl in the group started dating. They got married but when brothers and sisters got married and had kids it started becoming more clear something was off they split before having kids. That uncle married again and got two step kids things seem to be working out for the better as far as I can tell.
For my immediate family mom married two or three times depending on who tells the story and how much they been drinking. She had my older brothers before marrying my dad. Dad joined the nuke program in the Navy was too tall for sub so he had to work on an aircraft carrier. Came to Washington while in the Navy met my mom. I'm the youngest of 3 brothers although a bit questionable. Okay I have 2 half brothers and my brothers have a half brother other than me I'm what he is to me if anything. So story is before I was born my mom was legal guardian of this kid the real mother got some thugs to beat up my mom while she kidnapped her kid and he disappeared for a long time. News about came up as an adult on arrested for murder. My brothers are a lot older than me I often consider myself the forgotten child. Nearly impossible to tell my parents anything important and they forget a lot. I tried talking them into doing something about my nerve damage years ago but it was I'm bugging them too much, not enough, wrong time and so on. Well got the point of unlikely anything could be done to very unlikely to maybe but could also make thing worse. I've disappeared for hours without anyone noticing growing up. Mom has had what she calls long conversations with me when I wasn't home a few of those after I moved out. I kinda get along with my parents get along with my dad a lot better.
So my family relationships have affected me in becoming the person I am today some positive some negative I would guess. To some degree they might have effected my writing how I see people and the world. That said I think others we aren't related to can be huge impacts on our lives maybe more than people we're related to. So when coming up with a character in a story lots of things shape people into what they become some people have deep issues that make Darth Vader chopped off his sons hand seem like it doesn't make him the worst. Some say what ever leave the past in the past chance to make your future better. Some get stuck on small petty little things.
So on this subject let take old classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Lets ask did Mark Twain need Huck to be an orphan for his story and why? Well to Mark Twain's experience before and after the civil war he seemed to believe that would have made the most sense given Huck's family and how people would treat him in this time because of it put Huck in place less attached to the community. This makes challenging his beliefs on slaves easier. Lets go another classic not that I got some heavy favor for classics just because they're time tested by several generations. Anyway I remember first time I saw the movie Harvey I hated the movie and that really explained in the DVD special features old interview of star tells the story of when he started on it as a play in England. He explain in shows he'd see kids that after a while loose interest get fidgety. One show a kid couldn't take it stands up and asks where's the rabbit. Thing is it's not a kids story it's made for adults. When I saw it later as an adult it turned out I liked the movie. So on subject much of family issues are relevant to the story minus one thing I am not sure if was thought to be important at the time or why. I'm sure why the main character has a different last name than his father or that mattered at all.
So maybe next time I'll have a new subject with this theme that might be more exciting like the hero outrunning the giant fire ball or maybe something with less math like lore of stories.
Sincerely, Ash

This part of my theme I been working on I take a wider subject starting with bad movies. Now sure if you haven't yet at some point you're gonna pay to see a bad movie. First thing to getting people to see a movie especially if your movie isn't based on a book, comic or what ever else that people know about before the movie is the trailer. The movie trailer is made to get people hooked and want to see it.
Sometimes the problem is literally all the good parts of the movie are in the trailer. I never saw the movie of "Avatar The Last Airbender" and hear that's not a problem. Based on what I've heard seconded hand that was a very typical case of all the best parts of the movie fit in that 3 minute trailer. Movie I don't know most movies are between one and half hours to 2 hours so yeah insult to bad news. What I understand fan of the "Avatar the Last Airbender" show and other related material didn't like the movie because they went way off the lore telling a different kind of story that wasn't any good. So to many that's the worse bait and switch movie ever. Lets see for me "Transformers 2" I never seen any the movies that came after it. Now I'm big Transformers geek I've seen several of the TV shows, had lots of Transformer toys and I know a few things about the lore. Up to "Transformers 2" this story been told in different ways but Optimus Prime has anyways as far as far as I've seen had the spark matrix since becoming Optimus Prime. This off lore story they told oh maybe sure I wasn't paying to see another by the same people unless I was sure was good and even then maybe not until you can find it in the $5 bin. I mean really I mean come on now if I asked someone that didn't know much about Transformers who these characters is the optimal prime don't you think most would guess right. It's literally in his name!
So how about movies that show you stuff that didn't actually make it in the movie? You know showing deleted material that's little odd right. If movie doesn't turn out to be a bad movie makes you wonder why they didn't they cut more that made it in and work with the deleted stuff more to make it better?
Then of course the cost of movies are going up if I'm going to pay to see it in theaters I feel I should know it's something I actually want to see. The "Avengers" big new movie I never saw first one honestly and I really just not that excited by it. Also I know Marvel has been making lots of movies for a long time now part 2 decades I don't know that there has been a signal year a movies were made all without that Marvel tag. I have to check on that see when movies came out but I really think every year for past 2 decades Marvel had a new movie. Anyway point is not all were worth seeing.
Another common problem we see in particular monster movies and well some in Transformers is this focus on human characters that goes way to far and not showing what people actually wanted to see the movie for. American Godzilla movies famous for being bad. "King Kong" remake I heard it some crazy amount of time before you see King Kong and I'm thinking yeah that doesn't make a lot sense that's kinda all that is going to attract people to see the movie. Giant monster movies people go to see giant monsters fight. Fight other giant monsters, robots, the army and so on. In case of Transformers people are going to watch the transformers all these human people are like the human characters in the TV shows I can't name. I can name you know robots in disguise. Something Hollywood hasn't caught onto yet sometimes the fictional character is the actual star and big name actors needing more screen time can drag down a movie. Godzilla is bigger star than anyone who has starred in an American Godzilla movie.
Sincerely, Ash
