Plus, They aren't even Heroes...
They're just Homeless Preteens who are just trying to survive in a Crappy Town filled with Crappy People & Monsters! If anything, the Fault goes to Maggot for choosing to devour that Woman since He was a Divine Messenger from YHWH that disguised Himself as a Baby!

Very Stale Doofenshmirtz Joke aside, it's Pretty Cool seeing Little Nemo getting New, Modern & Earnest Adaptations that take Advantage of the Original 1905 Comic Strip being in the Public Domain...

Since it's Black History Month & I'm a BIG Mythology Fan, I've got a Question for You All...

What is Your Personal Favorite African American Folktale?
#AfricanAmerican #GullahGeechee #BlackArt

Hmm, there's a LOT to choose from Various Mythologies!
But if I was picking an African American or Gullah Geechee Folktale, it would definitely be "Alligator meets Trouble" where Brother Rabbit mischievously shows Gator what "Trouble" is like...

Recently watched the Backyard Sports Animated Special & I really gotta to say that both Earthworm Jim & this Special are Great Examples of how to Faithfully Translate the Tone, World & Characters of a Video Game Series into the Format of a Cartoon!

Well, I would reimagine them as a Playful African American Couple & Performers that moved from the Southeast U.S. to make a New Living, with Bosko being a Juba Dancing Trickster, while Honey is a Cunning Flapper Girl who sings Blues!

Also, shoutout to these 2 Artists' Great Redesigns for Them... ↓)

There's been Many Powerful Scenes throughout the History of Film, but I can hardly think of One Moment from a Theatrical Movie that hit Me just as Hard & as True on a Personal Level as an African American as this Scene did...

Links are in the ALTS...

A Diamond-Shaped Yowa Cross (aka, the Kongo Cosmogram or Dikenga) chiseled onto the Wooden Floor in the 1st Historic African Baptist Church in Savannah, GA! It's a Circular Symbol from the BaKongo Religion (that luckily survived in Hoodoo Practice in the Form of Crossroads & the Ring Shout) that represents & depicts the Physical World & the Spiritual World as well as Symbolizes the 4 Stages (Conception, Birth, Maturity & Death) of Life & the 4 Rotations (Rising, Peaking, Setting & Absence) of the Sun in Religious BaKongo Culture.

Ipomoea purga, a Species of Flowering Plant whose Roots in Hoodoo Practice & Folklore are associated with the African American Deity, High John de Conqueror!

Uncle Monday, a Shapeshifting Conjurer & Medicine Man from African American Mythology! Legends says Uncle Monday lived among the Seminoles & Afro-Seminoles in Florida after escaping Slavery on the Underground Railroad & traveling through South Carolina & Georgia! Folklore also say He was able to transform into an Alligator by dancing to the Rhythms of Seminole & African music and led a Resistance Movement against Enslavement using his Conjure Powers...

Bruh Cooter & Br'er Rabbit, 2 Famous Animal Tricksters from African American Folklore! Also, "Br'er/Bruh" means "Brother" in African American Vernacular English & Gullah Geechee...

Honestly, If I was ever able to make a Cartoon, it would be about an Urban Black Kid being thrust into African American Mythology, Hoodoo Spirituality & meeting Entities like Br'er Rabbit, High John de Conqueror, Simbi, Uncle Monday, Flying Africans, Haints, Boo Hags, Plat-Eyes & The Crossroads Man!

Given just HOW Important it was for Japan's Mythology, History & Shinto Practice. I'm surprised that there's VERY Few #Kojiki (lit. "Ancient Matters Record") Adaptations. Sure, you'll see MANY nods to it, but for Legit Adaptions you'd expect more than just These & a Few Obscure Manga. #古事記

Eh, I say the Credit more goes to the Developers than Nick, but yeah...
Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny was a Simple yet Decent ARPG, SpongeBob Titans of the Tide was a Great 3D Platformer & now this New Avatar Fighting Game has already showed a TON of Depth & Potential with it's Mechanics!

Seeing Danny's Fortnite Model has made me gain a MUCH Better Appreciation for Nick Kart Racers 3, Nick Extreme Tennis, SMITE's 3D Models for Danny!

These ain't Perfect, but at least They look more Appealing...

Sun Wukong doesn't have a True Giant Demon Form in the 1592 Novel!
He does change into a Giant with 3 Heads & 6 Arms a few times, but that's just a Form that He copied off from Nezha in Chapter 4! The "Were-Monkey" Form in KOEI's Saiyuki is more of a Direct Reference to Oozaru from Dragon Ball...

Also, YES!!! Titans of the Tide IS that Good! Seriously, in Terms of Movement, Platforming, Puzzles & EVEN the Bosses, Purple Lamp have truly outdone themselves! This is a Genuinely Great 3D Platformer that (like BfBB) truly validates The Absorbent Yellow One's Spot in the Gaming Landscape! (2/2)

Sora, Donald & Goofy by Shiro Amano!

THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!!! Plus, Disney & Final Fantasy...

Aka, he FULLY embraces the silliness of the Disney Characters while ALSO having Sora, Riku, Kairi, the Final Fantasy Gang & even Organization XIII act & feel more like ACTUAL people! Admittedly, Kingdom Hearts I & II did do this well at times, but Shiro Amano does it well CONSISTENTLY! (2/2)

I'm always amazed by Shiro Amano's Artwork for Kingdom Hearts! Amano does such a Good Job mimicking the Artsyle & Expressions of the Disney Characters, with the Expressions he/she draws for Sora & Final Fantasy Cast also being Great, Emotional, Playful & even Hysterical!

I can unironically see James Woods saying Hades' Lines here...

#KingdomHearts #キングダムハーツ #Disney #FinalFantasy
The more I reread/revisit Shiro Amano's Manga, the more I realize that Amano does for Kingdom Hearts what Ted Woolsey did for Kefka in #FFVI and what both Machinabridged & REBIRTH also did for #FFVII in My Opinion... (1/2)
