Yes I have no soul

Why? because I grew up thinking that everything should be shared and that the media has too much power anyways. The one who loses her job is a member of the working class. The working class more directly suffers from the stealing of movies than do people in power. aka. the people in power esp. in the media redirected their suffering to workers in their company giving the message that you hurt a number of your own if you steal. Therefore, this video is effective in instigating sympathy in the "stealer." I don't steal movies because they are major works that took many years. I have respect for movies. But for t.v. shows and music, I stream. I don't steal necessarily, but I don't buy either, and I don't have less respect or contempt for those who do. Our generation (10-30 years (huge range) grew up in a culture learning that listening to music is free and so paying for it is not worth it). Because otherwise, people should no longer go to shopping malls, inside stores, or any institution without feeling the need to pay (this would be better for society anyways). People shouldn't club without having to pay for the appearance of "free" music. Also, there should be no showing of any outdoor movies or free showings without having the people feel the need to pay. The existing fan basis for hundreds of movies and T.V. shows should also be 10x smaller. but these things are free from time to time and because we were raised to think music is free due to listening on the radio, mall music and etc, the higher institutions should not punish us for how (we are raised)/ (they raised us) to think. Stealing doesn't benefit anyone. It hurts, and anyone who has been stolen from should know, but (directed to CEOs and etc. making millions/billions), paying less tax than the general population can also be considered as good as stealing (and also as dishonest as stealing).

the amazing spider man (huh) and the dark knight rises (huh again)
Where's the originality? Why do something that's already there?---oh yeah duh. to profit from. The first spider man must've been lucrative enough to continue recreating the spider man series. but fucking hell (i've been saying that a lot). It's only been like 5 years since spider man 3 came out. Where's the originality these days in creating a new superhero and not just re-doing the old one? Are production companies not willing to take the risk? and put their fate into the hands of (at least) a new super hero? (instead of rely upon the pre-existing fan base of old American comic based heroes). Compare this to Japan: a new super hero every season. Their was Guilty Crown and Tiger and Bunny recently and then there was Astroboy and Sailor moon in the past. Gundam is constantly being recreated, but that's seriously OLD! Naruto and Bleach are also super OLD. Generally long running manga lose their fan base after a while, but unlike spiderman, neither of them are done yet. (bleach soon though). There will hopefully be NO Bleach 2. I am sick and tired of Spiderman this and spiderman that. The previous spiderman as a whole was an okay-pretty good work and recreation already. Batman is also doing the same thing. Shame on Christopher Nolan for the Batman series and Marc Webb for the Spiderman series. Give the new age a new hero and let the old ones stand as legends!

Spiderman vs "The Amazing
Too soon to be recreated. And it seems as though the filming style changed just by looking at the posters. I personally don't like the newer style of filming because it is more action, less story. Or that the action and the effects are given so much attention (bling-bling) that the story is very much secondary. I must admit that I haven't watched it though. The movie itself may be good, but I'm blogging about lack of character originality in this day and age and recreating too early after the spider man 3 release in 2007.
Hunter X Hunter (Japan)
Guilty Crown
Tiger and Bunny
1999
2012
Hunter x Hunter is being recreated in Japan but for better purpose. The manga is not finished, but has progressed some after the finish of Hunter x Hunter 1999. The new Hunter x Hunter is noticeably different in quality. It has created a fan base for the new age and is released while other superhero like characters are being created.
