Reasons Why The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Sucked

Last night, I saw The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. It sucked. It was sucktastic to the highest level. Well, maybe not the highest level. That would be the Percy Jackson movies. Here are a few reasons why it sucked.

1. The Accuracy

It sucked lemon lollipops. That's all I have to say. Just go read the books and be happy. Never see the movie again.

2. The Characters As They're Portrayed In The Movie

Thomas: The Wimp Who Would Die If He Were On His Own
Minho: The Humorous One
Newt: He's just kind of there...
Teresa: The Traitorous Girl With Supermodel Good Looks
Frypan: The Black Guy
Winston: The Brown One Who Dies
Brenda: The Bad*** Girl
Jorge: The Adult
Ava Paige: The Evil Adult Leader
Janson: The One Who Lied And Was WCKD The Whole Time

3. The Cranks

Okay, what I didn't get was why a virus made them zombies. I mean, in the books, the Cranks were insane. Smart, but insane. In the movies, they were lumbering blood-thirsty zombies who wanted nothing more than to kill the kids from the Glade.
The second thing is just their being. If they're hiding in the underground mall, then fine. That makes sense. But why do they only come out when someone turns on their flashlight or turn on the power? I mean, are they light/motion activated like robots? That makes no sense.
Another thing. When you are chasing someone, and you have an abundance of people to chase this person with, CHASE THEM FROM ALL SIDES! Do not come from just the back and give them a perfect opportunity to run for it! I mean, the Cranks are fast, too, so why don't you just surround them?

4. The Plot

The plot was actually pretty stupid. They basically escaped from an inescapable prison, conveniently walked towards a mall with shelter from the sandstorm, found supplies there, ran into the zombie virused people that will attack them if they get the chance, then found out from some random strangers that they just met that they have to go and find some people called The Right Arm who can help save them all. Hmmm..... Something sounds

5. THEIR AIM

Okay, let's get this straight. If you have fifty men with guns, and you have a perfect shot at one of the people you want to shoot, then shoot. I mean, if you're armed, then you must have had some kind of training in the past, right? Well, it certainly didn't look that way. And that's just the bad guys.
If you are trying to stop the bad guys from escaping, and they have captured all of your own men and put them in a giant helicarrier that has huge engines, then shoot the engines! I mean, without all the engines functional, then it's a bit hard for you to take off. It's also incredibly easy to hit the engines if you have a MACHINE GUN!

6. The Reality Of The Situations

"Oh, look! Zombie people are peeling themselves off of the walls! Let's watch them. Ooh! There's a few more! Wow, look at them. They're walking now. Towards us... do you think we should run? Nah. Let's just watch some more." No. Just no. If something is coming for you, RUN! Run your feet off you idiots! Do not just stand and watch them advance on you! IDIOTS! Ugh! It's rediculous. And that was basically half of the movie. Staring and watching as the bad guys, or the evil zombies are chasing you.

Reasons Why The Fantastic Four Reboot Sucked

Now, I have just returned home from the movie theater. I saw The Fantastic Four. It was bad.
It was more than bad, it sucked. Big time. These are the reasons why:

1. The Story
The story was stupid, and boring. There was really nothing happening until the very end, and even then, the climax wasn't really recognizable. I didn't really know when the real stuff was going to happen, and by the time I realized it had happened, the movie was over. Also, there was no character development. They were all super cardboard and one dimensional.

2. The Acting
I will say that Miles Teller is a talented actor, but in this movie, it just didn't cut it. Nothing about any of the characters had anything about them that endeared them to any of the viewers. And none of the actors brought anything to the characters. They were all very one dimensional and cardboard.

3. The Special Effects
Hands down, the worst I have seen for a Marvel movie yet. Marvel is a big corporation! They have the money to at least get a decent special effects team. I mean, the green screen was obvious, and all the powers were badly portrayed. That is all from me, as I don't really know much about the special effects and the goings on, but still. Bad.

4. Doctor Doom
Okay, to start off, Doctor Doom is one of the most formidable Marvel villains of all time. He is not bad just because, he is bad because he wants to protect his home country. In this movie, they made him bad just because he wanted to be bad. Also, they gave him powers that made him unstoppable. I mean, the ability to make people's heads explode just by looking at them? Why didn't he do that to the Fantastic Four? He certainly had the power to. Was he just, like, "Oh, you're stretchy. I guess I can't explode you!" No. He most definitely had the ability and he just didn't use it. Bad planning.

5. The Accuracy
Like I was saying with DD (doctor doom), they portrayed him badly. But when we get to the rest of the story... Yikes. First off, Victor von Doom had nothing to do with the space thing they made. All the characters were not teenagers. Sue and Johnny were siblings, but Sue wasn't adopted. Like, at all.

6. Sue's Hair
Okay, I'm not saying her hair was the only thing wrong with her, but I'm just going to focus on her hair. First off, the colour. I know Sue's hair is blonde, but with that actress, it just didn't fit. It was really obvious it was a wig, and just took away from the movie as I wondered, "Why didn't they at least get a decent wig? This is Marvel! They have a big budget."

7. The Dad's Death
That was confusing. First off, why didn't Doom just make his head explode like he did all the rest? Did he WANT his enemy to have the last words with his kids while he escaped? And the actors at that scene were so weird. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." About what? Sorry we went into space, or sorry we kind of let you die?

8. The Powers of Sue
I get that they had a year to get a hold on their powers, but even then, Sue had trouble staying in her bubble of energy for long periods of time because she had to hold her breath. But suddenly, as everything is happening, she can do it no problem? What the heck?

9. Ben and Reed's Relationship
Okay, so, Reed kind of abandoned Ben in the science lab and Ben hated him for it. But when Doom goes on his rage in the lab, they come see each other, exchange two lines, and suddenly they're all good? That makes no sense. There was no real reconciliation. I mean, what the heck?

10. Science This. Science That.
For most of the Marvel movies I've seen, there's some kind of sciencey something... But you should at least get a grasp on all of these things. I didn't understand anything about anything. All of their powers were purely circumstantial in this movie. I mean, what if Reed's door didn't close instead of Ben's, or Ben's window imploded instead of Johnny's, or what if another scientist instead of Sue had been controlling it and bringing them back?

11. No End Scene!
In every Marvel movie, there's always been an end scene. Whether it be Fury with Tony talking Avengers, or Thanos in the Avengers, there's always been one. This one had nada. Nothing. I even cried out at the end of the movie, "This isn't a true Marvel movie!" and almost everyone left in the theater laughed.

12. Most importantly, WHERE WAS STAN LEE?
In EVERY Marvel movie ever, there has always been a Stan Lee cameo. In Ant-Man, he was a bartender. In the original Fantastic Four, he was trying to get into their wedding. In the Avengers, he was on the news near the end. But in this movie, there was no cameo, which makes every single Marvel fan protest and cry, "This movie is GARBAGE!"

Because it is. This movie is, plain and simple, garbage. If you have anything else that you think is a reason why the fantastic four reboot sucked, then comment!

10 Differences Between the Percy Jackson Movies and Books (just to name a few)

The first thing Annabeth says is "I have           sleep"                                                                                 feelings for you. I just don't know if                                                                                                          they're positive or negative yet.                
10. Kronos comes back in the 4th book                          10. Kronos comes back in the 2nd movie

I could literally rant forever about this, but these are some of the things that annoyed me the most in the movies.

10 Awesome things in Ant-Man

Now, I went and saw Ant-Man, and I thought it was AMAZING! These are ten reasons why:

1. Fantastic acting
The casting was fantastic, and everyone did an amazing job playing their characters.

2. Awesome story line
I loved how they took a criminal who wanted to stop, and made him a criminal for good, and the whole Yellow Jacket thing...
It was great.

3. Hilarious dialogue
That is all. It was just hilarious.

4. IT WAS ACCURATE (mostly)
I mean, there was the whole bad guy as Yellow Jacket, when in reality it was Hank Pym who was the Yellow Jacket, but I digress. It was good for the most part.

5. They included the Avengers
The scene with Falcon fighting with Ant-Man was so funny.

6. Stan Lee's cameo was hilarious
Seriously. I'm not spoiling anything, because I want you to go see it, but it was so funny.

7. All the ants were so adorable
They were all little, and cute, and the one that got super big was adorable too.

8. The shrunken camera shots compared to the real life version
It's just a wonderful representation of what it's like when you're small compared to what normal-sized people see. Plus, it's really funny.

9. There weren't as many curses as I thought
It was pretty clean for the most part.

10. The Thomas train with the creepy eyes growing and crashing through the house.
I'm not saying anything; just see the movie.

All in all, it was amazing. Go see it.

5 Ways to Make Spiderman's Life Easier

Now, I've been watching the Spiderman movies recently, and I noticed that he's practically working himself to death. These are 5 ways to make his life easier:

1. Become a superhero yourself and help out
He's working so hard for you, and yet, you do nothing. You don't even thank him! Help out by taking parkour lessons, learn how to fight, and become a superhero on your own. He needs the extra hands.

2. Don't be judgy
He gets enough judgement from J. Jonah Jameson, he doesn't need you talking about how he's such a "menace" too.

3. Promote him
Talk to other people about how great he is! After all, he stops robberies, murders, and city-wide villain plots. Telling other people about his other accomplishments may help his self esteem and make him better at what he does.

4. Be nice if you see him
Don't yell. It distracts him from tying up the baddies. It's as simple as that.

5. Don't get in trouble!
Do you know how many more hours of sleep Spider Man could have gotten if people hadn't been stupid? MANY. If you were smart and didn't get in trouble, his job would be ten times easier.

So, be good and help out The Amazing Spider-Man.

Let's Get Real

Okay, so, a lot of my posts (all of them) have been centered around me, and I realize that's not what a blog is supposed to be like, so, I'm changing it. Welcome to Fangirl Central.

Percy Jackson, Divergent, The Selection, Warriors, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, maybe even a bit of Harry Potter.

So, in the coming weeks of summer, keep your eyes open for new posts from me!

Ugh... Save... Me...

Bleh...

I feel like crap right now. My stomach... I think it's rebelling. It's tired of being used.

Stomach: I don't wanna be used to process foods anymore!

Body: But you have to.

Stomach: NO!

It feels like I'm gonna puke, but at the same time, I'm hungry. Soooo hungry. But then, I try to eat, and I'm not. I can't eat. Last night, my brother woke up at 2:30 in the morning, crying. It was annoying, but he kept me from drifting back into a nightmare, so, cheers to him.

Then, however, my brother started puking everywhere. It was so gross, listening to the sound of his stomach contents emptying over the bathroom floor, his floor, and the toilet. But I couldn't go back to sleep because my stomach started to hurt!

At maybe 3:30, I snuck downstairs on a fridge raid... Until I couldn't find anything appetizing to eat. How awful...

I think that I'm going to try going to church today, because I have to lead a group of grade 3-4s alone today, and I don't know if they'd have enough volunteers otherwise, but I don't know how I'm going to do. I want to just stay home.

Ughradfhdksjhfdaskhf. I'm gonna be sick. Bye.
