JOE AMERICA

 

I’m calling him Joe America, because he sometime in the past, once called his former boss, on a campaign, Barack America. It has been a subject of jokes of some comedians such as Robin Williams etc.

But kidding aside. Come January, whether Trump like it or not, he will have to step down, and swore into power, the new President of the United States of America, the President Elect, Joe R. Biden. Him winning the elections, was one of the better news, along a stream of bad news this 2020.

I may not agree, of some of Democrat’s policy. But with Trump In office, and his handling of things, especially COVID-19, any Democrat will do, that can replace him. And as Joe Biden, rose as the candidate of the Democratic Party, it’s a good thing, that despite differences is principle within the party, they all come together behind Joe Biden, unlike what happen when Hilary Clinton ran for president.

All I am saying is, Joe Biden is the common sense candidate to be voted, against Trump. Especially with the mishandling of COVID 19 in the United States. With it being still the number 1 country with most cases in the whole world. A common sense, in the presidency, must be put in place, and that is Joe Biden, more than Trump. A leader, that should encourage wearing mask, and not discourage them. And a leader that encourage social distancing, rather than encouraging mass gathering. And again, that is Joe more than Trump.

I can only speak of COVID 19 for Joe Biden, because of the failure of Trump Administrations to tackle the crisis. Even if consecutive administrations before him, put a measure in place, to tackle such crisis, yet cases and deaths skyrocketed. Cause lets face it, many countries in the world are have a declined in number of cases, and deaths cause by COVID. Some have already declared the defeat of COVID 19 in their countries, even China has a lower number of cases now, which where the contagion started. But if the US, will not tackle COVID with seriousness right now, these pandemic, will be prolonged than expected. And don’t put all your hopes, on the vaccines, despite news that it has 95% effective. It will take years, to distribute to all the world, doses of it. And not being so negative, it might still failed as a vaccine. All we need to do is to stop the spread, by following  health protocols. And America is spreading it a lot, in their own country. And if they open up, they might spread again to the world, starting an endless cycle. That’s why I am glad, that Joe Biden won the elections. Even though I am not an American.

But what would be the implications, to my home country, the Philippines. Will it affect the stability of the Duterte Administration? Knowing that his former boss, Barack Obama, is the President of the US, that our President’s hates the most. Will it also had an effect, to the candidacy of the now Vice President Leni Robredo, just like him? I hope not.  We may never know. We hope a cooperation, and not so much intervention from the incoming administration. And we hope, that the Philppines start being treated as an equal and sovereign country, and not as a vassal, or a satellite state. Hoping for good transition, and better run as the new President of the United States. Good luck, and God Bless.

AVENGERS NEW VILLAIN

 

At least in the MCU, with Tony Stark dead, Steve Rogers surrendering the shield for good, who will lead the Avengers? Is it really finished? And I am gonna talk some plot points, that might happen, and those that already happened. So spoilers ahead everyone.

There are some scenes in Spider Man Far From Home, that Nick Fury, is pushing that young Peter Parker, to be the new leader of the Avengers. And as the movie progress, it seems that he might take the role.

But what is a hero, without a villain. With Thanos, being vanished to dust, or so it seems according at least to some internet theories. There is no clear and present danger, that the Avengers might be needed to be called upon. Or at least for me, so it seems.

Today, I reached a conclusion, or at least a prediction, that one former Avenger, that might become the next big villain, for the Avengers. And that is Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. Here are some reasons, why I reached that conclusion.

SHE IS A FORMER.  In the beginning of Age of Ultron. Wanda is working for Hydra, then later for Ultron. Until she was turned along with her brother, to the side of the Avengers. She might be turned again, because of some factors, we will talk down the line.

POWER. Wanda is confirmed by the Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, as the most powerful character, in the Avengers. That even Captain Marvel is below her in terms of power. We all witness what he had done, to Tony Stark, and also to Thanos, that led him to use his ships artillerry even against his own troops, just to be freed from Wanda’s grasps. As an old saying goes, Power corrupts. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely. And I will create a new from this. Great power, comes with great responsibility. No that’s not it. Great power, comes with great electric bill. No, still that’s not it. This is it. great power, corrupts greatly.

LOSS. In Avengers Age of Ultron, Wanda loss his brother Quiksilver, against a hail of machine gun fire, by Ultron. And look how he took revenge on Ultron, at the end. Even though it has no effect on him. Again on Infinity Wars, she was made to kill his love Vision, only to be revived again by Thanos, and killed again, to take the Mind Stone. And that time, Vision dies for good. And also Wanda was vanished to dust. But when she got revived, by the Infinity Gauntlet. Look again on how she took revenge on Thanos. Had Thanos, not used his ships guns. She might have finished him alone, by herself. Wanda is a vengeful being, it is clear.

Although I am quoting a line, from a different movie, and a different franchise, although both of them is now under Disney. Yoda said: Fear of Loss, is a part to dark side, Fear is a path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. I think Wanda is past fear already, she is already on the suffering stage. One step more, or already she might be on the dark side.

ABSENCE. There are three persons that might be able to control Wanda from leading astray. Tony Stark, Vision, and Steve Rogers. Two of them are already dead, and Steve Rogers, doesn't want to be Captain America anymore, and retired by travelling to the past, and settling there for good. Those are the people that she might listened to for advice. All of them are gone.

And those that can challenge her through power, Captain Marvel, and Thor, are both far away from her physically.  But again Marvel confirmed, even though they are near, she is that powerful, that even they can’t stop her.

Because of that factors, No one to stop her. Her being vengeful, Her being too powerful. She might be fit for a new villain for Avengers to stop. After all Avengers shines, when the odds are against them. But again that’s only me.
