posted by whatsupbugs

Life is hard to summarize, but there's so many different aspects of life that range in quality. There's so much bad and good in this world. Things can often get difficult, confusing, stressful and hard. However, there are people out there that make things feel easier, clearer, sweeter and nicer. There are people that make the bad days easier and the good days even better.

Who are these people that I'm referring to? I'm referring to my friends here on Fanpop. As you probably know, there's a lot of negativity online. There's a lot of people that do and say some pretty offensive stuff. Because of that, it's easy for the internet to get a bad reputation. However, you make coming online worth it. You fill the internet, especially Fanpop, with so much positivity, compassion and heart. You treat people the way that they deserve to be treated. You're there to help me and others in need. You share your meaningful, heartfelt thoughts with your props and comments. You make coming to Fanpop a blessing.

If I'm being honest, I often don't feel highly of myself. I feel filled with self-doubt and guilt. I made a lot of mistakes in my life when it came to socializing. I unintentionally alienated a lot of people on here and made them feel upset. I felt bad about that when it happened. I still feel bad about that to this day. My goal has been to throw out negativity and promote positivity. I want to make up for the poor choices of the past by bringing as much positivity, comfort and happiness as I can. You help me with that. You help show me how friends deserve to be treated. You help show me how magical friendship can really be.

When things get extra stressful and scary, I can depend on a very special, wonderful group of people to give me the help that I need. That group of people consists of you and my other friends here on Fanpop. You give me the heartwarming advice, support and help that I've been needing for a long time.

Due to my social anxiety, I used to not be interested in friendship. However, my friends on Fanpop have made me appreciate friendship on a whole new level. I've grown to love friendship. That might never have happened if I hadn't met so many wonderful people on Fanpop.

Will Fanpop be around forever? I don't know. What I do know is that you have my eternal gratitude. No matter how much time passes, I'll always be grateful to you for everything.

whatsupbugs @NectariaKiritsi Thank you. I greatly appreciate your positivity, thoughtfulness and sweet comments.

steph86 Very nice, best wishes!

yorkshire_rose Oh, I couldn't agree more about the bigger social media sites like, facebook, twitter,insta, bringing toxic behaviour, sometimes on here too,just stay clear of those kind of people ! but not everyone has that kind of mindset. So I think it's refreshing to be here on fanpop amongst friends. I am a firm believer that true friends should always show, love, care, support, loyalty, a shoulder to cry on if needed, to be trustworthy and to be worthy of the name friend. If you find that in someone then it's certainly something to be grateful for. Heart warming article i'm happy and proud to have found such a friend in you 💕

whatsupbugs @steph86 Thank you. I appreciate the kind comment. @yorkshire_rose Thank you. I greatly appreciate the heartfelt inspiration. 💕

zanhar1 I don't get on fanpop as much these days, but I'm really glad that you find comfort on this site. Things can get pretty rough and this site and the people on it actually did do a lot for me when I was feeling down. Which is why I have to stop in every now and again. I hope that you are doing well and have a lovely night!

whatsupbugs @zanhar1 Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtful support.

PrueFever Beautiful written article, whatsupbugs! :D And thank you for all your kind messages on my wall :D They don't go unnoticed! :D You also make Fanpop a great place to be :D

Rubyrings I think that's a wonderful goal, to spread positivity. And to focus on the people who have it! I don't think the Internet, or any place on it, can be inherently good or bad. It's all in how you use it and who you happen to find. Some people, I think, forget that there's a real, living person on the other end of the screen, and so they act like they're trying to shut down some disembodied words they disagree with. But you can also find good everywhere, and I think it's lovely that you've decided to find it, spread it, and focus on it.

whatsupbugs @99148770 I'm glad that you like it. @PrueFever I'm happy that you like the messages I write on your wall. @Rubyrings I greatly appreciate your thoughtful response.

remy_46 You make this place much better, I always appreciate your caring and effort. Hope you'll feel good here with us in the future as well.

whatsupbugs @OakTown_Queen Thank you for everything.

JadePearlSky I also had Youtube accounts where I had friends but I didn't want to have them in private. I was not interested in finding out more about the friends either.Afterwards i had caught a chronic illness, due to which i now have a disability. I still have friends but some of my friends have left.

whatsupbugs @JadePearlSky I wish you the very best with everything.

daydreamer505 You're everyone's friend and we all like you a lot. You're my best friend on this site and you always find a way to cheer me up. Even when I'm down, you make me feel better just by being yourself. You bring sunshine to this site with your kindness. You're an inspiration to us all. You send such strong positive vibes all over the place. You make this site a much better place for everyone. This site wouldn't be the same without you. You're always kind and nice to me and to everybody else on this site. You're the main reason I keep coming back to this site, you know. You're a great friend and I'm happy to know you. I feel lucky having you for my best friend here, on Fanpop.

whatsupbugs @daydreamer505 I'm deeply touched by your beautiful thoughtfulness.

afewseconds Wubs, you've really been a real sunrise here. The amount of positivity you go about sharing here is amazing, and I'm happy to be able to refer to you as a friend. Thanks for all that you do!

whatsupbugs @afewseconds It's my pleasure. Thank you for the wonderful comment.

The Flash Film Review

For years, there has been talk of the Flash getting his own film. After years of different ideas and significant delays, the Flash has finally gotten a film. The film is also notable for having Michael Keaton play Batman for the first time in thirty years.

When Barry Allen was a kid, his mother was murdered. His father was falsely accused of the murder, so the father was arrested. As an adult, Barry has become the Flash. He has the ability to run so fast that he can run back in time. He wants to go to the past, so he can prevent his mother's death. Barry manages to do this, but in the process,...

Jack Kirby: One of the Most Prolific Creators of All Time

posted by whatsupbugs

When it comes to the people who created the Marvel Comics characters, one person constantly gets mentioned. That person is Stan Lee. Thanks to Stan Lee's decades of interviews and high number of appearances in some of the most successful superhero films of all time, it's easy for people to associate Stan Lee with every Marvel creation that there's ever been. However, Stan Lee is not the only Marvel creator that deserves attention, respect and admiration. There's a person who arguably created even more Marvel characters than Stan Lee in addition to creating some characters for DC Comics. That...

Fame vs. Integrity: The Conflict Between Batman's Creators

posted by whatsupbugs

In 1939, one of the greatest fictional heroes of all time was created. His name was Batman. Batman started appearing in Detective Comics before getting his own comics series. In these comics, only one man's name was listed. That man was Bob Kane.

For the longest time, it seemed like Bob Kane could go no wrong. Creating so many legendary heroes and villains as well as writing and drawing an entire series of legendary comics sounds like quite the challenge for just one man. However, Bob Kane was the one and only person credited, so it seemed like he had done everything by himself. However, this...

My History With My Little Pony

posted by whatsupbugs

My Little Pony is a franchise that consists of shows, movies and specials. It wasn't a franchise that I ever expected to become a fan of, but I ended up actually becoming a big fan of it.

Before seeing My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic:

In the early 2010s, I constantly saw people online talking about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I was surprised that so many people were so invested in the show. I was under the assumption that the show would be very boring and bland. Because of that, I failed to understand why people of various ages were becoming such big fans of the show. For years,...

My History With Masters of the Universe

posted by whatsupbugs

Masters of the Universe is a franchise that consists of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and She-Ra: Princess of Power. It's a franchise that I grew up liking as a kid but grew to like even more as an adult.

Growing up with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe:

Some He-Man fans grew up watching the original He-Man cartoon from the 1980s, while other He-Man fans grew up watching the reboot from the early 2000s. I actually grew up watching both He-Man cartoons. I was able to enjoy both shows and appreciate both of them as good action shows.

I grew up liking He-Man, but for me, the main appeal...

My History With Tamayura

posted by whatsupbugs

Tamayura is an obscure anime that has left a huge impact on me. I know that calling a series life-changing might sound pretentious, but Tamayura really has changed my life for the better.

Discovering Tamayura:

When I was looking for new animes to become a fan of, I stumbled upon Tamayura. I saw a picture of the four main characters embracing and was instantly charmed, so I gave Tamayura a chance. When I first started watching Tamayura, it felt a little slow. At first, it just seemed like a group of friends talking about photography. However, I quickly realized that there was so much more to Tamayura....

My History With Blue's Clues

posted by whatsupbugs

Blue's Clues is a franchise that started in 1996. The franchise was something that I grew up with, so I'd like to share my history with the franchise.

Watching the original series as a little kid:

Blue's Clues was a show that I watched when I was so young that I didn't understand a lot of what was going on. I mostly just remembered that Steve was a guy with a very distinct shirt that was green stripped. I remember him and Blue interacting with talking objects, including Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Slippery Soap. Seeing a show with talking objects was such a strange, unique thing that helped Blue's...

My History With Batman

posted by whatsupbugs

Batman is one of the franchises that I've had the longest history with. I've spent lots of time with superhero franchises, but the time that I've spent with Batman is on a whole other level.

Fan from the beginning of life:

The earliest memory that I have is watching a Batman cartoon on the TV. I was already fascinated by Batman before learning a majority of basic life skills.

A kid's first collection:

The earliest things that I can remember collecting are related to Batman. Ever since I was a little kid, I was getting some of the coolest Batman toys in addition to getting various Batman VHS tapes...

My History With Frozen

posted by whatsupbugs

Frozen is a 2013 animated film. First off, happy 10th anniversary to Frozen. Second off, I'd like to share some information about my history with Frozen.

Expectations before seeing the film:

In hindsight, this is hard to imagine, but when Frozen was coming out, I wasn't very excited. I had gone through a time where Disney's animated films weren't appealing to me, so I was afraid that Frozen wouldn't be a film that I would like. I thought there was a small chance that the film might be kind of interesting, because of Elsa and her ice powers. However, my expectations for the film were quite low....

Obscure Batman Villains That I Want A Toy Of

posted by whatsupbugs

Over the years, there have been so many great Batman toys. They have made a countless number of Batman toys. Batman's sidekicks and enemies have also gotten a large number of toys. They've even started making toys of some of the lesser-known villains. I'm impressed by the wonderful variety of figures. However, there are still some characters that I like that have yet to get a toy.

Professor Bubbles was the main antagonist of an episode from 1977's The New Adventures of Batman. He's a personal favorite of mine for his over-the-top personality, voice and design.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Trivia Guide (2018 Reboot)

posted by whatsupbugs

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power was a 2018 reboot of 1985's She-Ra: Princess of Power. The reboot was incredibly popular. It has led to the She-Ra franchise gaining lots of new fans.

Adora (She-Ra) was known for being the sister of Adam (He-Man) in the original series. However, He-Man isn't seen or even mentioned in this series. The show never reveals who Adora's birth parents were, so it's unknown if she even had a sibling.

In the original series, Hordak was Skeletor's original boss. However, Skeletor didn't appear in the reboot, so it remains unknown if the reboot's version of Hordak ever...

After several years of waiting, the sequel finally came out.

The Little Mermaid (2023 Remake) Film Review

posted by whatsupbugs

The Little Mermaid is a 2023 live-action film that's a remake of 1989's Little Mermaid animated film. Live-action Disney remakes have gotten a lot of mixed reception. They tend to make lots of money, but they also tend to get mixed reviews. When it comes to the remakes, I've enjoyed a fair number of them. I didn't care for some of them, such as Aladdin, Lady and The Tramp and Mulan. However, there have been some remakes that I enjoyed, such as Cinderella, Dumbo and both Maleficent films. Also, the live-action Disney Alice in Wonderland films are two of my favorite films.

Masters of the Universe is a great franchise that includes the adventures of He-Man and She-Ra. The He-Man and She-Ra shows are packed with characters that have cool gimmicks, memorable designs and lots of other unique attributes. This has led to He-Man and She-Ra having some of the best toys of all time and some of the most entertaining cartoons of all time. This article is made to highlight my favorite characters from both He-Man and She-Ra. Characters that appeared in 2018's She-Ra reboot will be included, because that show introduced new characters to the franchise in addition to giving...

Steven Burns - The Adam West of The 1990s

posted by whatsupbugs

Comparing the first television Batman to the original host of Blue's Clues might sound like a strange comparison, but I believe that Adam West and Steven Burns actually have a lot in common.

In 1966, Adam West made Batman a heroic role-model and symbol of hope for television viewers. Adam West struck the perfect balance between genuine heart and campy absurdity. In addition to being the funniest Batman, he was also the most likable and sweet. After starring as Batman in three seasons of television and one theatrical movie, Adam West struggled to get work. However, he meant so much to the people...

Superman: Brainiac Attacks Movie Review

posted by whatsupbugs

In my previous article, I mentioned how I got the film Superman: Brainiac Attacks on the same day that I saw Superman Returns with my grandfather. Since that film is connected to that important day, I felt like reviewing the film.

Superman: Brainiac Attacks was released in 2006, the same year as Superman Returns. It is considered to be the first feature-length Superman animated film. Some episodes of Superman: The Animated Series were combined into movies, but Brainiac Attacks is the first true Superman animated film.

The plot of the film revolves around a team-up between Lex Luthor and Brainiac....
