Harley Quinn - the cartoon

Hello dears (or deer, whatever you prefer)! So, as we have Saint Nicholas Day and the holiday's season can be considered as open, I've chosen to write about a cartoon, Harley Quinn from 2019, which is rather a gift for adults who still enjoy comics and superhero movies / animations. I find this animated TV series the best what has happened to DC since Batman's trilogy created by Christopher Nolan.

There are many reasons why this cartoon is sooo good. But first of all, voice actors made an incredible job by bringing the animated characters to life. Among them are Lake Bell who dubbed Poison Ivy, one of the most iconic characters on the show and Alan Tudyk, who (in my opinion) impersonated Joker even better than Mark Hamill who is widely known to dub Joker in several animations.

Moreover, the show is so well written, which isn't that common nowadays. It presents Harley Quinn's life after she separated ways with Joker and her attempt of being an independent woman who wants to join the Legion of Doom, a criminal organization for all the villains who teamed up together and created a group of lawbreakers. Besides of the main goal of our heroine, the series is quite a complex study of human psychology in adult life and how the society, childhood and abusive relationship can influence one's life and future career. Screenwriters made use of a fact that Harley Quinn is a character with PhD in psychology and developed her ability to help the others and what's more important herself, as she was unbelievably damaged because of her relationship with Joker. Lastly, a huge plus of this animation is a gore and it is filled with an adult language with multiple allusions which helps the cartoon to be authentic and relatable. The plot is extremely enjoyable and adventures of Harley Quinn and her friends, or even frenemies seem to be delightful to watch. Here's a quick add of the animated series:

Sleep Paralysis

Today I've wanted to take a closer look at sleep paralysis and all the questions connected to this subject. Unfortunately, this isn't something new for me as I was exposed to this sort of occurrence many times before. From my own experience, I can say that this is a living nightmare. I'm able to fall asleep, but then suddenly I'm starting to feel conscious, and I can have my eyes opened, but then I'm still half asleep, so I don't have any control over my mind. Even though my mind is awake, my body is still paralysed. I couldn't distinguish all the phenomena before, but it seems that I passed all three stages of sleep paralysis. One of them is called "incubus" - but the definition is quite different from what usually is associated with "the incubus" known as an evil spirit. During this kind of paralysis, I witness a feeling of suffocation, experienced by the unknown energy. The second stage can be known as "the intruder", this o...

For All Mankind

"For All Mankind" was definitely the best series that I watched last year and there were plenty of those due to a horrible global phenomenon that rhymes with "academic". This is an alternative history of a space race between the Soviet Union and the USA that happens through the years, starting in the 60s. The story begins with a piece of exciting news that the Russians landed on the moon before the Americans. And of top of that one of the astronauts was a female. We can witness not only a breathtaking cosmic adventure, enriched with a marvellous soundtrack (Jimmy Ruffin, David Bowie) but also stories of struggles of NASA members and their respective families. It was also interesting to see a portrayal of feminism in these years. Unfortunately, the series isn't broadly commented, and it deserves so much more recognition, because the creators really paid attention to details. The show itself was created by Ronald D. Moor, who is known for writing scenarios for suc...

If You Have Ghosts (You Have Everything)

That's a title of the song originally written and performed by Roky Erickson. But I'd like to focus on the band who covered it and its performance became even more famous. And of top of that it's called Ghost. According to Wikipedia, the one and only credible source, the band was formed in 2008 in Sweden and includes 7 (holy number) nameless ghouls who are responsible for all the instrumental part during live shows. Moreover, they change their costumes and masks every album they release. The same rules apply to the leader of the group - Tobias Forge who happened to have 5 incarnations meanwhile. He has performed as Papa Emeritus, Papa Emeritus II, Papa Emeritus III, Cardinal Copia and recently as Papa Emeritus IV. A revealing of the new persona usually comes with strong emotions among fans. I had a chance to participate in Ghost's concert last year for the very first time and witnessed the incarnation of Cardinal Copia, which was an amazing experience. The choice of t...
