How i wish they can recast Mads Mikelson as Doom. Take a look on how Galactus and Silver Surfer turned into a 2 dimensional cardboard in FF. Rather than swallowing Baby Franklin right on the spot, this ancient giant earth devourer turn away to find a nice spot to enjoy his meal.  Iron Man's symbolic sacrifice and death now turned secondary. Marvel need to find a suitable versatile villain who can cross time and space, Krang failed majestically. A mis-cast.  They need RDJ to save all of them back. I dont think they will introduce The Beyonder as they need so much time to explain 5W and 1H. To save time, they put all their money back to RDJ. With Loki started out as a villain into a lovable anti-hero, Marvel is having a huge headache casting the right person to deal with their heroes. Casting Josh Brolin as Thanos is a smart move and yes he didnt dissapoint as they need to kill him twice.  By far, Guardians of the Galaxy have pretty unique antagonists esp the brilliant The ...

  1. One of the major Cold War conflict in the Africa region. 2. Congo got its independance from Belgium, but one of the province called Katanga declared independance. 3. Katanga is one of the richest region as it produced minerals such as uranium and cobalt. Belgium investors supported the rebellion by deploying private contractors as they dont want their interest to fall into Congo. 4. Patrice Lumumba asked for international help. 5. UN launched UN OPS Congo with Malaysia troops coming in to remove the Belgian troops, restore order and preserve Congo's territorial integrity.  6. As usual my late dad didnt tell his missions as he kept his medals in his drawers until i have to dig it.  7. Best of all he went to Sarawak for the Indonesian confrontation in 1963-1966. Goodness.

While the world now entertaining streaming, ChatGPT, Grok, self landing rockets, Robo Taxi, thinking of populating Mars, here we have former prisoners talking the same issues since 1969, brontosaurus pulled in to help in campaign election, worst coming in as candidates. Hundreds of universities built yet driven by derelict useless degree programmes, stale economies in which all basic services are monopolized and manipulated upon.  Kindly dont blame the Gen Z for being a baby, they are babies forced to fit into an expired system designed by Baby Boomers.  Change is required.
