Jason's Gallery - Three's a Crowd, Thy Name is Mai Valentine!

Mai Valentine, the lovely Harpie Queen of Duel Monsters, showing her affection towards Anime Jason, much of the dismay of Jason's two fictional crushes, Supergirl and Karai, even though Mai is old enough to be his motherly figure. Awkward! 

 

Even though he has two favorite crushes in Supergirl and Karai, there was one woman that has grown affectionately towards Anime Jason, and that's our lovely Harpie Queen herself, Mai Valentine. As she presses her chest onto Jason, Mai shows her motherly side towards the intrepid animation crusader himself, much of dismay of Kara and Miwa. So the way I see, if Kara is Betty and Miwa is Veronica, I guess that makes Mai Cheryl Blossom. Talk about being awkward.

Mai: "Oh, Jason! You are such a cute, little boy! I want to hug you for all time, you sweet, sensitive little man!"

(Supergirl gets furious while Karai hisses out of jealousy)

The Brave Lion and the Snake Lady - RIP Dan Hennessey and Morgan Lofting

This just in.

And there is not much about them in their wiki pages, but I will bring it to you, the passing of two of our childhood favorites in voice acting, Dan Hennessey and Morgan Lofting.

Dan Hennessy passed away on November 13th, 2024, he was 82 years old. Hennessy voiced such characters as Genghis Rex from Dinosaucers, Father Bear from Little Bear, Chief Quimby from Inspector Gadget (the first season, anyway), Zed and Tackleberry from Police Academy: The Series, Turbo Tu-Tone from C.O.P.S., Alex Murphy/RoboCop from the RoboCop animated series, Roy "Bully" Koopa from both The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and The New Super Mario World, Ruckus from the 90s X-Men cartoon, and his most favorite of them all, Brave Heart Lion from Care Bears. In addition of being a voice actor, he was also the voice director for such shows like Rescue Heroes, Saint Seiya, Ultraforce, Monster Force, and the aforementioned 90s X-Men cartoon. He died due to complications from Parkinson's Disease. And now, from one voice from our childhood to the next...

Morgan Lofting died on November 27th, 2024, she was 84 years old. With that distinct voice, Lofting was multi-talented either with an Eastern European accent or not. The character voices include, Aunt May and Black Cat from the 80s Spider-Man cartoon (the one before Amazing Friends), Moonracer and Firestar (the female Autobot, not Angelica Jones) from one episode of Transformers, Fistina and Yetta from Ben 10, and my most favorite character she voiced, The Baroness from G.I. Joe. I will never think of anyone else to voice this femme fatale but her, especially with the accent, darling. No word on how she died, but her passing was so sudden. Got the news from Michael Bell himself through Facebook.

For what is worth, these two voice actors are another example why we need to raise awareness on how voice actors are more relevant and important than all the regular actors combined. As long as we remember them, they will never truly be gone. Thank you for making my childhood worthwhile. Whether bellowing out COBRA!! or roaring like a lion, I will never forget the innocent times back in the 80s and beyond. Godspeed, both of you. Be at peace, to the bravest of the Care Bear Cousins and the seductive femme fatale in glasses and leather.

My Mega Man OC, that I felt like sharing.

 

 

Jason's Gallery - Ariel as EVA!

 

Deep in the darkest forest, a mysterious woman, with a mysterious past, roams around the forest, awaiting her contact, as she tries to prevent an global disaster. Whether she's friend or foe, one thing is for sure, no spy can resist her feminine wiles.

My fanart of Ariel, cosplaying as the sexy super spy, EVA, from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and its update, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The reason for this drawing is a response to a great big mystery, who is Suzetta Minet, the voice of EVA. For 20 years, no one knows who was this Suzetta Minet, the lovely, seductive voice of EVA. Not even the internet couldn't give us the info we need, as if she didn't exist, almost like a ghost. Her true identity was as mysterious as the character herself. Fast forward to 20 years later, and after all these years, and with the upcoming release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the identity of the voice behind EVA has been revealed. EVA is officially voiced by, get this, Jodi Benson. That's right, folks, the heart and soul of Ariel the Little Mermaid voiced our lovely super spy. But this isn't the first time she voiced serious characters aside from kid-friendly characters like Ariel and Barbie, for she voiced Tula from The Pirates of Dark Water and Aquagirl from Batman Beyond respectively. The writing was on the wall. I should've guess it before. But, she had good reason not to use her name and use her Suzetta Minet pseudonym, fearing that voicing EVA would tarnish her good name, especially being a Disney Legend among other things. But, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Voicing other characters besides Ariel, especially a super spy as sexiful as EVA, are truly awesome. But as long as God is watching over you, and a large group of fans still cheering you, you are never ashamed. Keep on voicing, sweet Jodi. Whether it's a mermaid or a spy, your talent is truly limitless.

The Life of a Musical Genius - RIP Quincy Jones

This just in.

Legendary music producer and composer, Quincy Jones has died on November 3rd, 2024. He was 91 years old. 

Q, as some of his close personal friends call him, was the man responsible some of the talents we got today in the world of music, such as Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin and collaborated with Michael Jackson with the soundtracks Off the Wall and especially Thriller. In 1985, his greatest Magnum Opus was the song, We are The World, which had a who's who of famed music stars like Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, Huey Lewis, Paul Simon, Ray Charles and the aforementioned Michael Jackson to name a few, and  was used to raise money for the victims of famine in Ethiopia. The song itself has since become a rallying cry to those who suffering from a natural disaster and willing to help. The perfect song to show our humanity, and that's saying something.

And it was not just with music alone, he also got involved in other media. At the same time he helped MJ with Off The Wall, he did the soundtrack for the movie adaptation of the musical, The Wiz (which is the 70s version of The Wizard of Oz) Later in 1990, through his company, Quincy Jones Entertainment (thanks in part of his deal with both Warner Bros. and NBC), he gave us The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which helped Will Smith jumpstart his movie career thereafter. He also made a cameo appearance in the movie Austin Powers in Goldmember.

With 80 Grammy nominations and 28 Grammys, and so many honors, including those for charity and so forth, Quincy Jones truly lived up to being a musical genius. There wouldn't be Thriller, Fresh Prince and We are The World, if it wasn't for him. Godspeed, Q. Thanks for all the musical memories and then some. Be at peace.
