Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 

Before Watching

First these are my predictions and initial thoughts before watching the movie. This movie has had a lot of rumors and leaks for a long time now. Much like Spider-Man: No Way Home, this movie is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Many things are expected from this movie and as the title reveals, the Multiverse will play an important part of the plot. Spider-Man: No Way Home played with the Multiverse idea the the movie was focus for the Spider-Man character. It worked as both as a conclusion of the Spider-Man Trilogy and the reveal of what's next for Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But the Doctor Strange movie, feel focus morenon the whole Marvel characters. It could open a world of possibilities for introducing new characters, stories and even chnage or evolve some ofnthe current stories in Marvel. Even do it will be heavily focus on Doctor Strange and Wanda I believe this movie will reveal alot of what is coming for the MCU.

Now about rumors. We heard and seen so much already that is hard to keep track of them. Also, at this point it's also hard to tell what will actually happen and what is just a rumor. Because if we listen to the rumors then ProfessorX, Wolverine, Deadpool, Superior IronMan, BlackBolt, BlackPanther, Photon, Fantastic4, Spider-Man, Vision etc are confirmed. That's definitely practically impossible. There're also rumors/leaks of characters from the Marvel ABC TvShow series and even series from other channels that could make an appearance. I believe the more realistic rumors could be the X-Men. They need to be predented at some point and this will be a nice place to introduced them.

We will see how Marvel prepared this project.

After Watching (May 6)

Ok, finally saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Overall it was Great. I feel this was more of a complete movie than Spider-Man: No Way Home. It had a more focused plot and sense of what they were trying to achieve. But unlike the Spider-Man movie this had less surprises. I think what you expected or thought was hoping to happen did actually happen in this movie. But this movie did have cameos rather than giving important keyroles to certain characters. It was great but it felt it missed something. For one, the title was maybe too much, it lead to many speculations of what will happen. I'm not sure if the movie was rushed or had many deleted scenes but I think there were some moments were they could have stop and elaborate on the story. I believe it needed a little bit more. Maybe more elaboration on certain scenes and maybe more allies support. The horror theme was great, in fact there were times where I thought if this movie was R rated they could have made even more epic scenes. Even like this there were some scenes that look too graphic for Marvel but I think they were great. It was as if they went up to the limit, much like in some streaming series. They used as much matured content as they could. There were intense scenes yet they didn't crossed the line. Which for me it would have been ok, like I said an R rating could have given them more liberty. People should watch this as a normal Marvel movie. Not as an Avenger or No Way Home style. If you liked Dr. Strange 1 then you will love this one. 

Now the characters. Dr. Strange and Wanda characters were great or ok. We finally got to see more of both of them. Maybe Wanda character was very predictable and had many inconsistencies. What drived Wanda's character was a bit weak. While Dr. Strange had many key elements and evolution throughout the movie which was great. Now as an actor they were both amazing. Their expressions and physical appearance was amazing. They truly dedicated and gave it everything for this movie. Elizabeth looked stunning and her range of emotions were amazing. Same with Benedict his range of emotions and comedy were perfect. America Chavez was briefly explained, but enough for her first appearance  Also, they used plenty of characters from the ones everyone expected and some pleasant surprises. Yet, again I feel they could have had more. There were some moments were I thought other Characters from Marvel could have appeared, even as cameos and it would have been epic. I think they wasted that chance or maybe didn't wanted to overcrowd the movie. I believe it was a nice solid movie. Maybe the expectations were different. I believe this movie will have many mix reviews. Some will hate it others will loved it. Now here I concentrated on the bad things because the good things might be Spoilers. I will make another review after it releases on DVD/Stream for when people can buy it. For now I will say maybe the expectations were huge of a Multiversal movie. But again just watch it as another Marvel movie. The main attraction of this movie is the Horror theme and the deep connection to your emotions.

Now, I will give a 7.5 to sound realistic. I believe it had a more complete movie plot than Spider-Man No Way Home which I gave 8.0. But maybe it didn't have that impact that they teased a lot. But it was really good. Maybe I should have given the same 8.0 since their focus is different, but they are both great for different content. But I will keep it a 7.5 because I just feel it needed it a bit more. Just something extra.

Rating: 7.5

After Re-Watched on Digital Release (June22) (With SPOILERS)

Ok now I will give my review with spoilers since it already released on DisneyPlus. 

The start was great with intense action scenes. Right to the point. They didn't waste their time. Trying to get the Book of Vishante  in the Space Between Universe was visually pleasant. Then after the wedding they moved to fight in the city which I think was a bit unfortunate. They are in New York and No hero from the MCU could appear to help? At least as a quick cameo? The MCU is really growing and many are in New York or could get there fast. They missed that opportunity to add a guest hero. SpiderMan or Daredevil would have been great. Guess they didn't want to take away the spotlight for Dr. Strange and Wong but would have been nice. 

Now this is a quick side note because I really think Xochitl Gomez was great as America Chavez.

Bu the inclusion of Latin actors has always been unexpected. Most of the time when they portray a Mexican character they used actors from Honduras, El Salvador etc. Or even Latin characters end up with a weak Spanish accent. Even do they speak good Spanish, it is still sometimes hard to understand for us Native Spanish-speaking. Sometimes they even use American actors that know Spanish but doesn't sound native. But here I believe the character is Mexican-American so it makes sense. Also, again I repeat Xochitl Gomez did a great job with her character. She was the perfect choice for this character she was fun to watch.

Then it is interesting of the connection with Dr. Strange and Spider-Man. Dr Strange mentioned Spider-Man meaning he could called him anytime. He did forgot Peter Parker but not Spider-Man. So how did their fights together happened? Did they still happened the same just without taking him taking off his mask? Or Steven knows he exist but haven't actually reach out for him? 

Also, interesting how the original Wanda from the MCU is the one that went crazy and evil. Why not just an alternate Wanda and let the original learn from those mistakes to save the day? Still seems she still redeem herself and most probably will return. I didn't really like her character on this movie. They still portray her as spoiled child who does whatever she wants and gets angry when they try to stop her. Amd her phrases were just cringy and foolish. But that was the character, Elizabeth Olsen did amazing. The intensity, suffering, her emotions everything physically and her acting was amazing. The acting from Elizabeth Olsen and BenedictCumberbatch was amazing. The intensity and suffering of each was great. The revelations, sacrifices, feelings, and depth Benedict Cumberbatch brought to his character was top stuff.

Moving to the scene when protecting the Temple. That was another perfect chance to add a cameo of another hero, especially ShangChi would have been nice. But anyone from even reintroduce IronFist.

The jumping of the universes was nice. There were probably many Easter Eggs there I missed. I believe I saw Noir Spider-Man even Spider-Man 2099 universe. 

The whole LGTB representation of America Chavez I didn't understood. People claim America Chavez was Lesbian but they never said it or insinuated at all throughout the movie. I think the Producers might have reveal it. But it was never shown on the movie. Some fans said because she had an LGTB pin or she had to mothers. But so? Just because you support LGTB doesnt makes you gay. Or just because you have same gender parents forcibly you will be gay. Well just didn't understood how people assure it.

Maybe many wanted her to be and now probably Marvel will make her to support inclusion. Still if they did it was done great because it felt natural. They didn't force it to us or present it with a huge Spotlight on her like other money grabbing studios do.

Now the cameos were a great choice but the problem was that, they were just quick cameos. Unlike No Way Home they just briefly appeared and weren't given much importance to the plot.

Identifying the MCU as universe 616 was interesting. They gave the other universe 838. Even do it wasn't really the future based on their villains but it did looked more futuristic. I wonder if the MCU will officially now be the 616 universe or just here because universe 838 name them like that.

Mentioning the Baxter Foundation was a great tease for the Fantastic4. Also, the mention of the Avengers, Shield, Hydra, Illuminati was a nice review of these groups throughout the history of the MCU.

Then on the confrontation between ScarlettWitch and Wong they missed another opportunity to add ShangChi. He could have really help out Wong on that situation. From the Temple and from the mountain.

Also, why was 616 Wanda way stronger than the 838 Wanda? Maybe 838 Wanda wasn't a fighter at all? Or the Book made 616 Wanda Stronger? Doesn't make much sense since Wanda from the MCU never actually control her powers until WandaVision show. Never even tried to train or control them.

Adding CaptainCarter, BlackBolt, CaptainMarvel, ReedRichards and ProfessorX with the 1997 theme from X-Men animated series was great. I was surprised to hear the actual name Illuminati. I thought Disney would decide to avoid it for the sensible people out there that could have made a big deal out of it. But great they added and so for no one made a big deal about the name. Then what happen to them later was horrible and very rushed. They were supposed to handle bigger threats and they confront this Wanda with a very poor battle strategy. They lost without even trying.

The Illuminati fight was ridiculous and disappointing. They all die in less than 5 minutes. Except ProfessorX which died later also pretty simple. The phrases were very poorly written. Most of Wanda phrases and also the Illuminati phrases were pretty dull or even cringy.

 The Smartest man alive revealing the plan to their enemy. Or "I have children too". Leading to the "What Mouth?  Phrase. Then the "I could do this all day" by Capitan Carter but she Gets slice in half with her own shield a few seconds later.  How CaptainMarvel has said before "We can handle your little Witch." But die by a statue. Just proved that a more experienced CaptainMarvel could easily beat Wanda. Well any experience hero because here no one really put on a real fight. Maybe CaptainCarter even do she was human did more than the rest. Even ProfessorX one of the most powerful mutants. Couldn't stop a Wanda that was dreamwalking. ScarletWitch had a mental conenection to the Wanda of that world and ProfessorX couldn't handle her mind? I feel they failed there too.

 Now, I heard there were many changes to the movies. Things from here were supposed to happen on NoWayHome but they changed them there and added those things to this movie. America Chavez was supposed to be introduced in NoWayHome instead of the other Spidermen. So probably a lot was cut off from Multiverse of Madness. The musical fight between the two Dr Strange was fun and look visually great. The inclusion of a Zombie Dr. Strange was also a treat to the fans and was a good one. And again Wanda phrases  "Dreamwalking you hypocrite." Was again unnecessary. Dr. Strange didn't had a personal reason but a way to stop her who was trying to killed America Chavez and had killed a lot of heroes already. 

Again the logic of "You break the rules and become the hero, I do it and I become the enemy" was pretty stupid. Dr. Strange breaking the rules of the Multiverse to save half of the universe and the Avengers to save people. While Wanda broke the rules for her selfishness and create kids just for herself. There is a huge difference yet many stick to that phrase without stopping to think about it.

Dr Strange helping America control her powers was great. She needed the confidence and he gave it to her. The whole movie felt like a journey to guide her. But Wanda beating the Wanda from 838 so easily, again didn't looked good. Not even to protect her children did the 838 Wanda got up to fight back. They should have added a short battle between both Wandas. Also its obvious Wanda didn't died when she "destroyed the darkhold in every universe. It seem so vague ans simple after everything she did. She will probably survive and stay in the good side this time. The last scene when the third eye open for Dr Strange will be interesting for future movies. He will probably be able to control it to hide it. Also, adding Clea with Charlize Theron was an amazing choice. She is a great actress and Clea was needed for Dr. Strange story.

The horror scenes were good. Like Wanda crawling out of the mirror like the exorcist. Killing ProfessorX suddenly by breaking his neck from behind. Pursuing Dr. Strange in the tunnels. That tension and suffering from Wanda following to stop them was great. Even the Zombie Dr Strange and the souls of the damned were set in a great horror theme.

Now not sure how Marvel will proceed from here. I don't really see them recycling or reusing Actors who already played a Marvel character. They didn't do it with MichaelBJordan for BlackPanther. So probably this was just a Homage for HayleyAtwell who did amazing on her show AgentPeggyCarter. Also, for AnsonMount for his good performance in the Inhumans show. Also, LashanaLynch for her short role in CaptainMarvel and was well received by fans. Also, John Krasinski for the constant rumors and support by fans to be ReedRichards. Same for PatrickStewart for the many years of being ProfessorX. We could almost guess HughJackman was probably a choice for Wolverine but probably refuse since it would had died ridiculously. Most likely when X-Men, Inhumans and the rest get reintroduced it will be by new actors.

Overall the movie was pretty good. Definitely enjoyed it more the second time I watched it. Even do it had many things I didn't liked there were great moments too. Unlike NoWayHome this movie did had a solid script and linear plot. Spider-Man was like an Avengers or CivilWar movie were the impact was the crossover of heroes and villains. While Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a proper sequel to Dr. Strange 1. There had been mixed reviews about this movie. So just watch it as that a sequel to Dr. Strange. It was great and revealed more stuff about the Multiverse. Probably the next big Marvel movie will be between GuardianOfTheGalaxy or Antman. My rating will change from 7.5 to 8.0. It was a nice solid movie. Great visual effects and emotional moments. Had enough details treats for fans and showed us more about Dr. Strange world and the Multiverse. Part of the reason I scored it lower was because we had great expectations after NoWayHome. The title rumors and leaks also suggested so much more was supposed to happen. But now that I saw it again, I had a clearer perspective. Even do I still catch on the same things I didn't like at first. Some events felt silly. A lot of reasons or what drive certain characters was weak. It could had definitely been better but was ok. Definitely recommend it.

Rating: 8.0

My Honest Review on "The Batman" 2022 movie.

The Batman

*(This Review contains SPOILERS)*

---First of all I will state my doubts before seeing the movie. From what I seen on trailers, heard of the script and fan reactions.

The main things that stand up are the actors, plot and Film duration. Don't really trust the actors chosen for Batman, Gordon, Catwoman, Pinguin and Riddler. But I heard great things about the Colin Farrell as the Pinguin and about Robert Pattinson as the Batman. Now there's the possibility that some important Batman origins and plots were changed. Also, the methods or ways that drive Batman might not be accurate or at least good enough. Finally,  the costume, specifically the Cowl/Mask design looks pretty bad. The more I see it the less I like it. Can't really take Batman seriously when je looks like that.---

Now that I seen the movie I can give my honest opinion. The first thing is to clarify once and for all what I already knew before watching it. This movie is definitely NOT A MASTERPIECE. Not in any sense, nor in Plot, Script, Dialogue, Editing, Acting, Soundtrack etc. It had many significant flaws. BUT also I was wrong, it wasn't as bad as I expected. It was a Good, descent movie with a lot of potential to improve even more. I will give my rating at the end but now I will get into the details.

The start of the movie seem ok. It had that atmosphere and dark tone to the city. The camera shots, suspense and mysterious tone was great. Then we heard Batman narrating his own story. That might give it more emphasis to what he relates but I believe that, in a live action film, just feels weird. At least I believe it wasn't needed it. Not to mention the voice. Doesn't sound that serious it actually sounds sad or tired. But maybe it was because of the character development or the current mood but I feel it had to sound more serious or intimidating. Still for the narrative part it could fit the moment but not for other scenes. Especially when interacting with criminals or threats. The voice needed another tone to differentiate from Narrating, Talking and Fighting but it sounded the same. Now the mask or Cowl. Not only the face opening too much but the tightness in the head and the small thin horns looked ridiculous almost like the Atomic Ant. But as the movie progress you do start to get used to it. It is even acceptable at least when standing and talking but not during combat. During combat the Cowl distracts a lot from the moment. Also, the eye shadow was unnecessary but ok, every Batman used it. But not during the movie. They didn't acknowledge that they used it. It was something for behind the scenes that added extra effects on the scenes. There was really no need to show him applying make up or using mess up eye shadow when he is not on costume.

Now the characters, locations,  and references are pretty good. They use Iceberg Lounge, Gotham Square Garden, Police Station, Streets, Dinner, Train,  among other comic accurate places. Then there is the Penguin. I heard so much about how good Colin Farrell did as the Penguin. But honestly there wasn't much to said about the Penguin. He was more of a side character. Probably the greatest part of the Penguin was the "El Rata Alada" part. It was pretty funny. But there was a problem with the Penguin. The prosthetic makeup didn't looked too professional. It look like he had a cheap prosthetic mask on the face or was placed improperly. Moving on to Catwoman, I believe Zoe Kravitz did a great job as Catwoman. She had the personality and skills as the character demanded. Maybe at first she seem a bit nice but as the movie progress she was toughen up. Also, there was a comedy side between Batman and Catwoman. It's fun for Catwoman, it suits her character personality but not on Batman. Batman doesn't make jokes or try to be funny like that. Now that I seen some of Gordon,  Alfred, Riddler and Bruce I like it. Gordon is great. He was one of the actors I wasn't sure of it would suit the Gordon character. But he also did great. The though scenes and even the light comedy they gave him. Jeffrey Wright was another Actor that did his character great. Same with Alfred it was amazing, perfect for the character. Even do he didn't appear much Andy Serkis also did a great Alfred. Riddler was also great. Paul Dano did a great Riddler. Also, had some doubts about him. But didn't gave it much thought because I thought he was going to be a side character. But turns out he was one of the main vaillains. The mysteries, riddles, crazyness and planning was great. The other one Falcone was different. They gave Falcone a different presence and I believe they could have chosen another actor. I believe thebFalcone actor didn't fit the character. John Turturro did his part well but I feel they needed another type of actor to show more cruelty or more mob boss likeness. Bruce seemed ok, not much to see but good. Actually like Pattinson as Bruce Wayne. Still needs some improvements in both actor and character but it could improve in future films. Being this the first movie and judging its the beginning of Batman this has potential. Many things could improve or be fixed on a sequel.

The Thomas Wayne hidden agendas were interesting to explore. The possibility of pure corruption or necessity to defend his family. Plus the Martha Wayne's connection to Arkhan Asylum was a nice touch because some versions of Batman does show that.

The Gotham Square Garden scene with the flood and shootings looked nice. The tension built and the action was great. During the final fight scene the location, number of enemies and fights were very well made. But again a close range shotgun blast hurt him more than an even closer range explosion? And the need of drug to power him up when he was down? I understand this is an earlier Batman. So many of the mistakes or inconsistencies are justify by him being new to all the vigilante work. But then again as a 2 year vigilante he already has too many gadgets. In general, this movie started with a big hit and with a lot of potential to improve. Now if this is an earlier Batman a sequel or even a 3rd movie could learn from this movie to improve their small details. As a young Batman the sequel could take lot of different paths. They could bring another actor for a mature version of this Batman. Or keep Robert Pattinson but make sure he prepares more for the role. Physically and in studying more the character. Not just Batman and Bruce Wayne but anything related to Gotham City.

Finally, Im surprised. This was a massive production but it had small editing problems that should have been fixed. Also, some relaistic or logical stuff that wasn't credible. Some CGI, SFX, some logic from the scenes were confusing and inaccurate. The street scenes had some random soundtracks. Some did fit with the situation but others didn't. Some soundtrack didn't even enter on time for what was happening. Then the bomb scene was confusing. The bomb was placed on the cop head and Batman was just next to him with open Cowl and blast just push him with no serious damage? He was just unconscious for a few moments but it was a bomb. A bomb could do serious damage except it didn't did anything and he was right in front of him. But again a close range shotgun blast on the chest hurt him more than an even closer range explosion near the face and the whole body? That was interesting. Then need of a drug to power him up? That definitely wasn't needed. Gordon could have come to the rescue. Unless it might be use later for Scarecrow or other villains. Also, the gliding scene CGI was poorly done. When he open the gliding suit and glided down, the CGI looked pretty bad. They showed the "Batmobile" but was just an upgraded car but it's a nice start. Could be improved later. But that leads to the Concrete Cylinder? Not sure if it was made of Cement or maybe I was wrong and it was plastic. But Batman destroying a concrete cylinder with his Batmobile didn't looked good. The car would have been destroyed.  The "El Rata Alada"? That was very funny. Probably the funniest part of the whole film. Not sure if it was an actual film error or meant like that. But it didn't look good. Bad translation lead to a clue? Think it was on purpose because they acknowledged it in a scene but could have been handled differently. Still it was funny.

The Catwoman being related to Falcone wasn't necessary. They should have found another kind of connection. It felt too force just to find a justification to connect the plot. But don't know if that comes from some comic version or if it was just invented on spot. The last thing was the film duration. Two hours was just perfect leaving you with wanting more content. But when they gave us the 3rd hour it felt too much. Some things from the last hours were interesting and needed but not everything. The final jail conversation was indeed interesting leaving you wondering what will be their approach on that character. From the little they gave us,  sounded interesting but we will see.

Ok, thats the general and superficial aspects I noticed from the movie. Now overall I like most of the action scenes. They looked fluent and exciting. The movie shots were Great, lightning in the streets and scenes in darkness were nice. Most actors did Great with their characters and saw many pleasant surprises. The plot was great, I think they showed 1 main villain since the beginning and started to reveal another that was hidden and involved in everything. Movie does leave wanting to see were will they go from here. I think the sequel is confirmed so it should be better, that's the only way it will work. Overall I think it was a Good movie.

Rating: 7.0

Nuevo Técnico de Chivas?

Se vienen los rumores sobre Director Técnico de Guadalajara. Las opciones son Almeyda,  un DT importante, DT estricto, DT nuevo o DT con Experiencia o simplemente un DT bueno y ya.

Matias Almeyda Primero aparece Almeyda como opción separada. Esto porque sería la mejor opción en base de conocimiento del club, hizo campeon a Chivas y la Aficion lo aceptaría. Parece complicado que llegue,  pero su reciente salida de San Jose Earthquakes lo pone como la primera opción. Trabaja muy bien en las estrategias de fútbol y busca generar un buen ambiente entre el grupo. Pero no cambiará mucho el equipo si no recibe apoyo total de la directiva. Tanto en los jugadores, requerimientos y en lo administrativo.

Importante Otra opcion seria un Técnico importante o reconocido. Las opciones de Directores Técnicos importantes son menos porque son más difíciles de conseguir. Entre las opciones aparecen Marcelo Bielsa y Gabriel Heinze. Marcelo Bielsa considerado por muchos de los mejores Técnicos Latinos. Estuvo cerca de llegar a la Selección Nacional de México y fue opción fuerte antes que Gerardo Martino. Pero por desacuerdos no acepto la Selección. Dirigió en Mexico en los 90s para los clubes Atlas y America. Se podría decir que conoce bien el Fútbol Mexicano. Pero la verdad ya tiene tiempo de eso y el Futbol Mexicano y el jugador Mexicano a cambiado bastante.

La otra opcion importante es el Argentino Gabriel Heinze es una figura importante en el fútbol por su carrera como Jugador de Futbol. Pero lleva una carrera corta como Director Técnico. Aparte que su ultimo equipo fue Atlanta United en la MLS y no le fue nada bien. Llego el 18 de Diciembre 2020 y lo cesaron en Julio 18 del 2021.

Otra opcion que suena como importante es Hugo Sanchez. Suena como importante por su gran carrera como jugador pero no tan buena como DT. Hugo a dirigido a Pumas, Necaxa, Selección Mexicana, Mexico U23, Almeria, Pachuca. Como Técnico no a tenido la fortuna de triunfar pero busca esa oportunidad que lo haga trascender como DT.

Estricto

Bueno, como DTs estrictos resaltan los nombres de José Manuel "Chepo" De La Torre y Ricardo "Tuca" Ferreti. Buenos Técnicos con diferentes estilos pero ambos como DT an hecho Campeon al Guadalajara. Tuca en 1997 y Chepo en el 2006.

Jose Manuel De La Torre a tenido buenos y malos momentos en Chivas. Justo antes de Almeyda,  Chepo era el DT de Chivas. La declaración oficial fue que por malos resultados cesaron a Chepo pero lo sacaron de una manera controversial. Chivas ya había negociado y elegido a Almeyda cuando Chepo aun era DT y ni le habían avisado.

 Nuevo  La opción para Técnico nuevo tendría que ser alguien de poco experiencia como DT pero que sienta los colores del Guadalajara. Las opciones que más resaltan son Ramon Morales (Ramoncito) y Joel "Tiburon" Sanchez. 

El histórico Capitan Ramon Morales sería una gran opción como DT nuevo. Para arriesgarse con alguien. Líder y fuera de la cancha inicio como DT en el equipo Oro de Guadalajara. Luego se encargó de las fuerzas básicas del club Guadalajara. Su último equipo que manejo fue Coras de Tepic.

La otra opción es el Tiburon que también jugo en Chivas. Cuenta con más experiencia como DT. Inició como asistente en Puebla y luego Dorados de Sinaloa. Dirigió Instituto Once, Coras, Zacatepec, Mineros de Zacatecas, Leones Negros de UdeG, Venados, y Los Cabos. Es una opción muy pedida por parte de la afición.

Bueno 

Finalmente quedan las opciones de un DT bueno. Probado y calado en otros equipos con buenos resultados o con buen futuro. Entre las opciones sonaban Antonio Mohammed, Nicolas Larcamon, Jimmy Lozano, Diego Alonso, entee otros. Claramente Jimmy ya se fue a Necaxa y Diego a la Selección Uruguaya. Pero Chivas dejó pasar mucho tiempo y muchos de estos DT tomaron otro rumbo.

Mohamed acaba de llegar al club Brasileño, Atlético Mineiro y Larcamon sigue en Puebla con una cláusula de rescisión de 900 mil dólares! Opciones que parecen más alejadas.

Al parecer la primer opcion, Matias Almeyda, sigue siendo la opción más viable. Conoce el club, logro 5 Trofeos para el club. Campeon de CopaMx 2016 y CopaMx 2017, SuperCopaMx 2016, LigaMx Clausura 2017 y Concachampions 2018. Guadalajara no tiene DT y Almeyda acaba de dejar al San Jose Earthquakes de la MLS. Pero reitero deberá tener todo el apoyo de la directiva para preparar todo lo que necesite para lograr competir como se debe. En SanJoseEarthquakes apezar de tener un gran trato con la directiva y dueños, nunca se le apoyo con los refuerzos que necesitaba y no logró dar resultados positivos. Misma afición de SanJoseEarthquakes le reclama al dueño por su falta de interés de invertir en el Club. Si se puede cambiar a Ricardo Pelaez sería lo ideal ya que tampoco dio Nada de resultados. Almeyda necesitaría estar rodeado de gente sería y que vea por el bien del club no solo en lo económico si no también en lo deportivo.

Guadalajara, Debe Chivas buscar Vender o Nueva Asociación?

Es claro que el proyecto del club Guadalajara simplemente no funciona. Se necesitan fuertes cambios contundentes. Por más que Chivas gaste sigue siendo dinero propio. Malos manejos o malas inversiones les cuesta reponerse para una nueva inversión de esa magnitud. Así que si Amaury Vergara no quiere o no piensa en vender el equipo pero en verdad desea levantarlo de esta crisis pues necesita hacer cambios mayores. Sacar a Michel Leaño y Ricardo Peleaz es lo mínimo que puede hacer. Porque ni uno de sus proyectos funcionaron en lo absoluto. Pero el problema se debe atacar de raíz. Todo el ambiente deportivo anda mal en Guadalajara. Desde Jugadores, Preparadores físicos, Técnico, Directiva, Todo. Ahora necesito nuevos socios que inyecten capital al equipo de forma inteligente. Se necesita un proyecto serio y más dinero para traer lo necesario para un club tan grande como Chivas. Traer gente capacitada para manejar lo deportivo y económico a la par. Traer Refuerzos que realmente vengan a Reforzar el equipo. Miren lo que a pasado con Tigres y Monterrey. (Apezar que ambos bajaron de nivel) En general, por lo mínimo en los últimos 15 años an incrementado sus títulos y presencia en el fútbol. Monterrey con FEMSA y Tigres con CEMEX. Gracias a estas empresas que les an inyectado fuertes cantidades de millones al club. (Me parece FEMSA si es dueño de Monterrey y CEMEX socio de Tigres.) En si el Club no gasta su dinero como antes y mientras cumplan con los requisitos los millones siguen llegando. Ahora miren a Club América. Emilio Azcarraga Jean se le ocurrió invertir gran cantidad de millones de su empresa Televisa en su club de Fútbol. Suena bien, no? Logro varios títulos y por fin logro alcanzar a su rival Guadalajara y luego hasta lo paso con 1 titulo mas. Pues no esta bien, ya que es un tanto poco profesional en cuestión de negocios. No solo gasto millones de dólares si no se sumo una mala etapa de contenido en Televisa el cual los llevo a la quiebra. Televisa estuvo apunto de hundirse si no es porque Emilio Azcarraga Jean decidió ceder su lugar a los nuevos encargados Alfonso De Angoitia y Bernardo Gómez quienes lograron salvar e incluso llevar a Televisa a nuevos rumbos y mejores alianzas. Los temas de dueños y encargados es muy confuso porque Televisa trata de ocultar todo. Nunca hicieron oficial a los nuevos encargados. Pero ellos decidieron presentarse durante varios programas en vivo de Televisa para que los vieran los televidentes. Azcarraga paso a solo ser presidente administrativo de Televisa, encargado del Club America y Fundación Televisa. Pero aún así recientemente Univision cambió de dueños y decidió adquirir la mayoría de las acciones. Apezar que en Televisa aún lo anuncian como alianza. Los nuevos dueños son las empresas Searchlight y Forgelight y se quedaron con el 64% de acciones mientras Televisa se quedó con solo el 36%. Segun Televisa decidió mantener su participación de aproximadamente 36 por ciento del capital social de Univision sobre una base de dilución y conversión total. El acuerdo seguiría vigente durante 7.5 años al menos que Televisa venda una porción considerable de su participación. Así que como ven, no es tan fácil disponer del dinero sin razón. Ahora America lleva un buen tiempo sin traer Refuerzos pesados como antes. Y su posición en la Tabla también muestra su crisis. Al Atlas le paso igual, después años de mala administración pasaron por crisis eternas pero llegó Grupo Orlegi a salvarlos. (Aunque se olvidaron de su primer equipo Santos Laguna) Cruz Azul es complicado. Siempre a tenido un socio fuerte en lo económico pero a sufrido de años de mala administración e incluso de corrupción. Raro que la LigaMx, FMF o ni la FIFA se ponga a investigar seriamente. Cada año salen más involucrados en lavado de dinero y malos manejos. Apenas Abril 13, 2022 detenieron a Joaquin Velazquez por presunto lavado de dinero. Era auxiliar de Juan Reynoso. Asi pasa con muchos equipos se la Liga Mx, hoy en dia se necesita de un buen proyecto deportivo serio y una  fuerte inversion económica para competir. Ahi esta Puebla. Solo tiene el buen proyecto deportivo pero le falta lo económico. No se sabe hasta donde les alcanzará pero es claro que deben esforzarse mucho mas que los demas. Puebla inicio de maravilla pero últimamente a ido bajando su rendimiento. Tambien esta el caso de FC Juarez. Con dueños de mucho dinero y propietarios de varios equipos pero aun no tienen buen proyecto deportivo. (O quizas porque apenas lo iniciaron) Por eso lo más importante en este momento para Guadalajara es el proyecto Deportivo y la fuerte inversion. Se necesitan cubrir ambas rutas. Por lo pronto le queda sacar lo que no funciona e intentar competir con lo que se tiene. No tengo nada en contra de Amaury Vergara. Me parece a intentado hacer lo que esta a su alcance. Incluso trajo a Pelaez para que le ayudara en lo deportivo.  Pero se equivocó ya que Pelaez no a funcionada para nada. Se necesita un nuevo proyecto deportivo mucho mas serio. Así que si Amaury no cree poder lograrlo debería pensar en el bien del equipo y venderlo a alguien que si sepa como manejarlo. Pero si se siente capaz de revertir esta situación entonces se debe rodear de verdaderos conocedores de fútbol. Y no sólo eso, si no de gente que entienda al club y pelee por estos colores desde la directiva. Buscar gente profesional y experta en cada categoría del club y cada quien se dedique a lo suyo para que juntos logren regresarle la grandeza al Club Deportivo Guadalajara.

Guadalajara vs Monterrey 2022 - LigaMx - J12

Otra vergüenza por parte de Guadalajara. Nuevamente Guadalajara deja ir puntos ante este partido pendiente contra Monterrey. Un Monterrey que viene de malos resultados, con muchas bajas y su propuesta inicial era literalmente no jugar. Iniciaron el partido parados retrocediendo el balón. Pero ni siquiera pasearlo atrás constantemente. Si no, cada oportunidad que tenian se queda completamente parado con el balón. Aun así Chivas anoto primero via penal. Por un pisotón en el área sobre Chicote Calderón. Apezar que Chivas insistió más en el ataque simplemente no sabe concluir las jugadas y terminarlas en gol. Monterrey aprovecho errores y marca floja de Guadalajara para llevarse la victoria anotando 3 goles. El partido terminó con la derrota de Guadalajara de 1-3. Se coreo nuevamente el Fuera Leaño en el estadio. Apezar que confirmaron a Leaño hasta el final del torneo, esto dbeio ser una alerta que simplemente no funciona. Debieron sacarlo ese mismo dia o sacarlo en los dias que vienen. Además del Grito prohibido ya al finalizar del partido. Sonre el grito fue un manejado con poca profesionalidad por parte del árbitro central. El Grito se escucho más fuerte a eso del minuto 92. El árbitro en lugar de terminar con el partido decidió exhibir al Estadio. Se supone que el tiempo de reposición es para recompensar el tiempo perdido para que beneficie al que fue afectado. Si Chivas "necesitaba" de este tiempo y fue el propio Estadio de Chivas quien hizo el grito pues debió de simplemente terminar el partido. Ya habían pasado los 90 minutos oficiales. En otros partidos se escucha el grito durante el encuentro y ni lo paran. A veces hasta faltando 15 minutos o mas y tratan de apresurar el encuentro para terminarlo. A pasado en partidos de Cruz Azul y otros en la LigaMx.

Sorteo Mundial FIFA, Qatar 2022

Abril 1, 2022 se llevó a cabo el sorteo para el Mundial de Futbol en Qatar. En general parece que será un Mundial muy competitivo. Mucho que destacar al finalizar el sorteo. Qatar vs Ecuador inaugurarán este mundial.

 Partidos importantes en cada Grupo: 

GRUPO A: Ecuador vs Holanda

GRUPO B: Inglaterra vs Estados Unidos

GRUPO C: Argentina vs México

GRUPO D: Francia vs Dinamarca

GRUPO E: España vs Alemania

GRUPO F: Bélgica vs Croacia

GRUPO G: Brasil vs Suiza

GRUPO H: Portugal vs Uruguay

El favorito del mundial parece ser Francia. Con grandes jugadores en grandes clubs que pasan por buen momento. La sorpresa es Canada que vuelve a un mundial 36 años después! No jugaban un mundiao desde El Mundial de México de 1986. Igual EstadosUnidos que regresa después de perderse el mundial pasado de Rusia 2018. Otro equipo que sorprendió fue Senegal que tuvo una polémica clasificación al dejar fuera a Egipto.

México. El equipo mexicano que conocemos a lo largo de los años si es capaz de avanzar en este grupo minimo como 2do. Si tiene la capacidad de vencer a Arabia Saudita, Polonia de Lewandowski y hasta al Argentina de Lionel Messi. Pero este no a sido una México normal. A tenido una Gran baja de nivel futbolistico. Desde el Director Técnico Gerardo Martino hasta los jugadores. El plan de juego no es claro, las convocatorias no han sido las necesarias y la efectividad de los seleccionados a sido muy pobre. Desde la Delantera hasta la defensa. Eso, más aparte los rivales no son Nada fáciles. Se pueden vencer pero será difícil y mucho más difícil para este México. Argentina el favorito y poderoso del Grupo C, tiene un gran equipo y a uno de los mejores jugadores del Mundo. Aparte de sus grandes jugadores y estilo de juego. Vienen de Ganar la Copa América gran parte gracias a Lionel Messi que mostró su liderazgo como nunca antes visto en Selección. Aparte existen otras motivaciones extras que le darán un plus a este Argentina. Argentina no a ganado un mundial con Messi y además este es seguramente el último mundial de Lionel Messi! Argentina tendrá una gran motivación como no la an tenido. Mientras que Polonia. Polonia no es un equipo tan fuerte como parece. El equipo depende demasiado de otro de los mejores jugadores del mundo, Robert Lewandowski. Tienen a un equipo que hace y tiene lo suficiente para pelearle a cualquier Selección. Tienen unos cuantos jugadores jugando en equipos importantes y tienen buen nivel. Además que alguna genialidad de Lewandowski puede cambiar el partido en cualquier momento. Por último, está Arabia Saudita. Apezar de parecer un equipo inferior. Tiene la ventaja de no ser un equipo muy conocido. En la evaluación podrá parecer más débil que México pero a este México le puede competir cualquier Selección. Podrían sorprender si México de confía. Además que se conoce que Arabia Saudita llena Estadios. Su afición es muy fiel y se espera una gran entrada por su parte. México tendría que aprovechar Todo para llegar en su mejor nivel. Desde preparación con buenos Partidos amistosos, establecer la mejor convocatoria posible, entrenar lo más posible con los jugadores elegidos y preparar una buena estrategia futbolistica para cada rival. Y claro esperando que lleguen todos en su mejor nivel futbolistico. Claro se debe dejar problemas pasados atrás. Traer a Javier Hernandez hasta con la posibilidad de jugar con ambos Raul y Javier. Ya sea lado a lado como 2 centros delanteros o quizás uno jugando detrás del otro. Igual con Carlos Vela. Se debería hacer hasta lo último para convencerlo de ir al mundial. También voltear a ver más a la Liga Mx donde puede haber jugadores en mejor momento que los que a convocado. La mayoría de los equipos del mundo dan todo en el Mundial para mandar su mejor Seleccion Nacional. Esperemos México también lo haga.

Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock

During the Oscar's Academy Award of March 27, 2022 an unexpected event occurred live on stage. Chris Rock who was on stage to present the next section, starting Joking with Will Smith and his wife. He thought it was funny to make a joke about Jada Smith hair loss. Jada Smith suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disease that affects women and men. This condition can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss. Jada Smith has been open about her condition and even speak out of how it had affect her emotionally. On an episode of "Red Table Talk" she said:

 "It was terrifying when it when it first started," "I was in the shower one day, and then just handfuls of hair — just in my hands — and I was like, 'Oh my God, am I going bald?' It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking with fear. That's a really scary experience." 

Will Smith tried to keep his cool but couldn't resist when Chris Rock went on with the jokes. You could see how upset and uncomfortable Jada was feeling at that joke. That's when Will Smith decided to stand up and walk up to the stage. Will Smith walk up to Chris Rock and slap him right on the face. At this Chris Rock was surprised and try to joke about it. But when Will Smith sat down he was furious and told Chris to keep his wife name out of his mouth. Chris said it was a joke but Will repeated furious to keep his wife name out of his mouth. During the comercial break, Will Smith stand up and was seen talking to Denzel Washington. Denzel was calming him down and also went to Jada to show his support. A few minutes later Will Smith was awarded an Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in "King Richard". When Will Smith took the stage he apologized to the academy and his fellow nominees. 

Will Smith said: "I know to do what we do, you gotta be able to take abuse and have people talk people about you. In this business, you gotta have people disrespecting you. And you gotta smile and pretend that's ok." 

Will Smith also shared what Denzel Washington told him: “At your highest moment be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”

Will Smith was obviously affected by these events and said he will do anything to defend his loved ones.

Now this lead to a massive debate whether Will Smith did the right thing or not. While is true that Violence isn't the answer for everything you can't deny how you would act in that situation. Some people say that he should have waited after the broadcast or wait until they were backstage. But could he really just take all that in and acted as if nothing happened? While Violence might be wrong in certain situations you can't deny Will Smith reaction was natural. Some people demand he should lose his award or be banned from places, but why? He was defending his wife who was clearly uncomfortable. Besides his award was for his project not for his attendance to the Oscar's. Most people just go with the flow and said Violence is not the answer no matter the circumstances. But do they truly believe that or is it because that looks good publicly? Some people are afraid of saying their real opinion because they are afraid some will think they are supporting Violence. But Will Smith was protecting his wife. I see it as this. Empathy. Put yourself in that same or similar situation and ask yourself, how would I react? What if they were making fun of Your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, daughter or even as a woman if they are making fun your children, mother, sister, or even a family member with a disability or a special condition, would you really hold yourself and try to talk about it? Just as people criticize Will Smith, they should criticize Chris Rock. Some Jokes are out of place and must always be careful not to cross the line. Don't try to hide behind humor to try to get a moment to shine or to provoke a reaction. And yes there are jokes about everything and people shouldn't be offended easily but there is a place for everything. Maybe Chris Rock joke could have been ok if it was done on one of his shows. A comedy show expected to have all kinds of jokes but not on a gala event where the purpose is to award a production. Or even a Roast show where the purpose is to "attack" others with jokes. But this wasn't the place or moment.
