![]() Paired with the movie’s impressive use of 3D, it legitimately sets up a visual feast. Kai also has the ability to use stolen qi to create jade minions of the various heroes that he has defeated over the years, and the physical texture of these characters alone is jaw-droppingly beautiful, even before they begin executing incredible and stunning choreography during battle. We first meet Kai as he is doing battle with the returning Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) in the spirit realm, and this world alone offers incredible physics-free environments for intense and beautiful fight sequences where anything can happen. Director Jennifer Yuh made some amazing moves with the aesthetic of the series with Kung Fu Panda 2, particularly with the introduction of some stunning 2D animation sequences, and its direct sequel is a fitting follow-up with other great new ideas of its sleeve – mostly thanks to the presence of the movie’s central villain. Supporting character development is obviously one of the big flaws with Kung Fu Panda 3 - particularly disappointing given the series’ legacy – but what has held strong is the impressive visual style of the franchise – which has only gotten better and more beautiful over time. It’s not overly complex storytelling, but it is emotional, affecting, and ultimately engaging on the right level to be seen as a (potentially) great capper for the franchise. In the last seven years, audiences have become invested in seeing the oafish, gluttonous eponymous panda overcome personal hardship and challenges to live up to his real destiny, and Kung Fu Panda 3 keeps that really going on a personal and professional level for the character, as he must both struggle against the greatest enemy he’s ever faced while simultaneously be torn between his biological father and the goose (James Hong) who raised him. Kung Fu Panda 3 is a 2016 3D computer-animated martial arts comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox.It is the third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, and the sequel to 2011s Kung Fu Panda 2. The sequel most certainly takes a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to the franchise formula, creating modern stories steeped in Chinese mythology while also expanding on Po’s journey and destiny to become the greatest warrior the world has ever seen… and it really works just as a result of this. Obviously this is a tremendously high-pressure situation already, so it doesn’t help that the move coincides with both the return of Po’s long lost father, Li (Bryan Cranston), and the return of a villainous Kung Fu master bull named Kai, who has returned from the spirit realm to try and capture the qi of every warrior in the world. Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) wants to retire so that he can commit himself to the study of qi, and the silly panda also known as the Dragon Warrior is to be made the new trainer of the legendary Furious Five (Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, and David Cross). Once again based on a script by the duo Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, Kung Fu Panda 3 picks up shortly after the events of the last film, and finds Po (voiced by Jack Black) ascending to the next level of his training: the move from student to teacher.

Coupled with that is the fact that you don't have to download a ton of data - around 25GB on PC, almost 40GB on PS4 and Xbox One.

Fabolous makes a valiant attempt to put some numbers on the board with Lloyd Banks’ 2010 single “Start It Up,” and although the track itself is a certified street banger, it’s no challenge for one of the most memorable remixes of the early aughts. Having captured the momentum early on, Jada continues to run up the score by tossing Nas’ “Made You Look (Remix)” out on the table. Fabolous, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz & Ryan Leslie’s “Start It Up“ Jadakiss & Ludacris’ “Made You Look (Remix)” vs. From there, Loso draws another lyrical miracle out the deck via “6 Minutes of Death,” his scorching showing alongside Lil Wayne and Cassidy from Cass’ I’m A Hustla album, which lands with impact, but falls short of a deafening blow in this matchup. ![]() Sticking to the Ruff Ryders era of his career, the raspy one comes through with “Recognize,” the standout, DJ Premier-produced cut off The LOX’s sophomore LP, We Are the Streets. Fabolous & Juelz Santana’s “You Ain’t Got Nuthin'” Lil Wayne & Fabolous’ “6 Minutes” DMX feat. In return, Fabolous contests Kiss’ opening pitch with a freestyle, which ultimately pales in comparison to Kiss’ memorable posse-cut Jadakiss wastes no time throwing down the gauntlet, as he lets off his verse from “Blackout,” his collaborative effort with his LOX brethren, JAY-Z, and DMX, from the latter’s 1998 LP, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. How 'We Are The Streets' Captured The Raw Essence of The LOX Here’s a round-by-round breakdown and recap of the Verzuz battle between Jadakiss and Fabolous, along with who we felt walked away as the victor when all was said and done. The evening, which included backstories behind each artist’s most popular records, friendly, albeit competitive banter, and countless trips down memory lane for the viewers and those commenting in the chat, is one that rap fans will remember for quite some time and is a testament to Fab and Jada’s staying power and music contributions to the culture. In this matchup, Jadakiss went first for the first ten rounds, with Fabolous responding with his own selection, before switching the rotation for the final ten rounds, with Jadakiss answering with a song of his own. Aside from minor technical difficulties during the tail-end of the battle, this edition of the Instagram Live event continued the seamlessness of previous battles, with Jada and Fab proving that R&B and gospel artists aren’t the only ones who know how to put on a show in an effective fashion. Today, both continue to churn out material and are regarded as OG’s in the game, with resumes that place them on the list of the greatest rappers of all-time.Īs two of the greatest rappers out of New York to ever pick up a mic, and with their willingness to perform and compete out of love for the culture, it was a given that Freddy and Jason face off in a Verzuz matchup to see whose lyrical sword cuts the deepest, once and for all. Throughout the aughts, both artists matched their commercial success with standout showings alongside other rap and R&B artists and on the mixtape circuit, building reputations as elite wordsmiths. While Jadakiss spent the latter half of the ’90s as a key cog in the Bad Boy Records machine as a member of The LOX, Fabolous bided his time dominating the mixtape circuit under the guiding hand of DJ Clue, who helped him secure a record deal through his imprint, Desert Storm. With both having released their debut solo albums in 2001, Jadakiss and Fabolous’ trajectories within the rap game have been eerily similar. ![]() While the event between the two - who joined forces for the highly-anticipated and critically acclaimed joint-album, Friday on Elm Street, in 2017 - was undoubtedly friendly and laced with compliments throughout the battle, there was no question that each came with the intent to outlast the other and walk away the victor. After pairing two of the most acclaimed stars in contemporary R&B on Juneteenth, Verzuz returned to its rap roots, as Jadakiss and Fabolous went heads up to see whose catalog reigns supreme. ![]() The reality is there are groups that benefit from this obfuscation- namely, the NPPs who (intentionally or not) pass as doctors and the administration who can churn through more patient volume and make more profit by hiring cheaper but less qualified medical staff. There’s nothing wrong with specific titles, and calling someone provider is a subtle way to obfuscate the qualifications of healthcare personnel. ![]() People with less healthcare literacy often have no idea, and think the only roles in the hospital are doctor and nurse, and they will assume that the “provider” is a doctor. You know that provider can mean multiple roles. It’s not elitist to distinguish roles and training, and in every other professional sector, it’s normal. young attending (who works with veterans)Įveryone is valuable, but not everyone has the sam job or qualifications. If their ‘provider’ is an ‘advanced practice’ ‘provider’ aka ‘noctor’ then they are significantly less likely to be getting adequate care compared to a medical doctor. More importantly it confuses patients (which many people refer to as ‘consumers’ which also doesn’t make it right to do so) in that they don’t know who is treating them and are tricked to assume whoever it is is actually skilled and knowledgeable enough for them to be in good hands. It’s not just because of their ‘fragile ego’s’ just like depression and suicide in veterans (who have a lower rate of suicide than physicians) is not due to any weakness but the demands of the job paired with social consequences of doing it INCLUDING how society as a whole treats them. It is a term that equalizes positions that aren’t equal this does several things including: First, and less importantly, add to the increasing denigration of physicians which is one of the many factors that lead to such high burnout rates which is a factor that leads to physicians having among the, if not THE, highest suicide rates of any profession. I’m sure as a bright young person (assuming you are premed as /u/I_rly_dont_care said) you can appreciate there have been countless times in history where everyone was saying or doing something but really more people should have spoken up against it. Just because many people do it doesn’t make it right. ![]() ![]() ![]() IPBES (2019): Global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem services of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.

That starts with access, both on and off the ice, and it is one of the key facets of the strategy for both Disney and Turner Sports. “We’re storytellers,” said Linda Cohn, host of the ESPN+ nightly hockey show “In The Crease.” “We’re going to create those emotional connections that the casual sports fan may not have with an NHL player, with an NHL team, with an NHL coach. Tying in that kind of digital content, as well as emphasizing social media to enhance and complement game coverage exposing the NHL’s brand to new and younger fans and leaning into heightened access to players and coaches are all appealing elements to both networks’ plans. More than 1,000 out-of-market regular-season games will appear on ESPN+, as well as 75 contests on Hulu. “This really is what we hope will be a paradigm-shifting deal in how we acquire rights at The Walt Disney Company,” said Ilan Ben-Hanan, ESPN’s senior vice president of programming and acquisitions.

Before that, however, ESPN and ABC served as the U.S. “We’re going to be at the forefront in terms of how that is going to develop as a result of these deals.”įor the last 16 years, NBC exclusively held the NHL’s domestic media rights. ![]() “As someone who has been in the media business for quite a while, you can see the seismic shift that’s coming with digital,” said the NHL’s David Proper, executive vice president of international and media strategy. They start at a time that digital and social media are more a part of the strategy than ever before, and that will heavily influence how both properties present the sport to the public. Perhaps the broadest change for the NHL in this season of opportunity comes through its deals with Disney and Turner, which are separate seven-year, agreements that average up to $625 million annually, according to sources. If that weren’t enough, the league’s players will return to the Olympics for the first time since 2014, its three marquee stadium events and All-Star Game will take place for the first time in two years and its reigning champion will try to pull off the first three-peat in a major North American team sport since the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers won three straight from 1999-2000 through 2001-02. But the presence of Disney and Turner, the Seattle Kraken and Long Island’s UBS Arena also come in a season that would be critical for another reason: This will be the NHL’s first full 82-game schedule since 2018-19 and will take place against the ongoing realities of the pandemic. Never in recent memory has a major professional league introduced two new rights-paying TV partners, an expansion team and a new arena in the same season. It’s perhaps the biggest part of one of the most seismic business seasons one league has ever had. That also marked the last NHL game - shown on ABC to a reported 6.29 million people - to air on the Disney family of networks, and it is into that world that the NHL will embark on new media deals with not one but two partners: the resumption of a relationship with Disney and the launch of another with Turner Sports.
