(episode review) - X-Men '97 - Episode 7

  I am pretty sure I had mentioned before that I sat down and watched all five seasons of the 1992 X-Men series from beginning to end. When I got my hands on Disney+, it did not take me that long to have a look and find the show to watch and reminisce on specific episodes. Moreover, I would watch the show just before bed or at random times going back-to-back with episodes and eventually falling asleep not knowing where I left off. So recently and just before X-Men '97 started, I watched all 5 seasons and made sure I paid a lot of attention to the episodes. I had heard the fifth season was not great and whoever told me that, was 100% correct. It was somewhat jarring due to the contrast between all the seasons and the last season. X-Men '97 though, although also jarring, the animation is EVERYTHING! It looks so good and even though some liberties have been taken in regards to how some of the characters look and dress, well only for some characters as they do look the same but wit

(trailer review) - Deadpool and Wolverine

( TEASER TRAILER )  So trailer two is here and Marvel did not hold back. It was mentioned that Kevin Feige said the Deadpool sequel would be the only Rated R movie from Disney. That he would not tamper with the Deadpool formula at all. But then the fans of the MCU, across the world looked at each other in disbelief and some even screamed out "Marvel is going to ruin Deadpool", "Marvel is going to ruin the ending of Logan". So with that teaser trailer they showed, they wanted to let people know, they were not holding back, other than holding back Wolverine of course. As I stated in my first review "...this movie is not for kids, and I love it!". But this trailer, on the other hand, wow, just wow. Definitely not for kids, especially as there were so many "F-Bombs" before the trailer even started properly telling us (the audience), that Kevin has indeed kept his world. This trailer starts with Wolverine at a bar as usual and Deadpool comes in to tak

(episode review) - Fallout

I used to have Nintendo growing up. Nintendo, Super Nintendo and then I went onto the Sony Playstation. I had a Playstation, Playstation 2 and then I went onto the Microsoft Xbox. Xbox 360 to Xbox 360 Elite (It was still an Xbox 360 but my previous one had the red ring of death) and I was looking for something cool to play. It was under recommendation that I got into Fallout and the game's cover looked cool. A meaning looking helmet-mask thing. This was Fallout 3. Although I am a bit of a completionist, I would ideally want to know the full story and play it from the beginning, not from Fallout 3. However, upon designing my character and getting into the story, I did not realise that the story of Fallout 3 was not really connected to Fallout 2. It was not a continuation of any previous story, and having purchased and played Fallout 4, my understanding of the Fallout franchise is, a bunch of different stories told with different protagonists, at different times, in different places

(episode review) - X-Men '97 - Episode 5

  I honestly feel that the people behind this show sat down with Disney and said exactly this, "So, Disney...hear me out. I have this idea where we want to make an X-Men animation, in the vain of all present-day animation, style and story, with modern-day animation techniques, but continuing the stories from the animated show from the 90's" Disney looked confused and asked, "why would you not just want to start from scratch with something new altogether like we have many times before?" And they replied "Why? Why not use what is already there and mine the stories even more. What did the X-Men do when Magneto took over? Is Charles Xavier really dead? What happened to Mr. Sinister? Is Apocalypse still around? Do we see any more stories with Cable? We can raise the stakes. We can make something from my childhood remain for children but age it up in line with today's animation. We will target the children who are now adults and possibly with their children,

(trailer review) - Joker: Folie à Deux

After watching the first movie, I felt that Warner Brothers did an amazing job. Joaquin Phoenix was great and the story of Joker was somewhat different to what a lot of people have known through reading the comics. I never read the comics and The Joker to me was basically the arch nemesis of The Batman. He wore purpler and Jack Nicholson played a great version of the Clown criminal back in the Batman movie with Michael Keaton as the titular hero. I really felt that this movie did not need a sequel. That perhaps, Todd Phillips or whomever took the job on (hopefully Todd) were to do another film based on another Batman villain, Mr Freeze, maybe. Imagine a film about a man named Viktor who is a scientist and he has a sick wife in whom he loves dearly, but is trying to cure her from her illness and ends up going down a dark and sinister path leading him to becoming the Mr Freeze we know from the comics...but they have decided to go with a sequel to Joker and they have also brought in Harle
