Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants.
DISCLAIMER: OPINIONS POSTED ARE EXAGGERATED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT!! Got it?
And despite this being a mega huge event: it's giving me Watch it at home on February 2027 or whenever Disney+ drops it. I wanted to be excited... but it felt like a PowerPoint presentation for the cast
Well, it wasn't a reunion... well if we count Selena Gomez having a cameo appearance. It was pretty much a Miley Cyrus Midlife Crisis special. Special guests: a couple of fan interviewers, her Mom, Selena Gomez. No Emily Osment, No Mitchell Musso, No Jason Earles, no Moises Arias... But they managed to bring Billy Ray Cyrus... weren't they feuding because he went full MAGA and Miley went full liberal
The only thing I found out is that she dated Zack... as in Zack and Cody. Miley Fully accepted Hannah and is now Both Hannah and Miley.
Kinda wished it was an actual reunion instead of Miley flicking her ego. But seriously, Little by Little Hannah has been taking over Miley.
The Corman produced F4 is STILL the best Fantastic Four Movie. Then the Tim story movies, well, okay, the first one, not rise of the silver surfer, then this one, then rise of the silver surfer, then we get the Josh Trank abomination.
I didn't **HATE** the movie, but I didn't like it.
Ben Grimm was barely there.
Very little Action.
Johnny was more Peter Parker than Johnny Storm.
I understand why Shalla Bal was made the Surfer, but it felt forced. The villain being a fun house mirror reflection of the hero syndrome.
Galactus was dispatched too fast and the battle had little stakes.
So many villains wasted just to get a worse rehash of Rise of the Silver Surfer.
No Chemistry between The team other than Pedro Pascal with Vanessa Kirby... mostly because Pedro had anxiety.
They wasted Mole Man.
It was obvious that the movie was more of a Filler movie than truly introducing the F4.
But at least it lacks Doom...
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!! He appears in the post credits scene!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, GI Joe, Karate Kod, now He-Man and the Masters of the Universe have entered the 2D Beat-em' up game.
Transformers have the 3D Run and gun games like War for Cybertron and Devastation. But there are other properties tbar could work on this genre:
Let's start with the obvious one:
Thundercats:
Decent sized cast with plenty of enemies, especially various generic mutants. There are plenty of enemies for a basic game, additional enemies for DLC and sequels.
Characters like Willa, Hachiman, and thr Snowman as DLC. No, SUGGESTING A BLACK SCREEN LYNX-O MODE, would be a dick move.
Silverhawks:
This one sounds like is perfect for a beat-em'up, but the Mob lacks generic members for it to work as a beat-em up. The game should be mostly a clone of this:
Where the Silverhawks chase down Mob members then once they disable the getaway vehicle, the game turns into a brawler where the Silverhawks have to fight one of the members of the mob.
Tigersharks:
I vaguely remember the show, but it would probably feel like an underwater reskin of Silverhawks.
But it could be made different by perhaps making it a half 2D side-scroller half beat-em'up game.
The first half loosely inspired by
The second half, a beat-em'up...
The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers:
I Vaguely remember the show. Mostly the theme song.
I know galoob made the toys, but I don't know if Hasbro has the rights.
Disney's Gargoyles:
The Old SEGA Genesis game was good. But there was no love for the rest of the Manhattan clan.
A Beat-em'up! Game with flying elements.
Captain Planet and the Planeteers:
The game would be a standard beat-em'up! starring the Planeteers. Captain Planet is not playable. Period. Captain Planet would be the finishing move for each boss. The caveat is that the more players playing co-op , the less Energy you need to charge to summon Captain Planet.
You're soloing it as Ma-Ti: you'll need 5 Super charges to summon Captain Planet.
Playing with 3 Planeteers? A little bit over 1.5 super bars is all you need.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic:
Hasbro wouldn't have the guts, but it's doable...
Jem and the Holograms:
This was a game that should've come during the Rockband and Guitar Hero Craze.
Yes, it's a Dissidia reference... like I was going to start with the big guns.
I'm talking about Goliath's voice actor. We'll, he got his star on Hollywood's walk of fame.
Meanwhile IGN, doesn't even mention his two biggest voice roles. They talk his iconic live action role on John Carpenter's The Thing. They mention Mass Effect, Halo, Saints Row, Destiny 2, but don't mention that he was THE voice of Spaw. All the way to MK11. Or Gargoyles. Fuck IGN, but congrats to Mr. DAVID.
So, I watched Captain America 4: Brave New World. I feel the movie did Anthony Mackie dirty. It TRIED to be the next Winer Soldier, but it fell flat. It wasn't Anthony Mackie's fault. He delivered a great performance. Even Harrison Ford went above Phoning it in. Which is weird, since Ford has been phoning it in for the past 10 years.
But I blame the script. The movie tried to be Cap 2, but it was all over the place. Cap FEELS unimportant to the plot. The only Cap Villain, played by Giancarlo Esposito.
The villains were The Leader and Thaddeus Ross. You know, Hulk Villains. We had a non-mutant Sabra, possibly a Mutate via the Red Room program.
The promotion made Red Hulk a prominent character and he was barely in the movie. The Leader reveal was far to early and was borderline pointless. As a piece he was taken off the board so swiftly and forgotten. The post credits scene was pointless, since we've been dealing with Multiversal threats since No Way Home. We had Loki Seasons 1 and 2, Doctor Strange in the MoM, and last but not least Deadpool and Wolverine. Then we have the upcoming Fantastic Four, which speaks of the Multiversal characters hopping across universes.
But here's the thing.This movie should have been a Hulk movie that happens During the five years of Thanos's snapping. Getting a green haired Samson, having the journey to Smart Hulk. Having Hulk and Ross reach peace and maybe even Bruce seeing Betty one last time. Feels like wasted potential.
It's not a bad movie, but don't get me wrong.It's not great either. I like it but...
I'm glad that I waited to watch It on Disney plus and not spend 16 to 20 bucks at the movie theater... otherwise I'd be pissed.
The actor playing Johhny Storm in the new Fantastic Four movie, Joseph Quinn doesn't understand the character. According to an interview he gave to Variety, Johnny Storm won't be a womanizing, arrogant douche... because that's "not sexy".
The Idea of Johnny Storm being this IRRESPONSIBLE SELFISH ASSHOLE IS to show the "dark side of the power". You know how Spider-Man is all about " With Great Power comes Great Responsibility." Johnny lacks the Responsibility part. He needs to mature into his powers. Maturing is a sign of character growth. Starting as an arrogant douchebag, who uses his fame as a hero to sleep around.
It wasn't BAAAAD, but it wasn't good. I'm going to go on a small rant here. The plot is OK, but what made it hard to watch the movie was the "realistic CGI" it made the movie feel soulless from a visual point of view. It would've been better if this movie had been made in traditional animation.
If you want to have dumbass soccer player, have him as a guest character. My guess is that some rich idiot bought SNK and is imposing things he likes on SNK product.
Mohammed bin Salman is that idiot. He also owns the soccer guy and is in a "partnership" to own the Valencia team. So basically, a rich idiot, bought his way into SNK and is forcing his wants and bribing his buddies and ruining the games. Fuck Mohammed bin Salman, Fuck Cristiano Ronaldo, and Fuck this bullshit. This will not attract new players. FIFA People will buy the game for the novelty factor and might not even play it.
Once the Ronaldinho bullshit wears out Fatal Fury will fade into obscurity once more.
Next KoF might end up getting a team of whatever celebs the Saudi Prince wants to kiss up to.
NECA Made M3gan... we need VICI for obvious reasons. Speaking of...
A part of me wants a NECA Bill Cosby. Yes, for all the jokes about Rapey Cosby... especially if it's Devil Cosby from The Devil and Max Devlin.
NECA has the rights to Elvis and Elton John... but statues. For Elvis and MEGO styled Elton John... I want 1:10 scaled versions of them.
Ooh! Gary Coleman... NECA should do Different Strokes Coleman and Super7 the cartoon Coleman that's an angel.
OK I want a Gary Coleman so he can referee the VICI and M3gan fight. Oh crap, I think I may be drunk... but Tomorrow's my day off, so screw it. I'll just stay inside and pretend I have a life!
The Live Action soulless cash grab fever from Disney has hit Lilo and Stitch. Here's the trailer:
I know what you're thinking: "Nefty What the fuck is wrong with you? The trailer looked amazing. They even brought Stitch's voice actor to reprise the role. This actually looks good! Why do you say that it needs to be killed with fire?"
The answer is quite simple.Yes this looks good too good. This might even give disney the crazy idea that Live Action remakes is where the money is at. Remember the Lion King, Dumbo, Hermione and the Beast... all the other soulless cashgrabs that took a dump on the source material... ie Mulan.
They better hurry up with Hercules before James Woods croaks.
In any case... I'd rather watch Lilo and Stitch than Not Snow White.
Most of the internet is using this to showcase how bad the new movie is. But I'm willing to bet that it was a matinee showing...
It was on an Actual Tuesday! How can you top that! Luckily none of the two people were hurt. Not to mention that it happened on a slow day and on a showing with very little people at the seats.
In any case, I think I'm gonna watch the movie at home once it hits Disney+, just to be safe.
I'm NOT going to watch it on theaters because I don't feel like it. No, it has nothing to do with Anthony Mackie being black. I simply don't think I should spend $20+ on a movie I'm not that interested in watching. Same thing applies to the Thunderbolts.
Both of those movies are screaming: "Watch it on Disney+." Fantastic Four, I MAY see at theaters after I watch Superman, but I might end up watching it on D+.
I'm not a fan on how they're introducing Adamatium, as it means that Weapon X is not a project attempting to Remake Captain America.
Hell, I'm not a fan of Red Hulk. Even if the movie was starring Chris Evans as Captain America, the movie itself doesn't excite me as much as say: First Avenger, Winter Soldier, or Civil War.
But to be fair, it's not just Marvel. It's moviegoing in general.
First I must make some ammendments to previous statements:
The Asian "MJ" is not MJ but Nico Minoru a minor Doctor Strange character.
"Black Flash Thompson" is Lonnie Lincoln.. Joseph Robertson's nemesis, Tombstone.
The Spider bit Peter AFTER Ben Parker's death and it came from another world thanks to Doctor Strange who was fighting a Symbiotic Alien. Not even finished Episode 1 and they're trying to shove Venom down our throats.
This is taking a MASSIVE diarrhea after taking a MASSIVE dump on Spider-Man lore. I'm not touching the black Osborns, because it's the least offensive part of this show. Aside the massive defecation over Spider-Man lore, the show "isn't bad..." from a certain point of view.
If the show wasn't called Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and it was about some other kid who got a different powerset, the show would be Amazeballs. But it's called FNSM and it shits all over Spidey's lore... show premiered today and got Season 2 and 3 approved.
TAS and Spectacular are the superior shows...
Update:
Genderbent blackwashed Lizard... and Amadeus Cho on Ep. 2... Spidey lore is now part of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.
Captain America and He-Man are Siblings with Twiligjt Sparkle, because they share a mom with The Little Mermaid... the Good one, not the blackwashed one that was also bad, not because of the blackwashing.
Holy fuck! EVA is Ariel...
My brain can't even... welp! Looks like Imma watch Disney Plus for a while now...
