Mega Man 11: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue?

As you may have guessed by the title, I've played Mega Man 11. Reviewing Mega Man games is like Reviewing Storm Collectibles MK Ninjas... The core is the same, but the accessories and paint jobs make the difference (I have an Ermac to review and waiting on Rain and Smoke)

So, if you've played any Mega Man game, you KNOW what to expect: 8 robot masters, traverse stages with cheap deaths, reach the boss, find their  weakness, beat them then go to Wily, beat his castle fight the 8 all over again, then FINALLY Face Wily... Beat him and watch him beg as he escapes.

Well, Mega Man has a few tricks up his sleeve...
Something Old: Mega Buster Charge Shot and Slide are back.
Something new: Double Gear system, which is like a temp boost for Speed or Damage.
Something Borrowed: Double Gear System. In game canon the DGS is a Wily invention that Light "borrowed" to stop his former colleague. But it's Bullet time, which is borrowed from pretty much every game who has used that trick... Including MEGA MAN 2.
Something Blue: Mega Man, duh!

The game feels like it wanted to slap Mighty No.9 in the face and wants to make that game cry like an anime fan on Prom Night...

Where Mega Man 9 and 10 went with a faux Retro look. (sorry but if they had been TRUE Retro, then they should have been able to EASILY FIT in one of these:

Mega Man 11 decided to embrace the future and jumped to 3D... Sure, X did it before him and had a STEEP learning curve... X7 sucked and the non 2D platforming stages from X8 sucked as well.
But Mega Man 11 Feels like a 2D Mega Man but with 3D Models. No "Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!" BS here!
Heck! Best part is that the game is not a $60 game... UIt's $30, so saving money is a win!
The game is a tad short though... I mean, it's MEGA MAN!! and Capcom LEARNED that for MEGA MAN you can't stray too far from the formula.

The game is great and all, but it does have a few flaws... It can be Mega Man 9 unforgiving... Had a couple of BS deaths that made me rage quit... until I discovered the Speed Upgrade to the Double Gear... Yeah, the game will try to make you use Double Gear as much as possible.
Betting that Blues and Forte will be Paid DLC because of Crapcom greed. Seriously? Where were they? Hopefully the game will be successful enough for a 12.

The movie is like a turd in the wind... Am I a Gaga fan now? Spoilers

A "Venom" movie without Spider-Man is the most stupid thing ever... People warned SONY, but they decided to keep on trucking and making this turd a reality...
I will spoil the crap out of this movie because it's bad and I don't want you to waste money on it...

SO Let's begin!

They Kill John Jameson the Man Wolf right out of the bat... Or Did they? Do the math:
Marvel movie, Astronaut named Jameson... He's dead now.

End Credits Spoiler that Pretty much everyone knew BEFORE THE MOVIE CAME OUT! Woody Harrelson cameos as Cletus Kassady... While wearing a cheap Party City wig. Worst offense:
They didn't use this when Harrelson dropped the Carnage line as BGM


They had a WAY to tie it in to Spidey but they didn't, because they are frigging Morons!

They fixed the Sim Buy Oats line to Sim Bee Oats

I was the only idiot who cheered after hearing Sim BEE Oat instead of sim BUY Oat.

But Let's Begin: Eddie Brock a Reporter living in San Francisco after being ousted from New York. He's engaged to Anne Weying an attorney whose firm works for The Life Foundation... The very same company that brought the symbiotes to Earth after "an accidental crash". Brock screws his relationship up at an interview with LF's CEO. Brock loses everything... again and not a Parker in sight... He is contacted by Dr. SimBUYOat... in order to help him uncover the Truth, Dr. SimBUY Oat helps Eddie infiltrate LF where he gets infected by the sim BUY Oat.

Then the movie turns into a weird Superhero movie from the last decade/buddy comedy between Eddie and the Symbiote. Oh yeah, Eddie doesn't go Venom until 1 hour into the film. We have a lot of awkward scenes where Hardy talks to himself and people think he's nuts. The movie remembers it has a villain and attaches a symbiote to Tentacle rape victime from Rogue One. They fight, bad guy kills Eddie, but Venom brings him back to life and they kill the bad guy. Eddie becomes Lethal protector, One Stan Lee Cameo, then Credits... then the Carnage cameo followed by more credits.


Thanks Jay, for summarizing it for me so eloquently.

Where can I start... The movie KINDA FEELS like a Sequel to Tobey Man 3, but with the First Hour forcing "an Origin" after they were forced to re-write.

While they tried to simplify, they ended up making a big mess. The stakes were... Apparently the world, but it didn't feel like that. Pretty much the entire movie felt like Eddie vs Thugs. Riot doesn't even come into play until the end of the movie. Now there are Millions of symbiotes awaiting to hitch a ride to conquer Earth.

If you really want to watch this: Don't waste your money...
