    Sharing my concerns and fears I have about the Bob Chapek Disney CEO era.

    He had already made one mistake with Black Widow's simultaneous release last year and now I feel he is about to make another by putting Pixar's Turning Red on streaming instead of theatrical releases which is a rather odd thing to do considering that they usually do a 30-45 day theatrical window first.

    Here is the thing. Whilst I do acknowledge and understand that there is still a pandemic going on which is causing further disruptions, but it is massively important especially for Bob Chapek to ensure that he keeps the creative talents and the animation studios happy. Turning Red has now became the third Pixar film to head to streaming instead of of theatrical release and I am sure that the creative talents that had put all their hard work will not be pleased with this.

    This is why I feel Chapek's vision and direction is nowhere near as good or even close to what former CEO Bob Iger had achieved.

    Looking forward to watching some robot-mashing time as Battlebots makes its return with its sixth season which commences this week.

    The champions of last season EndGame will kick start their campaign against the flipper bot Hydra in its first fight.

    Well it is not long until we close the page of 2021 which had proved to be a challenging and tough and open a new chapter in 2022.

    I have not been able to achieve much this year as I stayed mostly at home and only went out a few times whilst following safety guidelines provided within my country where I continue to wear my mask wherever I go, keeping my distance and recieving my vaccination and booster jabs. But everywhere I go, there are so many things that had come and gone in which it almost feels like I was walking in to an alternate reality.

    I just want to put my fingers crossed and hopefully things will be better in 2022, although this is very hard to tell what will happen next at this time.

    Anyways on the bright side, I want to wish to everyone on Smashboards, a Happy New Year and may 2022 bring you luck and prosperity!

    Going on for a bit of a rant post. There were several bizarre things that I have seen commented throughout the Internet and social media lately that left me rather baffled and bemused.

    As of today, Spider-Man: No Way Home made a huge amount within the global box office where it is the largest domestic numbers to date. But seeing how some parts of the Internet and social media are using Spider-Man: No Way Home's box office numbers to say that it wasn't "manufactured" unlike the other MCU Phase 4 films and defeating their narrative is just a terrible analysis considering that these films were released during uncertain times within the pandemic is something that should never be ignored. At the same time, they have illustrated their bias.

    Can't believe next week is going to be Christmas day. I'm aware that the current situation within my country is getting worse with the rapid increase of cases, but all I can do at this time is to ensure that I keep myself and others safe and continue to follow guidelines.
    dezeray112
    Spider-Man: No Way Home comes out tomorrow within my country which is two days earlier than the US release.

    Sadly, I won't be able to watch the film due to the concerns of the rapid Omicron cases throughout the United Kingdom and therefore, I will most likely await for the Blu-Ray release.

    Been seeing a lot of debate on social media mainly Twitter arguing about Miles Morales being Spider-Man. I will say that no matter how much ignorance and denial these particular "individuals" had shown, Miles Morales is and will always be a Spider-Man just like how Peter Parker, Miguel O'Hara, Ben Reilly, Cindy Moon and many others assume the identity as a Spider-Man..

    Maybe those people who still ignore this, should watch this video starting at the 01:01 mark:

    Home Sweet Home Alone Thoughts:

    I always adored the first two Home Alone films that were so memorable back when I watched these as a kid. When I heard that another film was in the works for Disney+, I was cautiously curious because I don't know how things will turn out. Sadly, Home Sweet Home Alone felt like it did similar mistakes in which the 2021 adaption of Tom and Jerry had done in which the main character got shafted in favour of the side characters.

    Other than that, I did like Rob Delaney and Ellie Kemper's performances as Jeff and Pam McKenzie.

    If they were to ever work on a sequel, my advice to them is to perhaps hire better story and screen writers who can actually provide a compelling plot and character development.

    Decided to give it a second watch and whilst I still maintain my views, I do feel more sympathy towards Jeff and Pam McKenzie's struggles a lot more than Max. But the only saving graces were the appearance of Buzz McAllister and the final 10-15 minutes of the film.

    After watching Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings three times on Disney+, here are some ideas I have in mind for a sequel:

    1. Shang Chi teams up with Jimmy Woo to form the Agents of Atlas (a team that comprises of other Asian-based superheroes.) I have a couple of ideas for my ideal casting in which if anyone is interested, I could provide my thoughts on who should be who in another post.

    2. Shang Chi and Katy goes on a journey to look in to the history of his father's ten rings and perhaps ally with the Five Weapons Society.

    My thoughts on the Multiverse:
    • Whilst it is something that I will keep track on my radar, I am cautiously going to wait and see how things will pan out as soon as more details will be revealed within the future.
    • It is also quite interesting that they are utilising a 2v2 mechanic which is something refreshing in terms of what platform fighters have offered so far.
    • As for the characters, there is quite a good mix of properties from specific Warner Bros. franchises and it will be interesting to see who else will be revealed.

    When I type in X-Men 97 on Youtube, it gave me two angry nerd channels within the search results saying that their childhood will be ruined.

    Are these channels even fully aware of the history of the X-Men franchise when they were first made or are they as usual use this opportunity to gain clicks?

    I'll probably predict that if a sequel is greenlit at Marvel Studios, I could imagine that this will follow the events of Thena, Makkari, Druig who are seeking to find any other existing Celestials to warn them about Arishem's intentions along with the aid of Pip the Troll and Eros aka Starfox to rescue Sersi who was captured during the film's ending. If anything I predict that if Pip the Troll joins them, he is sure to be the comic relief within the team.

    So, just managed to finish watching the Eternals and I will say that it is not as bad as what the critic scores (on Rotten Tomatoes) reflect, but it does have some issues in which there is room for improvement if a sequel is in the works.

    Happy Halloween! On the subject, it has been almost nine years since this particular "Darkstalkers are not Dead" trailer was shown:


    I would really love to see a new entry where the franchise re-emerge from its grave hopefully within the future.

    Watched the latest Pokemon anime series called "Journeys" and I really do at times miss episodes where they gave Ash's Pokemon a focus episode to give them an opportunity to shine. I'm aware he has got Gengar, Dracovish etc, but I do feel they deserve equal screen and development time other than Lucario.

    Whilst I do acknowledge I do pay attention to critic reviews (in which I respect their review) as they do offer an interesting perspective, there are times that I may either agree or disagree with some of their reviews depending on whether any of these lines up with my views and opinions.

    In the end, it is important that you make your own opinion to decide whether something is good or not.
    dezeray112
    I'm seeing that Marvel Studios' The Eternals is getting some rather divisive reviews.

    I will say that, there are times that I do sometimes agree with critics if their views matches with my opinion, sometimes it may differ or lead to disagreements and in the end the only opinion and views that matters is your own.

    Managed to watch all of the episodes of "Just Beyond" on Disney+. Overall I would say its not bad as there are some episodes that are good, some episodes that were just OK and some that could had been better and I wished that some of the characters had a bit more of a backstory.

    "Which Witch?" and "Treehouse" were the episodes that I really liked as the characters and stories are well constructed. In addition, there were a number of good performances by the cast from Mckenna Grace, Cedric Joe, Rachel Marsh to Cyrus Arnold.

    Like what I felt with the Turner and Hooch series, I do feel that there is a good concept for "Just Beyond" and if it gets a second series, there are some areas that probably will need a bit more work.

    Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings is on its last two days within theaters as its 45-day run is coming to an end where it so far made $405 million in the box office. The film will be available on Disney+ on 12th November.

    Next up for Marvel Studios is Chloe Zhao's the Eternals which comes out on 5th November. The film premiere is happening on Monday 18th in which the social media reaction will be released whilst the review embargo will end on the 23rd/24th October. According to box office insiders, the pre-sales of the film has already beaten Black Widow and Shang-Chi where it could possibly fetch a potential $110 on opening weekend.

    Sora of Kingdom Hearts as the final challenger of the second fighters' pass is a fitting way to conclude Smash Ultimate.

    Here's hoping "everyone" will be back for the next installment of Smash.

    Whilst I have seen different predictions for who will be final character revealed on Tuesday, I will say that we should all be thankful to Masahiro Sakurai and his team for all the hard work and support for Smash Bros. Ultimate.

    Who knows what the future will hold? Maybe perhaps we will see a new Smash for the next gen console and hopefully "everyone" that featured in Ultimate will make a return.

    Is it really this hard for anyone on social media to read the full context before jumping to conclusions?

    Sometimes I do believe that we should always do a fact check to ensure what has been posted is accurate and does not leave, miss or hide any details behind. People should not just the headline of an article and then make a quick conclusion based on that small detail, they should always read the entire context on what has been reported in order to get the full picture.

    Let's say that I am writing a report or a news article about something, I'd usually take my time to research everything that I need to know about a certain topic. Once I have gathered all of my resources as well as checking to see whether the information provided is legitimate, I can confidently put what I learned in to the article/report.

    Whilst I am currently still learning more about box office performances, I am shaking my head over how certain channels consider a film that has currently made $200m to be a flop.

    Why don't they just wait for the end of its theatrical run before we even jump to conclusions to whether or not a film is considered a success or not?

    It is pointless to draw up any assumptions at this stage whilst a film is still in its theatrical run.

    Youtube video showed a clip from Kill Bill of Lucy Liu beheading someone and using strong language in which they believe it is "aspirational" to kids.

    Me: How exactly is that scene considered "aspirational" to young kids when it showed a load of blood, violence, gore and foul language?
