Managed to watch Gundam SEED: Freedom today which is only in cinemas for two days in my country and coming from someone who has been a fan of SEED and SEED Destiny many years ago, the film was really good.

Having watched the first two episodes of X-Men 97, all I can say is that Marvel Animation certainly knows how to maintain its nostalgic roots and build and craft interesting storylines and characters that will certainly leave anyone who is a fan of the 1992 animated series satisfied.

But best of all:

I'd totally would love to see the 1994 Spider-Man animated series get a continuation and hope that Peter will be able to eventually find Mary Jane. But I also feel that the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes show deserves a continuation as well.

As for the Agents of Shield series, I'm not entirely sure where it will go in terms of continuation unless it follows on from the events of Quake and her team. Or perhaps they should consider revisiting the idea of Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter's "Most Wanted" spinoff show that didn't quite happen.

"When responsibility comes, great power will come."

Having watched Madame Web, I do wonder who's bright idea was it to come up with this?

I think that both James Gunn's DCU films and Kevin Feige's MCU future films will both be facing obstacles and challenges of their own going forward which will depend on how well they are going to be received.

So I've managed to watch all of the episodes of the Netflix's live action series take on Avatar: the Last Airbender. Whilst it is miles better than the dreadful 2010 live action film, there are still areas that didn't quite match the magic of the animated adaptation.

With a second and third season renewed, I just hope they can take in the feedback on board.

Very sad to hear about the news in regards to Akira Toriyama's passing.

His unique design and character artwork was what made him very special whether this is from Dragon Ball to Dragon Quest.

14 years ago, there was a live action adaptation to Nickelodeon's Avatar dubbed "The Last Airbender" and boy did it received a load of scathing reviews from fans of the animated series.

I've managed to watch the film today to see how bad it was and boy, it was really really bad in many ways that not only rushed so many aspects within its story that failed to stay faithful to its source material, but also a load of poor casting choices with terrible acting.

At the same time, I've also watched five episodes of the live action series of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix in which once I've seen all of the episodes, I will give my overview.

All I have to say to Hideo Kojima is good luck with watching Madame Web.

Let's see if anyone can solve these two mysteries from CITV's It's a Mystery:

1. "A lady wanted to build a house in which all of the windows and all of the rooms on all of the sides of the house faced south, how could she do this?"

2. "You enter a cold dark house late at night, inside there is an oil lamp, a gas fire and a wood stove. But you only have one match. The mystery is, which of these do you light first?"

There has certainly been quite a lot of drama regarding Bandai Namco's handling of the Tekken shop (which is why Tekken Reddit is quite heated on this discussion lately.)

Was hoping for a Rare Replay port or Diddy Kong Racing heading on to the Nintendo Switch Online, but at least a couple more Rareware games are coming on the NSO. Ah well.

I do feel sometimes people need to differentiate between films that were made by Marvel Studios and Sony Entertainment Pictures.

Back in the 90's, Capcom made a load of Marvel fighting games that included the X-Men. What if Capcom made a fighting game based upon the Spider-Man 1994 animated series, which character could be playable?

As I stated in one of my previous posts, I had shared my concerns in regard's to Sony's direction on where they want in terms of utilising other Spider-Man characters within their cinematic universe which is ambitious.

But after watching Morbius two years ago and recently Madame Web, other than Venom, I am not entirely sure exactly where the reception for their upcoming and future projects that includes Kraven the Hunter which comes in cinemas this year.

But I will say one more thing about the writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless for Madame Web, I generally do not see them getting any further roles having seen their abysmal track record prior to being selected as writers for the film.

Just finished watching Madame Web and everything I've seen in the film was just really bad.

It's either that or Mark Ruffalo spoiling things as usual.

Well, let's see whether this can make a Madame Web-illion dollars.

Looks at the social media reaction to Madame Web and seeing one saying that "Morbius is better" doesn't really sets any high expectations for the film.

I know that sometimes Youtube can do wonders especially when someone uploads all the episodes of long time shows in which after all these years, I can finally watch all of them at last.

Got my tooth extracted today at the dentist and wearing a denture for the first time is an entirely new experience

sighs Zaslav really wants to make himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

And it was also my first game that I had purchased for the Playstation 3. But it certainly had been quite a long while since the Virtua Fighter franchise last had a new entry.

For all the promotion and marketing Madame Web is doing, all they can afford is a plain red chair?

"Who are you?"
I'm you but LEGO

Capcom is holding a poll to ask which franchises deserves to have a reboot/sequel:


It is really hard to pick which ones, but I went with Darkstalkers, Dead Rising and Ace Attorney. (Although there are plenty of other long dormant franchises that also deserved to be revived.)

Someone from Reddit:

"Killing off beloved characters in the opening moments of the new instalment is such a lazy screenwriting trope that I’m tired of."

I wouldn't exactly go as far and say that "killing off beloved characters in the opening moments" should be considered as a "lazy screenwriting trope."

I've seen some films and shows that were able to establish how character deaths can help with the narrative of the plot going forward. For example (and maybe not from an opening moment perspective) Agent Phil Coulson's death during a confrontation against Loki in the Avengers film helped elevate the stakes moving forward and it gave the heroes a meaning and coming together with a goal to stop Loki and save New York.

At the same time, there are some films and shows that were not able to adapt this well. For example, Maria Hill's death in the Disney+ show series Secret Invasion did the opposite of what the Avengers film had accomplished and didn't help drive the narrative of the plot going forward.

Personally, I know that killing off beloved characters isn't something that everyone is going to agree on, but as long as a character's death is well written and have a meaningful purpose, it can contribute to raising the stakes for both plot and character that can tie up the loose ends of the narrative.

Social media reactions and review embargo for Sony Entertainment Pictures' Madame Web will be lifted a day before the film comes out in theatres.

I get the feeling this may not bode well at all for Madame Web although that may depend on the reviews.

Going back to children's tv shows that I watched back at my time and one of these was "It's a Mystery" that once aired back on CITV. It was a show that usually presenters tell different stories that will either be weird, strange, spooky or even fascinate the viewer in which these mysteries either ends in being solved or unsolved.

Here is an example of a story based upon the "Tunbridge Wells time slip."

Having watched today's first episode of the Apprentice UK, what an earth were the candidates thinking of putting apple crumble on top of a fishcake? I wonder what would Gordon Ramsay will say if he sees this?

Let's say if there were a Playstation All-Star Battle Royale sequel in the works, which characters do you predict will make the cut?

At the end of the day, its Super Mario Bros, one of the biggest and well-known and iconic franchises within the video game industry which is not a surprise that the film was a success regardless of whether it was good or not.

Should you trust RT critics or the audience scores? You should just go and watch the film and decide for yourself whether it meets your expectations or not.

If there is DLC content that interests me, then I'll consider making a purchase.

If there is DLC content that does not interest me, then I won't make a purchase.

Those are the two "options" I have when it comes to what sort of DLC content I want to purchase because at the end of the day, it is my own decision, not theirs to decide.

That is all I am going to say.

Someone from Reddit:

"It's like watching a Marvel movie, you don't go to the cinema for the plot, you are in it for the action. Tekken 8 achieved that for me."

Whilst I am aware that people have different preferences when they go to watch a film or going to the cinema, I actually beg to differ in regards to what this poster stated.

I've watched a ton of Marvel movies and I generally don't watch them just for the action, but also for the plot to see how well every aspect is structured.

Having a good plot usually tells you what happens throughout the story and also acts as a mechanism that can help with building up their characters. Without a good plot, people will not have a general idea of what is going on and make them care less about the character's development.

I did watched the entire Tekken 8 story on Youtube in which I will give my thoughts in a later post.

Sony Entertainment Pictures are not going to let go of this "El Muerto" project aren't they?

So apparently in an old article, there were plans to make a film adaptation of the SoulCalibur series with its synopsis as:

"The story revolves around two warriors who are chosen by Shaolin monks to recover and destroy a powerful sword, Soul Edge, that has fallen into the hands of an evil prince who plans to use it to open the gates of hell and destroy the world."


Just like the usual with studios not following the source material nor even consulting with the producers of the video game, this would had been an absolute disaster just like the Tekken live action film. But at least the film was canned in the end.

SAG AFTRA: Condemns the use of AI on Taylor Swift's likeness.

Also SAG AFTRA from a few weeks ago: Made an agreement with an AI company to generate replicas of actor's voices in video games.

To be honest, I'm not entirely too surprised in regards to the early box office predictions for Madame Web (which is tracking even lower than Morbius) considering that Sony Entertainment Pictures hasn't done much marketing on the film.

Whilst I do like Karl Urban's performance in "The Boys", I'm rather sceptical about casting him as Johnny Cage for the Mortal Kombat live action sequel.
