Covering different forms of media one at a time
Looking for a 500 word or less opinion? Then look no further!
Depending on when you start a series, you might avoid the classics like the plague. Like watching a new blockbuster without realizing it came from a book. I’m not judging, of course, I’m practically projecting even. I used to think watching or reading earlier works was a giant hassle with other mediums of fiction. While I didn’t have this problem with reading/watching older anime as much, it was a hurdle with comics.
Continue readingThe year 2024 passed by too quickly for me. I’m not making this post to make excuses for my lack of writing but rather acknowledge that I have not written all year. My personal issues this year warped my focus and left me uninspired to properly type out my thoughts. I wanted to discuss what I experienced this year but somewhere along the way I lost my ability to clearly illustrate a point. Several topics appeared too much like a critique or drifting too far from my original point.

The Game Awards are fast approaching leaving me to reflect on those five $79.99 games for contender of game of the year (GOTY). Street Fighter 6 is a shoe-in for best fighter and Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon snuck up on my expectations with its mecha greatness.

The third movie, while ambitious, does not resonate with me on its final product.

Continue readingThe MCU’s last phase four movie, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, left a mixed impression. Some declare it a mess while others sing the sequel’s praises. Nigel, you might remember him here, and I took the opportunity to watch it on a late Tuesday evening. Well, my first time watching it because Nigel saw it day one with his fresher than fresh comic book t-shirt.
Two weeks ago, I was adamant on not seeing Black Adam due to the horrible taste in my mouth from Thor: Love and Thunder. However, I went to see Hollywood staple, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the new comic book movie. I went with Nigel, one of my best friends, who is more optimistic about comic book movies than my pseudo movie critic self. After watching it, DC’s latest movie is an entertaining ride but ultimately a dumb film. Way better than the MCU’s latest two attempts at movies.
