Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Sorry for the late summary. I got so busy spending time with my family on Sunday that I didn't have time to post this last night.  Allow me to explain more, my crowd.

 Wow, TWO big holidays over the week we just finished! April Fools AND Easter Sunday!  My April Fools gag almost went too far for some people, but I know I'll do better next year. An emo Celestia is an oxymoron anyways. As for Easter? As usual, my family got together after church. I still chose not to go because I've not been vaccinated yet, which might have been for the best since I heard my local church is not social distancing any more. We had a big lunch together and spent some more time together afterwards. The lunch was interesting. We usually have a home made meal on Easter Sundays, but this time we ate out. One of my uncles was out of town, so it was a small get-together anyways. By the time we were done with family bonding, I hardly had that much time to myself. By the time I finished watching a movie and everything, it was time for bed. No time to post this weekly summary.

 In personal, uneventful news, I actually managed to have Tacos on a Tuesday for once.  It's something I always hear about, but I never manage to do it. I only have tacos when I go out to eat (because I never think about buying taco shells when I'm getting groceries). And when I go out to eat during the week, it's usually on a Wednesday. But lately things have just been kind of random, and this was a nice change of pace. Also, I'm on a hunt to fine psychedelic music, something a 60's or 70's vibe with trippy, nonsense lyrics. A good example would be anything similar to "I Am The Walrus" by the Beatles or perhaps anything by Klaatu.

 Wow! There's been a lot of Kamen Rider news recently! There's going to be a reboot (possibly anime?) of Kamen Rider Black; called Kamen Rider Black Sun. Let's just hope they don't make it too convoluted like the first episode of the TV show did. (Does anyone even realize that Minami and Nobuhiko aren't even related by blood?) There's going to be an anime of Kamen Rider Double, because apparently there was a manga that got really popular. (I wonder if this is Toei's response to the vastly successful SSSS Gridman?) I hope the original actors reprise their roles. And lastly, there is going to be a movie called "Shin Kamen Rider". I was disappointed because I thought that it might be the long awaited continuation to that Kamen Rider prologue movie, but I think it's just going to be another reboot of the original Kamen Rider from the 70's. But it's being directed by Shin Godzilla/Evangelion's Hideki Ano! So that's something.

 Well I didn't think she would, but @Windy Breeze has done it again!  On top of drawing my pony OC, she has begun writing fiction feature my OC, hers, and a few others. You can read the first chapter HERE and the second chapter HERE. Can't wait for part 3!

 MOVIE TIME!  GODZILLA VS KONG (2021). Wow! I actually like this movie! First of all, this movie was MADE to be seen on the big screen. I am sorry I didn’t get that chance, but no vaccine yet, so I’m not taking any chances. Second, I am so glad they ditched any phoned-in environmental message that dragged down the last American Godzilla movie. Third, sad to say that a certain Theory video on YouTube kind of ruined the ending for me, but that doesn’t make the fight scenes and the journey leading up to it any less enjoyable. Fourth, I didn’t care for how the story framed Kong as the hero of this story since Goji’s not a villain. Seems a little unbalanced. Fifth, not my favorite Mechagodzilla in terms of visual design, but he was still pretty epic in action. Sixth, I really wish they had done the final fight in Japan instead of Hong Kong. Come on, movie! That was a prime opportunity! Seventh, I don’t know what the plans are for the future, but I wouldn’t mind a follow up to this. Next time? Haven't decided on a movie yet.

 Saber 29: Poseidon Swings!  I’m mostly speechless right now. It’s a great episode that REALLY leaves you wanting more! However, Rintaro/Blades is the real idiot of this episode. If he had just went to Northern Base instead of confronting Master of Logos alone, none of this mess would have happened. But at least one good thing came from this confusion. Sophia’s back, baby! YES!

 Zenkaiger 05: Sushi Settling!  And with that, we settle back into the standard MOTW format. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason why Zenkaizer can’t travel to Tojitendo is because he’s human and only mechanical lifeforms can go through the portals. Still, as we move on to new episodes, I hope they still find a way to keep things interesting. I know they won’t rely on the whole “rookies learning the ropes” trope for too long. Might be nice if they actually set some episodes aside to learn about other Sentai realities since they are borrowing those powers, and it would be educational for new fans. (Also, with all the sushi-based word play in this episode, am I the only one who wishes they had used Shinkenger/ShinkenGold's power?)

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and open up those bug eyes.

Anyone remember the original live action X-Men movies from the early 2000's? Anyone remember that old X-Men arcade game with the funny, awkward voice acting? Anyone think it would be cool if we combined those two things? .... No?  Well I thought it was hilarious! Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing an entire movie stylized this way. This is "‘X-Men’ movies dubbed with arcade game sounds!" by RetroSFX.
