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

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

Boo~! Did I scare ya?  The haunting hour is so close, my crowd! But first, let's review the week that's gone by.

 The biggest thing, I will dedicate to the saddest thing. There is someone I use to know growing up in my childhood years. She was a friend of my mother's mostly, so I can't say I fully knew her on a personal level, but she was nice to me. She gave me gifts, kindness, and allowed me some happy memories that I'll keep with me forever. She passed away recently. Unfortunately, because of my busy work schedule, I won't be able to go to her funeral. Still, I was able to sign the guest book, leave a rose at her coffin, and say goodbye. It's a sad goodbye, but there is no such thing as a painless passing.
 RIP Lady Liz.

 The second biggest thing to happen was that I managed to get a haircut and some new shirts. I should be excited, but... One of my shirts shrank WAY more than it should have!  I don't understand. It's a mix of cotton and polyester. Shirts like that aren't known for shrinking. Let's hope the other one will be okay.

 Mostly, this was a HUGE week for Tokusatsu news! Kamen Rider Black Sun (which is a series, not a movie) premiered on Amazon Prime JP. The original series, much to everyone surprise, is getting an official release thanks to Discotek Media instead of Shout Factory! Competition, here we come. And finally, there are 2 movies about to happen. A Hurricaneger 20th Anniversary movie, and an AbaRanger 20th Anniversary movie. I am hoping the former will be better than the 10th Anniversary movie at least, and I'm ALL on board for the latter!  Let the rampage of hype begin!!

 Doctor Who is bringing back David Tennant for a short while, just to pass the torch to real actor replacing Jodie. I am optimistic yet cautious about this. There's going to be a Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, with the cast from MCU. That sounds HILARIOUS! I am on board.  The newest Sonic Prime trailer is pure fire! And I learned we are getting a sequel to Man Of Steel with Henry Cavill! Long story short, some things have changed behind the scenes at WB, for the better I might add. It was previously hopeless that were were getting more, and now it's happening! Even Dwayne The Rock Johnson helped make this happen! So cool. Makes me think there is a ray of hope for other things under the WB umbrella.

 DonBrothers 34: A Painful Threemore!  On the one hand, I am a little sad to see Sonoi's personality change was dropped so easily, thanks to food no less. I was kind of enjoying the dynamic change with him acting like Don Momotaro. There's also lots of little things that make this episode better; the fact that Don Dragoku/Torabolt is still in pain from the last fight, the fact that Momotaro and the Donbura Owner aren't being completely honest, etc. The fact that the MOTW is based on DekaRanger means nothing, once again. But the real draw is the drama and the unexpected twist at the end of the episode. I was sad to see Kiji Brother's decent into evil end so shortly, and yet, here we are again~! He sold his friend up the river, all for Miho. And just who is Miho? Is she really Natsumi, a copy, or something else? Things are quickly not adding up, but I am loving these new story developments.

 Geats 08: Vanish the Ninja!  There is something awesome about seeing an evolved Kamen Rider Tycoon, even if it felt like watching a candle flicker wildly before going out. I don't fully understand why some citizens disappear permanently after a Jamato attack and why some don't. I am sure it was explained in one of the rules, but for now, it just seems random. I hate to see Tycoon go just as soon as we saw him at his best; hopefully he'll return in a future episode? Or maybe his sister instead? But let's talk about Ace's speech... He didn't have to make that specific speech, and yet Kamen Rider tends to do stuff like this, blurring the line between what is truly selfless and what is truly selfish. Ace/Geats wasn't wrong, but there is still something strange about calling the most selfless guy in the room selfish. Still in another subversion of expectations, Tycoon got his wish. In the end, they all worked together, even if it wasn't intentional. ...And don't think I missed that coin scene.

 MLP TYT 33: Pipp & The Giant Pumpkin!  I've seen others say how this episode is kind of scary. I don't scare so easily, but I get it, I can totally see why people would say that. Still, outside of the scary bits, this episode is actually REALLY solid! It could easily count as either a Halloween-themed episode or a Thanksgiving-themed episode since they mostly focus on the fall element. Zipp also confronted her sister about relying too much on social media in MYM Ch. 2, but this was done differently, and the way they had the two sisters reconcile was nice. About the only critique I could give is how none of Pipp's friends noticed she was missing. Maybe that's forgivable since this is suppose to be a comedy.

That's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and get ready for tricks and treats.

I have other videos in store, but this one popped up last minute, and it was just too funny not to share. The timing couldn't be more perfect! It's hilariously amazing what AI can make. This is "The First Horror Movie Written Entirely By Bots" by Netflix Is A Joke.
