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!   

I am beginning to think I should just call these Monday Updates.  Let's get into this long overdue summary, my crowd.

 I guess the biggest thing I did was help clear my mother clear out here garage.  We both found a tool that we wanted to keep, found a lot of things we wanted to throw away, and some other hidden treasures too. It was a lot of work, but worth it.

 Two movie trailers came out recently.  I am really hoping Beetlejuice 2 will be worth the wait; the casting is all ready great. I nave no hopes for the franchise anymore, but Alien Romulus does look somewhat promising.

 [ 1 / 2 ] Faiz 20th: Paradise Incomplete.  The original Kamen Rider Faiz TV show will always hold a special place in my heart as the first Rider show that I ever saw from start to finish. I know it wasn't perfect, but I was hoping this movie would be the epic little cherry on top. And who knows where it would go since Dive and Zi-O have really messed with Faiz's continuity over the years. Instead, this movie ended up being a mixed bag. Not terrible, but not perfect. It's held back by plot-holes, ruining Mari's character arc, and a desire to make the movie a sort-of rehash of the best plot-points of the TV show.

 [ 2 / 2 ] It mostly picks up where the TV show left off instead of acknowledging anything else (mostly). And based off the ending, it seems they are setting up for more Faiz material after this movie. If we get it, and the next entry into Faiz explains all the plot-holes, then hooray! But you never want to end a movie this way, especially when it could be your last. Still, there were some great upsides. We got an awesome PA about the dangers of AI. The female Rider, Rena/Muez, easily was the most interestingly complex character. (Practically a female Kaixa.) Kaido/Snake Orphnoc finally became best character. Delta was not forgotten. And best of all, it manages to redeem Takumi's character after it had been ripped to shreds in Drive.

 BoonBoom 03: Is It Time, Rangers?  Can't say anything positive or negative here. It's just a standard episode, but they did debut a new weapon for the BoonBoom Robo. Also, I can see they are setting up the story for the 5th member.

 Gotchard 26: Fantasy Finale?!  It's the epic premier of Rinne/Majade's father as a Kamen Rider Wind! And I hate to see him defeated just as fast as he was introduced, but he went out like a boss. And he might not be dead! That might have just been a fake out death. I think that was an alchemy-made double. Guess we'll see. Just seems weird to bring back a great character with even greater powers, just to kill him off before he can explain anything.

 Gotchard 27: Pressed in Plantinum!  Now this was a great episode. Geryon is defeated. Gotchard has become Platinum Gotchard. The Chemies are back. I bet even Spanner has a new outlook on the Chemies as well! ...Oh, and the professor is back. He just is. Kind of lame, but I'm not letting it detract from this otherwise great episode. And to think, we're only a little halfway done with this series. What more is there to tell?

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and see the sights.

This is one time where the specific video does not matter. I've just been enjoying these shorts by Justice Buys. Not all of the items they list are great, but some are inspiring and could make all the difference in your everyday life.
