Brain fart but for real?! It's time to play SCREENCAP AMONG US! Encore Edition.
I bet you weren't expecting this. Neither was I. And I'll be surprised if anyone actually participates in this one. I know some might not out of moral objection.

@Rising Dusk I know, right?! The first Equestria Girls movie had more stretch frames than we realize.
But that makes it easier for me. Stuff like that makes it easier to fool my followers.

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!
How goes it, my crowd?!
Sorry for posting this a day late; my schedule got interrupted and you'll understand why soon enough...
So obviously the biggest thing that happened in the previous week we just finished was that I celebrated my birthday!
And what a birthday it was. Got many gifts, and had a wonderful time over all. Perhaps one of the best birthday celebrations I've had in a while. And thank goodness I was healthy for it, because...
The day after, I got sick. A 24 hour, possibly food poisoning, sickness. I have no idea what caused it, and I probably never will.
It was terrible, but thankfully I recovered in almost no time.
During the week, I couldn't help but notice a strange drop in water pressure in the shower, and it got worse on the weekend. I was afraid of what it might be. I decided to take off the shower head and buy a new one. Thankfully, that fixed everything!
Yay for simple fixes! But it threw off everything I had planned... I was going to finish watching the end of Ducktales Season 3, but I ran out of time. Heck, by the time I finished watching tokusatsu, I didn't have time to post this Sunday night. So if you're wondering why this update is a day late, now you know.
Zenkaiger 29: The Game Was Fixed.
Huh, I almost got emotional for a robot bird... This episode played out mostly like filler, with the only big moment happening near the end with a new combining robot and everything else. Of course, the final fight was all CGI, a bit too much for my liking. I still think that much CGI does not belong in Tokusatsu, but if you did a tokusatsu anime in that style, it might be pretty epic!
Anyone else notice the sudden increase of trailers, mostly for DC properties?
That's it for now, my crowd.
Take care, and toot toot, sonic warriors.
Remember when the internet went crazy over that Mordecai x Twilight crack ship? Something about airplanes in the night sky? ...Yeah, this is better then all that. This is "MOVIN' RIGHT ALONG" by DeadlyComics.

Princess noticed me?!
(Art is a gift from @Midnight Danny)
Hey there, my crowd.
How are you?
I can officially say I have recovered from my sickness. I might still be taking it easy for the next few days in terms of what I can eat, but I am recovered. I had a lot of pep in my step and a ravenous appetite.
In case you haven't noticed, I am fully customized for Halloween/Nightmare Night! I've got a holiday appropriate banner, signature, and avatar! The banner I just recently finished. Sadly, it's not perfect, but it's as close as I'll be able to get. There are some monsters I couldn't add, and even if I could, I'd still feel like I was forgetting someone...
But for now, it's good enough to suit me.
Hope you are all doing your best to stay healthy. The changing seasons is hard on many of us.
Take care, my crowd.

COMING SOON... MAYBE: A NEW TUESDAY GAME!
I've just been feeling sick today, my crowd. So sick I had to call in sick and not report to work.
I hate that my birthday was followed up by this. Is it because of the change in seasons? Allergy season is back, I know that much.
I had a wonderful Birthday, though!
I got...
- New bed sheets
- The Gridman boxset
- 3 new shirts
- A month-long subscription to Nitro on Discord (Thank you so much @Stone Cold Steve Tuna, my bro!)
- Premium hygiene products
- Some new music
- And a TON of birthday wishes from my friends here at the forum!
Not to mention I ate my restaurant of choice (though it might no longer be my favorite, since COVID has severely limited the amount of food they have), and I got to have a fun day out on the town.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll feel a bit more healthy, I hope.
Take care, my crowd.

@TomDaBombMLP Well it's nice to see someone is.
Hopefully I'll be feeling much better by the end of the week.

Happy Birthday to me~
EDIT: If you're reading this just now, then it's past midnight and it's no longer my birthday. But even so, a big thanks to all who gave me birthday wishes.

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Red Edition.
[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]
Feel free to leave a song request. Your song will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!
Hi there, my crowd! For once, I am excited to bring the news of the week we just finished~
Chances are, you're seeing this on a Monday. Which means, it's my birthday!
But I all ready celebrated on Sunday, for the most part. My mother bought some gifts for me; the Gridman boxset and new bed sheets. One of my uncles got me some new music while the other got me some premium hygiene products. I didn't get to go out to my restaurant of choice, but I will be doing that Monday! Speaking of, I have Monday off! WOOHOO!!
This was suppose to be the week I got back into Ducktales, but since my birthday was coming up, I decided to take my time.
So, nothing for now, but I did see the movie. Speaking of, I've figured out which fansub group I'll be using to watch ReVice, if I ever choose to. Sad to say, but it will be IzuSubs. It really is them or no one. Genm Corp stopped at 4, and we're at 6 now. NAF was just repackaging old subs, and they're way behind too. While I hate IzuSubs' translation choices, it's going to be either them or no one. The ghost of TV-Nihon has risen to smite all of us in a time of tokusatsu uncertainty. Not to mention, I never did get any feedback on how I should feel regarding the costar. For now, the only way I can justify it is that I wouldn't be supporting him, but rather everyone else in Toei and Bandai.
Oh, and speaking of Ducktales... I saw DUCKTALES THE MOVIE (1990)! I've been watching the 2017 reboot, and I kind of hate that it ends after 3 seasons. That's less total episodes than the original series from 1987. I watched this movie wanting to make the ride last just a little bit longer, but what I got was something interesting. If all you've ever seen is the reboot and you want to dip your toes into the original, then this movie is for you. You'll get a glimpse of how much the characters have changed, catchphrases that were left behind, and a solid grasp of the tone of the original show. You won't get everything, like Magica or Gizmo Duck, but if you can stomach things like the 3 cousins' original voices, then you can definitely handle the old series. Interestingly, there is a character in this movie that appears in the reboot, and the reboot re-imagines him so much better, but I almost wish all these movie exclusive characters had appeared too. Oh, and as background detail, the kids own a computer! This came out in 1990, before it was popular to own Windows, before more modern versions of GUI's that you might recognize. Talk about accidentally having an eye for the future... Sorry, no promises for next time. We'll just see what happens next.
Zenkaiger 30: Villain Stole My Name!
All right, an episode worth talking about! From the moment I saw this villain's gun/cannon, I knew the Zenkaigers were going to get it. Also, I can't help feel that Hakaider (the villain from Kikaider) would be pissed that this new villain, Hakaiser, has a similar name. Do you think Toei is doing this on purpose? They own both franchises. I eagerly look forward to the next episode, but you know... Hakaiser's quirky personality seems oddly familiar...
That's all for now, my crowd.
Take care, and put a candle on the cake.
I honestly feel like rock is about to make a big come back in terms of mainstream popularity. Case in point, here's a fairly new band that's making some really epic music. This is my personal favorite, "Fire Away" by Dirty Honey. If you want more, you should totally check out their song "When I'm Gone".

(Art by DandyBouquet)
Hi there, my crowd.
Yesterday was a weird day. Dropped something heavy on my foot, but luckily I only gave myself a bruise. A minor annoyance; nothing major.
But today, I had the best day ever!
I got to spend time with my mother, and she bought me two awesome gifts because... Well, you'll understand why in the next day or two.
I might be getting Monday off, and if I'm lucky, I'll get to eat at my favorite restaurant tomorrow. Of course, any place would be fine, really.
Take care, my crowd.

THE 2nd PLACE WINNERS ARE: @Flying Pencil
I wish there could have been more this time around, especially considering this was the last Screencap Among Us game. I decided to end it in a way that was easier than usual because I thought that would mean more people chiming in to give the winning answers. Maybe some time later, I'll tag all the people that played along.
Thank you everyone for making this game fun and worthwhile.
Take care, my crowd.

@TomDaBombMLP Thank you. I'm not sure if there will be something next...

I would like to do a NEW game, but I'm at a loss for ideas.

(Art by Skrayp)
What's up, my crowd?
Did everyone have a good Smile Day?
Yesterday, I saw the Ducktales movie from the original series. Gotta say, very interesting. Not much different than the reboot, but the little differences make a huge impact. The original is just written like a silly cartoon with endless hijinks. The reboot is written like an actual story, but never goes too far away from its roots. So basically, if you can handle this movie, you're ready for the original series.
Also, I made a signature for the major holiday this month. What do you think?
Next, I'll be making a spoopy banner~!
Take care, my crowd.

Green redemption~
How goes it, my crowd?
Just a normal Monday for me. I did find an interesting recipe for a beef pie, so I am definitely going to try that soon.
I'm gonna watch the Ducktales movie from the original TV series. I know, it won't be the same. Even so, I want to make the adventures last as long as I can. I get the feeling I am going to miss the reboot.
Take care, my crowd.

I'm glad. You know, I was genuinely enjoying a lot of things about Voyager. But the ending was so forced, it really lost a few points because of that.
I'm not use to having people want my cooking. It really makes me feel appreciated.
...Note to self, buy more pie crusts, buy more onions and bell peppers, and be sure to give Silky the first slice...

I could tell also a lot of mixed feelings/opinions and feeling I have about Voyager. So much felt a wasted chances but it was still proper ald real Star Trek to me and there are some really good episodes in it :>

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!
Tug boat. Toot toot. 🚢 Another week over. Let's talk about it, shall we my crowd?
To complete the makeovers, Orange Edition will now have Sunset Shimmer orange and Twilight Sparkle purple.
I was going to call that the most important thing that happened this week, but then that Shin Kamen Rider trailer dropped, and OMG that shot-for-shot remake~! I'm drooling. Now if only there was a drool emoji...
Speaking of, it's not all good news... 5 episodes have passed. I've been avoiding watching the show Kamen Rider ReVice until this moment. This is where I should be making a choice on which fansub group to support, but I just found out some bad news about Kamen Rider ReVice. It seems the costar, the one playing Vice, made a racist post on Twitter a long time ago.
It's been recently deleted, but that's all. No context about why was ever given. No apology nor any acknowledgement was ever made. And this is not just some random background actor; this is the costar, the one that shares the spotlight with the main star. Right now, he's just a voice actor. There is a chance that, if this was happening in America, the actor might get recast by someone with a similar voice, but nothing like that seems to be happening. And now I'm sitting on the sidelines trying to figure out what to do. Do I watch the show anyways? Do I skip an anniversary series? I'm so lost and confused... I really don't want to support this actor. I mean, if I'm pirating episodes, then I'm not really supporting anyone regardless. Still, this makes it a lot harder for me to watch ReVice now... I was looking forward to this, and now I'm left trying to make a tough choice.
Sorry I don't have anything else to report. This week did not go the way I thought, and my rhythm has been thrown off. I was suppose to watch Ducktales S3. I got through half of it, but not all. Movies are piling up too. Shang-Chi, Venom 2, and I still need to see at least 1 episode of the new CGI He-Man series on Netflix.
Zenkaiger 29: The Game Was Fixed.
Can't say I expected to see a Prince of Tennis tribute episode. Other then that, this episode is the height of boring. The Tojitendo no longer feel like a threat. All I can say is that the next episode is making big promises; so I hope they can deliver.
That's it for now, my crowd.
Take care, and get ready for spoops.
I just can't help it. You GOTTA see this trailer! They suit is new, but it's made so very similar to the original. And the shot-for-shot remake... Someone had better do a side-by-side comparison video soon. They even have alternating shots of different motorcycles. I thought Shin Kamen Rider was suppose to be an anime! And I hear the director is the same guy that made Evangelion? Whatever this is, it cannot come out fast enough. This is the 1st Shin Kamen Rider trailer.

Once again, not many participants. I really hope that changes next week, because it's going to be the last time we play this game... Or is it?! Yeah, probably is.
All good things must eventually reach their finale. Next week, we'll play the Twenty-Sixth Episode Edition.

When I find myself in times of trouble...
How goes it, my crowd?
Had a scare earlier. Rain was coming down SUPER hard. Had hail, and there was a flood warning.
I'm noticing that if you don't completely hate it, the G4 movie is one of those movies that does get better the more you watch it. Especially the music.
SpoilerNot a big fan of "Danger, Danger (Angry Mod)", but I like the Nirvana riff and the White Stripes imagery. Only some people will get what I'm saying. "Glowin' Up" does nothing for me. I'm too preoccupied watching the story play out, and it ends up just sounded like a generic pop song; but it does have a subtle disco flow that I like.
However, "Gonna Be My Day". Has anyone noticed that the main beat is imitating a galloping sound? That's awesome.
And "Gonna Fit Right In" is a real jam. I even like the little rap in the middle. "I'm Looking Out For You" is good, but for some reason, it leaves me wanting more. "It's Alright" is a bit more mellow, but I like the Tropical/Hispanic feel to the song. As an insert song rather than a character-sung song, it's interesting that it doesn't have a stronger presence. And "Together" makes a wonderful closing song. I would not mind owning a physical copy of this soundtrack.
Tagging for spoilers, obviously.
But so far, my week has been very uneventful. I feel like I had something to talk about, but I can't even remember what it was~ Maybe the weekend will be a bit more active.
Take care, my crowd.

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Red Edition.
[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]
Feel free to leave a song request. Your song will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!
Hi there, my crowd! Would have posted this yesterday, but the forum went down before I could.
Shall I share my summary of the previous week?
First of all, NEW LOOK!
What do you think? For bullet points, we're going Big Mac Red and Celestia Pink. You'll have to wait 'til next week to see what Orange Edition looks like.
Two amazing things dropped over the internet; Netflix' first look at live action Cowboy Bebop, and a Nintendo Direct that revealed the cast for the upcoming animated Super Mario movie. The latter has the internet in a hilarious uproar, which means this HAS to happen now! It's the best kind of buzz.
But the former? Not to so much. For me, I had mixed feelings. I liked half of what I saw, was concerned with the rest. Still, the fact that the internet isn't crazy alive over Cowboy Bebop really says something.
In preparation for what's new, I took a look at the last of what's old. I saw all of PONY LIFE.
All I can say is; it's not made for fans of G4. Not sure who it was made for, but it wasn't made for us. It was soulless, yet oddly well researched, filler. It was made to sell toys, it was made to hold of over for the next big thing. Which would be exactly what I saw...
I saw MY LITTLE PONY: A NEW GENERATION (G5)! No spoilers obviously, too soon for that. All I can say is, if you are going to watch it, then let the movie speak for itself. Don't come into it with questions about how it connects to G4. It would have been better on its own, and the movie really wanted to tell its own story anyways. And on its own, it's actually a pretty good movie. It's weighed down by it's connection to G4, but it's still good. I just hope that the TV series will be even better than the movie! One can only hope. Next time, I'm going to see the last season of Ducktales 2017! ... Also, how long before we can talk about the G5 movie without having to worry about spoilers? When the TV show drops?
In lesser news, the hat I ordered came in.
It's a hat with a paint-splatter pattern on it. The hat is a little smaller than I thought it would be. Maybe it was made for female heads after all. But it still fits, and I like it! So I'll be glad to wear it just as often.
Zenkaiger 28: Non-Stop, Turn The Page.
Well, I am disappointed that Kaito/Zenkaiser wasn't reunited with his mother this episode. Guess we're in it for the long haul. Other then that, it's just a basic filler episode focused on manga. Stuff like this makes me wish Tokusatsu manga was translated more often, but that's just not the case in the fan community. The focus is the shows.
That's all for now, my crowd.
Take care, and love thy pony.
This song comes care of my friend @ShadOBabe, who apparently has more amazing taste in music than I expected! I have no idea how this song came to be or why, but I am glad it exists. What happens when you combine Caribbean rap with samples from C+C Music Factory's hit 90's song "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"? You get this interesting little dance floor number. This is "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" by Bob Sinclar (feat. Dollarman, Big Ali, Makedah).

Party with a princess!
(Art by Jrenon)
What a monster of a weekend, my crowd!
First off, SO much has been revealed. The cast of the Super Mario movie has been announced, and we got our first look at the Netflix live action Cowboy Bebop. One of these might just make you laugh your butt off! The other, well if you're like me, you might have mixed feelings about it.
SpoilerAnd in other news... I saw the G5 movie!
It was... Okay. I clearly don't love it as much as others do, but I can see why everyone loves it.
So if you're going to watch it, please don't be like me. Let the new generation speak for itself. Watch it as if this new generation is its own thing. Don't get hung up on its connection to G4.I went into this wanting some questions answers; questions relating to G4. I'll put it behind a spoiler tag for now.
If you're going to talk spoilers, please put it in a spoiler tag so that's hidden.Spoiler- Is it good?
- It's all right. It has good moments. There's a feel-good happy ending. However... I have many issues with it, but those issues are because this movie is trying to do two things at once. They are trying to provide some pandering to G4 fans; but mostly this movie is trying to do its own thing, therefore it leaves so many questions the G4 continuity unanswered, which weighs the movie down a little. They probably just wanted to have a passing-the-baton moment, but I don't think it worked as well as they think it does.
- Were the male characters portrayed well?
- ABSOLUTELY YES! Best part of the new gen. We have an earth stallion as part of the main group, and he actually contributes! He's not just the token male, nor is he a useless idiot for the movie to dump on. He's actually competent! It takes a moment for Hitch to come around, but that's because he was torn between two mindsets. Sprout, sadly, was the worse; but considering the life he grew up into, you totally understand why. I wish the red pony could have been a better character, but you totally understand why he fell from grace, and maybe he could redeem himself in the series! We even saw a fatherly stallion and strong, intimidating stallion.
- Is G4 canon?
- I think it is? I was willing to consider the toys and everything else of Twilight & Friends a coincidence, but the Pegasi had an old Wonderbolts poster. Kind of makes it harder to call it a coincidence at that point...
- Are the G4 ponies based on FIM or Pony Life?
- I think they are mostly based on FIM, but it's hard to tell. Twilight mentioned something about going on an adventure, and that's not usually what they did in FIM? Yes, they did go on adventures, but mostly out of duty and importance. The Pony Life ponies cared more about adventure for adventure sake. But whatever! The animation for them was good, their dialogue was based on a childhood story, and therefore I can shrug off the odd parts and pretend I'm seeing the actual Mane Six one last time.
- Did they answer what happened to Twilight and everything that happened during her rule as princess?
- No, not really. This is both sad and good. I REALLY wanted this movie to answer everything. There is still a chance that the upcoming TV show could, but leaving everything unanswered makes it harder for me to recommend this movie and the series. The writers will really have to prove they understand the old material, and I fear they don't. From the books about Twilight and her friends all the way to the non-pony races that came together in peace, there is just too much stuff missing in action for the 3 pony races to be THIS divided, even if hundreds of years have passed. How is it only one Earth pony, Sunny's dad, was able to do some research and discover the truth? What made all the races turn their backs on history in the first place? Where are the other races?
- Would this movie have worked better as its own thing instead of a continuation of G4?
- Yes; absolutely so. They invented something new, the crystals of the 3 pony races. Uniting them and the three pony races brought magic back to the world, and it could help explain the reason why magic is abundant in all of Equestria. More then that, I love how this new gen shows that even an Earth pony can potentially become an alicorn. Corporeal wings & horn FTW! However, because this story is picking up long after the events of G4, it just has a harder time standing on its own. It would have been so much better if it was just its own thing. In fact, you could have EASILY changed some key details and it would have still been the same movie. You could have changed the Wonderbolts poster to something else. Sunny's toys could have been generic Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn toys. The appearance of Twilight's cutie mark could have been a nice little coincidence!
- Hopes for the TV series?
- Where do I begin? I want them to really answer all the questions, to neatly tie up every loose end and tell us how the world went from the end of G4 to hundreds of years later in G5. However, if this movie is any example of how things will go, I imagine the TV series will want to do its own thing as well, and we'll be lucky if they mention G4 in passing at best. This is not the energy you want to have if you are trying to bring old fans into the new generation. So now I feel like I'm back to square one. I am just as curious about the TV series as I was about the movie. I want to know more, but this time, I am cautiously curious. I am not super thrilled about the TV series; and that's sad because I should be; because this movie should have MADE me thrilled about it.
But that's all I have to say. The movie was fun, some of the songs were good, and I really like Hitch, Sunny, and Izzy. Zipp is okay too. They'll be the best parts of the next TV show, for sure.
Take care, my crowd!

I liked the movie. It’s not G4, not even close, but it was enjoyable.
SpoilerThat said I really didn’t like the unanswered questions it left us with. I’m gonna be patient because I feel like they did so intentionally for the show coming out, but if they don’t answer the questions in the show either then I won’t like it at all.
So whether I continue to like G5 or not depends on how they go about this in the future.

wise choice @AppleButt ! now we lurk!

Thank you for using the spoiler tag.
SpoilerI thought the ending was fine, but I do wonder how it'll play out in the TV series. I do have some theories, but I'm holding back for now. And sorry the intro with the Mane Six was cut off.
Maybe they will be mentioned a few more times in the TV show, if we are lucky.
Hello, my friend! And yes it is.
Crazy to think that tea was discovered by accident.\
Indeed it is. The stage is set, and the players are ready.
I am glad we have similar thoughts, my friend. But more importantly, I am glad you enjoyed the movie more than me.
