  1. I have a special announcement to make, I’ve chosen a name for my OC and I would like to introduce you all to Peppermintchoc Vanillatwist.

    Thank you for her, @bubbleteapony.

      Nice name, sounds similar to the name of a certain unicorn with broken horn...

    Hi there, my crowd! 2030009.gif Why is this weekly summary late? ... I forgot. Sorry!

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png Nothing major happened in the week we just finished, other than Daylight Savings. Curse this wretched tradition... :yeahno:

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png There were some trailers dropped, but nothing worth talking about too much. Somehow Megamind got a sequel and a TV show without me knowing about it. I heard it's terrible. But the biggest news was the unexpected passing of Akira Toriyama. :blush: I won't echo my thoughts more than I've stated before. We all know his legacy is immortal. Still, I hope Japan does something amazing to honor him.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png BoonBoom 01: We're All Cranked-Up & Ready To Go! 2jN16is.png Well, this was definitely a mixed salad of sorts! Based on the heroes, I get the feeling that this show may be story driven. Some comedy, sure, but it won't be enough to cripple or hold back the main storyline. If that's true, then it's spiritually similar to TurboRanger without directly copying. The monsters definitely have the same energy as the ones from CarRanger. The giant fight had the same energy as Go-Onger. Furthermore, I am surprised how they managed to fit so much into the first episode! This how you make 23 minutes feel like an hour. But before I get too attached, I need to see at least one more episode...

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png BoonBoom 02: Take a Rad Right. 2jN16is.png There's not much more to say than what I did last time. This episode simply explores what the BoonBoomgers do as civilians and what kind of status quo we can expect from the show. No time for story, so it's really hard to say how much more we should expect. They really just go full-speed ahead with the story; you either keep up or get left behind. For now, I will say thank you to the fansubs for calling them Boon Red/Blue/Pink instead of going for all the different romanizations of “Buun”. And while I have seen this combination before, I am glad that BoonBoomger is cementing the idea of Red, Blue, and Pink as the main three rather than Red, Blue, and Yellow like we've seen a million times. Lastly, I am glad the show is taking its time introducing the other two rangers. Sure, the ED theme kind of gives it away, but the fact they are taking their time makes me feel like there is plenty to stick around for.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png Gotchard 24: Remember to Forget! W110H8u.png Yep. Mark this one as a bad episode. It commits the sin of the “How We Got Here” trope. Showing us a glimpse of the third act did NOTHING to enhance the experience other than give us spoilers; therefore it's a sin. When we get to the third act that was teased at the beginning, it just becomes a cliffhanger, therefore our reward for going through this episode was practically nothing. Another sin of storytelling. Worst of all, it's a clipshow. Now I normally say a clipshow is fine if you also throw in some new lore or story information, anything that makes the plot feel like it's still progressing forward. They ALMOST did that! They almost explained something about their professor-turned-traitor. But the story intervened before that could happen, so we got NOTHING! They dangled a plot thread over us for nothing. They're saving all the good stuff for the next episode. Another sin. Strike three. You're out!

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png Gotchard 25: Steamy Results! W110H8u.png Part of me expected them to use the Warptera card to warp over to the Academy and take their cards back. Did not happen, but okay. However, I did not expect Rinne's father to just reappear! Kind of random and anticlimactic. Hope there is a story to explore there. We almost got the professor back, but that didn't happen either. Gotta say, I don't mean to bash anyone's mental trauma, but the professor is kind of an idiot if he really has internalized the death of his classmate and blamed himself. It clearly wasn't his fault, it was Geryon. I was kind of expecting more out of this reveal. The show made it look like Geryon tried to gaslight the professor into that internalized blame, but the execution was weak. They really should have played up the manipulation element. Perhaps if we hadn't wasted time on a flashback episode, there would have been more time to flesh that backstory out.

    That's it for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and rev up.

    Yeah, don't focus too much on the lyrics for this one, just focus on the vibe. I swear, they might have meant to, but the melody sounds so oriental. Am I the only one that hears it? Do you? Not to be connect to the old movie with the same name, this is "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" by Mike + The Mechanics.

      @Props Valroa

      It may seem like just a random fact from the show, but for me it's important, because it's the first sign that she's not just a sidekick of Diamond Tiara. There's more to her than that...

      Also, for those who watch Elements of Justice, I love her character arc is case 2!

    Why is this weekly summary late? Ask yourself, ask your mom, ask DNA. 2030006.gif Let's get into it, my crowd.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png The biggest thing that happened in the previous week was a celebration!! :pinkie: Earlier in the week, my uncle had a cancer scare. However, the test results came back, and he is officially cancer-free! So happy for my uncle.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png And to be honest, the reason why this post was late is because I saw two movies. :please: Threw off my schedule.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png But first, time to talk about trailers I saw! :lookup: First, there were 2 BoonBoomger trailers. The first was way too CGI heavy, but the other had more practical effects. Still, feels like they are following in Kiramager's footsteps. Sonic fans are eating good with trailers for Sonic the Movie 3 and Sonic x Shadow Generations! The hype is real and I am here for it. Saw another trailer for Ghostbusters Frozen Empire; and this looks even more like the classic spirit of the Ghostbusters than the last movie! Yu-Gi-Oh released some kind of promotional anime short, but it just made me want to see a mixed genre fantasy anime based on the monsters of the game. I think everyone felt the same! Lastly, I saw the last trailer for MOTU Revolution, and... I'm gonna do it! I will be watching MOTU Revolution real soon!

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png [ 1 / 2 ] MOVIE TIME! icon?1379626399 I recently saw Blue Beetle! Not sure why people are calling this one a bomb. It seems to be getting a mostly positive reception. The story was pretty solid. I rather enjoyed this movie! I was really expecting it to be terrible, but it had heart and pretty good story telling. Most negatives I have are nitpicks. From what I understand, audiences hate it because superhero fatigue and some predictable story elements. I don't go off of that; my fatigue only hits when the story is bad, and this one actually had a good story. For the most part, it's only uncle Rudy and Carapax that get the shaft in this. There is clearly something with Rudy's backstory that we aren't getting, and Carapax's backstory was glossed over way too fast. Again, it's still a good movie, but some elements could have used more screen time. If they had been flushed out more, it would have turned a good movie into a great movie. But for what it is, it's still pretty good. I just don't know if we'll be getting sequel to this or not.

For the most part, I think this movie succeeded where the previous Captain Marvel movie failed; by giving us characters that are more enjoyable to watch. Personally, that's all I wanted. However, there are some minor bad things that should not be ignored. The story is not told chronologically at first, so that can be annoying to some. We are only getting half a story, since the rest is told in flashbacks. Makes me wonder if the audience needs to see any of the miniseries to be fully caught up, like the Ms. Marvel series or Secret Invasion. I've not heard super positive things, but if these shows are going to be canon, then this is the trade-off.  And while it does hold a positive audience reception on Rotten Tomatoes, it's still considered the worst Marvel movie so far. Lastly, I liked the post-credits scene, but the pre-credits scene just doesn't really inspire me. I feel like it's too little, too late to try and retread the Avengers recruitment. So balance the positive with the negative, and this movie is just... average. I fear the MCU is not doing so good right now.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png King-Ohger 46: Life Unbalanced! R9NrtBD.png This is the sign of truly good writing. They can take a detail you previously dismissed and suddenly make it a very big deal while still complimenting the main story. It almost makes you wonder how they didn't think about Jeremie/Kumonos' extra long lifespan sooner. The Yellow Ohger made the right call, even if it had an unexpected consequence. However, watching the two of them share a sunset, fighting back tears... It's moments like these that make me afraid of what the next season after has in store.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png Gotchard 20: Spanning Hatred. W110H8u.png This episode had me in the first half, but lost me in the second. This song and dance is kind of repetitive now. We know that being a Malgum is messing with Spanner's thinking. We know he'll be set free. We know he'll eventually turn into a Rider since the new OP sequence kind of spoils that for us. I just wish this wasn't happening all at once. They could have done a better job of slowly building up to this. The execution of these story beats could have been done better. Still, kind of interesting that both childhood Ichinose/Gotchard and childhood Spanner saw things they shouldn't have, intertwining them into their destinies.

    That's it for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and don't let fatigue champion you.
