I am currently watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time since I was like 12 years old, and only now do I realize how many subtleties and great story elements I missed out on as a child. Yes, as a child, I loved the series for being a fun adventure with a very charming cast of lead characters, but as an adult, I … Continue reading Zuko x Jin – The Romance That Could Have Been

I’m sure everybody and their mother has reviewed this movie to death already, so instead of talking about the movie’s amazing visuals, soundtrack and script like everybody probably already has in much greater detail, I’ll instead choose to focus on one of the most crucial themes of not only the movie, but the Spider-Man mythos in general.

(Mid-Season Impressions)
This year was a lot less controversial than the absolute panderfest that was the past two years, but it still feels very weird and pandering in completely different ways. For starters,it felt like it pandered to both the mainstream crowd and niche crowd but ccouldn’t meet the middle road, leading to two awards feeling like it’s from two completely different panels. Today, let’s assume what … Continue reading A Breakdown Of The Crunchyroll Awards 2019 Winners (And Why Half of Them Are Wrong Again)
That’s exactly what happened and you know it. I know Aladdin had a bad trailer,but the fact that they released this means that they REALLY wanted to clear the air and get some good will back in the audience’s minds. So here’s some Frozen 2: This is probably the best kind of teaser trailer,primarily because it’s actually a teaser that’s showcasing the progression of animation … Continue reading Disney Broke The Emergency Sequel Glass Because Aladdin’s Gonna Suck
I’m sorry,I KNOW I said today would be a weekly anime recap in yesterday’s post,but after seeing this travesty,I just HAD to talk about it. What travesty,you ask? Well.
