What in the ever-loving _fuck?_

Hasn’t that fool done enough damage to his own work already by allowing _this_ bullshit to exist?

Now he’s got to ruin the dignity of his characters and whatever point there was in everything that happened in the Z series once again by making another embarrassment? When will it end?!

Goosebumps Episodes 1-5

Firstly, I think it’s important to say that this show isn’t gonna be for everyone especially if you have a specific expectation for a show revolving around an Anthology Based Book Series for Elementary School Kids.

What I can say is this show isn’t for that demographic, Goosebumps is a Young Adult Television Show with genuine moments of horror, violence, language, and suggestive themes. It revolves around a tragedy in the 90’s that leads to a later conspiracy in 2023.

Every episode has an mcguffin that leads to various spooky things happening within a small town where the core cast try to uncover what’s going on.

So far the show is a decent watch, it’s enjoyable at best but nothing to rave about too. The worst part of the show is simply the characters, but that’s cause the show flips between them constantly so the time we spend with them alone is very sparse. This leads to characters with limited personality and it’s essentially this.

The Varsity Athlete whose parents are depending on his future.

The Gay Best-friend who has a neglectful alcoholic mother.

The Outcast with an absent father and overbearing mother.

The Brains whose parents have a rocky marriage.

The Reckless Teen who lives with their single mother.

I think of the things that hammered that this show is targeted for an older audience is just the themes/imagery they have in the show.

- Murder
- Adultery
- Blood/Gore
- Suggestive Language
- Mental illness/Suicide

There was an instance where a character said fuck which caught me off guard at one point since cursing has been tame and boils down to stuff like Son-of-a-bitch.

Justin Longs performance is arguably the highlight of the show since he essentially plays two characters. Unfortunately you don’t spend a lot of time with his “first character” because plot reasons. Another downside is his performance is spread thin across the series so far so you don’t spend a whole lot of time with the character until the plot needs him to appear.

One big gripe I have with the show is simply the release decisions where they had a five episode premiere. It makes me question why they didn’t just release the entire season at once, but now we gotta wait five Fridays to see the final five episodes of Season one. I understand two episode premieres or spreading seasons across two parts. But dropping half a season at once and then drip feeding it across five weeks is different.

So in conclusion the show is a 7/10 at best.

So, _Smallville_ meets _Stranger Things_ for the adults who read Goosebumps as kids. Got it.

While the clip we got last month shows off a different pacing to dialogue scenes than the film (it’s very anime-like) we got the full trailer for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and the action looks WILD.

**WWOOOOOOO** can’t wait for this. Still so stunned at how perfect of a mix of the comics, movie, and game this is… The iconic Actors, Art, and Composers, all in one package.

Anyone seen Bodies on Netflix yet? I just burned through the entire thing in one night. It’s super interesting. I don’t want to give anything away but it’s a police procedural set in 4 time periods. I really liked it.

Yellowstone is a smooth and enjoyable watch. Nice horses, nicer cars, and the greatest scenery one could ever imagine.

Yellowstone is getting better and better as I watch forward. Reminds me of Mr. Robot in that sense.

Saw the first 2 episodes of Ubisoft’s Captain Lazerhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix animated series.

It’s a very fun, graphic, and silly series featuring a strange crossover of Ubi IP in a dystopian techno-future package.

The titular character is a cool, brooding cyborg dude who has a relationship with a really buff other dude (they really play up their gay romance in this show which is cool)

And after he’s kidnapped to be part of a Suicide-Squad-esque strike force doing covert missions for a mysterious organization, he’s joined by a version of Pay’j and Jade from Beyond Good and Evil (lmao they’re in a series before getting their sequel) and a cartoonish, french, bullfrog Assassin who can predict the future (he’s adorable I love his expressions).

There’s also appearances by Rayman as a TV Host and propogandist for the mega-conglomorate who controls the entire city, as well as a small twist on Far Cry 4 villain Pagan Min at one point.

There’s also plenty of other references to Ubisoft themselves and video games as a whole – the series has a cool anime-inspired style made by the studio Bobbypills, and features a few scenes that use old-fashioned pixel art in fun ways – either to show off an action scene as a platformer game, or a stealthy infiltration as a visual novel romance game to woo a guard…

It’s just campy, actiony stuff and is a fun watch so far!

I would like to think that show takes place before the Rayman dlc in Mario + rabbids sparks of hope in both that show and the dlc he is miserable and then like half way through the dlc he starts to cheer up acting like his normal self again also both the show and the dlc sort of just have him as a side character in sparks of hope specifically the villain is the character most people like mainly because of this [https://youtu.be/Nk1h-At5Bx0?si=vdwaU0oelQFfg6qY](https://youtu.be/Nk1h-At5Bx0?si=vdwaU0oelQFfg6qY)

Oh my GODDD

I just saw Loki S2 Episodes 4&5 and holy fuck this show is quickly cementing itself as one of the peak MCU content out there. And probably, for me, sci-fi in general.

Fantastic acting from the cast.  
Really shocking and terrifying moments of actual death and “theoretical death/nonexistence?”  
Some great special effects that overall Marvel has been shaky with recently.  
And some head-scratching but very interesting writing involving time-travel and how it works in the show’s current events!

I really don’t want to spoil anything, but wow, those were two really awesome episodes. Gonna savour that last one. Hope it sticks the landing.

I haven’t had a chance to watch anything Marvel-related since Endgame because the decision to kill off Tony Stark killed my wife’s support of the franchise and I don’t have means of accessing the rest of the franchise in isolation yet. Tell me, is this series actually taking one of the best _villains_ Marvel has in its slate, both MCU and the comics, and giving him a redemption arc and making him a hero? And why is a Norse god wearing a suit all the time in the images for this show? The time he spent on earth was one thing when he was blending in, but now you’ve got the primary antagonist of the Thor side of the franchise wearing a suit, traveling through time like Doctor Who and acting as a hero? Even if it’s good storytelling, it’s a terrible direction to take a character who was best used as a serious antagonist. And please don’t give me that _variant_ nonsense. Variants are what COVID has.
