I really do feel very sorry for Henry Cavill who left his role on Netflix's Witcher series, confirmed that he was returning to play Clark Kent/Superman a few months ago and then only told by James Gunn and Peter Safran that he is no longer playing Superman which really sucks for him.

I know that James Gunn has been brought in to reboot the entire DC universe franchise and whilst I do acknowledge that he is a good filmmaker, I'll reserve my judgement on how he does as a CEO.

Decided to watch "Cool Runnings" on Disney+ for the very first time and overall , I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Nowadays, it is very uncommon to see sports-based films as of today. But I can pretty much understand why "Cool Runnings" is a classic which is loosely inspired by the Jamaican bobsleigh team that made its debut during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. The performance of the cast is very likable in which they were able to act in character and the biggest plus of "Cool Runnings" is that it is able to convey and craft a story that is meaningful and engaging whilst keeping with the entertainment value.

My overall rating: 8/10

Someone on Twitter still does not acknowledge Miles Morales is a Spider-Man, I really wonder did they acknowledged what the late Stan Lee once said regarding to the web-slinging hero's creation:


I acknowledge that Miles Morales is a Spider-Man, just like how I consider the likes of Ben Reilly, Miguel O'Hara as well as Peter Parker himself as a Spider-Man.

Guess England is not coming home with the World Cup trophy. Hard luck to the players and especially to Harry Kane.

Hearing what is going on with DC films doing a full reboot of their slate is almost like watching Thanos snapping everything away from existence.

Either ways, I do feel that a reboot was bound to be coming for the DC cinematic films (even though at the same time, it can be quite a risk), but I guess we will have to wait and see what James Gunn and David Safran have in store.

My thoughts on the Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Season 2)

Although I actually quite enjoyed the first season that gave characters a good amount of shine and development, I just felt that the second season had really missed its mark. The second season could had done with a few extra episodes to cover further build-up within its story and letting the characters gain further growth but instead the writers had completely rushed the entire plot from beginning to the end that led to a rather messy concept and lack of focus on what it wants to tell to audiences.

It can be argued that without Gordon Bombay, the second season really lacks the spark that the first season had.

After I expressed my disappointment of the first season to Netflix's the Iron Fist, I decided to give the second season a watch and here are my thoughts.

Overall, the second season is miles better than the first in which it addressed the criticisms that the first season had. Despite some areas that would still have room for improvement in terms of parts of the story and Davos' character, the fight scenes, pacing and Danny Rand, Colleen Wing and Ward Meachum were given personalities in which they were much better in the second season.

Although it was a shame that all of the Netflix Marvel series were cancelled and since the properties were handed back to Marvel Studios. We had already seen Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onforio retained their respective roles within MCU projects and hopefully more of those who were on the Netflix shows could be retained in the future.

Even though this is the first time I ever got to watch the Wales national football team in the World Cup finals, they should be proud of what they had achieved having made their second appearance since 1958.

Although the results did not go their way, I just hope the boys will take lessons learned from the World Cup and now shift their attention to the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Decided to give the first series of Netflix's Iron Fist (based on the Marvel Comics) a watch and I can pretty much see why it was heavily panned by critics and fans alike.

The story was set at a rather slow pace especially within its first couple of episodes where it took a while to eventually get going, the acting from some of its cast was mediocre, some of the characters lacked a bit of development and growth especially with Harold Meachum, the dreadful fight choreography and having Scott Buck to helm the project was a recipe for disaster.

Rest in peace, Jason David Frank.

Sometimes, I really don't understand why some people think that in order for a film to be a box office success, it needs to do over $1 billion which isn't entirely true.

After many ups and downs, Ash is finally crowned as a champion!

Whenever I see the term "Mastodon", it reminds me of this:

So I watched Black Adam last night with an open mind (being wary of the critic and audience reviews) and I was left rather disappointed by the outcome.

Just managed to finish watching Black Adam and well........I'm currently gathering my thoughts and will try my best to be very honest when I try to give my review tomorrow.

So I watched some random Youtube channel where he claimed that the ticket sales for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever caused ticket websites to crash is a way to generate fake interest.

I completely disagree with this take. Does this Youtube channel not know about how the sales for Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home that just like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever caused ticket sites to crash? If the tickets were in high demand, this would cause high volumes of online traffic. High enough to cause websites to crash.

If the ticket sales were very high in demand for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that caused the website to crash, this means there is a lot of generated interest and therefore it is not faked.

There had been quite a lot of discussion in regards to Hellena Taylor-Bayonetta 3 situation lately where she did not reprise her role due to a fallout with her and Platinum Games over a pay dispute where she only recieved a lowly $4000 (£3500 in UK currency.)

I will say it was very brave to break her NDA to share her side of the story which comes at a time when the game is due to be released this month and she deserves a sum that is fair and respectful to her talent (which takes many years to develop and work on.) I wonder how will Platinum Games respond to her claims?

After watching the first episode of the "Thousand Year Blood War", I'm just glad BLEACH makes its return.

So far I am liking the animation and visuals within the Super Mario animated film which looks stunning. As for Mario's voice, well......I'll reserve my judgement on that for some other time.

Could pretty much imagine what's going to happen once Deadpool and Wolverine are going to create mayhem.

I see some complaints saying that a launch roster of 18 is small and they expect a minimum of 20 characters to be in their satisfactory number.

It does make me wonder whether to those who complain, have they not seen the launch rosters for Guilty Gear Strive and Samurai Shodown that also have a smaller number of around 15-16 to begin with?

Someone on Youtube, "Agatha House Of Harkness No One Asked For So Just Cancel It Disney."

Me: Does this Youtube channel not understand how popular Agatha Harkness is amongst fans especially with this scene:

I do feel that this message from the late Stan Lee needs to be reminded to everyone.

As someone who had eaten fish and chips for a long time, I personally wouldn't mind having squid as an alternative (since I do like eating calamari.)

I could see this happen at some point in the future.

And this is why review sites need to do more to monitor and prevent those whose only objective is to review bomb on something that they have no interest in or does not fit within their narrative.

Its really strange and rather sad to see a load of new accounts on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB that are highly suspicious in which their primary objective is to review-bomb on a film or tv show that does not fit within their narrative and agenda. Sometimes, you can view the user's profile to see what films or tv shows they had reviewed in which this does make it easier to decide whether they are reliable or not.

If anything, I think Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB need to find a solution to counter and get rid of those who only made a new account just to review-bomb.

Having watched all six episodes of Tekken: Bloodline which is available on Netflix and here are my thoughts:

"A channel with passionate opinions that aren't paid off like most critics."

I never really understand why and where do some people get the idea that critics are being paid for giving good or bad reviews or opinions unless they only say that because what they said disagrees with their views?

Here is my review for "I am Groot" that was on Disney+:

So Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav laid down his plan for DC Universe within 10 years in a similar concept inspired by Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige.

This is highly ambitious for the DC Universe and Warner Bros. Discovery to utilise a similar formula that the Marvel Cinematic Universe built for many years which is not always easy to emulate considering that this requires an awful lot of time, construction, planning and patience to create a future set-up of events. The success of this concept enabled them to bring in more newer superheroes that the audience were not aware of from the likes of Ant-Man, Black Panther, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Shang Chi etc.

I was watching the Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe on Disney+ (which I recommend) and it clearly showed how well each film were able to lay an egg within its sequences that eventually led to its main course within the Avengers and the Age of Ultron.

The cancellation of Batgirl did come as quite a surprise and I felt like this was a hugely missed opportunity to introduce to a new audience. As I said before that I do feel very sorry to those who were attached to the project that was on the verge of completion only to notified that their work is not going ahead in the most horrible way. But what baffled me is the way Zaslav delivered his reasoning for the cancellation in which his statement was to "protect DC brands" within their new strategy. If Batgirl was not part of their strategy, how does something like the Flash in which its main star had already caused a lot of controversy is still being protected?

In addition, it is not just Batgirl that faced the axe, but the sequel to Scoob which was meant to air on HBO Max had a similar fate as like Batgirl was also cancelled. It is not known which other films/tv shows that could also face the chop by Warner Bros. Discovery at this time. However, this move is bound to alienate a lot of their creative talent who put a lot of time, hard work and effort spent on these projects only to be canned and may potentially put off others from working with Warner Bros. Discovery in the future.

This panel was taken place during last year's DC Fandome. To see Leslie Grace, the directors Adil and Billal and writer Christine Hodson talking about their hype and enthusiasm for the Batgirl film at the time and then to see Warner Bros take away all of that even though it wasn't very far off from completion, its just a terrible way to everyone involved that they will not be able to share their hard work, creativity, vision and excitement with everyone.

I just hope all those that were affected by this will find much better opportunities elsewhere.

I will possibly give about my thoughts on the entire Batgirl cancellation and why I feel Warner Bros. Discovery's 10 year plan for the DC universe is very ambitious in contrast to Marvel Studios' cinematic universe for my next discussion.

I really do feel sorry for everyone that put so much hard work and effort in to the Batgirl film, only to see it canned by Warner Bros.

The cast, directors and the production crew all deserve better.

I guess not even the Sony Pictures CEO could remember what character Bad Bunny is playing within their Spider-Man cinematic universe.

I found a Youtube channel that called itself "Loserfilm." That kind of reminds me of someone who thought "Taserface" was a good name:

I personally would not mind this. After all, it has been a long while since Marvel Studios revealed their current projects two years ago and it is time for more information to surface at this year's San Diego Comic-con.

I could see them save a number of unrevealed projects for D23.

Even though I consider the Virtua Fighter and Street Fighter II V as one of my favourite animated fighting game series, Tekken Bloodline looks interesting although the use of lighting and shadows (the same triangular shading on the characters) look a bit odd for some reason.

United Kingdom weather right now is like a meltdown.
