Where the fuck was the massacre bro 😭. All we got was some rich people being scared watching him on tv. I’m coming out as a LARP for the comics but, did that not seem like a cooler ending? Supes all over the White House. Homelander holding the brains of the president. Stan Edgar and Butcher not fearing him and messing with him mentally. Imagine that!

Why the fuck did Starlight think it was a good to “handle” The Deep by PUSHING HIM TO THE OCEAN! The dude with mild super strength needed to go that far away from the White House? And to the ocean? The king of the sea? It worked out for her but she did not know about what the fish said to The Deep. AND THE FUCK DID YOU GO AWAY FROM HOMELANDER THATS THE WHOLE GOAL!

All of this talk about love too with Sage and Kimiko and Frenchie. Shit was ass man. Corny as hell. I’m sorry but Sage is the most annoying character ever and her when she becomes stupid like us was such an awkward scene. “The voices are so loud but they’re quiet” why did that not feel like a major scene at all to me?

And dude, why is M.M still alive? Genuinely. I really thought at the end of the day it would only be Hughie and somehow Starlight left. I’m not glad at all M.M or Kimiko got happy endings. I wanted them dead even though I like them.

Most of all, the virus. Really? They couldn’t release it? That would’ve been sick and bookend everything. Have Hughie shoot him and then Butcher presses it away. The whole point is superheroes needed to die after one got a little too crazy and started killing the president and whoever the fuck he wants.

Starlight needed to kill The Deep, Hughie needed to forgive A Train, M.M needed to die from Solider Boy, Frenchie needed to be a causality of war. Have Butcher release the virus with whoever is left causing himself, Kimiko and 50/50 on Starlight as well. Fuck it, even have Solider Boy still live since he’s in a refrigerators you want your cake and eat it too.

No, it’s not worse than Game of Thrones though. It just sucked ass that’s all.

Also, naming your child after your ex girlfriend is crazy.

What the hell am I paying for if I can’t take photos?

EDIT: iPhone 14 Pro Max and the newest update.

Spoilers

I’m a little underwhelmed I’m not gonna lie. Like everything made sense and it was only a matter of time and I don’t really know what I was expecting but just… more? It was a beautiful episode and it got me off guard even knowing that L died beforehand. The show from Episode 1-11 ABSOLUTE CINEMA! When I think of a good tv binge, this is it. You genuinely cannot put the show down. Intelligently written, a little stupid at times from busting out laughing the way Light and L talk. Perfection. Episode 12-17, good. Not much to say on it but very good. Not quite the heights of those first 11 episodes but nothing wrong. Episode 18-21/22… straight up snooze fest man. Genuinely all of the intelligent writing just went out of the window. Nothing stupid even happens it was just like “what the fuck are we doing here”. Episode 22-25 though… fuckkkkk man edge of my seat. Great pay off for the slow burn that happened for a while and it was all so worth it.

I know the second half is controversial or whatever but I’ll see for myself. I don’t have high or low expectations. I think I definitely need a break though. Not too interested without the Light and L dynamic to be honest.

A promising fresh start to Mortal Kombat with some rewrites to the lore, characters not seen in nearly twenty years coming back with a fresh coat of paint and beautiful new environments. This should have been the game to keep everything plain and simple. Nothing too complicated or extravagant. The multiverse and in my opinion, the kameo system absolutely ruined any chance of this being a “forever Mortal Kombat” which is honestly what the series desperately needed.

Even with the awful inclusion of the multiverse, the game still had a chance at life. Just add more fucking content. The game modes were simply terrible and gimmicky. It all just consisted of throwing a whole bunch of bullshit at the players face thinking it’s fun. What we needed was normal arcade towers, a few of test your blank modes, the krypt that isn’t RNG like how MK11 did. I think even remove the kustomization for the characters if they weren’t going to take it to its full advantage and settle for normal kostumes.

The story should’ve been a normal political scheming plot with this universes of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. I’d even settle for Shang Tsung from MK11’s ending being the main antagonist but ONLY his timeline. No other multiverses. Remove the damn garbage chapter system for the story and get rid of pre-rendered cutscenes.

And most importantly, DLC for multiple years. I think like 50-60% of Mortal Kombat’s character history should’ve been playable by the end of its life. Not EVERYONE but at least half. More consist and fitting guest characters but not half of the Kombat Pack. And honestly, like 3-4 story expansions. No item shops, just normal dlc and unlockable costumes. Nothing that’s limited time or pre-order exclusive. I think some ideas for a story expansion would be like one for special forces, one for the cyber lin kuei, and maybe one for shinnok? I’d save Onaga for Mortal Kombat 2 for sure though.

Games like Tekken 7 and Street Fighter 5 lasted years and I believe grew to be games that a lot of people liked in the end.

That’s just all my opinion though.

For example, in my save files for Arkham Asylum and City even after I got the “Platinum” (not sure what else to call it) I still went for all of the unnecessary DLC, unlocked both secret rooms and did it twice for City considering NG+. I did City on Hard Mode even when it wasn’t unnecessary to keep it consistent with Asylum. Made sure to mess around with all of the costumes and clear all of the “New” notifications.

With Sonic Generations I’m currently almost done (Sonic Generations 100% completed and I’m halfway through Shadow Generations). But there’s a Hard Mode do the boss fights and there’s six total so I want to get a top 3 score board since the game keeps track of your 3 best runs on all of them. I accidentally got S Ranks for all of the 90 challenge maps because I didn’t know that ONLY THE MAIN STAGES count towards the S Rank achievement. I wasted a good extra two hours or so in retries doing all of that. But now I want my save files to be clean so fuck if we’re going all out. This is the same with Shadow Generations there’s basically an easy power up to turn on which counts as a different top 3 score!

I’m glad this game is fun because I would’ve lost my mind lmao.

That episode was legitimately garbage. This felt like a Season 2 Episode 15 of a 22 episode season. Not a fucking PENULTIMATE EPISODE OF THE FINAL SEASON

The cat and dog sniffing each other’s asses. CHIPOTLE AND LITTLE CEASERS!!! Is it funny????!!! Why aren’t you laughing??? Haha, chipotle makes you shit!!!

Homelander just fucking jerks off doing shit and Solider Boy DOES FUCKING NOTHING GENUINELY FUCKING NOTHING. The ice box again yeahhhhhhh let’s gooooo.

Didn’t even have the balls to give Frenchie a brutal death. Rip that dude in half man! Have fucking Solider Boy rip out MM’s heart. Kimiko is still alive doing fuck all. Why the fuck is this episode titled after all of them when NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS.

We’re spending the entire fucking episode on civilians not believing in Homelander? Dawg this is child’s play. Oh wow Homelander killed the president. TO DO FUCK ALL! Hey guys Ashley is still conflicted again!!! Doing dick!! And the deep is alive because of reasons also doing fuck all.

Homelander is IMMORTAL and building theme parks. What the fuck are we in? Season 3? The fuck is this shit. Where hell is Ryan?

Character development and it’s just Butcher feeling bad about his past. Bro we are in Season 5.

Why the fuck isn’t the White House on fire turned to ash? Why isn’t there riots and all out wars against Homelander? Is the finale gonna be in some vought movie studio? Or another abandoned warehouse?

M.M is sad awwww HE DOESNT DO ANYTHING! KILL HIM!

Oh my gosh what a fucking promising start with episode 5 and it’s just the same old crap.

Hughie does shit, starlight, frenchie, mm, kimiko, sage, Ashley, the deep, oh father. As soon as you get something slightly interesting with Firecracker and Black Noir they just kill them. Fuck homelander for being a little bitch that’s not threatening at all. And if someone fucking says that’s the point I’m gonna lose my mind. Butcher being a villain was used for dick.

Stan Edgar? Remember him? Wtf are they doing with him?

Nothing. Ever. Happens.

I apologize for the confusing title, but this has always bugged me in regard to Star Wars with fans defending the Disney movies and tv shows. To sum it up, if you have to bend over backwards to defend to something like The Rise of Skywalker by criticizing aspects of A New Hope then like… what are we even doing here, man?

Probably my biggest issue with the Sequel Trilogy is the first order. How the fuck did the rebellion take down the galactic empire, build their way up into the new republic just for another empire to reign supreme again. And not to mention, it’s not even the new republic we’re rooting for. It’s the resistance!!! They were in control for over 30+ years and now we’re dealing with a ragtag team all over again? Where did the first order get funding from? How did they rise to power and why did the new republic sit by for maybe 15 or so years doing nothing about it? Why the hell are they so advanced in technology meanwhile, the resistance which was a smaller group made from the new republic gets nothing but scraps.

What’s the defense of this? “Well, A New Hope didn’t explain that either!” A New Hope is the first installment of this franchise, brochacho. It’s not that kind of movie. This is the world the characters live in and we are along for the ride in it. It doesn’t need a whole backstory similar to The Lord of the Rings.

“Well, the original trilogy didn’t have a plan either. Darth Vader wasn’t Luke’s father until The Empire Strikes Back. Harrison Ford might’ve not come back to Return of the Jedi, the force has new abilities every movie, etc.”

Like I said, the original trilogy is… the original trilogy. It is brand new. Even RotJ should still be considered a first installment. And these are movies from the 1980’s. Of course there isn’t a through line plan. Even a show like Breaking Bad didn’t have too many plans in Season 5A. But this is multi billionaire Disney. Why shouldn’t there be a plan for something so beloved that had already experienced heavy criticism from the previous trilogy.

“Palpatine returned in Dark Empire and it’s completely in character for him to want to be immortal.” Okay, in the Star Wars universe, sure. I’ll agree to that. But we are in the real world. Palpatine was not setup in our own eyes for episode 7 and 8. It’s that simple.

“Luke and Anakin are Gary Stu’s in their respective trilogies” This one irks me the most. I don’t even like defending each point on how Luke isn’t because it simply isn’t even in the realm of mattering on why the sequel trilogy or Rey sucks balls. You can bring up 100 lines of dialogue that defend Rey and study Luke’s actions but it doesn’t matter. It’s not bias towards Luke and some secret agenda to dislike Rey’s actions. She’s just too perfect. Flying, mind tricks, winning a dual with an almost Sith, someone who trained with Luke himself btw, fucking levitating like it’s nothing within a year of knowing the force when not even Yoda could do that.

What I’m trying to get at is that you could do the exact same “problems” in one movie and another, and have two very different scores and it doesn’t matter. A New Hope is a 10/10 and The Rise of Skywalker is a 1/10. It’s that simple. The bending over backwards nature of defending plotlines and characters to criticize something universally loved within the same franchise is odd to me. I see this with like The Last of Us 2 and even music to a lesser exent.

This might be jumbled up mess of a post but I hope that I made some sense. Luke > Rey.

I literally binged the first twenty or so episodes so fast from how freaking intelligent the show was written. Every single thing you can think of or crazy plan for this concept of a show, the author thought of. It’s insane. Like even fucking episode 2 my jaw dropped. The scene with all of the police barricading the news station was soooooo hype. And then idk, I haven’t picked it up in a few weeks once they get the big ass building and Light forgets the death note. It’s still good and all but damn. That 15 or so episode run was insane.

Sonic The Hedgehog 1 (2020) simply adapt Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. The movie is fine as is.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) is very smart by adapting both Sonic The Hedgehog 2 + 3&K. I think it’s perfect

Knuckles the Echidna (2024) mini-series adapts elements of Knuckles’ Chaotix with the whole crew with Vector, Espio and Charmy.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) should SKIP the CD game and bring us to Sonic Adventure 1. Add in Amy with Perfect Chaos as the main villain. It Doesn’t Matter and Open Your Heart are also very important to put in. Even the songs with the other cast of characters like Amy and Tails.

Sonic The Hedgehog 4 (2027) adapts Sonic Adventure 2 here. Now we have the full cast plus adding in Rogue to show the scope of the game in the movie. AND HAVE LIVE AND LEARN AND ESCAPE FROM THE CITY PLAYED IN FULL

Sonic the Hedgehog 5 (2029) adapts Sonic CD and Heroes similar to the second film. The ending should 100% have What I’m Made Of during the fight with Metal Sonic and set up for

Shadow the Hedgehog mini-series (2031) . All Hail Shadow and I Am All of Me need to be in.

Sonic The Hedgehog 6 (2031) would be the final film and adapts Sonic 06. Super Sonic, Shadow and Silver. His World playing at the end. Call it quits there honestly.

I don’t think we need a game for Secret Rings or Unleashed to be honest. Any other spin-offs wouldn’t be necessary. Maybe a Silver and Blaze one but eh.

I took a glance at this sub and it’s just straight up porn and furry fetishes so maybe you guys won’t care about my Sonic Gen review but I played it for the first time since… 2014? So here we go:

Sonic Gen is a blast. The game feels so good to control. The 3D levels are massive and packed in with detail. Even the 2D levels which I had lower expectations for, BLEW ME AWAY. It’s so much better than the Werehog levels in Unleashed. A much better alternative gameplay style to 3D levels. Speed Highway and Rooftop Run are easily my favorites. The games a bit easy and the story is like really bad but that’s my only issue. The animations for the cutscenes are so fucking ugly and stiff. I think Toy Story 1 has smoother animation than this game, bruh. The game is short as well is another complaint but…

And then you get to Shadow Gen… wow. I’m blown away. I’m about 80% done with the main campaign and it’s been a blast as well. The gameplay is so fucking smooth and fast. The powers Shadow gets is so fucking fun. The homing attack as Shadow is just so much more satisfying to use for some reason. Maybe it’s the teleportation aspect of it but it just feels nice. The chaos control when you put your mind to use it in scenarios makes you just feel badass. The little move when you hold the X button and launch an enemy in the air IS SO DAMN SATISFYING. The levels are beefy and I have so much fomo playing them knowing there’s so many more paths to take I’m gonna try over and over again to experience it all. Even the little 2D levels in Act 2 and the forced challenge maps for the keys are fun! In a lot of ways it knocks Sonic Gen out the water. My only complaint gameplay wise is it’s a bit of a pain to get around the hub world and the purple slime is legitimately just poorly designed. It’s a pain in the ass to use.

Oh and the animations??? So fucking smooth. Sonic Gen is genuinely an embarrassment when it came to story animation. I don’t really care about the story itself or the cringy dialogue, it’s a Sonic game. But the animation’s in like the cutscenes were so bad and then you see Shadow Gen and it’s buttery smooth. Insane.

Honestly, I’m thinking it’s a 8.8/10. I wouldn’t buy it for full price because it’s pretty short but I don’t regret it buying it on sale. Great game.

Honestly, as soon as we got introduced to Solider Boy it felt like the writers didn’t give a shit about Homelander anymore. He was FUCKING GOOD in Season 1. Literally every scene he was in. I understand him going off the rails has always been there but like… as an audience member of the show, it just sucks to see. Seeing him in milk baths and believing he is god has no weight to me anymore. If he said this shit in Season 1 or even 2, I’d piss my pants. But it’s just all corny and lame now. Even his most terrifying scenes are all relegated to nobodies. The old dude he made jerk off in front of him from Season 4. His scene with Firecracker did nothing for me. I already seen him do this with Stilwell, Black Noir, A Train. Who cares anymore, man. Everybody fears him but also no one fucking does neither. Like, I just think back to Season 1 where everyone was in a chokehold from him to breathe next to him and now it’s like so fake to me.

And over and over with the “You’re a weak nobody without your powers!” Dude, we’ve heard this shit like five times this season. If he ends up powerless and a regular human I’d be so disappointed. If they still had any respect for his character he’d go out after wiping countries off the map like he’s been saying since season 3.

At least we have Solider Boy.
