2017 recap and 2018 look ahead

So, like what I did last year, now that it's New Year's Eve, I thought I would go over what I thought this year was to me and what I feel next year is going to be. Overall, for me personally, I, again, had a great year and think this year had my best content and I'm really happy with what I was doing with things like my Kingdom Hearts individual reviews, my individual anime reviews and my reviews of the different straight to video Disney sequels. I'm really happy with the way all those turned out and I'm looking forward to even more stuff like that in the future. Next year is going to have new entries and something very, very special. I'm actually going to start being a YouTuber starting next year. I don't know when I'm going to start, but, when I do, I'll share the link onto this blog so you can all find it and look at it if you want. It's going to be called Daniel M Cartoons like this. It might get some time to get used to the way I talk because I have Cystic Hygroma, so it'll be a little hard to understand me at first, but, you'll most likely get used to it after a while and hopefully you'll begin to understand if you watch. What will be on it is the same as to what I do on this blog. Reviews and all sorts of things like that. You can also follow me on Facebook at Daniel Moloney and my Twitter at Daniel Moloney and Instagram at daniel_moloney99 as well. Aside from that though, this year has actually been pretty good for this blog, up until August when my viewings started to get much, much smaller because someone stopped sharing it somewhere and I don't know how to fix that. So, to those still reading, thank you all very much. It's meant a lot that people are actually still reading and I'm really happy with a lot of this content that I'm making. Also, if you do like it, please tell other people like your friends or family, it would be really great for other people to read this too. And I'm looking forward to doing more entries in the future. My next entry will be the next Daniel Danger. The reason I haven't posted one since my first in October is because I haven't been able to think of anything for a story for a while even though I've been thinking really hard and, even though I know the basics of what these later stories are going to be, the first few I'm trying to think of have been kinda hard to think of, but I've thought really hard for a while and so, yeah, the second Daniel Danger: Season 2 story will be my next entry for 2018. I'm really excited and I hope you all are too and I hope you like it when I do it. And, even besides that, next year has a ton of great stuff coming out. I'm also going to do reviews for other things too, like, I'm going to do a Kingdom Hearts 3 review when it comes out and when I finish it. Expect more stuff coming soon and I can't wait for all of it and I can't wait to get my YouTube channel up. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think of this and please tell me what you thought of this year and are you excited for 2018, I'd love to know and a happy New Year to everyone.

My top 10 releases of 2018

With it being New Years Eve tomorrow, I decided to talk about my top 10 most anticipated releases of next year. And this will really count anything. Not just movies, but really anything that'll be  coming out next year whether it be movies or games or DVDs or TV. It can be anything. I'm looking forward to all of these very much, especially my number 1 pick. And, if you know me, you can probably tell what my number 1 is going to be. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. Deadpool 2:

Starting us off at number 10 is the sequel to one of the best comic book movies I've ever seen and the funniest I've ever seen. That being Deadpool and this is going to be Deadpool 2. So far, the marketing has been amazing and I obviously can't wait to see more. Ryan Reynolds was immediately one of the best comic book movie actors when the first Deadpool movie was released and it looks like he's going to be even better here. They're bringing in new Marvel characters like Cable and Domino, who I can't wait to see. Overall, this looks like it could be another phenomenal Deadpool movie and I can't wait for it in June.
9. Fairy Tail DVD collection part 22-???:

Now, the reason I'm saying it like this is because these Fairy Tail part DVDs come out during the year and there's a certain amount that do come out every year, but I don't know how many that is. That's why I'm doing in question marks like this. Still though, I can't wait to get more. I've gotten even more of these DVDs for Christmas and I'm still collecting. Number 18 will be released in January and then the rest will be released later on.
8. Black Panther:

At number 8 is the next M.C.U movie that'll be out in less than two months. I loved Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther in Civil War, and the fact that he's now getting his own movie has me beyond excited and I can't wait to see and review it. From the trailers alone so far, it looks like Ryan Coogler has directed this movie very beautifully and I can't wait to see what he properly brings to this movie when it releases. This and Ant-Man and the Wasp are both released this year and I can't wait for them both. Them and another movie you'll see later on.
7. Naruto Shippuden Season 8 DVD:

Like what I said with the Fairy Tail DVDs, these complete seasons of Naruto Shippuden have been coming out once a year. This year, Season 7 was released and next year will release Season 8. This is the English dub I'm talking about with about 8 disks inside it. I can't wait to see what it looks like and I can't wait to start watching Season 7 because I also got that for Christmas and I want to see what it'll be like when I have Season 8 and then 2019 will release the final one. That being Season 9, which will be the entire Naruto Shippuden seasons on DVD and I can't wait for all of it.
6. The new and last 3-in-1 Naruto mangas:

This is what I meant when I said this list could contain anything. And I'm more excited for the conclusion of the 3-in-1 Naruto mangas because I'm collecting them all and so far, they've gone up to vol. 20. They've been coming out every third month and they're going to be finished October of next year, which I can't wait for. When the last one does come out and when I get it, along with the other 3-in-1s that'll be out next year, I'll have gotten them all which means I'd have the entire Naruto manga set and the 3-in-1 mangas are the best ones to get. As you must have seen in my collections entry, you'll have seen there are other mangas that does the same thing and when I get the last Naruto one next year, I'll have gotten all the Naruto ones. I can't wait. The ones above are volumes 21 and 22, which will be out in January and April of next year.
5. More Pop Vinyl Figures:

This is something I spoke about before in my top 10 characters I want to see become Pop Vinyl Figures. So I won't explain what they are. Still though, I want a lot more to be made, in fact, I'm going to make a second list talking about more characters I want to see, especially seeing how some of the ones I spoke about before actually happened. So I would really love for even more that I want to see get turned into them. When I made my second list, I'll explain which ones. Over all, I can't wait to get more and see which ones they make for next year.
4. Wreck-It Ralph 2:

Considering the fact that this will be the next Disney Classic, of course I can't wait for this. I love the first Wreck-It Ralph movie incredibly hard and so having more of that, and the fact that, again, this will be another Disney Classic, really has me super excited. This will also be the first time a sequel was a Disney Classic since Fantasia 2000. And that was back in 1999. The fact that they've decided to make another one, and the fact that it's the sequel to one of my favourite Disney movies ever, is really something to me. I really hope it does turn out good. I know it will be though.
3. The Incredibles 2:

Now, before I say anything about this Pixar movie, I just want say something. The reason I didn't review Coco this year is because it didn't come to Europe in November. It's going to be here in January. So, when it does release, I'll review it then. But back onto the Incredibles 2, of course I'm excited for this. As I said before, the first Incredibles movie is one of my favourite animated movies, and maybe one my favourite movies of all time. It's one of the most imaginative and creative movies I've ever seen and I love everything in it from the animation, the action scenes, the characters, the pacing, the villain and everything. I can't find one flaw with it. And so, with the sequel coming out next year, I'm hoping it'll be even better than it and I can't wait to see what they do with Jack Jack in this. The first trailer was perfect, giving me exactly what I wanted to see and it made me want to see more.
2. Avengers: Infinity War:

Yeah, some of you probably thought this was going to be number 1, but, something else is easily even more anticipated than this for me. Still though, as far as movies go, this is the most excited I've ever been for any movie in my life. And this could be my favourite comic book movie off all time when it releases. It's going to be the combination of everything we've seen in the M.C.U, aside from the TV shows, which is pretty sad, but still. And it looks like it could be the most fun and most action-packed comic book movie ever. I can't wait for it to release and I'm super hoping it lives up to the hype.
And my number most anticipated release of 2018 is... Kingdom Hearts 3:

Come on, what did you expect to be number 1? Kingdom Hearts 3, as I've said, I don't know how many times, is easily the most wanted thing for me, ever. It's been the number 1 thing I've wanted ever since I first heard of it. With this being announced for being actually released at this year's D23, it got so many people, especially me, super excited and we can't wait to see more when it actually releases and we can't wait to see what other Disney or Pixar movies will be released since only 6  actual worlds have been properly announced so far with Twilight Town, Destiny Islands, Mysterious Tower, Olympus, Toy Story and Monster's Inc. Obviously, the Keyblade Graveyard is going to be the final world, but those ones are the ones that have been properly announced so far. I also can't wait to see what Kingdom Hearts 3 looks like with the new graphics and I want to see what new gameplay will be introduced. I can't wait to use Flow Motion again and hopefully it'll be just as good, if not even better, than what I'm expecting. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 releases of 2018. Thank you all for reading and please comment to tell me what you think and also tell me what you're most looking forward to next year.

My top 10 anime openings

With dozens of anime out there, there're even more anime openings with them, I thought I'd talk about the different anime opening out there and count down my top 10 favourite. These will be judge on the songs or music in the opening and the animation and the way they might, either, tell the story with them or help show what the characters are. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
10. Tank (Cowboy Bebop):
Starting us off is the opening of one of the most beloved anime shows of all time, Cowboy Bebop. I've reviewed this show in May and so you all know my thoughts on it. And one of the things I said I enjoyed about it was the music. And the opening is no exception. It's a great combination of jazz music and colourful animation and all that makes a great combo for an older anime show from the 1990's.
9. Over (Boruto: Naruto Next Generation):
The most recent anime opening is at number 9, Over, from Boruto: Naruto Next Generation. And, yeah, this is another great opening. The animation's spectacular, the song's really catchy and I love how it's sorta symbolising something and that being Boruto and Naruto with Boruto sorta seeing the younger Naruto in him and I have a feeling that'll sorta come into play later on in the show. As I said in my top 5 anime that I'm hoping to watch soon list, I haven't actually started watching Boruto yet, I've just watched bits and that's because I'm still waiting to watch the English dub of Naruto Shippuden, which hasn't been finished yet. Either way, this opening scene is still awesome and it's great to listen to.
8. Diver (Naruto Shippuden):
I love this opening, not just because of how fantastically animated it is and the song sounds nice, but also, it's cool to see with how well it tells a story in itself. And, when I say that, I'm talking about what it shows. At the start it shows Naruto sinking with his enemies rising but then his friends are there to push him back up. And when he's out, he sees Sasuke still in the water and so he dives in to get him. That's cool and the singing by NICO Touches The Wall is terrific.
7. Again (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood):
(Don't expect this to be the last of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on this list.) However while this isn't my favourite Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood opening, it's still really fantastic. It starts off kinda slow with nice singing and music and slow animation, then it goes super fast with fast paced action and the song gets more intense with a lot of sequences happening. And it's a cool with the way it's all edited. A friend and I were even talking lately about this opening's song sounds really beautiful and she really loves listening to it, and so do I.
6. Snow Fairy (Fairy Tail):
The first Fairy Tail opening is the best one in my opinion and I love it. This is one of the only openings where I think that the best part is the song itself. The rest is great too, but my favourite part is the song. It sounds amazing, especially the start of it and the very end of it. It's almost kinda hard to explain why I love this opening so much, I just really do and I love the song so much. It's one of the few openings I have on my iPod because of that. It's just a great sound and the band Funkiest.
5. We Are (One Piece):
With One Piece being the biggest anime I've been starting to watch for a while, this opening had me really excited from the first second. It's one of the few anime opening songs that's English dubbed, which is fantastic. The singer does a great job of giving you this very friendly feeling with great lyrics with a well told backstory about the king of the pirates and the One Piece. I love how the singer gives you the impression that he's super friendly and welcoming.
4. Gotta Go Fast (Sonic X):
As I said in my anime review of Sonic X, the actual theme song for this show is one of the catchiest and best I've ever heard. As well as the first one I actually heard. And, yeah, even to this day, I love it. I love imagining things to it and I remember my cousin and I really liking it when we were younger. And how can I not? It's awesome, it's fast paced, it shows a lot of great action and animation and the end part is incredible. I especially love the singer and how intense the singing almost sounds.
3. Blue Bird (Naruto Shippuden):
Going back to Naruto is Blue Bird. Also known as the third opening for Naruto Shippuden. This is a super beautiful opening. First we see a quick glimpse of Naruto and Sasuke reuniting. After that, we see an amazingly animated blue bird flying around and Naruto falling from the sky and seeing Shikamaru and Asuma in a fight with Hidan and Kakuzu. I love this opening the most for it beautiful song and well animated action and unbelievable camerawork. Definitely one of the best in my opinion.
2. Far Away (Naruto):
Coming in close to number 1 is Far Away from the original Naruto show. This being the second opening for it. With this being the best and most acclaimed Naruto opening ever, it shows a lot and very little as well. By that, I mean, it shows all of Naruto's friends and it's shown with phenomenal animation and a fantastic pumping song. The visuals also indicate that this is all some sort of fore-shadowing and that this was really the beginning of Naruto.
And my number 1 favourite anime opening is... Rain (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood):
And finally, at number 1 is Rain. This being the fifth and final opening for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. When it comes to an anime opening, this is everything I want. A fantastic song with incredible animation, fantastically well-told story without giving away anything and being so much fun to watch and listen too. This is only anime opening I never skip while watching the anime because it's so amazing with incredible singing from SID and beautifully animated shots, like the final shot of the house and the sunset. And, yeah, this is another song I'm listening to a lot on my iPod. And, like I said before, this is another one I listen to on my iPod and like to do a lot of imagining while doing it. And it shows something huge. That being the war that's happening in Central with Ed, Al, their friends, Mustang's team and Brigg's soldiers vs. the Central soldiers. It shows something huge happening with a bunch of incredible sequences taking place and I love every second of it. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 favourite anime openings. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think or, if you like anime, please tell me your favourite anime opening.

My top 10 films of 2017

Yet another year comes to an end this has been an incredible year for films. Just in general it's been amazing. For me at least anyway. And so, with even more and more anticipated movies coming out next year, I thought I'd talk about my top 10 movies of 2017. These will be counting all the movies I saw this year. Even movies I didn't review will be on this and even movies I never mentioned until now will be on here. And so let's begin and I can't wait to tell you all.
10. Justice League:

Starting us off at number 10 is the first of many comic book movies on this list. While, in my review, I explained why this movie has problems. I still had a lot of fun with this movie even if it didn't have a well structured story. I loved almost all the characters and I loved how this had the best on-screen version of Superman we've gotten since the 1970's. While the villain may have sucked and all the visuals weren't great, we still got a fun movie with main characters I enjoyed watching for a lot of it and, while it wasn't particularly funny, some jokes actually did make me laugh pretty good and the audience as well. Overall, this was a fun movie and I can't wait to see which DC.E.U movie is next and I'm excited to see what they do with Deathstroke. (Also, don't expect to see Wonder Woman on this. Wonder Woman is most likely the better movie, but, read my ranking of the 5 current DC.E.U movies and you'll get it.)
9. Baby Driver:

Okay, every film from here on is fantastic in my opinion, and at number 9 I have a pretty cool film that not a lot of people saw that I feel should have gotten more attention, and that's Baby Driver. This was directed by Edgar Wright and it's about this guy named Baby who's a driver trying to work off a debt he owes to another guy named Doc. He's also always got his earphones in his ears because of a tinnitus accident he's got that causes a ringing noise to always be in his ears. But when he meets a girl named Deborah, things begin to take a turn for the worse. I had heard a lot of great things about this movie before I saw it like from BHL Hudson said they were all loving it and saying it was one of the best films of the year. So, it got me so interested that I saw it for myself and, yeah, it's really, really good. I had a lot of fun with this with great acting and some funny scenes. I enjoyed the characters and was really loving the car chase scenes in this. I would definitely recommend that you go see it if you haven't yet.
8. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi:

You probably expected this to be a little higher up on the list than here, but, no, I'm leaving Star Wars Episode VIII at number 8. How's that for convenience? But, yeah, for me personally, this is where I feel it deserves to go. While, a few days ago, when I did my review for this movie, I pointed out that this movie isn't perfect and there were problems with it, I still had a great time with the Last Jedi and I loved it. Sure, the pacing was dragged, but, aside from that sub-plot with Finn and Rose on that other planet, I loved everything outside of that. The directing was beautiful thanks to Rian Johnson and it has some of my favourite moments in all of Star Wars and I loved how there were so many surprises that I did not expect at all. Read my review if you haven't yet to know what I'm talking about.
7. Blade Runner 2049:

This movie is exactly like Baby Driver in that I discovered this movie from hearing great things about it and then being so interested that I went and saw it myself. And, to be absolutely honest, I was blown away by this movie. This is one of the best looking movies I've ever seen in my life with the colours, the camerawork, the sets and everything. It's all beautiful to look at. And the story was also pretty interesting with an officer named K investigating a case and having a guy named Deckard to help him. This is actually a sequel is a movie that was made in the 1980's. I haven't seen that yet, but, the YouTubers that I watched who reviewed this movie said it's a movie on it's own that didn't rely on the previous one. So, that made it easier because that meant I didn't really have to watch that movie to get it. All the acting's really great here, especially from Ryan Gosling, who's been amazing lately with this, the Nice Guys and La La Land last year (which I did see and I really liked it), and he's fantastic here, and Harrison Ford. He plays this sorta traumatised characters because, apparently, something from the first movie is still catching up to him. The rest are great too and I was super interested throughout the whole thing.
6. The Lego Batman movie:

This is one of the movies I spoke about before on my list of my top 5 films of the year so far I did in September. And my opinions are the same. I had a lot of fun with this movie and thought this had some of the best comedy I've seen in an animated movie in a long time. The animation's really good and I loved how well this movie poked fun of the previous versions of Batman. All the voice acting outstanding and the adult jokes are so hilarious that it made me and the audience laugh really loudly. Especially one scene at the start.
5. Logan:

This should probably be higher up on the list because, as I'm sure everyone can agree, this is a fantastic comic book movie and it has some of the best performances and best action in a comic book movie, but for me personally, I don't think I love it like everyone else. Still though, this was kind of a long time coming because this is finally the Wolverine movie everyone wanted to see for a long time. Hugh Jackman once again delivered a terrific performance as Wolverine and this was a really satisfying way to see him depart from this franchise. Besides that, the story, the directing by James Mangold, the other performances and the cinematography really make this final Wolverine film fantastic. I love how it really felt like a great way to see these characters go out one more time. Not to mention that this was an amazing R rated movie with plenty of blood, violence and swearing. This was so rewarding to see. I still say this is an incredible movie and I'm still excited to see the X-Men, especially Wolverine, in the M.C.U, if they're ever going to be.
4. War For The Planet Of The Apes:

This is another one of the movies I saw based on hearing a lot about it. I was curious to start watching these new Planet Of The Apes movies for a while, and after hearing a lot about this one in particular, I finally watched both of previous ones, then I watched this. And, like what I said about Blade Runner 2049, I was blown away with this movie and loved everything about it. Andy Serkis is the best motion capture actor I've ever seen and his performance as Caesar is the best I've ever seen from him. I also just love the character of Caesar and think he's really cool, but also sympathetic. This film has the best motion capture work I've ever seen and I was entertained throughout the whole thing. Matt Reeves did a phenomenal job directing this movie and the acting from everyone was top-notch. There wasn't one scene where I thought the movie was boring or C.G.I wasn't convincing because every single thing in this movie was breath-taking. I loved every minute of this movie and, if you're interested, I would highly suggest you go see this movie and the ones before it too like Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2:

Now we get into the M.C.U movies, and at number 3 is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. I really, really don't understand what people don't like about this movie. They all say it's really good, just not anything special. I don't get that at all. I loved every minute of this movie and was entertained throughout the whole thing. I loved the characters and performances and the way the story progressed. This was a great film for me to watch and I loved the different character interactions with some of the best visual effects I saw all year. I'm also one of the only few people who actually like the exploration of the character's past and loved the interactions with one of the best M.C.U villains ever with Ego. Yondu was also great and this was a super funny movie with the characters I loved from the first movie back.
2. Thor: Ragnarok:

Coming in close to number 1 at number 2 is the most recent M.C.U movie and one of the funniest comic book movies I've ever seen, Thor: Ragnarok. It has amazing visual effects, great directing from Taika Waititi, amazing comic book inspired ideas like the incorporation of Planet Hulk, some of the best comedy I've ever seen in a comic book movie and, I especially love it for giving me one of my favourite comic book movie characters of all time with Taika Waititi himself as Korg.

This is also the best version of Thor and Hulk I've seen in the M.C.U. I also loved Cate Blanchett as Hela and I thought she was one of the best M.C.U villains ever as well. I especially love how deep it went to change the M.C.U and it did it amazingly. I, overall, had a blast and I can't wait to see what happens with Thor and Hulk in Infinity War.
And my number 1 favourite film of 2017 is... Spider-Man: Homecoming:

I know, predictable to the very end. But, like I said before, I can't help what I thought originally and still think now, Spider-Man: Homecoming is my favourite movie of 2017. This is the best on-screen version of Spider-Man I've ever seen and I love how relatable it was. I related with Peter Parker so much here with the everyday high school problems he faced. I loved Jacob Batalon as Ned. He's one of the funniest parts of the movie and not once did he ever get annoying. It also has some of the best M.C.U comedy ever with, again, one of the best M.C.U villains ever with Michael Keaton as the Vulture. With almost every comic book movie this year, 2017 was the best comic book year of all time. It's been absolutely amazing. And Spider-Man: Homecoming is the best in my opinion. Like I also said in my top 5 films of the year so far list, this is the only movie I saw twice in the cinema and I'm glad it is because I adore this movie so much and I love how they got my favourite superhero ever perfect in a movie with a fantastic performance from Tom Holland. And so everyone, those are my top 10 favourite movies of 2017. Thank you all so much for reading and please comment down below to tell me your favourite movies of the year and tell me what you thought of this.

Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone. And for something special for me this year, I want to review one of my favourite Christmas movies ever and one of my favourite Disney Christmas movies ever, Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas. I've loved this movie for a long time ever since I borrowed it from a neighbours when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old. And even to this day, I feel that it really does hold up really well. And it's a pretty unique film because it's one that doesn't have one actual story, it's three stories. What are they? The first one is Donald and his nephews, Huey, Dewy and Louie during Christmas time and the three of them wishing on a star saying they want Christmas every day. They get their wish, but with them doing it over and over and over with the same thing happening every single time, they begin to get sick of it and want things to go back to normal. Sure, this is a story is something that's been done before, but they manage to throw a twist into it and it makes it even more interesting to watch it and more fun. And while it's fun, there's some sad moments, especially one scene where the boys realise something bad they've done and feel guilty because of it and want to make it better, and I thought that was really nice. And it's pretty funny too, especially one scene that involves a turkey outside with them sledding and the actual ending is really nice. Donald is still his usual self, which is really great, and so are the boys and none of them ever come as bad people, they're just experiencing Christmas and act the way they usually would. The second story had Goofy and Max trying to find out if Santa Claus is real, because Max is beginning to doubt the actual existence of him after Pete tells him that Santa's just a make believe. So Goofy is doing everything he can to get prove that he is real, even going so far as to set up a watch balcony on their roof to try to spot him. This one is really good, but, I feel this is the weakest of the three stories. It's not bad, but out of all the stories in this movie, this one is just the weakest in my opinion. Still though, this isn't bad. It is really good. I especially really like Goofy dedication to this and doing everything he can to get proof for Max. That's nice and the ending is, again, really nice with them revealing whether or not Santa does exist here. So that's nice and with Goofy being his usual self, that leads to some really funny scenes and slapstick. Probably the funniest scene in this is when Goofy sees something on Pete's roof. That's all I'll say, I won't say what it is. And I guess, the best I can say is that this is a story with an ending that really leaves you happy. And that aspect to the whole thing is what I always get into the most. The final story and my favourite of them all involves Mickey and Minnie trying to buy each other a present, but neither one of them have enough money. So, Mickey keeps trying to come up with different ideas for that. As I said in my top 10 Disney characters list, Mickey and Minnie are my two favourite Disney characters ever and they're the best characters to have as the main characters in a story like this. This one's also pretty funny and I would say the funniest part is Pete with his Christmas tree selling business. Watch it to know what I mean. And I'm mainly talking about the ending to that scene. All the stories are tied together with a narration that really gives it this real wonder to it and real love for it too, which I do. The animation is really good here, even with a low budget, they still managed to get really good animation into this, and it all looks great with all the designs and colours and it actually really feeling like a Christmas movie. Each story is also kinda similar in that they all have sorta the same pattern with having a good story, good comedy and good emotional scenes with a really nice ending. And the actual ending with all of them at the tree singing different Christmas songs is super touching. And these stories are all really touching and really effective. And the fact that these stories are being told with these incredibly famous characters and them being utilised so well is really something and super fun. And I think the fact that they're famous Disney characters makes it even better. You can definitely tell the effort that was put into this and this is easily one I'd recommend you to watch. I loved it as a kid and I still love it now. So, yeah, if you have a chance, definitely watch this and I know you'll have a great time with it. And so everyone, that's my review of Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas. Thank you all for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think and have a very merry Christmas.

My top 5 Christmas songs

With it being Christmas Eve, I thought I'd do something special this year for it and talk about my personal favourite Christmas songs of all time. And this will include any type of song out there. Plus, come on, everyone's gotta have one favourite Christmas song, and so I'm doing this entry to talk about what my 5 favourites are. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. Very First Christmas To Me:
Starting us off at number 5 is the only Christmas song from a TV show, that being Very First Christmas To Me from the episode "Christmas Who?" from SpongeBob Squarepants. I was sorts debating over whether I should put either this one or the other SpongeBob Christmas song. That being Don't Be A Jerk, It's Christmas. But I decided to go with this one instead. The lyrics are well thought out and it especially gets really funny at the end when you hear Mr. Krabs' voice go up really high and he sounds like a really young girl. But the lyrics themselves really make it for me and I like the interactions between SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward. Especially when Squidward says "SpongeBob, take this stuff down immediately." That always makes me laugh. And overall, I just really love the sound to the whole thing.
4. Frosty the Snowman:
Now we get into one of my childhood favourite Christmas songs ever, Frosty the Snowman. Kind of a silly childish imagination song as I've sorta been thinking about lately and one that I know young kids are loving even to this day because my young cousins love it and sing it a lot. And it's a nice sound with kind of a sad story within it with this Snowman who comes to live for a while and some kids are playing with him, but then, he says he has to go. And by "go", I mean melt. And that's all nice and I really like the lyrics that describe it all.
3. Let It Snow:
As I'm going to say for the next pick, this is a very popular Christmas song and one that's used a lot. Not just for people wanting to sing it in schools, but also for movies and all sorts of things like that. And this is easily one that you've heard of before. Everyone has. And it's pretty simplistic. I was always sorta thinking it's a song saying just to have fun or relax. Get it? Because it's saying to let the snow fall and have fun in it or relax inside while it's happening. Either way, the lyrics and all that is still really strong here and I love it all.
2. Merry Christmas, Everyone:
Coming in close to number 1 is probably the most popular Christmas song at my school. And this is definitely one of the most popular Christmas songs ever, in my opinion and from what I've seen. And, yeah, I love this song. The singing from Shaken' Stevens is spectacular and I think the visuals in the actual proper video perfectly encapsulate the Christmas theme with the colours and the locations are really well shot with great uses of snow.
And my number 1 favourite Christmas song is... I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday:
And finally at number 1 is I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday. It's actually kinda hard to explain why I love this song so much, but, out of every Christmas song I've ever heard, this one is the most catchiest and I love the music with it and the whole style. The singers are also all amazing in this and they all sing in such a fantastic way that I can't help but always sorta move along with the beat whenever I hear it. It's so much fun and I can easily put it as my number 1 favourite Christmas song ever. And so everyone, that's my list for my top 5 favourite Christmas songs of all time. Thank you all for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think and tell me what your favourite Christmas song is, have a fantastic Christmas and I'm going to be doing a special entry tomorrow for Christmas, so, remember that and keep an eye out for when I post it.

Even more new Kingdom Hearts 3 Monsters Inc. photos

So about 8 days ago, I showed some pictures that were released of Monsters Inc. being included into Kingdom Hearts 3. But, now, today, we got even more pictures and we get to see even more too. Which is what you'd expect, but they also don't show too much, which I love. They show us more of the world and more of what Sora, Donald and Goofy look like and we even get to see Boo, which is awesome. I'm still excited and I really want to see more soon. And so, here they are and I hope you all like these.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

And so, everyone, we're finally here with the last movie I'm going to be reviewing in 2017 and my most anticipated for a few months, that being Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. I was so unbelievably excited to see this. Not just because I'm a fan of Star Wars, but also because the marketing was looking fantastic and the reviews I had been hearing were saying this was a super fun movie. So, obviously, I couldn't wait to see what they were going to do here. And how was it for me? I had a lot of fun with it. It's not perfect and the pacing is kinda off, but, a lot of this is just fantastic. And, yes, like a lot of my reviews this year, I'm going to do a non spoiler to start, and then I'll get into all the spoilers later on. What's the story? It opens up with the Resistance being attacked by the First Order and they're trying to get away from them. While that's going on, Rey and Chewie have met back up with Luke on his island. And honestly, I don't ever do this, but I'm going to stop right there just because there are so many surprises in this movie and I don't want to spoil anything until the spoiler part. I know, that might be weird considering I've never done that before, but I think if you go into this movie not knowing anything about the plot like that, you'll enjoy it even more like I did. So, like I mentioned, this is a great movie. I had a really great time with this movie and this is easily the most surprising Star Wars movie so far. There are so many around every corner and every single one of them keeps getting better than the last. So, for starters, I want to talk about the good stuff because there is a lot. The cast is really fantastic here. Daisy Ridley is even better here than in the Force Awakens and the way they show Rey's character more here makes me care a lot more about her. John Boyega is also still a lot of fun as Finn and is still maybe my favourite character in this new trilogy. I'm also still loving Oscar Isaac as Poe. He seems a lot of fun and he's still one of my favourite parts of these new Star Wars movies. But, the ones I want to give a special mention to are, one Carrie Fisher as Leia, given how this is probably her last movie since she died at the beginning of the year, she did a fantastic job with this character and really gave it her all. Two, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, he's still a super cool villain and I got to understand him a lot more. They made him even more conflicted here and so I cared about him much more and he was also just really cool. And three, Mark Hamill as Luke. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything about him, but, I just want to say, this is the best performance I've ever seen from him as this character. He is absolutely incredible as this character here. This is one of the best performances I've seen in a long time. His performance was so emotional and I really cared about this guy. He was already my favourite character in the original movies, and, while I kinda prefer that version of the character, this is easily the best performance Hamill ever did as him. The visuals, as you'd expect from a Star Wars movie, are also all really cool. And the action is spectacular. Some of the best action in this whole franchise. I thought a lot of these Lightsaber fights were really well made and really well choreographed and shot. Now, the main thing I absolutely loved in this movie was the directing. Rian Johnson did a perfect job directing this movie. Some of the shots here are some of the best I've seen in a long time. Rian was the perfect choice for this movie. I thought he did a phenomenal job. But also, just the way he handled the scenes. The camerawork, the sound design, the music, the pacing of the scenes, the visuals, everything. He did an incredible job and I have to give him a lot of credit for how well made this movie is. His direction here was done beautifully. That isn't something I usually talk about, but here, it's so noticeable and I really wanted to talk about that. But, also, like I said the best part of the movie, besides the directing, is the story and the many twists there are. They're pretty much everywhere and that's something else Rian Johnson did so fantastically. And with that, I also thought the characters were more humanised and the emotions were really well earned. Especially when we got more into these characters and learned about them. I thought it was fantastic and really well handled. Especially one in particular that I'll talk about in the spoilers. I also liked how, even though the characters were humanised, they were still kinda not perfect. And, by that I mean they still make mistakes and they have some stuff to over come and all that. That's how you make compelling characters and make them likeable. And a lot of the characters actions here were actually really beautiful and really well done. The movie's also really funny in a lot of scenes. I also liked how well the marketing for this was really well done. The trailers didn't give anything away. The way these scenes are done in the trailers are different to how they're actually done and this is exactly how to market a movie. Okay, so now that I've talked a lot about how much I love this movie, let's get into the negatives, 'cause, like I said, this was far from perfect. Firstly, probably my biggest issue with this movie was a the pacing. There were some moments here that dragged the film for me. Especially one thing in particular that I'll talk about in the spoilers. There were also some C.G.I here that looked, not bad, but a little unconvincing. And probably the last negative I have is that sometimes there are sequences where the film could of benefited a lot from a scene, but they chose to have something happen to sorta keep those from happening. And that was kind of a let down because a lot of those scenes could have made this movie better. Aside from that though, I love this movie and think it's one you'll absolutely have a blast with. It's another really fantastic Star Wars movie and it definitely lives up to the hype. This was my most anticipated movie of the year after Spider-Man: Homecoming came out and I was not let down at all. And so everyone, that's my non spoiler review of Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Thank you all for reading, I had a great time talking about this movie and I hope you will when you see it. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think. Go see it and then read the rest for my thoughts on the spoilers. Okay, now we're going to get into the spoilers and this is going to be pretty long.
Spoilers:
Okay, first, I want to talk about that part of the movie I thought kinda dragged the movie down a bit and that's the Finn and Rose storyline trying to find the hacker so they can stop the First Order from finding the Resistance. That whole scene wasn't bad and I enjoyed the character of Rose, but, they spent way too much time on it and every time they went back to that part of the story I kept waiting for it to go back to Rey and Luke or the Resistance. And even though I thought Rose was enjoyable, there were some scenes with her where I thought she could have been written better. And, the other problem I had when I said that this movie has scenes that could have been better, but they did something else to avoid it, I'm talking about when Finn was about to sacrifice himself but then Rose saved him. I'm happy he's alive. I really like him, but, if they had him sacrifice himself, I feel it would have made the moment a lot more powerful. I just thought they coulda had more things in this that could have made it better and better put together at parts. There were also some parts where I thought they were just being like other Star Wars movies like when Snoke is showing Rey the Resistance being destroyed like in Return of the Jedi when Darth Sidious was showing Luke the fleet being destroyed. But, moving away from the negatives, let's talk about the spoilers that I did like. I really liked how we finally see Leia using the Force when it looks like she's about to die, but then she uses the Force to bring herself back to the ship. I really liked that, but, this kinda makes me asks what are they going to do with Leia now that Carrie Fisher has passed away and she's alive at the end of this movie. I really want to know what they're going to do there. The Force is also another thing to talk about here. Probably the biggest thing to discuss is when Rey and Kylo Ren are sorta talking and when they're done talking in that one scene, Kylo has rain on his glove from wiping his face and it's like he transported the rain from where Rey was. I'm really curious about that and it sorta makes the actual thought of the Force more interesting because maybe more can be done with it. Speaking of Kylo Ren, the scene where he kills Snoke is interesting because, this is what I meant when saying there's a lot of surprises because, when he does it, you think he's turning good, especially when he and Rey kinda team up for a moment to fight those guards, but then we see he just did it so he could be free from the conflict within himself, but then he asks Rey to join him so they can start an empire together. And it ended with that shot of them both using the Force on the Lightsaber, but then it breaks in half from them using the Force on it too much, and that whole shot with them reaching out to it at the same time was something I meant when I was talking about the great directing by Rian Johnson. Speaking of Rian, I loved the way he had Rey's training being done inside that cave with the many Rey's. That whole scene was cool and really interesting. Now, probably the biggest thing to talk about is Luke at the end. But, at the start, we're shown that he's sorta like Yoda in Empire Strikes Back when he was in exile and he's different to how he was. Speaking of Yoda, it was cool to see him and I loved seeing him, but, at the start when Luke first holds the Lightsaber, it's kind of a funny moment when he sorta throws it behind him because he feels that he doesn't want to have anything to do with this anymore because, as we saw, Kylo Ren, when he was still Ben Solo, had this darkness inside him and that's why he tried to kill him but then Ben betrayed him and destroyed everything, including the other apprentices Luke had. And when R2 showed Luke that video of Leia from a New Hope, it added more to him because that's the main thing, I think, that changes his mind and makes him decide to help the Resistance. And I loved the ending where he was using the Force to make a Force version of himself appear and make him look younger and then he faces Kylo Ren. That whole scene on that planet while it was happening had a lot of thoughts going through my head. And when we saw that it was the Force, it made it more interesting. And the part where we saw Luke using his old Lightsaber instead of his other one was really powerful and the whole conflict with him and Kylo Ren on that planet when the Resistance was trying to get away was fantastic. And I thought that scene with Luke and Leia was really sweet. That was a really nice scene. I loved it. And finally, Luke dying at the end. I didn't expect that at all and I'm really curious about that because that can be a really unique thing. When I say that, I mean, they could have it be it's own thing, but it's also like in a New Hope when Obi Wan "died" but he actually gave himself up to the Force. That was great. Overall, from the different things this film did, I'm very interested to see what Episode IX does with it. And so everyone, that's my entire review of Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

My favourite Marvel superhero stories

With me talking little about comics lately, I thought I'd talk about my favourite stories relating to different Marvel heroes. This will obviously have stories I've spoken about before and so I'll pretty much be saying the same thing for some of those. Others, though, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about other graphic novels I love that I haven't spoken about and want to explain why I like them so much. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt:

Starting us off is Spider-Man. As said in my top 10 Marvel stories in October, the reason this graphic novel is so good is because of how well it portrays both Spider-Man and Kraven. And I especially like how, even though this is a Spider-Man story, it's still really, really dark. And seeing how Spider-Man is one of the more lighter and more fun Marvel characters ever, that's saying something. And it's great that Kraven, who's considered kind of a silly Spider-Man villain, is actually driven to more darker places himself and I like that.
Iron Man: Extremis:

So, far a lot of you, I'm sure for Iron Man, you were most likely hoping to see Demon in a Bottle because it's the most popular Iron Man story, and, while, yes, that is a really good Iron Man story too, Extremis is my personal favourite. When Tony gets nanotes which causes the suit to be part of him, he begin to realise that he's also becoming part of the suit too. This story also has some of the best art I've ever seen in a graphic novel and some of the best action I've ever seen in any kind of comic book. What they touch on here was a huge inspiration for the Iron Man movies. Especially Iron Man 3.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier:

The inspiration for the second Captain America movie of the same name, this has Cap fighting the mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier and so now he has to track him down and stop him. However, as he gets closer, he finds out it's actually his old friend who he thought was dead, Bucky Barnes. Now Cap has an even bigger challenge, especially seeing how his enemy is his old best friend. Ed Brubaker's script is always surprising and the ending is something you wouldn't believe.
Thor: The Surtur Saga:

I haven't actually read a ton of Thor comics, but, out of all the ones I have read, the Surtur Saga is by far my favourite. When Surtur attacks Asgard, Thor teams up with Loki and Odin in order to save everyone. Even with so much going on, Walt Simonson still manages to get tons of character into it and is obviously really funny. And, if you ever read it, you can see the inspiration this year's Thor: Ragnarok took from this.
Hulk: World War Hulk:

This was a bit of a toss up for me when it came to the Hulk stories, because, for me, it really came down to either this or Planet Hulk. But, when I thought about it more, I thought about the one I had more fun reading, and, for me, this is that one. This actually takes place right after Planet Hulk where Hulk is sent into Space by the Illuminati and lands on a planet called Sakaar where he begins to live a peaceful life, but when he thinks the Marvel heroes have destroyed it, that's where World War Hulk happens and Hulk returns to Earth to get revenge. From there, it's Hulk and his Sakaar friends trying to fight the heroes. Like what I said before, what I like about this is how much fun it is and how much it embraces the fact that, since it's a comic book, it can be as crazy as it wants. And trust me, the lengths this story goes, it is so crazy. Especially the final fight between Hulk and Sentry, which is also one of my favourite comic book fights ever. With tons of action in the story and great interactions, this is easily Hulk's most smashing story.
Daredevil: Born Again:

As said before, not just by me, but by a lot of Marvel fans, Born Again is one of Frank Miller's best works ever and one of the best, if not, the best Marvel graphic novel ever. Not my personal favourite, but still. Kingpin discovers Daredevil's secret identity and uses it to ruin his life. With Matt now trying to stop him, it takes the work of a real hero to get back up and face his enemy no matter what. And that's what this story shows so well. The fact that no matter how much a hero gets beat down, he can get up no matter what obstacle may be lying ahead. And this story does an excellent job with taking it's time to show this and give us amazing action and emotion. And this is the best representation I've ever seen Daredevil in comics.
Wolverine: Weapon X:

While Old Man Logan is the more praised Wolverine story, for me, that goes to the original 1991 story by Barry Windsor-Smith. Finally giving fans all the answers they wanted about their favourite member of the X-Men, Weapon X is a truly gruesome tale with tons of blood and even kinda scary images in almost every page. With Wolverine being shown getting taken apart and getting graphed with Adamantium throughout his entire skeleton, this story keeps getting more and more enthralling. I'm not saying too much because I already did in my top 10 Marvel stories, so, just read that if you haven't to get my full thoughts and to know what it's about. Overall, it's super interesting and great to read if you've always been interested to know about the origin of the Adamantium inside Wolverine.
X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga:

Crowned by many to be, not just the greatest X-Men story ever, but also one of the great Marvel stories ever. Remember when I said before about how these comic stories really like to shows how crazy it can really be, but, they never go too far with it and they tell a great story with it too. And with the lengths it'll go for with that is really cool. The Dark Phoenix Saga is also just a ton of fun and it's kind of a different turn for comics from back then with it being kinda dark and showing a key member of the X-Men dying.
Fantastic Four: 1234:

While the Fantastic Four haven't had the best luck with movies so far, the same can't be said about the comics they originate from. And this is by far their best story. When Doctor Doom uses a his powers to turn the Thing back to Ben Grimm back to normal, the team begins to fight amongst each other as a plan set up by the evil doctor. Hoping they'll do this, Doctor Doom has a plan with a reality altering machine. The Fantastic Four's writing is at it best here, and, while we haven't seen a good Fantastic Four movie, now that Marvel has the rights to them back, if they give them a movie in the M.C.U, hopefully they can use this graphic novel's story. Especially since it helps with showing how good these characters really are.
Avengers: Civil War:

And finishing us off is the Avengers with my favourite graphic novel and comic book story of all time, Civil War. I've already talked about this a ton of times before so I don't know what else to say. It's a super well told story with super interesting topics that has the best art I've ever seen in a graphic novel and the best action too. And it was cool they sorta did a different conflict for the heroes. It wasn't hero vs. villain. It was hero vs. hero. And, so, you want my full thoughts on it, read ,y top 10 Marvel graphic novels list. And so everyone, those are my favourite Marvel superhero stories. Thank you all for reading, I hope you all like this and please comment down below to tell me what you think or, if you've read any Marvel stories, comment to tell me what it is.

My top 10 favourite lines from SpongeBob Squarepants

With SpongeBob Squarepants being my favourite TV show of all time, it's bound to have tons of memorable and funny lines in it, and, oh boy, it does. The lines from this show are some of the funniest and most quotable I've ever heard in a TV show. And given how a lot of other people say the same thing, it's easy to see why. And the way I'm going to do this is say what the line is, show the clip and then explain why I like it so much.(And, yeah, this will mostly have a lot of Patrick moments in it.) And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. "Who are you callin' Pinhead?":
Starting us off at number 10 is the best line and visual joke from the episode "Survival of the Idiots." When SpongeBob and Patrick go to Sandy's house, it's winter and they can't get out. When they hear Sandy talking about some criminals from Texas in her sleep, they pretend to be them and one of them is called Pinhead, which SpongeBob calls Patrick and when he does, we get a great visual joke of Patrick's head looking pointier and him saying "who are you callin' Pinhead." Just the way his head and face, as well as just how well the line is delivered is hilarious.
9. "Not until 4":
In the episode "I had an accident," SpongeBob is sledding with Sandy and Patrick, until he begins to fall from his board and is plummeting to the ground Patrick has the idea of falling on his other butt, whatever that means. When Sandy asks if he's gotta be stupid somewhere else, he responds saying "Not until 4." Almost like he has an appointment somewhere else to be stupid. What else could a guy like him say? Curious, though. Who cares? It's still such a hilarious and random sentence, you can't help but laugh.
8. "Not my wallet":
Note: Never have Patrick's help to teach someone how to be good. When Patrick releases Man Ray, they try to help him how to be good, even if he's just tricking them so they take the tickle belt he has on off. When Patrick does a lesson where Man Ray is supposed to return his wallet to him, he ends up forgetting what he's doing and keeps asking what he's talking about. And the reaction Man Ray gives him is some of the show's best comedy every. Especially when he eventually keeps smashing Patrick into the ground by his head.
7. "Finland":
In one of the show's best episodes ever "Frakendoodle," Patrick steals the episode with every line that comes out of his mouth. And this is by far the best one in the entire episode. When DoodleBob draws a bowling ball with the magic pencil, he strikes it at Patrick whose head becomes a bowling pin for a second and when the ball hits it, he shatters into multiple ones and hits the ground shouting "FINLAND." Who knows what that means. Maybe it's just some random babble from getting hit on the head hard, he got hit so hard he was knocked to Finland, or, he begins hallucinating of Finland when he hits the ground. Either way, the line itself is so, so memorable and hilarious.
6. "Eh, eh, eh":
After Plankton switches lives with Mr. Krabs, he begins to run the Krusty Krab and SpongeBob and Squidward are his employees. But, what he soon realises is that SpongeBob is not the easiest to control when it comes to giving him a weird answer. When Plankton just says that he's using too much sauce, he makes one of the funniest faces in the show and starts saying "Eh, eh, eh, eh" for no reason, but the way he says it and the face always makes me laugh.
5. "Is mayonnaise an instrument?":
With Patrick's intelligence being what it is, we can easily see that his knowledge of musical instruments isn't very high. When Squidward asks his band  if any of them have played a musical instrument before, Patrick responds asking Squidward if mayonnaise is an instrument and Squidward's answer is quite clear. However, afterwards, without even saying it, Squidward answers his next question, that being is horseradish an instrument too. And just that whole random question has me cracking up every time.
4. "The world's smallest violin":
In the episode "Squilliam's Return" Squidward asks Mr. Krabs if he can run the Krusty Krab for one night to impress his rival Squilliam, Mr. Krabs' first response almost kinda sounds like a mocking as he says he's gonna play a sad song for him on the world's smallest violin. But as it goes, he reveals that he really is play a tiny violin. How he got that given how cheap he is, I have no idea. Again, just given how random this joke is, I love it and it almost kinda seems like something out of either Chowder or Family Guy. And I love it. It's so hilarious and they keep it going through the episode a few times.
3. "The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma":
In the episode "The Secret Box," Patrick is having fun with whatever is inside his new secret box. As SpongeBob becomes more and more curious to know what's inside it, as well as our own curiosity, Patrick says it's his own and own to see. And even goes so far as to say that his own mind is complex, not even SpongeBob would be able to comprehend it, for some reason. Anyway, this leads into the best visual gag in the whole show, where we see a carton of milk falling over and spilling onto a table. Again, it's so weird and so random, but it fits the character so well and it makes me laugh so hard with no explanation.
2. "Chocolate":
Probably the most popular line in the whole show, everyone knows this line and love it, especially if they're fans of the show. During the episode "Chocolate with Nuts," when SpongeBob and Patrick start delivering chocolate, they visit a guy named Tom who begins to go crazy shouting "CHOCOLATE" at them. And he follows them throughout the majority of the episode screaming the same thing over and over and over. Not once does it ever get stupid or annoying and I love it every time we see him.
And my number 1 favourite line from SpongeBob Squarepants is... "Soiled it":
So this is a weird pick if you're a fan of the show, but this is a line I absolutely love and is probably the one I've quoted the most is the show. Again, in the episode "The Algee is Always Greener," the episode where Plankton switches lives with Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob "confesses" that he messes up a customer's drink and thinks he's "Soiled the good Krusty Krab name." After that, we get a hilarious scene where he keeps saying "Soiled it." And all that is why "Soiled it" is my favourite line in SpongeBob Squarepants. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think, or, if you like SpongeBob, please comment your favourite line.

My top 5 new Marvel interactions I want to see

So yesterday it was officially announced that Disney has bought 20th Century FOX. Which means Marvel has the rights to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four back after a long, long time. Obviously, as you can tell, this has me beyond excited. I've wanted to see this for a long time since I'm such a huge fan of all these characters and Marvel in general. So, I thought I'd make a top 5 list of characters from Marvel and those two and talk about which characters I want to see interacting with an M.C.U character when they hopefully bring them into it, which I would honestly geek out about if they did. And, so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
5. Hulk and the Thing:

Starting us off is, probably, the most obvious on the list, and that's Hulk and the Thing. If you're a Marvel fan, then you know that the two of them are kinda rivals. These two are always trying to prove that they're stronger than the other and so they're always picking fights with each other. And seeing that actually happen in the M.C.U would be great. We've already seen the Tony in his Hulkbuster armour fight Hulk, so seeing the Thing fighting him would be amazing and they could even do it where panels are sorta used to help make it look accurate. Just a thought.
4. Captain America and Cyclops:

This might be one that's kinda far fetched, but I would really like to see Cap and Cyclops interacting. The two of them are sometimes friends and sometimes against each other, but I think all that would be really entertaining to see, especially if they can use the story Avengers vs. X-Men. Doing that might be cool to see and the two of them interacting could be the best part of it.
3. Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic:

This is another one that's kinda obvious, but I think Tony interacting with Reed would be cool considering they're both friends in the comics. And so having that incorporated into the M.C.U would also be really awesome to see. Especially if they can get a really good actor to play Reed, the two of them could work off each other really well. And, again, especially since he'll be working off Robert Downey Jr.
2. Spider-Man and Deadpool:

This one is most likely the most obvious. While, I'm sure some of you thought this would be number 1, I still want to see Spider-Man and Deadpool interacting and it would be a dream come true for a lot of Marvel fans. While Disney does own FOX now, I doubt that's gonna get in the way of Deadpool's R rating, which is weird considering Disney doesn't really like to release R rated movies. But, still, if they could have the two of them talking and throwing out tons of jokes to each other would be hilarious. I think that would be the funniest thing we'd ever see in a comic book movie.
And my number 1 Marvel interaction I want to see is... Spider-Man and Wolverine:

And finally at number 1 is the web head and animalistic X-Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Even though I love Hugh Jackman's performance as Wolverine, I never really felt like he was actually Wolverine. It always sorta felt like someone pretending to be Wolverine. I can't explain it. It's just something I've always thought when watching the X-Men movies. But now, with the X-Men and Fantastic Four hopefully coming to the M.C.U, I would love to especially see Wolverine in it since he's always been my favourite member of the X-Men and is one of my favourite superheroes of all time. And the thing I would love to see is, well, obviously seeing him in his costume for the first time on the big screen, but also, seeing him interacting with Spider-Man, and, if they can get a great actor to play him, maybe they can make it so that I feel like I'm actually watching Wolverine on film. That's just my opinion, I still love Hugh Jackman and it's sad to see him go after 17 years, but I still want to see Wolverine, along with the others, in the M.C.U. And I would love to see him and Spider-Man playing off each other. The two of them are kinda friends in the comics and whenever they interact, it's always funny and really enjoyable. Tom Holland is already the perfect Spider-Man, so having a great actor playing off of him as Wolverine would be a dream come true again. And so, everyone, those are my pick for the top 5 new Marvel interactions I want to see happen in the M.C.U really soon. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think, or, if you want to, please comment to tell me what one you'd want to see.

My top 10 other favourite Dragon Ball Z characters

So about 5 months ago, I made a top 10 list of my favourite Dragon Ball Z characters, and with Dragon Ball Super introducing new characters, I thought I'd go back and continue the last list I made and talk about my other favourite characters from this beloved anime. Note, this isn't a remake of that list, I'm just talking about my other favourite characters I really like from it. Just making sure. And given how the Dragon Ball franchise is filled with tons of memorable characters, (while not being the most memorable anime characters, I'd give that to Naruto), the characters are still super iconic and a lot are really likeable. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. Bulma:

Starting us off at number 10 is the brains of the Z fighters group and the wife to Vegeta, Bulma. While I may not of liked her a lot originally with her being super whiny, annoying and self-centred at points, as the show and entire franchise kept going, she got way better and much more likeable. Especially in the two Dragon Ball Z movies, Battle of Gods and Resurrection F along with Dragon Ball Super. Her brain helps think of a lot of the mechanics that help out the Z fighters and other people too. Plus, it must take a special person to make Vegeta show his softer side and get mad if someone hurts her.
9. Kami:

Next up is the watchtower and Earth guardian Namek, Kami. Originally being evil and tied to Piccolo to create Demon King Piccolo, they eventually separated thanks to Goku and Kami was placed as guardian of the Earth. A very nice and kind-hearted person, he'll do anything to protect the Earth and everyone on it, even if it means self-sacrifice.
8. Videl:

Gohan's wife and strong fighter is at number 8. Videl was a girl Gohan met at college who he began to grow a crush on. She's also the daughter of Hercule Satan. When her and Gohan began to train for the Martial Arts Tournament, they began a relationship which is still going on with the two of them now married and have a daughter named Pan. And, while I don't think she's as good now as she was in the World Tournament Saga, she's still really likable and I'm excited to see what they do with her next.
7. Tien:

At number 7 is one of Goku earlier friends and kinda rival to Yamcha, Tien. This three eyed guy was originally an egotistical fighter with his small partner Chiaotzu. But during the original Tournament when Goku was younger, the two of them fought and when they did, they became close friends. Now one of Goku's best allies, he's always friendly and a great fighter and the third eye on his forehead allows him to use psych abilities.
6. Android 18:

At number 6 is one of Dr. Gero's android creations and wife to Krillin, Android 18. When Dr. Gero originally created her along with the other androids, she was doing everything she could to find and kill Goku. But after Cell was released and tried to absorb both her and Android 17, she changed and began to help them and even begin a relationship with Krillin and now the two of them have a daughter.
5. Majin Buu:

This huge pink bubble gum looking monster was the biggest challenge Goku and the other fighters ever faced in the original Dragon Ball Z. This creature has been around forever and was discovered by the wizard Bibidi. When he unleashed Buu on worlds to destroy them, Bibidi was killed and cloned himself and he was named Bobidi. When he was released, Buu was a stupid moron who destroyed everything in his path and was like a little child doing it. When he separated and became good, his evil side, named Kid Buu, was even more evil and more destructive. Even going so far as to, literally, destroy the whole planet. When Goku and the other managed to save it and destroy him, the good side of Buu, named Fat Buu, was turned into an ally and now even a friend to Goku and the others. Especially Hercule Satan. I really like that. the fact that he's an ally now and that he's friends with Goku. And even before that, he was an awesome villain with being the hardest one everyone had fought up to that point and doing a bunch of different abilities to fight.
4. Beerus:

Next on the list is the god of destruction and the most recent character on the list, Lord Beerus. Beerus was created for the movie Battle of Gods. Being asleep for many years, he awoke with the thought of blowing up the whole planet. When he heard of him, Goku could do nothing but think about how much he wanted to fight him, which helped Goku transform in the Super Saiyan God with red hair.

Beerus himself is also just so entertaining with mainly sticking around and choosing not to blow up the planet all for the purpose of eating delicious foods. I find him really funny too and super likeable despite some of his actions.
3. Goten:

At number 3 is Goku and Chi-Chi's second son and best friend to kid Trunks, Goten. While Goku was dead in Other World with King Kai for seven years, Chi-Chi had another son named Goten who looks exactly like Goku. While not exactly meeting Goku's level of intelligence when he was that age and being a small bit smarter, he still has the same heart and is as likeable as the rest. He's also really funny and I really like the relationship he and Trunks have.
2. Dende:

Coming in close to number 1 and the new guardian of the Earth is Dende. This Namekian was originally a small child on Namek. When Gohan and Krillin arrived to find the Namekian Dragon Balls and stop Frieza, they met him as a survivor of a tiny village that Frieza then destroyed. Now a great friend to Gohan, he possesses powers like healing which helped them a lot during the Frieza Saga and the Cell Saga. He's also a really kind character too and I really like the interactions between him and Gohan.
Honourable mentions:
King Kai,

Yamcha,

Android 16,

Yajirobe,

Mr. Popo

And my number 1 other favourite Dragon Ball Z character is... Master Roshi:

And finally at number 1 is the Turtle Hermit himself, Master Roshi. This 430 year old man was Goku and Krillin's original martial arts master and is the one who taught Goku the Kamehameha technique. But, even more than that is the thing that makes him who he really is, a super huge pervert who'll do anything to get a sneak peek at the ladies. And I do mean "peek." (He's probably the biggest inspiration to other animes who try to use a perverted old man like Jiraiya from Naruto or Makarov from Fairy Tail.) He's also super strong and when there's a danger to the planet, he's able to show everyone just how strong his own Kamehameha really is. Plus, just look how buff he can get when he needs to.

And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 other favourite Dragon Ball Z characters. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think, or, if you like Dragon Ball Z, please tell me your favourite character.
