X-Men: Dark Phoenix trailer

So this was sort of a surprised for me yesterday, but we actually got a real trailer for the new X-Men FOX movie coming out, X-Men: Dark Phoenix. I was also honestly shocked to see that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were in this because I thought their contracts expired after X-Men: Apocalypse. But they're still going and I wasn't really sure that they were still going along with this Dark Phoenix movie. But, after this, there's the Gambit movie that might be coming out, after a humongous train wreck of a production it's been in and there might be more after that, but, honestly, after this, I think FOX should just stop with the X-Men movies. Personally, I think they've been going too long and they should just let Marvel have the X-Men back. That actually might be happening soon, along with Deadpool and the Fantastic Four. Still though, this trailer is kind of a mixed bag for me. It doesn't look terrible, but I think it doesn't look that great to me. Maybe it will be good, but only time will tell. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like it.

Second Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them: The Crimes Of Grindlewald trailer

So with more movie trailers coming out lately, mainly around newer films that're coming out soon, one of them that was released today was the next trailer for my second most anticipated movie for the rest of the year behind Wreck-It Ralph 2, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them: The Crimes Of Grindlewald. This trailer looks like it's showing more of the actual plot of the movie and shows that this could actually be a darker movie, at least, that's what I got from it. It's showing off more of those amazing creatures, which the Harry Potter series is known for having, and it's looking very interesting to me. I'm curious to know how this stacks up to the other movies in the series and I'm curious to know how a lot of the elements from the movie are gonna happen. And so, here it is and I hope you all like it.

6 Mission Impossible movies ranked

So, the Mission Impossible franchise isn't exactly a series I've grown up with and is more of a series of films I've been interested in seeing for a while and actually got into recently. I'm not a mega fan of it, I either love or like the ones that are actually good, but, I don't know if I can say I like the franchise as much as some other people who are really big fans of it. Still though, the ones that are good in this series are really, really great... mostly. Also, this will have spoilers for the most recent one, so I'd recommend seeing them first and then reading this. Anyway, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
6. Mission Impossible 2:
Starting us off at number 6 is the 2000 sequel to the original Mission Impossible movie. When this came out, it obviously had a lot of that whole sequel problem of being not as good as the original and having a lot of really stupid moments in it. And by stupid, I mean laughably stupid. They obviously wanted to make Ethan Hunt more of a charming, handsome guy who's a bit of a playboy, which is kinda hilarious with the way they do it. The plot is also just really stupid with so many dumb moments here and there. There's the really bad music, action, editing, directing and characters. Honestly, there's like a billion things I could talk about that are stupid in this, but it would probably be too long. You get the point, it's really stupid and has nonstop bad things in it.
5. Mission Impossible 3:
After a kinda huge disappointed with Mission Impossible 2, J.J Abrams was hired to direct the third movie to sorta help the franchise. And, yeah, I'd say he did a decent job. It wasn't anything special, but it does have some pretty cool moments and easily the best villain in the franchise with Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen. He's definetly the best part of the movie, but there also some other things in it too that are kinda interesting like Ethan Hunt having a wife and some of the interactions. I actually like the fact that Ethan has more of a character here and I like that we learn more about him. The only downfall is that it's not very special and I don't really remember much about it apart from the villain and one scene on a bridge. J.J Abrams directing is really good, but it's still not super memorable.
4. Mission Impossible:
The movie that started this entire franchise back in 1996. I only first saw this recently, and I was curious for a few reasons like how it's a really famous movie and how I've heard a lot about it. And, while I may not have been able to follow everything because it is a pretty complicated story, I still had a lot of fun with this. This was really Tom Cruise's big staring role. This is probably the character and franchise he's most known for doing and he's great here. So are all the other cast members like Ving Rhames and Jon Voight. The movie's also uniquely and beautifully directed. While it may seem kinda dated at parts, it doesn't really matter because the rest of the movie is pretty fun.
3. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation:
So after a really successful sequel with Ghost Protocol, the fifth entry into the series had quite a lot riding on it. And for a fifth movie in a franchise, it's pretty impressive. In my opinion, this is probably the most overrated movie in the franchise. It's really good and really well made, but I don't think I liked it as much as everyone else did. Still though I really enjoyed it and it has some really great moments and great action scenes. I especially loved the motorcycle scene and it has some pretty funny moments. Rebecca Ferguson was a great new addition to this and the rest of the cast does a fantastic job. I think the opening isn't all that great. I'm not talking about the plane scene, that was cool, I mean afterwards. It only really got better for me during the final third of the movie, especially the climax. There's also a lot of tense scenes in this that I thought worked.
2. Mission Impossible: Fallout:
Coming in close to number 1 is the most recent Mission Impossible movie from this year, Fallout. I was actually thinking about seeing this because of what I had heard about it and also because I had seen the fourth and fifth movie beforehand. And this movie total delivered on it. I was so surprised with how much I like this movie. It has some of the best moments in the whole franchise and it has some of the best action scenes I think I've ever seen, especially a fight in a bathroom, which might be one of the best action scenes I've ever seen. The cast is also fantastic and the stunt work is amazing. It also has another amazing action scene with a helicopter scene. The movie's also really suspenseful and has a lot of stakes in it. My heart was literally pounding throughout the entire finale. It's also really well directed and there were so many great shots in this. It's one probably in my opinion in the opening. It's just something the characters do when they leave the plutonium behind. I'm not gonna lie, that kinda frustrated me. Besides that though, it's a great movie and I like that we got to know more of the characters again.
1. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol:
And finally at number 1 is the fourth Mission Impossible movie and easily the most entertaining one in this whole series so far, Ghost Protocol. This movie is actually what really got me into the franchise. It was on one night and I watched it with my dad. I ended up thinking that it was really entertaining, which it really is. This is probably the most fun Mission Impossible movie with amazing scenes in it and really unique scenes in it. Like the last one though, it's one problem is that the villain is really bad. Probably the worst in the whole franchise. He's a very boring villain, though, thankfully we don't spend much time on it and it more on watching Ethan and his team. Tom Cruise is of course great here, so are Simon Pegg, Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner. I thought it was also interesting to have a movie where, basically, none of their tech works. It all breaks and I thought that was interesting considering the franchise is about a lot of technology. There's also really great action scenes in this like the carpark scene and the building climbing scene. And, really, this is just the most fun I've ever had with any Mission Impossible movie. And so everyone, that's my ranking of all 6 Mission Impossible movies. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think, or, if you like the Mission Impossible movies, please tell me how you'd rank them.

Final Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet trailer

So now with Wreck-It Ralph 2 coming out in a couple of months from now, this might actually be my most anticipated movie for the rest of the year. I love the first movie so much and given how well this marketing has been looking so far, this could actually prove to be every Disney fan's dream on the big screen with there being a ton of Disney characters together at once. However, with this trailer, it looks like they're putting more focus on the story and more focus on what we're gonna be seeing. That's honestly kinda cool, but I also fear that this might have a bit of the problem the first one had where it's building up that this is gonna be one thing with having a lot of Disney characters together at once and then not have them in there a lot. I know it might not be the main focus, but I still want to see them in here more. Still though, I'm super excited and I hope you all like this.

Captain Marvel trailer

So now that the M.C.U is sorta done with its movies for this year, it's about time we got a look at what's coming next year and what I'm talking about it Captain Marvel coming out in March of next year. It's not a huge trailer because we don't get any huge scenes of action, but we do get some and we even get some for things like the Skrulls, we see young Nick Fury and Coulson and Brie Larson is looking pretty cool as Captain Marvel herself. I'm interested to see what they do with her character and I want to see how the Skrulls are gonn play a part in this. The fact that they're actually in the M.C.U is awesome and I want to see them being done right. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Kingdom Hearts 3 TGS Big Hero 6 trailer

WE GET SO MUCH MORE INFO ABOUT IT. AT THE BEGINNING, I WAS THINKING THAT THIS LOOKS GREAT AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT, BUT THEN IT GETS A BILLION TIMES BETTER TOWARDS THE END WITH THERE BEING MORE INFO SHOWED OF THE STORY AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND WE GET ANOTHER MONTAGE AT THE END SHOWING DIFFERENT CLIPS FROM THE GAME LIKE WE USUALLY DO. AND THIS JUST MIGHT BE THE BEST KINGDOM HEARTS 3 TRAILER WE'VE GOTTEN SO FAR. AND SO, HERE IT IS AND HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT.

My top 5 anime final battles

Almost every anime out there is always ending with some huge fight between the hero and the villain or some opponent they have to fight in some way. And a lot of these may even end up being some of, if not the best, fight in the entire series. They could be great because of incredible animation, choreography or because of the interactions or just because they're so entertaining and awesome. And so, here I'm counting down my top 5 favourite final battles from anime. There will be some rules here though, this won't have different anime like Fairy Tail, because even though the manga's finished, the anime hasn't caught up yet, Dragon Ball Super with Goku and Frieza vs. Jiren, because some people say that the show is still gonna keep going so it's not the final battle there, and One Piece because neither the anime or manga have finished yet. And so, here we go and I hope you all like this.
5. Yugi vs. Atem (Yu-Gi-Oh!):
Starting us off is the final duel between Yugi and Atem. After facing so many duels beforehand, it was all leading up to this. With Atem now remembering his name and his memories, he and Yugi had to duel in order for his spirit to pass on. With the two of them constantly looking like they're managing to out do each other's moves. With the risk of Atem being stuck in the real world for another 5000 years is on the line, Yugi must win at all cost. Not only that, but the actual duel is great too with us seeing old cards in play again, especially the Egyptian God Cards. And at the end, when it looks like Atem might win, Yugi pulls out one last card which is able to beat him once and for all, with there being a sad ending where the two of them have to say goodbye.
4. Team Sonic vs. The Metarex (Sonic X):
Kind of an underrated climax for an anime in my opinion is the final fight with Sonic and his team vs. Dark Oak and his two other Metarex. The Metarex manage to fuse together with the Planet Egg  and transform into monsters. At first it's everyone trying to attack them either by using force or by lasers, but then when the Emeralds are able to respond to the Chaos Emeralds which enable Sonic and Shadow to go Super. But when Dark Oak begins to cause the Planet Egg to explode, Cosmo taps into her true power allowing Tails to blast at the planet and, Dark Oak and her. While he hesitates at first, he tragically realises that he has to. And everything about this climax might actually be my favourite part of the whole show. I do also love the parts before this with the whole Shadow trying to attack Cosmo and discovering she's an accidental Metarex spy then finding her home planet. But this entire finale at the planet and them turning into monsters just has so many amazing moments in it in my opinion.
3. Goku and Vegeta vs Kid Buu (Dragon Ball Z):
Probably one of the most famous anime fights of all time, this is easily the biggest fight to happen in Dragon Ball at that point. After Kid Buu destroys the Earth, he teleports to the Kai's home world and has one last fight against Goku and Vegeta. While the actual hand-to-hand stuff is great here, the ending is what really makes this so special with Goku gathering as much energy as he can to form a Spirit Bomb. But, before he does, we get a great scene of Vegeta finally admitting that Goku is the best.
And the it finally works once Mr. Satan manages to convince everyone to help and then when Dende manages to use the Dragon Balls to restore Goku's power. All of this helps Goku to launch the Spirit Bomb at Buu finally killing him.
2. Naruto vs. Sasuke (Naruto Shippuden):
Coming in close to number 1 is the finishing rivalry fight between Naruto and Sasuke at the Final Valley. After the fight with Kaguya, Naruto and Sasuke still had their score to settle. So Sasuke decided to have their fight take place in the same location they fought the first time. Not only is this extremely fulfilling on so many level, but it plainly shows how far animes like this can go and still make it work extremely well. They start off with a simple hand-to-hand fight, then they begin to use their transformations which causes devastation to everything around them. Afterwards, it's another hand-to-hand fight and everything after that gets really brutal with them constantly punching and hitting each other, they're coughing up blood, their losing their teeth and it keeps going until they're both exhausted and it all combinates in one last Rasengan and Chidori clash which causes both of them to lose an arm. And I love everything in this. It has fantastic transformations, amazing hand-to-hand action, brutal displays of force and so many amazing and memorable moments that's helps make a perfect climax to a fantastic anime.
And my number 1 favourite anime final battle is... Everyone vs. Father (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood):
And finally at number 1 is the ending fight scene between everyone at Central going up against Father. After absorbing God and thinking he had it all won, father went to absorb more Philosopher's Stones. But then began a humongous fight between everyone in the show going up against him using everything they can to fight him and make him use his stones. With every character comes so new way to try to attack him. While he may not be moving and while he may be blocking everything they're using, he's burning through his stones fast. Afterwards, while he trying to absorb Ed, Al decides to sacrifice being in the armour and in that world in exchange for letting the Truth give Ed his right arm back which makes Ed so angry that he begins going nuts with attacking Father and punching him over and over. Everything in this climax is the definition of "epic." I love seeing everyone together and using their different fighting style to attack him. And Ed being able to finally give him some real punches is so awesome along with him using alchemy to hit him too in so many ways. I could not be happier with this climax. It was beautifully animated and it has so many amazing moments happing at once, especially when we see everyone attacking him at once. It's exactly what I look for in an anime fight and this delivered on that flawlessly. And so, everyone, those are my top 5 anime final battles. Thank you all for reading, please comment to tell me what you think and, if you like anime too, please tell me what your favourite anime final battle is.

AND SO, HERE IT IS AND I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT.

My top 15 video game franchises I want to see get turned into Pop figures

So, a few weeks ago, I made some lists counting the various franchises of anything entertainment I want to see become Pop figures, and so, continuing that is my list of different video games I want to see become them. Although, like before, I won't be including franchises that have already become figures like Kingdom Hearts or Sonic The Hedgehog or Pac-Man or Megaman or Overwatch or Crash Bandicoot or anything like that. I'm only doing ones that haven't been done yet and I would love if they were. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
15. Kid Icarus

Starting us off is the Kid Icarus series. Something you're gonna see kinda often here is that while these game franchises are pretty huge, they may not have a ton of characters in them. Or at least, none that I think would be capable of being made into figures. And one of those is Kid Icarus. I do think that there's characters here that can be used like Pit, Palutena, Hades, Dark Pit, Viridi and Magnus, but there's not a lot of characters in itself. Still though, those characters alone would be awesome to see and some of them could be holding weapons like Pit and Dark Pit holding bows and Palutena and Viridi holding staffs.
14. EarthBound:

Another one where the option of making a ton of characters into figures is kinda limited because there's not a ton of huge names to this game series. There some pretty obvious ones like Ness, Lucas and Porky, which are the main ones I'd like to see, but there's not a lot of other ones, or at least the ones that aren't huge and even the creatures in it, would be cool to see, but maybe not because it would be hard to do them. At the same time, Funko has managed to do hard figures before, so who know? Maybe so, but I think Ness, Lucas and Porky are the main ones to choose.
13. Xenoblade Chronicles:

This list could be a little farfetched to some people, but I think it would be awesome to see some characters from the Xenoblade Chronicles games transferred to Pop figures such as Shulk himself, along with the others like Fiora, Alvis, Melia, Dunban, Riki, and, who knows, maybe Mayneth and Zanza. I'm sure some of them would be hard to do, but just seeing some of them, or maybe even just Shulk himself, would be cool to see.
12. Bayonetta:

I actually only really got into this one recently, mainly because my brother recommended it to me and because of Super Smash Bros. And I think Bayonetta, while it may not have a ton of options open for a lot characters to be used, there could be some main characters used like Bayonette herself, Jeanne, Balder, Rodin, Rosa Jubileus and Luka. Plus, I think they could do some unique stuff with the Bayonetta one. Meaning they could have her be in different poses and maybe be having her guns in different ways.
11. Metal Gear Solid:

This game's line up of characters to use as Pop figures could actually be pretty big. I'm not huge into the Metal Gear Solid games, but I think some of these would be cool like Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Big Boss, Otacon, Venom Snake, Eva, Quiet and Sniper Wolf. Even if they are gonna make a set for Metal Gear Solid, I doubt all of them would be used. Raiden, I think, would also be pretty cool to see used too. Even just Solid Snake himself would be awesome enough on its own.
10. Star Fox:

This is one where the whole actual Star Fox crew would work. I think having a set alone with Fox and the crew would be awesome like Fox himself, Falco, Slippy, Peppy, Krystal, and maybe some of the villains too like Wolf, Leon and Pigma. Plus, who knows, maybe their ships as well with the characters in them. They've done ones like that before like with Harry Potter with the Hogwarts Express. So maybe they can do something similar with Fox and his ship.
9. Metroid:

This is one where I think the options would only be two, three or four. They could probably just do Samus, then Samus without her suit, Ridley, and maybe even an actual Metroid. They did something like that for Kingdom Hearts with the Shadow Heartless and they're doing something like that for the new set with a Soldier Heartless. So they could do it here and just seeing a Pop figure of Samus in her armoured power suit would be awesome because it's already a really cool design.
8. Fire Emblem:

I wouldn't say a ton of characters would be able to work here, though, and this is just kinda simplifying it, but I think just going with the characters they chose to be in Super Smash Bros. would be a great fit and it would make sense and it wouldn't have to be confusing. Just have Marth, Ike, Lucina, Robin, both boy and girl, and maybe have Corrin too. And they can all have their swords, and Robin can be unique with having a book in his hand.
7. Jak & Daxter:

Jak & Daxter I feel is a franchise with a fair amount of characters that would be good enough to make the cut of figures that could be made into a set. Kinda similar to another franchise you'll see next. But, the ones that would be obvious are Jak & Daxter themselves. Maybe they could do one of Jak by himself and Daxter in another box or make one where they're both together with Jak holding a weapon. The other candidates would be Keira, Samos and even Gol.
6. Ratchet & Clank:

Similar to Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank is a series with a ton of characters that would be similar to theirs in a way. For one, there's Ratchet and Clank themselves. And it could be similar with the two of them together or in two separate boxes. And they could have Ratchet wearing different things like he has in the games and maybe holding different weapons, though mainly just his wrench. The other characters that could be used would be Sasha, Captain Quark, Drek, Angela, Dr. Nefarious, Lawrence and maybe Alister.
5. Final Fantasy:

Now this one can sorta have a humongous roster of characters to turn into Pop figures considering there's so many characters in this franchise. But I think if they were to use the main characters from the different games would be a great start like Cloud, Leon, Tidus and all them for one set and then they could make another for the villains like Sephiroth, Ultimicia, Jecht. I would be amazed if they'd ever manage to get a lot of these characters detail onto the figures, but, at the same time, they've done stuff like that before in other set, so, it's not impossible in my opinion.
4. Kirby:

This one is pretty basic. And when I say basic, I mean the character designs. They could very easily do this one because the character's designs are simple and just having them be made would be cool looking. Especially Kirby himself. Not just him, but also Meta Knight, King Dedede and a Waddle Dee. There doesn't have to be a lot, or even all of them, but still, just those four are enough in my opinion.
3. The Legend Of Zelda:

Now I'm not all that sure about this one because I think I saw somewhere that this has already happened, but I don't really think so, but I really think the Legend Of Zelda should totally get a Pop figure set considering how popular it is. There can be the obvious characters like Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, but I think the other characters in it too like Zelda as Sheik, Kid Link, Ganon, Demise, Saria and so many others. There's a ton of opportunities to go with this and I'd like to see them take advantage of them. I know I'm not a huge fan of Zelda, but I do want to see these bigger know video game franchises turned into figures. I think seeing them would be cool and I'd like to see how they're able to make them.
2. Donkey Kong:

Coming in close to number 1 is another franchise with quite a lot of characters to use at its deposal. And given how huge and small these characters are, especially given their unique designs, I'd like to see a lot of them used. Obviously, there's Donkey Kong himself, then Diddy Kong, who they could do differently. And by that, I mean they could make one of just himself and then maybe another one with his jetpack and peanut guns. There can also be Dixie Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, King K. Rool, Cranky Kong, Tiny Kong, Funky Kong, and so many other characters that could be done in very amazing ways that could be used amazingly.
And the number 1 video game franchise I want to see get turned into Pop figures is... Mario:
And finally at number 1 is the video game franchise that I'm actually surprised hasn't already become a Pop figure set yet, Mario. Given how this is most likely the most popular video game franchise, I'm surprised that so many other video game franchises have already gotten their own set and this hasn't. That kinda baffles me a bit. There are so many memorable characters here and I'd like to see all of the characters being used here. Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Bowser and Bowser Jr. Pus, maybe even the Koopalings, Toad along with Goomba and Koopa. The characters are all amazingly designed and they're all unique themselves. Just given how iconic they all are, I would love to see all of them used. Given how so many other franchises already have been used, even a couple of unknown ones, and this hasn't, is kinda weird. Like I said, this is easily the most iconic and most popular game series ever, and so having these characters made into Pop figures, I think is probably the best thing to make in terms of which video game franchise to make into a set next. And so, everyone, those are my picks for the top 15 video game franchises I want to see become Pop figures. Thank you all for reading, I hope you all liked this and please comment down below to tell me what you think and please comment to tell me what video game franchise you want to see become Pop figures.
