My Minoru Mineta collectible (Review)

So, a few days ago, I was finally able to get the last My Hero Academia Banpresto figure, Mineta. I've recently been getting a lot of these like Kamanari, Tsuyu and Yaoyorozu, and in that Yaoyorozu video I did, I mentioned how the only other character from Class 1A that was made into a Banpresto figure was Mineta and I was thankfully able to find one of him the day after I got the Yaoyorozu one and I was did a review for it as fast as I could because, not only do I really enjoy doing these videos, but I also mentioned in the last video that I was recently able to get a humungous jump in my subscriber count and how I'm trying to reach up to 1000 and I'm doing everything I can to try to make it up that high by the end of the year if I'm able, and I'm also making great progress by doing that with my Community posts as well because I'm posting polls almost everyday and then writing some other thing on my mind the other days. Anyway, as for this figure now, I'm super glad to have finally gotten him because it means I have all the current Class 1A characters that were made into Banpresto figures. I hope they make more at some point soon, but, at the moment, I have all the current ones and it's actually 10 of them despite there being 20 students as a whole. I hope they do ones for the other 10 later on. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My Momo Yaoyorozu collectible (Review)

So, my most recent entry was my YouTube video showing my new anime collectibles of Kaminari, Tsuyu and Giorno. But, in it, I mentioned how one of the only last Banpresto figures for My Hero Academia characters were Yaoyorozu and Mineta. So, soon after I was able to get those figures I just mentioned, I was able to find and order a good priced version of Yaoyorozu and she arrived a few days ago and, not only did I do a review of it, but somehow, it got noticed by a whole bunch of people and helped raise my subscriber count up a huge amount so now my count is at 810, which means I'm getting close to reaching 1000 subscribers and I'm really happy since at the start of this year, I was just a little over 300 and now I'm here. I mean, when I did my review of that Josuke collectible I did last month, that helped a substantial amount too, so, I'm hoping to keep doing well with these and eventually raise my subscriber count up as high as I can. Again, how that many people manage to see my videos like that is a good question and it's especially super rare, but I'm really happy, and, when I did that Josuke one I just mentioned, I got enough subscribers to unlock the Community tab on my YouTube channel. Not sure if I mentioned that before, but, I'm super happy about it and I write on it everyday and I'm so excited to keep going. Anyway, with this video alone, I'm really happy to have this figure. It's another student from Class 1A and the ninth one I have. For some reason, they only did 10 students from Class 1A even though there's 20 students all together, so it's weird they didn't try to do ones for the other 10. Anyway, I'm also super happy and impressed with Banpresto's collectibles and how accurate they can make them to the actual look of the character, even if this one of Yaoyorozu is pretty basic and not anything out of the ordinary. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My Denki Kaminari, Asui Tsuyu and Giorno Giovanna collectibles (Review)

So, guys, recently, I was able to get more Banpresto figures of My Hero Academia characters like Kaminari and Tsuyu. I've been trying to get more characters from Class 1A recently because I would love to get all the Banpresto figures of all the students. Not every student were made into figures, in fact, only half of them were, but I want to try to get as many of them as I can. Now that I have these two, I now have 8 and I just need to get two more so, I'm excited to try to get them. But, not only them, I was also recently able to get a collectible of Giorno Giovana from part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Golden Wind. I was able to add another JoJo to the case I have alongside Josuke. And, what I'm excited about with this is that the last bit of episodes of the Stone Ocean anime will be out in a few weeks, so I'm excited to watch them and finally finish it so I can do reviews of it along with Diamond Is Unbreakable and Golden Wind. I'm really excited to finally do reviews for them and it's just awesome to have another JoJo in the case. Anyway, here they are and I hope you all like this.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

So guys, we're at the newest M.C.U movie and one that was gonna turn out interesting, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I say that because of the fact that this was a film being made after Chadwick Boseman passed away. Ryan Coogler admitted that he actually died shortly after he wrote the original script for this and he had to rewrite the entire thing to not include him and so it was gonna be pretty tragic to watch this since it was a new comic book movie that was a sequel to a movie that was really successful and Boseman had become incredibly synonymous with the character. And, so, in the end, I'm super happy with the end result. As a film that I can imagine must have been very difficult to make since the passing, I think they did the best thing they could have done. I would say this is my favourite M.C.U project this year. This is definitely one of the most emotional M.C.U movies yet. So, let's get into this, and, like always, this will have no spoilers for the first part and then I'll go into all the spoilers afterwards. So, what's the story? After the passing of T'Challa, Wakanda is struggling, especially now that other countries are trying to get access to their Vibranium. Not only that, but they're now also having to deal with a new enemy named Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta, so now, Shuri is trying to step up and take care of things now that things are the way they are. So, like I said, this is already one of the most emotional M.C.U movies because they sorta use the fact that Boseman died as a piece of emotion for the movie because the characters in the movie are constantly feeling T'Challa's absence and it's very emotional because we feel the same way due to the real life event that happened as well. But it doesn't just rely on that, this movie is also phenomenal when it comes to character development because the characters are having to go through a lot in this movie, and, by a lot, I'm also talking about how this movie pretty long. I personally didn't mind because I never really noticed how long this movie was, which is a credit to how well paced the movie is, but also just how well the character development is because we watch them go through tons of development in this. Also, I feel like this movie did right what Eternals did wrong last year. When I saw Eternals, it felt like that movie was trying to make it so that it would be a slow burn so it could build the characters, but I don't think it worked because none of the characters were interesting there, but this movie knew exactly how to do it to make all the characters interesting and I never found it boring. The casting is also incredible here. The first Black Panther movie I think is one of the best performed M.C.U movies and this is exactly the same, everyone does a fantastic job, especially Angela Bassett as Ramonda, she's absolutely amazing in the movie and her performance carries a lot of this movie, especially one scene in particular in the Wakanda throne room, but Letita Wright also does an amazing job. She was one of my favourite aspects of the first movie and I loved her here, especially since she's the main character here and it's interesting how she was elevated from a side character in the first movie to the main character in this, and, yeah, in some other movies that happens and sometimes it doesn't work because sometimes they really were just written to be a side character and not the main focus, but the writing for her here made her a lot more interesting and Letita Wright did an amazing job, her performance also helps carry a lot of the emotion in the movie as well. The movie also just looks incredible. I feel like since they have a place like Wakanda as a setting for this movie, they can get a lot of amazing shots and do other things with the cinematography. Speaking of how the movie looks, the movie's C.G.I is also a lot better this time. The first movie's C.G.I is pretty infamous for not looking finished, especially during the climax, but this movie's C.G.I is a lot better most of the time, as well as the action scenes. There's some really good martial arts action in this and they do a good job with shooting it. There's nothing here that's super intense, but it's still really interesting to watch. I was also shocked to see the surprises in this. There's quite a few twists here and I didn't expect a few of them. I would also say this is the first comic book movie I've maybe ever seen to not have a costume reveal for a good while. This isn't really a spoiler because it was in the trailer, but, yeah, we don't get to see anyone in a superhero suit for a good portion of the movie. That's a lot of praise I've just talked about, but, as far as any problems, there's not many, just a few. For one, there's a few scenes here that I think could have been trimmed down a bit. Like I said, I didn't notice how long this movie really was, but a few scenes do go on a bit too long, one in particular involving exploring Namor's kingdom. It was interesting, but a bit of it didn't seem very necessary. Speaking of Namor, he's probably my main critique with the movie. Not much, and it's not like he's one of the worst M.C.U villains, but sometimes they spend a lot of time on him to help us understand him and his motivation and, while it is interesting, it's not as interesting as Killmonger was in the first movie. Killmonger still might be my favourite M.C.U villain ever because of just how much sympathy I have for him and everything else about him just made him so complex and interesting, and it feels like they wanted to do that again, but it didn't really feel the same, and, again, the fact that they spend a lot of time on him makes it all the more noticeable. Still though, the writing for him was still solid most of the time. Also, occasionally, the C.G.I doesn't look very good. Like I said, it's better than the last movie, but, especially involving one character in this, it's pretty hard to ignore. But, that's that really about it. So, overall, I had a really, really great time with this movie. As someone who loved the first Black Panther movie and was really excited for this, not to mention knowing how hard and tragic it must have been to make this movie given the circumstances, I loved it and I would say it's definitely my favourite M.C.U project this year. So, yeah, I would highly recommend checking this one out, I had a great time with it myself. And so guys, those are my thoughts on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think. Okay, now we're gonna get into the spoilers, if you don't want anything spoiled, go see the movie then come back and read the rest of this.

Spoilers:

Okay, so, I was pretty surprised that they just cut right into the movie. Like, we didn't see any kinda title come up or the Marvel logo, it was just immediately into it with Shuri trying to find a cure for T'Challa and then it shows he died, then there's a funeral for him. It was nice to see that since it was a nice way to honour and respect Boseman and this is what I meant as the film being one of the most emotional M.C.U movies because they constantly think about that. Also, before seeing the movie, I was kinda wondering if they would include the Marvel logo at the beginning they made honouring Boseman they made for the version of Black Panther on Disney+, and they did. I thought it would be nice if they put that in here and they did, so it was really nice to see that. I also thought it was cool to have Iron Heart in this. I don't know much about the character, but I know a small bit and I think Dominique Thorne did a great job with the character. Though, the effects on the suit is what I meant by the C.G.I sometimes looking kinda weird. It was nice to see Martin Freeman back in this as Ross and I still really like him, though, I didn't expect Valentina to be in this. And, that whole scene where Shuri is in Namor's kingdom is what I meant by some of this was dragged out a bit. It felt like the whole exploring of that place went on a bit too long. And then the attack Namor does on Wakanda looked pretty cool and this starts the first twist I mentioned, I didn't expect Ramonda to die here and it was pretty surprising, though, I guess it kinda parallels when T'Chaka died in front of T'Challa and that's when they both become Black Panther. Speaking of, the biggest surprise for me was when Shuri is able to recreate the Heart Shaped Herb and goes to the Ancestral Plane and sees Killmonger there. I didn't expect to see him in this at all, but it was great to see him again and Michael B. Jordan did a fantastic job with him again. And then seeing Shuri becoming the new Black Panther was really awesome and I really liked the final battle. I liked how some of it got kinda brutal like when Shuri had to pull herself free of the spear, and the actual end of it with the jet exploding looked really cool. I also liked how this isn't another M.C.U movie where the main villain dies, I like how they managed to make an alliance out of the whole thing and it was nice to see. As far as the ending, it was fun to see M'Baku and the others back in Wakanda and Shuri's goodbye to Riri was nice and it was cool to see Okoye save Ross, though I do wonder how that's gonna work in the future with his role. But then Shuri remembering T'Challa was really nice and another nice way to honour Chadwick. But then, the mid credit scene, I loved it. It was really nice and really emotional. We got to see T'Challa and Nakia's son who's also named T'Challa and him meeting Shuri was really nice to see and emotional and when it faded and we saw text that said "Dedicated to our friend, Chadwick Boseman", the entire audience just applauded. I was pretty surprised there wasn't an end credit scene, mostly because I thought we were gonna get a Doctor Doom tease, but, this was still a nice way to honour Chadwick. So yeah, overall, I was just really satisfied after seeing this. So, yeah guys, that's my review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

Black Adam

So guys, we're at the latest DC.E.U movie, Black Adam. I actually saw this on the day of release here on the 22nd of October two weeks ago. I'm only doing this now because I wasn't entirely sure if I really wanted to do this. But, now I am and I'll also be doing full spoilers from the beginning because this has been out for about two weeks now and this is also a kinda hard movie to talk about without spoilers, so, if you don't want it spoiled, go watch it then come back and read this. So, this wasn't really a movie I was super hyped for. It looked fine, but nothing about it was really impressing me. I also just hadn't heard that much before seeing it and whatever I did hear wasn't great. I also just didn't have my hopes up for the movie at all because, since nothing was impressing me, I just wasn't all that excited for it. And so, in the end, yeah, I thought this was pretty bad. I don't know if I can say terrible, but, yeah, I just saw this as a bad film. There's a lot of problems I wanna talk about, but I'll go over the story first and I'll go into my general thoughts after. So, it starts by taking place a long time ago showing a the people of Kahndaq under the rule of a king until one of them gets powers and is able to overthrow him. Now, in modern times, he's seen as the hero of the country but it's now taken over by some organisation. Some lady is now trying to find anything to help the country and she discovers the tomb of the hero who's now called Black Adam, played by Dwayne Johnson. He decides to try to help but in brutal ways which gets the attention of the Justice Society like Hawkman, played by Aldis Hodge, Doctor Fate, played by Pierce Brosnan, Atom Smasher, played by Noah Centineo, and Cyclone, played by Quintessa Swindell, who are trying to stop him from going too far. And, I'm gonna stop there. So, immediately, I guess the first thing I should say is that I knew basically nothing about the character before seeing it, so, it was kinda nice having this be my introduction to him, and the main positive I can say is that Dwayne Johnson does pretty good with the material he's given, but, the main problem I have with him doesn't even have to do with him, it's the fact that he felt pretty wasted in the film. I felt like they didn't do anything with him that really made him or the character stand out. And, really, the main thing I took away from this film is that I thought it was really weird. I thought this was a really weirdly put together film, from the structure of the story to the pacing that felt really all over the place and the main problem I had with it was the characters. The fact that this film had so many characters in it and we didn't get to know anything about any of them. We learn a little bit about Black Adam himself, but, aside from that small bit, we know basically nothing about the other characters, especially in regards to the Justice Society. And the whole movie felt like it was really trying to force them into this, even though this is supposed to be Black Adam's own solo movie, it felt like they really wanted the Justice Society in this it felt really cluttered. It almost felt like the movie didn't know it was supposed to be a Black Adam movie and wanted to force the Justice Society in this despite the fact that we've never seen any of the members in DC.E.U movies before this. And, again, even in just this movie, we learn nothing about them. The only one we learn a little bit about is Cyclone, but, even then, that was really clumsily done with how it happened since we just hear her giving some exposition to Atom Smasher about what happened to her for a few seconds and it felt like such clumsy and lazy exposition. The movie is also just paced really weird. Like, as soon as Black Adam is freed and he has that action scene with all the soldiers, I just thought that this felt so weird with how it was told and paced and everything. I can't even explain it, just its placement in the film just made it so weird and just watching it play out in the movie felt so bizarre. That, and, also, the whole sequence of Black Adam joining in on the climax felt rushed as well. I also just didn't really care for any of the characters involved, especially the human family Black Adam stays with for the film, I didn't care for any of the characters like that. There's also some specific moments that I normally wouldn't notice, especially in a better movie, but, there's some really huge plotholes that never get answered, like what crime did the lady in the movie do that made her wanted and how did the organisation get a photo of her? There's also that moment when that one guy gets shot in that apartment and after he gets help, he suddenly acts like it's nothing. I know stuff like that is really minor and insignificant overall, but, when a movie just isn't good and has a lot of these moments sprinkled throughout, it's hard to not notice them. Also, on the visuals, this film also just looked really weird. For one, something about how it was shot was kinda strange, but also the C.G.I looked horrible a few times, especially in the finale and mostly involving the villain. And, yeah, speaking of which, I thought the fact that the main villain was revealed to be a descendant of the king Black Adam defeated was really strange as well. And the fact that he turns into some devil creature was a cool idea, I guess, but, the main problem I had is that the C.G.I looked awful. The texture on him never looked real and the actual final fight was pretty off putting. There were definitely some cool things in it, I liked Doctor Fate using his powers against him, and I did think them using his helmet to fake him out was kinda clever, but that's about it. In terms of the other cast members, they were mostly doing a good job, I especially liked Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, he gave me some Tom Holland Spider-Man vibes and I think he was probably my favourite part of the film, but, again, the fact that we knew basically nothing about these characters made it hard to really enjoy them. Some characters were also just kinda bland as well, like I said, I just didn't care for any of the characters so that kinda made the film feel longer than it really was. And, not caring for any of the characters involved made the death of Doctor Fate feel really empty and hollow, which is a shame, I know a bit of Doctor Fate as a character and I would have loved to have seen a great portrayal of him in the film, but I just don't think we got that. Part of that is also in the fact that they kinda made him and Hawkman seem kinda unlikeable for a while. And, as far as the mid credit scene, it was probably my favourite scene in the movie. Amanda Waller shows up to talk to Black Adam but then she sends Superman to talk to him. Firstly, it was great to see Henry Cavil return as Superman. I think he's a great actor and it was nice to see it confirmed that he's back. I was kinda wondering if these movies were gonna continue, but, now that this has happened, I guess it will, and, in general, it was just nice to see Cavil as Superman back. This also makes me hope they can get Ray Fisher back as well. So, yeah, that mid credit scene makes me really excited for what they could do in the future, but, the entire film overall just left me feeling like this was so weird. In terms of how it was put together and edited and everything else, it was just a really weird movie to me. So, yeah, I know I pretty much just complained the whole time there, but those really were all my thoughts when I came out of it and I saw it with my sister and she agreed with all the problems I just mentioned. So, yeah, I guess if you're the least bit curious, I guess you could check this out, but, I just didn't like it at all and thought it was just a bad movie. So, overall, yeah guys, those are my thoughts on Black Adam. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
