Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet trailer

So today, we finally got the first trailer for Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet. This was something I was really excited for it. Wreck-It Ralph, as in the first movie, is one of my favourite Disney movies ever. I love that movie and everything in it. So, with the sequel, I'm super excited. There's some funny clips shown, the animation's spectacular and I'm very interested to see a Disney Classic be a sequel considering we haven't seen that since Fantasia 2000 in 1999. So seeing another one, and the fact that it's of one of my favourite Disney movies ever, has me super excited. And so, here it is and I hope you all enjoy.

My top 10 Family Guy characters

So, something I haven't spoke about for a long time is Family Guy. I know it isn't exactly the biggest thing ever to talk about and the characters aren't the GREATEST characters ever with some of them being loathed by people, which, I do understand because they can be really despicable sometimes, but, they're not the worst characters ever and they're not the most hateable I've ever seen. And so, I decided to count down my absolute favourite characters. And so, let's begin.
10. Meg:

Starting us off at number 10 is the abused and awkward Griffin child and Peter and Lois' firstborn, Meg. In the first season, she was just kind of annoying and self-centred and whiny, but I feel she got a bit better over time. Now, while, she does have her selfish moments, she still has more good moments, especially given how she's one of the only smart people with her knowing what's right and wrong, again, most of the time.
9. Peter:

The main character of the whole show is at number 9. Peter Lownbrau Griffin Sr. This 43 year old, fat, stupid man is the father to Meg, Chris and Stewie and husband to Lois. He only likes KISS, TV, beer and especially the song Surfin' Bird. This guy's stupidity has a lot of great moments along with a lot of really great and quotable lines. While, he may have a lot of negative things about him that people would most likely hate him for, he does have some aspects to him that make him a bit likeable and he does have his moments to shine every once in a while with him doing the right thing on a few occasions.
8. Cleveland:

Cleveland Brown is a character that's so popular he got his own spin-off show, the Cleveland Show. And, while that show may have had a lot of haters, I personally enjoyed it, especially since I started watching it when I was about 10. And Cleveland was a big part of that with his funny personality, interactions and relations. He may have had a bit of a rough life, but now, he's back on Spooner Street with the Griffins, which I liked and he's super enjoyable.
7. Lois:

Next up is Peter's wife and one of the only few reasonable people in the show, Lois. This character is one of the few characters who acts as a sense of reason in the middle of all the madness in the show. Whenever something weird happens or stupid, she usually has to be the one to stop it and help Peter and even get him out of situations. While many are still wondering why she stays with him considering how much trouble he puts her through, there's no denying she's kind of in the right place. And, remember, I said "kind of."
6. Joe:

At number 6 is the wheelchair using policemen from Spooner Street, Joe Swanson. While on a case when he was younger, a criminal shot him in both legs paralysing him. Now a regular policemen trying to do his job and tried to catch the criminal who did this to him, Joe has managed to do a lot despite being in a wheelchair. Even with that, he has one the funniest scenes I seen in the show ever.
5. Chris:

Chris is Peter and Lois' fat and idiot son. While far from being smart, Chris is still enjoyable, for the most part and his reactions to a lot of situations are really hilarious. While he may also have selfish moments here and there too, he's still got some moments to shine and he's even been able to help think some situations out.
4. Brian:

Next up is the Griffin's alcoholic, talking dog, Brian. Again, while he may have some selfish moments and despicable moments where you can call him a bad character, like Lois, he's one of the few reasonable characters and he has some great lines and moments. Also, the earlier episodes with him had him at his best. And, by that, I mean he was the nicest there and he can still do it from time to time. And he even has some great interactions with the other characters, especially Stewie.
3. Dr. Hartman:

Not a hugely spoken character, but I feel Dr. Hartman is one of the most enjoyable characters in the whole show. He does seem like he wants to help a lot of the time and he does do his job right, again, kind of. There are moments where he's just weird and can say some strange things, but he still serves his purpose and he has a lot of great moments and lines. Especially whenever Griffins are going to see him. Especially with this one scene that might be one of my favourites in the show. Watch.
2. Stewie:

Coming in close to number 1 is the genius baby mastermind, Stewie. This small, evil-like baby has so many things in mind, as acting like an adult, but still being the baby he is. While he may turn good and bad at times, there's not denying the fact that he only has one goal in mind, to kill his mother Lois. But, he's also really funny and has some of the show's best lines ever. He's also just really enjoyable and funny and fun to watch with the writing for him being really great.
And my number 1 favourite Family Guy character is... Quagmire:

And finally at number 1 is the horn-dog, laid obsessed, crazy man himself, Glenn Quagmire. This weird, airplane piolet is always super fun to watch in almost every scene he's in with great line after great line. Every time I watch an episode, I'm always looking forward to when he shows up because of how enjoyable he is. He's also just great because of what he does best, and, if you watch the show, then you know what I'm talking about. And, who can forget that famous catchphrase of his?
And all that is why Quagmire is my number 1 favourite Family Guy character. Thank you all for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think and, if you like the show, please tell me who your favourite character is.

Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6

And so, everyone, I finally managed to finish all of Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6. If you saw last year, you know I did a review for the first five seasons and recently, the sixth and final season released on Netflix. I was of course really excited considering, as I've said, the Dragons franchise is one of my favourite animated franchises of all time. I've reviewed both movies and the three previous shows and I've loved all of them. And in my review of the five previous seasons of this, I said I was really excited for this. And it did not disappoint. Is it perfect? No, there are a couple of episodes that drag and some of the characters and motivations are really clichéd, but, overall, I don't think I could have asked for a better way for this to conclude and lead into How To Train Your Dragon 2. There are so many satisfying moments here for fans, and being a fan myself of this franchise, I loved it. However, there are some things here that are huge plot-holes. I always sorta feel whenever you're making something like this that already has something made that takes place after it, this could be hard because you don't want to make any plot-holes. However, I found a few of those. Also, this review will be spoiler-filled, so, if you want to watch it, go watch it and then read this. So, like I said, it's a great show but it's not perfect. Firstly, the characters. Hiccup is still proving to be a great DreamWorks character and he's really funny here along with some really touching scenes with him. The rest are always great. Astrid, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs. Yeah, all of them are still really entertaining. The villains in this are probably the best they've ever been in these Dragons shows. As I said before, Johann, who was in the previous seasons and was revealed in the last season to be the main villain here, is pretty cool and he has a lot of threatening moments. Krogan is pretty cool too and there are so many moments where he's really despicable here. And, finally, Viggo is probably a his best here. And during his last episode where he really does turn good and helps Hiccup and even sacrifices himself, I didn't expect that at all. I liked how he turned good and he had a lot of really great moments here. I love the rest of the supporting cast too and what they do. Dagur, Heather, Mala, the Wingmaidens. All of them. They're all really good here. The animation's, of course, fantastic, as to be expected from DreamWorks. And, everything that could be said about how amazing it is has already been said by everyone from their other works. Not just here. And something this show never ceases to do is create a fun adventure. That's what I want to feel when I watch this show. I wanna feel like this was a fun adventure. And, for the most part, the show does that. I say "for the most part" because, like I also said a second ago, this season isn't perfect, and we're going to get into those issues now. For one, while I said the Wingmaidens are good here, the episode where we see one of them trying to prove herself and trying to do this whole thing her way but it failing was kinda annoying because I've seen this done a lot of times and I've never really thought it was good. It made it seem kinda annoying. Obviously she gets better afterwards, but the episode where she's doing all these stupid decisions is just so clichéd and stupid. Also, I didn't really like episode 11, which was just a clip show episode showing what Hiccup and everyone else would be like if he never met Toothless. It was kinda annoying with these different ideas they were coming up with. However, the last two episodes really pick it back up and are amazing with really exhilarating moments and fantastic tie-ins to the second movies. I liked see the Alpha dragon back with its baby being the one Valka has in the second movie. Speaking of which, I loved seeing her too. We only see her for a few seconds. But it was awesome and I loved the reveal that Krogan was actually working for Drago. Seeing them here was awesome.

I loved seeing them so much that right afterwards, I went to watch the second movie because I just wanted to see the story continue. And the end climax where Hiccup fights Johann was amazing. Especially seeing how he dies, being frozen. And, like I said, there was some things here that really surprised me. Probably the thing that surprised me the most as the very end when they destroy both of the Dragon Eyes. I didn't expect that at all. Though, I guess it makes sense if they're going to tie at least that much in the second movie. Although, remember when I said there's a few plot-holes here? Well, probably the biggest for me is, why aren't Dagur, Heather, the Wingmaidens, Alvin and all those other characters and dragons in the second movie because they're obviously there. So that's really confusing and hopefully they'll show up in the third movie next year. Still though, none of that ruins the show. And just seeing this world explored more with more dragons being introduced with all that being brought in are amazing here and another one of the best parts about the show. I love the expansion of this world with more creatures being shown. I never hated it and it was all interesting to me. I loved it. So, in conclusion, I probably don't need to say this, but, yeah, Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6 is awesome and a great conclusion for this series. I loved it and, while it wasn't perfect, I still had a great time. I can't wait for the last movie to come out next year and this show just helped the expansion of this incredible world. I love the Dragons franchise, and this helped even more to solidify that. So, yeah, I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially if you like the How To Train Your Dragon movies and this franchise in general. I will definitely satisfy the vast majority of people and I loved it overall. And so, everyone, that's my review of Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 6. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

My top 10 Fairly OddParents characters

So recently I've sorta been doing these top lists of my favourite characters from different forms of media slower and slower, so, to make up for that, I thought of the idea to make another one of my favourite characters from Fairly OddParents. Something I haven't spoken about in a while, so it's about time I did talk about it again with my top 10 favourite characters from it. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. Chester:

Starting us off at number 10 is one of Timmy's best friends, Chester. This kid is a sorta gross and disgusting, but also funny character with him and his family living in an old RV and always eating out of the bins. But, he's also a really supportive friend and has stuck with Timmy through think and thin... for the most part. And he's also funny whenever he goes into what he and his family do. Him, Timmy and AJ also work really well with each other and are great to watch together.
9. AJ:

Speaking of AJ, here he is at number 9. Being Timmy's other best friend and the smarter one of the three of them, he always like to show off how smart he is and he brilliant he is. He always does things like using words that some of the others don't know and he and Chester are always together which has a lot great scenes. He's also great in serious scenes with him knowing when to take things seriously and being the only one out of him and Chester to help Timmy the most.
8. Jorgen:

Being the toughest fairy in Fairy World and maybe being the one in charge all the time mustn't be easy. Jorgen however is able to do it all with him bring massive and being the main voice of reason to Timmy, for the most part. Carrying around a huge wand all the time and trying to act like the toughest guy around, he's also great in huge situations with telling Timmy whenever something's wrong and I love seeing the two of them team up when something DOES pop up, especially during the Wishology trilogy.
7. Mark:

Next up on the list is Timmy's alien friends and prince of Yugopotamia, Mark. When he was first introduced, he was obsessed with Vicky and was desperate with make her his. And Timmy stopped him, the two of them became friends and have helped each other on multiple occasions. While still really obsessed with Vicky, he's managed to also do many good things as well on Earth and Yugopotamia. He's also really funny and his attitude is really fun too.
6. Crocker:

At number 6 is the main villain of the series and the Timmy's crazy, Fairy obsessing teacher, Crocker. While, personally, I never really saw Crocker as much of a threat, he's still really entertaining and really funny. Especially when he's going nuts over fairies.

And with him being the main villain of the show, I love whenever he and Timmy have some battles and seeing him go crazy with it is fun to see happen. Surprisingly, he actually reminds me a lot of Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb.
5. Wanda:

At number 5 is the first of Timmy's fairies on the list as well as the smarter one, the mother to Poof and the chocolate obsessed fairy, Wanda. Being one of Timmy's fairies and, technically, being the real voice of reason, whenever something bad happens or whenever Timmy wishes for something destructive, she always has to be the one to tell him about how it's wrong and is the one who's usually right. She's also just really likeable and is the voice of reason in the middle of a lot of the crazy chaos that's happens in the show.
4. Timmy's dad:

I know, it's kinda weird just saying "Timmy's dad" like that, but that's part of the joke for the show. We never find out Timmy's dad's name or his mom's name. Every time they actually do say what it is, something loud always occurs so that we can't hear it. But, anyway, this stupid man is Timmy's dad and is obsessed with one thing, being rid of their neighbour, Dinkleberg.

And he's tried on so many times to do so but, in the end, all we really remember him for is him being rally stupid and really funny. And he is. He's one of the funniest parts of the show and he hardly ever gets annoying.
3. Timmy:

Here he is, the main pink wearing protagonist of the show, Timmy. While Timmy himself may not be my favourite character, he still lands really high on the list and deserves a lot of praise. Despite having a few selfish moments here and there, Timmy is a great character with him knowing what's right and wrong and knows when to be the hero of a situation. And is definitely one of my favourite Nickelodeon protagonists.
2. Poof:

Coming in close to number 1 is Cosmo and Wanda's son and Timmy's Fairy God brother, Poof. After Timmy wished for Cosmo and Wanda to have a baby, they had this cute baby, Poof. And this tiny baby fairy has had a major impact on the story. He helped save Timmy in some situations, he stopped Foop from destroying everything and was the main influence for helping Timmy defeat the Darkness in the Wishology Trilogy, like I said a minute ago. And he's just so much fun and really entertaining. Even in scenes where he might go crazy because of a dilemma that's happening.
And my number 1 favourite Fairy OddParents character is... Cosmo:

And finally at number 1 is Timmy's other Fairy Godparent and one of the stupidest characters in the show and maybe being THE stupidest, Cosmo. This was kind of a hard one for me, but, when I look back and think about which character I found the most entertaining in this show, I always think of Cosmo. He's funny, stupid, entertaining and all of his lines are gold. There's hardly ever a scene with him that drags and isn't hilarious. I love his character being this way all the time and I love how he and Timmy can get into a lot of trouble because of how stupid they can be. He's also hilarious when he's "making" new friends because of how he'll just pick something at random, give it a name and say it's his friend and then sorta break down in sadness if something were to happen to it. He can also take things seriously when needed and he's probably the most entertaining character in the show. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 Fairly OddParents characters. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think or, if you like Fairly OddParents, please comment your favourite character.

My paintings of anime protagonists

So something I've wanted to do for a while is to do an entry show my paintings of anime protagonists. Obviously I've done tons of them already, but I decided to do more and show my old ones just because they're protagonists, and also because I made some changes to the ones that didn't look too great originally. I've even done paintings of animes I've never talked about before that I'm hope to talk about soon that I may have liked for a long time or only recently started liking. I tried my best with all of these and, ironically enough, for me anyway, Naruto was actually the hardest to do. There's quite a lot of them here and if I were to remake my top 10 anime protagonists and make it 12, this would be the new order with my top being my number 1 and bottom being number 12. And I've put the names of the animes these characters are from in case you haven't heard of some of these. And so, let's begin, I hope you all like these and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
Naruto (Naruto):

Sonic (Sonic X):

Natsu (Fairy Tail):

Ed (Fullmetal Alchemist):

Goku (Dragon Ball):

Luffy (One Piece):

Ichigo (Bleach):

Boruto (Boruto: Naruto Next Generation):

Yugi (Yu-Gi-Oh):

L (Death Note):

Spike (Cowboy Bebop):

Ash (Pokémon):

My top 5 Sonic games I want to see get remade

So, the Sonic franchise have had really great and really terrible entries over the years. With some absolutely amazing games...

and some, well...
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Nintendo Wii U)
Yeah, that. And with that kinda thing, there's a lot of games that I want see get remade because the original might have been broken, or the console isn't available now, or because playing them nowadays would be awesome with these new consoles we have and today's technology. And it could also help good games from before where the controls were weird and hard to use. They could also improve the gameplay to make it better. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
5. Shadow the Hedgehog:
Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2)
Starting us off is the spin-off game for one of the most popular Sonic characters of all time, Shadow the Hedgehog. This 2005 spin-off game follows Shadow as a creature called Black Doom has him gather the Chaos Emeralds for him. After he goes off, the military go are trying the kill him with Shadow not letting anyone get in his way because he's trying to remember his past. Now, for starters, I know a lot of people also had problems with the story, the characters and how weirdly dark and adult it was with it cursing a lot and stuff like that, but the main problem people had were the controls with them being hard to get a hang of and the controls actually being wonky and hard to use as well. And, yes, that has occurred with me sometimes too, but I think that if they fixed them, I don't think people will stay say it's good because of those other things I mentioned, but, I don't think they'd hate it as much.
4. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006):

Like the last one, this game has so many of the problems the last one had, but this one has a reputation of being one of the most infamous Sonic games of all time. And, yes, again, I know there are a lot of bad things and the glitches, load time and parts of the story are beyond painful to watch, but, I sorta wonder if they sorta rereleased this game and fixed the glitches problem and load time, again, I doubt people would like it, but maybe they wouldn't hate it as much. I know they'd definitely hate the story and some of characters and some of their actions, but, personally, I'd really like to see that. Something else I'd like to see is the music. The music from this 2006 game is the only thing people say is actually good about the game and, yeah, it might be my favourite Sonic music ever. Especially the piece called "Just Smile." Listen to some of this.
3. Sonic Adventure:
Sonic Adventure
Okay, now we get into the games that were original great games. The original Sonic Adventure was kinda ground-breaking back in 1998. It was the first real 3-D Sonic game with new designs for the characters and it was first Sonic game to include voice acting and the characters actually talking. But nowadays, the game doesn't exactly hold up very well. However, now, with consoles like the Play Station 4 or the Nintendo Switch, I would love to see it be remade for those consoles. I would love to actually experience it because I've never played it before. I really want to play it for real with today's technology and the different ideas they could experiment with. And I think doing a remake would fix this game's reputation of holding up after many years.
2. Sonic Adventure 2:

At number 2 is the sequel to Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2. Another game that was sorta ground-breaking when it was first released in 2002. This game introduced Shadow the Hedgehog for the first time. And they even include a ton of different quests and adventures to do and I would love to actually play that myself. I know that it's a great game from what I've heard, but, seeing how it was released in 2002 on an old console, I never played it. But, personally, playing it now with the technology we have now would be awesome and great to play.
And the number 1 Sonic game I want to see get remade is...  Sonic Heroes:
Sonic Heroes (PS2)
And finally at number 1 is the very first Sonic game I ever played and the first video game I ever played, Sonic Heroes. When it comes to games that I love but find kinda irritating in some parts, I think of how this game can feel a bit unfair. At least with the Play Station 2 version I have. In this game, you have control 4 teams of 3 with them being Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Amy, Cream, Cheese, Big, Espio, Vector and Charmy. There are problems I have with it though that really irritate me. Like some of the controls. They can be really shaky with a character sometimes not doing what I want it or falling off the stage some how. And I don't entirely like the camerawork and, probably the thing that annoys me the most is how the controller can sometimes make me change to one character when I want to be another characters. Sometimes I'll press the square button to be one character, but, for some reason, it'll change me to the other character. That can be really frustrating. I also find the Emerald Challenges irritating with them being too difficult to do. So, with all of that, I would love to see all those controls fixed with better Emerald Challenges. And especially when you're running in those challenges. Sometimes when I try to go right, I'll go left and vice versa. And, sometimes, when that happens, I'll fall off the ceiling which slows me down and gives the Emerald more chances of escaping. That is so beyond annoying. And so, I would love a fixed version of the game on the PS4 and I would love to play it. And so, everyone those are my picks for my top 5 Sonic games I want to see get remade. Thank you all for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think or, if you like Sonic, please comment which game you'd like to see get remade.
