Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker teaser

So, just a little while ago, we got the first teaser trailer for the last of the new Star Wars trilogy, Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker. Wow, it feels so good to finally have a title. And this teaser shows so much, but also, so little at the same time. First off, it obviously shows us some random stuff that we clearly won't know about until it comes out at the start with Rey outrunning a ship and then a bunch of action really fast. And we even see Leia, strangely. I'm curious to know how, but we also get to see Lando back too. But then the biggest surprise is at the end because we somehow hear Darth Sidious's laughing. So, this could indicate that he's somehow still alive. So, I'm curious to see how they answer these questions. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My top 4 anime fights I want to see in the future

Given how so many existing anime have been building up so many fights that'll inevitably happen, especially at the end. And with a lot of them already known and foreshadowed, I thought I'd count down the ones I'm looking forward to the most. And I'm going with 4 because that's really all I could think of. I'm sure there's a ton of anticipated fights for other anime like in My Hero Academia, One Punch Man and so on, but I still need to get into those shows, which I'm hoping to, but these are the ones I'm personally looking forward to in the ones I have seen. And so, here  we go and I hope you all like this.
4. Goku vs. Frieza (Dragon Ball):

Starting us off at number 4 is the possible rematch between Goku and his archenemy, Frieza. After the Tournament Of Power, Frieza then hoped to kill Goku and Vegeta by releasing Broly in the newest Dragon Ball movie, but that failed, so it's possible that Goku could end up fighting him again, even if I do wish Frieza could be a good guy. I really do want that to happen, but, if it doesn't, then we can get one last fight between the two of them with them acquiring new transformations.
3. Everyone vs. Zeref and Acnologia (Fairy Tail):

At number 3 is the final climatic fight to decide the fate of the world of Fairy Tail, every character in the series against Zeref and Acnologia. I've read what happens in the manga, so I know exactly what's gonna happen, but I'm really excited to see it happen in the anime and see the different moves and all that in animation. Seeing how huge it all looked in the manga, I can only imagine how that's gonna translate into anime form. It's all gonna look crazy and I can't wait to see what they do with it. And the ending afterwards with everyone at the party and then the ending with Natsu and Lucy, assuming you know what happens, should be really fun too.
2. Boruto vs. Kawaki (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations):
Coming in close to number 1 is the fight that could end the entire Naruto franchise, Boruto vs. Kawaki. At the very beginning of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, we were given a glimpse of this climatic fight. We were shown the Leaf village in complete and utter ruins and an adult Boruto fighting against this guy who we have no idea who he is. All we know is that apparently he's the one who's destroyed the village and has killed Naruto. And now Boruto is wearing Sasuke's cloak and headband and is using his sword to fight him. And apparently, they both have curse marks.
And the number 1 anime fight I'm hoping to see in the future is... Luffy vs. Blackbeard (One Piece):

And finally at number 1 is the captain of the Straw Hat pirates against the ultimate villain of One Piece, who's essentially Luffy if he was evil. After going through so much in his journey to find the One Piece, Luffy's final challenge and the final battle of this series could inevitable be against this monster. After witnessing Whitebeard dying, Blackbeard was somehow able to do what no other person has done, acquire two Devil Fruits and still be alive. As for how Blackbeard was able to do this, we'll just have to wait and see. Same for this fight. As Luffy draws closer and closer to the One Piece itself, the closer he gets to having his epic showdown with this huge beast. Given how the two of them are now Yonkos, A.K.A, Emperors Of The Sea, it's only a matter of time before we finally get the showdown between these two. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 4 most anticipated anime fights. Thank you for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think or tell me which fights you're most excited for.

Avengers: Endgame Special Look

So, Endgame is out in just 22 days from now and today we got a huge new look at the content of it. And this was absolutely amazing. This entire video gave me goose bumps with so many things happening. We see the Avengers together, Tony and Steve reconciling and Thanos returning and wearing his armour, which is something I wanted him to keep on in Infinity War, and now it looks like they're gonna have him keep it on, which is awesome. Speaking of awesome, it looks like the heroes are gonna be wearing costumes reminiscent of their original suits from the comics, but still making them look modernised. There' just so much in this and I can't wait for the next 22 days to go by. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My 5 hopes for the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC

So, just yesterday, I made this list on my YouTube channel talking about the 5 different things I want to see in the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC that'll be coming out at some point. So, I decided to shared it on here. I know I usually make an actual entry about these things, but I'm just really trying to get my YouTube channel noticed more and more out there. And these picks aren't in any order, they're just my list of the different things I want to see in the DLC. And, so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Captain Marvel

And, so, everyone, we've arrived at the first M.C.U movie of 2019 and the last one before Endgame, Captain Marvel. Marvel itself has had an amazing track record with their movies in the M.C.U ever since it first started and I was excited like always to see how they could implement another character I've never really seen much in comics or cartoons and see how they could modernise the character, which is something the M.C.U can do really well. Taking characters and modernising them to fit this day and age and making them super enjoyable. And so, what'd I end up thinking about it in the end? Honestly, in terms of M.C.U standards, I would say this is leaning towards the bottom of the films. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it does have a lot of bad stuff in it and there are a fair amount of problems. But, let's talk about the story first. And, like always, this will have no spoilers to start off, and then I'll talk about all the spoilers after a warning. Okay, so, what's he story? It starts off with a flashback of a woman named Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, apparently near a plane crash. We then cut to years later where she's older and on another with the race of Krees. She's also friends with a guy named Yon Rogg, played by Jude Law, and during a mission against creatures named Skrulls, Carol is separated from her team and lands on Earth where she begins to have memories of a past that she thinks she's remembering. She also runs into Nick Fury and Coulson who're trying to find out what's going on while Carol is trying to find some invading Skrulls and trying to get through to her team. And, I'm gonna stop there. Okay, so first I'll start with the positives. In terms of the cast, they're mostly solid. I really enjoyed Brie Larson as Carol. I wouldn't say it's in the top 10 best M.C.U castings or anything and there are some aspects to her that I'm going to talk about in the negatives, but I mostly really enjoyed her. And the rest are good and I enjoyed them, even if some of the characters weren't at all memorable. Jude Law, who I'm really beginning to notice recently thanks to this and The Crimes Of Grindlewald, I think he does a great job, but, like I said, I don't remember much about his character aside from what happens to him at the end, which I'll talk about in a few minutes, but I thought the performance was good. By far though, the best part about this movie is Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. I really love Fury and this might be my favourite version of him aside from his character in The Winter Soldier. And the de-aging on him is beyond flawless Not just him, but Coulson is back too and the de-aging on him is also pretty flawless. I already loved Coulson from the movies before he died and seeing him again was great. The interactions between Nick and Carol was by far my favourite part of the whole movie. Super enjoyable and funny too. I really liked Lashana Lynch as Maria, as in an old friend of Carol's on Earth, though I wish we got more interactions between the two of them because I didn't think they had enough to feel much with them. And as for the Skrulls here, they really surprised me. With the main Skrull, Talos, I thought he was funny and a little intimidating at points. And I like the concept for the Skrulls with being able to shapeshift into whoever they want. And what they did with the Skrulls towards the end really surprised me, but I'll get into more detail with that in the spoilers. As for the rest, I don't remember much. I thought a lot of them were kinda unmemorable, though it was cool to see Ronan and Korath back in this, even if they were there for only a few second. As for the visuals, they're pretty good mostly. Not all, but the majority look great. Though, I gotta say, the actual look to the Skrulls look kinda weird to me. The makeup on them looked like something from a TV show. It did look a little better in the movie than I thought it did in the trailers, but still. Some ideas in the movie I thought were pretty interesting and there were a few action scenes that were pretty creative. Same with the jokes. There were some that were really hilarious like every other M.C.U movie, but some did kinda fall flat. Overall, the best I can say is that the movie is definetly entertaining for almost all of it. However, there are also quite a lot of problems. And I guess I'll get into those now. Firstly, and probably the biggest problem I had with the movie is the opening. It just came and went really fast with some really weird editing and some really weirdly delivered exposition. Pretty much as soon as Carol arrives on Earth, the movie begins to pick up, but there's not much to it before that. Thankfully we don't spend much time on the Kree planet, but still. Also, in terms of the problems I had with Carol herself, we really don't get much of a personality with her. At points she feels like a character with no personality and is just kinda there, which is something the M.C.U really shouldn't have because they've always been amazing at creating personalised character, especially the protagonists. I also wasn't a fan of some of the action. Aside from the opening scene in a spaceship, I really don't remember that much in terms of action except for one scene inside a train. The C.G.I also isn't all that great here. Especially towards the end when it's really C.G.I heavy. The C.G.I just looks kinda weird there. And, like I said, there's the relationship between Carol and Maria, which I did really like and I liked them together, but I wish there was more there for me to feel for them. I did feel for it a bit, but not as much as I would have liked. There's also something that happens towards the end that does feel like it comes out of nowhere, even if the thing itself is something I liked. I liked it, but it did feel like it comes outta nowhere. And, really, while a lot of the movie is entertaining, the pacing of the whole movie isn't great and a lot of that has to do with the opening, like I said, and, for me at least, that does damage a lot of the film itself. So, before I get into spoilers, I'll just wrap this up. Captain is another good M.C.U movie and one I was really happy that I saw. Overall, I would definetly recommend seeing the movie, just don't expect this to be one of the best M.C.U movies out there. And so, everyone, that's my review of Captain Marvel. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
Spoilers:
And with the spoilers, this could be longer than when I normally do spoilers because there's a lot to talk about. So, first off, I wanna talk about that Goose scene. Goose was the name of the cat thing that follows Carol and Fury around for most of the movie. When it's revealed to not really be a cat and some alien called a flerken with tentacles in its mouth, yeah, that was pretty funny, especially during the scene when Fury was trying to use it as a weapon. And then the scene when it scratched out his eye was really weird. I imagine this is something that a lot of people are gonna be angry about considering it's showing that Fury simply lost his eye from a cat scratch. I always assumed he lost it from a mission during a shootout, but no. I did like that scene though, despite the editing on it looking kinda weird. And as for that subplot that I said I liked that kinda came outta nowhere was the Skrulls not actually being the villains of the movie, but the Kree actually are. And the Skrulls themselves are actually kinda peaceful and are trying to get home. I thought that was nice. I liked Talos a lot more after that. And then at the end, Carol decides to leave and help them, yeah, my thoughts on that are the same, just a really nice scene, though a little weird to me in the sense of Fury, Maria and her daughter becoming friends with them. And then, we actually see that the Skrulls had the Tesseract. Which is really confusing considering S.H.I.E.L.D had it after Howard found it in Captain America: The First Avenger. So I'm curious to know how they got it. I also liked how Fury got the idea to name the team the Avengers, from Carol's plane. That was a nice touch. And, finally, the end credit scenes. The first one was seeing the Avengers at Avengers H.Q looking at a map of the world and seeing all the people who died in the snap and then we see that they found Fury's pager and then Carol shows up. I almost kinda lost my mind when that happened because I was really excited to see what's gonna happen next. I mean, Endgame is out in just a few weeks from now and so having that scene here shows what's gonna happen at the start a little bit. I honestly though Carol was gonna meet up with Tony and Nebula in space first and then she'd come to the Earth. But I'm still curious to know what's gonna happen now. And then, the after credit scene has Goose puking up the Tesseract, which was still weird to me. Stuff like that isn't really something we needed to know necessarily, we coulda just guessed that that was gonna happen. And, so, everyone, those are the spoilers for Captain Marvel. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

Toy Story 4 Trailer

So, everyone, today we got an official full-length trailer for Toy Story 4. Like I said for the last trailer, I personally think I'm still 100% on board for a fourth Toy Story movie, and I have a few worries when it comes to this film. The content to the trailer itself reminds me a lot of Toy Story 2, in the sense of Woody goes to save a toy who's been separated from the group and now the others have to save them, with some other similarities in there too. But, to be fair, the Toy Story magic has already worked once this year with there being a Toy Story world in Kingdom Hearts 3, so I'm sure they'll be able to make this work too, but I'm still a little curious. Still though, in terms of the look to the movie, it looks beautiful. Pixar has practically perfected C.G animation at this point and there's quite a lot of interesting ideas they're presenting here. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Avengers: Endgame trailer

And so, everyone, we finally got an official trailer for Avengers: Endgame. This was actually closer to being released than I thought. But, from this trailer itself, I love it. It's showing us so much but also so little in terms of the content of the movie, which is something I want to see happen with the marketing for the movie. We get to see the Avengers reunited along with some awesome action shots and it all looks pretty insane, which is what's to be expected with the Avengers movies at this point. But, again, I'm loving all of it. We even get to see Captain Marvel with the Avengers. Also, I have seen that movie and the review for that will be my next entry. But as for this, I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

And, so, everyone, we've finally arrived at the final instalment to the humongous popular Dragons franchise, the Hidden World. I was obviously super excited for this. I love the Dragons franchise as a whole. I've watched the two previous movies and I've seen all the TV shows like Riders Of Berk, Defenders Of Berk and Race To The Edge, which I've reviewed on this blog. So expectations were pretty high for this final instalment in this franchise. So, what did I end up thinking of it? Honestly, in terms of where I would rank it with the other two movies, I personally think I'd put it in the middle. A lot of people are calling this the least of the three movies, but, personally, I think I found it to be better than the first, but not as good as the second. Which is kinda hard to beat considering how high a bar that is. Still though, I'm really happy to say that this was such a great time... for the most part, mainly because I do have problems with the movie. But I still had a great time with it. And, yes, this'll be spoiler-free for the first part and then I'll get into all the spoilers. So, what's the story? It actually begins a few months after the second movie and now Hiccup and the others are still freeing dragons from dragon trappers. And everything seems to be going pretty well until a villain named Grimmel is planning to kill them all. All while Toothless has actually met a female Night Fury who he begins to have a crush on, but she keeps vanishing. And now, because of the danger of Grimmel, Berk has been evacuated. All the while Toothless is still constantly thinking of the Light Fury and Hiccup is trying to help him. And I'm gonna stop right there. So I'm just gonna get into the positives first. Obviously, when it comes to DreamWorks movies, whether they're good or bad, something that always remains a staple is that they always have fantastic animation, and this is no exception. The other two movies were easily the best looking DreamWorks movies they had made and this takes that to even higher levels. And whenever any of the dragons move around or have their own way of moving in a way, they actually look like they have they're own way of doing it and it doesn't feel recycled from any of the others. It feels like everything was created from the ground up perfectly. And every detail you can imagine is perfectly shown. And the characters are just the same, which I'm so happy about. Hiccup feels more like he's evolving as a character again, and not just the fact that he's now the chief, but he's also stepping more into an adult stage, but at the same time, he's still the same as before and he's still really funny. He also feels like he can fully be awesome here. When it looks like he's mad and serious, it's not like the first movie where he's a weak guy trying to act tough, he really does feel like a person who can deliver on what he says. And the rest are great too. Him and Astrid still work great together and there's still a lot of great banter between all of them. And what they did with Snotlout was really funny again. And I obviously like all the other side characters too like Gobber, Valka and Erit. I still really like them. The movie's also got a fair amount of surprises. I was pretty shocked by some scenes in this and I was really pleased with how a lot of it progressed. I still really enjoy watching these characters together and interacting and watching the story progress with them. I was especially really happy and hyped up whenever we went into an action scene with them because so much of it was really exciting and really fun. But, even with that, I would say my favourite scenes in the movie were any with Toothless because he's in love with this Light Fury and he's always trying his best to impress her and win her over. And any scene with that was always enjoyable. In particular a scene on a beach where Toothless is trying to impress her and Hiccup trying to help him by doing hand gestures. There's not a single word being said, but Hiccup is trying to help him and Toothless is really trying to do his best to woo this Light Fury. That was really funny and really cute too. All the stuff with the main characters were easily the best parts, like always. They're all still really likeable and entertaining. Honestly, the only problem with the film I have is the villain. Grimmel was a very boring villain who I don't even remember all that much of. Any time it cut to him, I was always sorta waiting for the movie to go back to Hiccup. I remember Drago from the second Dragons movie being a much better villain than Grimmel. Also, his eventual defeat was pretty disappointing in my opinion. Besides that though, I am so happy to say that this is a franchise that has not had a single bad entry in it. Not just from the movies, but also the TV shows and even the little shorts they've made too like Gift Of The Night Fury and all those. I was so please with how the Dragon series ended and, yeah, the ending to this is incredible. I could not believe what happens during the ending. So, yeah, if you like these films, I would highly recommend seeing this, but I would still say go see it because it's a really great movie. And so, everyone, that was my review of How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
Spoilers:
Okay, there's not a lot of spoilers to talk about, so this will probably be really quick. I really the part where Hiccup was making a new tail for Toothless so he could go looking for the Light Fury himself And the actual Hidden World where all the dragons were look gorgeous. Not just the designs, but also the colours and the different ways they shot just made it feel that much more alive. I did also really love the end climax. That was really cool and there were some stakes there where it looked like either Toothless or the Light Fury could have been killed. And there were other action scenes I liked like the scene in Grimmel's base where he was setting traps for them or when he burned down Hiccup's house. And then the ending, when Grimmel died and where I said it was anticlimactic is when he just falls into the water and that's it. It felt really quick and we don't even see him afterwards. That's not too big an issue, but still. I also kinda liked the fact that they had to leave Berk because of Grimmel, but I also found it weird that they did considering they've faced threats before and didn't leave it then, but I do also understand given how many he had under his command. And really, the only other big spoiler is the really great ending to the movie, which I still really love. After Grimmel is beaten, Hiccup decides to let all the dragons go and they head off towards the Hidden World, which was really sad, but then it's followed by Hiccup and Astrid finally getting married and then we cut to years later with the two of them with kids and they meet up with Toothless and the Light Fury again who have baby dragons themselves. Which I loved. I really love endings like that and this is just another one of those awesome endings. And I think that's pretty much everything. And so, everyone, that's my review of How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Thank k you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

Frozen 2 Teaser Trailer

So, everyone, the other day, we actually got the teaser trailer for Frozen 2. I guess since Ralph Breaks The Internet, Disney's decided to make actual sequels for their Disney Classics, which is extremely rare. They didn't do that often and for a long time. But I guess they're deciding to want to attempt the it. And now they're doing a sequel to the smash-hit from 2013, Frozen. I love the first movie and this looks really interesting. It doesn't really give away anything in terms of the plot, but the rest of the trailer looks great. The characters still look great like in the first movie and it almost kinda looks like they're looking for Autumn here, which is curious and I may be wrong, but that's what it looks like. It still looks cool outside of that and I really want to know what they do with these characters here. And so, here it is and I hope you all like it.

Kingdom Hearts 3

So, in case you don't know this about me, which is kind of impossible at this point, the entire Kingdom Hearts series is my favourite piece of entertainment ever and is easily my favourite story I've ever heard. And, as you all know from following this blog for a long time, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been my most anticipated release in my whole life. And with everything in the marketing showing how amazing this was gonna be, it just got to the point where I couldn't hold it in anymore. And, in the end, after all that build up and anticipation, what did I inevitably think of it? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. But I definetly think it's absolutely amazing and the anticipation was totally worth it. Where I feel I'm not 100% sure at is the ending because I felt a lot of things during the ending. Also, I'll be doing a spoiler-free part to the review and then I'll be doing a spoiler part because there's a lot to talk about. So, let's go with the story first like always. It starts off with another amazing opening like every other Kingdom Hearts game, but the opening in this is completely different to the way we saw when it was revealed to us. Not hugely different, still though. It then actually opens with the ending of 0.2 where Sora, Donald and Goofy heading to Olympus after Sora failed the Mark Of Mastery exam. They go there because Sora believes going there will help him figure out the thing Yen Sid said will help him unlock the power of waking. When they get there, Sora doesn't exactly get what he was expecting. While that's going on, Riku and King Mickey are in the Realm Of Darkness trying to save Aqua and Kairi and Lea are somewhere else training to be Keyblade wielders, even with Kairi writing to Sora. When Sora and others get back, he and the others are informed of what to do next and he even gets a new suit and he even looks a little different too. Riku and King Mickey's Keyblades also break so they have to report back with them being able to get new Keyblades now too. And they're getting ready to fight Xehanort. And I'm gonna stop right there. I know, kinda vague, but that's really the best I can do without revealing much else. So, yeah, like the other Kingdom Hearts reviews, I'll talk about the gameplay first and then move onto my thoughts on the story. This is pretty much tied with Kingdom Hearts 2 when it comes to gameplay, and it may even be better. As you all know from the trailers and things like that, there's a huge variety when it comes to the action in this. Because of the different Keyblades you get, you can use them as different weapons and transformations you can do with the Keyblades you get. They can transform into other weapons like hammers, guns or staffs or anything like that. And the way Sora can activate is awesome. As well as all the park ride attacks he can do like the teacups, the pirate ship and the water ride, that was all cool to use. There's also the mechanic to switch Keyblades during the fight. Once you have one Keyblade selected, you can press the arrows left or right to select a different one. Plus, I have to talk about probably the biggest different with this game from the others. The fact that this was made by the Unreal Engine 4, like how 0.2 was. And yeah, it definitely paid off. This is easily the best looking Kingdom Hearts game out there. Not just the textures and the beautiful landscapes, but also the characters. Just the little details on them and look of their skin and everything. Even in parts of the Disney worlds, like for example the Caribbean, I was sorta making a joke that there's no way they coulda made it look this good, this musta just taken the clip out from the movie and put it in here. That's how good the graphics are in this and it's just what you'd expect from Square Enix at this point. How they managed to make all this look just like the movies is incredible. And yeah, it definetly felt like I was really in these Disney worlds and exploring them. But I also liked how they redesigned some things like the returning worlds or the characters themselves. I'm personally still not the biggest fan of Sora's redesign, but, it's actually starting to grow on me. And everyone else look great too. Speaking of which, yeah, let's move onto the most important part of the entire Kingdom Hearts series, the story and the characters. What else can I say besides they're just as fantastic and amazing as before. Sora is still the same lovable character as before, and everyone is great too. Just seeing all these characters back like this and teaming up after all this time is just amazing. And the cast is just as great as they've ever been. Haley Joel Osment is still the best casting choice for anything in my opinion, and he's still perfect as Sora. Everyone else is just as amazing. And even the new cast like Alyson Stoner replacing Hayden Panettiere as Kairi still do great jobs of capturing what makes these characters so great and lovable. And as the game progresses, it just shows more and more of the plot like Organization XIII showing up every once in a while, what's happening to Riku and King Mickey in he Realm Of Darkness and what's happening to all the other characters too like Aqua and even Ansem the Wise. This gamed perfectly knew how to balance all these characters so well and do in a way that felt like a proper combination of all these years of build-up. And every time something really exciting happened or some characters reveal happened, I couldn't help getting hyper and really excited and kinda freaking put because of how the story was progressing. Tetsuya Nomura once again shows that he has an amazing imagination when it comes to crafting this story and fuelling the events the set-up what's happening next. Especially as you enter the final act of the game. That's when everything just went through the roof. I could not contain myself at all throughout the ending because there were so many amazing and satisfying moments that just me cheer and grin from ear to ear. And there were so many shocking moments that made me freak out too. And even cry because I couldn't believe what was happening to these characters. Speaking of the ending, Nomura himself actually said he rewrote the ending multiple times, and it shows that he put a lot of thought into it. And, I'm not gonna lie, the ending of this, like, the actual ending, traumatised me because of what happened. As soon as it happened and the credits started rolling, I started shaking and at points because of it, and I still can't. And what they do to Xehanort at the end was just mind-blowing to me. The game also has a lot of other awesome amazing moments that I don't want to talk about until the spoilers because I wan to talk about all the details. But this game also has so many satisfying moments too. Just a lot of moments that we fans have been waiting for for a long time. Also, this is kind of small thing, but I really love every scene with Sora and Kairi together. The relationship between the two of them has been one of the most important elements in these games and this game took it to new directions. And, like I said, some things happen that we've wanted to see for a long time, and something they do is one of them. Every scene with them made my heart beat really fast. Honestly, saying all this good stuff, the only issue I have with the game is the Gummi Ship segments. This is the most different Gummi Ship system in all these games. You actually pinpoint where you go and then you roam throughout space wherever you want to go and you fight enemies only if you want to get close to one or there might be one at the world and you have to beat it in order to keep going. I personally wasn't a fan of that. They even brought back an old mechanic from the first game, as in designing your own ship and then putting the pieces on it. I didn't like that in Kingdom Hearts 1, and I still don't really like it. I preferred the way it was done in Kingdom Hearts 2 more as in you got the ship and you could use whatever one you wanted and then you went in a straight line and you targeted enemies and destroyed them easier. So, I preferred that system much more. Aside from that though, the rest of the mechanics are top-notch. I especially loved all the worlds you went to like the new and old worlds. I loved all that and I loved all the interactions again. That's something else Kingdom Hearts does so well. Showing the different interactions between these characters in the Disney worlds and Sora himself. And seeing him finally interacting with characters like Woody, Buzz, Sulley, Mike and all these other characters was just as awesome as I would have imagined. The personalities of these characters is perfectly realised and it's so much fun hanging out with them. Seeing Sora also be accepted by a lot of them is also really satisfying.  I loved it every time like when we meet Jack again and when we meet new characters. They even introduced a ton of other minigames too like you can actually go to Twilight Town where Uncle Scrooge has set up a bistro with Remy from Ratatouille and you can actually make different courses in the kitchen with Remy and you can make something that Sora can eat in the main menu. Not only that, but he's also given something called a Gummiphone. It's this phone that allows Sora to take photos where the characters interact with it and you can even take photos of emblems that're in the shape of King Mickey's head, which you can be rewarded for. It even has something like a social media on it where you see what he's written on it during the loading menus. Not just him but also Riku and Ienzo, A.K.A, Zexion, who's now a good guy like a lot of the other Organization members, who's helping Sora and even has a Gummiphone of his own. That was really fun. So at the end of the day, Kingdom Hearts 3 absolutely lived up to the hype. Considering how excited I was for this, which is extremely high, I'm so happy to say that it was totally worth the wait. Given how long we had to wait for it to release, I couldn't have picked a better way for this epic combination of the past 17 years to keep moving forward, and I can't wait for what comes next. And so, everyone, that was my long awaited spoiler-free review of Kingdom Hearts 3. Thank you all so much for reading, it's been great talking about this game for so long and I can't wait for more in the future. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
Spoilers:
Okay, firstly just want to get one thing out of the way, and that's that I'm confused as to why the 100 Acre Wood as only a small world that you went to once and that was it. I liked how we went there and saw them for, maybe, the last time, but it was the same minigame three times. I still liked it though. And I even liked other small things like the return of Sora's "happy" face. Now, like I said, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to the spoilers, so this may take a while. Firstly, I loved the first part on Olympus with Sora trying to figure out what he needed to unlock the Power of Waking but not being able to. It was cool we saw Xigbar there and I liked how it was like he was giving a bit of foreshadowing. Seeing Kairi and Lea training together was a nice touch and I love seeing Kairi do more like training to be a Keyblade wielder. And I thought the first scene with them was sweet. Especially when Kairi was talking about her letters to Sora. And then later on when we see her in her new suit, that was awesome. Really, everything with Kairi here I loved a lot. I thought it was cool to see Riku get a new Keyblade, although I'm kind wondering how he got it. It's still a cool new Keyblade, and it helps show that he's really no longer part of the darkness. I thought it was nice to find out what happened to Aqua when it looked like Xehanort possessed her, and seeing her come back was extremely satisfying and a really exciting scene too. Every scene involving an old character coming back gave me goose bumps and made me really excited and hyper. And, with that, let's talk about the character returns, which was probably the stuff I was most excited for. As I said, Aqua come back was the first really exciting scene with it feeling like the story was really propelling forward fast from that moment onward. I just kept going really fast throughout the rest of the story because I was excited to see what was gonna happen next. After that, when they went to Castle Oblivion and Aqua turned it back to the Land Of Departure was also extremely exciting to me. We got to see Aqua reunite with Ven again, which was a nice moment, and then Sora freed Ven from his heart and brought him, which was just the coolest thing to see, and it was awesome to see him interact with Ven and fight Vanitas as Aqua. And then only a few minutes later, we get that scene I was talking about. That scene with Sora and Kairi that we've been waiting to see, that was when they finally had the Paopu Fruits. It was nice that we finally saw that, especially given how that's something that was setup since the first game. I honestly thought we were gonna see them kiss there. And, keeping it going, the game didn't let up once from then onward because after that, it's the epic battle that we've been waiting for against Xehanort. And yeah, it's just amazing, the act of this game is nothing but an adrenaline rush from start to finish. And now we've gotta talk about the ending. My god, we have got to talk about THAT ending. Firstly though, I thought that part where it looked like everyone died was real. I honestly felt like everyone was dead then. Definetly not Sora, but everyone else, yeah. But then during the next scene when Sora meet Chirithy and he helps him was amazing.  And then time sorta reverses and we get the scene again but this time, Sora goes to save everyone's hearts. And I loved seeing how it was Kairi who was helping him and then the two going off into the same kinda sparkles that we saw in Kingdom Hearts 1, which was really nice. And then all the Keyblades belonging to the wielders of the past show up and Sora launches them at the huge ball of darkness, which was just... I can't even describe how awesome that was. Seeing Yen Sid show up and finally doing some action was also really awesome. And then the rest of the battle is inside the maze where you're helping some friends along the way fighting the different members of the Thirteen Seekers Of Darkness. And, along the way, some really epic moments kept happening, like Xion being revealed or Roxas showing up to save her and Lea or Terra coming back or Sora just always arriving to save them. There's honestly way too many amazing moments to count. But then towards the end when you're with King Mickey and Riku fighting Young Xehanort, Ansem and Xemnas, Xehanort reveals Kairi and then kills her right in front of Sora. That scene made me lose my mind. I did not expect that at all and it made me feel the same way Sora did. And I was just as surprised when Xehanort got the X-Blade and finally unlocked Kingdom Hearts. And then everyone coming together to help Sora and then they going to that place in the trailer looked great. And then the final battle really begins with you fighting the thirteen different Xehanorts, but you really just need to defeat one and then he absorbs them all and gets a suit of armour himself. And that's where it really begins with him having the X-Blade and you finish the fight on top of the main building, which was just fantastic. And then the rest is just a ton of amazing scenes. And I love how it's actually Eraqus who saves the day and then Xehanort actually becomes a good guy, which I didn't see coming at all. And then he actually gives Sora the X-Blade, which was just so awesome and I was geeking out as that scene was going. But then at the end, Sora decides to go off and save Kairi somehow and promises to come back soon. I'm not entirely sure how he did that, but the ending of the game was so satisfying and so fulfilling as we see everyone be happy. King Mickey, Doanld, Goofy, Yen Sid, Chip, Dale and Jiminy go back to Disney Castle, Roxas, Lea, Xion, Isa, Hayner, Pence and Ollette are living in Twilight Town, Ven, Aqua and Terra make a momorial for Eraqus with his Keyblade and then they leave their Wayfinders with it and then Ven reunites with Chirithy. And even other things like NaminĂ© coming back and then all of them go to Destiny Islands to hang out. This entire ending just floored me. The fact that everything was going so well and everyone was back and happy and playing just made it feel so satisfying. But then as it progresses, we see Sora and Kairi on the Paopu tree and it looks like they're finally about to get together and kiss, but then Sora just disappears... and that's it. It just goes straight to the credits after that... okay... what exactly just happened? What happened to Sora? Why did he disappear? Did he sacrifice himself for her again? But then, of course, there's the secret ending where it shows that Xigbar may actually be the main villain the whole time with the other masters back. And it turns out he was the guy Luxu the whole time. Which, I gotta say didn't surprise me that much consider how similar the two of them acted. So when it was finally revealed, I actually called it a little bit. He's even with four of the Foretellers aside from Ava. He might actually be trying to trick them into thinking that Sora's evil. And we even see Maleficent and Pete there which indicate that they're still gonna be involved in this. And then the second, I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda confused about the second one. Though I have had some friends of mine help me understand. So apparently Sora's in Shibuya, as in where the characters from The World Ends With You are from. Not only that, but Riku is also in the Yazora game that Rex was talking about. So, that's really interesting. How did they get there. Some people think it might be an alternate reality and some people say it involves the same kinda time travel thing that was in Dream Drop Distance. So, I'm really interested to know what's going on. Maybe the next game will begin with Sora meeting up with everyone there that he knew from Dream Drop Distance and some people even think that the next game could also include having to save Sora while also having to defeat Xigbar, which sounds like a cool idea. I gotta admit, as much as I love Kingdom Hearts and it's my favourite story of all time and my favourite piece of entertainment, I think I would really love if they just made one last game to finish tying up all the loose ends. And it would be able to help make sure Sora gets back and gets a true happy ending, including him and Kairi finally getting together and no more of them getting separated. Every story needs and end and this would be a great way to finish up my favourite story of all time. That would honestly make me incredible satisfied as one of the biggest fans of this series. And so, everyone, that was my spoiler review for Kingdom Hearts 3. Thank you all so much for reading, I had a great time talking about this and I can't believe the fact that it finally happened. After all these years, we finally got Kingdom Hearts 3 and I can't wait for the next one to hopefully wrap everything up once and for all.
