My top 10 releases of 2022

So I know I'm late with making this kinda entry I make every year except last year, but, like I said, I'm really busy lately so that's why it's taken me this long to do this. But also I had some time to think about the things I wanted to include. Sure, like always, there were some obvious ones, and, yeah, these are obvious I suppose, but the order of some of these and where I wanted to put them was what I wanted to think about a lot. Anyway, yeah, 2022 has a lot of things coming out and I'm really exited for a lot of it. Not to mention all the other things things that a lot of people are excited for that I don't know about makes things even more exciting for everyone at this stage. Anyway, with that out of the way, let's begin and I hope you all like this.

10. Lightyear:

Starting us off at number 10 is the second Pixar movie in 2022, Lightyear. Kind of a similar to my feelings about Turning Red, I am pretty curious about this film too because the trailers haven't exactly done it for me. I am mainly curious because it is a Pixar movie and, to be fair, a movie exploring the actual character of Buzz Lightyear is pretty interesting. And, whether or not this has problems, it won't effect the actual Toy Story movies because this doesn't necessarily count as one Probably the part about this I'm most excited for is the fact that Chris Evans is in this as Buzz. I personally love Chris Evans as an actor and so, having him in a Pixar movie is really exciting for me.

9. Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Part 1:

Next up is the follow-up to 2018's masterpiece Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Part 1. Seeing how absolutely incredible the first movie is, that gives me a lot of hope for the second movie. We got a trailer for it last month and that looks fantastic and so I'm very curious to see it. I love how they're more than likely gonna improve everything on the technical side of things and the trailer we got for it just proves that even more and I can't wait for it. There's just a lot they could do here and I'm excited to see exactly what they do do with it.

8. The Batman:

At number 8 is the only DC movie on here, The Batman. While a lot of people are super hyped for this, and I am too, there are some concerns I have for this because some things in the advertising, while very cool, there are some things about it I have concerns about. But, the advertising is still making it look like a very cool film. Not to mention this film is looking like a very different comic book movie. But, really, I am still excited for this. I'm loving the approach they're showing with this and Matt Reeves is making this look cool and unique too. I'm really excited to see Robert Pattinson's take on Batman and I'm curious to know what this film will really be like.

7. Attack On Titan: Season 4:

Now, when I'm talking about Attack On Titan: Season 4, I'm really only talking about when it'll be released on DVD. Even though I only got into this series around May last year , I've become a big fan and I really loved the first three seasons and everyone is raving over the fact that this final season is up there with doing everything still super well. Personally, I wasn't a fan that they changed studios to do the animation because I definitely preferred the original and the new animation doesn't personally sit well with me, but I'm still super excited to see how they finish the series and see the ending. I've actually seen the ending from having all the manga volumes, but I'm interested to see it animated.

6. My Hero Academia: Season 4:

Similar to my pick with Attack On Titan, I'm mainly referring to seeing this season on DVD. I know they're on about Season 5 at the moment, but I'm still waiting to see Season 4 first. I was waiting for this for a while since they finally released the complete Season 2 and 3 last year and getting Season 4 here took a while. But now it's finally coming here. The complete Season 4 will be released here on the 21st of February and I am super excited to get it and keep watching. And I guess this also applies to the manga as well because I'm also caught up with the manga volumes and I'm really excited for volume 30 later this year. Especially after seeing what happened at the end of the last volume.

5. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever:

Okay, now we're getting into the M.C.U and the first of them is the sequel to 2018's Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Now, the reason why this isn't higher on the list is because there's a lot of concern around this film. Obviously the first big thing you'd think is the fact that Chadwick Boseman is after passing away, which already one big tragedy, but there is some other things too like there's a whole controversy around Letitia Wright apparently and so those two things are reasons why people are concerned. But, I'm still confident they can do something with this. I actually heard that this was gonna be about T'Challa and Nakia's son, so, that's interesting. Whatever the case, I'm still really excited to see what they can do and especially since this is the sequel to one of my personal favourite M.C.U films.

4. Strange World:

At number 4 is the next Disney Classic after Encanto, Strange World. While I'm super excited for this like always, I don't think we know enough about it yet for me to be placing it higher. The concept art seems interesting and I do have more excitement for this more than either of the Pixar movies this year and I have more hope for it. I'm sure as we get more info and get closer to the release, I'll be more excited and interested to know what the actual plot for this will be. And given Disney was able to do great work last year with Raya And The Last Dragon and Encanto, that gives me a lot more excitement to see what will happen with this.

3. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness:

Another 2022 M.C.U movie on here is Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. There's like a billion reasons to be excited for this but the main reason I am is because of all the possibilities that can be opened up to the M.C.U because of it. There's so many rumours surrounding this about so many new characters that could be brought in and after Spider-Man: No Way Home, this has me just all the more pumped for this. But there's so many things to already be excited for like seeing that evil Doctor Strange and seeing Stephen and Wanda teaming up as well as all the rest. Really, just all the possibilities this could open up for the future of the M.C.U almost seems endless at this stage.

2. Thor: Love And Thunder:

Coming in close to number 1 is actually the M.C.U movie I'm most excited for, Thor: Love And Thunder. I'm not gonna lie, originally, I was kinda skeptical about this. I'm not sure why, but something about how weird the title felt and the way things were looking was a bit odd to me. But, the more I thought about it, the more I'm excited for this. The fact that Taika Waititi is coming back is the main reason, but also all the other things this film could implement. We're gonna be getting Natalie Portman back as Jane and she's gonna becoming Lady Thor and we're also probably gonna be getting the Guardians back in this and a lot of this is seeming really awesome and fun to me. Thor: Ragnarok is one of the most fun M.C.U movies ever and I can't wait to see Taika Waititi bring this back for this film too.

And my number 1 most anticipated release of 2022 is... The next Kingdom Hearts project:

And finally at number 1 is the same thing it always is, the upcoming Kingdom Hearts project. I know I always put this at number 1, but I really can't help it. And this one especially is really special considering, now that it's 2022, it's the 20th anniversary since the first game and we're supposedly gonna get a really big announcement really soon. I hope it's an announcement for Kingdom Hearts 4 or some kinda showing for it in a way. Not to mention the other things happening this year for it like how the series is coming to the Nintendo Switch and I've started doing Let's Plays as sorta of a celebration of those facts and as a lead up to the next game. So, yeah, I know this must be annoying to see every time I do these, but I'm still saying whenever the Kingdom Hearts announcement for this year is, I'm really excited for it. And that's why the next Kingdom Hearts project is my most anticipated release of 2022. And so, everyone, those are my pick for my most anticipated releases of 2022. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

Moon Knight Trailer

All right guys, so we're still getting more news of more M.C.U shows on Disney+ and today, we got the official trailer for, honestly, the show I'm most excited for, Moon Knight. Even though I don't know much about the character himself, I know enough to be excited to finally see him in live action and this trailer does a really good job of showing why. It looks really dark, even for a fairly dark character in the M.C.U, this does look surprisingly dark. We were even told that a lot of this was gonna be darker and more violent than the things we're used to seeing in the M.C.U and a lot of this trailer is exciting for me. I like seeing Oscar Isaac in the M.C.U and it's reminding me of some other stories of characters going crazy due to hearing voices in their heads and the actual Moon Knight costume itself does look really cool. So, yea, I'm just excited to see what this is like and it'll be exciting to see a new character added to the M.C.U. Also, I have finished Hawkeye, so hopefully I'll get my review of it out soon. Anyway, here's the trailer and I hope you all like this.

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Teaser

 Okay, I know I'm late with showing this, but I've been really busy lately to make entries so I kinda forgot, but now I'm showing all of you the trailer for Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. This movie has honestly been very interesting upon closer to the release and a lot of that is due to the behind the scenes drama that's been going on with it with Scott Derrickson leaving and Sam Raimi being brought in as the director and the whole thing about how this was being built up as a horror movie. Seeing as Sam Raimi is directing this, that does make sense, and, while I don't think this trailer shows that, there is still a lot to like about this. It's cool seeing this after seeing WanadVision and Spider-Man: No Way Home because there's still clearly a lot being brought over from those and everything does still look interesting. We get to see Stephen talking to Wanda and we even get to see Mordo again after a long while. I also think it's cool we're seeing that evil Doctor Strange character who was in What If... and everything about how this could bring in a whole bunch of new characters into the M.C.U is insanely exciting. I think that's probably the thing about this I'm most excited about, just seeing all the new characters that could be introduced to the M.C.U because of this film. So, yeah, really excited to see what's in this and where the direction goes. Also, yeah, it's cool to see this after No Way Home considering this was the end credit scene of that film. Anyway, yeah, I'm really excited. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this. 

My Shoto Todoroki, Natsu Dragneel, Yusei Fudo, Saitama, Kirishima, Nico Robin and Jimbei collectibles (Review)

So, for the past few days, I've been getting a lot more collectibles of anime characters for Christmas and I did reviews for all of them. In this case, I got the ones for Todoroki, Natsu, Yusei, Saitama, Kirishima, Robin and Jimbei. It was great getting all of these and adding them to my collections. It was awesome adding more to my Straw Hat and Class 1A collections as well as cool to be getting more anime protagonists. I was especially happy to finally get one for Yusei because he was kinda hard to find but I did find one on eBay and while it was really expensive, I was able to get it for Christmas and I find it amazing to have gotten another Yu-Gi-Oh! character. Also, as to why I have two videos, I did the Todoroki one first and was gonna show it on here as per usual, but then some of the others started to come and so I wanted to wait until all of these were here to show them. And so, here they are and I hope you all like these.

My Let's Play Of Kingdom Hearts

So, everyone, I've finally done it. After all this time, I've finally been able to start doing my Let's Plays on my YouTube channel. I've honestly been trying to do this ever since around November 2019 and now I've finally begun. The first I'm starting off with is obviously the Kingdom Hearts games and I'm doing them in order of release and so I started the first one yesterday and I actually just posted the second part now. It's really been a dream of mine to properly do Let's Plays and now I've finally gotten started with my favourite video game series of all time. I'm so incredibly excited to continue with the rest of the series and especially get ready for the next Kingdom Hearts game. This is now the 20th anniversary of the first Kingdom Hearts game and a lot of people, including me, are excited to see what we'll get out of this year. So, yeah, really, here it is. Please do watch and subscribe for more of my Let's Plays of the Kingdom Hearts series coming really soon.

My Kingdom Hearts 3 Ventus Bring Arts figure (Review)

So, after almost a whole year of not getting any Bring Arts figure for a Kingdom Hearts character, I finally recently with my new one for Ven. My sister got it for me for Christmas and I was so glad I finally got one of him and that means I finally have him and Aqua together. That means that in terms of the Guardians, I just need Terra left and I can't wait to eventually get him. And this one as well is really cool. I always love getting these and getting more of these ones for Kingdom Hearts. I may try getting the second versions of Sora and Riku at some point, but, for now, my priority after finally gotten Ven is to get Terra and putting all ten of the Guardians together, plus my SH Figures of Donald and Goofy as well. I cant wait to all of them together at last and see what it looks like. And so, here's my review of my figure for Ventus and I hope you all like this.

My top 5 movies of 2021

So, everyone, now that 2021 is over, that means it's time to talk about my favourite movies of the entire year. This was a bit of a tossup for me because, while I did see a lot of movies this year compared to what I usually see, a good amount of them were either movies I didn't like at all or thought were kinda mediocre. But I still did see a lot of films I thought were amazing and some were even mind-blowing. There are some I wish I did see that maybe could have made it onto this list too to maybe make it a top 10 list, but for now, these are just my top 5. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.

5. Encanto:

Starting us off is the latest Disney Classic. I know this was usually placed as the best animated movie of 2021, but I personally thought another was slightly better. That being said, I still really enjoyed this film a lot. The fact that it's a Disney Classic is obviously a big reason, but it's still a great one and they did a great job with it. I loved the setting with being inside the Madrigal's house the whole time and the songs were also fantastic to listen to. And, like I said in my review, I liked it's showing of having Mirabel as the only one in the family without a gift and so the arc for her was made more interesting for her. And, again having the songs be done by Lin-Manuel Miranda was a brilliant idea because he's a phenomenal song writer and he did a great job with these. Really, I was just so glad to see another Disney Classic in theatres again and it was this good.

4. Shang-Chi: And The Legend Of The Ten Rings:

Next up is the first of the M.C.U movies this year on this list, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings. Easily one of the best M.C.U movies we've gotten in the past few years, this film gave us one of the most charismatic protagonists in the M.C.U in a while, absolutely incredible performances from everyone and some of the best action we've seen in any action movie in a long time. This film honestly made Simu Liu one of my favourite M.C.U actors and I love how it has one of my all time favourite M.C.U villains with the real Mandarin with another one of my favourite M.C.U performances from Tony Leung. I just feel like this film gave me even more respect to the people in behind the scenes of the M.C.U, which is really saying something considering how massive of a fan I already am. But, even if it didn't have an amazing story with fantastic performances, which it clearly does, the action in it alone would be enough for me to love it because it's all so fantastically executed.

3. Raya And The Last Dragon:

At number 3 is the other Disney Classic released this year and the one I preferred, Raya And The Last Dragon. Not only was this the Disney film I was more excited for, but I also very much appreciated how much work was done to it. Encanto did too, but this just has so much more of what I want in a Disney film. It's one of the most fun I may have ever seen, some of the best animation I've ever seen and has so many memorable characters. And really, as the massive Disney fan I am, this is exactly what I want from future Disney Classics as well because, especially after watching it more times, this has definitely become one of my favourite Disney movies like I mentioned before. It even has one of my favourite Disney songs with Lead The Way. And, whatever the next Disney Classic is after Encanto, I can't wait for it.

2. The Suicide Squad:

Coming in close to number 1 is honestly my favourite DC movie ever, The Suicide Squad. And I mean in all of DC. Yes, even more than The Dark Knight trilogy. Those movies are fine and they're really good, but I don't love them. The Suicide Squad on the other hand is everything I could want out a super fun, funny and really enjoyable experience like this. And it fixed everything the previous DC.E.U movies did wrong with having amazing buildup to the final fight, amazing and extremely violent action and visual effect, hilarious moments and just being a very well written and well paced story. It also a film that has a fantastic style to it thanks to James Gunn and what he brings to the film is so enjoyable that I can't help but really, really enjoy it. And, if they ever decide to do another movie like this, I absolutely cannot wait for it.

And my number 1 favourite movie of 2021 is... Spider-Man: No Way Home:

And finally at number 1 is probably most anticipated movie that was coming out this year, Spider-Man: No Way Home. Yeah, really, from the beginning, even though I'm a gigantic fan of the M.C.U's version of Spider-Man, since the beginning, I was really nervous about this film after hearing the Sony Spider-Man characters were crossing over with this because that made me think that this could go wrong with being so overstuffed and having other problems like that. But, thankfully, this film and the crew and cast proved me wrong and they created one of the best cinematic experiences I think I've ever had. And, while, no, it's not perfect and there are things in it I have problems with like some plot holes, that didn't take away from how much I enjoyed this. In fact, I've seen the film two times already and I hope to see it again before it comes out of cinemas. There was amazing performances from everyone, so many callbacks to other movies and the actual characters we do see in this is truly mind-blowing. I don't want to say too much in case you haven't yet, but something else that's incredible is the fact that it's now made over a billion dollars at the box office worldwide and I said to a friend of mine that the fact that it could really do that during the pandemic is extremely impressive. And, there's a good reason for that. And all that is why Spider-Man: No Way Home is my favourite movie of 2021. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 5 movies of 2021. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think or even tell me what your favourite movies of 2021 are.

My Tien collectible (Review)

So, it's kinda been a while since I got a collectible for any Dragon Ball characters and I finally got one recently. It's one for Tien. This one I got is in collection of a bunch of other characters from the series during the Cell Saga of Dragon Ball Z. And, since I finally got another one and Tien in particular, that means I've gotten nine characters from Team Universe 7 from Dragon Ball Super that I'm looking for and I'm still working on getting Krillin. This one of Tien though isn't one of the better ones I have, but I'm still glad to have one of him and I've personally always liked Tien so adding him to the case with the other characters was good to get. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

And so, everyone, we're finally here. I finally to see Spider-Man: No Way Home. After a whole year of waiting, it's finally out and I just saw it last night. I was honestly super hyped for this, but also skeptical because the trailers and the plot did make me feel a bit cautious about this. However, the early reviews started coming in and they were all positive. People were saying how good this was and so that definitely made me feel so much better and that made the hype for this even bigger going in. And, right off the bat, the first thing I'll get out of the way is that this might be my favourite M.C.U movie ever. I know that's kind of a drastic claim to make, but I honestly thought this movie was incredible. That's not to say it's perfect, there are problems, but the things that are amazing in this are truly monumental. I can't begin to express the happiness with this film. I have a lot of thoughts on this film and there's a lot I wanna talk about, especially in the spoiler section, but I'll try my best to avoid spoilers in this first part of the review. So, what's the story? Well, ever since Mysterio revealed Peter is Spider-Man in the last movie, his life is being thrown into chaos. Police are after him, he's being hated by everyone around him and it damaging his life and his loved ones. So, after a while, he gets the idea to ask Stephen for help, but he messes with the spell that causes it to go wrong which leads the villains from the other Spider-Man movies to cross over. And, I'm gonna stop there because that's as far as we know from the trailers and everything we've officially been shown. So, yeah, let's get into the great stuff here. For one, Tom Holland is still proving to be an incredible actor and this is honestly my favourite performance of his . There's a lot of thing Peter goes through and he does a fantastic job in this. The rest of the cast is also still fantastic and I really enjoyed Peter and MJ in this. I found it, not terrible, but nothing amazing in Far From Home with their relationship. Here, I really liked it and thought they worked off each other well. Same with Jacob Batalon as Ned again. He's still fantastic in these movies and the dynamic the three of them had was really fun to watch. I also liked seeing Stephen in this again and Benedict Cumberbatch is still terrific in these movies. I also liked the relationship he and Peter have in this. It goes in ways I didn't expect and I really liked it. The rest are also fantastic and something else that's different in this film that sets it apart from the other Spider-Man movies is that this is way darker. I'm obviously not saying why, but this is totally the darkest Spider-Man movie I think we may have ever seen. And I love that. I love how it feels like they're bringing these characters more and more into adulthood. Tom Holland's Spidey started off as a young teenager and it was fun to see him like that, but, ever since then, they've been making his journey more adult and I like how you see the circumstances becoming a lot more adult. That's not to say it's very dark, it's still super fun and upbeat in a lot of scenes, but they definitely knew how to make this more of a darker story. There's one part in particular did actually make me cry. The film's also really funny. There's some really hilarious scenes in this and all the jokes landed in my opinion. As far as action and effects, yeah, they're all great here. Okay, there are some effects that are kinda weird, but the majority of them and the action are all really impressive, creative and really cool. The villains as well are so great here and, yeah, it's incredible to see Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Thomas Haden Church, Rhys Ifans and Jamie Foxx all here and interacting off each other. Trust me, they're in this a lot. They don't just show up and have a small role, they have a lot to do in this. That was something me a lot of other people were worried about, but they have a huge substantial part to play in the film and all their performances are fantastic. I was also surprised to find that there is a main villain in this. I just assumed all the villains were equal in this, but, I was very, very shocked to see that this film does have a main villain. Another thing I have to say is that I have give so much credit to Jon Watts. He did a fantastic job balancing all of this. This reminded me of Infinity War and Endgame a bit in that this is a huge movie with so many characters, but it's balanced so well. Honestly, this film felt like the combination of everything I've ever wanted in a Spider-Man movie. We really get to see Tom Holland's Spidey fight these other movie villains like Willem Dafoe's Goblin. That was something I wanted for a long time but I never thought they would ever do that. And it has the phenomenal character writing I love about the Spider-Man character that makes him still my favourite superhero ever. However, with all that said, is this movie perfect? No it's not. There are some weird things in this. The biggest is some editing problems that felt so weird to me. There's the scene between Peter and Stephen when he goes to talk to him and I thought that part was edited a bit better in the trailer because the way it's done in the film is weirdly edited and put together. There's also one scene in a building where a lot of the characters were and we barely see them together. They're just in single shots by themselves. It felt a tad lazy to me. I dunno why they did it like that, but just having the characters in single shots like that was just really strange to watch. As someone who wanted to see them together a lot, it was weird to see it done like that. But, that's really about it. Really, just some of my problems were some editing choices and, while they can be kinda distracting, they don't really take anything away from the film. Really, this just feels like a movie that should be remembered just as strongly as Infinity War and Endgame because of how absolutely different and ambitious this film is. It does so many things that I've never seen in a movie before and it should absolutely be remembered for being able to do something like that. It was also cool to see some fan service with some of these characters too. There's some callbacks to the villains' appearances in the other movies and it was really fun to see and there was so much nostalgia in this too. So, yeah, really guys, the hype for this movie is totally worth it. This is one of the best cinema experiences I've had in a long time and I would say this is definitely my favourite M.C.U Spider-Man movie. Maybe my favorite Spider-Man movie period. So, I'm obviously recommending this. This film definitely deserves all the love it's gonna get. Like I said, it's far from perfect, but I had an incredible time with this and I can't wait to see it again. And so, yeah, everyone, that's my review for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Thank you all for reading and please comment below to tell me what you think. Okay, now we're getting into the spoilers. If you don't want anything spoiled, go see the film and then come back and read the rest of this.

Spoilers:

Okay, there's a lot to talk about in the spoilers here that I barely know where to start. Obviously the first big one to talk about with the beginning, Charlie Cox is officially back as Matt Murdock. I swear, as soon as he came on, I lost my mind. As someone who's been a massive fan of the Netflix shows and Charlie Cox as Daredevil in particular and has wanted the shows and movies to crossover at some point, this was insane and even though he was only in it for two minutes, that whole part was easily one of the best in the movie and I adored it. I can't wait to see more of him and it was especially amazing to see him interacting with Peter first. That was amazing. Okay, so I guess the next one is when the villains really do appear, it was cool and funny when Peter is able to control Otto's arms and seeing them interact was awesome. It was especially cool with Goblin showed up and then they just leave. It was also cool seeing Lizard already captured. I also liked how they redesigned Lizard. He looked different to me and he looked better in my opinion. I also thought Sandman first showing up to help Peter was cool. It was nice to see them team up against Electro. It was also cool to see how they fix Max and get his body back. And then the fight with Peter and Stephen when he tries to send them back was awesome. I loved seeing Stephen using the Mirror Dimension but Peter is able to still beat him. It was also cool when Peter goes back to the villains and Norman says "I'm something of a scientist myself." That was the part with the villains referencing the other movies I mentioned that I thought was cool. I also loved the scene where Peter and the villains go to his apartment so he can help them. That was that one scene I mentioned that was kinda weird with how everyone was in single shots. That scene was awesome, but I didn't like how it was shot with the villains not in a wide shot together and we just saw them individually. It was still cool, but that did bother me. But, the scene is made even more tense when the Goblin comes out of Norman and he convinces the villains to go bad again. And, I'm not gonna lie, the part where May dies was the part that did make me cry. I really didn't expect to cry in this, but that scene really did make me cry and Tom Holland and Marisa Tomei's performances were a huge help in that. And, then, the biggest spoiler in this whole film, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield both return as Spider-Man. I'm telling you, as soon as they came on screen, my audience roared and I was the same. After all these years and after so many fan theories, they finally, finally, finally did it. They really did a gigantic crossover with the three big screen Spider-Men and I loved it. I'll be honest, I was kinda nervous about that that maybe this would destroy the film, but, no, it just added to it and made it so absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't believe it when they came on and it was amazing. And seeing three of them have the traditional M.C.U banter was amazing. They worked off each other so well and I couldn't believe what was happening. I was just acting like a child when they had their scenes together. And, really, the performances from all of them really sold the chemistry between them and made it all the more fun to watch. And, seeing the three of them fighting alongside each other in the final battle was a dream come true. My favourite shot in the whole movie as well was either when they were running together or when they all landed on the Statue Of Liberty. Plus, the way they all get there, with Ned actually using magic totally surprised me. I didn't see that coming and I love how they did that and gave him more to do in this. And, not only was the interactions between the three of them great, but also the interactions with the villains. I loved seeing Garfield talking to Electro and then Maguire talks to Otto and Sandman. And I think they even make amends as they're curing them. I especially liked seeing Garfield and Max talking and I love how he references Miles Morales. That especially was so cool. Plus, another one of the things I hoped they'd do that they did do when MJ fell. Me and a bunch of people theorised that when that happened, Garfield was gonna catch her and he did. My God, I could not believe that I really saw that happen. But then it's really cool when Holland's Peter gets in that fist fight with the Goblin and that was pretty brutal with them both pummeling each other. And, I really did think Maguire was gonna die when the Goblin stabbed him. But it was nice when they got Norman back. And I also loved the ending with the three Peter's saying goodbye to each other but then it's made super tragic when Peter has to sacrifice his whole existence to stop those beings from coming through so he has to make it so that not a single person knows who he is and his farewell to Ned and MJ was really sad and kinda sweet too. And I like how Peter was able to make amends with Stephen before he casts the spell. And, I loved how it end with Peter's existence being erased from every person's memory and I liked the scene that follows with him at the graveyard and him talking to Happy who now doesn't know him and then he goes to the restaurant MJ works at and their conversation was really nice. And I also thought the ending made sense with Peter making a homemade suit and making it look like the Classic Suit and it makes sense considering he no longer has access to Stark Tech and I like how he's basically been reset to square one and he's probably gonna fight smaller scale things again. And, yeah, I just loved the ending. so, yeah, really guys, this just had everything I could ever want in a huge epic Spider-Man movie and it totally delivered everything it was aiming for. I just couldn't hold in my excitement while watching and this was just such a cinematic experience. As far as the mid credit scene, it was kinda weird. We just see Eddie talking to someone and then he's beamed right back to where he belongs. Okay, yeah, that was pretty annoying. I was really excited to see them interact with Tom Holland in some way, but that didn't end up happening. I did love how there was a piece of Symbiote left over which means there could be a Venom in the M.C.U, but, yeah. It was annoying we only saw this Eddie in it for just thirty seconds without him meeting anyone and then he's brought back. That was disappointing. But it doesn't take anything away from the film and I am excited to see what that Symbiote piece does. And the actual end credit scene with that Doctor Strange: Into The Multiverse Of Madness trailer was cool. So, yeah, overall, guys, I can't express my love for this film enough. I am absolutely recommending seeing this even if you've seen it already because I'm definitely gonna try to see it again. As far as the M.C.U this year, this is definitely my favourite thing to come out of it and I had so much fun with this film. And, so, yeah, everyone, that's my review for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Thank you all for reading and please comment down to tell me what you think.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Anime Review) Part 1

So, I know it's been a few months since my last anime review, but I'm finally back with them again. The reason I stopped was because I was beginning to watch a lot more new anime and I wanted to watch them before doing more of these reviews. But, now I'm back with them with my review of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I haven't seen all of the parts of JoJo yet. I've only seen Phantom Blood up until Stardust Crusaders. So, this review will only be talking about the first three parts. That's why the title says Part 1. I'm hoping to start seeing Diamond Is Unbreakable and Golden Wind really soon, but, for now, I'm just doing Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders. So, anyway, yeah the JoJo series is insanely popular throughout the world and I myself have been curious to check it out for a while. I then decided to get the Blu-Rays for the first three parts because they were the only ones that were available here and I wanted to see what the all the hype was about. It's another Shonen Jump series created by Hirohiko Araki and the basic plot for all of them is that each part follows a member of the Joestar family as something happens in their lives that causes them to need to stop someone from doing something in some way. So, let's just get started with the original, Phantom Blood. I actually hadn't heard that many great things about this before starting, especially from one guy in particular who said he really didn't like it. So, I went into this first part curious, but also pretty hopeful because I knew this was such a huge series and I was excited to start it. And, in the end, yeah, I'm pretty much the same. I personally didn't like Phantom Blood. It's not bad and, as a whole, it is good, I suppose, but, I personally just found the vast majority of this first part really boring. I know the manga started in the late eighties, which was actually when Dragon Ball was still being made, but I really don't think it's aged well at all. There's so many parts of this that're really cheesy and I couldn't get behind this. The plot for this one is that a guy named Dio Brando is adopted into the Joestar family and he decides he wants to take their fortune for himself. In the family is a guy named Jonathan Joestar and Dio tries to make his life a nightmare so Jonathan has to try to stop him from killing his dad. So, I will admit, the set up for the series is actually interesting and I know how iconic a lot of these characters are, especially Dio as one of the most iconic Shonen Jump villains ever and he was probably my favourite part of this first part. As for the rest of it, I was honestly really bored while watching most of this. Jonathan himself in particular really bored me. He wasn't bad but he was just so uninteresting and bland. And, since we follow him for the whole time, I found it kinda hard to get through most of this. Like I said, everything to do with Dio was far more interesting because he was pretty fun to watch. It's kinda hard to explain but it's kinda like Frieza and Hisoka. They may be irredeemable villains who do horrible things, but they're just so much fun to watch and so charismatic that they're impossible to really hate. And the stuff with him was interesting to watch and I did find it cool when we learn about Hamon. That stuff was pretty cool, but, really, a large majority of this still did just bore me a lot. And, I know Phantom Blood in the anime was only nine episodes long, but it felt so much longer and the episodes were dragged out so much and the pacing was so slow that I wished the whole thing would just end. And, I will admit, the actual ending is pretty cool on that ship when Jonathan and Erina get married and then Dio attacks him with his zombie army. That whole part actually is really good. And it's interesting that this is a Shonen Jump property when the main protagonist is killed at the end like that. So, that whole part was probably my favourite sequence in the whole first part. But, really, as a whole, Phantom Blood is definitely my least favourite part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure so far. The same goes for the dubbing as well. I'm obviously referring to the recent anime that started in 2012 and so they tried to modernise it, but I really don't think it works very well. The writing and all that may have been good for the time when the manga started in the eighties, but not really nowadays. And, like I said, I don't think the dubbing really helps because the writing really hasn't aged well. I was pretty surprised when I found out that Johnny Yong Bosch played Jonathan and, while not bad, Johnny Yong Bosch can never do a bad performance, this is definitely my least favourite performance of his. It's not his fault, Jonathan is just really boring and it's honestly really weird hearing him doing a British accent. I'd say, next to Dio, Zeppeli was probably my favourite character. He's the guy who teaches Hamon to Jonathan and he was probably my second favourite character. But, overall, yeah, I mostly didn't enjoy watching Phantom Blood. It may have worked back when it was released, but I really don't think it's aged well at all and, really, I was mostly just really relieved when I finished watching it. It may be really short with just a few episodes, but they feel so slow and so long that it's such a drag to get through them. So, yeah, those are my thoughts on Phantom Blood. Now, let's move onto Part 2, Battle Tendency. Now, while this may have come right after Phantom Blood, this is a gigantic improvement. This was actually the part I knew the least about in terms of the first five parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. And I think that helped make the experience all the more enjoyable because, from the three parts of JoJo I've seen so far, this one is my favourite. Its story is way better thought out, its characters are infinitely more interesting and the progression of the plot is really genius. I just had an absolute blast with Battle Tendency. This one follows Jonathan's grandson, Joseph Joestar, as he tries to learn Hamon to fight a group of villains called the Pillar Men alongside Caesar Zeppeli, the grandson of Zeppeli from Phantom Blood. So, yeah, again, I just had so much fun with this part. I loved seeing the characters interacting and what they spoke about was really interesting. I also liked Joseph a lot more than Jonathan because he was actually really fun. I loved his smart mouth attitude and he was really funny. I also really liked Caesar, he and Joseph had a really fun dynamic and it was pretty sad when he was killed. The Pillar Men were also way better as villains than Dio was. I liked Dio in Part 1, but there were point where he was a bit much for me, but the Pillar Men were better. Well, kinda. The only one that really stood out to me was Wamuu. There were four in total but the only one who really stood out to me was the one named Wamuu. One part for that was the writing, but another part was also the fact that Paul St. Peter voiced him. As in the same guy who voices Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts. So, that was obviously awesome for me to hear. But, really, he felt like he was the best written. I don't remember much about the others aside from Kars, as in the main villain of Part 2, but he sometimes was too generic. But the rest of the characters are very fun to watch. I really like all the side characters like Caesar, Smokey, Lisa Lisa and it was cool that Erina came back as a supporting character in this again. And I liked the plotline of Lisa Lisa actually being Joseph's mom but also not wanting to tell him for his safety and then taking him and Caesar in as her students. And, I'm not gonna lie, a lot of the training Joseph and Caesar were doing with Hamon reminded me of the training in Naruto with them learning about Chakra from Kakashi. I just couldn't help but make that comparison while watching it. The journey as well overall is just so much fun and the ending when Joseph, Caesar and Lisa Lisa go to try to stop Kars is also cool with them fighting different opponents and them having some gladiator thing with them fighting monsters was really cool. And, the ending as well is just insane. Like, I've seen some really insane final fights in anime before, but this one is just madness. We have Joseph trying to fight Kars and he tries to make him fall into a volcano but they both keep surviving in the craziest ways until he somehow beats him by launching him into space to make him freeze. Again, it's just absolutely insane, but it works really well. And then the actual ending with all of them reuniting with Joseph having married Suzie Q is really nice and kinda funny. I also felt like a lot of moments in this that were trying to be satisfying worked a lot more than the ones in Phantom Blood because, even though it was almost twice the amount of episodes in the anime, I felt like it was structured so much better. Really, overall, I just loved Battle Tendency. I thought it was a ginormous improvement over Phantom Blood and it had a story that was super investing and I had a great time with it. I would definitely want to watch this again at some point and I do think it's the best part of JoJo I've seen so far. But, with those first two parts finished, let's move onto Part 3, Stardust Crusaders. This was honestly the part I was most excited to see and it's easily the most popular part in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I knew so much about this part and from what I saw, I was really excited. However, I'm not gonna lie, about 75-80% of this was a disappointment to me. Let's get to what I liked first though. First off, this has easily my favourite leading JoJo in it, Jotaro Kujo. Even before watching it, he was already my favourite JoJo from what I had seen in some clips beforehand. And watching the series confirmed that. He is easily my favourite character in this entire franchise so far. I loved Jotaro. I also loved the setup. In fact, the opening and ending to this part is amazing. This one follows Jotaro, who's Joseph's grandson, as he goes with Joseph and some other people to find and kill Dio who's after been resurrected and now Jotaro has to find and kill him to save his mom, who's also Joseph's daughter, Holly. So, the start of the series is really great when we're getting to know about what's happening and I also liked the inclusion of Stands, basically the main power system of the series which creates a being made of aura to fight for the person who wields it. And the Crusaders themselves were awesome. I loved all of them, Jotaro, Joseph, Polnareff, Avdol, Kakyoin and Iggy. I loved them all and the whole interactions with all of them was so much fun. I also felt like Joseph had more of a personality here. However, what I really, really disliked about this was the length. This whole part of the series is insanely long and so much of this does feel like a waste of time because the team is trying to get to Cairo to find and kill Dio but they keep running into people who're also Stand users and working for Dio and they would always just fight them and then move into the next episode and that was how every episode was. It was just them going somewhere and having a fight and then rinse and repeat. So much of this felt so much like filler. And, as you all know, I hate filler in anime. And considering so much of this felt like that was honestly kinda frustrating. It also kinda baffles me that this was all actually in the manga. I realise it would have been weird if they got to Cairo really fast so I do understand wanting to buy time to make it more like a proper story. But, this thing goes on for way too long and it just got boring for me. And the fact that it's ten volumes and 48 episodes long is just insane to me. I actually skipped most of the episodes after they got to Egypt because I knew what the vast majority of the episodes were gonna be. I will admit, there were some episodes that were kinda creative, but, for the most part, I was just waiting for them to get there. But, with all that being said, the actual ending of this part is absolutely phenomenal. When they actually get to Cairo and face off against Dio, it's honestly one of the best moments in anime I think I've ever seen. The whole part when Dio comes out at night and he starts chasing them through the city is amazing and the ending part with Jotaro finally taking him on is just the pinnacle of it all.

It's just anime perfection. So, the ending of Stardust Crusaders is easily the best moment in the entire series for me. And it's all the more tragic when Avdol, Iggy and Kakyoin all die. So, yeah, the ending of this is honestly one of the best pieces in anime I think I may have ever seen and it has a great setup with an amazing opening. However, the whole getting to that ending does feel hard to get to because of all the events that feel like filler. There was never really any where I felt super entertained and it really did just bore me a lot. But, the payoff for it all is totally worth it so I do totally recommend it for that. I also love the dub for this too, especially Matt Mercer as Jotaro. So, yeah, while not perfect at all, there's so many amazing things in this part and I definitely see why it's the most popular JoJo part. And, so, yeah, those are my thought on the first three parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I can easily see why people are huge fans of this series and I see why it's insanely popular. I'm really excited to get started on Diamond Is Unbreakable and Golden Wind soon along with Stone Ocean and so, one day, I'll do a Part 2 where I talk about those. And so, yeah, I do recommend this series to you and I'm glad I got into it myself and I'm excited to do more anime reviews soon. And so, everyone, those are my thoughts on Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
