Entertainment Reviews(and Debate)

Rodel here. Today, I am reviewing Doctor Who. Let's begin. Doctor Who focuses on an alien called the Doctor who(ha, ha, wasn't intended) travels through time in a police box. Occasionally, he will travel with a companion. When I first heard of Doctor Who, it was mainly because of the Google doodle that came out to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Here it is. I felt confused so I asked my dad. He hadn't watched it either, but he suggested we watch it. And we did. We started with Christopher Eccleston's Doctor. It was rough. I was actually kind of terrified for the first few episodes. But as time went on, I got used to it. Then enter left: David Tennant. Wow. At the point when David Tennant became the Doctor, I began watching an episode everyday. He was quirky and funny, and I loved it. In present time, I have seen at least three episodes of each classic Doctor, so I could get into the feel of them. There's no Doctor that doesn't work for me. I love the different attitudes, even if the Sixth Doctor tried to strangle his companion. Companions are different. Some are useful, some are annoying, some are awesome. But there are some I really hate. First, Adam Mitchell. Anyone who's watched New Who should know who this is, and I shouldn't have to explain. Another is Martha. She always moped about how the Doctor didn't love her, and she wasn't that useful. Peri Brown from the classic series is not very entertaining either. Captain Jack Harkness. Don't worry, I'm not hating on him. Seeing him act in a different way then other people was cool. The Ninth Doctor was fine with it, the Tenth Doctor was annoyed by his antics. I just feel they made it awkward at times. I'm not hitting on homosexual things, I think that it was just rocky. River Song was done much better. (In case you didn't know, she is bisexual) Hints are dropped to what kind of a person River is, and I feel it was much more smooth than Jack. Doctor Who is one of those shows that I will show my kids. It has earned its keep in the greatest sci-fi classics. -

Oh dang, I love that movie. It slipped my mind. She's not a princess. -
Rodel suddenly saw a unicorn prancing through the middle of the chaos, little schoolchildren skipping around. What.....? he thought, until the unicorn ate his face. Rodel woke with a start. He was not in the infirmary.

Modal Seoul replied to Modal Seoul's topic in Entertainment Discussion
As a young kid, I loved Harry Potter. It still holds a special place in my heart, but has weakened as of late because of one thing. The Cursed Child. This pathetic excuse of an "eighth book" was only made to please fans, but it failed to do even that! Here are my thoughts. One thing I was perpetually disappointed in was Ron. In the actual books, Ron is an idiot but slowly grows up and develops. In Cursed Child, HE'S BACK TO BEING AN IDIOT!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, ROWLING?? RON BECAME A BELOVED CHARACTER, BUT NOW YOU'VE MADE HIM THE CRAZY UNCLE WHO PULLS THEIR NIECE'S NOSE OFF!! AND LET ME ASK YOU, WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE?? HE SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF WEASLEY WIZARD WHEEZES, NOT RONALD!! DID HE DIE OF AN EAR INFECTION? DID HE?? DID HE?? YOU MADE SO MANY PLOT HOLES!!! Another thing I was mad about was Hermione. Not because they cast a black woman, however. (People are allowed to interpret the character any way they like, but in my mind, I've always seen Hermione as an Emma Watson type.) It is because they FREAKING MADE HER THE FREAKING MINISTER OF MAGIC!!! NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY, BECOMES THE HEAD OF THE WIZARD COMMUNITY THAT QUICKLY. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT WAS THE MINISTER, NOT HERMIONE!! MAYBE LATER IN LIFE, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW! Also, in one of the parallel dimensions, it appears that Hermione and Draco Malfoy are becoming a "hot ticket" UHHHHH, GAG!!! ARE YOU DETERMINED TO KILL HARRY POTTER?? THAT IS NOT COOL, J.K.!!! The characters of Albus and Scorpius was....odd. I didn't have a huge problem with it, but they made it feel awkward. Albus does have the temperament and attitude that defines his sexuality, but it's just weird. (I personally don't approve of this, but again, interpretations are a thing.) One of the most confusing things was the time jumps and the parallel dimension stuff. I couldn't follow any of it at times, and it just made the book (or play or whatever) a lot worse. And finally, the biggest problem in the book. You all knew this was coming, and I have the right to smack this down, because it destroys Harry Potter continuity as we know it. This blemish is......THE TROLLEY WITCH!!! DUH!!!! J.K. ROWLING, I RESPECT YOU, BUT THIS MISTAKE ALMOST MADE THAT RESPECT FLY OFF THE CLIFFS OF INSANITY!!!!! WHAT IN THE THUNDERBIRD WERE YOU THINKING!!?? THE FREAKING TROLLEY WITCH IS A REAL PERSON!! SHE'S NOT "THE SENTINEL OF THE TRAIN"!!! SHE DOES NOT HAVE PUMPKIN PASTY GRENADES!! AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE A FREAKING SPIKED MACE FOR AN ARM!!! IF SHE ACTUALLY WAS THE SUPPOSED "GUARD", THEN WHERE WAS SHE WHEN THE DEMENTORS CAME ON BOARD?? WHERE WAS SHE WHEN HARRY AND RON FLEW A CAR OVER THE TRAIN?? SHE WASN'T THERE TO HELP HARRY WHEN HE GOT PWNED BY MALFOY! SHE WASN"T THERE WHEN THEY TOOK LUNA!! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!! I WILL NOT!!! HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD HAS EARNED ITS PLACE AT MY BOOK BURNING!!! To sum things up, if I didn't make it quite clear, I thought that The Cursed Child was the worst piece of fan fiction I've ever read. And it was written by the author! Anyone is welcome to challenge me. Go on. I dare you. -

Rodel here. Today, I'm going to finish the Wolverine trilogy up with Logan. This one will be a little weird, because I've only seen it edited.(I'm not of legal age yet.) But I'll do my best. (SPOILER WARNING!!) SFX: Way Down We Go by Kaleo(Trailer Music) Logan is a different movie. It's almost a different reality. In here, the titular character is world-weary, has chronic pain, and literally dying, slowly and surely by the very thing that was supposed to help him(ish). It's a better future than Days of Future Past, being clear, but having all the X-Men dead isn't. Logan's just living his days hustling for drugs and cutting arms off. (And quite a bit of cussing.) The movie has a great story, and an even better one when you watch X-Men: Apocalypse before it, because it just connects so well with this movie. The characters are intriguing in a way that you love them whether or not they're bad. Logan, the title character, is a very different person now. Even though he takes care of Xavier and works as a chauffeur, he is even reluctant to escort Laura to Eden, because he's just tired. But as he goes along this journey, he finally realizes that not everything has to be about himself. It's actually quite surprising how selfish he has been in past movies, such as refusing Charles and Erik in First Class or stopping Yashida just to save Mariko in The Wolverine. One could argue that he agreed to go back in time to save himself, not caring about who or what else was saved. But the fact that Laura was his daughter and Xavier's death(spoiler) happened, pushed him into reality. He begins to do things for other people, and recognizes the ramifications of his mistakes. (Xavier and the Munsons.) So by the time we see Logan die(spoiler), it's truly a beautiful death. Xavier is very different too. He's a hundred years old and suffers from Alzheimer's disease, which makes his psychic attacks deadly, as he can't control them. In 2029, he's probably the most dangerous mutant alive. During the hunt, Xavier's mind manages to stay relatively clear. I really liked the way his relationship with Logan was at the beginning of the movie. When he dies, he remembers a psychic attack he had that killed most of the X-Men (spoiler) and laments to Logan (actually X-24). It is a tender and heartfelt good-bye to our Professor X, but a necessary one to push Logan's character in the right direction. I loved Laura. Dafne Keen was incredible. Having her not speak for nearly most of the movie was a stroke of mastery on Fox's part. She helped Logan see that mutants could still survive. After that, I really don't have much to say. It was just fun to see how the dynamics of Logan and Laura's relationship went. The other characters were pretty decent, especially Caliban. Besides Logan, I would say my favorite character was Caliban. Most of his development happens before the movie's events. He aids the Essex company with finding mutants, and realizes his mistake. Going into hiding, he helps Logan take care of Xavier. Throughout the film, you can feel the guilt he has, and the determination to do better. I really liked his drive. When the Reavers find Logan, Caliban sacrifices himself(spoiler) so that Logan and Laura can escape. Donald Pierce was a whole different kettle of fish. The erratic moods we see in him make him a spectacular opponent for Logan. He has no mercy, no sympathy, and a sarcastic view of life and death. Zander Rice, though, didn't work for me. He was the mind behind the scheme, but to base the whole thing on just his father's death is kind of rocky for me. Concluding, Logan is definitely the best film in the X-Men Universe, perhaps the best that ever will be. It is Marvel's The Dark Knight. It is a work of art. I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute and look forward to seeing it again. -

Bayle here. I'm going to review a very controversial superhero movie. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. A lot of people have said they love this movie. A lot hate it. But here are my thoughts. I was quite disappointed in Superman. The character they made in Man of Steel was replaced by a bland, flat character who mopes around and plays in the tub. In this universe, he seems to be ignorant of the lives he ruins, and that really bothers me. They tried to make him feel guilt in the movie, but it didn't work at all. Another thing that confuses people was their version of Doomsday. If you guys have ever read DC Comics, Kryptonians can unleash a burst of energy quite like an atom bomb.(@Quiver, correct me if I'm wrong) But Doomsday has so much energy that he has to release it frequently, in order to not explode. Doomsday worked for me, but I would've preferred one closer to the comics. I think Lex Luthor was great. He was no Gene Hackman, but Jesse Eisenberg put a new, interesting twist into the character that I really liked. Batman is a whole different story. I loved him. Christian Bale's Batman stuck to "real-world" situations, suffering losses and struggling. Ben Affleck's Batman is a veteran. He knows the drill. He has suffered and fought countless villains. But he has learned to do what is necessary, just exactly what Bale couldn't do. Some people have complained about Batman using a gun, or outright killing people. Everyone, go look at Michael Keaton's Batman. He kills a lot of people. Alfred was pretty funny as well. He has more sass than Michael Caine, and isn't afraid to talk back. Wonder Woman was a fine addition as well. She's already out there, doing what she can to stop evil. I can't wait for her solo movie to debut. But this movie did concern me. I feel that the DCEU is rushing into this. They've already killed Superman, they've introduced the Justice League, and Superman is returning in the Justice League movie. To truly enjoy the DC universe, you must put Marvel aside and take DC as it is. Then these movies are pretty decent so far. If anyone feels like this is lacking, please comment. -

Superman. He's the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton, the Man of Tomorrow. He is seriously unbeatable. He's defeated Son Goku twice on Death Battle, and to avoid death from Batman, he said his mother's name. But what if he went up against all the Disney Princesses? (not including Mulan. She becomes a general) Let's analyze everything and see what would happen. The princesses will have their available resources ready at hand. Let us begin. (Disclaimer: This is a parody. Disney, don't sue me.) (Warning: Disney lovers will be offended.) Snow White: The young princess was quite naive, until she wised up in a terrifying minute-and-a-half running through the forest sequence. She can communicate with animals, which is a plus in the battle. Snow can also bring the Seven Dwarves and her ever heroic prince. When she fights, she'll summon many animals to try and overwhelm Superman. *cue the frost breath* Supes will then pick up Dopey, and since the Dwarves have a habit walking in single file, even during batlle, He'll just throw Dopey and knock them down like dominoes. And the Prince, well, I'm just glad I'm not him. Of course, then Superman would take Snow White out. Check one off the list. Cinderella: I almost don't want to do this one, because the live-action remake did it justice.(I liked it) But we must. Cinderella can also communicate with animals, but has a habit of getting too attached to them.She has expert cleaning skills, and can stay calm even under extreme duress. And of course, her Prince. Cinderella would call for her mice, birds, and wild dog to help, but again Superman would just let out his frost breath. Cinderella would try and hit him with the broom, but he'll pick it up from the other end, swing her around, and smash her into the Prince. Two down. Sleeping Beauty(Cartoon, NOT Maleficent!): I don't want to do this one either, because I actually loved this movie. But we must! We must know! Princess Aurora has a sad life. She was raised by three bumbling fairies, taught to be obedient and polite. Raised like this, she has a weird view of the outside world, and is extremely naive. She can communicate with animals as well, but on a smaller degree. Prince Philip(the only prince with a name in the really old movies) is also there to help, as well as the fairies. To protect Aurora, the fairies would attack first. One of Superman's weaknesses is magic, but he'll just fly really fast, dodge the spells, and WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!. No more fairies. Besides, they'd probably just change Superman into pink. (Make it Blue!) Aurora, Philip, and the few animals would try to fight. *HEAT VISION* The Little Mermaid: Ariel always wanted to know more about humans. It bordered on obsession. She has an incredible singing voice, and has a super-powered beast dad who is the king of the ocean. (Arthur, is that you?) Ariel would try to hit a high-enough decibel to cripple Superman, but alas it won't work. Supes' durability will allow him to charge the hapless princess with no affect. Her dad would pose a bigger threat. He'll shoot magic beams from his trident, but Superman will fly really fast, create a whirlwind that traps Triton, shatter his trident, and kill him with a kick. Any other help? Prince Eric/Poe Dameron? Forget it. He's too busy playing his flute. Beauty and the Beast: Ahh, Belle. Whether she's a headstrong young woman or a student of Hogwarts, it doesn't matter. She'll just start reading. The Beast would pose a small challenge, but not for long. The walking furniture would be destroyed in a blast of heat vision.(And Belle too.) Aladdin: Stubborn, impossible, female? You've got Princess Jasmine! She has access to some soldiers, and has a tiger and her stupid dad to back her up. Being the daredevil girl she is, they'd all charge Superman. Flying with super speed, the Man of Steel would punch the guards in different directions and throw Jasmine and her tiger into the sun. He'd then stop and see the poor Sultan, who is blissfully unaware of his surroundings as he builds a toy tower. *smash into the ground* Pocahontas: The Native American princess has her entire tribe and a raccoon to aid her. Superman would just use his freezing breath, as they aren't accustomed to cold temperatures, to take them out. The raccoon, though, would become.... "You just wanna suck the joy out of everything." The Princess and the Frog: Tiana is assertive, but that won't help her to fight the Man of Steel. She and Prince Naveen are no match for his fists. Tangled: Rapunzel is just like the Inhuman Medusa, except her hair doesn't move. She has control over soldiers, a horse, a chameleon(frog), and the best smuggler in the Outer Rim territories. She would try to tie Superman up in her hair and sing, but as it gains power from the sun, it would just enhance the Kryptonian's powers, enabling him to destroy everyone in one blast of heat. (Except the frog) Brave: Merida is truly a princess, unlike some on this list, and she is dang good at archery. Sadly, Superman would just grab the projectiles and launch them back at her. It looks like she got impaled by her own sword. Frozen: Elsa and Anna are two princesses from the kingdom of Arendel. They have access to soldiers, the ice delivery boy, and a anthropomorphic snowman. Can the Last Son of Krypton defeat them? That depends actually. Clark could easily remove the soldiers, Anna, Kristoff, and Olav, but Elsa is the real challenge. Using her powers, Elsa could create a snowstorm that blocks the sun. In this storm, she could hold out long enough to efficiently weaken Superman? It is possible and there is a chance of success, but Elsa would probably run out of energy before that happened. Kal would find her and blast her with heat vision. Just let it go, people. Let it go. Moana: The most recent Disney princess has some unique abilities, but it actually won't get her very far. Moana is a friend of the ocean, but she can't actually control the water(like Percy Jackson). She and her stupid chicken stand no chance. Maui, however, is a different story. He can shapeshift, like Martian Manhunter, and has that magic giant fish hook to aid him as well. After fighting for awhile, Superman would finally have the sense to take away Maui's hook and then it would be a contest of strength from there. We don't even have to guess the winner. The day goes to Superman. But if anyone would like to make revisions, feel free.

Let's do another one. How about.....hmmmm, well, since I did X-Men Origins, let's do The Wolverine! I'll do one for Logan as well. I have mixed feelings about The Wolverine. While it is an immense improvement from X-Men Origins, this film felt lacking in a lot of things. First of all, this movie has a ton of bad actors in it. From the young actor who played Yashida(the man obsessed with stealing Logan's healing factor) to Mariko Yashida(gag me), there is a lot of bad performances in this movie. Though the performances of Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen were good as ever. Also, there is like 6% character development in this film. I wish the movie would've delved deeper into the Yashida family, especially Shingen(the stereotypical abusive, stern, slash-and-hack Japanese father) who was a stereotypical abusive, stern, slash-and-hack Japanese father. My other big problem was that the way they inhibited Logan's healing factor in this one was stupid. FOX, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!??? YOU SHOULD BE SHOWING HOW POWERFUL LOGAN'S HEALING SHOULD BE, BUT INSTEAD YOU'RE LIKE, "OH, GEE, LET'S MAKE HUGH GET HURT MORE AND HAVE PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT HIM, WHEN WE SHOULD BE SHOWING THE ACTUAL HEALING TO REMEDY YET ANOTHER MISTAKE WE PUT IN X-MEN ORIGINS(that being they didn't utilize Logan's healing factor enough)THAT'LL BE FUN FOR EVERYONE!! YEAH!!" MORE LIKE NOT!!!!! LOGAN CAN HEAL WOUNDS FOR A REASON!!! USE IT!!! And now, the Silver Samurai. TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX!!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL THE X-MEN UNIVERSE?? THE SILVER SAMURAI IS A FREAKING BEAST, USING ENERGY TO POWER HIS SWORD, AND THEN YOU GUYS WERE LIKE, "OH, HEY LET'S MAKE ONE OF THE BEST JAPANESE MARVEL VILLAINS A STUPID GIANT ROBOT CONTROLLED BY AN OLD MAN WHO SHOULD REALLY BE LOCKED UP IN A SOVIET MENTAL ASYLUM!! EVERYONE WILL LOVE THAT!!" NOOOOO!! NO, I SAY! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! YOU STUPID HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVE HAVE RUINED THE MR. LOGAN GOES TO TOKYO STORYLINE!!!!! Despite these appalling problems, I really enjoyed seeing Logan living out in the Yukon wilderness like Sasquatch. It kind of showed more of Logan's animal side. The dreams that Logan has about Jean Grey were also cool to see. Finally, my favorite part of the movie was probably the post-credits scene. (Which says a lot about my view of the movie.) Seeing Ian and Patrick come up to Hugh and saying, "Wanna erase the terrible conclusion of our last adventure?" then Hugh just goes, *grunt*. was pretty fun. That's my opinion of The Wolverine. Feel free to comment. -
