Eureka Seven's 20th Aniversary

 

***Start_Of_Log***


Recently it was the 20th anniversary of the anime series Eureka Seven and i have to admit it was an interesting seeing a series that i watched when i was high school that is near and dear to my hearth reach such a milestone.

Hopefully we can get a sequel or something that is actually good , the series didnt have much success the past the original in my mind.

I dislike the movie Pocket full of rainbows ,the movie is a travesty while it does have cools mechs and action scenes the characters are awful its like seeing people you like turn and twisted.

AO did have its good moments but the inconsistencies with the original and the treatment of Eureka and Renton is too much too handle for.

The PS2 games (Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave and  Vol. 2: The New Vision) are pretty good from what i have heard and played.

The Transformers 01 (2009) Comic Review

***Start_Of_Log***


This series is a direct follow from the awesome series All Hail Megatron where Megatron (duh) defeats the Autobots (sort of) and takes over Earth causing massive destruction and chaos.


So basically this series is the whole humans hate/hunt Transformers from Age Extinction and done much better.

I am not going to spoil that whole series naturally the Autobots come and save but the damage was already done and now Humans hate all Transformers.I have a problem with that scenario (for some very good reasons) but I will talk about when I will (eventually) review that comic series but now to the issue at hand.


Also,if you want to read the events from IDW'S Transformers that lead to this, here's a chronological order of the series. You're welcome.



There also this series,but I don't know here it fits perfectly

So let's start with the comic at hand, but let's analyze the cover. I'll keep it simple it awesome the Transformers look amazing.


It's even better than the movie ones (until Age) look at the detail on them.

Power Rangers Super Megaforce My Version Or Rather My Fanfiction Of The Show

***Start_Of_Log***

So it appears that PR Super Megaforce is at an end, I mean they just showed the teaser for the next one.
Just one question what's with Kamen Rider Wizard will he be in the show?
                              
He's Inside the Kyoryuger mecha
There is usable footage of him.

But that footage might be missed used in Dino Charge since it's from an awesome crossover movie with Super Sentai (Power Rangers) Kamen Rider, Space Sherif and Beetleborgs. Maybe they will add Ultramans in the next one
Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff Super Hero Taisen Z (2013) you're welcome
Also wouldn't be ironic that the new series, Dino Charge will be a better anniversary season that the real anniversary season.

There's footage of MMPR ,Dino Thunder and Dino Charge are working together and some other team that they didn't adapt (Go-Busters).

But I'm getting ahead of myself this is a post about Super Megaforce and how Would I made it better so here's a list of things that I would have improved.
  • Number 1
1st of all I would have left Megaforce to end, or rather the Goseiger story and footage to end. And started fresh adapting the Gokaiger.
  •  Number 2 
After the defeat of the Megaforce bad guys I would have brought the new ones and I would have made them a threat not the winning and stupid (looking at you Vekar) truth that they are now.

They would have been the elite force or something of the Armada (and a better name than the Armada).
Have them be so powerful that they crush the Rangers with ease and Gosei is forced to send the keys to distant corners of the Galaxy and dimensions (wink wink).
  • Number 3
I would have had the new Rangers have been chosen from distant corners of the galaxy like:Aquitar, Karoven( KO-35),Mirinoi and Mercuria.
I know that there 2 spots (Silver and Other) so thought of some alternatives and couldn't decide so here they are:

1) Make them both normal humans
2) Have one of them be a magical creature from Mystic Force
3) He came from the RPM universe (somehow)
4) Have one of them be from Zordon's species, but I want AkaRed to be either Zordon's son or Zordon himself.
5)or have one of them be Triforian and the other a magical creature.

And yes, I would have kept the Silver Ranger human his morpher is the latest prototype from Gosei.Funny how they got that in reverse in Super Megaforce. 
  • Number 4
Every Villains in PR had tried to conquer the world with a few exceptions.

The only ones that thought bigger where the United Alliance of Evil.

How would have I made these guys stronger ? Simple they already conquered the galaxy and now are struggling to control from whom?(that's for later).
 
 Also the 1st 5 episodes would have been an introduction to the 5 main rangers and a show of how did the Armada conquered their planets. I know that this would have been annoying, but these rangers are the strongest of the power rangers heck they could create their own teams by just using the keys.

There was this guy in Gokaiger  Basco ta Jolokia that could do this.

The Red would have been last and the team will have been formed in episode 6 where they would have found the space ship (Gokai Galleon) along with the Red Ranger and the Bird and a new Alpha Robot that looks like this

 This bot should be the missing  Alpha5 that has been rebuild by AkaRed.
  • Number 5

The format of the show would have been simple the Rangers traveling the Galaxy freeing the planets from the Armada's control while trying to find the legendary rangers in order to unlock their special powers and weapon that could destroy the Armada for good (Z wave).

Also there would have been scenes with the old Rangers that still have powers fighting the Armada back on Earth.

I hope that you enjoyed this nonsense and that this wasn't a complete waste of time. Please tell me that anything of what I've written is any good.

Also, another crossover with TMNT and the Beetleborgs wouldn't hurt.

I know that most of these ideas aren't duable because of cost, but toned down might work I hope.

Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predacons Rising (2013) Movie Review

***Start_Of_Log***

Transformers Prime had a pretty good ending with Deadlock, but I guess that the writers wanted to do a better ending so we've got this movie.

And with all the live action movies focusing on the humans this was pretty amazing to see.
There are no Humans in this one and paradoxically I wished there were because the humans from Prime are likeable unlike those from the live action series.  

One more thing before we go into full on spoiler mode the cover is a LIE that fight never happens in the movie.
Also, if you want to see the movie and don't want spoilers all I have to say is that it's better than the live action ones and there's a actually an good plot(s) in it.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014) 1st Impressions After Seeing The Movie

***Start_Of_Log***

More from the category of movie that I've seen a couple of months ago, but only now I'm commenting them.

Sorry I kinda forgot that I still have to do posts and this week when by so fast.

Edge of Tomorrow is your basic aliens attack movie and humanity needs to defend themselves from the aliens.

So far I name lots of movies like this, but wait, there's a twist the main protagonist can time travel sort of.

The main guy Cage played by Tom Cruise can time travel by resetting the day when he dies.

And this is somewhat original the whole time loop scenario is often used in fiction the best example that come to my mind is Stargate SG-1's Window of Opportunity and of course Groundhog Day.

The POWER isn't explained very well in the movie when get the basics of it but not the rest.

Like for instance, when he dies, he resets the day, which means he goes back in time 24 hours so if he dies earlier in the day will he go back further in time?

Also, he got this power by killing an Alpha Mimic and bathing in his blood (not in the way you think).

Here's another problem, what if there are more of these 'Alpha' are the other ones aware that the day has rested or do they continue on their normal path.

The Mimics are of course the bad guys of the movie (Duh).

And they are basically like the insects from Starship Troopers loots of drones and one central mind, oh and they are made out of metal some reason.
 
In order to combat the Mimics the military develops Battle suits which are in facts powered exoskeletons witch look awesome and yeah they aren't mechs.

Like the aspect of them like they were made in a hurry and aren't fully developed.
Also for those of you who are curios they do exist in real life.

In the end all I have to say is that the movie is pretty awesome yeah the time travel method is a bit flawed but they have fun with the concept.

At times it feels like a video game, oh you fail the objective better restart. 
 
I can tell that this movie is fun and kinda funny and start at times, but I can't tell if this it respects the source material.

Edge of Tomorrow was adapted from the novel All You Need Is Kill written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

Wow, I kinda get why they changed the title All You Need Is Kill sound hard to market.

Also the novel was adapted into a manga and there's also GN (Graphic novel) by Viz that adapts the novel.

Godzilla Rulers of Earth 01-02 (2013) Comic Review

***Start_Of_Log***




In 2011 IDW started publishing Godzilla comics the new Godzilla movie might have brought mass interest back toward the giant radioactive king of the monsters, but these comics payed tribute to everything Godzilla related.

There are 2 reason for reviewing this comic:
  •    The treatment of Zilla who had been made fun by the hardcore Godzilla fans and his last appearance in Final Wars was disappointing(yeah the movie is bad but the cartoon is awesome more on this later).  
  • The second reason is quite simple I need to do something special with the new movie on the horizon.
Now let's move on to cover analysis.

The 1st cover is pretty awesome, but some of the monsters on the cover aren't in this issue or if they are they 1 panel cameo.
Maybe this cover is supposed to be used for the collection edition showcasing all the monsters.

The second issue cover is also great it show the monsters Zilla and Godzilla ready to fight and they are beautifully drawn and they appear to be sitting on equal ground.

Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ep02 Earth Fights Back Review

***Start_Of_Log**
The problems continue with Power Rangers Super Megaforce.But 1st a short recap from the last episode the rangers got new suits with no explanation for the pirate themed suit or zords the show ignored the continuity of the series by "forgetting" the big invasions that happened before especially Countdown to Destruction.And to make matters worse...well take a look at the intro.

Power Rangers Super Megaforce Intro by thexdatabase
They keep saying that a full scale invasion of Earth didn't happen before which pisses me off to no end because it was done better In Space (the season not literally in space).The show is so far like an open wound, and that segment is like salt so every time I watch the show is like putting salt on a opened wound.Another problem that I saw in the intro is one regarding my favorite ranger the Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
That silver stripe on the helmet was 1st seen in Dino Thunder in the episode Fighting Spirit in which Tommy was in a coma so it made sense he might have suffered brain damaged and imagined the silver stripe on the helmet. 

Now this wouldn't have bothered me too much if a new character would have found the Dragon morpher that Tommy's clone took with him in the past.This new character would have repaired the morpher and joined a team of different rangers like an older version Justin the Blue Turbo Ranger ,some Lightspeed Rangers plus the Silver Guardians and the 2 Red Rangers from Time Force and some other rangers that have been seen active in some team-up episodes like Adam Park the Black MMPR oh and their headquarters should be the Aquabase 2 from Lightspeed.

Okay that's enough fanfiction for now let's move on to the episode at hand.
Also, their zords would have combined;) (that's Dragonzord Q-Rex,Titanus and Artillatron).

Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ep01 Super Megaforce Review

***Start_Of_Log**
Here we go Super Megaforce episode 1.Like I said before Gokaiger is a hard adaptation to do,yes it does have some footage that they could use but it also has many, many  scenes that they couldn't use because set team member was part of an unadapted Sentai team.   
Because of this I think that they decided to combine to 2 series into Super Megaforce.
Apparently they decided to use the Dairanger footage because...well they have so little footage so yeah.For those of you who don't know Saban used the Zords from Dairanger in the second season of MMPR you know the Thunderzords also they used the White Ranger costume from that series.It's funny how things that return and bite you in the ass later isn't that right Saban.Technically they could be considered 2 series but they have the same cast so no.
This worked in MMPR because nobody saw Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger when it aired in Japan so you couldn't compare the 2 series but now with the Internet we can compare the 2 series.I saw Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger when it 1st aired sure I didn't watch it all the time because it featured teams that I wasn't familiar with it, but I did watch it when some familiar faces or should I say masks popped up.

So yeah, I will be comparing Super Megaforce with Gokaiger in this review , you've been warned.

Even back then I though to myself "god damn this is going be hard to adapt imagine how much no Sentai footage that they will have to make sure".
To prove how much I knew that they will screw this up they used the giant battle from Gokaiger in a dream scene a f***ing dream scene
What you don't believe me here have a look.
So yeah well done you manage to piss me off in the very 1st scene of the episode well done.Also, what should I take from this ? That the giant battle with all the Rangers is just a dream that we won't see ? That's the metaphor with that scene.

Okay 1 more rant then I move on to the episode at hand.

From what I've read Saban will be skipping over Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters in order to adapt Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger in Power Rangers Dino Charge.
I think that Saban is lead by monkeys at this point.
I mean come on jumping over Go-Busters the series that has the best mechs fights ever (from what I've heard)
and you are skipping it ? Why ? Are you stupid ? At least the name sounds better than Super Megaforce so that's one positive thing that I can say.
Sorry I didn't mean to go on that bigger of a tangent, but this series has really pissed me off so without further ado let's move on to the episode at hand.BTW the intro is the same to Megaforce it's not like this season is something special that requires a little bit of effort.
