It Did Not Need To Happen
27 April 2024
I understand that Disney had to go aware after the Black Lives Matter movement rose up again, but they did not have to bring back Proud Family. I get that the show focused on racial matters, but this show goes overboard with the idea and it falls flat on its face.

While the show keeps the pros, the cons outweigh them very hard! The characters show more of their bad choices, the plots are heavily outdated, and do not get me started on the one that got controversy on social media!

Like I said, I understand that Disney wanted to atone for their insensitive moments in old cartoons, but Louder And Prouder just was not the way. I would rather take on Primos. Bring it on Tater!

The Lego Movie 2 Videogame (2019 Video Game)
1/10
Put That Deep In The Bin Of Storajj And Never Let It Out!
7 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I like The Lego Movie 2 The Second Part more than the next guy, but this game being awful is a fact I can agree with him on! Lego is a business that makes games that are as easy as Kirby and other story driven games which at least have charm. This game, on the other hand, is very soulless!

Every part of the game is wrong! Wyldstyle not being kidnapped so that she could narrate a good story that is ruined by her reading the script, meaning that the ending feels like it was pulled outta her leg holes! The characters are also lacking what made them special to begin with! Nobody's special in this game! Not a soul!

So if you wanna have a good time, just watch the movie. And if you meet The Our-Mom-Maggedon, tell her not to fish this game out of The Bin Of Storajj and that Finn can make better games than this brown brick.

The Best Sonic Fan Film Yet!
11 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I expected people to make fan films on Garry's Mod and Source Film Maker, but this fan film is so much like the Sonic movies that it should be considered canon! Every piece of Sonic lore is perfectly stuck into proper spots, a great focus on the continuity, and great acting! Even Mike Pollock got to be in the fan film which is exquisite because he's such a generous man in his career!

One deviation of the film that I enjoyed was that Shadow was just like Sonic in his early days, truly showing his loyalty to Gerald and Maria. It really makes the raid by G. U. N a lot more tragic and more tearjerking. And for those who played the Shadow spin off game from 2005, Black Doom also comes to the fray in the post credits.

Project Shadow is an amazing fan film for Sonic fans of all ages and should satisfy them while waiting for Sonic Movie 3!

The Cartoon That Finally Steamed On!
18 November 2023
I loved trains as a child and seeing train cartoons were a blast, to me at least. After 15 years of hard work, this cartoon came along and not only brought back childhood memories of mine, but it also restores the magic of cartoons of the second half of the 1940s and the 1950s.

Every outline of characters man and locomotive alike are perfectly placed, the music is pleasant to listen to at work, and there are plenty of hidden references from media like the 1991 Little Engine That Could film, Dumbo, and most of all: The Brave Engineer.

Andrew Chesworth's greatest treasure has finally come to be. So if you like his work at Disney, you'll love this little cartoon until the scrapper's torch calls your name!

It's Alright, But Nothing Special.
27 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I am not mad about All Engines Go getting a special as much as the other users had, because this special plays it safe despite rehashing The Great Race from five years prior.

Yes the story is predictable, but the characters make up for it. Most especially Gordon who is retired from express trains and high speed contests like his Railway Series incarnation. I'm also happy that Hiro is back because of nostalgia from Hero Of The Rails.

And while I'm happy for Thomas being the first steam engine to win a locomotive racing event since the 60s, it's quite ironic that he made the final tight corners while his basis, the LBSCR E2s, could not because of their long wheelbase.

This movie is not special, but it's harmless towards your kids.

Mighty No. 9's Rehash And Redemption
31 July 2023
After the whole Kickstarter fiasco, Inti Creates, now the current owners of Mighty No. 9, quickly redeemed and remade Mighty No. 9 with this masterpiece of a Mega Man-like game!

Everything about this game is an improved version of the original game! The levels are better designed mostly, the Mighty Numbers are more engaging to battle, and best of all: STAT CUSTOMIZATION!!!

That's right! You can customize the stats of the character you play as! Getting all the parts necessary for being the mightiest robot or adept is so satisfying!

So what are you waiting for? Get the game that patched up a failed Kickstarter and grind for SP Points to be considered... MIGHTY!!!

The Best Filler Episode Of DragonBall Z!
6 January 2023
Filler in Anime isn't usually any viewer's cup of tea. However, this episode of DragonBall Z is the show's filler at it's best!

Terror On Arlia did a great job on establishing Vegeta and Nappa as characters and big threats, rather than being pulled out of the Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain Bucket.

And speaking of Saturday morning cartoon villains, the evil king of the planet was a good villain that shown how screwed he is against the powerful Saiyans, no matter how much of his men were obliterated!

And despite the happy ending of the Arlian couple being back together, Vegeta decides to blow up the planet he ironically saved while saying that being a hero is highly overrated. That last one would come back to bite him.

Despite being filler, Vegeta and Nappa's early debut deserves a watch, if you like an anime episode that stars side characters.

Nicktoons Racing (2000 Video Game)
6/10
Good, But Rusty At Some Places
22 December 2022
The very first Nickelodeon crossover racing game and it's a gem, but it doesn't have much value in it. As it has much age that has began to show.

The character roster is great with 13 characters from eight shows, which speeds past Nickelodeon Kart Racers 1's roster of 12 characters and 4 shows.

The tracks are good in terms of theming, with Pickles Parkway being based on The Rugrats Movie and Bikini Bottom Blowout having the best music in the game.

However, the design of the tracks and the controls are where the game shows it's aging. Some tracks have unnecessary stuff making them form over function at some points and the controls can be stiff.

The boost start is extremely rare and the A. I. can be a bit annoying.

NickToons Racing is a hidden gem, but it's value is down thanks to some rust. There are better games out there like Crash Team Racing.

OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes (2018 Video Game)
5/10
Tons Of Missed Opportunities Equals Disappointment
22 December 2022
I love the OK K. O show, but the game however should be blasted by the Disappointment Cannon and rebuilt from the ground up, because it has so little content and so much missed potential to be a great licensed video game.

You can't play the main game without a POW Card, which I wish you could do to feel more like a pro. I don't wanna obey Crinkly Wrinkly, but the game forces me to. TKO also had a great concept of splitting from K. O, which could've resulted in a multiplayer campaign.

And there's no health items. All you get are POWIE ZOWIES that only showcase what the characters do in battle. And they are NOTHING compared to TKO's power, which should've also been your super form!

There are tons more I could list, but the review has met it's limit.

Overall, Let's Play Heroes is unfinished as the Victor And Valentino cliffhanger. If you want a game that feels more complete, then go get indie games like Shovel Knight and the Spark The Electric Jester games.

Rugrats (2021– )
6/10
A Bit More Tolerable Reboot
16 December 2022
Nickelodeon's first smash hit from the 90's has come back to deliver a reboot. It's trailer wasn't half bad and the 3D animation is actually alright.

The changes though can take some time to get used to. Stu is now a gamer, Phil And Lil's mom is LGBT, and Grandpa Lou is just chill, but sadly lost his sassy personality. Susie has the most bizarre with her being around the same age as the original gang instead of being a bit older than them. The latter role went to Kimi. And no Dil Pickles? Bubble Bass is really not gonna like that!

On the bright side, the babies are still likable, Angelica's character is still intact, and the music is a nice replica of the original soundtrack of the show.

The Rugrats reboot is an alright show. At least it's more tolerable than Kamp Koral's negative response.

A Big Improvement That's Great From The Start!
16 December 2022
Ever since Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 was announced, I knew this game would improve so much over it's predecessor in every way, shape, and form! It's like the developers watched YouTube videos that criticized their game and decided to make the sequel to improve their flawed product (despite updating games being modern tech).

The roster is bigger and better! It has better characters such as Lincoln Loud, GIR, Korra, and Squidward!

The controls are far better with the power sliding being properly made, the new courses are greater, challenge mode is good, and the customization is better expanded!

Although it's starting to be a simple Mario Kart copy, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 Grand Prix is a great game and an excellent sequel to a mediocre game!

Nickelodeon Kart Racers (2018 Video Game)
5/10
Another Case Of First Game Syndrome
14 December 2022
The first steps are usually the hardest and it's no different in video game series's like Nickelodeon Kart Racers. The first 3D game Bamtang has ever made as their previous works were in 2D.

Onto the review, the game's character roster is disappointingly small at about 12 characters from 4 Nick shows. And the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles take up half of it! And when you get into racing, the CPU players use rubber banding to stay close to you no matter how fast you are!

They even have special items that make getting the gold a living nightmare and both of them are Blue Shell knock-offs! TWO BLUE SHELLS!!! That's abysmal game design!

The paved side is that the race tracks are nice, the customization is decent, and the power sliding ain't half bad. Even some of the items have visual references!

Nickelodeon Kart Racers is overall another case of a common problem called First Game Syndrome. So wait for a sale instead of buying it at full price.

Sonic Frontiers (2022 Video Game)
8/10
A Game Worth Hyping For!
19 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
After all the mumbo jumbo in the meta era, Sonic The Hedgehog has finally got a brand new breath of fresh air upon landing in the Starfall Islands! I say that because the gameplay is a standout from all the boost to win games that has gotten old quickly.

The story is well done, being written by Ian Flynn from the Sonic comics, the new combat move set is satisfying to pull off, and the open zone gameplay gives you freedom to go fast without much hindrance.

I especially love that this game is Super Sonic at his best, considering it's the 30th Anniversary of his debut in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. Those boss fights are lit!

There are flaws like some bugs that got passed security, the final boss is significantly different to the point it confused me, and the opportunity for a new form for Sonic is missed.

Despite these aforementioned nitpicks, Sonic Frontiers is still a must-have for those fans who want a new experience after all the boost games that came and gone.

Better Than The Originals!
2 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
After 4 years of waiting and a delay because of the queen's passing, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared finally airs on TV and the wait is worth it!

This show is much better than the original videos, thanks to longer run times, great characters, and wacky comedy horror! It's also rectifies the big issue the original series had: repetitiveness.

Every episode of the new series feels unique and diverse. From a great work place, to being buried alive in a coffin, watching a family get eaten by Roy, going inside Yellow's mind, a road trip, and a reveal that matches The Lego Movie's twist!

I do hope the series gets a second season, because it's Don't Hug Me I'm Scared at it's peak!

This Movie Surprised The Heck Outta Me!
6 September 2022
At first, I thought this film would be a mediocre bargain film, but after watching the epic climax... My god! Paw Patrol's movie went hard!

By that, I mean it pushed the series it is based on to it's fullest potential of action! The show was limited by kids show tropes, but this movie gave the pups the time to put it all on the line!

The animation is very good and helpful to the action tone, the story is decent except for the mayor's propaganda, and the characters are now action stars!

It's a rarity to find kids show films as good as Paw Patrol The Movie nowadays. Hopefully, this movie sets the foundation for a generation of kids films with the same quality as this one.

Sonic: Lost World (2013 Video Game)
3/10
Lazily Structured Game!
23 July 2022
It's a sad irony that Sonic has gone from Mario's greatest rival to straight up copying him almost completely in this game.

For starters, the game's structure is the same as the New Super Mario Bros games: Grass, Desert, Beach, Snow, Forest, Sky, and Lava... JUST LIKE THE NEW SUPER MARIO BROS GAMES!!!

Second, the characters are immature than in Sonic 06 with Tails getting the most flanderization but recovered later on. Also, Sonic is more childish than his Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog incarnation.

And last but least, the Deadly Six... they are all just dollar store koopalings and are pushovers who are bad at their job! It's no wonder Eggman took over as the final boss, but he and Sonic should've just blown up Planet Hex together! So that nothing of value would be lost!

Thankfully, Sonic Frontiers is striving to get the series back to maturity and the IDW Sonic comics actually made The Deadly Six actually good villains that are real threats!

It just goes to show that copying your competitor instead of being yourself could bring down what makes you special.

Bad, But Important
26 June 2022
Being Disney's first computer animated movie, Chicken Little is a downgrade in quality compared to the films of the 90s.

It's surprisingly mean spirited before the alien plot, treating our hero like a clown until the alien invasion.

Buck Cluck doesn't do much until the climax and is just there for drama. This makes me glad that the aliens left their kid behind so they could teach those citizens a lesson! The ending is good at least because of that.

But despite all that, this film's box office success was a major player in getting Disney to buy Pixar in 2006. This combined with it's home media sales success completed the big buyout! So all that pain Chicken Little went through wasn't for nought after all.

A Not So Good Business Decision
15 May 2022
From what I have gathered, this movie started out as a TV special called Arnold Saves The Neighborhood. But Nickelodeon made it into a full length movie and it was a very bad decision!

Poor animation quality and a bland villain are both proof that Nickelodeon made a mistake so bad that the finale to the Hey Arnold lore, The Jungle Movie, was cancelled for fifteen years! And the female spy doesn't save this film either. However, Arnold and Helga's kiss was satisfying and is the only scene movie pirate people can take and watch over and over again.

Too bad Nickelodeon's history of defying the creator's intentions didn't stop there.

A Piece Of Lost Media Discovered!

No it's not an animation by Xploshi. This is a piece of Hey Arnold's history that was lost for 30 years and now someone found it! Whoever that finder was, he or she has finally completed the lore of the football headed kid!

This Game Killed Jet The Hawk!
12 May 2022
The Kinect was so bad that it caused horrible hoverboard accidents! The death of Jet The Hawk is the saddest tragedy of this mess.

Jet was racing Sonic when another racer distracted by watching Peter Griffin Vs. The Giant Chicken while boarding collided with Jet and the two spiraled out of control and onto the path of Knuckles and Tails who crashed into the two racers and their fuel tanks exploded! This launched Jet and the distracted racer onto oncoming traffic on Interstate 69. Mufasa and Gideon Bot tried to brake, but Jet's speed was too much and there was a giant collision that ended in more flames!

When the race was done, it was already too late to save Jet... he was fried!

R. I. P. Jet The Hawk 2005-2010 Rest In Chili Dogs.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate (2021 Video Game)

Kinda Better Than Forces
12 May 2022
After the disappointment of Sonic Forces, Sonic Colors Ultimate brings fans back to 2010 for a fun ride at the Wisps Amusement Park! Despite the rough pre-release transition, this game is better and more fun to control than Sonic's weight after eating too much chili dogs during control testing in Forces.

The nickname for Eggman called Baldy McNoseHair is so funny that I called the evil doctor just that in my review of Forces! However, he still makes good levels and decent bosses.

The game still has some problems: Sonic's other friends are absent, some of the humor can be immature, and did they really have to put Metal races in them? Why not make a boss fight for Metal instead? That would've been better.

The way to get the Chaos Emeralds is great though. No poorly controlled mini game for me. Just a great 2D mini game.

If you wanna support Sonic's 3D history, buy this game and when you type in your review, tell Sega that you want the old Sonic 3D games on your modern console.

Mighty And Ray: The Best Comeback Since The Twinkies!
12 May 2022
With this Encore DLC, Sonic Mania is now completed! And it's all thanks to the duo that came back from obscurity: Mighty The Armadillo and Ray The Flying Squirrel! These two characters have great abilities that help get passed obstacles of annoyances and make the multiplayer mode feel more complete!

What really got me to complete this masterpiece of a game is a big cheat code that makes you unlock all the extra content! Go check that out on YouTube! I recommend it!

The appearance of Mighty and Ray has been the best comeback mankind ever witnessed since the Twinkies came back in 2013!

One Of The Best Games I've Played On My Nintendo Switch!
12 May 2022
This game is worth the twenty bucks I spent in Target! Everything that made Sonic The Hedgehog an icon is at it's best in terms of classics!

Tight controls, awesome characters, great soundtrack, and a buttload of references as far as the eye can see!

Even the extra content is cool, if you are done with the main game which has little plot.

Blue Spheres, Mean Bean, and Time Attack will test your Sonic skills.

And multiplayer races are at their very best!

They have been since Sonic Adventure 2 Battle!

So if you want your family to get into Sonic, then get this game! It will be better than the boring first person shooter genre!

Sonic Needs To Lay Off The Chili Dogs
12 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
In terms of gameplay and story, Sonic Forces is a nice experience for Sonic players old and new. The custom character was the best part about this game and the concept of Infinite was awesome.

However, most of these aforementioned details aren't executed properly! The story is cheesy, Sonic's friends are sidelined, Infinite's full potential wasn't unleashed, and worst of all, the controls aren't tight. The two Sonics and custom hero control like they had too much chili dogs and are heavy to start and stop, thus putting the player at risk in tough stages! It also doesn't help that Super Sonic is free DLC. Even that can't dissolve the fat within the heroes.

Thankfully, the flaws end when you finally defeat Baldy McNoseHair and Classic Sonic goes back to his home dimension from Sonic Mania.

After all that, I don't recommend playing the post game side missions unless you want to get every last collectible this game has.

I hope that Sonic Frontiers has the tight controls of Super Mario Odyssey, because The Blue Blur's Chili Dog addiction needs to be put on hiatus.

It's Okay
10 May 2022
Patrick Star was always there for his pal SpongeBob since day one. But did he really have to torch passed onto him like that? This show is pretty wacky and it can get funny, but only sometimes.

There's no sense of continuity from the pre movie days and Patrick has a different family he gets into randomness with. Examples include getting an urchin stabbed on your head as your alarm clock and babysitting your idols as babies.

Despite all that, Patrick's show is not that bad. It's a nice distraction for your kids while you peacefully cook dinner, take a nap in the summer sun, and other adult hobbies.
