Spoiler Free Review: Pixar’s SOUL
When the aspiring musician Joe ends up in trouble, he finds himself becoming a mentor in something he least expected. When I started my viewing of Pixar Animation Studio’s latest movie, a feeling of nervousness started to creep up. Everyone and their grandmother hailed this movie as Pixar’s next cinematic masterpiece. And as the credits started to roll, the shoulder started to ease up. While I might not find the movie to be the animated answer to Citizen Kane, to call Pixar’s Soul deserving of a place in the hall of fame is an understatement. One of the factors that makes Soul such a phenomenal experience is that they dare…

5 Characters We Want to See in SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Sequel
2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a massive success, earning universal acclaim and taking home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Since then, Sony has wasted no time in confirming plans for more movies. The sequel is set to hit theaters on October 7th, 2022, while a female-centric spinoff (starring Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman and Silk) is in the works. These films will continue to expand the Spider-Verse with new characters. For example, the sequel is expected to feature the Spider-Man from the 1970s Japanese show. But with all the Spiders found in comics and other adaptations, the possibilities are endless. After all, anyone can wear the mask. Below, we list five…

Culminating a seven-year, 15-film animated journey that began with the release of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox in 2013, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War finds Earth decimated after intergalactic tyrant Darkseid has devastated the Justice League in a poorly executed war by the DC Super Heroes.

Yes, Batman Kills Sometimes – But Should He?
So, recently my good friend Paul wrote a feature on why it’s okay for Batman to kill. It’s a great piece and shows both sides of the argument. However, I think we can go just a little bit deeper. Yes, Batman has killed villains and will, without a doubt, do it again soon, but should he? Finding The Bat’s Identity Batman has had a long 80-year comic book run and plenty of different adaptations by several writers. We should go back to the source. As Paul mentioned in the previous post, Batman killed in his first few appearances. The character was still new and was staying true to that pulp/gritty…

Yes, Batman Kills Sometimes – And That’s OK
It’s one of the most hotly debated issues in comic book history. It has broken the Internet, fractured friendships, and affected how people view fictional characters. I am, of course, talking about the discussions regarding Batman‘s “no-kill rule.” On the one hand, we have people who believe Batman shouldn’t kill in any situation, period. On the other hand, we have people who want Batman to kill his enemies. Both are valid viewpoints, but are either of them factual? Batman is a character who needs no introduction. He has existed in comics for over 80 years, and he has been adapted in countless films and television shows. This has led to…

Why The Lion King Sucks
The Lion King (1994) is a cinematic masterpiece. It created a world we all fell in love with, featuring iconic characters and crafted a majestic story that still hits you even if you’ve seen it 100 times. It accomplished all of this with a runtime clocking in under 90 minutes. Not only that, but its theatre show is one of the highest-rated productions on Broadway, making over eight billion dollars over its 20-year run. I can talk about the legacy of The Lion King and how it reshaped both animation and Broadway as we know it, but that’s a story for another time. Instead, we are talking about the most…

Review: Castlevania Season 2
Together with a speaker magician named Sypha Bellnandes, and Dracula’s own son Alucard, Trevor goes back to his former home to prepare the battle against the lord of darkness. When the news dropped that the four-episode long adaptation of one of Konami’s beloved franchises, yours truly got excited like a child on Christmas. For me, the first season was a strong appetizer, that made me wish for more. Months go by, and when the date arrives, you could find me outside the internet cafe, consuming the entire menu. So what did I think of it? Well, in short, I loved it. Trevor Bellmont continues to be the cynical bastard that…
