Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always TV Special Review


There are a great deal a many TV shows that when you watch them as a kid they just stick with you and because of that they manage to break into the mainstream. Well that was the case with the first season of Power Rangers as back when it was first released back the nineties you really couldn't escape it and because of that love and passion for the franchise the franchise itself has been going for over thirty years spanning multiple seasons of a TV show three movies , countless video games , a live show and countless comic books and that's not to mention all of the toys that have been released for each season of the show well then the time to came to mark the franchises thirtieth it was only about right that the special focus on soe of the team that really started it all and so then join me as I give you my review of the special that sees the classic rangers return to take on a classic villain with the special in question being called simply just "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" enjoy.

The plot of this special when the evil sorcerous Rita Repulsa is accidentally brought back to life by blue ranger Billy and when his team suffers a great tragedy it's up to Bill , Zack , Kat and Rocky to defeat this robo menace before she manages to change history forever. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good as the plot of this special not only recaptures the magic of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but it also updates it in ways that make it feel more adult and have it tackle more serious themes that they couldn't possibly tackle in an episode of the show and while yes the plot of this episode could have been better as they write of Jason , Kim and Tommy in a way that goes against there characters the plot of this special is also one that could have been alot more worse then what the ultimately ended up getting as it would have been super easy to just put in a lackluster plot and sap the Power Rangers name on it and call it a day but they don;t as there quite clearly is alot of love and effort put into this specials plot and that is something that really shine through with the plot of this special also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is Walter Jones as Zack Taylor , David Yost as Billy Cranston and Steve Cardenas as Rocky DeSantos. Also starring in this special is Catherine Sutherland as Katherine "Kat" Hillard-Oliver , Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam Park , Karan Ashley as Aisha Campbell , Charlie Kersh as Minh Kwan , Richard Steven Horvitz as the voice of Alpha 8 and the voice of Alpha 9 , Barbara Goodson as the voice of Robo-Rita Repulsa , Ryan Cooper as the voice of Robo-Minotaur and Daniel Watterson as the voice of Robo-Snizzard.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting hat's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good. Which for Power Rangers is kind of rare thing as this franchise isn't really known for having good acting in it and if you want proof of that just watch any episode of the show or any of the movies which means that it really is surprising when this show does produce some really good acting in it as is the case with this special as even tho some of this specials returning cast embers had given up acting after they left the show they all very easily slip back into there roles as if they had just finished playing them the day before they were all due to start filming this special with the standout performer for this episode being Charlie Kersh as Minh Kwan who is just so good in this special that if she really wanted to she could very easily make it as an actress and it makes you wonder why they didn't have her appear with Billy unmorphed for Cosmic Fury as she really is just so good in this special with the acting that's in this special really being helped by the fact that this special script is just so good that all this specials actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.


For once it's impossible to tell who did the CGI for this special as there are no effects company listed anywhere online or in the specials end credits. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty perso0 ally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad a CGI in Power Rangers has typically been really bad and yet here the effects actually look really good and while yes granted this special effects aren't feature film worthy but they were never meant to be as they were meant to be effects that look like that they would belong in the world of this show and to that degree this special effects worked really well with all of the blasts from Rita looking really good and while it would have been cooler if the blasts from Rita left some impact on the ground just to really sell that these blasts are powerful and could be quite painful where the effects do kind of fail is when it comes to Snizzard who when he's made to grow does become a computer effect and it looks really bad as it because obvious that it's a computer effect and not just a man in a suit which looked really better with the same thing also being true for the Megazord which when it was done in the nineties looked really good because it was a man in a suit and while the effects on the Megazord do look good your never going to do doing something for real. 


While this special isn't the first one to feature the death of a Power Ranger as that honor goes to Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and it's not even the first one to feature the death of a ranger on screen. What sets this apart from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is the fact that the original yellow ranger actress did die in real life with this special killing off her character and that is something that sets this special apart from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy with this whole special pretty much being a feature length tribute to Trini Kwan which is something that does make sense as she was one the original five rangers but at the same time tho it would have been nice to have some of the focus of this special be on the other Rangers as well as this special is meant to celebrate Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a whole and not just the one character however tho it does make sense that the special address her death as it's something that would have been a huge elephant in the room and as a result of that is the fact that not only addressing it within the first few minuets of the special but also making it a huge plot point not only for the special but also for the character of Minh it does seem oddly fitting not only for this franchise but for the character of Trini as well as to many she is the best yellow ranger that the show has ever had and to have the special focus on her death really does set this special apart from an average episode of the show itself.

To give you all an idea of how adult that this special is they use the words kill and revenge quite alot in this special. Which might not seem like a big thing but please do bare in mind that Power Rangers has never ever used the word kill and hasn't really used the word revenge at least not that often and yet there used all of the time in this special and there used in ways that help to advance the character of Minh which is useful thing to do as her whole storyline is all about her trying to get revenge for the death of her mother and her learning that getting revenge won;t bring her mother back and sort of forms of cycle where each person involved is trying to get revenge on the other and on the flip side of that is the fact that we see Robo-Rita who has already gone down the path of revenge that Minh is currently going down and we see how that isn't the best way to go about things and how that can drive you to do things that will hurt you in the longer with Minh only coming round to seeking justice and not revenge after she saves two random innocent people from a putty attack but the message does kind of watered down when we see Billy quite literally stab Robo-Rita in the back with his Power-Lance but even then it could be argues that it was done to stop Robo-Rita from completing her plan and not to get revenge on her for killing off Trini with the very fact that he stabbed someone with his weapon also being something that we would never ever get to see in the actual show itself either.


Speaking of Robo-Rita she was a decent villain as it does make sense that she would be the main villain of this special as she is the villain that you think of when you think of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. With the character even having a good plan in that she wants to open a portal to the day in 1993 when she first got out of her space dumpster in order to give her advice on how to kill the rangers before they were actually rangers with this not only effecting the the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but all rangers teams as well which is a solid enough plan and it does feel in character for her but at the same time tho the character oddly feels incomplete with the rest of her sidekicks there to help her out and to serve of comedy relief as there's no Squat , Baboo , Finster or Goldar in this special when it would have been fun to see those characters back in this special and it would have made sense to have them back as all of those character any worked with Rita in the original show and yet not only are they nowhere to be seen in this special the characters aren't even mentioned in this special as well when the special could have added them in not only to add some comedy into the special but it would also make this reunion special actually feel more like a reunion special but even with out all of those characters Robo-Rita is still a really good villain who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job down and is actually quite smart as she's not just attacking Angel Grove she's attacking every place that has Rangers teams in them and she even has a device that allows her to track a team of rangers when there morphed which is a smart thin to do.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and eight seconds. Which is a really solid for this special to have as this special really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time and even the fact that this special has that long of a running time really does make it feel all the more special as it's quite literally the length of three episodes of the show and yet here it doesn't really feel that long as while yes those of us who grew up with the show are getting all of these cool little throwbacks to either iconic locations or even just by having the use of the iconic theme song at the start of the special it is something that does make this special feel more like a feature film as due to the fact that it's almost one hour long it also mean that the special really does have the time to fully develop it's plot in a way that the an episode of the show really wouldn't have the time to do and it also means that this special can also fully develop it's new characters as well with the best example of this being Minh herself who goes from someone who is rather understandably upset at Billy for the part that he played in the death of her mum to then fully understanding that it wasn't his fault to fully understanding what it truly means to be a Power Ranger and that is something that makes her come across as being amore likable character then what she really could have done and it's also something that the average episode of the show wouldn't be able to do with there shorter running times but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is ana action special that really does mean that I have to actually talk the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty. Which really isn't something that's all that surprising as the show has always had some really good looking action in it with this special not really being an except to that as we get to see noy only some really good an exciting fully morphed fights but there are also some really good unmorphed fights as well which is something that the franchise barely does well but when the show did them well you got something that's truly special and that's we got here as alot of this special felt truly special and while the action in this special did get let down by the CGI megazord and Snizzard fight when the fight is just the rangers taking either the Putty's , Snizzard , Robo-Minotaur or even Robo-Rita for that matter it was usually a very good fight scene with the best example of this being the first fight scene in the special as it gave you everything that you truly want to see in a Power Rangers special as you have not only all six original rangers fighting Rita and the Putty's but you also have the classic Power Rangers theme song playing in the background which just makes the fight all the more better in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this special was a great to celebrate Power Rangers thirtieth anniversary and with the franchise seemingly on hold for the time it does serve as a great way to show us just how good the franchise could be when it's under the right hands and got the right people working on it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very review being the really great the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page really simply really is just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of with really all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Penguin TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review


Believe it or not there was two comic book related TV shows that debuted several weeks ago with each one getting vastly different reactions from the public. The first one was of course Agatha All Along which got some love from some people but mostly got turned apart by people then there was the show that i'm going to be talking to you about today which got the complete opposite reaction as it got alot of love from people and so then join me as I give my SPILLER FILLED review of the show that proved that you can do a Batman live action TV show well with the show in question being called simply just "The Penguin" enjoy.

The plot of this show is not long after the events of The Batman Oswald "Oz" Cobb tries to make a power grab and become the ultimate crime boss in all of Gotham City only to find that his climb to the top might be a lot more harder then what he first thought that it would be. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good as the plot of this show was one that was really handled as it's something that would have been so hard to pull off and yet this show pulls off this kind of plot really well with the show making this plot actually interesting instead of boring and predictable like it so easily could have been with the plot of this show also really being helped by the fact that it is kind of a slow burner as it does take until at the vert least the second the episode of the show for the plot t really get going but that is something that does work well enough to this shows advantage as it does allow the show to then spend some time in setting up it's newer characters wand while yes granted some of it's newer characters do come across as being better then others it's all worth it to see the role that they play in this shows plot with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is this shows executive producer Colin Farrell as Oswald "Oz" Cobb / The Penguin. Also starring in this show is Cristin Milioti as Sofia Gigante , Rhenzy Feliz as Victor "Vic" Aguilar , Deirdre O'Connell as Francis Cobb , Clancy Brown as Salvatore "Sal" Maroni , Carmen Ejogo as Eve Karlo , Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone , Jayme Lawson as Bella Reál , Michael Kelly as Johnny Viti , Theo Rossi as Dr. Julian Rush , Shohreh Aghdashloo as Nadia Maroni , Scott Cohen as Luca Falcone , Con O'Neill as GCPD Chief Mackenzie Bock , Louis Cancelmi as Rex Calabrese , Kenzie Grey as Gia Viti , Craig Walker as Detective Marcus Wise and Mark Strong as Carmine Falcone.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actually featured / presented to us in this show was in all honesty really good. Which is something that is both shocking and yet at the same time not very shocking at all as some of this shows actors are indeed some really good in there own right and such it's only wise to expect some really performance from them but at the same time it's also quite shocking as well as there are some of this shows actors that aren't quite that well known and as such we'd have no idea of what it is to expect from them from an acting point of view and as a result of that is the fact that this shows acting is shocking really good with the true standout performer in this show being both Colin Farrell as Oswald "Oz" Cobb / The Penguin and Cristin Milioti as Sofia Gigante as both actors really give some really good performances in all of the episodes and heck even in episode four of this show "Cent'Anni" Cristin Milioti pretty much carries that entire episode on her back as she's just that good not only in that episode but in all of the shows episodes as well and the same thing is also true for Colin Farrell as well as he really did bring his A game for this show and for this character as a whole with the acting that's in this very show also being helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are just so good that all this shows really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out them naturally which is something that really foes help to raise the overall quality that's in this very show.


For once it's actually hard to say who it is that's doing the CGI for this show as there are no effects companies listed anywhere on the shows IMDB page nor the various end credits. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good as this show uses CGI in the best way possible in that it's only there to either extend the set or to enhance something that was already there on the day of filming and that's really it and while yes this show does also use CGI to recreate things from The Batman that's also a good way to use CGI as there's no way that you can flood an entire street and therefor CGI is the only way to go and yet even with that in mind it is at times also really hard to tell what was done in a computer and what was done practically and while yes this films quality of CGI is overall really high when you do indeed spot some really bad looking effects it is something that really does stand out a mile as it's a bad bad looking effect in a sea of good looking effects but having one or two bad looking effects in a show that's filled to the brim with some really good looking CGI effects really go to show you that this show has some more good looking effects then it does have some really bad looking effects in it.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!



It's very safe to say that the best new character that this show introduced was that of Sofia Gigante as this character is one that's made up of many layers. As on the surface she seems like someone who is a bit of a push over but then the more you get into her backstory the more that we the audience find out that she's perhaps the most dangerous villain that Oz is going to come up against in this show as she shows several times that she's more then willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants and even tho she does care deeply about her own family with her spending the vast majority of the first half of the show trying to get revenge on who she things killed off her brother in episode and yet we see just how badly her family just because of the fact that she's not willing to go into the family busisness right away and it's only when she unknowingly helps a reporter get her father into deep trouble that she then is forced into the family busisness after she spends ten years in prison for a crime that she didn't commit and it's because of that she because a highly dangerous villain with her willing to get revenge on her family by killing off all but one of them as a way to make sure that the kid that she saves doesn't go down the same path but by killing off her family she does set the kid off on the same path as her with this being something that we see her struggle to deal with and it's all of that that makes her the true standout character in this show.

For those that are expecting a cameo from Batman either in the series finale or in any of the shows eight episodes then be prepared to be let down. As not only does the character not even appear either as Batman or as Bruce Wayne for that matter but the character doesn't even get mentioned at all during the shows eight episodes with the only references that we get to the character is a name drop in the eighth episode and the bat-signal appearing at the end of the show and that's really it and while that is something that might put off some people as alot of them will be wondering why Batman isn't trying to stop Oz which is also an issue with the show as a whole when we get to the seventh episode of the show it could also be seen as a good thing as it means that the show has more then enough star power on it's own to not really require the character to show up in order to lend credibility to the show but at the same time tho given how much damage not only Oz himself but also Sofia cause during the events of this show alot of which we even see being reported on the Gotham City News then it really does make you wonder why the character didn't appear in the show or why a reason for him not showing up was ever given on screen as that would then fully explain why we the audience are not going to be seeing the character in this show and yet we get nothing which doesn't work as we the audience know for a fact that he's in Gotham City given that this show takes place two weeks after The Batman and so he would still be in Gotham City when this show is taking place and yet we get no reason as to why the character isn't appearing in this show.


While this show does indeed have Oz be the main character of the show the show doesn't make him out to be the good guy. As we find out in episode 7 that he was the one that killed his brothers something which he lied about several times during the show and all because of the fact that he wanted to spend more time with his mother something which his mother not only knew that he did but actively tried to get him to confess and he didn't then tried to have him killed and yet we also see Oz acting like a true villain all throughout the show as he kills Sofia's brother at the start of the first episode and frequently gets into business with several gangster and double crosses them all for his own gain and all of which almost backfire on him and yet it's because of the fact that he's the bad guy that makes this show interesting as the show actually tries to make him a likable character by showing him caring for ill mother and even grieving her when she has a stroke and enter a vegetative state because of it all of which concludes in an utterly heartbreaking scene when in the final episode he kills of his one true friend Vic for no reason other then he wants no one to try and take him off the top spot and has his girlfriend dress up as his mother and roleplay as her which does go to show you that even tho due to his own actions of him killing this own brothers that his mother never really cared for him that he still cares for her which makes this show come across as being more of a tragedy that it is a drama.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running tie of exactly one hour and seven minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which is kind of the bogstandard running time for this show to have as alot of this shows episodes had a very similar running time with the shortest episode being episode seven which at just over forty six minuets long with each episode having just the right amount there interms of plot to really cover there respective running time and it really does help that all of these episode really do take as full advantage that they really could have done as they fully flesh out not only the character of The Penguin himself but alot of the side characters and the main characters as well and while yes some of the other characters like for example Dr. Julian Rush and Johnny Viti aren't as fleshed out as they really could have been with neither of them really adding much to the overall plot with Johnny Viti really only being there to give Sofia a kind of antagonist for the first half of the show but when he's killed off there's really no one else that can take her down and even her own alley Dr. Julian Rush doesn't get that much development either and he's meant to be a kind of love interest for Sofia and yet if you compare this to Vic who does get fully fleshed out and does get the chance to be a fully formed character despite him filling the exact same role as Dr. Julian Rush as someone for Oz to talk to and have an alley in then it really does make you wonder why the makers of this show didn't give Dr. Julian Rush the time that he really needed to become a more fleshed out character but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a drama that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. As the show really does take the time to really build up all of it's main characters and because of that when something dramatic does happen it not only feels natural but it also feel earned as well and isn't just there because of the fact that the show needs something dramatic here it happens because it's something that the characters would say and do with it actually adding something to the characters or advancing the characters in someway shape or form with the best example of this being the episode three cliff hanger where Oz and Sofia are captured by Maroni's wife and men and yet when Vic crashes Oz's car into them it's Oz that gets in the car and tells him to drive off leaving Sofia alone which is something that works for that character as Oz is only really out for himself and so of course he would leave Sofia alone to die as he sees her as a threat and nothing more then that and the show is filled to the brim with drama that's like that with this show being a really good example of how to do character driven drama and not have it come across as being forced and unneeded in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall while this show is not getting picked up for a season 2 right now despite one having been discussed this story is not over just yet as we have The Batman Part 2 and possibly even The Batman Part 3 but even so this show really doesn't need a second season as its better as being a one and done show and the show works really well because of the fact that it's one and done show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Batman Universe fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official The Batman Universe fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official The Batman Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

WWF Invasion PPV Review


It's been quite a while since I last reviewed anything to do with the world of wrestling and well it was about time that I do something about that. With the WWE having TNA stars appear on weekly WWE TV it only made sense that the main focus of this review be the first and to date only time when two wrestling companies went to war with each other on PPV and so then join me as I review the show that sees Team WCW and Team ECW take on Team WWF with the show in question being called simply just "WWF Invasion" enjoy.

The biggest story both before and coming out of this show is the whole invasion storyline with WCW and ECW invading the WWF. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in al honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt hat the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as while yes the invasion storyline is one that's wildly hated by wrestling fans due to how mismanaged it was interms of this show it is a storyline that is advanced somewhat well as while yes the only big advancement of the story we get is during the shows main event it was still a really shocking thing to see happen and it was something that does add some stakes to the storyline even if it did feel like that they were trying to add star power to a failing storyline when all they add to do was wait for guys like Sting , Goldberg and Kevin Nash to become available as then we could have had a true war with these two companies instead of having various wrestlers switch sides which is something that did dilute the idea of having them switch sides as there was no consequences either side for that happening but it still doesn't change the fact that the plot of this show was advanced in a way that was really shocking with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show was a really impressive looking set even tho it was just basically one big TV screen in the middle flanked by two smaller TV screens on both the left and right hand side of the bigger middle TV screen. However what was something that set this set apart from alot of the others during the this time period was the fact that not only do we have a bunch of pillars holding up all three screen but we also have two separate tunnels one of for each member of either Team WCW and Team ECW and the other one for Team WWF which was something that looked great as it made sense that they the three companies would have separate entry ways as if they didn't then they'd be fighting before they even made there way to the ring where as here it means that both sets of wrestlers get to enter the arena and do there thing and it also makes in the way that WCW and ECW are seen as being the heels in this's storyline and as a result of that is the fact that the feels would of course not go through the same tunnel as the faces as they'd want all of the attention to themselves and that is something that wouldn't be the case if there was only one tunnel and it's something that alot of wrestling companies sadly don't do anymore when it's something that they could do when the storyline permits them to do so as it would make a whole lot of sense and work really well for there shows as well with the set looking really good in this show and working really well for this show as well.

Thankfully there is no dead space when it comes to this shows set with all of this shows set filling up the entire entry way. Which is something that that all sets should do with the only really bug bear with this shows set being that it feels alot like a stereotypical WWF set and doesn't really incorporate elements from either WCW or ECW for that matter which is something that really could have done given the the fact that the poster for this show has both the owners of WCW and WWF matched up together and it's something that wold have gone really well with the PPV's theme as well as this show is all about WCW and ECW invading the WWF and yet none of that reflected in the set for this show which is something that does take away from how good this shows set really could gave been as it could have been alot more better if they did work in elements from all three companies to create one set that represents all three companies instead of creating something that feels like a stereotypical looking WWF PPV set and while yes all of the sets from around this time period are really unique looking sets if the show did have aa set that combined something from all three companies then they could have created something that was rather unique and that had the possibility to look really good as well but on the flip side of that is the fact that it also could have looked really bad as well and as a result of that is the fact that having one good looking set does make sense instead having a set that combines something from all three combines.


While not alot of wrestling love this whole invasion and for good reasons as it was something that was really mismanaged. As WCW was missing alot of it's heavy hitters that could have made the whole thing work alot more then what it does as the likes of Jeff Jarret , Sting , Kevin Nash and more were all waiting got there contracts to end and yet if the WWE had made them a very tempting offer and brought them all in for this storyline that it would have made the whole thing truly feel like a war but as things stand the whole just doesn't work and as a result of that is the fact that the WWE had to keep on having people switch brands more often then not for little to no reason all to try and make The Alliance seem like a bigger threat when having more of there popular stars from WCW would have done that perfectly heck even having Buff Bagwell join the group would have done and this is made even worse by the fact that they DID have Buff Bagwell compete on Raw but then they never brought him back after that when having him appear in this story line would have added some star power to Team WCW as even tho Team ECW had all of their heavy hitters join them early on and remain with them really until the storyline ended at Survivor Series ECW was just not that big of company to begin with therefor it would have fallen to WCW to bring in some of their top talent and really have them use their star power to make this group worth watching to make this storyline alot more interesting then what it really ended up being like. 


For some strange reason the WWF thought that having a pointless match between two referees was not only needed but also PPV worthy. When in actuality it really wasn't as this is a match that would have been better of served if it was on either Raw or Smackdown or on the Sunday Night Heat before this PPV aired and yet the WWF thought that this match was worth putting on PPV when it's not a PPV worthy match this is a match that really shouldn't have been a thing as we don;y need to see how the referees are feeling about this invasion and while yes it does go along way to show us that the invasion isn't just effecting the wrestlers but is infact effecting everyone that still doesn't excuse the fact that this match didn't need to be on the show if they were looking at this match as being a toilet break match then we have to wonder why it was the second match on the card when having be at the vert least the fourth or even fifth match on thew card really would have filled that role more better as nobody would be queuing to use the toilet after the first first match which not only makes this match a pointless match up as well but it also makes it one that's oddly placed in the shows card as well as there are better places where this match could have gone and yet they didn't go with the more obvious places and heck you even could have had this match switch places with the Torrie and Stacy vs Trish and Lita and it still would have made alot of sense from a placement point of view.

What was something that both did and didn't work for this show was the copious amounts of pointless backstage segments. As alot of them just hit home the exact point which is that both of thee companies hate each other and are trying to get there respective wrestlers pumped up for there respective matches and that's really it which does make them seem pointless and aimless as really you only need one or two backstage segments to hit that point home and not have it be quite literally every single backstage segment which just makes them comes across as being really repetitive when you really cold have used some of those backstage to develop some of the characters in this storyline and to further develop the storyline in a way that feels natural and not have Steve Austin big turn at the end of the show come out nowhere as you could have shown him acting odd during the show like he's not willing to talk to people or he says something that hints that he's not on the level instead of having it just happen just for the sake of it but for some reason the WWF was really obsessed with really hitting home that both sides are trying to pump up both of there wrestlers which is something that really didn't need to do as that is something that we the audience would already know is going on anyways and it would have given more of the storylines main characters a chance to get across what it is that there respective personalities are even meant to be in the first place as well instead of just leaving them as personalitiless characters which is something that only serves to harm not only the story line but the character in question as well with this really being something that could have been fixed if this show devoted some of it's backstage segments to developing either it's characters or really the storyline as a whole.


In what is a rather shocking move is the fact that there's only one title match during the whole entire show. With that being the Hardcore Championship which is odd as the shows does have several champions competing on the show and almost all of which could have had some really good championship matches given who they were competing against with a good example of that being Billy Kidman vs X-Pac as both of them are the cruiserweight champion for there respective companies and having them compete in a double title match would noy only have made sense but given how well that they worked together in the match itself it also would have been a really good match but to the shows credit having only the one title match on the card really did make the match stand out and because of that both Rob Van and Jeff Hardy really did go above and beyond what was expected of them to deliver a really good and exciting match something that while it wouldn't have been diluted by having more championship matches if anything it would have made stand out all the more if they were bad matches but it is something that would have made the storyline as a whole all the more impactful even more so if The Alliance won all of those matches as it would then make the WWF seem more like the underdogs in the story and it would make all the more gravitating when they do when the storyline at Survivor Series as well but having the one championship match on the card means that we have get to have one really good championship match instead of having several bad to OK ones.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running tine of exactly two hours and forty minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is both a solid and not a solid running time for this show as the show does have more then alot there interms of plot to really require that amount of running time at the same time tho there are some matches that could have done with being alot shorter then what it was like for example the Hardcore Championship between Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy is a match that didn't need to run well over twelve minuets long as that match could have done it's job in about seven minuets and the same thing also goes for the opening tag team match as well and even the six man tag between Big Show , Albert and Billy Gunn vs Chris Kanyon , Hugh Morrus and Shawn Stasiak is match that could have been moved to Sunday Night Heat as it has no bearing on the main storyline which makes that match feel more like a filler match where s if it was on Sunday Night Heat then it could at the very least have been something that was built up on episodes of that show instead of only being added to the show at the very last minute all of which would have gone quite a long way into making this show alot more shorter and with that shorter running time the show could then have devoted more time to the matches that really needed it like for example Billy Kidman vs X-Pac but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a wrestling show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With there being alot of really good wrestling matches in this show which was something that was to be expected given who is competing in this show but at the same time there was was a few really bad wrestling matches with it being a tie for the worst match on the show as it was between Earl Hebner vs Nick Patrick and Torrie and Stacy vs Trish and Lita but what made the all referees match bad was the fact that ti was two untrained people trying to have a wrestling match where as with the all women's tag team match they at the very least put both Torrie and Stacy in the ring with two people who could wrestle even if Trish still wasn't that good yet at this point in time with the all referee match being something that you could very easily just by making it a tag team match with each referee being paired with someone from there respective roster that could wrestle where as it would be a bit more of a challenge to fix the women's tag team match just because of the fact that the women of WCW weren't rally all that known for being great wrestlers most of the time with the best wrestling match being the ten men tag team match between The Alliance vs Team WWF with that match just being a nonstop thrill ride from start to finish that was a really exciting match to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't a bad show but the same time it wasn't necessarily a good show either with this show being a very middle of the road show that despite advancing the company wide storyline in a great an interesting still good have a much more better show then what it ultimately ended in being as in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good ans as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and s such that really does mean that this show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review


Reboots and sequels are a very common thing with alot of TV shows getting either rebooted or getting sequel shows. Well now Disney have released there latest sequel series with this one being one that takes us back into the Disney Channel Original Series Universe and it's one that alot of people myself included have been dying to watch and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that sees the Russo family return with the show in question being called simply just "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place" enjoy.

The plot of this show is Justin Russo has given up magic after getting fired from his job at Wiztech but all of that changes when his sister introduces him to a young wizard who has to defend the world from an unknown threat. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as it did a good job of getting us up to date with the characters that we know and love from the original show whilst at the same time giving us a good and solid storyline as well but at the same time tho this plot doesn't really feel like it belongs in the Wizards franchise and if anything it feels like something that would have been included in future episodes of Best Friends Whenever which is something that does make sense since this show was also developed by the creators of Best Friends Whenever Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas and while yes the original show did also have plots where the characters had to save the world there it was done after we've gotten to know all of the characters and thus it made sense to do plots like that here it happens in episode one which is something that doesn't work either from a character or a plot point of view as we haven't had alot of time to really get to know all of these characters yet with the plot as a whole being really decent plot but it's also one that could have been alot more better then what it actually was with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is this show executive producer David Henrie as Justin Russo and Janice LeAnn Brown as Billie. Also starring in this show is Alkaio Thiele as Roman Russo , Max Matenko as Milo Russo , Taylor Cora as Winter , Mimi Gianopulos as Giada Russo , this shows executive producer Selena Gomez as Alex Russo , voice acting legend Dee Bradley Baker as the voice of Floogie and Phantomus , Patrick Bristow as Wizardpedia , Oscar Montoya as Marcus , John DiMaggio as the voice of Frog , Darien Sills-Evans as Superintendent Kowalski , Kirsten Vangness as Bigelow Figglehorn , JJ Nolan as Morphia Murkshadow , Eleanor Sweeney as Bella Bianchi and Kristen Hensley as Anita Bianchi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be. As nobody expects there to be good acting from a Disney Channel show as the acting in those shows is usually very over the top and very campy at best and yet in this show all of the actors manage to turn in a really good performance which is something that really isn't all that new as both David Henrie and Selena Gomez are reprising their roles from the original show and would there for know how best to perform there respective characters and how there respective characters would act in any given situation and even the shows new actors whilst they don't even come close to holding a candle when it comes to acting against the original actors they do also manage to turn in a really good performance in their own right as well with some of them being so good that they could have bright futures in acting should they of course decide to continue acting that is with the acting that's in this show not really being helped by the fact that the script for this show is just so bad as it gives none of this show actors absolutely nothing to work with when it comes to what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be which is something that really does effect the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.


Doing the CGI for the show is the legends and the really greats that are really currently over at Radiant Sun. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as the original show itself didn't really have that good CGI in it especially in it's first season and yet here the effects look like they belong in the reunion special that they did for the original show as there just that good which is something that does both work and against the show it works for the show in the way that it does show that Disney really is putting in alot of money into the making of this show but at the same time tho those cheesy looking effects also added alot of charm to the show as well which is something that the effects in this show are lacking as they all long a little bit to good when it would have been more in keeping with the show if they made the effects still look good but also look like that they belong in the world of the original show as instead the effects in this show don't feel like that they belong in the world of either this show or the original show as that's just hoe good the shows CGI effects really are but having a show with good effects really does show that Disney Channel shows really could have had some really good looking effects in them if Disney only bothered to give them all a decent budget which would in turn result in a decent effects budget as well.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!



There was once actors that I left of this review and that's the fact we also have David DeLuise as Jerry Russo. With the character now a volunteer at a spell help line which is an interesting way to go with the character but at the same time it's also not really something that makes sense for this character as the character in the original show was never someone who would do that sort of thing has had his own busisness to run but given how the original series ended it does at the very least make sense that he would now do something to take up all of his free time and it is something that does allow the character to come back in future episodes and it was sweet seeing him interact with with David Henrie but given how badly he talked about Disney on the official Wizards Of Waverly Pod podcast it does make you wonder he chose to work for them again even if it was just a one time only thing but given how strong the bond was between all of the original shows main actors he might have chosen to work on this show as a way to reconnect with some of the original actors that perhaps he hasn't seen in a while with his appearance in this show also serving as a passing the torch moment as he and Justin have a heart to heart on how best to teach Billie which was a really sweet moment between these two characters that we the audience had grown to like.

To put it bluntly Disney have just screwed over Disney Channel with how there choosing to release this show. As even tho the first two episodes of the show did indeed air on Disney Channel and the rest of the series will indeed be airing on Disney Channel they've also dropped the first NINE episodes of the show on Disney+ which now means that us the audience have no reason to tune into Disney Channel when they can just watch them all on Disney+ if anything this is a show that should have aired all of it's episodes on Disney Channel first before airing them on Disney+ as that would not only give Disney Channel the much more needed boost that it needs it would also make alot of sense as the original show was a staple of the Disney Channel when it first being aired and yet now there's now reason to watch the following seven episodes on Disney Channel which is something that would only hurt the Disney Chanel in the long run and it's something that's a huge issue with Disney Branded Television as having shows airing on both Disney+ and the Disney Channel Channel at the exact same time is always going to harm one and give a boost to the other when Disney+ doesn't need a boost as it already has a bunch of content where as Disney Channel does need a boost as not alot of people are going to be watching since we now have Disney+ with all of the Disney content on it where as the Disney Channel only has the programming and original movies and that's really it.


Just based off of these first nine episodes of the show this show does have all of the hallmarks of a show that was created by Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas. As not only does the show feature a more serialised form of storytelling that has a strong sense of continuity but the show also has really dramatic in the first three episodes of the show which is something that really doesn't work as we haven't had enough tine to to fully form a connection with these new characters at this point in time and while having more dramatic moments in this show can and does work later on in the series it only works then because of the chance that we've had a more time to get to know these characters and so those more dramatic moments can have a bigger impact and heck just like with Best Friends Whenever episode nine of this show also ends on cliffhanger which is a staple of Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas and it's something that really doesn't work as it's to early on in the shows history to be doing what is basically a multipart story when something like that would be better off for either the series finale or for the end of the show itself as then it would be epic enough to be justified and yet doing it here only serves to cheapen the effect as we know that the characters are going to be OK and that the status quo of the show will be put back to normal by the end of the episode and yet if the show did it's first two parter as a series finale or even a show final then the shows status quo can then be changed thus justifying doing a two parter in the first place.

Now then his show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets per episode. With the longest episode of these first nine episodes being episode one which clocks in at around twenty six minuets and fifty nine seconds which is a solid running time for that episode as the episode does have alot of things to set up and still tell a good story but at the same time it is weird with that one episode being longer then all of the rest of the first nine episodes which have a more bogstanderd running time for TV comedies with all of the episodes having just the right amount of plots for there respective running times but at the same time tho there really was no need for all of the other episodes to have a shorter running time then the first episode when the show would have had a more consistent running time and with the show current running times per episode the show really does take the time to develop it's characters alot better then what you'd really expect from the first season of a new show with all of the characters revealing that there's much more to them then meets the eye but at the same time the characters are still very badly written with alot of the characters not really getting the chance to fully develop there characters personalities with Justin himself what could be seen as a complete character change as he went from being a very smart and confident person to being someone who is questioning everything that he does and acting like the stereotypical Disney Channel dad something that could have been fixed if the episodes did have a slightly longer running time as that would have allowed all of the characters to get all of there personalities across alot better then what they do in the final cut of the show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With alot of the comedy in these first nine episodes being funny jokes with alot of them being in line with what you'd expect from the first three season of the original show with them having some pun names in spells and the characters themselves having some really good one liners with the most funniest character in these first nine episodes being none other then Billie herself as she's a street smart cocky character who is pretty much exactly like Alex was in the original show only now she knows that she's street smart and cocky and still acts that way just because she wants to do so and while yes Justin does still get alot of funny moments in these first nine episodes since they really didn't do his character any kind of justice whatsoever alot of his funny moments come across as feeling forced and not something that the actual character would say or do which is a shame because alot of his jokes are acted really well with David Henrie having alot of really great facial expressions and David DeLuise is still of top form with him being just as likable and lovable as he was in the original show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall this isn't a bad sequel series but at the sae time it's not a particularly good one either with it having all of the trade marks of a bad sequel show in that it gets the returning characters mostly wrong and shifts them aside for the newer characters but if this is anything like Best Friends Whenever and Raven's Home both of which Jed Elinoff & Scott Thomas worked on then expect this show to get cancelled after the second series or expect them to be replaced and see an improvement in the show after it's second series because as things stand this is nothing more then an OK show at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I perso0nally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Wizards Of Waverly Place fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

LEGO Marvel Avengers: Mission Demolition Special SPOILER FILLED Special Review


While Marvel has had a quite the solid week with the new Venom movie coming out and rather rightfully taking up alot of media and fan attention. It would be fully understandable if alot of you either A didn't know about this special in the first place or B just straight up forgot about well the house of ideas did also release a brand new Lego special about a week or so ago and well this was the first time since then that i've been able to cover it and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special that sees two nineties kids TV stars team up for the first time ever with the special un question being called simply just "LEGO Marvel Avengers: Mission Demolition" enjoy.

The plot of this special is when a worker for the group Damage Control accidently helps an evil alien unleash a device that jails all of the Avengers it's up to him and the head of Vision to find away to break The Avengers out and stop the alien from taking over the world before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad and was alot better then what it really had any right to he but at the same time tho the plot of the previous special Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red was the much more better plot with the plot of this special feeling more like the plot that you'd see in a bad Lego DC movie or even a good Marvel animated movie and not the kind of plot that really sells you on these characters as this specials plot does feel like something that a kid would come up with and not in the fun way like in The Lego Movie rather it's in the wrong with this specials plot just being weak for alot of the time but when the special does try to do something interesting with it's plot it is something that works really well with the plot of this plot of this special also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is Will Friedle as Dennis / Demolition Man , Kevin Smith as Terry / Terrax and David Kaye as Vision and Hot Dog Suit Vendor. Also starring in this special is John Stamos as Tony Stark / Iron Man , Roger Craig Smith as Steve Rogers / Captain America , Frank Castle / Punisher and Ben Grimm / Thing , Ogie Banks as Sam Wilson / Captain America , Laura Bailey as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow and Statue Of Liberty , Fred Tatasciore as Bruce Banner / Hulk , Devil Dinosaur and Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider , Travis Willingham as Thor , James C. Mathis as T'Challa / Black Panther and Candy Suit Vendor , Tiffany Thiessen as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk , Susie Essman as Gloria , Trevor Devall as Rocket Raccoon Ulysses Klaue / Klaw and Popcorn Suit Vendor , Scott Porter as Bobby Drake / Iceman and Marc Spector / Moon Knight , Julie Nathanson as Mary MacPherran / Titania and Alison Blaire / Dazzler , Diamond White as Lunella Lafayette / Moon Girl , Lily Sanfelippo as Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider , Steve Blum as James Howlett / Wolverine Remy LeBeau / Gambit and Peter Petruski / Trapster , Vanessa Marshall as Susan Storm / Invisible Woman and The Computer Voice , Jason Mantzoukas as Wade Wilson / Deadpool , Benjamin Brady as Excited Fan , Tom Brady as Himself and Kevin Michael Richardson as Lenny Ballinger.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty no that bad for the most part. As there some decent performances in this special but at the same time tho it is very distracting hearing John Stamos as Tony Stark as you don't hear the character all you hear is John Stamos which makes you wonder why they recast Mick Wingert who not only turned in good performances as the cast but was the pitch perfect voice for the character as well and it's like for alot of the characters in this special with the actors turning in some really good performances but alot of the characters also being very miscast like Kevin Smith as Terry / Terrax with Kevin Smith having such a very recognisable voice that you really don't see the character anymore you just hear Kevin Smith trying to put on a performance with his performance perhaps being the worst one which is of no fault of his as he's not a trained actor he's a director which really makes you wonder why Disney and Marvel cast him in this special in the first place with the acting that's in this very special not really being helped by thew fact that this special script is just so bad as it gives none of this specials absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.


Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought /felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good with the special really embracing the fact that everything is made out of lego with even the flames in the specials various explosions being made up of lego pieces which was some nice attention ton detail but at the same time tho this specials just lacks that extra something that was present in the theatrically released Lego movies as while yes the animation that's in this special is indeed really good you can still tell that it was made in a computer and thus it looses something as opposed to The Lego Movie for example where it genuinely looked like a kid was moving those lego pieces around which added to the overall charm of the animation in that film and if anything that is something that really should have bee presented in this special as after all these lego specials are made to sell the lego toy sets and thus having the animation reflect that would make a whole lot of sense but this films animation is also really good as it does give the characters some really nice fluid movements and some very highly detailed backgrounds to them as well.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!



This film does feature alot of nods to other Marvel characters with alot of them having cameos in the special. With the likes of Daredevil and The Beast for example making silent appearances in this special but what had to be the oddest call back was the fact that Black Panther straight quotes Storm's toad line from X-Men in the special and it doesn't make any sense as in the film Storm is saying that line to Toad so there is some connection there but in the special Black Panther is saying it to Terrax who isn't a Toad like creature nor does he look anything like Toad and as a result of that is the fact that the line comes across as being a fanservice moment for the sake of being a fanservice moment where as all f the other fanservice moment at least added something to the special like the fact that all of the heroes live in New York and Dennis literally runs into several of them on his way home from work which might seem like a pointless moment but at the same time it also sets up that there are several heroes just in New York alone and so there is some relevance to that sequence where as with the Toad X-Men line reference there's really no point to that line of dialog being there with the line itself oddly enough being even more unfunny in this special then what it was in the original X-Men film as in the very least in the original X-Men Storm is at the very least saying it to Toad where as here that really just isn't the case at all.

As a comedy this special isn't all that good as alot of this films jokes are very kid friendly and are the kinds of jokes that only really little kids will like. Which is something that does make alot of sense as not only is Lego a very kid friendly brand but the special itself is also made for little kids and with little kids in mind but at the same time tho you still need to have some actually funny jokes in this special and while Deadpool does indeed get a really credits joke at the end of the special and She-Hulks running joke about her being the only one allowed to break the fourth wall before quite literally running into a fourth wall is a really funny joke but at the same time tho little kids aren't going to get that joke as alot of them won't even understand the concept behind the fourth wall in the first place and even the specials main character of Dennis does get a decent running joke with his neighbour always saying hateful things towards only for her to turn around and say that she's always supported him when he does join The Avengers is a slightly funny joke in this special and alot of the special jokes are like as while there are some really decent jokes in this special the special is made up of alot more bad and painfully jokes then it does have good jokes and while yes little kids might find all of this special jokes to be really funny alot of the adults watching this special or anyone who's over the age of ten won't find all of this specials jokes to be really funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


The specials villain Terrax isn't that bad for this kind of special as for a kid friendly special he is a passable villain. However at the same time tho he isn't the strongest villain that they could have used like for example the special straight up hints at Galactus with the machine that Terrax uses having lights that don't work so the only working lights spell out the word Galactus and all that does is make you wonder why he wasn't used as a the specials main villain as Terrax has nothing all that interesting about him outside of the fact that he's voiced by Kevin Smith and while yes it would have been very hard for them to do Galactus in a way that's suitable for young kids it still doesn't change thew fact that he would have been a much more better villain as Terrax doesn't even have that much of an end goal outside of the fact that he wants to get rid of all of the heroes in New York and yet they never really fully explain why he wants to do that and as a result of that is the fact that it just comes across as him wanting to do these evil things just because he can do and not because of the fact that it helps him achieve any kind of goal all of which does go along way to make him a less interesting villain which is a shame as he does have a really cool design to him and it would be great to see a character with this design be incorporated into the main Marvel canon and not just be a character that was made for this special.

Now the this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty minuets and eleven seconds. Which is a solid running time for this special to have as this special really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time as the plot of this special doesn't really require a longer running time in order to fully tell it's story to the best that it really could have done and while yes this special really would have been helped if it did have a slightly longer running time even if it's just five minuets given that this special is made for little kids and with little kids in mind having a special that's almost an hour long might be pushing it for little kids even if it would mean that the extra running time would allow for the specials characters to get across at the very least some of what it is there personalities are meant to be but at the same time tho given this special target audience are indeed little kids and they don't typically care about having fully formed characters as they just want the characters as they know them to be and that's really it and that's exactly what they get in this special with it's characters and with that in mind having a long running time doesn't really make alot of sense as it's something that kids won't really be looking for but it is something that the kids parents and that fans of the comic books will be looking out for tho but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action special that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. As we do get some really fun filled action scenes in this special with the best example of this being the specials third act in which we get to see alot of the heroes come together to team up up and take on Terrax all while "I Need A Hero" by Bonnie Taylor is playing which does make it really fun scene but at the same time all it did was make me think of the scene in Shrek 2 with Shrek and co running through the castle to get to Princess Fiona all the while the exact same song is playing over it and while the action in this special really is indeed really good and really fun given the heroes that they have appear in this special it would have been all the more better if the special actually did take the time to show alot more heroes fighting Terrax which would have made him look like more of threat and it would have shown that it takes all of the heroes to take him down and it it would have been a really fun scene as well with the special third act fight also being the specials best action scene as it really will always be fun to see a group of heroes coming together and seeing all of them use there respective powers to take down a bad guy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall while Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red might be the better special this special is also really fun  and is something that little kids can very easily get behind as it has all of the characters that they all like acting in the way that they know them to do with this special also being a really harmless kids special as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things thar re in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now the as for where I personally got all of the mages that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Database fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
