AEW Blood And Guts Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen it's been about five or possibly even six months since I last reviewed anything from AEW AKA All Elite Wrestling and well I thought that i'd put an end to that dry streak right now. I will say that the event that i'm about to review is perhaps the most mixed event in AEW history simply because when this event was first broadcast a few days ago wrestling fans cannot not and could not / couldn't decide on if they like / liked this event or not nor can wrestling fans decide on if this was a good event or not and so here is my review of the event that is called simply "AEW Blood And Guts" enjoy.

I will very fully admit that i've not been keeping up that much with the AEW product simply because I just don't have the time to watch another wresting show and with that being said I did find it a little bit difficult to keep up with the plot lines that are currently going on in AEW. With that being said the stories that were very easy to follow like the fact that SCU could break up if they loose there next match was / were very easy to follow but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

One of the things that I didn't like about AEW Dynamite when it first started was he fact that they didn't really take full advantage of or do anything with the tunnels that they have on the stage and well i'm pleased to say that issue does / has seemed to be resolved. Since here you see both faces (good guys) and heels (bad guys) walk out of both tunnels which means that there's isn't that much dead space in the set / stage.

However now tho I have a slight issue with the fact that there's no ramp into or even near the ring and as well as the fact that there's a podium on the stage for no reason. Now the fact that there isn't a ramp could be due to the fact that The Daily's Place could be a small arena and they simply couldn't fit a ramp in there but it means a lot of dead space between the stage and the ring which really could have been filled in a bit just to remove that dead space and they could or even should have removed the podium that they have on the stage simply because it's there for no reason whatsoever and so it's a pointless edition to the stage in my opinion.

Now then boys and girls gimmick matches have been around for a long time with some gimmick matches becoming very well known so well known infact that they have an entire event named after them. Sadly tho I cannot see AEW continuing using the titular Blood And Guts match simply because it comes across as a rip off of the War Games match from both WCW and WWF / WWE and as such I do very strongly feel that if AEW were to continue the titular Blood And Guts match then AEW should put more of an effort into making this match stand out from the very similar War Games match.

I have to say that not only are the rules of the Blood And Guts match almost the exact same as the War Games match but visually both the Blood And Guts and as well being the War Games match look the exact same. Which to me at least only adds to my theory that the Blood And Guts match type is a rip off / a knock off of the War Games match and as such I very do strongly feel that WWE / Vince McMahon would have grounds to possibly even sue AEW simply due to the fact that Vince McMahon owns both WCW and the War Games match type.

What I personally found to be very shocking is the fact that there's only one woman's match on the entire match card / card / show / event and that one woman's match which is one this show is a squash match and nothing more. Which is a shame because AEW / All Elite Wrestling does (from what I can recall / remember at least) have a very good women's division which is filled with women who can wrestle and so it's just a shame that those women aren't been / being given the opportunity to show us the fans what they can actually do in the ring. 

Now i've seen a few articles reporting on the hate that the fall Chris Jericho took at the end of the Blood And Guts and while I can see their point of view since the fall isn't as impactful as it perhaps could have been. What we all have to remember is that Chris Jericho is in his fifties now and he is very quickly approaching his mid fifties and so to expect him to a very dangerous fall at his age would be stupid and so having him fall onto what is basically a load of boxes is the best that we could have possibly have hoped for at this point in time but with that being said I do feel that the fall would have had more of an impact if however was taking the fall landed on a padded concrete floor of if the cameras didn't make it so obvious that Chris Jericho was going to be landing on what like I said just said was a bunch of boxes that have been rigged so it's a little bit more safer for the wrestler taking the fall.

Now then boys and girls this event / episode of AEW (All Elite Wrestling Dynamite has a grand total running time of one hour and fifty minuets and fifteen seconds and well this episode really didn't need to be that long at all. Simply because the matches that are on this show / card / match card don't last that long in fact about from the Blood And Guts match all of the matches that are on this show / card / match card / show card / show match card / match show card all come in at less then twenty minuets long. With the Blood And Guts and Guts match coming in at somewhere around thirty minuets but really does make this even drag is the fact that there's a really long Kenny Omega and Orange Cassidy promo near the end of this show and the fact that for no reason the commentators spend at least five minuets just after the Kenny Omega / Orange Cassidy promo just saying that the Blood And Guts match type is up next.

Now then boys and girls this show is of course a wrestling show and that means that I have to talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in the actual wrestling show itself and well I honestly do feel that the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this show is honestly pretty good. With all of the wrestlers that are featured on this show / event putting in some really good wrestling with perhaps my favourite matching being either the Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa Vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston or the fatal four way elimination tag team match for a chance to face The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championship next week on AEW Dynamite or of course the titular Blood And Guts match just due to how insane that match is and as well being how insanely good some of the moves in the titular Blood And Guts match are but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways. 

Overall I honestly have very mixed feelings about this event since even tho some of the matches were in my opinion at least really freaking good there were alot of things that made this event feel very boring to me in my very humble and as well as being my very honest opinion at least / anyways. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both of the very good things in this show / event and as well as both of the very bad things that are in this show / event which means that this pro wrestling show / pro wrestling event gets a 6.5 out of 10 from me personally.

As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page or Google Images and well I cannot actually tell you which website I prefer to use for the images that I personally used in this very review. Since even tho the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page doesn't have any images from the actual event the images that I personally did use from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page seemed to mix from either fairly high quality to fairly low quality to really high quality and even tho Google Images has a lot more verity of images from this actual event the images that are on Google Images range from either fairly high quality to high quality. 

My First Impressions Of Star Wars: The Bad Batch

 

Ladies and gentlemen the world of Star Wars is a world that is always expanding through various forms if media and well the world of Star Wars is expanding again. Since there is a new Star Wars animated TV series currently airing on Disney+ and even tho i'm a few days late to making this post you just know that I had to cover this show and so here are my first impressions of the latest animated TV show to be set in the Star Wars universe with the TV show that is in question being called simply "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" enjoy.

Now then boys and girls the plot of the first episode of this show is a rouge squadron of Clone troopers find themselves on the run from the empire and the plot of the second episode of this show is the clones and their new alley Omega have to help an old friend and his family escape from a planet that is now officially under empyreal control.  In terms of what  thought about the plots of both the first and of the second episode I honestly / really did enjoy the plot of the first episode alot more since it was a really well written story where as the plot of the second episode to me at least felt more lighthearted but episode two was still a really well written episode tho.

Starring in these first two episodes are Dee Bradley Baker as The Bad Batch / Captain Grey / Clone Troopers and Cut and Archie Panjabi as Depa Billaba. Also starring in these first two episodes are Michelle Ang as Omega , Ben Diskin as AZI-3 , Matthew Wood as Battle Droids , Bob Bergen as Lama Su , Gwendoline Yeo as Nala Se , Tom Kane as The Narrator , Stephen Stanton as Admiral Tarkin / Armed Fighter 1 and Armed Fighter 2 , Nika Futterman as Fauja and Shaeeah , Kath Soucie as Jek and Cara Pifko as Suu.

Now then boys and girls there is a few names on there that i've chosen not to mention when crediting who's starring / appearing in these first two episodes simply I want you guys to go into these episodes without knowing as much as is humanly possible which given that the first episode of this show came out a few days might be impossible. As for what I thought about the acting that's featured in these first two episodes in all honesty the acting that's featured in these two episodes is really freaking good which in all honesty shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone since the acting in pretty much all of the Star Wars animated projects be they for a TV series , a film or a TV Holiday Christmas special is freaking always freaking top notch anyways but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very honest and as well being in my very humble opinion anyways.

As for who is doing the animation for these two episodes plus the entire series as a whole we have CGCG Inc who also worked on Star Wars Rebels. In terms of what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in these first two episodes in all honesty the animation that's featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was so freaking good that at times not only did I feel like I was watching a movie but the show also looked like a movie because the animation and the visuals was that good and this level of high quality animation is something that you'd expect to see in a movie and not something that you'd expect to see in a TV series / a streaming service TV series.

Now then boys and girls for those of you who don't know this series is actually a spin off series since it's spun off from the animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While I personally cannot say for sure if you absolutely need / needed to watch every single episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in order to fully understand the characters that are appearing in / starring in these first two episodes I do think that you need to at the very least have seen a good chunk / a good portion of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

However I personally haven't seen every single episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and I fully understood everything that was going on as well as fully understood each of the characters relationships to each other but that's just me tho. Yes I do think that it would help if you've seen Star Wars: The Clone Wars but I don't think that it's an absolute necessity tho since you can very easily pick up on each of the characters relationship to each other and as well what each of the personality traits are for not only each member of the titular The Bad Batch but for the newly created character of Omega.

Now I have to say that I honestly wasn't able to watch and cover episode one back on May The 4th since I was on holiday on May The 4th.As such I made the conscious choice to watch and cover episodes 1 and 2 together since I knew that episode 2 was coming out and May The 7th and I have to say that this was a wise move since both of the first two episodes in this show flow together really well but at the same time I don't really feel that you need to watch both of the first two episodes in this show since both episodes of this show tell different stories but it was fun seeing both of the first two episodes in this show back to back tho.

Now then boys and girls the first episode of this series has a total running time of one hour and eleven minuets and fourteen seconds while the second episode of this show has a total running time of twenty seven minuets and twelve seconds. In all honesty I really don't see why episode one of this new show had to be one hour and eleven minuets and fourteen seconds since it really doesn't have the story needed to cover that amount of time if anything you could have told the story of episode one in forty five minuets and nothing of importance to the plot would need to be cut / lost / sacrificed and I feel that episode two had the right amount of running time since episode two was basically telling a simple story and as such episode doesn't need / didn't need a long / longer running time in order to fully tell it's rather simple story but that's just what I think anyways and that's in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls this is an action show after all and there is action in these first two episodes and that means that I have to talk about the action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episode and in all honesty I thought that the action that was featured / presented to us in episode two was pretty weak. Especially when you compare the action in episode two to the action that's featured / presented to us in episode one which I not only felt was better but the action that's featured / presented to us in episode one was also more fun to watch simply because we get to see all of the members of the titular The Bad Batch doing what they do best and as well as showing us what ever it is that they personally bring to the group / team.

Overall even tho episode one of this show does rush it's timeline with Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge Of The Sith I honestly do feel that out of these first two episodes episode one is the better episode not that episode two is bad per say but it's just that I personally prefer episode one of this new show. Now then boys and girls since i've just this second finished talking about both of the good things that are in these episodes and as well as both of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very review I will not be giving either of these first two episodes a rating / ranking simply because this isn't a review of either episode but is rather instead just my first impressions of Star Wars: The Bad Batch as a whole and yes I might continue to watch this show / series but only time will tell tho.

As for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either the official Star Wars: The Clone Wars fandom wiki page or from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and well I honestly cannot say which website that I personally prefer to use for the images from eithetr of these two episodes. Since even tho there aren't that many images from either of these first two episodes that are on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page the images that are on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are really high quality and are really high definition which sadly the same cannot be said for the official Star Wars The Clone Wars fandom wiki page which has a lot more of a verity of images but the images that are on the official Star Wars: The Clone Wars fandom wiki page are at best fairly high quality and are at best fairly high definition.

My First Impressions Of The Yasuke Anime TV Series

 

Ladies and gentlemen Netflix has been putting alot of anime as of late and well they have just released another new Netflix original anime series. I will fully admit that I had no intention of taking a look at this particular show that is until a few days ago which was when I saw the first trailer for this show on the official Netflix Youtube cannel and so here are my first impressions of the 2021 Netflix original anime series with the Netflix original anime series in question being called simply "Yasuke" and so enjoy this post everyone.

The plot of this particular episode is that Yasuke is an ex samurai who after seeing his master and lord die spends alot of getting drunk until one day when he tasked with helping a mother and daughter sail to reach a special kind of doctor all the meanwhile Yasuke himself has to deal with things that have happened in his own past. In terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this particular episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this particular episode was fairly decent since there was nothing that really stood out to me plot wise about this episode and as such the story for / of / to this particular episode just feels like the standard plot to any first episode of a fantasy / history / action anime and nothing more.

Now then since the version of the episode that I personally saw was the English dubbed version of this particular episode I there for have to say that starring in this in this particular episode is and possibly even the rest of the show is Lakeith Stanfield as Yasuke. Also starring in this particular episode and possibly even the rest of the show is Ming-Na Wen as Natsumaru , Maya Tanida as Saki , Darren Criss as Haruto , William Christopher Stephens as Achoja and the only actor to also be playing this role in the Japanese dub of this show we have Takehiro Hira as Nobunaga Oda.

In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular first episode. In all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular first episode is alot better then what I personally thought that it was gong to be simply because I had no idea who was even starring in this show and as such I had no idea what to expect from this show acting wise and so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this first episode was in honesty really freaking good with all of the actors that are starring in this episode and possibly even the rest of this particular show are in my opinion at least well and truly giving us some really freaking fine performances.

Doing the animation for not only this particular episode for this entire particular show is MAPPA who are currently doing work on Attack On Titan: The Final Season. As for what I personally thought / feel / felt about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this particular episode in all honesty the felt that the animation that we saw in this particular episode was really freaking good but at the same time this show feels like that it's not MAPPA at their best tho.

Netflix have really taken ahold of the anime industry at least in American in the pas few years with the company putting out new anime at least every single anime season and heck just yesterday it was announced that Netflix would be adding both of the new Sailor Moon films this summer. As such I personally do feel that Netflix is slowly but very surely becoming the go to home for anime fans but Netflix will have to be very careful because if they do become the go to home for anime and for anime fans then they run the risk of not anime not being as popular over in America simply because of the fact that Netflix nine times out of ten likes to wait at leas a year before releasing whatever the next show is which is bad considering that again nine times out of ten that same show has already been released out in Japan.

Now then one of the big things that I can see websites like Kotaku and even a website like The Mary Sue picking up on in this particular show is the fact that the main character is a person of color. I can see websites like Kotaku and The Mary Sue picking up on this fact simply because all those websites is the color of someone's skin and not how well written or even how well acted the character in question well and truly is. 

Speaking of how well written the characters in this episode are I personally feel that the characters that are in this show aren't going to be very well written at all. Simply because just based of this first episode we've not really gotten any kind of hint as to what the personalities of these characters nor are we given any kind of reason to like these characters but if that changes over the following fives episodes of this six episode show / firs season then i'll gladly give the show the credit that it well and truly deserves but so far this episode didn't really impress writing wise also because of the fact that the characters seem to be pretty freaking generic as all heck which makes sense for Yasuke because he was an actual person but it doesn't make sense for any of the shows possibly made up / fictional characters tho.

Now then boys and girls this particular episode is thirty minuets and twenty eight seconds long which I personally felt was the right amount of time. Simply because this episode was the first episode of an anime show and as such to expect the story in this episode to be fully told would be pretty daft / pretty freaking stupid since an anime can take several episodes to tell one single story and / but I will admit that this episode really did fly by in certain places but the particular episode also felt alot slower in other parts / places of this particular episode as well. 

Now then boys and girls this anime is an action anime and there is some action to be found in this episode and that means / which means that I have to talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in the actual episode itself and in all honesty the action that we get to see in this episode wasn't that bad. Simply because of the fact that the animation in this particular episodes action sequences was so good but the actual action was at best pretty freaking average tho but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways. 

Overall this episode was a pretty decent episode and I do hope that this show finds a fanbase and that this show gets better as it continues on through the remaining five episodes. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both of the good and as well both of the bad things that are in this episode in this review I will not be giving my overall rating for this series simply because this isn't a review but as the title suggests is rather just my first impressions of the show as a whole.

As for where I got the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Yasuke fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my preferred website to use from images from this show (because yes I couldn't find that many pictures from just this first episode nor could I personally find a cast list for just this first episode either) being Google Images since there are alot of images from this show that are now up and on Google Images. 

 

Justice Society: World War II SPOILERS FILLED!!!!!!!!!! Review

DC Comics fans DC Comics is known for putting out really good direct to DVD  animated movies and well since we have a tradition going on here you just know that I was going to be checking out this movie the first chance that I had / got. I will fully admit that I straight up forgot all about this film even existing let alone when this film was even coming out as such it was a shock for me to see that this film had just been released on digital platforms and so join me as I review the 2021 direct to DVD DC Comics animated film that is honestly pretty freaking cool with the film itself being called simply "Justice Society: World War II" enjoy.

The plot of this film is The Flash (Barry Allen) finds himself stuck right slap bang in the middle of World War 2 and with the help of the Justice Society of America must find his way back to his own time but not before The Flash (Barry Allen) joins the Justice Society of America in possibly tipping the balance of the war forever.  In terms of what I thought about the plot of this film / movie in all honesty the plot of this film / movie was really freaking good and if i'm being honest I had no idea where the plot of this film was even going which for me at least is always a very good thing indeed.

Starring in this film is Stana Katic as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman , Matt Bomer as Barry Allen / The Flash and Elysia Rotaru as Dinah Lance / Black Canary. Also starring in this film is Chris Diamantopoulos as Steve Trevor ,  Omid Abtahi as Hawkman , Matthew Mercer as Hourman , Armen Taylor as Jay Garrick / The Flash , Liam McIntyre as Arthur Curry / Aquaman , Geoffrey Arend as Charles Halsted, and as An Advisor , Ashleigh LaThrop as Iris West , Keith Ferguson as Doctor Fate , Darin De Paul as Franklin D. Roosevelt and ????????? as Shakespeare / ??????? / ???????.

In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film is really freaking good. All of the actors that are starring in this film really do deliver some really good performances altho I have to say that for unknown reason Stana Katic seems to be doing an impression of Gal Gadot which is something that I personally fund to be very distracting despite the fact that actress Stana Katic does turn in a really good performance as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.

Doing the animation for this film is Digital eMation who have done alot on Warner Bros direct to DVD animated movies. I have to say that I honestly and personally really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very film since the animation that's featured / presented to us in this film was really fluid and the backgrounds were really stunning and as such you could tell that the animators who were working on this film really did have a blast / a good time working on this film because it really does show in this film.

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

There was one thing that I wasn't expecting to see in this film and it's that one thing plus something else that made me turn this film review into a spoiler filled review. Since we see a picture of the The Ark Of The Covenant which i'm going to be honest made me laugh because that whole sequence just reminded me alot of Raiders Of The Lost Ark and have no idea why since the two movies couldn't be any more different even if they tried.

Now you guys may / might have noticed that I left one actors name of the list of credited actors and that's because even tho this person being in this movie wouldn't be a spoiler what would be a spoiler is who they are playing because reprising his role as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman from the animated direct to DVD film we have Darren Criss. This honestly makes me believe that DC Comics has secretly started a new direct to DVD animated movie universe simply because DC Comics very rarely have the same actor play the same character in multiple animated protects and the last time that they did was with the DC Animated Movie Universe and so this leads me to believe that we are perhaps seeing the beginnings of a new direct to DVD animated movie universe from DC Comics but who knows I could be wrong tho.

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

Now then boys and girls even tho i've been fairly positive about the film thus / so far there is one thing that I didn't like about the film and that's the fact that this version of Wonder Woman not only feels like but is also written like the version of Wonder Woman that we say in the 2017 live action Wonder Woman. Which I guess makes sense that particular version of the character was popular and to main stream audiences that particular version of Wonder Woman is the only version of the character that has ever and will ever exist however it also means that this particular version Wonder Woman cannot be her own character which in my opinion at least makes this particular version of Wonder Woman not only forgettable but also badly written since the makers of this film are just copying and pasting what the makers of the 2017 live action Wonder Woman did for there particular version of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.

Now then boys and girls this film has a total running time of exactly one hour and twenty four minuets and sixteen seconds and which if i'm being honest that running time suits this film perfectly. Since there really isn't enough plot to cover anything even close to two hours but there is more then enough plot to cover almost one hour and thirty minuets and it really does help that this film really does fly by but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls this film is an action film after all and that does mean that there is alot of action to be found in this film and so that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the actual film itself and if i'm being really freaking honest here. the action that's seen / featured / presented to us in this film is so freaking good and this is where I personally feel that the animators who worked on animating this film had a lot of fun simply because you get to see all of the Justice Society Of America members do a lot of really cool stuff and plus the animation gets alot better and alot more fluid in the action scenes that are in this film and plus is does help that the action that is seen / featured / presented to us in this film is just so freaking cool with like I said the Justice Society Of America members doing lots of really cool things which is something that you really want to happen in any action scene but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest and as well as being in my vert personal opinion anyways.

Overall this is a movie that I personally cannot recommend enough because it really is in my opinion at least simply such a good movie to watch and to enjoy. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both f the good and as well as booth of the bad things that are in this movie in this very review this movie / film gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me personally , as for where I got the images that I used in this review. Well then boys and girls I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page , Google Images and the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because it's the only website that actually has images from this film.

 

Star Wars Rebels "Twilight Of The Apprentice" Review

 

Star Wars fans we are but a little over a week away from the launch of the newest Star Wars animated series which is being called "Star Wars: The bad Batch" and as such I thought that it would be fun to take a look back review and episode from another Star Wars animated TV show. This was done simply because I felt like it and so join me as I review the awesome episode of the second season of Star Wars Rebels with the episode itself being called simply "Twilight Of The Apprentice" enjoy,

The plot of this particular episode is Kanen , Ahsoka and Ezra are searching for knowledge about how to destroy the sith once and for all and there quest takes them to hidden Sith temple where an old friend who is seeking there/ his own revenge is waiting for them. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty the plot of this episode is so good and even if you haven't seen the previous episode this story is still very easy to follow and it's stories like this that help make Star Wars Rebels as good as it was in my opinion.

Starring in this episode is Taylor Gray as Ezra Bridger , Freddie Prinze, Jr. as Kanan Jarrus and the always talented and the always stunning Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano. Also starring in this particular episode is Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex , Robert Daymond Howard as Eighth Brother , Sam Witwer as Maul , The Legend That Simply Is James Earl Jones as Darth Vader , Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker , the stunning Sarah Michelle Gellar as Seventh Sister , Philip Anthony-Rodriguez as Fifth Brother and Nika Futterman as Presence.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty the acting that's featured /presented to us in this very review is as good as you'd expect the acting to be in a Dave Filoni directed animated Star Wars TV episode. Since yeah the acting in this episode is so freaking good with all of the actors that are starring / appearing in this episode really doing a good job at portraying their respective character which given that some of these have been playing their respective characters for literally decades at this point really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone at all. 

Now try as I might but I cannot find out who in the heck did the animation for this episode which given what i'm about to say is truly freaking shocking indeed. Since I really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this episode since in my opinion at least the animation that's featured / presented to us in this episode is close to being movie quality because everything about the animation in this particular is so good and you can tell that the animators and everyone involved with the animation side of making show put alot of time and effort into making sure that the animation in this particular episode was as good and if not better then the animation that was seen in the later seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

This episode features the return of Darth Maul (yes I know that he goes by just simply Maul but he will always be Darth Maul to me damn it lol) and I have to admit after not really seeing this character in animation before now I really did like how well that this character was handled in animation. Since this character is to some degree a con man in that he'll tell you whatever it is that you want to hear in order to get what he wants and then and only then once he gets what he wants will he then reveal his true side which honestly makes the character very interesting since you never really know at least in this particular episode is he's telling you the truth or if he's lieing to you which makes his betrayal all the more shocking in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

I'm just going to be f*****g / freaking real with you guys I straight up loved this season two finale of Star Wars Rebels. Simply because this finale is so freaking good it hits all of the buttons that you want a season finale to hit and yet it also tells a good story and it does interesting things with it characters which even tho those interesting things have very little no impact on this episode they would go on to have a huge impact in season 3 of Star Wars Rebels. 

Now then boys and girls i've been very / pretty freaking positive about this episode so far but there are a few things that I didn't like about this particular episode with the first thing being the fact that the new and interesting things that this episode does with it's characters have no literally no / zero impact in this episode and so those new and interesting things could have been removed from this episode and nothing about this particular episode would be effected whatsoever and the other thing that I didn't like is that it got rid of this seasons big bads / villains pretty easily which makes the big bads / villains for this particular season just feel useless and not that threatening and from what I can remember the villains / big bads from this particular season aren't interesting or even good characters but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinions anyways.

Now then boys boys and girls this particular episode has a running time of just simply forty three minuets and fourteen seconds. Which I honestly feel is the right amount of time for this particular episode since this episode has to not only wrap up any stories from season two but also set up stories for season three and so this episode needed to be double the length of a normal twenty two minuet episode of Star Wars Rebels and this episode used it's extra running time to it's full advantage since there is so much going on both story wise and character wise that it needed the extra running time in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion.

Just before I talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this episode I have to talk about the fight between Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. Since even tho I didn't watch that much of Star Wars: The Clone Wars growing up I still knew enough to know who Ahsoka was and so knowing that she had no idea that Anakin had turned to the dark side of the force and seeing her squaring up to Darth Vader was still a shocking thing because no matter if you've seen Star Wars: the Clone Wars or not you have that connection with one or even both of those characters and so the fight means more because you know what those characters have gone through and that made there fight and there meting in this episode all the more impactful for me personally but that's just what I personally think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls in terms of what I personally thought about the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode. In all honestly I really did like the action that was featured / presented to us in this episode simply because I watched more of Star Wars Rebels that I did Star Wars The Clone Wars and so I have a much stronger connection to the cast of characters from Star Wars Rebels and that made the action in this episode all the more impactful because of the fact that i've followed those characters from Star Wars Rebels on this journey and so of course i'd want them to succeed and of course i'd also want them to beat every enemy that they enter into a really cool looking fight scene / action scene with.

Overall this was a really freaking good episode in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion and it's one that I personally recommend all Star Wars and non Star Wars fans alike check out because this episode is well and truly that freaking good. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both of the good things that are featured / presented to us in this episode and as well as both of the bad things that are featured / resented to us in this very episode in this very review this episode gets a 9 out of 10 from me personally.

As for where I got the images that I used in this very review from well i got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Star Wars Rebels fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this particular episode from being the official Star Wars Rebels fandom wiki page just because all if not alot of the images that are featured on the official Star Wars Rebels fandom wiki page are all fairly high definition as well as being fairly high quality as well.

Game Of Thrones "The Long Night" Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen it's been at least two months since I last spoke about anything to do with Game Of Thrones and well as such I thought that now was the right time to make another Game Of Thrones review. This time tho I thought that i'd go with a rather underrated episode from the dreadful season eight and so join me boys and girls as I review the Game Of Thrones season 8 episode that really should have had alot more main character deaths with the episode itself being called simply "The Long Night" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Winterfell finds itself under attack from the army of the dead which is lead of course by the night king and so it's up to our heroes to survive the night and hopefully defeat the night king once and for all or else the night king and his army of the dead will take out the entire world of Westeros. Plot wise I felt that this episode was really good since it was very easy to understand what the plot of the episode was and it really helped the plot of this particular episode was in my opinion at least really well freaking told.

Starring in this particular episode is Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister. Also starring in this particular episode is Emilia Clarke as Queen Daenerys Targaryen , Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Sophie Turner as Lady Sansa Stark , Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth , Carice Van Houten as Melisandre , Nathalie Emmanuel as Missandei , Alfie Allen as Prince Theon Greyjoy , Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark , John Bradley as Samwell Tarly , Hannah Murray as Gilly , Gwendoline Christie as Ser Brienne of Tart , Conleth Hill as Varys , Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane , Kristofer Hivju as Tormund , Joe Dempsie as Gendry , Jacob Anderson as Commander Grey Worm , Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont , Bella Ramsey as Lady Lyanna Mormont , Richard Dormer as Lord Beric Dondarrion and Vladimír Furdík as The Night King.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this episode in all honesty I thought that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular episode was really freaking good. Which given that this is Game Of Thrones and Game Of Thrones always has good acting the fact that this particular episode has good acting isn't new or even close to being shocking but what is new is the fact that there's alot of scenes where there's no dialog and yet you can tell what the characters are thinking just by looking at the actors on the screen and that is something that i've never said before in any of my reviews but it's something that I feel is very true for this particular episode.

Doing the CGI for not only this particular episode but also for the whole of the Game Of Thrones TV series is Karakter Design Studio , Weta Digital , El Ranchito , Image Engine Design , SSVFX , Important Looking Pirates , Atomic Arts , Lola Visual Effects , Clearcut FX , Cadence Effects and Yellowmoon. I don't think that this needs saying at this point since it's true for every single episode of Game Of Thrones but the CGI that's featured / resented to us in this episode is so freaking good and part of what makes the CGI in this particular episode so good is the fact that CGI blends in with the stuff that was filmed for real so well and so there's a hint of realism there like for example when you see a dragon breathe fire this episode will sometimes show how that fire is lighting other parts of Winterfell and that kind of detail / realism is something that you don't really see that much in TV shows and that helps the overall quality of the CGI in this episode but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

One of the things that really bugged me about this episode is that only a few major characters die which for Game Of Thrones a show which is known for killing major characters isn't a good thing at all in my opinion. Like how cool and shocking would it have been to see Jon Snow get killed or to see someone like Arya get killed either one of those deaths would have made the episode more impactful heck killing of any of the really well known characters would have made this episode seem all the more impactful but nope instead the writers of this particular episode who are David Benioff & D.B. Weiss instead chose to go the safe route and kept all of the really well known / really popular characters save and thus alive.

I had to admit that I really loved Arya in this episode since they pretty much made her like Liam Neesons character from Taken mixed with John Wick. Which is honestly something that really did work for where the character of Arya is at this point in the story since at this point in the story she's become a battle hardened warrior and so she's willing to do anything to keep something that she loves save and that's love and that determination that really keeps her going in this episode but there's a huge chance that i'm simply just looking for something that simply isn't there just like there's a huge chance that i'm looking at something that simply isn't there.

I'm just going to come right out and say it Jon Snow is freaking dumb as a rock in this episode because he knows that The Night King can raise the dead and so what does he do he puts alot of the really important people plus women and children and those who simply cannot fight in a place that's full of dead people. Granted wherever every none fighter and important person was going to put was always going to be unsafe but putting them in a room full of undead people when your fighting against someone who can raise the dead is a pretty freaking dumb move but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls I cannot remember the exact running time for this episode but I do know that this episode is at least one hour and twenty minuets / an hour and twenty minuets long and I have to say that that is the right amount of time for this episode in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion. Since there's so much to cover story wise that you just couldn't do this episode in just under an hour but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls this whole episode is basically one action sequence / action set piece which means that I have to talk about the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode / in the actual episode itself and if i'm being really freaking honest the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode is so freaking good. I honestly think that director Miguel Sapochnik really does know how to direct an action scene since he does a really good job with the action in this episode since the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode is just so cool to see which is something that you always want when your doing alot of action in either a TV show or in a film.

Overall out of the whole of season eight this is one of the better episodes which really isn't saying much because alot of Game Of Thrones fans myself included hate season eight of Game Of Thrones. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both / some of the good things that are in this episode and bot / some of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such this episode gets an 8 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got the images that I used in this review well i personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either Google Images or the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page. With my referred website to use for images from this episode being the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page just simply due to not only how images there are from this particular episode but also just simply due to the fact that nearly all of the images from this particular episode are very high definition and as well as being vert high quality.
