Cobra Kai (2018)
Crap Kick
I don't particually care for the franchise as I have never seen the orginal three films of the franchise nor have I seen the fourth film. The only film I watched was the film released in 2010 which serves no connection to the actual franchise.
The programme has really nothing going for it aside from the sole fact of habouring nostlogia to the audience seems to be keeping it in the interest of the supposed majority. As its own progamme, its mainly a cheesy cringey soap opera. There's really nothing that cobra kai gives without rehashing the same thing over and over again from the orginal three films.
Lost & Found Music Studios (2015)
Lost and Found..........And Lost Again.
This progamme seems to amaze me for the fact that an actual spin off progamme of The Next Step was created.
This progamme was so alike to The Next Step with the one obvious difference that this was mainly focused around a music studio instead. Not to mention several original characters from the TNS often crossed-over to this Spin off progamme numerous times.
The only two series of the progamme captivated me as well as many other viewers. Alas the programme never quite managed to achieve the same popularity or have more themes explored in detail as The Next Step. As the progamme was subtly cancelled after, leaving us to deal with the abrupt forever-unanswered cliffhangers in end of series two.
This programme was probably cancelled in favour of stretching out the The Next Step. I guess the higher ups saw no potential to continue the spin off as they could just continue to lazily invest their money solely on the original progamme instead.
Lost and found Music studio was found to have great potential in its short tenture. Sadly the progamme was lost again not too soon after and it will never be found again.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
This film feels like a discombobulated fanfiction
The first 'part' of the film definitely felt like filler, The movie goes in with the whole thing of peter getting framed for getting rid of Mysterio being a pretty big deal, only for the charges to be dropped not too long after. There's a youtube video which theorises that the whole thing was probably just a whole big set up by Tony stark's company which is why the charges were dropped so quickly.
It almost felt like Peter was acting dumb on purpose, As the whole thing could have been solved so easily. If Peter actually bothered to think about the certain people in his life that he didn't want to be affected by the forgetting spell and then clearly telling Doctor Strange beforehand instead of mentioning it whilst the spell was being made. In fact the sole reason why the mutiverse broke apart was because Peter just kept interrupting Doctor strange whilst the spell was being made in the first part not the spell itself. Then we also wonder why Peter asked for almost everyone to forget him, instead of just his alter ego, spiderman or even better yet why didn't Peter ask for everyone to forget Mysterio and everything he ever said or did instead. Making Mysterio that one thing everyone needed to forget in the spell, would have certainly have been have the easier option as Peter would have never had to think about the important people his life he wanted them to excluded out of the forgetting spell because that would never be needed as making the important people in life forget about Mysterio would never have made a difference in the fact that they would still care about Peter exactly same way they would before the spell was made. The same thing about about the important people in peter life not needing to be excluding from the spell (the spell if Peter asked the world to forget him as spiderman instead) would still certainly not make that much difference as they would still remember him as 'Peter Parker' but just not as Spiderman. I'm pretty sure Peter had good relations between them long before they found that he was Spiderman so their relationships isn't hanging by the thread of that Peter was secretly a superhero. So all he could still maintain a relationship between them this time promising to keep his secret to remain unknown or gradually reveal it to them after some period of time, this time making sure that the secret stays between them and only them. Even the whole world would have forgotten that Peter was spiderman not Peter himself. Poor Peter simply made it harder for himself by literally choosing the worst option that could have used in the spell.
Don't get me started on the return of Tobey and Andrew's ilterations on the character. They definitely felt like MCU warped versions of themselves and are almost next to nothing like the way they were in their own films. Everyone already knows the reason why, its because the two of them wanted their cameos in the film to be as minimal as possible and didn't want to steal the limelight from Tom's ilteration of the character but isn't that kinda ruining the whole point? The one thing everyone was hoping for was to see both of them reprising their roles. I think both of them knew that they didn't need to put too much hard work into it because they already knew that just their presence alone in the film would be enough to satisify the masses.
Both Andrew and Tobey's Peter parker/spiderman seemed literally unfazed by the jarring fact that they were suddenly transported to another universe. Yes I know that their own universes are not all normal and are still strange in their own rights but nonetheless they could have still have felt suprised about the whole thing. The pause which occurs when both their ilterations appear was painfully annoying and wants the whole audicence to clap like seals and cheer for every time nostolgia is baited in the film. Its almost as if the characters (Tobey and Andrew's Peter Parker/Spiderman) are aware of how painfully obviously the fan service is to the audience choosing to play within those boundaries instead of even daring to challenge our expections. They also seemed unconcered of the fact they have alternate versions of themselves. Let alone the speedrunning development of the supposed brotherhood between the three Peter Parkers/Spidermans.
Green Goblin was given the most significance in the film, which is saying something as since he was plucked into the MCU universe, his film is now the first one in the MCU timeline, Followed by Doctor Octavius as his film is critically aclaimed and might even be better than its predecesser. Then its followed by Electro, which is ironic since his film was considered so bad, even worse than Spiderman 3, that it shattered all hopes of a third film and terminated the The amazing spiderman franchise for good. Then its followed by Sandman, which is again ironic as his film is considered the worst in the spiderman franchise, however his film was still good enough that it managed to generate enough assumed hope that there would be a fourth film for a couple of years. Last but not least is the Lizard, which is unironic as his film was the better received one in the amazing spiderman franchise.
Everyone already knows the real reason why Sandman and Lizard were pratically useless in the film as both actors were never actually on set during the production of the film. One reason was because of covid restrictions but there could be other forever unknown personal reasons why they couldn't be there on set, but they still wanted to be included, so atleast they managed to voice their CGI versions of themselves. This definitely explains why Sandman was unable to transform to and from his human self like he did in his own film. The scene of them getting 'cured' of their evil selfs was just reused stock footage from Spiderman 3 and The amazing spiderman. The stock footage reused for Sandman was him just transforming to and from his human self something which never happened in this film. The stock footage reused for Lizard however was when he was actually getting cured by Andrew's ileration of the character which is something that was referenced in the film.
The whole climatic battle was secretly to stop the green goblin while the other villains were chasing the spidermans around fruitlessly and aimlessly.
I noticed the all praise for the film was mostly for old actors returning and rarely anything for the plot of the film itself. This film was just nostalgia bait. The tangible dialogue for the returning old actors was mostly just saying stuff that they said already which is much easier than creating new dialogue and its only because people could say 'oh look they said that again'. I do understand that there had to be references in the film, but they have at least added more new interesting dialogue.
This film feels like a discombobulated fanfiction about what would happen if practically almost everyone from the three modern disinct eras of spiderman had the chance to interact with each other.
I am not saying that this film is all bad. There were definitely some interesting and emotional moments in this film. I am just talking about the flaws in this film. This film is good but not great.
Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)
Film only pandering to little children
Just another animated film pandering to the youngest audiences possible. If you are interested in the tales of twelve year old Gru, the concept of it is just fine at best. It lacks creavity and yet again makes the supposed villains of this film so shallow just all the other villains in the other films of this franchise. Its no wonder the film is the shortest one in the franchise with its simpilifed plot which will obviously entertain little children.
Back when the first ever film was released, no one knew that it would simply transform into a rubbish bin churring out its cheey and easy to follow movies that will force said parents to take little children to see the movie anytime, just generating great money for the lazy greedy companies
I doubt anyone who is not a little child was actually excited for this film and only saw it simply due to the 'tik tok trend' or they had nothing else better to do or only saw because they were with a little child who wanted to see the film instead.
It seems such a shame for yet another franchise who has dumbed down over the years because they know that have good money either way.
Horrid Henry (2006)
Horrid Henry Review
Horrid Henry used to be the posterboy of CITV, Having been made exclusively for the fact CITV was going to become its own full-fledged channel and it was going shut down its in-house production for making orginal live-action programmes in a matter of months, futher emphaizing the pressure on its originated animated programmes to entain its audience.
Horrid henry launched a few months after the launch of the CITV channel, it quickly became one of the channel most popular animated programmes, so much that it even got its own movie a couple years later.
On the other hand, the programme is infamous having animation and sound errors, most of which is more prominent in the first series, but thankfully the programme improves its animation and sound in the later seasons. Even the actual animation and sound errors itself are minor and insignificant and hard to notice at first glance.
Series 1-3 of Horrid Henry are the most memorable due to having hilarious, exhilarating and great moments in those episodes. The first theme tune of the programme was also catchy and memorable.
Series 4 and 5 whilst being good, is considered the weakest seasons of the programme as it introduced alot of changes. Series 4 introduced new intro scenes as well as having a completely different theme tune. Horrid Henry's behaviour and personality is completely changed, as well as the blaintant fact that Henry becomes surprising less Horrid and becomes a lot nicer to the people around him. The formula of series 4 is full of episodes showcasing simplistic slice-life episodes the whole programme from thenward out simply becomes a generic children's animated sitcom. Series 4 was also the last ever series of the Programme to air on CITV.
Series 5 does not improve on any of the problems that series 4 had instead even making some of those problems worse in some episodes of the series. Series 5 also switched networks and was only broadcast on Nicktoons UK. Nicktoons UK gained the rights of the programme in May 2018 so it seemed both channels were airing series 1-4 repeats of Horrid henry now, around the same time a fifth series of the programme was commissoned, and both channels were raring to go to broadcast series 5, however CITV fully lost the rights to the programme in January 2019 and as a consequence not only was CITV barred from airing the new series, it also was not allowed to broadcast anymore repeats of series 1-4 of the programme, effectively marking the end of an era for Horrid Henry on its time on CITV. The style of animation in series 5 slightly differed depending on episodes, some episode of series 5 was still animated in handrawn animation just like the older seasons, whilst other episodes was animated in flash animation instead probably due to lack of budget. The flash animated episodes are still good and not too downright bad, the flash animations causes changes the character's features and makes the movements of the character look too stitly and jilted and rigged. Series 5 was the shortest season overall probably because ideas could not be thought out for ten worth of episodes so the number of episodes decreased by ten, making it have 42 episodes in total when series 1-4 of Horrid Henry had 52 episodes each instead. Series 5 was full of bad to medicore episodes.
