WONDER WOMAN 2 SET IN 1984

Image
An image was released by Geoff Johns on Twitter revealing a banner for Wonder Woman 2, as seen above. The image has "WW84" with the letters obviously standing for Gal Gadot herself, as  Wonder Woman, and the 84 teasing the year that the film is going to take place, 1984. The film was rumored to take place in the 1980's, but this confirms the time period of the film, which teases what might happen in the film, so let's go through that. The first film focuses in World War I, having the films set in World Word II, seems like it would be another version of the first film, just being more horrific, so it makes sense that the sequel is not set in the 40's. In 1984, or the 1980's in general, there was one major global threat, and that was the Cold War, well that extended through 40 years, with the US, and USSR had their differences in their political views, and yeah, hydrogen bombs. In Wonder Woman 2, it seems like Diana Prince will being the one stelling do...

POKEMON "LET'S GO" TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
The new Pokemon Games for the Nintendo Switch have been announced, and the rumors are true, the two new games are titled "Let's Go Pikachu" and "Let's Go Eevee", however with the new trailer, we see a brand new Kanto remake which looks brilliant with brand new features, a slightly different art style, and some exciting integrations. So let's go ahead and take a look at the trailer. So with the Let's Go games, we see that the game seems to fall in line with Pokemon Yellow a little more with Pikachu being a protagonist. However, in these games, Pikachu or Eevee will be the starter, depending on what version of the game you get. In the trailer, we see the nato region professor, Professor Willow back. He seems the base as he was 25 years ago. I am not too sure how he will be weaved into the narrative of the game, like if his grandson is going to be Blue, the antagonist or if that is going to be changed. In the background of the shot, there ar...

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP "UNLEASHED" TV SPOT BREAKDOWN

Image
Hey everyone, we are back with some brand new footage from Ant-Man and the Wasp, which, with after Infinity War is released, raises some questions, which tie to the film. So some spoilers ahead for Infinity War, let's break down this footage. The first shot of the trailer has a voice over of Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) saying "We unleashed something powerful.", referring to the main villain of the film, Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen). This shot above of Hope and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), who are looking a little surprised. I am assuming this is when the two discover that Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) is still alive, which is one of the main plots of the film, which has not been revealed in the trailer. This shot seems to be towards the end of the film, where the Ghosts' powers are playing up. In the explosion, there is a hint of blue which seems like something with the fabric of space is playing up due to the Ghosts' power use. Another possible t...

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY REVIEW

Image
Although it has had production issues, Solo: A Star Wars Story is a surprisingly alright film for what it could have been. Yes, it is time for a new Star Wars spin-off, and this time, we are here with the film which no one asked for, but yet, it exists, Solo. This is a non-spoiler review of the film, so don't worry, no big twist or plot points are mentioned. So to start off, this film is fine "Everything's fine", a line which was used in the trailer which describes this film incredibly well. With Phil Lord and Chris Miller leaving the project after filming the majority of the film, Ron Howard was amazing at pulling this film from out of the dumpster fire, as he reshot most of the film. There were a couple times where you could see the differences in the two directing visions, however, it was all strung together in a presentable manner. Solo has many plot points which it dives deep into. There are a few useless and extremely weird concepts which attempt to expla...

BOBA FETT: A STAR WARS STORY ANNOUNCED

Image
With Solo: A Star Wars Story upon us, it has been announced that Han's greatest enemy (behind his son), Boba Fett, is going to get a spin-off film, directed by James Mangold. The news broke today from the Hollywood Reporter who said that Mangold is going to write and direct the film, which is not the last of the spin-off films, which we will see. So, this is awesome news, which raises plenty of questions, so let's get into this. To start off, I am pretty confident that this film will take place after Return of the Jedi, or while that film is going on. Most people have speculated that Boba Fett got out of the Sarlacc Pitt from the Jabba palace attack. So it seems like this would be confirmed with most likely the film starting off with Fett flying out of the pit. There are many ways where this film could go. I could focus on Boba Fett going on a side mission, all the while the Empire is being shattered, or it could show Boba Fett potentially trying to stop the Rebels or even...

I finally caught up and we are here with the Agents of SHIELD Season five finale, directed by Jed Whedon, as we see everything escalate as the team tries to fix the future timeline. So spoilers ahead for the episode and Infinity War let's recap. Wanting to stop all threats including Thanos, General Talbot becomes Graviton, as he becomes power hungry to gain more Gravitonium.

DEADPOOL 2 NON SPOILER REVIEW

Image
Finally, we are here for Deadpool 2, the sequel to the 2016 R-rated hit, of Deadpool. This is a non-spoiler review of the film where I will not spoil any plot twist or major plot threads of which there were a lot of. I might compare this a little to the first film, however, let's get on to it. With mysterious time traveler, Cable (Josh Brolin), coming from the future, Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) must suit up as not Green Lanter, however as Deadpool, to protect a mutant kid, Fire Fist (Jullian Dennison). Not being able to stop this threat alone, Deadpool needs to assemble his "forward thinking, gender-neutral group, X-Force", with characters such as newcomer Domino (Zazie Beetz), and some familiar faces of Dopinder (Karan Soni), Weasel (TJ Miller), Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), and Teenage Negasonic Warhead (Briana Hillbrand), to save the kid and stop Cable. To start off, I absolutely loved this film. I enjoyed this more than the first film. We dived deeper into the ch...
