Elden Ring
(2022)

Open world downfall?
I am a hardcore Dark Souls fan, they were my first souls games. I played DS1 a few years ago and fell in love with the series. But this is about Elden Ring. What isn't there to like about Elden Ring? The graphics are STUNNING, the weapons are amazing, the game is beautifully made, and made with love. I can't name anything I hated about this game. But I can name a few things I wish were different which is the reason for my minus 1 point off of my review.

I think that this game is a lot like Ds2 in a ways that people DIDN'T like. People hated that DS2 was hard for the WRONG reasons. Rather than a 'get good' mentality. Most of the bosses in this game are based on skill. Easily the best bosses of any soulsborne game I have ever played. I loved Radahn, and Maliketh! Such fun boss fights!

I am not a fan of how you can explore open world which will lead you into areas WAY too earlier. As a dark souls player I did this and beat many areas very early. I just thought it was hard and meant to be that way. But later on I found areas/bosses super late on accident. Which made me kill about 21 bosses first try because my weapon was so powerful by the time I found them. I feel if the game was set up to where you could still explore open world but had to beat the bosses before moving on would make this game PERFECT.

But I wanted to mention Malenia, and Mohg. I think those 2 bosses are such DS2 bosses. If you don't find the item for your flask when you fight Mohg (I never did and spent 79 attempts to beat him) this fight becomes way harder. When he starts his Phase 2 he does a bloodloss tha makes you lose 3-4 flasks depending on how upgraded your flask is. So if you get to phase 2 with 2 flasks left. You're dead. I can see how it is a 'get good' in phase 1 and it won't matter. But you could still dodge EVERYTHING in phase 2 and beat it. But this doesn't give you that oppurtunity.

Malenia has Scarlett Rott, a crazy wind move, and heals for every hit. Both bosses just being hard for the wrong reasons. Not for the simple fact of getting good.

I know it sounds critical but I only say this because of the hate that DS2 gets. I truly loved this game and it deserves to be one of the best games ever made for everyone.

That '90s Show: That '90s Pilot
(2023)
Episode 1, Season 1

Good start for the sequel
Huge fan of that 70's show here Watching this because of how much I loved That 70's Show. The first episode was pretty good. I think some of the kids acting was cringe but it doesn't mean it's bad. If you compare it to the first season of the original show it is similar.

The actors will get better as time goes on for sure. If you are watching as a fan you will totally enjoy it. I didn't laugh at every joke but I did laugh and smile quite a bit during this episode. So you can say I enjoyed it.

Spoilers: I think Eric is a good dad and his daughter Leia is just like him. She is nerdy and she was casted perfectly.

I also love all the star wars references.

Captain America: The First Avenger
(2011)

Compelling story! How couldn't you enjoy this?
I've been reading reviews and the only reason people don't like it is because it's pro america. That shouldn't be looked at as a bad thing. The amount of american pride back then was awesome! People WANTED to die for their country. The people not liking it are people that aren't from the US claiming it to be propaganda. But really it's based in 1942-46. This is accurate to what it was! If you reasonings are purely based on it being about USA you really gotta rethink why a movie is bad or good..my gosh. I saw it for the first time yesterday and I thought it was amazing. I am trying to get into Marvel and I am glad I Started here.

The story was sad, funny, cool, and romantic. This has everything I hoped for, good watch!

Batman Beyond: Rebirth: Part 1
(1999)
Episode 1, Season 1

Great episode only 1 minor flaw
I haven't seen this show since I was a kid. I am currently 26 years old.

Even though the show is kind of cheesy it has a really cool animation/ artstyle. The voice acting is great and the feeling off the show is overall good. My only issue with the show was the emotion shown. I feel like there should have been a little more emotion in certain spots (no spoilers so i won't say) If they have more elaborate emotion it would have been a perfect episode.

I also thought I might add I am a cartoon and anime fan. I am not watching this because I am a batman fan. I actually haven't even seen the movies. But I really do enjoy this. Can't wait to see more!

Invincible
(2021)

God-tier American Cartoons
Most people praise anime because "IT'S ANIME." But let's praise a god-tier show like this made by Americans. This is seriously so good. Most people that I have go to watch this show I have to tell them to continue watching the first episode because it seems like it ends but it really doesn't. That is where everyone gets so hooked on this show.

If any of the writers or voice actors read this just know this is perfect and I can't wait for more. This is one of the best cartoons of all-time in my opinion. I also got the books just to spoil everything for myself but they are slightly different anyway.

I am impatiently waiting for season 2 to drop.

SpongeBob SquarePants
(1999)

Watch Season 1-6
I grew up on Spongebob (born in 96) This show was amazing as a kid and even funnier now. I constantly rewatch this show's season 1-6 every few years.

10/10 If we are talking about anything before season 7. I just recommend not even going past that point and you will love this show.
