Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Black Panther (2018)

  

This is the start of another set of movies I have been putting off because I did not like the things I was hearing about it. For the most part, I am happy to say the things I was hearing about it were wrong, but I am saddened to say I still did not fully enjoy the movie. For as long as it was there was not much actual story to it, I feel like it was a lot of filler details about the people and their journey and we were not seeing much of how that fits into the MCU in this moment because it is an introductory character film. The other big thing I did not enjoy was this outsider from the states that comes and attempts to take over the kingdom. I have no words for his demeanor other than he is everything that is wrong with this movie. I hate him.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • I'm confused, what is vibranium?
  • This actor looks familiar for some reason...
  • What is that blue on his lip?
  • Two questions, how long after the previous king dying is this movie? And why does younger brother look older than the Panther brother?
  • So the answer to how long is a week.
  • We meditate to fly the plane?
  • How did their technology get so advanced? Why doesn't the rest of the world have flying trains?
  • Why does he care about the history?
  • Why does he want the Wakanda tool?
  • What did he put in her drink?
  • Why would she take somebody else's drink anyway?
  • Did they steal the ambulance and uniforms too?
  • Why are all the warrior women bald?
  • Do black panthers have spots?
  • That looks painful.
  • Why do none of them want to challenge? I would think they would all want a chance at the throne.
  • He does not look fit enough to fight him.
  • So if he has a black panther mask and they harness the black panther power, does this other tribe harness whatever animal their mask represents?
  • Why do the guards keep getting closer?
  • "Don't make me kill you" is a bold statement, as you are hanging further over the edge than he is.
  • Why are we burying him?
  • It's giving Simba and Mufasa talk vibes.
  • Was his eye always lazy?
  • I know it has something to do with their culture but I will never understand why you would want that big round disk in your lip like that. It looks like it could be very painful and problematic.
  • That's kind of cool that they can merge their calls together instead of having duplicate visuals.
  • Did Wakanda care about the item being in the museum? They definitely care about it being stolen from the museum, that is for usre.
  • It seems weird to me how advanced they are technologically and yet they still choose to honor their tribal traditions both in attire but also the dueling ceremonies and such.
  • Was that meant to be a play on the what are those vine with shoes?
  • How hard were you expecting him to hit it?
  • That is a lot of vehicles pulling up at once, not very conspicuous.
  • He was keeping it in his trousers?
  • So much for not wanting a shootout...
  • I thought she wasn't allowed to go? Also, why does the inside of the car look like it isn't actually there?
  • Her sliding up in the seat like its a go kart was funny.
  • OH! She wasn't actually there! The car was virtual! How was he riding on top of it then though?
  • Pause, what is Capt's shield and the iron man suit made of again? Is it vibranium?
  • Why does he assume he is an outsider? How else would he have known that it was a real Wakanda item in the museum?
  • Do you think he is going to take this information back to the CIA and tell them about all of it?
  • Does she know he doesn't know how much vibranium they have?
  • If he is one of the CIA's then how does he have the Wakanda markings?
  • So they are cousins?
  • Is there a difference between the small raised areas and the long raised areas?
  • Wait, so is it the bumpy skin guy who got cancer and died? I thought it was the guy he just threw over the cliff...
  • So if the original bumpy skin leader did not care to fight the black panther king, why was he so proud of this guy for doing so?
  • They were so worried about the sister not honoring tradition and yet here we are with this a hole who is burning everything.
  • This guy is part of the problem, not the solution and that is sad.
  • Has mom's hair always been white like that?
  • So much for offering that plant to the ape king for assistance.
  • Oh, so NOW you want to support the original king because you can see he is still alive... wow.
  • Where's the blood spatter?
  • OH! The sister is the Build-A-Bear we had in store!
  • Why is the suit not pushing the force back out again like it did when he hit it?
  • Wow, he almost gave his life for Wakanda, taking out that ship with the weapons.
  • She is very fierce running in front of the rhino like that.
  • Aww, he let him experience the sunrise.
  • That is nice of him to try and make right by their wrongs, help the next generation.
  • Why is their first thought to rip it apart and sell it?
  • I mean, wasn't Wakanda already working on coming out of the shadows with his father going to discuss the Avengers initiative?
  • How did the sister go from spearheading the tech initiative in California to being wherever she is now?
  • IS THAT BUCKY?? How did he get there?? I thought he was frozen??

Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Thor Ragnarok (2017)

  

Not a bad movie, just a meh movie. I appreciated learning where Thor had been this entire time, and seeing him loved by so many people. Trying to follow whether Loki was good or bad was rather difficult. The sister bit kind of confused me for most of this, especially when it started seemingly like the father treated her more as a partner than as a descendant/heir. Not sure how any of this is going to connect to the rest of the MCU other than the fact that Thor and Hulk were involved.

I have nothing else good to say, so I'm not going to bother. Read my in-time notes below if you desire.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Why IS Thor in a cage?
  • Him wanting to keep eye contact while talking is kind of funny.
  • Why does he hold his arm like that?
  • If he could get out that easily why didn't he?
  • Is that the skull with the crown on his back?
  • Is this guy new? He sucks as a gatekeeper...
  • So is Odin back then?
  • That guy is very clunky in his armour.
  • So is Loki good now?
  • Is that a wizard of oz background?
  • I KNEW THAT COULDN"T BE ODIN... But also was not expecting it to be Loki if they were honoring his death... Still confused if he is good or not...
  • Why did he send their father to a nursing home on Earth?
  • JANE DUMPED HIM?!?
  • What is the point of telling him to take a seat if you are just going to force him to?
  • Why does Doctor Strange want to send them back to Asgard?
  • I don't remember Doctor Strange being like this.
  • They have a sister? Will she become the ruler? Oh, never mind, she is more evil than Loki.
  • So much for bringing dad home.
  • Dad chose to leave. You can't be mad about that!
  • Why does only Thor look like their parents?
  • SHE BROKE THE HAMMER!
  • Loki is such a chicken.
  • Is this another new guy manning the gate?!?
  • Her outfit changed? Why are her and Loki both black and green outfits while Thor is red and blue?
  • Did he just get dumped in a trash dimension?
  • He forgot he doesn't have a hammer for a second...
  • Who is she, and why is she discombobulated like that?
  • How did she not hit him?
  • Why are we playing the Willy Wonka factory sound?
  • It's an army of Power Rangers!
  • Who the heck is this guy?
  • She gives Trunchbul vibes.
  • He melted him!!
  • "See ya later new Doug."
  • Ma'am, he had it before you. He is your father.
  • Is she going to make an army of the undead?
  • How did Loki get in to see Thor?
  • Stan Lee has a million jobs lol.
  • He looks like he should be yelling "THIS IS SPARTA".
  • WHY IS THE HULK THERE?!?
  • The host man is speechless. Baffled his warrior is failing.
  • Do we think that Banner even can resurface if he has been stuck as Hulk for that long?
  • It's the original gatekeeper guy!
  • How is he there but not there?
  • Aww, Black Widow got him to turn back.
  • Wow, 2 whole years as Hulk.
  • Aww, she lost her warrior sisters.
  • I don't think that was him trying to kill you Thor.
  • Just another spaceship? Could you even fly the other ship?
  • I thought they were going to steal 2 ships?
  • I can't tell if she is super strong or that ship has very weak pew pew control.
  • Why does it have to be called that?
  • Still can't determine if Loki is good or bad...
  • I guess they didn't pick the best ship for the trip?
  • I think I liked her other outfit better.
  • Well, that explains where the dog has been.
  • Did he just KO himself because he couldn't change into Hulk?
  • I really like how sweet and naive the rock guy's voice is. Fits his personality but not his appearance.
  • I just realized she took the same eye from both Thor and Odin.
  • She wanted them fireworks to go off behind her and create a scene, you can't tell me otherwise.
  • Uhoh, somebody go save Hulk!
  • That traitor is just casually hiding amongst the people on the plane.
  • Isn't he going to run out of bullets?
  • Is Hulk REALLY going to take out the fire demon in one swoop?
  • What about Loki?
  • Oh yeah, let's just go ahead and take over Earth with the Asgahds...
  • What the heck is that big ship?
  • I don't know why I was surprised to see that the trash planet and its people still existed.

Revisiting Some Click Games - Game Review Part 4

Hello friends, and welcome back to me reviewing some games so you don't have to. All of these games are on steam and if you would like to check them out, they are usually free, especially if it is a click game. I emailed minimap about the problem with not being able to sync Epic Games to track those achievements, along with all the other platforms, and they got back to me very quickly. They are hoping to have Epic Games back on the minimap this year, so I am quite excited for this to be a thing again. They also said they had it on the app a while ago, but it needed more work to be up to their standard. It's lovely to hear some really positive stuff from a company. So if you are a pc user using minimap, make sure to check where you connect your accounts every now and then to see if the button to connect Epic is there. Now the life update is over, I hope you enjoy the gaming reviews.

Click me harder - This game has very easy achievements because you can click the character in the middle, but I think you get bonuses for clicking the other characters (one on each side of the main). I managed to complete this game in 25 minutes. I probably could have done it quicker if I clicked the other characters more often. But 100 achievements are pretty cool, so I won't argue it would be cooler if you could change the character's appearance. I did make the character dance by buying the upgrades. There isn't much to this game, but it's free, and the 100 achievements are nice. 2.5/5

Ducks - Finished in 1 minute, I am quite proud I managed to get 1000 clicks so quickly, but if you try this too, please be careful you don't hurt yourself. My arm is achy now, but I would say it's worth it. 3 Achievements, but I think that's pretty good considering it's a free game. You can mute this game in the settings found in the top right. 4.5/5

Fish - Click the fish once, and that is all there is to the game, really. 5/5

My Name Is Mayo - Click games rarely have a storyline, but if you stop to read them, there is a story in there. This was made very well, shout out to you developers for smashing this. It is a little strange, but hey, 50 achievements are nothing to scoff at, and you can get this done in one session. It did take me a while to understand what I was doing, but it's not tricky, really. I wonder what condiment is next. 5/5

Tap Tap Loot - Each click you do = a step forward with your character. You fight enemies just by clicking, so any click with your mouse or clicks from your keyboard. Level up your character's look and hit power with the chests you unlock by completing each wave. You can get common, uncommon, epic, and legendary skins to really elevate the look of your character.  There is multiplayer, and there are 53 achievements to get. If you want all of the achievements, you will have to party up with some friends to unlock a few. It's a good game to leave running in the background, but it has been a little buggy recently when I have tried upgrading my gear. They will more than likely fix this small bug in the next update. 4.5/5

DUCKS - Just click the duck once, and there you are, you should get the achievement its pretty easy. My achievement didn't pop up until I closed the game. It also makes a sound when you click, but because it was only one click, I didn't look to see if you could mute it. 3/5

My Name Is Mayo 2 - This one is better than the first! There were games within the game, it had a nod to Flappy Bird, and there was one where you had to throw pizzas at people because it was part of the storyline that you were a delivery person. I also found out there is a third, so I will have to try that one and see if that's even better than this one, because I wasn't expecting the added aspect of these little games. I thought it was going to be like the first one, where you click the jar, and it gets different outfits, and that would be it. Well done, devs, you did it again! Looking forward to trying number 3. 5/5

Thank you so much for reading. I really hope you enjoyed having the few extra reviews. I didn't want it to be so short, and it didn't seem like it had all that much content, so I may have to do this again when the reviews are a little shorter. See you again in a week for a new blog post. Have a great rest of your day.
