Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Daredevil (2003)

 

I don't know why I have never seen this movie. My parents owned it on DVD. I just never watched it. And what makes even less sense is that I have seen Elektra, and I LOVED Elektra going up (along with other movies such as Charlie's Angels and Kill Bill), but I didn't even know that this had a similar combative skill to it, let alone that Elektra was LITERALLY involved in this film. You best believe that my boyfriend and I will have to do a couples costume of these two at some point in our lives.

I love the use of different audio and visual jumps that the movie utilizes to show us how we have a different perception of reality than the main character does. I hate, however, how some of the motions you can clearly see are done with fake doubles or are manipulated to appear differently than how they could and would have actually happened with real people. Not much can be expected of that, though, as even modern technology still has some of those limitations.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Putting the credits in braille and then having it switch to the actual letters is cool, and a nice hint at the main character being blind, but does it actually help anyone? The blind can't see the braille on the screen.
• So we don't actually get to see him get his powers?
• Oh, we get a backstory, never mind.
• He wasn't always blind?
• Ah, he went blind from the chemicals, that's also how he got his powers.
• I know he can hold his own, but isn't it wrong to bully a disabled person?
• That's so stupid that they killed his dad because he refused to lose a match on purpose.
• Does he reset those walkways on the side of the building each day, or is it just a coincidence they were there where he chose to take off from lol
• The way they go back and forth between, but we would hear, and what he hears is both cool and annoying all at the same time.
• Being blind does give him a good excuse not to be accused of the crimes, even if he should be a suspect for being involved in the court cases.
• So why does he have multiple costumes and weapons? Are they different, or just in case one gets messed up?
• Where did she get her defense skills?
• OH SHE IS ELEKTRA! I totally didn't recognize her!
• Using the rain to see her is crazy cool.
• I wouldn't have thought you could use smoke to see, but sure, I guess anything makes noise when it touches a surface if you have super hearing.
• How does she not realize that, while yes, it is his weapon/tool, he is not the one who caused her father's death?
• I want to see a fight between Elektra and Laura Croft.
• How come the dagger thing can cut through the front of her outfit and her whole body, but not through her pleather outfit afterwards?
• Oof, offering tray to the jugular has gotta hurt something fierce.
• It's gotta be some type of sin to break stained glass windows of a church.
• What kind of ammunition goes cleanly through both hands and a wooden candlestick?
• What's crazy is this isn't even really a superhero movie so much as it is just an action-packed movie.
• WAIT. ELEKTRA ISN'T ACTUALLY DEAD??

Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Spiderman (2002)

This movie is not new to me; I saw it many times growing up. If any of the Spider-Man movies were to be a first-time experience for me, it would be any pick from the Tom Holland collection, as I have not seen them yet. Because of that, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield have been my only two for comparison, and I have always preferred Tobey.

While a comparison of this film to a modern film may show where it is lacking in cinematic skills and character, it was one of the best of its time. Showing many fine details, such as reflecting hard choices in the eyes of the characters. If there was one thing I had to say was wrong with the movie, it would be that it takes the characters far too long to come to realizations, such as Peter not fully recognizing who the Green Goblin really was. But that is not the fault of the director; that is the fault of the author who chose to make it that way. And this is not the first time a story has had that involvement; many stories possess clueless main characters who can not see the truth until it's too late.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Not him stealing Peter's line about camouflage to impress the girl ... not once but twice.
• Oh, I didn't realize the spider that bit Peter was genetically mutated; I thought it was just radioactive from the lab or something.
• I also never realized that the spider that bit him was red and blue in color; now it makes sense where he got his outfit colors from.
• He couldn't even make it onto his bed, which is crazy considering he made it all the way home and up to his room.
• Should it really have only taken him one day to get over the sickness?
• The glasses really did make him look like a dork.
• Why does the banner sticking to his hand make him look like he suddenly knows what is going on? It could have just been glue or tape.
• I love that most of the people don't care how or why Peter suddenly is super cool and standing up for himself; they just like that he turned hot essentially; his friends are the only ones that actually care that he is okay.
• Why is his first thought to try climbing a wall and then jumping across the roofs?
• He has too much faith in his powers before truly knowing what he can even do.
• He forgot about poor Uncle Ben and painting, for shame.
• He doesn't need to get mad at Uncle Ben like that; he just cares about him, is all.
• The guy killing Uncle Ben is what really made Spider-Man a hero; before that, he probably would've just used it for small stuff, not catching criminals.
• It is, however, unfortunate to think that if he had just stopped that crook from the beginning instead of letting him take the elevator, he may not have KO'd Uncle Ben at all.
• I feel like there's a lot of filler with them graduating and going to New York.
• What is it with companies thinking they can just vote out the creators?? I don't understand why we give other people the ability to own more of our business than us. He had the right to become a villain, to be honest.
• Why are there 4 of them ganging up on MJ?
• Sure, let's let the Spiderman that you were about to arrest go into the collapsing building that you won't even let your firemen into, and plan on arresting him after. Like what?
• You know, you would think he would have had time to wrap his wound if he had time to get changed.
• Taking out Aunt Mae after he has already lost Uncle Ben is diabolical.
• Showing the two options falling in his eyes was a very well-done cinematic choice.
• There is NO way she would have been able to stay attached to that cable.
• Sometimes, the way the Green Goblin talks makes me think of them Italian mob bosses.
• I never realized you could see the Green Goblins' real mouth through the mesh of the mask ... why does he bear his teeth like that?
• Wait. How did Peter not realize that the Green Goblin was Mr. Osbourne? I thought he figured it out when he realized that the Green Goblin knew who he was.
• Y'know, it's really hard to understand why Harry blames Spider-Man for his father's death when his father was the literal villain.
• He doesn't know that, though, at least not yet.
• You hear about guys getting friend-zoned a lot, but the girl getting friend-zoned is something else.

Gaming Reviews?

Hello friends, and welcome to another post. I hope you are having a great day so far. I wanted to write about an app that I found for mobile recently, it's called minimap, and you can track all of your achievements on there as long as you link your accounts. I will say I have emailed the team asking why there isn't a button to connect to Epic Games, because I am loving the graphs it uses to show you how many achievements you have gained. 

If you are an achievement hunter trying to beat your all time record of achievements this is for you, it lets you post all of your achievements and there is a section where you can write reviews about the games that you play so I am thinking maybe I will do about 4 game reviews in one blog post so it isn't so short but you get to see what I have been up to before it comes out on my YouTube channel or even after a stream. I will start off with the few core games I love, and I will try to keep this as neat as I humanly can. If you do check out minimap, if you would like to drop me a follow, my username is LillyLeather420 YT. 

I know my life isn't filled with a lot of new experiences, but I am more of a home person. I don't like to leave my safe zone, but I do really like trying different games out, so much so that I could not tell you what types of games are my favourite. I do know what games I gravitate to, but only in the title sense, not a category. These reviews will be in no particular order. 

Dead by Daylight - I have over 1000 hours in this game because it is so good. I started on Xbox and then moved to Steam. Don't get me wrong, there are some not-so-great people who play this game, and they can be horrible in end-game chat. There are people who full-on troll whilst playing, but they play how they want to play, and you can play how you want to play. Your game style may upset other people, but as long as it isn't a reportable offence, you should be fine. I have met many great people whilst playing, and that is a giant part of why I continue to play. Because you meet those lovely people who want to farm with you, or you have a funny moment. It's really great to connect with people. I do wish they would have end game chat for Xbox, switch and PlayStation users, but hopefully they will bring that in in the future. Play on your own or with friends. I find myself taking breaks from it and coming back to it all the time. Can't wait for new killers and survivors, and 2v8 is my all-time favourite game mode, so I always love it when that comes back. 4.5/5

ASKA - This game is stunning visually. I streamed it and even played off-stream; I was that addicted to it. It is hard to play on your own, and there is definitely a learning curve. The first winter, I kept dying over and over, so I am a little traumatised anytime winter rolls around, but you just have to be prepared, and I really wasn't. I don't want to scare people away from this game because it is genuinely one of my favourites. I do recommend playing with friends because it will be easier. I think you can play with 4 people. The blood moons can be a little tricky, but if you just follow what the wisps tell you to, you should be fine. I love that there is a fishing aspect because fishing games can be some of the most chilled games, so it's nice to just choose to fish while you let your villagers chop trees, gather food and rocks, build a train and protect the base. You can never have enough flax. If you think it's enough, you are wrong. Get more. You will find you need it for crafting just about everything. Exploring is amazing, and I haven't even gotten into building the ships and sailing across the ocean to new islands. I cannot wait until I am at that point. 5/5

Bongo Cat - This little pixel cat has motivated me so many times to write YouTube descriptions or blog posts and now reviews because I want to be able to open the chests. I will never run out of clicks. It's almost the mentality that most people have for Pokémon, but instead of gotta catch 'em all, it's gotta collect all the skins and hats. You can dress your little typing companion anyway you want, and you can have your friends on the screen too. There are achievements for all you achievement hunters out there.  Try it cause why not its free, and I think you will find you quite like it, sitting in the corner of your screen. I love mine so much. 5/5

Minecraft - I spent a lot of my time before becoming more of a social game player playing Minecraft. I love the updates they bring out regularly. It's nice that a game that is quite old still has people thinking about it. So many great people are in the Minecraft community and actually make a living off this one game all on its own. Your only limit in this is your imagination; you don't have to be creative to play it, though. You can play at your own pace, go exploring, tend to crops, look after your own animals, raid temples, and battle enemies. I see why people love it so much. I love it so much. Build and create or destroy its up to you what you do. Invite your friends to worlds and share in the caving experiences. You might argue that the game has everything, and it genuinely might. 5/5

Thank you so much for reading. I really hope you like my reviews. I may be able to get these out every other week, but when I run out of games I have tried, they will be fewer and farther between. Have a great rest of your day, and I will be back with another post in a week. :)
