Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Thor Dark World (2013)

 

While there were a number of twists and turns in the storyline, there really wasn't as much action as I have come to anticipate with the Marvel movies. That is the largest reason why I am rating this film a 3 out of 5 stars. The other reason, is I do not like being lied to on multiple occasions about characters dying. There are also a number of points where I am questioning many things in the storyline, such as what even is this dark elf magic referred to as ether, and how did it come to exist on Earth? Is it something like the Transformers, where it was sent here to keep it away from the evil doers, or was it lost here during the last gravitational universe lineup?

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Why are we starting with story telling from the dad again as if we are children once more? I thought father was kapoot?
• Not the dad telling Loki that he was meant to die and should therefore be greatful he is even alive let alone that he should become a king.
• Have the girls always been in the UK? I thought they were in the US?
• Sure, be guided around by a bunch of kids, nothing weird about that.
• Could this be considered paranormal activity by a ghost hunter?
• Ma'am, you were far too calm about whatever that Venom-like stuff was.
• The elf lord!
• Shouldn't he have noticed her go missing before that?
• Why is it only those in the gate thing aren't getting drenched in rain?
• SHE LITERALLY SAW HIM IN NEW YORK AND HE DIDN'T GO TO SAY A WORD TO HER
• Ooo, she has powers now, powers that protect her from others.
• How are you just going to leave your other people behind like that to get arrested?
• Oh, so now that it's something not of Earth, you care about her health, crazy.
• I don't understand, are the elves trying to hurt everyone or cause infighting amongst them?
• What did he sense? Why is he running... oh, there's an invisible ship.
• Why are the elves so evil?
• They are very agile in their ships.
• Also, Asgard makes me think of Oz.
• Shouldn't he have put that barrier up sooner?
• Oof, just as quickly as it went up, it is back down. They are screwed.
• How come the soldiers have horns that look similar to Loki's, but Thor, who is meant to be the next king, does not?
• How do they end up taking each other out to the point that there is a single soldier standing?
• What is it that he believes is his?
• Oh, the stuff that ended up inside the human girl!
• The viking funeral for the queen but not including the soldiers is wild, like they deserve some type of recognition dont they?
• Oh, nevermind, they all got a boat, it just wasn't visible at first.
• What are the orbs everyone else sent up?
• Poor Loki will not have anyone fighting in his corner now, how unfortunate.
• When did the Erik guy go full blown crazy?
• Not the cameo old guy being in the looney bin with him xD
• What does that dark power do in the hands of the elves? Why was the power taken away from them to begin with?
• What would the Avengers do if the ether had remained on Earth and the elves had gone there?
• With his hair down and wearing that cloak, Thor looks like he is a very tall Hobbit and belongs in the Lord of the Rings world.
• Y'know, if Loki wasn't so evil, he would be a real fun guy to hang around with, especially with his shape-shifting/mirage ability.
• I love how all of Thor's friends are making the same threat to Loki about betrayal.
• Why did she pass out?
• I don't think now is the time to fight boys...
• "There is nothing more reassuring than realizing that the world is more crazy then you."
• Is she gonna sacrifice herself for Thor?
• Does Thor regrow his hand? I assume he has it in the other Avenger movies...
• IT WAS A TRICK!
• Aww, Loki almost got sucked into the void.
• So, is it Thor that does the flying or does the hammer do the flying and Thor is just along for the ride?
• What's up with the masks the elves wear anyway?
• Wait, Loki dies?
• He didn't even try to bring the body of his brother into the cave with them; he won't get a proper funeral now.
• I am just as confused as Jane about the phone service working.
• Wow, people really trashed their car that fast, that's sad.
• So the ether isn't in her anymore? So she won't be losing her life?
• Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say the dark elves beat you there...
• Why are the dark elf ships so tall anyway?
• Oops, accidentally moved their friends.
• Do the Avengers get called to international battles?
• Did the fighter jets end up in China or in a different world?
• Big man felt super strong in that moment, lifting that car up to save her.
• Is dark elf ruler guy getting darker in color the closer to the convergence point we get?
• It's giving Twitches with the dark cloud that takes over everything.
• Did dark elf man get bigger?
• Did she really think she was going to be able to pull Thor out of the way?
• That's ironic; it fell through one of those portal anomalies.
• So if Thor is refusing to be king of Asgard, who will be the king when the current king passes?
• LOKI IS NOT DEAD! Did he kill the actual king to take his spot though?
• The tesseract is an infinity stone? But it's so big compared to a ring on the guy's hand...
• Is that supposed to be the ther inside the gold lantern box thing? How is that an infinity stone?
• Why does the collector want the infinity stones? Does everyone know of their power and want to take over?
• Did they just casually forget about this giant demon lizard dog running around the city?

Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Iron Man 3 (2013)

I swear I have seen this movie before, and yet, here I am watching this and not recognizing most of the content. For instance, when did he get PTSD? Or at least when did he admit that it was this bad? And when did he make all of those suits that showed up at the end of the movie? This was another film that seemed to keep the action relatively consistent, although there was a little bit of a slow point at the start when we are being shown what happened in the past and how that past is coming back around to bite them in the butt. I do really hope they decided to keep some of this storyline flowing in the newer movies (although SPOILER, I have been told that they do not). I do really enjoy the idea of Tony adopting this little boy in the garage in Tennessee and making him into a prodigy super genius and giving him everything he ever wants. He is amazing and adorable and so smart!

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Is this current or is this meant to be before he became Iron Man? Before. Got it.
• Wow, even back then Stark needed security because he was such a big wig, that is crazy.
• I understand the desire to upgrade his suit to include newer technology and perform better but why does he keep all the previous versions instead of just modifying the same one or two suits?
• HE HAD IT TOGETHER AND THEN THE LAST PIECE BROKE HIM ALL APART AGAIN XD
• Why are we trying to turn War Machine into Captain America? And where did the Aim group come from? Obviously, we saw that it existed in 2000 when Tony blew the guy off but where has it been since then?
• Dang, they've already been putting these brain modifiers into actual people... Doesn't seem to always go as planned though.
• Since when does Iron Man KO the people? I thought the point was to try and stop them, not KO them? 
• Why did he provide a California address to the media? I thought Stark Tower was in New York?
• Aww, he put the suit on to pepper to save her!
• Y'know, it's kind of surprising that somebody hasn't tried to take out his home sooner, seeing as how he is like a billionaire that throws tons of parties and whatnot.
• NOT THE ROBOTS!!!
• NOT ALL HIS SUITS!
• He pulled the whole suit behind him, wow.
• The kid used hamster cage parts to make a pew pew, wild.
• Y'know, the brunette is the one from the beginning but I thought that it was Pepper and that Pepper just changed her hair color... that's my bad.
• It's interesting how the bad guys ended up in the same town as Tony, almost as if he was on to something. Why did they want the files though? Not Stark, the bad guy.
• Why is this guy targeting the US? Is it because of the superheroes?
• Wait, wait, wait, the brunette lady isn't turning over a new leaf as a good guy like we thought? How rude.
• Stark had better give this kid some type of scholarship, internship, or something when he gets older.
• Stark running around in the black sweats makes him seem like an unruly teenager who wants to graffiti the wall of his high school
• Wait, so the videos being broadcast are in the States? They made it seem like an international thing...
• She really broke pretty easily with saving Tony... Is she gonna kaboom if she takes that medicine?
• What happened to the 13-year-old she claimed was in the car with her toward the beginning too?
• I thought they wanted the suit for him to wear, doesn't cutting it off kind of defeat that purpose? As does melting it off him...
• HE HAS FIRE BREATH?!?
• It's kind of cool how smoothly he can still move, even with just one arm cannon and one leg piece.
• Did they really think they were gonna get through that metal suit with their hand pistols?
• Why not just take it down? Why make holes in it instead?
• Oof, didn't see that truck coming, huh?
• OOO THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T ACTUALLY DIE!
• Where did all these suits come from? I thought all of his went into the ocean? And I don't remember him having that many...
• Tony is a hero even without his suit.
• SHE DIES?!? TF! WHO IS GONNA BE SPIDERMANS MOM NOW!
• Why are there twinkle lights on this iron rig?
• I keep waiting for her to magically rematerialize in a suit or something.
• SHE DIDN'T DIE!
• She should be an avenger too lol
• "You're in a relationship with me, everything is never gonna be okay".
• Aww, he fixes himself for her!
• AWWWWW HE DID UP THE KIDS' GARAGE FOR HIM!
• Why is he trying to make the Hulk his therapist?

Gaming Reviews - Idle Games

Hello, and welcome back to another gaming reviews post. I realised in my last one that all of the games I chose were very positive, and I didn't say that they aren't all going to be like that. I hope you are having the best week so far. I am just going to jump right into this. 

Knock - This game is okay. I mostly installed it because I wanted the achievements. Sometimes, I like to play click games when I am watching a show, so I have a game up on one screen and a movie or series on the other. This was not a game I could do while watching anything because every click made a knock sound, and yes, that's the name of the game, but I expected the button in the bottom left corner to turn off all sound, not just background sound. I am not a quitter, though, so I had to get all of the achievements before uninstalling the game. There was a creepy dude who popped up at the end after getting all the achievements, and the screen went black. I thought my pc was crashing; it might have had sound, but I had my speakers muted. If I were to go back in time knowing what I know, I probably wouldn't play this again, but hey, an extra 11 achievements towards my 5000 goal for this year, I will take it. 2.5/5

Firestone Idle Clicker - This game, I didn't have high hopes going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised with how many people are happy to answer your questions starting out. Even if you think it's a stupid question to ask, ask it. You never know, someone else may have been wanting to ask it too. The mods are wonderful. I did come into contact with some less-than-friendly people; more often than not, the mods catch it before you do. Join a fellowship (fs) and a guild, level up your characters, fight battles with both your characters and war machines, play cards at the tavern, and more.  I started this game one day after a friend tried it, and I must say it's a pretty good find. It reminds me of DND (Dungeons and Dragons), but it's fully online, and a lot less effort goes into it. I don't think there is a storyline, but I have had a great time meeting new people. Beware of the people adding you as friends and immediately asking for your Discord; they are a bit of a problem, but other than that its a great game. It's also on mobile too! 4.5/5

Burger - A free game on Steam where you just click to make a burger, 21 achievements to get for those achievement hunters. Since it is their 2nd anniversary, they brought in a second burger, so you may be able to complete it more quickly. I am still a little ways off, but I kind of forget about this game sometimes. Feed the cat, don't click B on a controller (Xbox), and don't click your scroll wheel or your right click (I can't remember if it's both, but just be on the safe side). If you do click one of these buttons, you might reset all your clicks. I did this no less than 3 times. If you are forgetful like me, maybe don't play or write a note because so much of my hard work (Just clicking) went to waste. Other than that, I like this game its kind of nice to sometimes have the crickets chirping in the background, but you can mute it in the top right corner. 4.5/5

Banana - 76 Achievements to get from clicking on one single banana. You can change the skin of your banana. Around Christmas, they have an Advent calendar where you can get some extra skins. You can trade up 10 skins of the same rarity for something else, just like Bongo Cat, if you have tried that game. It's pretty simple, but I don't understand the drops, and I will need to commit to this one more often if I want to 100% it. 3.5/5

I believe all of these games are free on Steam if you want to try them out for yourself, and there may be some content from these games already on my channel or popping up soon if you would like to see some visuals. Thank you so much for reading. I hope you found something you would like to try, and I will be back the week after next with another gaming review.
