Nightmare Alley Review

 

Nightmare Alley Review 

So I saw Nightmare Alley on Saturday and heres my review of it...This movie was really good. Like this film is so crazy and there are so many twist turns in this film. The film is actually a remake of old film from 1947 based on a thriller crime novel from the 40s. The film follows Stan who works at the circus whose down on his luck until he becomes a mentalist. The film is directed by the great Guillermo Del Toro and he does a great job in making this film. Like there are some twist turns in this film that will shock you and there is stuff that will make you go I did not see that coming. The cast in the film all do a great job like Bradley Cooper, Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Ron Perlman, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, and Toni Collette. This film is really intense but its really good if you like thrillers you will like this film a lot. I give this film a solid B.   

Spiderman No Way Home Review

 

My Review of Spiderman No Way Home.

So I saw Spiderman No Way Home, and here is my review of it...I loved it. This is one of the best Spiderman films I've seen right next to Spider-Verse. After three bad MCU films this year with Black Widow, Shang Chi, and The Eternals. We finally got something good from Marvel unless you count the shows, and this film is worth watching. 

The film picks up right where the last movie ended, everyone knows Peter Parker is Spiderman, and his life is now more brutal. Everyone he loves lives is just horrible. So he goes to Dr. Strange to help him, but it backfires. The film brings back classic Spiderman film villains like Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Sandman, Lizard, and Electro, and it is really cool seeing them again and played by the same actors. 

The visuals of the films and the special effects were excellent as well the action scenes were good too. This film is full of action and some really insane visuals, too. This film is crazy.

I like the romance between Spidey and MJ.

The cast in this film does a great job like Tom, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Thomas Hadden Church, Jamie Fox, and Rhys Ifans. Everyone does a great job, and the characters are all fantastic too.  

Like the villains, I loved Willem Dafoe's performance as the Green Goblin and Alfred Molina's Doc Ock. They finally made Electro good because he was awful in Amazing Spiderman 2, making him a better character. I liked Sandman and Lizard, but they were more like secondary villains.

It was great to see these characters again and the original actors playing them.

I really enjoy Peter's story in this film and am so happy he wasn't sidelined like Shang Chi and Black Widow was. I also liked how Peter really grows up in this film, and we see this film takes a more mature approach. This is one of the best Spiderman films I have seen. This movie is on the same level as Spider-Verse because it feels more like a Spiderman film where they're not betraying as Iron Man Jr. Now I loved the idea of Tony being a mentor to Spiderman. Still, I feel like he should remember Tony's teachings not being the next Iron Man but to honor him by being the hero he wanted him to be.

I really enjoyed this film. I was blown away by this film, and this film does give off Endgame vibes. I give this Spiderman film a 9 out of 10. I really enjoyed this film, and I highly recommend this film it's worth seeing.  If I had to rank it on my list, I would make it number 2 now. 

SPOILERS.

Now here are spoilers in this review, so I'm just going to reveal some spoilers. Don't look if you don't want to spoil; I'm giving everyone here a warning. 

So in the film, we have Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil but just for a cameo. 

Charlie Cox has been confirmed as the MCU Daredevil, which is great to have him back. I really hope for a Daredevil tv series season 4 and a team-up film with Spiderman.

I would love nothing more than to see a Spiderman and Daredevil team-up movie.

Besides, Peter Parker should have a prominent brother figure in his life, and Daredevil is the perfect guy for the job.

Tobey and Andrew are in the film, and to be honest, we all knew they were. Both of them do a great job playing Spiderman again. It's excellent seeing Tobey again. Like hasn't made anything in a while. It just feels great seeing him again. Andrew was great, too they kind of picked up right where they left off in Amazing Spiderman 2 with his character. Seeing all three of Spidermen together was amazing when Tobey showed up; I clapped with joy; I was so happy my childhood Spiderman was back. I was also glad Andrew got another chance to play Spiderman in a good Spiderman film, same with Tobey too.

I love the dialogue and chemistry between these three actors. My favorite moment was when Tom's Spiderman says, "I was part of the Avengers." Tobey says, "Yeah, the Avengers." Andrew says, "That's great." Then the two of them are like, what are the Avengers. Tom's like you don't have the Avengers in your universe. Andrew responds with, "Are you in a rock band." I just love that scene. 

I hope we will get another Spiderman film with Tobey and Andrew because they need another solo film. 

They did something we have not seen in a Spiderman film in film: they killed off Aunt May. This is the first Spiderman film to kill Aunt May off. Thus Peter has no family, and it's sadder in the end too. 

RIP Hot Aunt May.

She also says the famous quote Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.  
 

The ending of the film is bittersweet. They save the day, but Peter has Dr. Strange cast the spell for everyone to forget who he is, but the downside is everyone will forget Peter Parker. It's a darker twist from the infamous One More Day Story Arc where people forgot Peter was Spiderman, but he didn't lose his friends or superhero friends. 

I found it sad when he said goodbye to Ned and MJ, especially that part and, of course, Tobey and Andrew. 

At the end of the film, Peter is now living alone, and he is wearing his classic suit they are phasing out of the Iron Man Jr. 

The mid-credit scene is with Venom, but he goes back to his universe, leaving behind a little symbiote. So that means one thing the next Spiderman film will have Venom in the future, so we might meet the MCU Eddie Brock. Although disappointing, we won't see Tom and Tom fight because that would have been really cool.

So that's my review of Spiderman No Way Home. Let me know what you think, and please see it. 

My Top Eight Favourite American Dad Christmas Episodes

 

My Top Eight American Dad Christmas Episodes.

So for Christmas, everyone is my top eight favorite American Dad Christmas episodes and I got to tell you American Dad has made some of the best Christmas episodes ever. So here are my favorite site American Dad Christmas Episodes. 

8. Dreaming of a White Porsche 

Now, this American dad episodes parody It's a Wonderful Life where Stan wishes he was single and he switches lives, Principal Lewis. Now because of this Stan sees Lewis in his life and he tries to set things back to normal but it backfires on Stan. Stan then sees a world he has the family he always wanted a beautiful wife who he never fights with, a nonliberal/activist daughter, and a son who plays football and is athletic. However, in this reality, he's a bad dad Stan. In the end,d Stan gets his family back and he shows how much he loves them and he wouldn't trade them for anything. I liked this episode to mean this is my least favorite episode of American Dad Christmas specials. Still, this one is good and pretty funny of an episode.

7. Santa, Schmanta 

This American Dad episode is basically Roger is fed up with how Christmas is more popular than Hanukkah. So Roger basically steals Santa's suit and becomes Schmanta and he makes Hanukkah the best holiday but he ruins what Hanukkah is about. So the Smiths try to stop him because they respect the holiday but Roger is only doing this because no one will see his dance move. I know it's funny and this episode is pretty good too but I wouldn't say it's the best one though. 

6. Best Christmas Story Never Told.

This was the first American Dad Christmas episode and I got to tell ya it's a funny one. In this Stan is not happy Christmas is their favorite holiday but a lot of people like liberals find it to be offensive for his religious background. So Stan loses his Christmas spirit and is visited by the ghost of Christmas past but Stan realizes he's back in 1970 when Jane Fonda was making the oscar-winning film Klute. So he decides to kill Jane Fonda. However, eventually learns Donald Sutherland is the one who got her into politics and he tries to kill him. However, he is stopped by the ghost and Francine but it turns out Stan changed the past because everything is now Communist all because he stopped Martin Scorsese never made Taxi Driver. It's a really funny idea on what would happen if Regan never won the election its a pretty funny episode. As well I love how Roger gets a tape of Disco's greatest hits and in thee, and he loses it all because of bad investments.  This is a good Christmas special to watch and you got Phoebe from Friends as the voice of the Christmas spirit. 

5. The Most Adequate Christmas Ever. 

Now, this is an episode I like a lot because in this episode Stan dies and goes to heaven but has to prove he deserves a second chance. So he goes to court heaven but he gets a bad lawyer but she wants to get her wings. I find this episode really funny and where Stan realizes he's not always right, he thinks he knows best but in truth, he doesn't. One of the funniest moments of this episode is when Stan is going to give his kidney to a homeless because of Steve and it turns out it was a dream. Stan goes to Steve's room and yells "Why would I give my kidney to a bum! Stay out of my dreams!" he walks out and destroys Steve's star trek ship. It was so funny I was laughing so hard. This episode is really funny and teaches us we don't know what's best and we could screw up.

4. Minister Krampus 

I love the Krampus episode because it's what introduced me to Krampus and apparently he's a folklore Christmas who punishes naughty children. However, in this twist, Krampus actually loves kids and is just trying to set them straight and be good kids while Santa who is the bad guy, he spoils kids for money even though kids don't buy toys. In the episode, Steve acts like a spoiled brat so Stan learns that his dad captured Krampus and he's trapped in a pot. Stan realizes his dad was right and frees Krampus to scare Steve straight but Krampus kidnaps Steve and now Stan has to rescue him. In the episode, it turns out that Krampus isn't a bad guy and this episode also redeems Jack Smith's Stan's dad because he realizes how important family is. This is a good episode also it had Danny Glover as Krampus. 

3. Season Beatings 

Now, this episode I love to watch, especially the scene where Stan beats up Roger and he's dressed Santa Claus and Roger is dressed up as Jesus. I laugh so hard at the scene because the way Stan beats up Roger and shouts out "You don't deserve to be on that cross you lazy wine-loving bisexual!" is just brilliant. of that action Stan is kicked out of Christianity and the only way to get back is either find the holy grail, kill antichrist, or donate millions of dollars to charity. Stan finds out his adoptive grandson is the antichrist and he has to kill him to get back in and to save the world. However, Haley doesn't want that because she loves Nemo despite him being the antichrist. This episode is really funny especially when Roger is super positive Rolling Chang. This is a funny Christmas episode to watch. 

2. Rapture Delight 

Look at this poster this is epic and let me tell you this whole episode was just epic it felt like an actual apocalyptic film. In this episode, Stan and Francine are left below during the rapture except for Haley and Steve. Stan blames her because they had sex in church and she leaves him for Jesus. I know Jesus and Francine become a couple. This episode had good action, really funny moments like when Roger meets Jesus and Jesus says "An alien, one of my father's side projects." Roger tries to attack him. That was funny and that line Roger says "Wait this bible stuff is real!?! All right someone calls Mel Gibson and apologizes." This is such a fun episode and I love how at the end of the episode Stan kept his wedding ring and Francine's to show he regrets what he did and he still loves her very much. Then of course by the end, after they kill the Anti Christ and Stan dies he goes to heaven. He reunites with his family and it's a good ending. You know after this episode this has led fans to believe that Stan is actually dead and he's in his own heaven for the rest of the series. 

1. For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls.

To me, this is the best American Dad Christmas Episode why because Steve kills a mall Santa. After this Stan tries to find the mall Santa but he has no records so the whole family buries him in the middle of the woods. After that, they find letters to them that are death threats and realize that wasn't a mall Santa that was actually Santa Claus. Santa Claus is trying to kill them its a really funny take that in this version Santa Claus is a bad guy and he wants to kill the Smiths. Roger of course meets a redneck who gives him the strongest whisky in the world and they hide out with him and Jeff comes to join even though Stan hates him. Jeff accidentally wrote to Santa where they were to deliver their presents. This episode deals with Stan and Jeff because he hates Jeff but we see him eventually accepting Jeff as a member of the family. Even though Jeff admits he hates Stan just as much as he does. The episode was really gritty, violent, and it's really funny too. To me, this is the best American Dad Christmas Episode to watch. 

Happy Holidays to all my friends and I hope you all have a safe holiday.

  

 
  

My Idea for a Superman Game

 

(Google Image)

My Idea for a Superman video game

So for the first time ever, I'm presenting my idea for a Superman game that is long overdue. I know for a fact there have been Superman games that were shit, especially the infamous 64...ugh. The only good Superman game is the Injustice games where he is a villain.

Now we've gotten tons of Batman games in the past, and they've been excellent well, some have issues but still, we have had lots of great Batman games. Especially with the upcoming Gotham Knights game. 

 

It was announced that a Wonder Woman video game is now being made by the creators of Shadow of Mordor, which is cool, and my sister is excited about it. I'll give it play, too, when it comes out. 

Now what we need is a Superman game, a good Superman game. Thus the Trinity is complete. The Trinity is Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.  Like we need a good Superman game that is fun, exciting, a good story, good combat, and good characters too. There have been countless rumors of a Superman game in the works from Rocksteady or WB Games so many rumors, but nothing is confirmed. Why is it so hard to make a game about this character???

Here are my ideas for a Superman game.

6. An Open-World Game but primarily set in Metropolis.

The game needs to be the open-world, but we explore mostly Metropolis. Like we would see the Daily Planet or Lex Corp, the game should include side quests too, to give Superman's level up his powers like in Arkham games. I mean, flying around Metropolis would be really fun in the game, and the idea of being Superman is a fun idea for anyone. Also, one of the God of War developers mentioned if he made a Superman, he would include the idea that Superman would have random rescue missions where you have to go save people, but if you don't do anything, those people end up hurt or dead. So in the game, there would be random rescues like in the Spiderman games. When you explore Metropolis, the map will tell you if people are in danger because Superman's super senses help him find out who's in trouble. So, the game would include side quests and random quests because it would better level up Superman against super threats. 

5. Superman's villains he would fight in the game and who's the game's main villain. 

Now Superman has a good amount of rogues in his gallery of villains. I would suggest going with eight villains to do battle with and at least two side villains for side quest missions or a DLC. For the main villain of the game, I would go with Brainiac; in the game, Brainiac takes over Metropolis, and seven of Superman's enemies are working with Brainiac. The game would also have Lex Luthor, but Lex would work with Superman to stop Brainiac. I would set up Lex Luthor as the villain in the next round. The villains I would have as bosses would be Parasite, Livewire, Atomic Skull, Bizarro, Metallo, Silver Banshee, and Toyman. It would be Mr. Mxyzptlk and the Prankster for a side quest villains. If you complete the side missions, you get a perfect reward and defeat Prankster and Mr. Myxyzplk. 

4. Superman's supporting cast.

Now Superman's supporting cast would be in the game like Lois Lane would be a supporting character. She would help Superman in the game by informing them of what's going on in the city, and she knows Clark is Superman and the two are married. Jimmy would play a supporting role as Superman's biggest fan, and he would adventure out to help Superman what's going on in the city. In the game, Superman's base is the Daily Planet, 's the home base in the game after Brainiac takes over the city. Now Supergirl, Superboy, Steel, Superwoman, and Krypto would not be in the game, but I would include the characters in future games, and also we would see the Fortress of Solitude in a future game. Just keep the game small, and the next round, we would see more Superman family and the Fortress of Solitude. 

3. The style of the game.

The game should be a third-person perspective, as well the game includes level-ups for certain powers like Superman's laser eyes, super strength, flight, speed, ice breath, keen senses, unbreakable skin, and fighting style. Also, health and stamina would increase automatically after every level up.  

The game would also be open world with main missions side missions that would help increase your level against Superman villains you would face. The game would also have random pop-up tasks like rescuing some people or stopping some criminals. That's how I think the game's style should be. Look at the Batman Arkham Games and the Spiderman game from 2018. Look at those games for influence. 

 

2. The story of the game. 

The game's story would be like I mentioned Brainiac takes over Metropolis. This happens after the first because the first mission is Superman saving Lois, Jimmy, and even Lex Luthor from Toyman, and we learn how to play Superman in the first mission. 

We also see Clark dealing with many things in his life, like his job and relationship with Lois in the game. Lois knows Clark is Superman already, and they're married too.  In the video game, Brainiac comes to earth. Superman is here to save the day, but Brainiac is prepared for Superman; he captures Superman places these six yellow crystals that are actually gold kryptonite. It depowers him and takes away his powers except for his unbreakable skin, and jumps really high. That happens because Lex actually saves him before Brainiac can take away his remaining forces, and Lex takes him to the Daily Planet where Lois and Jimmy are.  

Before you, this happens before you do the primary mission, you can still explore Metropolis and do some side quests before you do the main story. Because you will still have Superman's central powers until he loses them. 

Superman will lose his powers in the game, except as I mentioned, he's still bulletproof, and he can jump high, and that's it. In the game, it's about you helping Superman regain his powers because his rogues were given six of each golden kryptonite that contains Superman's powers such as laser eyes, flight, super strength, speed, ice breath, and super senses. 

In the game, Superman would have help from Lois, Jimmy, and even Lex Luthor agreed to work with Superman to stop Brainiac. In the game, you battle with Brainiac's robots and criminals infected and controlled by Brainiac.

The bosses have six of the golden kryptonite containing the rest of Superman's powers: Parasite has laser eyes, Bizzaro has speed, Livewire has ice breath, Silver Banshee has super senses, Atomic Skull super strength and Metallo has flight. So the whole game is about Superman getting his powers back. However, also it's about Clark wondering can he still be Superman without his powers, to which Lois tells him at the end of the game that he will always be Superman no matter what, even if he didn't have his powers. As the game would reveal that Brainiac has a city from Krypton that he took before its destruction, we learn more about Krypton's history. Including we would have Superman remember his parents back in Smallville. 

Toyman would be the first boss because he's the first enemy to fight in the game's opening. The following villains would be Parasite as the second boss, Livewire as the third boss, Silver Banshee as the fourth boss, Bizzaro as the fifth boss, Atomic Skull as the sixth boss, Metallo as the seventh boss, and finally Brainiac as the final boss in the game. 

 

 

1. What the game's sequel would lead into. 

If this was a success, the next game would have General Zod as the big bad guy in the next round, but also Lex Luthor would also be a complete villain. We see at the end of the game Lex creating a clone of Superman, a younger version of him named Connor as well Kara would be revealed at the end of the game as Brainiac had her captured in a capsule and Superman frees he learns she is his cousin from Krypton.  As well the first game is just set in Metropolis because its best to have the fun small and in the next one, we explore more of the open-world like we go to Smallville, Gotham, West City, and there are so many ideas of the places we go to in the next game. Also, the next game would have you play not just as Superman but also as Superboy and Supergirl. I would include complete DLCs for those two characters and the characters of Steel and Lana Lang, aka Superwoman. 

So that's my idea for a Superman game. Let me know what you think. What do you want to see in a Superman game? I'm just giving my thoughts out on how to make a Superman game. 

Also, I would call this game Superman: Depowered, and I would have Tim Daily or George Newman voice Superman. I mean, why not Kevin Conroy voice Batman in all three Arkham games.
