We're skipping forward a bit here, purely because of what people believe to be cannon, what is and isn't in the MCU. When The Avengers was about to come out, I heard people saying that there wasn't a Hulk movie, that The Avengers was going to be the first Hulk movie for the Cinematic Universe... that's not completely true. Say hello to the only Hulk movie in the MCU: The Incredible Hulk.

First Impressions: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Thought I'd forget?
One day, every year, there is what's known as Star Wars Day, May the 4th. Did you think I wasn't going to save a new Star Wars movie discussion for today? So finally, after waiting a decade since the last live action film, fans are being treated with Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. And I think its about time I properly joined into the discussion.
M.M.M: Hulk... NOT THE POODLE
This is pretty much going to be a month of M's. All the movies have the M rating to them, but for right now, M means Marvel. Now that Avengers: Age of Ultron is upon us, its time to see just how the Marvel's Cinematic Universe started out. We're going to be looking at the first three phases of the MCU in what I call, the Marvel Movie Marathon, or M.M.M for short. Now before I begin, I will not be covering Guardians of the Galaxy in this marathon, I'll save it for when I review Phase 3 and 4. Also, unlike what was said in the last review, as it was changed after that review was recorded, I won't be covering Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D here either, I want to dedicate more time to it then what I have at the moment.
Now, the ones paying attention would noticed I wrote "first three phases", but referred to Phase 3 and 4 separately. The reason: unofficially, there's a phase 0. I'll get to why later, but for now, time to review the, unofficially, first film in the MCU: Hulk.

A video on random tangents, and maybe a review of Pokmeon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team
Late last year, someone I met on Twitter asked if she could join in for this review. Now to those who may be asking, "How do you convey two people in a text review?", my answer would be badly/almost impossible if you saw my review of the five Ace Attorney games (trust me, it works better as a script). So, a new solution was made, and what you are about to see is the first ever Video Review on this site.

First Impressions: Raiders of the Lost Arcade... I mean Pixels
So the trailer for Pixels came out recently, a movie about what would happen if Arcade classics like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man were to come to life and attack humanity. You see, aside from the visuals, by that I mean the animation for the game characters, which do look good, everything else is pretty much copied and pasted from a Futurama mini episode called Raiders of the Lost Arcade, found inside the episode Anthology of Interest II. The entire post can be summed up as that one sentence, nothing else needs to be said. The only other thing is that its a Adam Sandler movie, so expect one or two good jokes and a lot of bad/ dumb ones. If you want to watch Pixels, I'm calling this now, watch Raiders of the Lost Arcade as it'll probably be better. Up next: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team

Opening Impressions/ Season 1 (and some of 2) Review: The Batman: Why? Because he's the Batman
Even before the Nolan films had come out, I highly doubt I’ll be able to
go up to anyone, ask them if they’ve heard of Batman and not get a Yes in some
form. While this may not be recent, it’s a great way to introduce the other
aspect of Opening Impressions, it’s not limited to currently airing seasons,
just what I’m currently watching and I’ve got something to say on the matter,
so... The Batman.

Opening Impressions: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 5. Horses, Cults and repetitive arcs.
I did put this up as a Strawpoll, something that will be a
common thing for stuff like this. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 5.
If you’ve read the review of the last four season, then you’ll know what I’m
going to say, nothing much has changed. But to be fair, by the fifth season,
the only thing that’s going to change is the situations. At time of writing,
all I’ve seen is the first three episodes, a two parter that introduces a new
villain, and a world building episode.

First Impressions: LEGO Dimensions
Toys to games has always been a model I’ve been very
cautious of. The idea is simple enough, pay for a special figure that has an
RFID chip in its base, place the figure on some sort of reader and play as that
character in the game itself, a sort of “Physical DLC” if you would. Currently,
there are three franchises that use this model, Skylanders which focuses on
Spyro esque creatures, Disney Infinity which is what happens when you combine
Garry’s Mod, Disney and Skylanders and finally Nintendo’s amiibo, which are
designed to work across multiple game franchises to unlock small things in the
individual games like costumes, weapons, sparing partners, ect. Out of the
three, I do have to admit, while at times to hard to actually find, the amiibo
are the best executed so far. To me, it feels like I’m forced to pay for the
characters I may only use once. Skylanders figures are limited to Skylanders,
same as Disney Infinity’s are limited to Disney Infinity. While the amiibo are
limited to Nintendo consoles, they’re not limited to one or two games
(theoretically). I can use my Link amiibo in Super Smash Brothers for 3DS (once
the peripheral comes out as I don’t have a new 3DS) and WiiU, Mario Kart 8 and
Hyrule Warriors as an example. While I think more variety with the already
released amiibo would be nice, it’s better than just limited to one or two
games in the case of Disney Infinity. Tt Games wants in on this model as well,
and what better franchise then the LEGO Games, hence LEGO Dimensions.

Opening Impressions: 5.4.3.2.1 Thunderbirds Are Go
You see, I would add in some sort of witty title and the name of the material that is the subject of this post. But, this already does it so well for me. So...
Opening Impressions: Digimon Fusion Season 2: "We finally realised 'we're stronger when we act as one'... kinda...
So, with more news coming out for Digimon Adventure Tri,
Digimon Fusion Season 2 decides to make its appearance (why it took a year is
beyond me, seeing as it was first aired a few years ago in Japan). Jeremy and
Angie (two people I didn’t bring attention to in the Season 1 review) take
their leave, and we now focus on all three of the Digi Destined, who actually
have Digivices.
