Keyblade Master Xine

The Lion King is one of my all time favorite movies. It's one of my most nostalgic movies. When I was a kid, I watched that movie so much, I memorized every line and every lyric to the point where I used to annoy the hell out of my family. I can't do that now, though. I can't think of this movie they way I could with any other movie about script, story, animation, etc. This movie is a force of nature that you can't help but be engrossed in. I'm pretty sure everyone has a movie like this. This movie is my childhood. This movie is in my soul, and I could never not love it.

I work at the cafeteria at my college and am working on being a chef. I always get a lot of praise for my meatloaf and my potato salad.

Was it ever really there? Or was it just your imagination?

Alright, I can kinda see your point. Batman Begins is one of my all time favorite movies, so I can see the value of rebooting a franchise that has long been considered dead. The difference is that it's Batman, one of, if not the most popular superhero ever. Even Spiderman, another very popular character, they can't even do completely right. Power Rangers is a joke to people, just a campy, corny, silly kids show. Just look at Nostalgia Critic's reviews. Most people don't take it seriously, and as you can tell by Power Rangers Samurai and Megaforce, even they don't take it seriously. The only reason Saban bought the rights back is for a cash grab. They didn't even try to make a good show. If a great movie like Pacific Rim (which is another movie I might consider being one of all time favorite movies) can fail at the box office, what chance does Power Rangers have? Realistically, I just don't think they'll do what they have to to make a good, much less great, movie. This could fail just as hard as The Last Airbender, and what M. Night did to my favorite animated series is unforgivable. I will literally never forgive him for that. I am a huge Power Rangers fan. What Star Wars and Star Trek is to most people, Power Rangers is to me. I never grew out of it, then went back to watch seasons I missed. I've been watching this show for as long as I can remember. I don't watch it ironically or to get my dose of corny television. To me, it is a genuinely good show. This show has a place in my heart that Pacific Rim, The Avengers, or anything else can't replace, and I don't want to see it go down the road of Green Lantern or The Last Airbender, where it was just doomed to fail, but believe me when I say that if by some miracle they somehow end up making a good movie, I will be the first person to eat my words.

Oh. Hell. No. Those first 2 Power Ranger movies sucked hard. I do not want to see another one. I hope this is a very late April Fools prank.

With her attitude, she shouldn't be allowed to drive ever again.

Definitely Cartoon Network. I still watch Ben 10 Omniverse and the channel now has Toonami back. I used to watch Nickelodeon in its heyday, now I only watch it for Power Rangers. I don't watch Disney at all. That channel went to ultimate crap when they canceled Toon Disney. If Toon Disney and Jetix were still around today, my vote might have went there.

I have a lot to say about this episode, but I want to start off by saying I think HIMYM is one of, if not the best, sitcom I've ever seen, and while I don't think the episode was bad, I don't see how people could think it was fantastic. I think the main problem of the episode comes from how misguided and, in my honest opinion, pretentious, the writers seem to be when deciding how end this series. By pretentious, I mean the fact these writers are great, and it's clear they wanted to do something unpredictable so that people can say, "Wow! I didn't see that coming! That was a brilliant ending to a great show! These writers are great because they were able to do something completely ungeneric and heartbreaking!", and I'm all for that, but they went about it the wrong way. This is the same problem people had with The Dark Knight Rises, where the story they wanted to tell doesn't mesh well with what would naturally progress from the story they've already told, i.e. The movie taking place 8 years later so they can tell a story about how he stopped but has to come back out of retirement to face a new threat, just to quit again. This is not unlike what happens in HIMYM, where the entire focal point of the last season was Robin and Barney's wedding, and the show spent a good amount of time arguing the case for how much they do love each other, just to have them break up in the first 10-15 min in the episode? This wouldn't have been a problem if the wedding wasn't the main setting of the last season and the breakup took place earlier in the season, but as it stands, that made the entire wedding pointless, at least from a story standpoint. As for Barney, having him regress back to his womanizing ways takes a dump on all of his character development. I know the show tried to explain this away by saying that if he couldn't make it work it out with Robin, he couldn't make it work with anyone, but we as an audience would like to think that if they were to breakup, that relationship would have taught him something, not do a Kingdom Hearts Level 1 reset. What's worse is having him have an illegitimate child with a woman we don't even see on screen or get a name, relegating her to a plot device to show how Barney learned the error of his ways, and while the scene of him holding his baby is fantastic and well acted by NPH, why couldn't that lesson be learned by his relationship with Robin? Why ruin a story arc just for one pointless, although great, character moment? This would have worked for story arc through the series, not for a series finale that's supposed to be a send off for the characters. What they did with Robin was ridiculous to me. Why have her fall out from the group to focus on her career in a way that makes her slightly less likable? The show spent the entire series showing us their friendship and camaraderie just to have it end like that. This just feels like an excuse to put some drama in the show because the writers have some need to show that this isn't just some silly sitcom where shenanigans happen and every line out of the characters' mouths have to be forced jokes to add levity to situations that may or may not require comedy relief like those other pesky sitcoms. You just have to force in unnecessary and, quite frankly, unearned drama to "make us care about the characters", when it's hard to feel the emotion of the drama when we're just rolling our eyes at these writing decisions. And now for the Big Kahuna, the main reason a lot of people hate the finale: what they did with Ted, Robin, and the Mother, or should I say Tracy. Where do I begin? Okay, with Ted and Robin. The show is called How I Met Your Mother, and the first episode is essentially how everyone met Robin, who would become the catalyst for a lot of Ted and Barney's story arcs. The show makes it clear in the first episode that Robin is not the Mother, and if that didn't do it for you, the brilliant episode Symphony of Illumination where we found out Robin can't get pregnant, which admittedly is bringing tears to my eyes just thinking about this episode while typing this, would put the nail in that theory coffin. We see the ups and downs of their roller coaster-like relationship as they go from friends, to BF/GF, back to friends, falling out, back to friends and them talking about their relationship, and the show makes a case that they truly aren't right for each other. Yet they still tried to drag on this Ted/Robin subplot in the last 2 seasons that don't mean anything because we know that they're not gonna end up together. On another note, both Cristin Milioti and the mother are funny, likable, and beautiful, and we see how Ted would fall in love with her, and the show did the clever thing of showing through flash forwards their chemistry instead of waiting till the last episode like any other TV show would do. The show even gives her a backstory where we see what's she's been doing throughout the show, cleverly framed through the moments we know she and Ted were at the same place, like the St. Patricks Day party and the time Ted taught the wrong class. The show went out of its way to make us fall in love with this character, only to have her die. What's worse is that we find out the framework for the entire series was Ted trying to ask his kids permission to ask Robin out 6 years after she died from Oneparentdramaitis, the same disease that killed Bambi's mother and Mufasa. We were all hoping Tracy was gonna be his happy ending, but the show sideswipes that, turning her from a character that we care about to a plot device and a loophole so that Ted will have kids to tell the story to since Robin can't get pregnant, so that we can have YET ANOTHER Ted/Robin moment. This Ted/Robin thing is something fans have been rolling their eyes about, only to have the show end on that is a slap in the face (no reference intended) to everyone who was invested in these characters. This is the main problem with the finale: this isn't natural progression; this is self indulgence. The finale is not a good payoff for the everything that was set up in the series. The way the story ended is not the proper ending for the story that was being told. The writers got too caught up in being surprising than telling this story to its natural and satisfactory conclusion. And even then, this episode wasn't that bad. I was expecting to be brought to tears by this episode, but I was just left feeling "meh".

Forever Red, most definitely. It's not just good or great. It's freakin' awesome, except for the Serpentera/Wild Force Rider thing. That was beyond lame. People usually hate Trakeena's Revenge because of the little girl, and I will admit that episode unnecessarily contrived reasons to keep her onscreen, but it's still good. The only ones that suck are Time for Lightspeed for its lame anticlimax and Clash of the Red Rangers for not even technically being a team-up since they couldn't bring anyone from RPM back. They might as well not even bothered to make the episode. I'm not gonna jump the gun and say Legendary Battle because they could end up screwing this up. People don't seem to realize Legendary Battle has something working against it that Forever Red and Once a Ranger doesn't, and that's the fact that it's also the series finale of Super Megaforce. Team-ups, anniversaries, and series finales are already hard enough to pull off for any show, but to be a satisfying team AND be a sendoff for these characters AND tie up the plot, and for PR to do it all in one 30 min episode is damn near impossible. I still think this could have been done if Judd Lynn, Amit Bhaumik, or Jackie Marchand were writing it, but this is Super Megaforce, one of the poorer written seasons in the franchise next to Megaforce, both Samurai, and Turbo. If a great show like How I Met Your Mother could mess up a series finale (not to say it was bad, just misguided), and while I enjoy Super Megaforce and am (admittedly unrealistically) excited and looking forward to Legendary Battle, I don't really have much reason to think it won't blow up in our faces, and if it does, I will rage.

I heard rumors that KH3 was supposed to come out in 2014, and I want to say that's not true, unless next year they start the calender over at year 1.

Or... (puts on shades) "Dancing madly". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-LZWMc-OEY

I hate Iron Man 3, but I like Man of Steel and TDKR. Also, I prefer Batman Begins over TDK, especially since BB is one of my favorite movies.

After all these years of the side games and this FF vs. XIII nonsense, for SE to finally announce KH3, "IT'S ABOUT F*CKING TIME!" is the understatement of the year. When I heard of this, I literally couldn't believe it.

Goofy's fake death in KH2 was well done, but one that made me the saddest was Alkaid from .hack G.U.. Although she technically didn't die, she just became a lost one, that still got to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCZHTNjV9lE

When I say "best written", I mean relative to the series itself. KH is notorious for its convoluted story, and while not without plotholes, I think KH3D did a really good job of tying up some loose ends and setting up for KH3. I've only played through the game one time, so it's not like I can quote it... yet, but I do think it has the best story.

No. FF crossing over with Disney worked surprisingly well. Even TWEWY worked, but KH doesn't need every franchise in it. I don't even think Star Wars and The Avengers would make a good crossover on its own, so it definitely wouldn't work in the convoluted mess that is the KH series, and when I say "convoluted mess", I say that with love.

Let me tell you the truth. I'm a really big KH fan, and I hadn't played a really good KH game since BBS, and that was years ago. I've played Re:Coded, but it was just meh. I was skeptical about KH3D, though, because the soundtrack wasn't as good as BBS and I didn't like the idea of the drop system. I was afraid I was gonna fall out of love with the series, especially since the game came out last year, and I just got it last week. I have to tell you that this game renewed my love for the series. KH3D is the best written game in the series and it did a great job of tying up some of the plotholes and loose ends while telling its own great story. Even the drop system wasn't an issue. There's an item in the game called Drop-Me-Nots that fill up the Drop Gauge, and once I stocked up on them, it never ran out once. So if you're a fan of the series, there should be no hesitation, no "mixed opinions" and no "I wonder if I should get this?" about it. It is a must buy and I highly recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the series.

I think that scene at Hollow Bastion was Nomura's way of showing that Sora earned the Keyblade. The confusing part was the creation of Ven. He's only there to explain why Roxas looks different than Sora, but people read too much into the fact that his heart is in Sora. It's left up for speculation, but I'd like to think that Sora proved himself. I agree. I also think that KH3D did a great job of explaining a lot of plot elements and plotholes while keeping the gameplay and action while telling its own story. It's the best written game in the series.

If Scar is Loki, shouldn't that make Thor Mufasa? Maybe you should do a Nickelodeon version with DC.

I agree, but my main problem with Iron Man 3 was that it didn't take itself seriously enough. You can tell Shane Black didn't give a damn about the Marvel Cinematic Universe or even Iron Man in general.

The .hack// G.U. trilogy are one of my favorite video games ever, so of course I have to say Haseo.
