Most unanticipated DCEU films

Image
A while back, I posted a list of the DCEU movies that I was most excited for out of the projects that had been announced at that point. Several more movies have been announced by DCEU since that time, and while many of them are still ones that I'm interested in seeing, there's have been a few that have had me raise and eyebrow or all out declare that I wasn't interested. Many of these may not be happening anymore, and one is even rumored to be cancelled entirely. For now though, without any offical cancellation, all of these movies are still possibly coming in the future, and are the ones I'm least looking forward too. (Image Source) Harley Quinn and the Joker This one is the lowest on the list since I actually enjoyed Jared Leto's short preformance in the Suicide Squad movies, despite not having much interest in the portrayal of Harley Quinn. This is the movie on this list that is rumored to be cancelled, and while I did like Jared Leto as the Joker, this ...

Dark Souls the Board Game wave 2 expansions ranked

Image
This is a bit of a late post considering it has been months since I received the second wave of expansions for the Dark Souls board game from Steamforged games, but I've wanted to do this for a while and finally got myself to sit down and write this post. I wasn't able to acquire the kickstarter exclusive expansions that came out, Old Iron King, Guardian Dragon, and Four Kings, who I hoped I would be able to get and play with but sadly they were too expensive on Ebay, so I'm only ranking the general release items of wave 2. I've had a blast playing with all of them, and they have me excited for the future of the game so let's talk about how much fun I had with each expansion piece. (Image Source) 4. Asylum demon As far as bosses in the game go, the Asylum demon is a pretty standard encounter with nothing too special and isn't too challenging, which is also how this expansions felt. While the model is of course beautiful, playing the boss fight didn'...

Most wanted McFarlane Harry Potter Wizarding World creature figures

Image
One of the most exciting line announcements that McFarlane recently announced lately was their new line of 6 inch scale Harry Potter figures! It was a line that I've been wanting for a long time and one I am thrilled to finally be getting, as well as the added "creatures" assortment that will be running alongside the standard figure line. The first of these creatures will be Buckbeak, with more surely coming. Sadly, no pictures were allowed of these figures at the event, and I haven't been able to find much information about them from any news outlets that did go. So there is still some time before the figures are fully revealed, but nonetheless I'm excited for the line, and what other creatures could be produced after Buckbeak! There have been dozens of creatures introduced throughout the whole saga, and here are a few of the ones that I hope that get soon!

Top 5 most likely Star Wars Black Series figures

Image
With 2019 beginning and Hasbro's the Black Series chugging forward in full force it seemed like a good time to post the top five figures I think are most likely coming in the near future. Most of these are educated guesses and I tried to keep personal hopes out of this as much as possible, which leads to a few figures that reasonably should be expected in the coming year, or at least a reveal for a later year. Before Toyfair starts and gives us our newest reveals of the year, here are the figures I think are most likely in the line in no particular order. Ep 8 Luke With how hard Hasbro hit episode 8 with a full line of figures it is surprising that Luke didn't get a new action figure and instead got a figure that fans had been hoping to get with episode 7's release. Neither of the two outfits that he wore for the majority of the movie have been made which is a shame, but I don't think they've been forgotten. The Crait version of the Luke has recently been ann...

The Flash S05 EP14 spoiler review

Image
(This guys keeps getting scarier and scarier) Last night's episode was a very fun one that focused very heavily on Nora to give us possibly the best episode of the season, at least in my opinion. Here is my review of the 14th episode of the Flash, entitled, "Cause and XS" (Image Source) I'm not sure where to start with this one. It was a simple episode, but it was all so good and entertaining. The biggest thing I should mention is that Barry was omitted for nearly the entirety of the episode but the show didn't feel hurt by his absence. That goes to show that The Flash has a wonderful supporting cast that can carry the show for at least an episode without the main lead, Nora in particular got to shine and I do not mind whenever she gets the spotlight. She has been an extremely fun, flawed, naive, hopeful character with doubts and ambitions that fuel her development. This episode helped portray this more than ever. Starting off, Cisco managed to complete...

Most wanted 4 inch World of Nintendo Mario franchise figures

Image
It seems as though Jakks Pacific's World of Nintendo line has returned in full force with new waves arriving regularly and a whole new line look being added to the packaging. Things are feeling fresh again and the character selection has been upped to very wise choices even if they are all skewing towards the Mario franchise. Naturally, with the line being back and pumping out figures without huge waits between waves it has made me think about what figures I want to see produced. Due to the line's overt focus on the Mario franchise, those are the characters I'll stick to for this list, so here are my most wanted Mario franchise characters for the World of Nintendo line. (Image Source) Boomerang Bro This feels like an easy one for them to do now. Out of all of the random background enemies and grunts that appeared through the games, the Boomerang Bro is one of the only ones left to make in plastic form and the two brothers of this grunt, the Fire bro and Hammer bro ...

The Flash S05 EP13 spoiler review

Image
(Cicada was doing his best it seemed to be as creepy as possible in this scene) The latest episode of Flash aired last night to give us an entertaining hour that didn't propel the story ahead too far, but was fun nonetheless. Three different storylines were going on at the same time, each with varying degrees of intensity, but all three with their own purposes. So without any more intro, here is my review of, "Goldfaced." (Image Source) One of the storylines of the episode that also happened to be the silliest revolved around Nora trying to throw Sherloque off her trail after he had all but deduced that she was working with Reverse-Flash. While the storyline was mostly played for laughs, it gave us several fun interactions between the pair, while also building onto Sherloque's character. Seeing Nora spy on him from inside a wall was a fun new trick for speedsters to employ, and her getting Thawne's help in conjuring up a plan to distract Sherloque was anot...

Top 10 most wanted Mega Construx Pokemon Kalos First Evolutions

Image
Mega Construx has pulled from a lot of the Pokemon regions for their Pokemon building set lines; however, there are still a couple of regions that have been left untouched thus far and that includes the Kalos region from the X and Y game generation. It wasn't a pair of games that I personally played, but plenty of the Pokemon designs and creative choices I like and will hopefully get around to playing the game in the future. I also hope that soon in the future Mega Construx will delve deeper into the region than just the leaked 'Electabuzz vs Greninja' set. Naturally, the pokeball sets seem the easiest entry point for the region's Pokemon into the line, so I'll be looking at my most wanted first evolutions from the Kalos region. (Image Source) 10. Dedenne Each new region seems to have their own 'clone' of the electric mouse, Pikachu, and for Kalos they got Dedenne. It is a cute little orange ball of a Pokemon that looks very close in relation to Ra...
