Some more cards are yet to be released, but as of the 19th, I thought I’d explore some of the more impressive and likely to be influential cards from Throne of Eldraine for Standard (and Commander/Brawl). Now, obviously, I’m not a pro-player, so take this with salt, but I’ve been around the block enough that…
Though it feels too quick to have come already, we are in Spoiler Season 2019 for Throne of Eldraine, and I wanted to give a few first impressions about how it’s going since the new Brawl update dropped. Impression Number One: Adventure Is A Sweet But Problematic Mechanic When I first saw it, I thought…
Miraculous Has Some Miraculous Stuff To Show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir is Sailor Moon, but for a modern audience, with surprisingly excellent CGI animation. I mean this comparison in almost every sense of the phrase, from the structure to the pacing, to the simple idea of it. Let me break down the…
Legacies Doesn’t Live Up To Its History If I’m going to talk about Legacies, I suppose I must first give some credibility: I’ve seen a fair bit of Vampire Diaries. I’m familiar, to some degree, with the lore. I’ve also seen and read my fair bit of things like Twilight, The Magicians, and Buffy the Vampire…
You heard me: remake Harry Potter. It may seem like sacrilege to even suggest the idea—but, seriously, the movies are too short, too limited, too reliant on the readers being the viewers that they are not nearly as good as they could be. Actually, a Harry Potter movie would never cut it. We need multiple,…
Today Is The Day of The Lightsaber In honor of this May the 4th, or Star Wars Day, I wanted to give a little attention to one of the greatest weapons in media: the lightsaber. Now, sure, a laser sword is, at this point, one of the most generic science fiction weapons, and I’m sure…
Now that Game of Thrones Season 8 is here, let’s take a look at a glimpse of what it takes to pull off these epic scenes. HBO has released several behind the scenes micro-docs that take us behind the scenes with the crew who bring it all together. We’ve rounded them up for you here….
In just a few short days, Game of Thrones Season 8, the final season, will begin. Since it’s been two years since we’ve seen Game of Thrones, we may not remember the details of the intricate story. So, as we wait with baited breath, here is a pretty complete recap compilation of what’s happened so…
Strowlers was a good idea, I’m sure. A wholesome idea. Creating a world of urban fantasy that people can contribute to is a cool way to let lesser-known creators and new talents get their feet wet. Conceptually, I really like Strowlers. But you can only get so much goodwill. And, no matter how nice an idea,…
Weird, kitschy and slightly out of time, the Umbrella Academy is Netflix’s new hit show based on the limited comic book series by the same name. I just binged watched it this weekend, (thank you Netflix for not making us wait months to see an entire series!), and it was great. Here’s a quick rundown…
One of the most exciting things when watching a Sci-Fi movie is the possibility of discover new awesome and incredible worlds that serve as context to adventures and heroic missions. These products of genial minds are capable not only to give to the story an impressive imaginary to admire, but also to provide an occasion…
Once again, DC gets its act together (finally) with a stand-alone DC hero film. Aquaman is a holiday hit with more than $1 Billion in Global Box Office, and with good reason. It’s a great, fun, well executed film. Definitely worth 2 viewings in IMAX. Now if they could only do that with the rest…
