Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects

Real Talking Time:

My reaction: I have just watched the 107 seconds version of this trailer; it was fantastic; it did everything that you expect a trailer to do, capture your attention straightaway with a bit of the storyline, hard-hitting action and highly engaging at throughout. I know this is a retro trailer, but it is so fantastic that it deserves to be spoken of; so based on this trailer; these two worlds collide Eternia and Etheria: where we experienced this massive array of characters and battling for Good vs. Evil in all its splendour. One of the main reasons that I wanted to talk about this trailer is because; actually it is very sad really; because even in 1985 we had the idea that men, women or indeed others could work side-by-side, without this divisive attitude and yes I am very much aware that She-Ra was and is going to take over from He-Man, but of what I remember you see the writers and everyone else was by today's standards incredibly absolutely smarter than the standards of 2026 and beyond unless things change. Of what I can see; they didn't want both of their franchise lead characters to be nailed on perfect, they wanted them to be given the burden of their choice of to do right or wrong, be strong or intelligent, be the candlelight that their societies/worlds needed them to be and more importantly it is okay to be different and ask for help or/and stand up for yourself

Without sounding preachy; because that is definitely not my way; but I am just disappointed that looking back over this movie trailer which is at this point of this content being first created over 4 decades old and whatever positive steps we made in the 1980s or at any point in the 1990s has been slowly eroded away with this more divisive than ever attitude of pick your lane/group and stay in it and I know it wasn’t completely perfect obviously not, but it felt more like we were slowly, incredibly slowly making more right steps in the right direction for the vast majority at that time or at times in history.

This prediction of this movie is: 9/10, yes I have seen this movie now and again throughout my life, but at this point not for a long time so this prediction still is valid and I like to do is give myself a little bit of wiggle room hence why I didn’t give full marks.

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/vehicle crashing/cutting

Susan Nelson: Character [Character developments,] Storyline, Action and Comedy; we have this character for this episode, she is the daughter of the Mayor of this location and hopefully she will be able to shed some light on what has been happening here. Much later on; we have this explosion which floods this mine; it becomes a race against time for Dan and Roadie to perform this rescue mission; such as using a little circle electric saw to cut down this wooden door, with Dan being comical asking "Anyone for a taxi?"

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; on the whole this episode has enough to find itself in this section of my marking system, with a strong back-end in this episode; yes over the recent past episodes it hasn't been lost on me that the standard of these episodes have been slowly dropping, I hope this is not a continuing trend.

Warning: there is flashing effects/medical/references to suicide and bodily functions

In 1973: briefly; the young boy  Michael "Eddie" Edwards [Child: Tom Costello/Teen: Jack Costello/Adult: Taron Egerton:] this young person decides he wants to become an Olympian by any legal means necessary, so long story short he decides to go for a Winter Olympics sport, don't worry nothing too dangerous just the ski jump that he knows very little on how to perform the sport, so it is very much a case of he will pick it up as he goes along, luckily enough incomes across  Bronson Peary [Hugh Jackman:] he is a snow slope engineer, that likes his drink, many years ago he was essentially the maverick of the ski jumping world.

Generally speaking:  the storyline/script, the framework and pacing of this 106 minutes film is good; we are briskly going through stages of Edwards' life, with, montages and useful information on screen such a names of places and so on.

Action, art, character developments and comedy; as I alluded to earlier we have montages of training; things going wrong in that training, for most parts we have the general slow motion effects that are required to capture these jumps; which are in themselves smooth and consequently able to capture the action and the elegance of this sport, but for one sequence we have this jump from Peary whilst he is drunk; let's just say it really does stick out, because out of the rest of them, this one in particular is something different; for a start it looks more expensive as in this entire sequence, I just didn't like it then again [I am smarter than your average bear; if this in theory is meant to capture and incorporate what Peary was like then... I guess they hit it on the head for what they were going for, speaking of character developments based on the interpretation of Edwards, it would suggest back then he was a socially awkward individual, as couldn't deal with women, naked individuals and anything else really.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are reliably good versions of what they are meant to be; but it does feel like this film does need the partnership of Egerton and Jackman to be the spearhead of the movie.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean if you never seen it; it is a good watch and yes there are some extra bits and pieces of photos and finally yes this film has some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Winners; which includes but not limited to Heartland Film 2016 Truly Moving Picture Award. 9 Nominees would also include but not limited to Teen Choice Awards 2016 Teen Choice Award Choice Movie Actor: Drama Taron Egerton

Warning: there is adult content in this trailer

Real Talking Time:

My reaction: I have just finished watching the 127 seconds version of this trailer and yes full disclosure I have already began watching this and have some content on it, and seen it once all the way through already. But on reflection I was thinking I would go back and start here, so when it comes to putting out this content everything should be in the right order. So this is obvious; Marvel Television/Disney has just taken the Netflix version and turned it upside down, then inside out, then take off whatever boundaries it had and then finally darken the already darken atmosphere and tone, to the point where Attorney Matt Murdock/Daredevil [Charlie Cox] which was already authentically dark and troubled and force them to as this trailer will show be civil and discuss things to his greatest adversarial with Wilson Fisk/Kingpin [Vincent D'Onofrio:] where he admits it isn't entirely unpleasant to see Matt again, whilst we have indications or/and sequences of carnage away from this conversation with voice-over of this discussion: it is a very impactful trailer of things to come.

My prediction for this season would be: 8/10, so obviously excellent and just for the record because I watch a lot of content, I can't remember too much about this season, before I get some backlash by some people saying; so it was completely forgettable then? Absolutely not, I do have a good memory, but to remember everything would be a lot, so my memory is built on bullet points, so this 8/10 would be a reasonable prediction based on I can't remember everything.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/body shaming/breaking/man on woman violence/references to the rainbow community, drugs and suicide

Let's dance: briefly; we meet Alexandra "Alex" Owens [Jennifer Beals:] she is an 18-year-old welder that works on the building site, but she is also a highly skilled natural dancer without training, that also is an adult dancer, that would like to get into this Pittsburgh Conservatory of Dance and Repertory: this is her story.

Generally speaking: the script: works on the basis of here and now and anything past a certain point; it doesn't matter based on we don't get to see it and equally yes we have this storyline going on, but basically this film is essentially designed like music videos of this timeframe in history and the framework and pacing of this 97 minutes film is straightforward; I mean it is a little bit difficult to describe based on if I had to simply describe it I would have to say; it does the job. I fully understand that it isn't the most quickest by any stretch of the imagination, but it moves at a solid pace.

As I have referenced like music videos; the art has two iconic dancing sequences; one where our lead character gets wet and her audition for entry to the place of a higher learning and sandwiched in the middle is this; action/training sequence where Owens gets really sweaty with her feet quickly going up and down on the spot and at some point there is this little scuffle involving some men over Ovens.

Comedy, character developments and performances; there are some jokes being told which to cover my back I should just say they may or may not be of the attitudes of that time, but the comedy reference I can put in this content would be this; Owens has this great alarm system for men that choose to follow her home. By and large the character developments and the performances are all good; there is good chemistry throughout. But let's be honest Owens/Beals leads this cast flawlessly as she is someone that is hard-working, wants to stand on her own two feet [but may have to realise that a little bit of help is sometimes useful] and ever so feisty: she makes this role are very own.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; even though this mark would seem a little bit low considering what I am about to say next; this is one of those films that you need to see once in your lifetime; it in bodies the 1980's and it is good enough for at least the one time viewing, even though full disclosure I have seen it may be twice. It does have awards accredited to its name and no not all of them are positive ones either; 14 Winners don't include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1984 Oscar Best Music, Original Song Giorgio Moroder (music) Keith Forsey (lyrics) Irene Cara (lyrics) For the song "Flashdance...What a Feeling" and Image Awards (NAACP) 1984 Image Award Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Jennifer Beals. 17 Nominees which also include but not limited to back to the 1984 Academy Award Best Cinematography Donald Peterman, Best Film Editing Bud S. Smith Walt Mulconery and Best Music, Original Song Michael Sembello Dennis Matkosky For the song "Maniac" and moving on to the negative awards Razzie Awards 1984 Razzie Award Worst Screenplay Thomas Hedley Jr. (also story) Joe Eszterhas

Calling It Out of: AJ Styles to AEW or another Promotion or Not, Retiring in 2026 by AverageMansReviews – Spoiler Alarm!

Calling It Out of: AJ Styles to AEW or another Promotion or Not, Retiring in 2026 by AverageMansReviews – Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there will be censored adult language references to in this content and a very real tone to this content that some may not like actually some of you are going to hate this so you have been warned.

So very kindly go fudge yourself! Allow me to set down the parameters of this content meaning I am working under the point of hypothetically and if and in no way shape or form is this content meant to fuel speculation, I am just simply talking about the this respect and AJ Styles has earned the right to do whatever he wants whatever that may be.

So I am in my early 40's as this content is being first created, so I have one question for you... It is a really minor one what gives you the fudgin' right to question Styles?... Come on I have heard rumblings for about a week now, a mist of him trademarking things and especially more so that he has retired from the WWE.

Come on I am waiting?... The fact he is; you have no justification for your outbursts he gave you a decade of service, worked as contracts and now has the right to do whatever he likes.

But I like how the Wrestling Internet Community or a certain section got a whiff of the rumour of Styles possibly joining AEW, every one of those spineless motherfudgers was racing to their social media platforms to in essence this respect him and AEW for Internet traffic and other then this how about you tell me what for?... Because did he do the WWE dirty? Did he potentially lie about retiring? [To a certain extent; all wrestlers lie at some point in their career so providing it isn't a big one; like Cody Rhodes saying something to the effect of I will never go back to the WWE, accept wrestlers lie] or is it because you are a bunch of children losing your toy? You see one example or/and examples unless I feel that someone has done AEW dirty such as Cody Rhodes, CM Punk or/and Jade Cargill just to name some names then the likes of Ethan Page, Chris Jericho and now Powerhouse Hobbs/Royce Keys [which I can't be the only one that thinks it is somewhat comical that Keys has been in the door 5 seconds and he has been much better packaged then Ricky Starks/Ricky Saints] and just for the record I didn't watch WWE Royal Rumble 2026; but however I have seen Keys' entrance and to be fair he or he felt and looked like a very big deal within the WWE; I know this is a very incredibly old wrestling reference, but all I ask from the WWE is please don't put a silver hat thing on Keys like you did with Faarooq/Ron Simmons back in the day.

But to somewhat conclude this content; I know Styles didn't exactly stem the flow of speculation when he didn't leave his gloves in the middle of the ring so hopefully on tomorrow/today Monday 02/02/2026 on Monday Raw; the WWE will give him a celebration/send off, because if they don't it isn't going to help things at all really and even if they do the moral of this content is veterans of Styles' level or any level really when they get to 48 years old they can do whatever they like as it relates to the rest of their career including the retirement route and usually I wouldn't say this in fact I hardly bring this up, because it is not my way of doing things. But in this case this is one of those rare exceptions I will make an exception; for those content creators that have made negative or rage bait about this situation I hope your followers wake the hell up and realise that you are a disgrace to content creating, especially with in this modern world of spreading unnecessary negativity we all have a certain level of responsibility to what we put out, meaning as content creators we can put out our content; with the best intentions to be responsible, but we can't always guarantee how it will be received and yes I am fully aware of there is that fine line between opinion and pushing a very deliberate and divisive narrative towards in this case Styles where as I have already indicated there is no justification for it; so go and essentially touch some grass, this will cover me for the future, until this situation I was okay with him retiring, but now I hope he does turn up somewhere else just to highlight that he is AJ Styles and he can do whatever he likes even if it is just for one match.

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references in this content

Looking over this TV series again: it has come to my attention that I have made a little mistake, by thinking that some episodes belonged in the second season, but didn't as they belonged in the third season I have now rectified this as best as I can, but I will be releasing in some cases again, but in the entirety of the third season again across my media platforms hopefully the week of Wrestle Mania, which if you didn't know was Saturday 18/04/2026 and Sunday 19/04/2026. I do apologise for a complete fudge up. But then again if you have been following me long enough, you know I always have a mistake in my locker, granted I haven't done it for a long time, but I can still be clumsy from time to time and yes just for the record there are some now from the third season up right now, so if you can't wait there you go and on a quick side note I have noticed is least one episode has a different name on different places, so no I will not be changing that title either.
