Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 24: The Spit Flower by AverageMansReviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 24: The Spit Flower by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another good episode

5 things about this episode

Recycle elements/Back story: there is recycle elements in this episode and there is a back story to this monster used in this episode as well.

Voice-over: now there are some characters/performers that are being performed by one performer, but their voice is done by another performer, I should have pointed this out sooner, but better late than never.

Character developments: there is good chemistry between The Power Rangers in their civilian attire as they try to console Kimberly [that is as much as I can say without giving too much away.]

Comedy level: briefly at first the comedy level is good in this episode, but here are two rough examples for you to look out for; Tommy and Alpha 5 and then we have Bulk & Skull [involving Zack and some flowers in another scene.]

This episode receives: 7/10, as I have already said this episode is good, it consistently has things to work with, including things I haven't said in this blog, because I said when I first began dealing with this TV program I would only give you 3 to 5 things per episode.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 23: Itsy Bitsy Spider by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another good episode

5 things about this episode

Storyline/Moral message: the storyline is good, moving on to the moral message in short to save this stature which by legends the forest spirit keeps away bad insects [I just want to point out a small detail I don't write or in my case dictate the script for these episodes.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there is a lot to see and experience on both counts, be it when Zack/The Black Power Ranger uses his Power Axe to shoot at this statue from very close range [unknowingly] releasing this monster or having this monster shoot his wedding over [to create this web] to lift up and down the Dragonzord.

Comedy level: Bulk and Skull; well these two characters course some mischief in this episode and Skull jumps into Bulk's arms because of different circumstances. Now because I haven't dictated one of these episodes for a little while I would just like to remind you as it relates to these episodes I will be just covering 3 to 5 things on each episode.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode has a lot of imagination and creativity behind it, but this mark feels a fair conclusion.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 22: The Trouble with Shellshock by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good

5 things about this episode

Storyline/Bloopers: generally speaking the storyline is good, but there are some bloopers in it, the first one is where this monster says these two words out of a sentence "mutant teenagers", he is referring to The Power Rangers [the last time I looked these characters are human and secondly it is a bit rich for him to be saying this, considering he is a monster that not too long ago was dropped out of this monster making machine, known as Monster-Matic.]

The second blooper is where we have Jason/The Red Power Ranger saying "We need dinosaur power!" But here is the problem he is the only one here unless unknown to their viewers out of desperation they have made Casper the friendly Ghost an honorary Power Ranger for this episode or something, because the other's without saying too much where stopped in time or on the move constantly or training, if you look closely  Jason/The Red Power Ranger looks around slightly and says "All right" as well before doing this long jump up/leap thing to the cockpit of the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord. [So in theory shouldn't it have been "I need dinosaur power!"

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts these show imagination and combined make a massive impact on this episode on the whole, be it this monster having many skills or abilities at his disposal or Trini/The Yellow Power Ranger and her Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord working together and the images of her zord over two scenes [the Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord was sent by Zordon.]

Sports: there are sports elements in this episode.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is deserving of this mark [and because I am a reasonable and good guy, I should just point out like I have done with many blogs in my history, present and future I have looked up and done some research, like for an example I found the real name of this monster maker from a website,] even though on more research it tells the audience in the first episode "Day of the Dumpster" the name of this machine as well.

Now obviously I won't be telling you every time I do some research or anything like this, but I also don't like taking the credit for someone else's work at the same time, but the least I could do is be honest with you about it

The Angry Birds Movie 2016 [alternative name by Angry Birds] by AverageMansReviews

The Angry Birds Movie 2016 [alternative name by Angry Birds] by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is excellent

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, mental imagery, slow-motion effects, quick moving effects, time jumps and place jumps.

Origin storylines/Storyline: the origin storyline as it relates to Red is a little bit weird, because we the viewers see him at different ages, based on no particular order we see him at different points looking younger or present day [so it could be something like this; present day, younger, present day, present day younger] and then it begins the film at the end of the opening section with him breaking through his eggshell, it is just weird and yes we get to see/hear other origin storylines to why these characters are in anger management. Moving on to the storyline it is something safe and reliable.

Comedy level: the best way for me to describe the comedy is it uses a lot of skits; be it Red kicking a character by a long-distance into the sea because they were kicking a ball against his house or when he is heckling someone, because they destroyed his house and he wants them to fix it or when another main character is bouncing on this trampoline but isn't going too far up in the air [basically he is banging his head against the ceiling] and for some strange reason he is finding it amusing or you have the "Daddy" reference or Red giving his opinion on some sculptures.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: from an artistic perspective this film has plenty of imagination to it; in one way or another, it could be the colourful and eye-catching nature of this project or creative and imaginative balloon makers [here is a rough description of them basically; you will see heads of pigs possibly made out of sheet metal or something like this; on these little carts with wheels and these balloons filled with helium are coming out of their snouts] or for another example this high up location which has lots of water around it; it looks peaceful, but having said that I wouldn't recommend swimming in it or drinking from it. There is also poetry, singing and dancing as well.

The action sequences: there are weapons being used, running to a destination, combat, vehicles and planes, where some of our characters show their special gift/power these are all so creative and engaging.

Character developments/Voice performers: the character developments are good, there is good chemistry/friction [depending where you are is depending what you get,] there is also a dysfunctional nature in the anger management scenes [with each character bringing something to the table] and this kind of chemistry/dysfunctional chemistry between our main trio as well, for one example, you will find what I am making reference to, without giving too much away when they go and investigate this location, you cannot help but see/feel elements of a dysfunctional nature between these three characters with their chemistry.

But once again there is something really weird in this title, it is where we have this sign to this location, it isn't real but these characters in the anger management scenes are treating it as real, [if you look for Chuck's poetry this is what I am referring to] but then again they don't treat it as real, a couple of minutes later as they walk all over it, again this is just weird; the voice performances are all good.

This film receives: 9/10, when I went to go and see this film at the cinema three years ago roughly if my memory is correct I really wasn't too keen on it or just to cover my back I'm pretty sure I went to go and see this film at the cinema [what can I say I see many projects, I try not to remember too much of a previous experience with any project; yes in some cases it can be difficult, but I deal with here and now and that was possibly under another name or format.] But now I see it as a colourful, goofy comedy.

Shock and Awe 2017/2018 by AverageMansReviews

Shock and Awe 2017/2018 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are words and numbers on screen, cultural elements, voice-over elements, background music, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: it is based on real-life events.

Action sequences: there are weapons and things of this nature being used in this project.

Comedy level:  here is something for you to look out for; watch out for the flowers scene and without giving too much away we have a main character throughout this film trying to get some information out of this woman without much success until the final occasion. I just want to clarify even though this project has some comical elements this film is not a comedy.

Artistic visions: a main character playing a guitar and singing

Character developments/Performances: on both counts they are good, there is good chemistry or friction [depending where you are in this title is depending what you get.]

This film receives: 6/10, as I have already said this film is good.

The Lion King 2019 by AverageMansReviews

The Lion King 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are cultural elements, background music, no subtitles when another language is being used, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, interpreter elements, time jumps and place jumps

Origin storylines/Storyline: these are straightforward, but I have one problem with it, when did Timon & Pumbaa have all these other friends? Sadly I may as well give you a heads up right now this will not be the only time I will be discussing these two individuals in one way or another in this review.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: the artistic visions be it on a visual level or musical number level are really eye-catching, show great imagination as it relates to the musical numbers [including the background music] and their visual interpretation of each musical number. But they really did Pumbaa no favours whatsoever visually [in fairness and balance this character has other issues as well,] so I am not too sure if it is a mixture of those other issues and this one, which I will discuss these other issues in the next section or if visually like I have just said they have done him no favours whatsoever and what happened to the legendary Mufasa cloud image it wasn't in this version?

On to the action sequences; for one example I would just say this; they do the entire antelope stampede sequence proud [that is all I can say about it because I don't want to give too much away, yes I am sure at least 99.9% of you have seen this tragic yet legendary sequence from the legendary and iconic The Lion King 1994 version, but as most of you should know by now I don't want to give too much away or in this case I am trying not to give too much away regardless if 99.9% of you have seen it.

Character developments/Voice performances/Comedy level: just to give you a heads up this is where I'm going to be saying things as they are; which basically means I am still going to put this review across cleanly, but you will notice some differences so in short/straight to the point everything before Timon & Pumbaa's entrance is comfortably excellent, there is chemistry/friction between these characters [depending where you are is depending what you get,] the voice performances on any level put across these character developments, chemistry/friction and the comedy level which is multipurpose [for this example Mufasa is teaching Simba the art of stalking his prey and eventually the take down of his prey and the prey is Zazu [which he is not aware of this lesson/practice] which in this one sequence it covers these three points at the beginning of this paragraph perfectly.

The characters/voice performances on any level from these fully grown or seemed to be fully grown characters from the beginning of this title from Pride Rock to The Elephant Graveyard really understand their characters which shows itself in the chemistry/friction/comedy level as it relates to the hyenas throughout this project. Even when Rafiki was making no sense or speaking another language or something like this and I couldn't understand him in tiny elements, just to cover my back I could be wrong about this; but if my memory is correct he was well-known for doing this in the 1994 version as well [in human form he would be like a medicine man/wise man.]

Timon & Pumbaa I absolutely, strongly dislike these two versions of this legendary partnership, there is nothing remotely likable about them I think I might have had a little tiny laugh when they were enticing the hyenas but I think that was it.

Everything about these two characters is just wrong, it's like someone had gotten their legacy and smeared donkey diarrhea all over it, the character developments are so wrong, like Timon is meant to be the crafty, opportunist which comes up with most of the ideas [with sometimes taking some of Pumbaa's ideas as his own.] Then we have Pumbaa which has gas problems, he is soft natured at heart, but because of Timon's influence they often get into mischief or trouble he doesn't overly like doing anything wrong, he tries to keep Timon on the straight and narrow by nagging him, he is the muscle and don't call him "Pig" because he will get angry I will use a little bit of Pumbaa's speech from the 1994 version "They call me Mr. Pig"  [even though they completely and utterly messed this up in this version] they are in human form individually social misfits, but with their personalities/chemistry/comedy it creates a perfect equilibrium between these two characters for them to use with one another and whomever they come in contact with, but I have one more point to make that they had a self-titled spin-off TV program from 1995, so as you can see/read they are or were really popular in their own rights and what I remember they explored this relationship in this TV program amongst other things as well [or I think so it was in the 1990's but something is telling me in my memory they did this kind of thing in this TV program but just to cover my back again apologies if I have gotten this wrong, but what I can clearly remember is it was lots of fun.]

But these versions are [do I really have to talk about these two characters/voice performers] yes I am still going to be professional, but it is absolutely heart wrenching to see how poor they are [yes before you say it; I have been doing this kind of thing for many, many years so I have come to expect that these versions possibly weren't going to be as good as the original versions of them.]

But having said that it would have been good if they were in a similar ballpark to the original versions not miles and miles away from one another and if you are wondering how many miles are they a part from one another, well let me put it this way  2.7 billion miles [this is when Neptune and the Earth are lined up on the same side of the Sun, yes I researched this;] and this figure would just about cover the distance between these two versions of these characters and no this is no exaggeration.

They are self-serving, their chemistry isn't there, meaning the chemistry between these two is there, I could see it and it ranges from poor to painful to watch which makes it really surprising when they go to help Simba [yes I know this is what they are meant to do,] but because of their character developments/chemistry being what they are and not progressively changing [may be a small bit something like a pinch of salt when they are singing about three becoming two,] but other than that they haven't done the leg work between these two characters or trio throughout the years to make it natural or believable that Timon & Pumbaa would do this. I know I have said something to this effect once before in this review but it was absolutely heart wrenching and incredibly difficult to see what these two characters have been reduced to consequently it effects this trio of not having a strong bond or basically being like family [two uncles and a nephew] and these two performances are poor on any level and that is me being nice [so as I have already referenced to this; if Pumbaa had something more closer to his original personality if I could maybe overlook how they have made him look in this project, I just don't know and this is just speculation at this point because I have no way of finding this out, but as you should be able to tell by now I am so not impressed on how these two iconic characters have turned out] and whilst I'm on the subject their friends characters may as well not be in this project they do absolutely nothing in this title to make a positive impact, which I have just realized, these characters/voice performances are in essence a contradiction on what Timon & Pumbaa are preaching to Simba, briefly about looking after yourself and no one else, so if this is true what are these friend characters doing here? If it should happen that there are some people out there in Internet land that don't see these characters as friends, you are firstly more than welcome to have your own opinion but if these characters are not friends, why are they eating with Timon & Pumbaa and secondly being in a musical number with them if they were not friends?

On to the characters/voice performances which we can see have grown in this project the voice performances feel like they are doing their job, but in fairness and balance they can sing.

This film receives: 7/10, I don't know what to say here because even though this mark from a scale of 1 to 10 is reasonably high obviously, from where it starts to where it finishes, this film had the potential to be so much more, I really didn't feel the same about this title after Timon & Pumbaa's entrance, I must stress it isn't just them, but they are the key point where and when this film slips down the marks, you couldn't get much more worse than these two versions of these two legendary characters, so after this section this project stabilizes at this mark, now I have seen this film the way I feel about it isn't going to change, so if I had the choice I wouldn't watch it again [meaning if I was in a date situation or something to this effect or somehow I lost this review,] I would watch it again but other than that no.

The Day the Earth Stood Still 2008 by AverageMansReviews

The Day the Earth Stood Still 2008 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are words and number on screen, voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, quick moving effects, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: briefly it is straightforward.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: in short at first it does do the armed responds thing be it the military or the police. But then we see what our lead role and this highly advanced robot can do individually which let's just say they make an impact in one way or another.

They did an excellent job putting over this highly advanced robot in this title, he is massive, there is no waste in motion and without giving too much away what this highly advanced robot changes into is imaginative.

So be it the action sequences or the artistic visions these two points are two positives in this title.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are what you come to expect with a film like this, but they are too heavy-handed versions of them, this basically means these character types are very stiff in these versions of them [minus four characters/performers,] so these performances range from poor to doing their job [I can't say mixed simply based on if this is what they were going for, then the performers in question were doing their job and giving them what they wanted.]

Now on to these four; Reeves, Connelly and Cleese, the first two have workable chemistry [it stems from the old yet reliable formula of out-worlder meets at least one from the beginning that doesn't mean it any harm.] I must point out when I said workable chemistry this is based on the character developments of these two characters being from two different planets, so it has that kind of edge to it and it is not against these two performers themselves, so I would say these two are good

Reeves, Connelly and Cleese; now when you have these three characters/performers in this film, this is a very good section to this project there is generally speaking great chemistry and likewise this is good and now on to the fourth; Hong has excellent chemistry with Reeves.

This film receives: 6/10, this mark feels fair and there is a sandwich scene which is also creatively good as well.

Street Kings 2: Motor City 2011 by AverageMansReviews

Street Kings 2: Motor City 2011 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is poor

Fundamental elements: there are words on screen, cultural elements, background music, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: the storyline is okay kind of [I will discuss this kind of in a second,] but besides that; it knows its job and sticks to it. Now moving on to the "kind of" well I can't really tell you too much about this point; for one incredibly excellent reason which would be this; this point gives too much of this film away, way too early. Like I have just said I can't say too much more than that, it is one of those occasions where, when or if you watch this sequel you will understand when it happens why I can't.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat and chasing. The jumping through a train window element is good [here is a rough description one of our main characters is running at this train as it is going past and to enter this train has it is moving this character shoots at this window to make it weak and jumps through it/breaks it to get on to this train and into this situation.] Moving on to the artistic visions, when the opening credits reflect off this car bonnet and later on we have this singer/band element these two elements individually are good.

Character developments/Performances: they are mixed, they know what they are and that is it and including what I said about the storyline from earlier on in this review there isn't much more to say here.

This film receives: 3/10, now generally speaking this sequel was heading for something higher, but then you get to the final section roughly of this sequel and it implodes, it does have that feeling of being rushed/it doesn't help the situation that the ending to this sequel leaves it on a question-mark of "What happened next?" as well and including the storyline problem, if the entire film from beginning to end was all around solid where it doesn't feel rushed and it didn't have the question-mark for an ending I could put up with the storyline problem, but back in reality it is something I had to take into consideration

Street Kings 2008 by AverageMansReviews

Street Kings 2008 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, cultural elements, slow-motion effects, no subtitles when another language is being used, interpreter elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: it knows what it is doing from beginning to end, but it is good nonetheless, I just can't tell you too much about it because it uses the formula of; our lead character/we will find out in the end.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat and chasing. There isn't much to say about them really, they fulfil their purpose in this project.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are at their heart something safe and reliable, there is chemistry/friction [depending where you are in this title is depending what you get.] But even though these character developments are something safe and reliable, it also does depend on the performer or performers in question like for two examples; you could have Reeves and Evans or Reeves and Laurie [or different numbers of characters/performers on screen.] My point here is this; it is down to these performers in this cast if they want their chemistry/friction to have some fluency or something behind it in one way or another or if they want their connection to just do the job that it is designed to.

This film receives: 7/10, as I have already said this film is good; on a quick side note it does have a question-mark of an ending to it of "What happened next?" But as an ending goes it is okay, I mean it works [I am not talking about the ending; I am talking about this style of ending.]

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 5, Disc 2] Episode 58: Aerial Assault by AverageMansReviews

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 5, Disc 2] Episode 58: Aerial Assault by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is episode is good.

Character developments: I was thinking I would begin this review somewhere slightly differently, now in this episode we meet another new Decepticon collective collectively known as the Combaticons.

So I was wondering if I should just tell you the basics of the three collectives we have had introduced recently. So to begin we have the Stunticons, leader Motormaster and their collective transformation has the name of Menasor.

Moving on to the Aerialbots, commander/leader Silverbolt and their collective transformation has the name of Superion and finally we have the collective collectively known as the Combaticons  leader Onslaught and collectively their transformation has the name of Bruticus.

Now I could be wrong so I'm just going to say this is just speculation, but also mixed in with observation, it looks like back then they had a new merchandise line coming out based on all these new characters. I just want to say this again this is just speculation because I don't know.

Storyline/Comedy level: it is something solid and okay. There is a small element of comedy when Megatron slips over on some oil [a lot of oil.]

Action sequences: they are very good and they are the consistent positive to this episode.

This episode receives: 6/10, after everything is said and done this mark is the right conclusion. On a quick side note I should just point out [I can't remember if I have said this or not up to this point but either way] with these collective Transformers if they have a collective transformation and if one is missing from this collective they can still transform into their collective transformation, but consequently because one character is missing a part of their collective transformation will be missing also. The reason why I use word such as "collective" or "collectively" is because these characters that have been put in a collective or a part of a collective, individually brings something to the collective unit in one way or another.

Average Extra of: Men in Black: International 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Real Talking Time: I have seen this film now and the review will be dropping around Christmas time at some point, but all I can tell you for here and now is I gave it a fair mark and yes I did talk about these points in that review as well or some of them.

But here I will be discussing things a little bit deeper and like I said in that review or something to this effect "In this day and age I am aware that I am going to get some feedback of some description, but I strongly wouldn't recommend it [this is not meant to be in a threatening tone, but just some friendly advice,] because as you will see/read everything will become crystal clear."

Well straight off the bat it is getting harder and harder for me to stand by this woman's movement [let me show you a little piece of evidence of me standing by this woman's movement Average Extra of: Batwoman 2019 Season 1 Trailer I will leave the link down below, before you get angry on your keyboard I would take a look at it,] because as I have already said it shows me standing beside it and on a quick side note I have absolutely no problem with strong female roles just off the top of my head Agent Peggy Carter or Jessica Jones or even Batwoman or Harley Quinn in fact I want the MCU [the Marvel cinematic Universe] to do another Hulk film but this time including She-Hulk, so it brings her into the MCU.

But as it relates to this film, let's just say it has this woman's movement all over it and not in a quiet way, it is just so there in your face very, very loudly it suffocates the film, to the point where of my next paragraph.

When is it our turn?: Yes I also did bring this up in this review as well, but here I will be discussing it a little bit more and I don't often use these cards, only when I think it is necessary or appropriate. So on one hand I am in my middle to late 30's [as of this blog] and I am a Caucasian male, whilst on the other hand I am in a wheelchair with mental health issues, if you want me to clarify I will do so I am not speaking as a Caucasian male or someone roundabout in his 30's, I am talking as someone in a wheelchair and that has mental health issues as well here.

So my rhetorical question stems from "When is it our turn? Meaning if this woman's movement is getting all this attention and many other things [I should just point out this is intelligence/logic talking and not jealousy speaking,] my rhetorical question is extremely valid why aren't different groups of people getting a similar high-level of treatment or exposure? Before you jump on me I want you to pay special attention to these key words "A similar high-level of treatment" meaning yes I am aware that in TV land there are some, but no way near on the same level as what I am discussing here.

I mean I don't want to get somewhere because of my wheelchair [if this was the case there is an incredibly high possibility I may tell the individual in question to go and take that opportunity and stick it somewhere or they want my opinion on something from a wheelchair perspective this is okay, brief example find out how the disabled access is for this building,] that is not the point I'm making here; the point is it is now acceptable to have film projects like this one where it has put the women's movement basically center stage and speak of it in any way shape or form, you will get heavily criticized in some way [yes I am expecting to be heavily criticized in one way or another as well here.]

But meanwhile you have somebody like myself in a wheelchair or mental health or both or anything else for that matter and most of us get treated like the cleanest way and the most nicest way I could put it is something like from the dark ages yes in fairness and balance we have all different restrictions in one way or another.

I will give you one example in-depth and one in short since I was very little and because we are now living in a superficial society, having a boyfriend in a wheelchair doesn't exactly look good if you're worried about your social status/public image, yes this doesn't go for everyone in the world and this is what I have learned over many, many, many, many, many, many [I think you get the point] years, in fact if you want me to be honest yet factual it is getting worse, because in a nutshell as it stands I can't say anything to women, without getting some backlash of some description in a high percentage of cases, but they can say anything they want whenever they want, under the impression that I have no leg to stand on [technically/physically this is true,] I don't respond all the time but when I do be it in the real world or anywhere else they are surprised, as if I shouldn't be responding.

Now on to the one in short there is still such a stigma around mental health that, being in a wheelchair plus my mental health usually results in the female in question disappearing [let me put it this way it is a great impression of the RoadRunner,] I am not grinding my axe but to be fair these are how things are based on my life experience, consequently I have learned my place in the social order of things.

So there is only one rhetorical question left "How far are they going to push this woman's movement whilst in comparison the rest of us are left out in the cold?"

Wasted: Ricochet's First Main Roster Championship Run with the United States Championship by AverageMansReviews

Wasted: Ricochet's First Main Roster Championship Run with the United States Championship by AverageMansReviews

Let's begin with the background first: now if it should happen you have a different opinion to myself; I am going to say something here which is going to sound very strange "I agree with you." That the WWE made the right choice here, because some of you out there may say something to this effect "That they couldn't have Style lose here because he has recently reformed The Club and more importantly he has lost to Ricochet before for this championship." So the WWE really backed themselves into a corner here.

Here is what they should have done: so my rhetorical question is this; why did they book this match for Extreme Rules? When if they were to look at the bigger picture it would have been of greater value to everyone involved for this championship drop to happen at Summer Slam, I mean if they want to get really creative yet simple put the stipulation of a Ladders Match in place, so you can protect Ricochet from the loss kind of [not being pinned] and put the championship on Styles.

If they used my idea it would have given Ricochet a retain over somebody on a pay-per-view. I couldn't care less who it was; they could get Ziggler as he is just a glorified jobber now and let's be honest he has been this for some time [yes just for the record I don't care about the Brand Split or The Wild Card or I'm just going to say this; anything to do with the no more automatic rematch thing. They could even have The Club watching this match from the top of the ramp, waiting to attack these two competitors after this match, just to send a message and Styles issuing a challenge to Ricochet for a match at Summer Slam for the United States Championship in a Ladders Match. [On a quick side note Ziggler is being attacked just because of collateral damage which this would also assist to re-establish The Club as a dominating force as in anyone get in their way, they will put you on your posterior,] I mean if they wanted to they could have Ricochet & Ziggler vs. Anderson & Gallows Tag Team Match 2-out-of-3 falls with Ziggler leaving Ricochet high and dry after the first fall on RAW, the night after this pay-per-view.

Which in turn would have given Ricochet longer with this championship and as it is his first main roster championship run it would have sounded better on a tick sheet; capture a main roster championship check, retain it at least once on a pay-per-view check and after losing it on a big pay-per-view like Summer Slam, he would be in a better position on the card for TV and pay-per-views check [a solid fixture in the mid-card check.]

Making new Superstars: this is why I decided to dictate and put this blog here, because on one hand if they did something to the effect of my suggestion, they would have given Ricochet a push/gave him a new level to work on which would have gave this character/himself time to grow and show more of himself and his character which would have started his journey in this company to being a new superstar. But on the other hand in reality where does he go from here oh yes back to where he was before this championship reign, which in essence makes his first main roster Championship a waste of time, even though this sounds harsh what should be happening is by giving a character/performer a championship or championships it is meant to show what this or these character or characters/performer or performers can bring to the table.

The WWE need to be focusing on their younger talent, now and for the future [yes I am aware that you cannot replace such characters/performers such as The Undertaker,] they should not even attempt to do this. But my point here is they should be prepared for this eventuality, so of course your younger talent are going to make mistakes of some description, but if they are good enough this company needs to keep putting them in the deep end instead of having Lesnar or Rollins [yes as of this blog Rollins is a young guy,] but I want for an example the Universal Championship picture or division to look strong [I'm not saying I want many different holders of this championship, I just wanted to be competitive and this goes for any championship or championships under the WWE umbrella.]

I'm not even suggesting calling-up more from NXT at this time, but what I am suggesting is used the talent that they have already there like surprise your audience/Universe with Rusev receiving a WWE Championship Match from out of nowhere at SummerSlam for an example.

But back onto what I was saying originally; so like I said at the beginning; I agree that they took the right option to put the United States Championship on Styles, now the next thing I am going to be saying is just speculation so I could be wrong. But why can I now see Ricochet being used to put over The Club, I really hope I am very wrong about this.

Just before I finish this blog I will leave the link of another blog; In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Extreme Rules 2019, because it shows basically there what I have been saying here but much shorter [it was before the change of champion.] But just to finish off this blog now I wouldn't have minded if they did this thing on Ricochet's second or any other number main roster championship run, but it was his first and it makes the entire celebration thing with some Superstars and Triple H. look  silly now.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 5, Disc 2] Episode 57: The Key to Vector Sigma: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another episode which is lots of fun

Storyline: it is a continuation from the previous storyline.

Origin storyline/Action sequences: we have another new collective but this time for the Autobots being born in this episode collectively known as [the Aerialbots.] The action sequences are manic with great imagination as we have many characters on screen all over the place.

Character developments: there are four things I want to point out; depending on your interpretation/if you have young children or children there is an element of death in one way, but still living in another way. This will make much better sense when or if you choose to watch this episode, but I was just thinking I would give you a heads up to give you time to think of a way of how to explain this to your children and there is more there is another character that almost dies.

Now generally speaking at some points in this episode there is some friction between the Aerialbots and the Autobots and yes there is chemistry between these two collectives in this episode as well and on top of that we even have Megatron being disgruntled with Soundwave in this small scene.

This episode receives: 10/10, this is another episode which has lots to offer in an enthusiastic manner.
