Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/slavery/animal cruelty/stabbing/cutting/transformation/disfigurement/self harm/burning/decapitation

It mostly look good, but, but: the storyline itself is the basic formula of  an adventure film title; basically Horus [Nikolaj Coster-Waldau] and this mortal Bek [Brenton Thwaites] make this equally beneficial deal to get something from one another Horus gets his eye back consequently restoring his powers fully, but so much more importantly seeking revenge for the deaf of his father Osiris [Bryan Brown] by his uncle/Osiris' brother Set [Gerard Butler] and Bek will get his girlfriend Zaya [Courtney Eaton] hopefully back before she fully crosses over.

No way should this film has been roughly 127 minutes long, they could have easily cut off a grand total of 25 minutes just to give this film a bit more/a lot more get up and go to it. But because this film is the way it is it gives the viewers plenty of time with these characters and performances and minus this very small selection characters/performers the rest of them follow their cliché character types with generic performances, including  what I said about the storyline format this quickly gets meh. The first one is Ra [Geoffrey Rush] his scenes or sequences are amazing; being wise when he speaks or his physical representation or his action, basically anything to do with this character gets a thumbs up. Likewise Thoth [Chadwick Boseman] brings a positive influence on to this film, yes there are other comedy bits and pieces in this film, but when he comes into the film later on he is just being this character as he is the Egyptian God of Wisdom so this entire representation character and performance is absolutely spot on and comically endearing. Now on to the voice work Anubis [voiced by Goran D. Kleut] and Head Judge [voiced by Bruce Spence] these two individually are excellent and the storyteller/narration by Older Bek [voiced by Lindsay Farris] is good as well.

Now don't get me wrong generally speaking the art like the landscapes and so on can also be seen as a positives as well, but having said that there are occasions that will bring you down to earth such as the slow motion in the action sequences, full disclosure of what I can remember this doesn't happen that often, but they still irritate me [Newsflash film industry it isn't 1999 any more and the only live action film that should be allowed to use it today is The Matrix franchise, this is speculation on my part, I don't know and I really don't care if it was for 3-D effects as you can see/hear all that does now is irritate me profusely.]

When we have Horus and Set in their animal forms [because of what happens in the film I am not going to be too specific about their animal type,.] On reflection they are okay when there is only one on screen at one specific time; But when you have them battling it looks ugly and a chaotic mess.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed, like I have already indicated this film has consistently something to offer for one final example the serpents sequence involving Horus, Bek, Astarte [Yaya Deng,] Anat [Abbey Lee] and Hathor [Elodie Yung] trust me you won't be able to miss this sequence. But on the whole this film is really a mixed bag of take it or leave it.

No surprise here but this film has quite a few awards credited to its name; 14 [2 Winners and 12 Nominees] here are two positive awards; Winner; ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2017; ASCAP Award; Top Box Office Films; Marco Beltrami. Nominee; Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards 2017; FCCA Award; Best Music; Marco Beltrami. Now onto the negatives; Winner; All Def Movie Awards 2017; All Def Movie Award; Most Out of Place White Person in a Movie. Nominee; for an example Houston Film Critics Society Awards 2017; HFCS Award; Worst Picture.

 

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Royal Rumble 2022 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Royal Rumble 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Just a heads up: I really haven't been keeping up with this company, I know little bits and pieces and these matches may be in the wrong order. Additional; this was originally dictated on Monday 23 and it is now Friday 28/01/2022 so I am now very much aware that Ronda Rousey is and this is speculation on my part, but more than likely going to be our new WWE Raw Woman's Champion again Great! [I say that with lots and lots of sarcasm] and it looks like we won't be getting my idea for the Men's Main Brand Championships.

I have just kept things as they are in this predictions just based on you can see my original ideas and if Mr McMahon changes his mind at any point between now and the biggest stage of all in professional wrestling WrestleMania; yes after WrestleMania it should be the point where this company do a hard reset.

Men's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Man Royal Rumble Match for WWE or Universal Championship Match at WrestleMania 38/2022: my pick is Seth Rollins. Now obviously this does depend on the order of these matches on this card, I originally went for Roman Reigns to win here, but because of the global pandemic and the change of plans at WWE Day 1, a logical outcome would be Rollins based on if I was booking WrestleMania I still want him in the mix and give him a good reason to be in the storyline based on fact and yes this would mean he would be on double duty for this pay-per-view at WWE Royal Rumble 2022 [I have just thought of something, but I will discuss later.]

Women's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match for a Woman's Raw or SmackDown Championship Match at WrestleMania 38/2022: my pick is Ronda Rousey. As I said here WWE Day 1 2022 Links https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2022/01/in-depth-predictionsother-elements-for.html even though I have picked her and yes this is just heavily speculation, but there is always the possibility of a surprise entrant, I would greatly prefer Sasha Banks to win here and to topple Lynch at WrestleMania 2022/38, because as I have also said in the same link I don't see Lynch being champion after this year's WrestleMania, I know I have said this already but please not Rousey, put it on Alexa Bliss or Lita, I don't mind just not Rousey.

Bobby Lashley [with MVP] vs. Champ Brock Lesnar [with Paul Heyman;] Singles Match for the WWE Championship: my pick is Brock Lesnar. [Likewise I will discuss this more later on.]

Piper Niven vs. Champ Becky Lynch; Singles Match for the Raw Women's Championship: my pick is Becky Lynch. I have only two things to say here; 1. Just to remind everyone; I refuse to use the challenger's main roster character name based on the grounds it is stupid and garbage. 2. Speculation again Lynch's match for her championship will more than likely if I had my way headline Night 1 of WrestleMania this year which is Saturday 02/04/2022 to Sunday 03/04/2022.

Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. The Miz & Maryse; Mixed Tag Team: my pick is Edge & Beth Phoenix. Yes I am happy with my pick, which my many years of experience with the company I smell the odour of 50-50 booking here, so don't be too surprised if The Miz & Maryse pick up the W. here.

Seth Rollins vs. Champ Roman Reigns; Singles Match for the Universal Championship; with the rest of The Bloodline;The Usos [Jey & Jimmy Uso] are banned from ringside: my pick is qualification, like I have been making reference to in this predictions I would discussing later so here we are. I am no doubt The Usos will try to get involved first, which is indicated by them being banned from ringside, it tells you something is going to go down. But this is not where I expect the disqualification to come from I expect the disqualification to come from Lesnar [with Heyman] to come down and destroy everyone.

I am very much aware that this wrestling promotion doesn't do long-term booking, but however they need a massive match for this year's WrestleMania so here it is why not do a WrestleMania 35/2019 [Becky Lynch vs. the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs. the Raw Woman's Champion Ronda Rousey
Winner Takes All Match.] But just the male version involving Rollins vs. Champ Lesnar [with Heyman] vs. Champ Reigns. I mean whatever the outcome would be everyone is to a certain level protected here [they can always say I didn't get a one-on-one match] and just in case you are wondering I would put the Championships on Rollins, yes if this does happen you can take this as my prediction. Because by the process of elimination meaning Reigns could probably do with some time off and to give his character a break and hell no am I paying Lesnar's contract any more than what I would have to so Rollins is my man to do this hard reset with, but then again if something like this does happen I can see Mr McMahon just deliberately infuriating the WWE Universe/fan base by going for Lesnar just to satisfy the audience of one him self and as a joke which also would amuse him greatly [one very final thing; just to cover my back I don't care about the brand split; it is a joke, they will enforce it or forget about it, if or when it suits them to do either.]

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

All round to Moe's Tavern: because this is a short film project [roughly 5 minutes long] I will keep this short. It is Disney+'s Anniversary and we have a selection of Disney properties having a party at Moe's Tavern.

Now be it The Simpsons or Disney they are individually or together made a legacy reputation of outstanding, easy to settle down with art/animation so obviously this is going to be incredibly easy to settle down with as we so much to see and experience in such a short amount of time, for an example what with these characters mingling in this project or in these still pictures when the ending credits. For an example of a character you will see at some point in this project; BB-8 [from the Star Wars Universe.]

In one way or another The Simpsons yet again poke fun at Disney there is one based around how Donald Duck speaks.

But I can talk about this We also have this musical number from Lisa Simpson [voiced/sung by Yeardley Smith] in her usual clothing then switches to a princess costume where she basically highlights this is just a basic description; what Disney+ can offer you [I know this is not the only time that they make reference to what they can offer you Maleficent [voiced by Tress MacNeille] Sleeping Beauty 1959 version does it as well but she did it in the context of if you name is not on the list you're not coming in, but I digress] if your kids are driving you crazy put them in front of the TV, Disney stockholders and the automatic renewal.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is lots of fun; this is of the usual incredibly high standards of The Simpsons. I decided to go with Moe's full place name, I was thinking I would quickly address that be for a received any comeback. But as things stand this project has no awards credited to its name which is the only thing missing.

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/other effects/animal cruelty/drowning/impaling/shooting

The true Mother Nature is back: Storyline, Art Action and Character [Character developments:] well we have these two fishermen fishing at Loob Lake which is fine based on their is a sign that says catch and release only all in capitals [with a fish underneath; and there are some other words underneath like thank you; there is more but we don't have a clear camera shot.] But let's just say these fishermen are breaking that rule.

They should really take a look behind themselves, don't worry it isn't Jason Voorhees on a vocation from Camp Crystal Lake as these vines come out of the water and quickly and efficiently take care of them as the viewers see Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy slowly rising/walking onto land.

What we have here is both a negative but also a positive situation where negatively speaking it puts all the other character developments to shame minus Beth Kane/Alice, because within two episodes roughly they have established Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy in every way possible even when she was being held where she was being held, it just really hammers home if or when the people working on this TV program want to they can establish something/someone with all-round purpose and presentation without their agenda of basically wokeness. And for those quick mouths people; yes I am aware that Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy is an Doctor; expert in botany, toxicology and genetics,. eco-warrior and a lesbian. I have never had problems with people from different walks of life being represented on TV or film or others, but how can I put this nicely firstly I don't like things being rammed down my throat and secondly Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy is an adult meaning the list I have just listed are components of her which makes her; her which consequently makes her a lot easier to settle down with as it relates to a viewing experience. So on to the positive [yes I know I have inadvertently covered some of the positives.] But however the positives are at least now it isn't just Beth Kane/Alice and Dr. Hamilton/Poison Ivy caring this TV program we now have Dr. Isley/Poison Ivy.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good: this episode comes up mostly all green.

Warning: there is flashing/other effects/dehydrating/medical/environment/impaling/stabbing/electrocution

And when things couldn't get any more complicated this happens: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Art; these combined in one way or another; the viewers get given now and again the back story and relationship between Renee Montoya and Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy. This is informative, clean and tidy, consequently because of this it is a smooth rotation between the past and present, beginning scene with scene beginning and after a little time "Ten years ago" all in capitals appearing on the screen.

Wilder/Batwoman Montoya and Moore are searching for Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy somewhere lowdown and well hidden [yes I know where, but I am choosing to leave this out, based on that would be given too much away of this episode.] But I can say from the art perspective, they made Dr. Pamala Isley/Poison Ivy look great and the same can be said for her holding place; they really did put in a lot of effort and time here with the smallest details on her and her holding place.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; I just have this feeling from now on until the end of this TV series, it's just going to be a case of a mixed bag from the sense of in this case there are enough good flowers in this bunch over the ones that are either wilting or dying or dead.

Thor 2011 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/disfigurement/medical animal cruelty/stabbing/beheading.

The truth will out: as this film is an origin film title, it quickly dawns on the viewers that the son of Odin Thor [Chris Hemsworth] is still mentally too young and naive to take responsibility for his actions. Odin [Anthony Hopkins] stripped him of everything including Mjollnir [Thor's hammer with this spell "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor!"] Then Thor gets banished from the realm Eternal Asgard and sent down to Midgard [Earth,] where he accidentally collides with Jane Foster's [Natalie Portman] consequently meets her, Erik Selvig [Darcy Lewis] and Darcy Lewis [Kat Dennings.] Now this all takes place with the watchful gaze of Loki [Tom Hiddleston;] he does try to speak up for his brother at the beginning of this back and forth between Odin and Thor but he is quickly silenced by his father. You see Odin is wise and both of his sons will not/do not understand his wisdom in either of their potential destiny's and just a friendly heads up there is an ending credit right at the end. The pacing is always moving and like the storyline content it fundamentally sound.

I find it very difficult to dislike this film, because it sets out what it wants to do and it very easily achieves what it has been set out to do, in this case basically the beginning.

I mean yes the character developments are of a standard layered format of things, but hey, hey. But when you have a cast of performers assembled like this with everyone pulling their weight, with all of them bringing something to the table, mixed in with the fact that this is as I have already said an origin film.

 Because of this it makes the other aspects of the film very easy to settle down with; like in no particular order [yes it will be in some kind of order, I just say this so if I get something slightly or in the wrong order it covers me for that potential outcome.]

The art and action [when it is appropriate] is eye capturing regardless of what realm we are on Asgard; majestic and glorious or Jounheim; being extremely cold with lots of snow and the realm of the Frost Giants; led by Laufey - King of the Frost Giants [Colm Feore] and these themselves look dark blue, highly detailed and menacing or on Midgard as we have Thor doing combat against the Destroyer [ basic description of a giant Asgard Knight, something like Earth realms's Middle Ages Knight, but incredibly strong and has the ability to fire flames out of wearing his face should be [ it doesn't have a face, just dark holes where I would be as when it wants to fire flames into opening up these eyesocket down and firing, but don't worry Thor is reunited with Mjollnir he looks like his old self again, but this couldn't be further from the truth, but I digress as Thor with Mjollnir generates this hurricane which eventually lifts the Destroyer off his feet and they have a very small but very impactful action sequence within the confines of this hurricane.

Finally we do have some comedy in the mix as well for just two examples [they are the same thing but there are two of them.] Heimdall [Idris Elba] he is a gatekeeper, more specifically Asgard's Bifrost Bridge [Bifrost Bridge; is a rainbow Bridge between the other eight realms; nine in total, basically if you have ever played Mario Kart; Rainbow Road you get the basic idea.

So the general idea is not to get Heimdall, but I am paraphrasing here of I don't know how I know now how these people got past me, but I should point out these two examples are similar both welcome as they are funny; the comedy itself smoothly fit in with the rest of the film.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is lots of fun; it sets down very stable foundation for the following instalments be built upon. This film also has some awards credited to its name; Winners 5 for an example Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2012; Winner; Saturn Award; Best Costumes Alexandra Byrne. Nominations 30 for an example at the same award ceremony; Best Fantasy Film.

Match/Stipulations: The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff [with "The Hollywood Fashion Plate" Freddie Blassie] vs. the WWF Tag Team Champions The U.S. Express [Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo with Captain Lou Albano:] Tag Team Match for the WWF Tag Team Championships

Match Attributes:

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 45/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match/match slot is all good, this is speculation but I don't know whether everyone was informed that they had been given a very small match time of just under 7 minutes, on a quick side note I have just realised the previous match had the identical amount of time and the upcoming matches have a similar time and as well until the main event, I am just remembering this is why I chose this pay-per-view over the Christmas period, I wanted to do a big pay-per-view to get some content out; but hey, hey never mind.]

On reflection is Monsoon building up/promoting WrestleMania which I have no problem with, but I am not too keen on Venture saying this is just another excerpt " You have seen dead Super Bowls and World Series, but you definitely not seeing a dead WrestleMania." I get where he is coming from, but as this is the first WrestleMania we have nothing to compare it to.

We have the heel team performing this double team in their corner which doesn't go according to plan as The Sheik puts Windham in front of Volkoff, so they can immobilise Windham; Volkoff is standing on the apron holding Windham, The Sheik backs up to go in to perform this dropkick but Windham drops down and gets out of their corner, consequently Volkoff takes this dropkick and The Sheik is apologetic, this is a good piece of goofiness as the match continues, Monsoon quickly takes us to see this action will play of this double team going wrong and then quickly back to live action.

Basic Result: your new WWF Tag Team Champions The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff [with "The Hollywood Fashion Plate" Freddie Blassie]

Background information: after this match; we have Monsoon and Venture taking a look/discussing the action replay and then Monsoon talks more about what we have just seen he tries to bring Venture into the conversation he was getting ready to say something, but before he does Monsoon hands things over to Okerlund to get a live interview with the new WWF Tag Team Champions and their manager after that Okerlund sends things back to Monsoon with him still talking about the injustice with Venture and claiming there was blood squirting somewhere out of The Sheik, on a replay it is just coming out of his far hand second finger knuckle [on another replay without giving too much away and this is just speculation, it's quite easy to see how this may have happened, because The Sheik does something very hard and maybe a shard could have rebounded, but on the upside this match outlay does what it is designed to do, without anyone looking weak.] Monsoon sends things to Hayes with him not getting distracted by anyone or anything in short, still looking as if he is reading an autocue introduces the pre-recorded video package Okerlund with Big John Stud and his manager Bobby " The Brain" Heenan talking about this upcoming match on this pay-per-view next Career VS. $15,000 Body Slam Challenge with "The Eighth Wonder of The World"André The Giant; additional where if André can't body slam, meaning Stud just has to last until the match time expires, André must retire, but if he does body slam Stud he gets $15,000. Okerlund sending things back to Monsoon once again talking about how brilliant WrestleMania is/has been and once again Venture putting the same sports from earlier under the bus with Stud and Heenan heading into the ring with Monsoon handing things over to Finkel to do his thing with him explaining the rules of this match then The Giant heading down with the same security used throughout this pay-per-view for wrestlers and on-screen characters and into the ring.

Warning: there is flashing/colourful effects/shooting/drugs/burning/human urination

One wrong is bigger and worse than the other: on the day of his release from prison after serving a decade Roy [Rob Gough] is seeking answers, about his girlfriend at the time Bridget Baker which is dead [Sarah May Sommers,] he won't be asking these questions on his own as some members of Bridget's family want answers as well in her older sister Grace Baker [Anna Hindman] and older brother Toby Baker [Johann Urb.] The pacing is solid and functional, and you know, it knows what it is doing and settled down to its task.

Well as this is a predominantly situation-based action, meaning it takes place around the location of this house which Dr John Keats [Cullen G. Chambers] lives at, he was the last one to see her alive.

So for an example at one point we have these two hired guns  that works for this highly influential individual that runs this town [Georgia town] by the name of  Charles Rutledge  [Timothy V. Murphy.]

But I digress, in a basic description; Sheriff Ben Watts [Bruce Willis] is against this drone strike, but Silas [Johnny Messner] saying it has been okayed by Rutledge, so these two hired guns, one is piloting and the other may be doing the drop, I don't know we don't see is device long enough, all I know is they are working together. But no need to worry about that, because even before they get the opportunity, Grace Baker shoots this drone out of the sky and into this pond with the pilot hired gun being disappointed by this with Sheriff Ben Watts laughing.

The characters developments and performances are solid types of what they are and the same can be said for the performances.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; well to be more precise it is a solid little film, I am just wondering if this kind of film would have been better being adapted to a theatre production instead, as it wouldn't need too many scenery changes based on as I have already alerted to it predominately is based around this house location so it could be done if they were to work in the confines of a theatre stage.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/feeding/animal cruelty/transformation/medical/character on fire/burning/shooting

So what's the point of this reboot?: I mean for roughly the first 36 minutes all you get is the origin and background work of the storyline and these characters in some capacity and as you can tell by me making reference to roughly 36 minutes it isn't exactly quick or engaging. But generally speaking the Umbrella Corporation has been doing strange experiments in Raccoon City and now The Umbrella Corporation is withdrawing from this City there is now increasingly strange goings-on here. Just a friendly heads up there is a scene be for the closing credits. The pacing is what it is; meaning on one hand, because of this timeframe and its content is so damaging that on the other hand for the remaining of this project it can solidly hold things together but the damage had already been done and this film is only roughly 107 minutes long.

The RCPD [Raccoon City Police Department] there is this Rookie RPD Leon S. Kennedy [Avan Jogia] is on the front desk as everyone else in this department is discussing and working on this urgent situation. He falls asleep listening to this music through his headset, so he is unaware that he has this truck [ one of those tanker ones] heading towards this building; Trucker Driver [Pat Thornton] seems to be going through this metamorphosis thanks to his dog biting him, which unfortunately this dog seems to be changing as well.

But what remains of this Trucker's humanity seems to cause his truck to go on its side and consequently burst into flames. This is still blissfully unaware as the camera shot is looking through the door at him with sounds and flames of the wreckage can be heard [seen as it relates to the flames] with the song which our Rookie is listening to "CRUSH" by Jennifer Paige which now accompanies this scene, with this trucker walking into this Police Department on fire [ when I say on fire I mean like Johnny Storm/The Human Torch,] just before he makes it to the front desk he gets shot by someone out of the scene which causes the music and simultaneously our Rookie wakes up with surprise/automatically does stand up and get out of the way with saying "What the ****! With the camera shot spanning right to reveal Chief Irons [Donal Logue] with his gun drawn and standing at the top of these stairs with these words "You may want to get a fire extinguisher and closed the gates there may be others." The Chef turned his back and carries on with the Rookie asking with a stutter starting the beginning stages of the word others turning his head to face the Chief "Other What?!" But he doesn't get an answer so he quickly gets on with the tasks he has been given.

The character developments and performances fulfil their purpose; Claire Redfield [child; Lily Gail Reid and adult; Kaya Scodelario] and Chris Redfield [child; Daxton Grey Gujral and adult; Robbie Amell.] Generally speaking have this not believing his sister that she heard or saw strange things going on in this Raccoon City Orphanage/his sister returning after five years and him siding with Dr William Birkin/Mutant [Neal McDonough,] in a nutshell because he has been very supportive throughout Chris' life case and point he is now a member of  STARS Alpha Team, another member of this team is Jill Valentine; Special Tactics And Rescue Service [Hannah John-Kamen;] these are just some of the characters and their performers but as I have already made reference to the cast fulfil their purpose.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; yes as I have pointed out the RCPD sequence is has lots to offer as it relates to action, art, and yes things do get better, consistently better when we are heading into or in Spencer's Mansion in its entirety and beyond [just in case if you're wondering roughly around the 45 minute mark; is when we start in this location, but we don't stay in this location to begin with, but at some point we will stay here] or we go back to the Raccoon City Orphanage in present times But I stand by what I said earlier so what was the point of this reboot? Because the previous series of films only ended roughly 4 years ago in 2017 and to begin the reboot with a 3/10, based on my opinion is not exactly a good start, I should quickly point out again that the first 36 minutes of this project does so much damage that for a long time this film was looking  at something lower for a long time and to be fair to myself, I have already highlighted the this film does get much better, so this is another situation of counterbalance and I can't repeat what I actually said when this film was finished, but I can put a softer version instead of "That was fudging poop."

Now just to cover my back after doing some research I am aware that I gave the previous series of films and their instalments some less than positive marks as well, but in comparison I gave Resident Evil 2002 8/10 Link  https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2018/10/resident-evil-2003-by-averagemansreviews.html which is something supremely better which to base your potential franchise on

Morningstar vs. Granamyr; challenge to a test of fire for leadership over the Dragons: Action, Art, Character [Character developments] and Moral message; these combined in one way or another; these two Dragon's are in mid-air with a distance in the middle facing one another they breathe out a flame of fire each and it creates this clash of flames after the first moment we get to look to Duncan/Man-At-Arms and Prince Adam in this Wind Raider in the air as well talking about this situation and connecting things, then we go back to this tug-of-war after Granamyr victorious. Morningstar surrenders and admits to his wrongdoing, these two other Dragons want to see Granamyr deal out hard consequences for Morningstar's misdoings because it is Granamyr's right. But Granamyr shows precisely why he is the leader of the other Dragons, with his wisdom as he goes on to say " No my brothers it is my right, but it wouldn't be right, we will find a better way to administer justice now let's go home." This is all good.

The moral message is essentially [I am paraphrasing here] about winning and losing; and in this case how Granamyr in this episode when he won he let go; so winning or losing it is about knowing how to do both right.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; even though I have just spoken about a small section of it as I usually do nowadays, this episode does have lots to offer

Warning: there are flashing effects/other effects/white supremacy/hanging/disfigurement/shooting/animal cruelty

I'll call your bluff: Storyline, Action, Character [Character developments] and Comedy; in one where another these components combined; unfortunately it is the day of Chief of the Tulsa Police Judd Crawford funeral where The Seventh Kavalry member has dug this large hole inside this church, where this funeral is roughly taking place [when I said roughly I mean this ceremony is taking place outside near to this church.]

This Seventh Kavalry member attaches this dynamite to himself/his heart, which if anyone shoots him this dynamite goes off, so he gatecrashers this ceremony and in a nutshell wants to take this one individual Senator Joe Keene, Jr. and if he doesn't everyone dies, so he goes with this individual, but from out of nowhere this Seventh Kavalry gets a bullet in the head from FBI Agent Laurie Blake [Anti-Vigilante Task Force.] But she doesn't come alone she has another Agent with her by the name of Agent Dale Petey and he is only here because Agent Blake was told by her superior Deputy Director Farragut; basically she couldn't go on her own she had to take another Agent with her to Tulsa, so that is why he is here.]

But I digress this Seventh Kavalry member wasn't bluffing as his heartbeat slows down/it sounds like he/it is getting ready to explode so Abar starts the evacuation with "Run" everyone runs with her dragging this Seventh Kavalry member into this burial hole meant for Chief of the Tulsa Police Crawford in his casket and then she pushes/drops the Chief of the Tulsa Police Crawford in his casket on top of this Seventh Kavalry and Abar does this quick run away and jump in the air when they are is this explosion with Agent Blake falling back at the same time to symbolise the impact of this explosion; with Abar looking at Agent Blake as to ask in a serious manner "Why did you do that?" With Agent Blake looking back as to reply in likewise a serious manner "I thought he was bluffing." There is another joke later on this is just an excerpt; Abar: "Crawford jumped on the grenade I just gave him a little push."

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; yet again this is another episode which has lots to offer its viewers from beginning to end

Discovering Roboto: Storyline, Action, Art and Character [Character developments;] these combined in one way or another; we meet Duncan/Man-At-Arms and Prince Adam in this Wind Raider after this previous engagement as this signal comes up in Wind Raider so they go to investigate down below, now on foot in this Dune surroundings as Prince Adam discovers something big under the sand so instead of doing this excavation dig which let's be honest would have taken ages, Prince Adam just summons He-Man, he gets Duncan/Man-At-Arms to stand back and just blows this very powerful gust of wind to reveal this badly damaged ship.

But unfortunately on doing this Prince Adam/He-Man disturbs and consequently makes this giant crab very angry Prince Adam/He-Man on investigating this ship turns around and quickly realising with this look of absolute fear says "Duncan look out!" As he himself quickly turns around with absolute fear in his entire being as from Duncan/Man-At-Arms' perspective [top-notch camera work/art in this entire sequence] as diagonally Duncan/Man-At-Arms and we come to realise how gigantic this crap actually is with more fear in Duncan/Man-At-Arms' all-round body language, I will finish things they are because there is still a lot in this sequence of events and yes Prince Adam/He-Man does do combat with this giant crab.

After dealing with this situation; they head into this ship where they discover this pilot which is a non-functional robot so Duncan/Man-At-Arms takes the decision to get him back to his lab at the Royal Palace of Eternia to try and fix up.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it fluently has something to offer its viewers to keep them engaged in this episode from beginning to end.
