Warning: there are flashing/colourful/other effects

One-Eyed Bulk & Doc Skullovitch's narrative; Who is The Pink Stranger?: One-Eyed Bulk comes up with the idea of using a divining rod based on the idea that in his words "People are 90% w-w-water." as this divining rod takes him to the nearest water supply, which would be this water trough for horses to drink from; this storyline element and sketch comedy is good, but it has to be said I prefer the jail escape sketch [I have already discussed one comedy sketch so I can't discuss another, it just feels like I would be giving too much away; I can point it out fair enough if I want to, but I can't discuss it.]

What a defence: we have this monster projecting these pin balls at the Mega Tigerzord and this large red beam comes out of the mouth of the White Tigerzord to create this square shield to reflect these projectiles back to once they came; this is excellent action and art going hand-in-hand here.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; it is a good conclusion to this two-parter storyline

Warning: there are flashing/colourful/other effects

Storyline: it is good; it the ground running and keeps things going fluently from beginning to end.

Bang, bang: we have the action and comedy going hand-in-hand here; One-Eyed Bulk & Doc Skullovitch sticking up this stagecoach; on doing this The White Stranger on his white steed appears, basically Doc Skullovitch has brought the wrong pistols with them, because on firing them at The White Stranger; they are these joke pistols that on firing them; this piece of fabric/paper [I don't know what it is] comes out with the word BANG in big black text [yes those joke pistols;]

Bloopers: in short the majority of The Power Rangers go to intercept Goldar, this monster and these Z-Putties from reaching this Time Hole, but these Z-Putties get through after this combat sequence Goldar, this monster and then The Power Rangers go to this Time Hole porthole [but not the one which is closer to them at this point, but to the one in the Angel Grove Youth Center, Gym and Juice Bar which is located by these lockers, so why didn't everyone just use the closer one instead of walking this far? I would have let this all slide, because maybe it is possible to have more than one Time Hole porthole and they couldn't do this enthusiastic action sequence in the Angel Grove Youth Center, Gym and Juice Bar so I understand moving it to this wide open location, I just wanted to bring this up as I have already said I understand and it makes sense to me for them to move it. But for The Power Rangers having this group conversation Ayesha/The Yellow Power Ranger saying " There's gotta be another way in! "[Me thinking; Yes you have just come from a location which had another Time Hole porthole which it would have been closer to you.] Billy/The Blue Power Ranger saying "Not from here the energy's dispersed." [Me thinking; So go back to the other one that.] Rocky/The Red Power Ranger says "If that's true we've lost Kimberly." [Me thinking; Hello is this thing on? There is another Time Hole porthole, you have just walked away from it; which once again you would have been closer to it; we never see it but we are led to believe that it is somewhere near.] A small/very tiny moment later [I have missed out a little bit of a dialogue exchanges, because there is nothing there for me to pick apart.] So I will move on we have Tommy/The White Power Ranger saying "I don't want to leave here, cause it's our only link to Kim." [Me thinking; there is another  Time Hole porthole and Rocky/The Red Power Ranger and Tommy/The White Power Ranger both drop versions of Kimberly's name. [Yes I don't care they are on their own someone could have overheard them or something like this; a secret identity is a secret identity end of story, so if you're keeping score the only ones that didn't say anything for me to pick apart are Billy/The Blue Power Ranger, Adam/The Black Power Ranger and Saba and yes I am aware Saba doesn't say anything or get used in this location, but it still counts and finally if you're wondering if The Power Rangers had taken the second Time Hole porthole what they have came across this raunchy which Kimberly is? Well let me put it this way if the Z-Putties can find their way here I think The Power Rangers can do the same as well.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; there are things consistently happening, so this is a good start for this two-parter.

Warning: there are flashing/colourful/other effects

Bulk & Skull’s narrative; Who are The Power Rangers?: We meet up again with Bulk & Skull as they bring this monster to life [unknowingly to them; it is because Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd brings this monster to life and not them.] What follows this is Bulk & Skull running through this garage wall and making these stencil images of themselves, quickly followed by this monster and his stencil image; this is a good storyline narrative and element of comedy.

2-on-1: the Thunder Megazord and the White Tigerzord/White Tigerzord: Warrior Mode, taking one Mondo the Magician. The art and action work hand-in-hand here; Mondo the Magician looks truly evil and ominous as he has predominantly black clothing, long jacket, straps going around the body with this blue wide strip going underneath these body straps, with a hat that connects around the chin area, with a monocle [on my right, his left eye,] he is silver, black eyes with blue slightly long fingernails, has a very dangerous looking sword and as his name would suggest he has mystical powers as well.

He has no problem showing The Power Rangers what he can do with his sword and a smidgen of his power as he puts his right hand [loosely claw with this hum of aggression to illustrate he is charging up for an attack,] roughly over the facility of his left eye without touching it there is some distance here, turn the same hand over [on closer inspection his hand looks more open as he is getting ready to perform this attack and on top of that we have him doing this quiet evil laugh] slowly moves hand to the right with these white thunder effects happening with electrical sound effects [he is still quietly laughing] knocking down the Thunder Megazord short-term.

 

The camera work has to be given praise as well briefly; where we have Mondo the Magician looking down diagonally and telling The Power Rangers/the Thunder Megazord "Get up so I can finish you off face-to-face."This entire scene is great camera work.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it does have so much to offer on the artistic front, but having said that this action sequence which I have illustrated in this review is too short and did we really need to destroy Mondo the Magician, he had so much more to offer; you will see what I mean when you watch this episode [I can't say too much more than that because I will be breaking the 3 to 5 things about one episode rule.]

Average Extra of: MrGirl Cuties: An Uncomfortably Honest Review by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: MrGirl Cuties: An Uncomfortably Honest Review by AverageMansReviews

Warning/Disclaimer: I want to make this crystal clear I am not a medical professional, I have life experience with a mental health illness so I am speaking from this perspective and when I say I laughed at this, it wasn't funny; funny it was what the hell?! Funny, funny and much more importantly I am not I repeat I am not condoning anything this individual has said as it relates to the sexual nature of this film and neither am I giving you/this individual a reason or in this case something to hide behind and usually I wouldn't criticize someone else's content, but I think we can all agree or like 99.9% of us can agree that this needs to be discussed and it has just dawn on me, by me producing this blog I am potentially giving him what he wants, which is people talking about him [this is speculation on my part.]

Let's get down to business: now I have seen this: it took me three attempts to get through this; I do believe based on my viewing experience and life experience this individual has some form of mental illness, because when he talks about this project away from the sexual component it is coherent and so-called normal and it makes sense, but the problem is one second and I do stress in one very tiny second he switches between what is okay [reasonable] to something which is unbelievably not reasonable and very, uncomfortable and I know this is not a medical terminology but he goes off the deep end, so far off the deep end even Arthur Curry/Aquaman is like "Oh Hell No!, you're on your own."

His body language and everything changes it is weird, he does come over as an highly articulate individual so if there is a mental illness or something like this; he is a high functioning version of this mental illness/others which of what I have seen based on my research of this individual [I have watched some of his other content,] does come over as highly articulate, but however very confrontational be it online or in the real-world [just for the record yes I can say in the real-world, because in one of his videos he interviews someone about Black Lives Matter and he comes over as a confrontational idiot, he is trying to bait her but he does say to her "I am on your side, you don't have to convince me" this is an excerpt but it still has that confrontational atmosphere and tone, so he could just be appeasing her; full disclaimer I did not watch all of this video, because it goes on for roughly 48 minutes and at that point I had seen enough and interestingly he does mention in another video he doesn't know if he is autistic and on top of that in a nutshell he is aware he irritates people; which if we're being honest is not too surprising really.

I mean let's get back to this review saying highly, highly so highly inappropriate things such as these underage girls are hot, it isn't exactly going to make people want to be around you or converse with you, I mean because I am street-smart I would most definitely stay away from individuals such as he or these, because mental illness or other or not, they believe it is their right to inform the person or persons which are irritating them or have a different opinion to themselves; to inform them of their opinion, but as I am a street-smart individual all this does is instigate a situation quite possibly ending up in violence.

Now this is where I am going to contradict myself here; because of this individuals intelligence there is a very good possibility this is him being him without any form of mental illnesses or other, so as it relates to this review he is aware of the controversial nature of this material in its entirety and once again based on more research [you didn't think I wouldn't say these things without research did you?] More often than not this one video/review has got more views than his average views roughly being 1900 [these figures are rough, this is just by a random selection of his videos/contents and they are of when  this blog was first dictated] he does have one which has a similar views figure as this controversial review.

What I would like to see YouTube do: remove this individual from their platform, because throughout this entire situation with this film and the relating review/blogs if you are a recurring person to my content, I have made it abundantly clear my views on this topic, as I have said previously if an individual highlights that they do not condone the sexual component of this project, but says this film is average or anything other on a positive scale, I am not restricting anyone's opinions, because everyone is entitled to their opinions. But as I am an amicable person I have more time for someone that acknowledges and consequently doesn't condone the sexual component of this film, I mean I have just watched someone else's content about this subject and this individual involved the Bible, I am not religious, but I don't disrespect it. My point being here; if I can take the time to listen to somebody that involves the Bible at some point in their content, there is a wide selection of people I will give time to; as it relates to this subject as long as they don't try to defend the sexual component of this film, like they could say something to the effect of "I get the sexual component, but it is way too much." This would be not strongly defending the sexual component just acknowledging its purpose, consequently this would be an amicable point of view.

But what I am speculating/suggesting here is he could always be saying these things to get the views and so on which I made reference to at the beginning of this blog and [his cousin seems more down to earth and real another full disclosure I didn't watch this video all the way through because I have got to get this done and it was roughly a 43 minutes interview about Black Lives Matter [I will probably go back to watch these two interviews at some point not for this individual and his channel, but to listen to these people he is interviewing,] basically I will ignore him [on a quick side note I am not condoning these criminal activities which he recorded or neither in my condoning a person or persons being an idiot towards this YouTuber in the same video; I am trying to be unbiased here.]

But as it relates to this individual I have to choose my words very carefully, not to protect him, but because I like to make my content nice and safe for anyone to read to the best of my abilities.

I do believe as it relates to this YouTuber and his content/review there is sinister behaviour at minimum to provoke people or something darker which regardless if it is real or fake [I'm just trying to be balanced here look I have just previously said also,] cannot be allowed on this platform or should not be allowed on this platform.

"Why hasn't YouTube gotten involved yet? Because as of this blog it has 78,000 down votes and it contains unpleasant content which no surprise here I have done more research; Community Guidelines; Don't harass others, Don't post ultra-violent videos and there other rules[yes I viewed these rules from genuine YouTube manufactured videos where they basically say look more into it or something to this effect. So yes in theory this is not ultra-violent, but I would be more than happy to if I had the power to put this review under this ruling, based on my viewing experience, I know it isn't ultra-violent and he does say something to the effect of he hasn't watched under age material [but has a small laugh and smile whilst saying "I haven't." as if this is funny,] it's like he knows what we are thinking, I will put this very politely "This man is just wrong!" And he is just trying to provoke anyone and everyone like I have referenced in this blog already, but let's just say this whole contents/review has alarm bells ringing this is why I would say this qualifies as ultra-violent  and even from an unbiased perspective this content not only crosses this line of what is acceptable and what isn't you could comfortably have around the world trip providing you begin in London UK and around the world back to London and then you would still have enough mileage to get to Helsinki Finland and back again to London; this is how much this review/content crosses the line [finally I did revisit this contents to get my references correct or generally correct and yes as it relates to the interview with the individual about Black Lives Matter I have just seen a little bit more and yes he was in fact baiting her of what I've seen so far she hasn't reacted, but is slowly getting frustrated as he continues to push her, briefly I don't know how this YouTuber is still allowed on YouTube and on top of that I don't know how he has as of this blog 267,000 subscribers, because he is an unpleasant confrontational person.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 2,] Episode 108: Storybook Rangers: Part I by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there are flashing/colourful/other effects

Bulk & Skull’s narrative; Who are The Power Rangers?: These two lovable individuals are at this Angel Grove High School Book Fair; mainly because Skull is looking for Skull's Mum's Birthday present he comes across a book entitled "How to cook a Thanksgiving feast? Bulk says "Aer, that would be perfect for your Mum" and [Bulk diagonally walks out of this scene past the camera] and says quieter "I've tasted her cooking."] With Skull looking at him with a mixture of "Did he just say what I think he just said?" Mixed in with a little bit of anger mixed in with a little bit of confusion on his face.

Bulk comes across a book entitled  "Monster Making Made Easy" and basically comes up with the idea they should make a monster, to release it on Angel Grove, to attract the Power Rangers so Bulk & Skull can unmask them; on both counts be it this storyline narrative or element of comedy this is good.

Grumble the Magic Elf: Kimberly, Tommy and Rocky get trapped in this book [the title is the beginning to this section.] Now inside this World it is certainly engaging be it went Kimberly, Tommy and Rocky are in this Forest talking to Grumble the Magic Elf when these Z-Putties show up or when Kimberly, Tommy and Rocky are in this very cold location [where this Snow Monster lives] and presents a big threat to Kimberly, Tommy and Rocky; this is good art and action.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; now don't get me wrong this is another episode or potentially episodes, considering this is the first part of two parter that does have that feeling and look of it should be in Season 1, but let's be positive it is a break away from the norm; Bulk & Skull bring a lot to the table as well, now just in case I have gotten a little bit of Bulk's dialogue exchange wrong, I have never been good at this side of English dialogue exchange or dictation, so apologies for that. I was just thinking I would point that out now, because I know at some point in the future someone will get back to me and say "That dialogue exchange isn't completely correct." So I may as well own up to it now and get it out of the way with.

Average Extra of: Cuties So We Are Bad People If We Don't Agree About This Film Being Good? by AverageMansReviews

 Average Extra of: Cuties So We Are Bad People If We Don't Agree About This Film Being Good? by AverageMansReviews

Warning: I will be bringing up things in this blog that are unpleasant, but I only bring them up to make a valid point.

Real Talking Time:

Now yes it is very true I didn't want to touch this subject again, but I did say something to the effect of if something big transpires then I will revisit this subject and in my eyes this is something not only big but absolutely gigantic.

Why are the people that are against this film bad people?: I find this very disturbing that if you don't agree with this film is a good film then you're basically a bad person, I am speaking generally here, I mean if someone made a decent argument, like this for an example "I'm not condoning any and I do mean any of the sexual component of this title because it is disgusting, but there is substance here so this film is average but I have to stress I don't condone any of the sexual component." I mean even I have said deep, deep, deep, so far deep down there is substance in this project in my review, so I would at least listen to this individual, just for the record she could even say the film is good or anything I'm just saying that on some level it is reasonable for someone to have a different opinion to myself [I am not backtracking on any of my previous blogs on this subject, but I am trying to illustrate there are grounds to at least be civil to one another as it relates to this controversial topic.]

What I have heard from other peoples contents [with them showing their source/sources] is the Director Maïmouna Doucouré [is a woman being politically correct of ethnic background and this film has won an award.] Sundance Film Festival 2020 Winner Directing Award World Cinema - Dramatic; Maïmouna Doucouré 2020 [she has 12 credits to her name as of this blog 6 Winners, 6 Nominations,] so what I take from this; it is okay to come out with a film like this as long as you are; a woman of ethnic background and it wins at least an award [Nominated for 3 others.]

Before you begin angrily typing [I'm this or I am that and if it should happen you are new to my blog or you’re a consistent reader you should be aware or know I have a point and it is world shattering.]

Why is it that Doucouré is being defended by Hollywood and many others? Whilst Weinstein was condemned [rightly so by the way] and is currently serving 23 years in prison but if we are talking about awards [he has 51 credited to his name; 21 Winners and 30 Nominations.]

All this film has done has unearthed massive problems in one way or another such as be it the sexualization and exploitation of young girls or hypocrisy is okay as long as it serves your narrative, purpose and wins you an award. I know I am not the only one thinking could you imagine the backlash if the Director was a man; could you imagine the monsoon of backlash everywhere potentially calling him "A sex offender and saying he should be in prison." looking at 650 videos or recordings of auditions, teaching these young girls what he wants them to do may be on a one-to-one basis, getting the camera shots he wants and many other things, this would blatantly be double standards as well, but hey never mind as long as a woman does it that is acceptable? Not! As far as I'm concerned double standards are double standards regardless of gender or so on, in fact the more I think about it the more I think it is very convenient that no one has spoken about equality here because as I have already referenced if a man had done this he would be receiving backlash, but I forgot people only speak of equality when it fits your narrative, purpose and not forgetting it wins you an award.

I know I am partly brain-damaged and I have a mental illness on top, but can these people defending this film not see the deliberate, highly visual sexualization of young girls. I mean as I have just stated I have my issues, but I can clearly see it and feel strong discussed for it. I really wouldn't think of coming at me with this whole garbage of coming-of-age thing, you know full well that is garbage [Amy our lead character is just 11 years old,] I don't buy it now let's just suppose that this was a coming-of-age film [just work with me here I know it isn't] her Mother and Aunty individually or together would be there for Amy when she is beginning her next stage of life [being polite seasonal changes,] or other forms of dancing [other than sexual] as an interest/could be a career for her you see that would give me grounds to go "Yes there are some elements of coming-of-age." But there isn't, all we have is unpleasant content for like 99.9% of the film

I know I have said this in my review of this film, so I will make it brief here; I really do wonder the motivation of the parents of these young girls, because either in the film industry or outside of it this could potentially destroy these children's lives and what for; being hypocritical on its message of sexualizing underage young girls; by sexualizing underage young girls, so some Director could win one award

So to be honest I am glad I am seen as a bad person, because throughout this whole situation I have learned my moral compass is working fine, when or if I become a parent it will be hard work, but I will be just fine and it has recently come to my attention that an underage female accidentally shows her breast [I didn't know this at the time,] but you know what I'm going to say don't you; this is just so wrong, but as long as a woman is behind this kind of project and wins an award for it; that is all good isn't it?

Do you know what I find truly, truly funny about this tragic situation when any project or specifically a parody film or well-known animated TV program parodies this film at any point in the future; the backlash will be swift and merciless anywhere and I have to ask what is wrong with that? [I know what is wrong with that,] I am specifically talking about if this film is deemed to be excellent and so on and so forth by some people out there, there should be absolutely no problem [yes I know there is a problem by the way I'm just saying] if there is no problem with this film, there should be absolutely no problem with any and I do mean any parodies of it, for the life of me I can't remember this expression oh yes I remember it now "You've made your bed you can now lie in it."[Meaning if this film hadn't been made in the first place there wouldn't be this material for anyone to parody,] so get your popcorn ready because this situation is far, far from done.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 2,] Episode 107: Best Man for the Job by AverageMansReviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 2,] Episode 107: Best Man for the Job by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there are flashing/colourful/other effects

Storyline/The battle of the sexes: now in one way or another there is a lot that in one way or another goes hand-in-hand; be it the storyline firstly being okay, but more to the point it feels and looks like it belongs in Season 1 and not here and now in Season 2. The exact same can be said for the character developments between Kimberly, Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger and Tommy, Tommy/The White Power Ranger and Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd.

Continuing the battle of the sexes but from a different perspective; Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger and Tommy/The White Power Ranger are having this argument whilst in this combat situation; Goldar [is in the middle and slightly back in this scene] is trying to get a word in edgewise and involved, so eventually he punches Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger this is a good comedy and action element.

This episode receives: 4/10, this episode is mixed: taking everything into consideration this mark is the right outcome and this is speculation mixed with a sensible guess, I just wonder because Rita Repulsa is the main one in control of this episode out of her and Lord Zedd, is the reason why this episode feels and looks like it belongs in Season 1 and yes I am aware this is more than a very high probability of being complete garbage; it is just something that has come to me and there is always the possibility that at this stage of this Season; they are beginning to throw in episode fillers, this basically means; episodes which will do the job; to get to in this case the 52 mark episodes for this Season, possibly not the strongest material but as I have already said it will do the job or they are trying to do this holding pattern until the next big storyline may be in Season 3, so between now and then they still need to do something.
