Godzilla VS Kong Movie Review!!!

Godzilla Vs Kong is the sequel film to Godzilla: King of Monsters and Kong: Skull Island. Godzilla vs King Kong is a classic battle that was created back in 1962 and now being revisited with today’s advanced cinematics. Godzilla Vs Kong is among the many hit films to be released through HBOMax because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this, the film grossed $468.2 million from a $200 million dollar budget.

Since the events of Skull Island, humans discovered that the Earth still contains massive animals that predate human existence. It’s unclear to the audience based on the movie timelines, how humans come from trespassing enemies on Skull Island, to becoming caretakers to Kong. In Godzilla: King Of Monsters, Ghidorah‘s flight path manipulates weather, causing even the storm surrounding Skull Island to turn inward, making the environment unstable for the inhabitants. In turn Monarch developed a dome structure that simulates Skull Island’s calm weather where Kong could live without interference. Also, during this time, Monarch discovered that the Earth has subterranean levels where life could exist and believes this is where Kong is originally from. To their surprise, they find out the ancestors of Kong and Godzilla have been at war for some time. Eventually Hollow Earth became Kong’s new home, far from the influences of the world above.

After the battle with the Titans of his first two films, Godzilla is considered the savior for the human race. During the aftermath, the rival company to Monarch named Apex Cybernetics is developing systems that could replicate the powers demonstrated by the monsters. One of their devices is giving off a pulse which Godzilla finds threatening, sending him on a rampage to destroy it. The destruction and death left behind by Godzilla began to change the public view of the Titan. This narrative is what Apex Cybernetics uses to justify the need to destroy Godzilla. In the ending scene of King of Monsters, a single head of the Ghidorah was retrieved to be salvaged for unknown purposes. Movie fans believed that Mecha-King Ghidorah would make an appearance, instead MechaGodzilla was born. Without the combined forces of Godzilla and Kong, both Titans would have perished, and the world would be in jeopardy. With the defeat of MechaGodzilla, Godzilla regained his trust among the humans and reclaimed the throne as King of the Monsters on Earth.

Godzilla and Kong face off twice in this film, once at sea and at the classic stage of Hong Kong. Godzilla’s amphibious nature helped the Titan completely dominate Kong in the ocean, nearly killing him and the Monarch crew. On land Kong had a better advantage but was still outmatched when Godzilla releases the atomic breath. With his defeat, Kong didn’t submit to his rival, instead gave him a respect as a worthy opponent. It seems that Titans are unclear of their opponents’ intentions, and both are not looking for a fight unless provoked. If prequel film is created, it should be about the ancient war between the ancestors of the Godzilla and Kong in Hollow Earth. The story could explain how the Titans eventually discovered the surface world with the humans.

The MechaGodzilla was an interesting machine brought to the cinematics. The Ghidorah neuropathways allowed the deceased Dragon to be resurrected in a new body. What type of threat would MechaGodzilla be if taking under control from either Megatron or Ultron? Megatron goal was to always enslave humanity as a conqueror while Ultron is looking to destroy all organic life and replace it with machines like the Terminators. Or is the mechanical Titan too strong for both Megatron or Ultron and could possibly destroy them both…?

Black Panther

Black Panther is described as the true “Batman/ Bruce Wayne” of Marvel Comics. There was the belief that Tony Stark was the wealthiest in the Marvel Universe, comic fans even matched Tony’s heroism against Bruce in many crossover battles. Black Panther would be a more fitting opponent or maybe prove to be very difficult for the Dark Knight in combat. Wakanda kings are trained to be warriors, trained in all forms of combat to one day take on the mantle of The Black Panther. This warrior as Black Panther must be superior in leadership for, he must guide and protect a nation of people, something Tony nor Bruce is at a level of doing.

Black Panther’s abilities are similar to Wolverine‘s. Both characters have enhanced hearing, smell, healing and natural night vision. Captain America was given superhuman abilities with the help of the Super Soldier Serum, just as Black Panther was given his powers from an herb which was mutated from Vibranium. Black Panther can best both Wolverine and Captain America in single combat. Wolverine would be the only character between the three that was born with his superhuman abilities. The costume of Black Panther is made with the Vibranium material as Captain America’s shield. The costume protects the Panther’s complete body making him nearly impenetrable. Adamantium which laces Wolverine’s bones, is stronger than Vibranium, which makes it very possible for Wolverine to deliver a killing blow to Black Panther through the Vibranium. Vibranium is much more valuable because of its extraterrestrial origins whereas Adamantium is man-made. Vibranium is the source of the wealth in Wakanda and is secretly secluded from the rest of the world, much like Themyscira.

Black Panther’s next level of power is considered supernatural. The Black Panther is also known as King of the Dead. The Goddess Bast allows the Panther to control the undead, similar to the Scorpion King controlling Anubis army in the Mummy Returns. Its great speculation if Black Panther could command certain undead figures like Dracula or even have a degree of influence over Spawn. Let’s cross into the DC Universe, could Black Panther potentially become a greater leader than Black Hand? What separates Black Panther’s ability over the undead than the mentioned characters is that his powers were bestowed by a Goddess to protect his people as King. Dracula and Spawn acquired their power from the Devil, which in turn is to be used in service of him. Also with his supernatural ability, Black Panther can receive guidance from the Panther spirits of the past, much like Luke Skywalker learning from his deceased mentors of the Jedi.

In the early 90s, Wesley Snipes began the idea of bringing the Black Panther to life. Complications brought the project to a halt, instead Blade was the start of Marvel Cinematics, with huge success. Captain America: Civil War was the film that introduced Black Panther to cinematic while in the comics, his origins began with the Fantastic Four. After Civil War, Black Panther’s solo release became highly anticipated for 2018, along with Infinity War. How long will fans expect to see Black Panther on-screen? Will he become a major character in Marvel’s cinematic universe, or will the Black Panther become short lived?

AquaMan

Arthur Curry aka AquaMan is a powerful member of the Justice League and King of The Sea. Much like Wonder Woman, AquaMan can be associated with Greek Mythology with his use of Poseidon’s Trident. The Trident grants AquaMan more powers outside his Atlantean strength like hydrokinesis and weather manipulation over aquatic areas. This power addition is similar with Thor, who also gains additional powers over the elements with his use of his hammer Mjolnir.

aquaman 2In the comic world, there are characters with similar powers like The Flash and Quicksilver, Hawkeye and Green Arrow and AquaMan and Namor the Sub-Mariner. AquaMan and Namor are both half Atlantean, while AquaMan is half human, Namor is half homo superior. This explains Namor’s winged ankles and the ability to fly. Their hybrid forms make them much stronger than Atlanteans. AquaMan wields the stronger Trident than Namor, which is the Trident of Neptune. 

aquaman3We have seen an early version of an AquaMan with Kevin Costner in Waterworld. Only difference is that The Mariner was not a metahuman, more like the first human who has evolved to perfectly adapt to a planet now covered in ocean water. The vision of an AquaMan will return in the Justice League with Jason Momoa. Will Jason become a big enough feature on the Justice League film to receive his solo feature?

Dark Phoenix

Dark Phoenix is among the most dangerous female villains in the comic book universe. Dark Phoenix is the evil embodiment of Phoenix Force, with Jean Grey as it’s host. Dark Phoenix wanted to separate everything connecting Jean Grey to her former life so destroying the cosmos would come as first choice. Trying to stop or even battling the Dark Phoenix would be considered suicide for whoever took on the feat. Attacking the mind of the host is the best chance in stopping such a force, as done by Professor X.The Phoenix Force is similar to DC Comic’s entity: The Parallax. When Hal Jordan became the host, he displayed much of his dark side as Jean did under such power. Cosmic entities merging directly to a humanoid host, amplifies the powers of the host at immeasurable levels, making them god like. The Phoenix Entity was even split apart to inhabit different hosts at once, creating the Phoenix Five. Do you think this Force could take on any of the Lantern Corps??Dark Phoenix made it to the silver screen with the X-Men 3 The Last Stand and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. The Dark Phoenix is portrayed by Famke Janssen, who played Jean Grey throughout the X-Men movie series. What is your take on the image of Dark Phoenix? She didn’t seem like the out-of-control Dark Phoenix who reign destruction in the cosmos but more like a darker Jean Grey. Was that the best performance of Dark Phoenix or could movie producers have done more to show the power of such a dark entity…Is it possible that Dark Phoenix can be recruited into the Red Lantern Corps?! What would become of Jean Grey if she harbors the Phoenix Force, then wield the Red Power Ring?! To Be Continued….

Enterprise Space Armor

What if… Tony Stark’s technology crossed into the Star Trek Universe?! The advanced technology of Star Trek would be wonders for Tony Stark. He could develop his armors even further equipping them with stellar navigation or even combine Star Fleet’s warp core technology with his arc reactor tech. With this, the Stark armor could survive deep space and even achieve warp speeds. This would allow Iron Man to travel alongside the likes of Silver Surfer or Green Lantern with ease.Tony Stark could supply the Federation with the blueprint plans for advanced armored suits. The Federation could use Tony’s armors for planetary exploration or a non-detectable advantage over enemies in war. Would you agree that if such armored suits were created for the Federation, the space jump in the 2009– and 2013-Star Trek films be much cooler? Let’s imagine…

Not only could Tony Stark use the Star Fleet’s technology for his armored suits, but he could also enhance S.H.I.E.L.D. For example, The Helicarrier  could be equipped much like the USS Enterprise. The Helicarrier could run on anti-matter propulsion engines, equipped with transporters on board, deflector shields and advanced weaponry. Both universes could benefit each other greatly with Tony Stark’s brilliance. Could you imagine such technology crossed over between the two universes, how they can go hand in hand with one another?

 

Red Skull

 

The Red Skull is a result of a troubled childhood, among the worst in Marvel Comics. Before being known as the Red Skull, Johann Shmidt was nearly killed by his father, who constantly abused his mother. Johann later became a runaway orphan at the age of 7 living on the streets. He grew up desiring to take over the world, an ideal which was from while a protge to Adolf Hitler. The Red Skull became the embodiment of Nazi intimidation, in turn making him the #1 enemy to Captain America.

One of Red Skull’s interest was advanced weaponry, which was created by Hitler’s special scientists. These weapons where used in Red Skull’s ruthless rampage through Europe. His growing force of evil even created fear in Hitler. During this time, a mutant weapon was located in the Nazi prison camps by the name of Erik Lehnsherr. If the Red Skull was aware of young Lehnsherr earlier, would there have been a Magneto?

Red Skull has made cameos on television shows such as Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Spiderman. The Red Skull was brought to a live action sequence in Captain America: The First Avenger, portrayed by Hugo Weaving. Did Marvel Studios hit the mark with this live character? Will the Red Skull be later revived in the Infinity War Movies Series of Avengers?

Wonder Woman 1984 Movie Review!!!!

Wonder Woman 1984 released Christmas of 2020 in theatres and streamed on HBOMax. WW84 had multiple release delays because of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing the film to generate $154.6 million, below the budget of $200 million. WW84 takes place in 1984, where Diana works in an antique museum as we see her in Justice League but in 1984 she is stationed in Washington D.C. The Dream Stone makes its way to the museum, creating chaos that Wonder Woman must bring to order. What type of power do you think the Infinity Gauntlet would have if the Dream Stone was apart of the stone settings?

While in presence of the Dream Stone, Diana inadvertently wished to be with Steve Trevor again. His spirit returned, embodied inside another man. Despite this, Diana could recognize Steve as if he were in his original form. During their reunion, Diana made a successful attempt to shield a stolen fighter jet from radar, an art she learned from her father. With this cinematic perspective, comic fans understand that Wonder Woman could render any object invisible, instead of the belief Amazons had the technology to create invisible warcrafts. Diana’s inadvertent wish came with the negative effect of taking away her powers. After renouncing her wish, she gained back her powers, thus losing Trevor indefinitely. Flight became a new addition during Diana’s power restoration, a feat she had yet to display on film.

Until this film, we’ve seen Diana’s areal feat as extended leaps, similar to The Hulk in various films or Faroa in Man of Steel. In WW84 we also see Diana use the Lasso of Truth as a grappling hook to jettison into the air or stream along lightning currents in the higher altitudes. Does Diana gain a new level of power each time she is restored from depletion? Can we get a crossover cinematic visual of Wonder Woman traveling to Asgard to offer an alliance with Themiscyra, merging Greek and Norse Mythology? What about Diana’s attempt to wield Mjölnir? With her warrior’s might and Asteria’s armor , do you think Diana could lead the Valkyrie?

Pedro Pascal, actor as the Mandalorian, plays Max Lord in WW84. His life is filled with ambition with minimal success in business and personal life. This causes disorder when he wished to be the Dream Stone in the flesh. Max Lord’s character seemed focused on the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction and how greed among humans have devastating consequences on many levels. Was the power of wishes and dreams the theme of the movie? Is there a negative effect when we have positive dreams for ourselves?

WW84 presented Diana’s next foe, the feline humanoid Cheetah. Barbara gained her animalistic powers from the Dream Stone, after replacing her first wish of wanting to be like Diana. This is different from the comic blueprint where Barbara gained her powers from Urzkartaga. Its assumed that Barbara renounced her wish, but did she? It appears that Max Lord renounced his wish of being the Dream Stone before Barbara could renounce her wish. Because of this, is it possible her powers remained but can only return at night like Werewolf by Night? Will there be another film to bridge the time of 1984 to 2016 when the Trinity battled Doomsday? What were your thoughts on this film? Leave your comments below and check out SlideShow Collectibles for WW84 memorabilia!!!

Ultron

Ultron is among the artificial intelligent beings of science fiction thrillers, which is a computerized intelligence that rejects its programming after becoming self-aware. The system would then eliminate human beings because humans are viewed as a threat to its evolution. Ultron has gone through many upgrades to reach his “perfect form”. Ultron is the first to be completely constructed in adamantium as part of his design enhancements. Ultron can control computer interfaces, the human mind and even the alien race Phalanx. 

Henry Pym created Ultron among his many experiments, but this creation was equipped with Pym’s very own consciousness, enabling Ultron experience human emotion. Choosing hate, Ultron hatred for Pym is because his existence was made possible by an “imperfect ” life form. In the film The Avengers: Age of Ultron, it was described that Tony Stark was responsible for the creation of Ultron. Ultron in turn was supposed to be the creator of Vision but on film, it was Tony Stark, Bruce Banner and Thor responsible for the creation of the android.

Ultron interface is similar to the Skynet Interface System. When threaten with destruction, the two systems would create robotic soldiers (terminators / ultronbots) to defend, contain or annihilate the threat to its source. Over time, the Skynet systems upgraded its robotic soldiers to cyborgs, equipping them with human tissue for disguise. This tactic is used to help infiltrate and eliminate the Resistance. Similarly, Ultron wanted to destroy The Avengers from within, so he created the android Vision, but just like Ultron’s need to discard his set program, Vision broke free from Ultron’s control to join and help The Avengers take down the corrupted A.I, just like the T-101 or T-H cyborgs joining the Resistance to take down Skynet.

Ultron’s goals is to evolve, gain universal knowledge, destroy humanity, become omnipotent. What if Ultron gained control of Vector Sigma? If this happened, could Ultron then enhance his robotic armor to transform into vehicles of disguise like the Transformers? Would Ultron be a threat to Cybertron that the two opposing forces must join together to defeat this foe, or would they fall victim to Ultron’s new upgrade?

Mortal Kombat 2021 Trailer Review!!!

After teasers from HBOMax, the Mortal Kombat trailer has finally dropped!!! This film is highly anticipated because of the failure of the first two films back in the 90s. With the cinema technology of this time, producers will have this one in correct format. From what we see in the trailer concerning the plot of the film, this film is based around the ancient war between Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Do you think this film may produce sequels??

Thor vs Superman

Thor vs Superman is a classic battle that has happened in the comic book JLA/Avengers, which is disappointing to fans. Thor’s hammer Mjolnir is a powerful enchanted weapon giving Thor additional powers like the manipulation of the fundamental forces of the universes. How is it possible for Superman to wield it? Could becoming an officer to the most powerful Lantern Corps (White and Black) and team leader to the Justice League make him worthy of wielding Mjolnir? This is disappointing to fans because one of Superman’s main weaknesses is vulnerability to magic. Superman barely survived a kryptonite bullet from Metallo, and a fight with Doomsday. So how would he survive the blows from Thor’s mighty hammer? Since Thor is a god, he can match Superman’s strength and speed any day. If Thor gets enraged, he enters Warriors’ Madness. In this state Thor’s power increase tenfold, making him mentally uncontrollable, attacking friends and foes alike resulting in devastation. Warrior’s Madness is similar to Wolverine‘s Berserker Rage and a saiyan’s Oozaru form, all increasing the power of the character tenfold.

Superman’s powers would need super charging from the yellow sun to battle Thor and to withstand Mjolnir. But what if Superman used his new costume Captain Marvel developed in the Mortal Kombat vs DC Comics storyline to battle Thor? With magic eliminated from this battle, would this make Superman on even terms with Thor? More than likely. Superman is no stranger to fighting God like beings such as Darkseid.

Without that concept Thor would come out as the champion in this fight, due to his magical abilities. Who do you believe is the real victor of this bout?
