Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

Back in the 1990s, one of the most intriguing characters was Cable. However, I'd like to spare a thought for a character I thought was at first interesting but ended up as a BADLY WRITTEN TRAGEDY namely Tyler Dayspring. Tyler underwent several identities as Tolliver (a weapons dealer) and later took the alias of Genesis (since Apocalypse literally means revelation or the end of all things). These things were what I'd call a case of tragedy for tragedy's sake. Tyler was Cable's son, Cyclops' grandson, and a tragedy that sadly became the third wheel in the Cable vs. Stryfe conflict. It was a case of a series of badly written and badly unraveled mysteries. Tyler was the son of Cable and Aliya Jenskot. I'd like to say that everything started with a very OOC moment for Cable. For a start, I thought Stryfe's having to hire a mutant named Frisco to brainwash Tyler was unnecessary. Come on, Stryfe is WHAT CABLE COULD'VE BEEN WITHOUT THE TECHNO-ORGANIC VIRUS. Str...

  Warning: This article will feel biased because I DON'T LIKE Power Rangers . However, given Shinichiro Shirakura's statement , I feel that Toei alone isn't to blame, maybe not just Shunkan Bushun, but also the harsh reality about Power Rangers . Power Rangers doesn't ruin Super Sentai's content but ruins its own when it creates a terrible season or entry. However, given the funding cycle, it's more like Power Rangers' really bad downward trend since 2011 (or earlier, GIVEN THE DISNEY ERA TOO) may also deserve the blame. Here are  Shirakura's words , regardless of how I feel about  Power Rangers : Shirakura observed that he joined Toei in 1990, when the company was planning the 1992 series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. The staff back then thought that it might be the final Sentai entry. So, the younger staffers wanted to try something different, and introduced a sixth regular member mid-story for the first time in the franchise.  Shirakura mused that Zyurange...

I felt like revisiting an old X-Men comic book plot called "The Twelve" . It was here that Apocalypse recklessly tossed a rather convoluted plan. Apocalypse is known to be a master planner of sorts. It didn't look like he infected Nathan Summers with the TO Virus just out of spite. It looked like Apocalypse wanted to test if Nathan could become his next vessel -- as evidenced in "The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix". As I looked back, there was the HYPE and the INTENDED OUTCOME. Why do I think that "The Twelve" plot was a poorly calculated scheme that gave an unsatisfying outcome Apocalypse's plot in "The Twelve" was a quest for godhood. However, looking at some of Apocalypse's choices, it can be seen that there's A LOT OF BAD CIRCUITRY going on, such as: Magneto was experiencing power fluctuations (probably due to Professor X mind wiping him and the Onslaught crisis), which could poorly balance out with Polaris' geomagnetic...
