Tekken endings... good times, bad times... the Tekken game back then was more remembered for its fun two player modes than the endings. The endings started from awful to nice. Here's a sampe of how Tekken went by: (I'll be using Nina Williams' endings as an example) Tekken 1- It was all blocky, wax-like figures with no dialogue whatsoever plus they were all very short. Can't be helped since Tekken was just a baby game back then. Tekken 2 managed to improve on graphics but the problem is, no vocals. Hee hee! Tekken 3 had the best graphics for PS1 in all Tekken games. However the endings were not very detailed. Tekken 4 had more powerful endings, vocals and all. Why did Namco not think of that for Tekken 3?! Tekken 5 continued with good quality... no the best. Tekken 6- better graphics, shorter clips. :-P

Although the Conan cartoon (which I watched as a child) was a milder and ridiculously bloodless show and the Conan film was NOT for children, there were some similarities taken into the cartoon series, and some which were from the deleted scripts: The idea that Wrath-Amon attacked the village in search for steel. In his case, it was Star Metal. However in this scene, Conan is grown and not a child anymore. The scene when Conan's father who was merely turned to stone later with Conan as a child concerning the sword he would inherit. Wrath-Amon's freakish true self as a reptilian being, something that existed the novelization and a deleted concept from the movie's villain Thulsa Doom. The introduction of Nanoc (Conan spelled backwards... duh) together with Conan and Jezmine in climbing the tower, is like the movie although it wasn't a tower of Set. The riddle of steel is somewhat shown when a young child thought he could control Conan's blade. Conan reveals t...

If there's one Batman villain I would like to talk about, it's of Poison Ivy. What makes her unique? Unlike most criminals that are just after for the money, she was more of the noble villain with intentions to fight pollution but she's an extreme vigilante who uses unorthodox methods in contrast to the Batman. She sought to see evildoers punished and at some point, she is viewed to be a nuisance to most of the Batman criminals. As said, she is pretty as a rose and deadly as her name. Unlike most villains that don't appear to be harmless, she does. She has her really pretty face, sexy body and that it's an edge to her being lethal. Even without her powers, Poison Ivy can drive a man wild. But it seems she reserves her sexiest schemes for Batman though. What I liked about existence is her love/hate relationship to Batman. How? She has feelings for him yet at at times, she wants to get rid of him. However when she gets the chance, she doesn't. And ti...

If there was any other technique that kind of amazed me in Dragon Ball Z was the Spirit Bomb, a technique which only a pure mind and soul can use. Okay Goku is NOT my favorite character, I'm more a Vegeta fan but the Spirit Bomb intrigued me a lot. It was taught by King Kai in the Other World where Goku was to gather some energy from living beings to create a destructive ball. So let's see its applications: First attempt was on Vegeta. Okay not the gigantic one. Goku gathered energy from nearby to create a ball of energy which he told Krillin to toss to Vegeta. Krillin missed but Gohan was able to reflect the ball back to Vegeta. Vegeta was hit but it didn't end the battle.  In the Freeza saga, Goku absorbed the energy of the whole planet Namek but it wasn't enough. Freeza was too powerful. Presumably, Freeza was hiding his true power and also, there wasn't enough life on Namek anyway. In the movies, the tiny Spirit Bomb was used to defeat Turles, Dr. ...

The Tekken film, well being a gamer fan, I would like to do my review on Tekken. So far, I kind of liked the movie for its action but the storyline was kind of weak when it came to the MISHIMA bloodline. And I thought that it was pretty interesting to see Heihachi Mishima and Kazuya Mishima having a closer relationship in the beginning of the film, which may have omitted the story that Kazuya Mishima was thrown off the cliff by his father Heihachi Mishima. Of course, the Jun Kazama being raped thing never disappeared. I felt the whole film was being rushed with a short run time. So it all begins with Jin Kazama wanting to enter Tekken, his mother Jun Kazama lying to him to protect him from the reality of his dysfunctional lineage, which we know his father is Kazuya Mishima. Of course, the dysfunctionality really shows especially when Kazuya Mishima wants to finish off his own lineage. I also felt that Heihachi Mishima was pretty underused. So I was excited to see Cary Hiroyuki Ta...

When watching Revenge of the Sith, I thought of it what Palpatine told Anakin Skywalker, the power of Darth Plagueis the Wise. It was the power to influence the midi-chlorians to produce life. So maybe it's a myth. So let's think about it- Palpatine/Darth Sidious was under the apprenticeship of Darth Plagueis, who had learned everything. So thinking about it, so did Palpatine really succeed in influencing the midi-chlorians once and only once- to create Anakin Skywalker? So what if Palpatine happens to have sired another bastard son through Shmi Skywalker after he sired Triclops in his earlier years. Possible! Or maybe he lied about the midi-chlorians and produced Anakin Skywalker the natural way.  Either way, he's an uncaring father who only produced illegitimate children for his own selfish ends. Here are somethings I've considered: Palpatine, Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker and Ben Skywalker are all fair skinned, dark blond haired, blue eyed, dimpled Force ...

Disney's girl's acting is really TERRIBLE as of late. Not only with Power Rangers during the Disney tenure but in almost every live show there is. I mean Miley Cyrus and Hillary Duff are just a few. Oh yeah, I forgot that Disney's directors do have a way with letting their girls do those overacting accents... it's just SO IRRITATING! I mean, it's very distracting. For example, there was the Cadet Kelly movie. Hillary Duff really made me want to throw bricks at her and not at her spoiled character. While it was satisfying to watch Carlson Romano's character Jennifer Stone get even with her, however with the director's orders, the character Jeniffer Stone goes from dignified cadet captain to an undignified one. It's plain irritating how Disney's acting ruins otherwise good characters.
