The Confusion of My Super Mario Childhood: Peach and Daisy

Image
I just thought though that before, I used to think that Peach and Daisy were the same person until much later I did some research and verified they weren't.  In the original Super Mario game, the princess wasn't named until the second game and she was named Princess Toadstool.  So I assumed that Toadstool was the surname, Daisy was her first name or whatever.  It just got confusing especially that in earlier Mario games (the good old NES days), we find out that Princess Peach had brown hair like Princess Daisy.  It wasn't until Super Mario All Stars was developed that the error was corrected, Princess Peach had blonde hair so further clarifying that Peach isn't Daisy.  And also, later Mario games featured Daisy as a separate character rather than another name for Peach, further clearing away the confusion for good.  So there I got my answers to that old age question to Daisy and Peach.

MMPR Down the Road

This scene brings too many memories like my crush on Kimberly Hart when I was still a child.  Sadly I never saw Super Sentai... damn TV stations!  But the memory of Kimberly Hart is still worth cherishing.  Enjoy this nice song!!!!

Megaman X8: My Overall View

Image
So okay I began my backtrack gaming and I never thought Megaman X8 would be THAT GOOD after I spent some patient hours playing it.  At first it seemed quite awkward or level designs can be "WTF" but hey with easy controls, difficult gameplay balances the whole game from being too easy or too hard.  So what I pretty thought of this game was kinda cool with a mix of 2D/3D gameplay with cinematics that I would are say are beautifully done cell-shading aside from outstanding graphics.  Although I do find it quite creepy to know Lumine was a bad guy- or is it because he resembles Megaman Juno?!  Too predictable?  Maybe.  Also I do find it weird that Sigma's symbol on his forehead is also used by the "Ancients" in Megaman Legends. Back to the game- so the whole project was called Jakob's Ladder (a call on the true to life event of Jacob's dream of the ladder to Heaven) but this was a picture of how fallen man just keeps falling.  They began migration to t...

Power Rangers Seasons I Really Have a Huge Dislike

Image
Here are Power Rangers seasons that are horrible that I can't help but bad mouth them that much!  Okay this is just an opinion but I'll say my piece... MMPR Season Three- Seriously it all went downhill by season three.  Why?  Well aside from Lord Zedd suffering from a villain decay which I think his love for Rita should have made him more EVIL... (and it seldom does) but the plots were getting corny and dry.  Yeah the whole franchise was suffering from literal burnouts too!  On the superficial side, I hated it when Kimberly left perhaps Amy Jo Johnson was disliking the series already. Okay I know the Dekaranger gang is dubbing SPD in Japan (well I moan at the fact that while some countries enjoy BOTH franchises, some don't) but I have to say I find plenty of the cast annoying (I know character flaws like being a bad cook is part of life but nuisance is not tolerable).  Who in particular?  They're namely Jack (Ban will NEVER skip the obstacle co...

The MMPR More Popular than Zyuranger in Japan Rumor... BALONEY!

Image
Okay some stupid idiots have said on Rangerboard, "Hey do you know that MMPR is more powerful than Zyuranger in Japan?"  Seriously, some great Tokusatsu experts like Fantasy Leader can easily disprove that silly rumor.  To be honest, there are really some Power Rangers fans who can't accept the reality that Super Sentai is the original, Power Rangers is the adaptation and that both sides fight on the side of justice.  And also, I find most of MMPR's episodes to be really not so well-written, sugar-coated type of work and not to mention quality began to deteriorate.  Sadly, I wanted MMPR to just end with a real final battle, not go to seemingly endless cyles. :( I just thought it over that even if Kimberly is hotter than Mei (and only extreme favoritism would change sides :P) but I find Mei pretty much more of the personality of the girl I'd like to date.  Yeah seriously I admit while I find Kimberly attractive but it's all face value.  Mei just really...

Kimberly as a Victim of Bad Writing in Power Rangers

Image
I'd like to talk about Kimberly who had the potential for betterment becoming a victim of bad writing. Most of the happened after Amy Jo Johnson choose to leave the set then here's what happened... in Power Rangers Zeo she had a "Dear John Letter" which is pretty much out-of-character for her.  Hmmm... OOCs don't only happen in fan fics do they?  I've been there, done that and I don't know but this OOC is way beyond the border.  And also, suddenly pairing her with Jason (which is again intended) is just so random.  And of course, there's that breaking her up with Tommy completely and Kat becomes a forced replacement.  Man that sucks... So here's the possible worst move... There was a draft that Skull was going to be married to Kimberly which could mean Kimberly is... SPIKE'S MOTHER?!  Oh my!  However with Spike's age and he was born around the events of Turbo, it's possible Skull got somebody else pregnant.

Lord Zedd's Unnecessary Villain Decay

Image
There have been a few complains I did have about Lord Zedd.  Okay marrying Rita was fine, nothing wrong with it but he and Rita both got decayed in a way they were both getting corny, less scary and comedic.  It was also pretty inconsistent with their longer, much longer list of terrible things they did together than when they were alone.  It could have been MORE sensible if he retained his being scary even after he and Rita Repulsa got married, since it would have been twice as scary.  But sigh... why did he have to turn into a clown?  Well I guess there's always another side of people we can NEVER figure out did exist after all.
