What Jason Momoa Could Do For the Next Conan Film

Image
I really had my thoughts on Jason Momoa as Conan in the 2011 remake.  In my opinion, I had to think of this could be an opportunity to finish the long forgotten intention of a trilogy.  That was Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer and then Conan, Crown of Iron. Arnold's possible return for a Conan film at the age of 65?!  I dunno what to say about that.  I did think hopefully Jason Momoa can be secured (or another Conan) to which this is my imaginary script right now... Arnold Schwarzenegger acts as the now aging Conan, telling his stories of his conquests to his servants.  Then the scene can fade away to Jason Momoa, who will act as the younger Conan (this is for me, to make up for the fact that Arnie didn't become Conan's dad in the first film plus it would be meant to be a real sequel to Arnold's two movies) who tells of his stories of how he became a king by his own hand.  The plot would move forward to Aquilonia, the nation that Conan is bou...

Best Transformers Death Ever!!!!

Image
From all the deaths that happened in Transformers, here's my favorite.  Starscream (my most hated Decepticon) had thought he would be king by throwing away my favorite Deception, Megatron into space.  Well unfortunately for him, Unicron transformed Megatron along with other dismantled Deceptions into Galvatron, Skywarp becomes Cyclonus (the new deputy commander) and Thundercracker became Scourge (while others became identical looking to Scourge, known as the Sweeps).  Now Galvatron goes into the coronation ceremony and KILLS my most hated Decepticon, Starscream.  Hurrah!!!!

Two Possible Deaths of Thulsa Doom That Were Considered in the Conan 1982 Film

Image
I was thinking of the two possible endings that were considered for the Conan film.  The following were put into consideration... The first draft may have intended that Thulsa Doom would die in the Battle of the Mounds.  I thought of it that it could be pretty epic that after Thulsa Doom's snake arrow was blocked, Conan would then jump in to show the princess the very death of her betrayer and former lover.  So what Conan would have done in this scene was to really finish off Thulsa Doom at the battle of the mounds.  Instead the finale was... We get a MUCH different one with more power.  Thulsa Doom ends up retreating to his Mountain of Power while Conan wins against Rexor, quite different really.  What happens is in the final version of the film, the Princess Yasimina no longer deleted like the theatrical release, leads Conan to destroy the evil cult leader who is addressing the worshipers of Set to carry out what seemed to be their final mission. ...

Interesting Stuff That Should Have Not Been Cut from the 1982 Conan Film

Image
I did think there were some stuff that the Conan film from 1982 had made a mistake by removing them from the final cut namely... The procession in Zamora where Princess Yasimina had appeared for the first time.  In her role, she was heralded as an important member of the Cult of Set.  The princess herself appears where the guards of Doom together with a group of Set's worshipers.  Conan supposedly met the princess in this film, have a conversation with Subotai and all about the rise of Set's worship.  It's pretty annoying that the name Yasimina was never mentioned in the film just as Valeria's wasn't.  Stupid editing if you ask me. Several of King Osric's lines and even parts got removed.  In the coming of him to ask Conan to rescue his daughter while making it clear that Thulsa Doom intended to own his daughter suggesting a coming union, the lines that say the worship of Set takes the youth, makes them into "reptiles" and corrupts them.  Many of...

My Jet Tour of Megaman and Megaman X Games

Image
Well I'd like to talk about the evolution of Megaman and Megaman X games.  First I'd like to talk about the series that started it all... The ORIGINAL Megaman... (I wouldn't be talking about the Game Boy ones sorry...) The original Megaman was in fact one difficult game.  No password saves and when a boss defeated you, you had to play back all the way from a certain checkpoint.  Luckily there was the "pause glitch" which made  life a little easier but it was removed in the anniversary collection.  It featured six bosses to which one can start with. Megaman 2 went from six robot masters to an eight as Dr. Wily wishes to avenge his defeat from the first game.  Also the "Atomic Fire" was probably the charged buster's spiritual ancestor of sorts.  In Megaman II it had the use of the three Items which are an extra platform, a rocket board and a wall crawler.  The password system was introduced.  The most frustrating boss had to be the...

Contributions of Showa Riders to the Heisi Era

Image
It would just be downright unfair for fans of the Heisi era not to give credit to the Showa era.  So here are the contributions... Having an extra rider hero type.  The first Kamen Rider added a second Kamen Rider in Kamen Rider Nigo and in V3, we have Riderman.  The idea was taken for a twist to create... The evil Kamen Rider concept which started in Kamen Rider Black.  Please do not confuse this with the fake riders.  Fake riders are created as xerox copies of the Kamen Riders, this one is an inspired evil.  While Kamen Rider Black took the idea of Takeshi Hongo and placed it into Kotaro Minami (but with the twist of taking Nobuhiko Akizuki with him), it became Shadow Moon.  Shadow Moon was proven popular more evil riders were created.  In the case of Ryuki, the show had more than one!  In the case of Heisi evil riders, they weren't brainwashed most of them were evil at their own free will. Civilizations on Earth that threaten mank...

My Favorite Slapstick Comedies as a Kid

Image
Well here have been a few of my favorite Slapstick Comedies (which had both live and cartoon formats) as a kid... Laurel and Hardy was one.  To be honest, I find this MUCH BETTER than Dumb and Dumber.  It was fun to see how Laurel could be so dumb and Hardy while being dumb was less dumb.  It was funny to see their various misadventures together.  I used to really get excited over these guys. The Three Stooges namely Moe, Larry and Curly.  I did like them a lot as well.  Hmmm and I'm advised to rewatch this series if I want to be better at comedy. :P
