Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

I remembered growing up and watching Power Rangers not really understanding why cast members left, I even had my hopes Amy Jo Johnson would return on the set.  In Zeo, I thought she would return on the set but sigh, that STUPID Dear John Letter which was very OOC of Kimberly to do happened.  To be honest, that incident led me to write that rather disturbing even that her character got raped behind the scenes in Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers by Radiguet my big bad who's now lusting after ladies.  So here's been my theories surrounding the Dear John letter: 1.) Amy Jo Johnson was considered the "eye candy" of the series but as her contract had expired, well yeah... so rather than renew it she chose to leave the set so she could explore other opportunities beyond Power Rangers which I think career-wise is a good decision.  So I guess the writers with Zeo were trying to get even with her or what by making her character look bad off-screen. 2.) The arrival of Kat Hi...

Killer Instinct, one of those great games in the 90s that was produced by Rare and published by Nintendo and it also had ties with Midway.  Two great games were produced namely Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct II, sadly the home systems were hardly near to the arcade goodness as the SNES was only 16-bit and the N64 didn't have as much power.  Rare is currently under Microsoft after it ended its partnership with Nintendo.  So what could have caused Killer Instinct not to have a third installment?  Puzzles me really on why a third game was never developed and it's been at least 17 years or more!  Only if Rare can release an official word on why Killer Instinct 3 never happened.  One of the worst things is that we'll never know the outcome of Gargos' demise as well.  Sad.  I thought the game had that much potential but sadly, everything went down just like the Conan: Crown of Iron movie.

In Mortal Kombat like every mythology, even the gods die.  In Norse Mythology, Balder was killed by Loki via Hodur who was tricked into firing an arrow of mistletoe wood and Ragnarok is the destruction of the old gods in the favor of new gods.  In Greek Mythology, Zeus killed his own father Cronus.  In Marvel Comics, both Zeus and Odin have died.  Not surprisingly, Mortal Kombat affirms even the impermanence of things have reached even the gods.  As the Buddha would cite impermanence as a part of life, even the gods are not spared from it though they have souls themselves.  In Mortal Kombat 4, it is mentioned a lot of gods were slaughtered during Shinnok's onslaught.  In Mortal Kombat Armageddon's outcome, Raiden was killed by Shao Kahn who was now infused by godlike might (due to Taven's quest gone wrong that made everybody more powerful).  Even some are reborn into mortals and mortals into gods.  In fact, Noob Saibot who was once Kuai Liang...

This was just my crazy idea of making a Killer Instinct clone (sigh what happened to that franchise?!) here's probably my crossover game with a Killer Instinct story: Umbrella Corporation, perhaps the most sinister company ever has been holding a new tournament called the "Lethal Hazard" tournament where the only rules against the opponent is to win- do whatever it takes to win.  To prove their superiority, they have even gone as crazy as to invite even supernatural beings to compete.  In their trump card is where they have made a Faustian pact with the Ashtaroth. Characters and their non-canon biography : Jill Valentine- Agent of STARS.  Always an enemy of Umbrella, Jill seeks to destroy the very combany that had seriously altered her appearance.  The backside of this was that now she has the ability to summon the undead to her bidding!  Wanting that none may suffer her hate, she enters the tournament! Strider Hiryu- After defeating the Grand Master, Ul...

Among the villains in Transformers, perhaps what I found find scarier are the Quintessons.  There are the five faced Judges and the xenomorph-resembling prosecutors.  They were first featured in Transformers: The Movie and their origins would be expanded in the third season.  They had their mockery of justice that whether the person was innocent or guilty, they would feed them to the Sharkticons.  later, they would show just how cruel and twisted they are. They're pretty much Cobra-La in the sense that they want to reclaim their former territory that they were rightfully ousted from.  Despite having names, somehow they weren't given some virtual distinctions from each other like Scourge and his Sweeps.  For me, they were incredibly nightmare fuel material. They were also the creators of the Transformers Race: The Autobots were for industrial use and the Decepticons for combat use.  Their frequently cruel treatments towards their creations caused a ...

Secret of the Hunchback was perhaps the most awkward adaptation of the novel.  So the movie begins where a baby is set at the Cathedral's door, Claude Frollo a young priest finds the baby but hey he's not the antagonist here!  Claude the kindly priest and his right hand man raise the baby out of pity and years later, Quasimodo grows up in Claude's care like the novel Claude but this one doesn't lust after Esmeralda.  Who does?  Well Claude's wayward brother Jehan is now the High Sheriff of Paris (who is a bearded version of Gaston!) and has his own version of Lefou.  Claude prays for Jehan's conversion. In the way, Quasimodo joins the festival of fools but not much drama- he meets Esmeralda (who looks like Belle) who falls for the poet Pierre Gringoire.  So pretty much, Jehan wants Esmeralda like Gaston wants Belle- while he's a town hero like Gaston, nobody knows he plans to get the gold that his brother Claude stored for the poor for himself.  I wo...

Galvatron, pretty much of a decay from his former personality as Megatron.  Now what happened?  Here's what... While in the movie, Galvatron retained much of the Megatron personality though he killed Starscream (at last!) once and for all, he however got tossed by Rodimus Prime out of Unicron and he landed on Thrull where he fell into a plasma bath.  It's not defined how long he was there but the fact he's metallic allowed him to survive. When Scourge pulled him out after his location was discovered, the found out that Galvatron had lost every last trace of his past personality though he still retains memories of his life as Megatron.  Sadly, he was no longer the same.  He quickly went from competent military leader to one insane genocidal maniac who is both feared and laughed at by both of his comrades (except for Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps but they eventually betrayed him for Scorponok) as well as the Autobots.  He also destroyed Thrull for no...
