Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

Here's a screenshot for the upcoming 2016 movie called "X-Men: Apocalypse"... and from this dress code I am suddenly reminded of... Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living from Thundercats!  I was wondering how will Apocalypse soon appear as a cinematic villain?  I"m just having my WMG here.. that this version of Apocalypse may be closer to being a darker version of Mumm-Ra than being the comics version of Apocalypse. Knowing Apocalypse is an ancient menace, I would prefer this version of Apocalypse to remain as an undead mutant who uses both mutant powers and sorcery, making him an ultimate enemy.  However he is bound in servitude to serve the Ancient Spirits of Evil to which he seeks to attain godhood.

The meme above speaks a lot. I made that meme with Mako saying the lines because she in some way, reminds me of Kimberly but not totally. So it made me think that there's probably one denial they cannot hide for too long or was too obvious. It would be for those Super Sentai purists that are It's this one... Kimberly Hart of MMPR. I would admit during that time, she was really gorgeous. As terrible as I think the series is after watching Zyuranger and Dairanger, I would still dare say it was very hard IMO to out-class her beauty. Well Mei is probably my type of girl to date but appearance-wise, Kimberly wins. In fact, I would say it's hard not to overrate her at all. I would admit that some Super Sentai purist had ranted something crazy like, "Instead of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, we were shown that bootleg show called MMPR! Power Rangers is a parasite that will never exist on its own!" Pardon me, Saban and Toei both have a contract with each other! That mea...

Here's my hypothesis... what if Amy Jo Johnson didn't decide to leave and I would think what if she simply didn't leave... and Kat never existed. So I was thinking of three particular seasons she would have stayed were namely MMPR Season 3 (really bad season), Zeo (got worse) and Turbo (UGH never speak of it, Carranger is SO MUCH BETTER)... now let's think about this guilty pleasure. MMPR Season Three: So let's think what if Kimberly survived that ordeal after Lord Zedd and Rita nearly killed her?  I would admit that the plan was really effective... her life was really at the risk. And well the possibilities are Catherine Sutherland would never enter or would have been a guest.  By then, it would be like this... Kimberly would refuse the opportunity for gymnastics because she is a Power Ranger. That means Zordon would soon assign her a slot near the White Shogunzord... and well you might as well get it for better or for worse... either she continues to be Tommy...

There's no doubt that Power Rangers usually has the problem of bad writing and I think Kimberly is one big victim of it. How? While she started out pretty fine, she was able to fight but the problem was later during the second to third season (probably that's why the actress wanted to leave) was because of this... you cannot deny that she was first changed from your average ranger to Tommy's damsel in distress which really gets annoying for the character. Now this was another case of injustice against the character by the writers. Remember the MMPR/Masked Rider crossover? Getting Kimberly sick is indeed bad, bad and I mean VERY BAD writing. I really thought it was a pathetic treatment towards her. Who knows? Maybe that's why Amy Jo Johnson got sick and tired of all the bad writing she soon requested to make a proper leave. But I guess executives didn't want her to leave so easily. I cannot deny how the scene was really badly written. Sheesh... at least this mista...

Mr. Sinister was indeed a mad geneticist obsessed with genetics and bringing up humanity to its next level no matter what the cost.  In a way, he is Darwinian but perhaps lesser or greater than Apocalypse.  Having been centuries old, he had observed the Summers' line to which he would later cause some serious damage to the later parts of the future.  He was the one who threw in the chess pieces that could have destroyed humanity especially when he examined the Summers' brothers, grew an unusual interest in Scott Summers and Jean Grey... and in two different realities, produced Omega Level telepathic beings thanks to his studies. So how did his studies go?  He developed a fascination over his soon would be archenemy Scott Summers.  When he discovered that Cyclops' optic blasts could harm him at a higher level, he took his as a sign of new discovery.  He grew obsessed with the Summers lineage and decided to play matchmaker one way or another. It was lat...

Mr. Sinister was among a few characters to get some modifications from the X-Men Cartoon Series.  To be honest, I feel like the cartoon show may be more of an old shame to me.  Now let's focus on Mr. Sinister and how he differed from the comics.  Now I'd like to discuss the cartoon Mr. Sinister first. Cartoon Mr. Sinister has some elements changed in him.  For instance, in the cartoon he activated his own dormant x-gene (it's highly possible that both versions are born with the x-gene but the gene was yet to be activated) which is unlike in the comics.  In this one, he is portrayed to be able to heal himself but finds himself weak to Cyclops' optic blasts.  His motives behind his obsession behind Cyclops and Jean Grey is never known.  The comics however presents a darker, more different story which makes Sinister far more a threat than he was in the 80s cartoons. Mr. Sinister's X-Gene was awakened by Apocalypse.  Now I would like to assume t...

Well after I have seen how much more polished Shinkenger Arc in Kamen Rider Decade, I wanted to bring out this major flaw in "A Friend in Need" in MMPR.  Now MMPR started the experiment of actually bringing a Kamen Rider/Super Sentai crossover from the stage to the TV set.  The stage shows were very mixed... this one tried to narrow down the concept but... the major problem was that Kimberly was sick.  If Amy Jo Johnson saw the Decade/Shinkenger crossover, she's most likely going to comment that bad writing was one reason why she left the series.... and I'd probably do the same in her place!   What was terribly wrong?  Aside from BAD EDITING, all the terrible cheesy acting and Saban's Masked Rider was terrible, TERRIBLE and TERRIBLE and unfortunately, Decade IMO is just as terrible and neither show deserves to be rewatched IMO.  Now, I'd like to point out the whole Kimberly is sick scenario... which renders her helpless and almost useless.  In s...
