Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

It's been ten years since Go-Busters actually aired. I don't know what Hasbro was thinking when they decided to adapt Go-Busters and make Beast Morphers out of it. Toei Ltd. gave the blessing (and right now, I think I've got issues with Toei which is trying to go Japanese-exclusive) and we get this show. The show's still subjected to the idiotic summer break (something Super Sentai thankfully doesn't do) and the 44 episodes run in total. Right now, I want to look at what could be the missing potential of this show. I'll try not to be biased since I usually end up disliking Power Rangers even if I'm aware Toei Ltd. is also part of it. It's pretty much I also dislike some of Toei's releases, I also dislike some Super Sentai seasons and I feel Super Sentai isn't as good as it used to be. The setting of Beast Morphers itself is Coral Harbor. A new form of energy called Morph-X is created as new green alternative energy - straight from the Morphin...

  Shao Kahn continues to exist as one of the greatest video game villains. So great that even the fallen Elder God known as Shinnok or even his former master Onaga just can't overshadow him. Shao Kahn was supposedly dead in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance but it's revealed that he used a decoy. Shao Kahn ultimately won Mortal Kombat: Armageddon which was retconned that he defeated Blaze rather than that he emerged the victor when the third unexpected outcome came to be. Onaga was a cool concept that made Shao Kahn greater. The fact Shao Kahn dared to poison Onaga or made the latter's followers swear loyalty to him makes him the greatest villain ever. Nobody can deny Shao Kahn totally owned the scene that even Onaga the former emperor of Outworld can't overshadow. The reboot continuity does some questionably idiotic plots that will make the Nostalgia Critic cringe if he reviewed the story mode Now, I think about the Netherrealm continuity and some things I didn't like...

  I can't deny that while Batman x Catwoman is rather popular - I'm still on the unpopular side of things with Batman x Poison Ivy. The Injustice games also had an ending of Catwoman supposedly marrying Batman after Brainiac was beaten. Now, I think about how I have a weird storyline brewed up. This would totally be a weird one so brace for it. I'm really thinking about how my own imagination created. Poison Ivy is more of an anti-villain who, with the right influence, can be reformed. I was wondering if she was created to be the third wheel in the already ongoing Batman vs. Catwoman pairing.  One storyline in The Batman Adventures (which is based on Batman: The Animated Series ) presents an uneasy alliance between Batman and Poison Ivy to save an environmentalist. Both of them work together (for once) even if Batman and Poison Ivy have trust issues. I think about how the comics should've done some sexual tensions between them even more. Poison Ivy did joke about Batman...

I admit that I'm no longer into comics for the reason that there are so many reboots, and retcons, and the stories don't seem to end. Just think about The Twelve storyline in X-Men for one. Though, I think watching some cartoons here and there back then was another. One of my fondest memories was Batman: The Animated Series which the second season's art JUST SUCKED. WTF Warner Bros.? Anyway, there are some shipping battles in which Batman may be Archie while Catwoman is Betty and Poison Ivy is Veronica. I may be an Archie x Betty shipper but I'm a Batman x Poison Ivy shipper . Batman can be put in a real rock-and-hard place situation as Catwoman and Poison Ivy are considered Batman's awkward love interests. The 1966 Batman show starring the late Adam West had Catwoman as an on/off interest for Batman. Catwoman (Julie Newmar, later Eartha Kitt for some reason) makes seductive gestures at Batman either to gain advantage or because she's got a contradictory crush o...

Obviously, adaptations tend to deviate from the source material, right? I was thinking of Liu Kang's plot where he defeated Goro. I did a rewatch of the Mortal Kombat (1995) movie on Netflix before it was taken down. I thought about the lore of Mortal Kombat and the fact that Goro was the undisputed champion of the tournament for NINE GENERATIONS. Yes, Goro was unbeatable until Liu Kang defeated him. However, why don't we ever see Goro getting defeated by Liu Kang outside the video games canon? Did the writers ever forget the rules of the tournament? Goro was the undisputed champion. Goro defeated the Original Kung Lao 50 years after the latter defeated Shang Tsung. The Shaolin Temples tried to raise a champion but failed. Liu Kang, a descendant of the Original Kung Lao (perhaps from his mother's side), was raised to be that champion. For Liu Kang to become the champion - he must defeat Goro. Goro was defeated and hence Liu Kang became the new champion. Shang Tsung quickly ...

I was thinking about something worth writing (or bashing) and it's this - the Mortal Kombat cartoon which was called Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm . I think Nostalgia Critic should review and BASH this abomination. Back then, I just enjoyed the media such as the non-canon Mortal Kombat Conquest and as part of my innocence - why in the world did the arcades even permit children to play the game? I was around nine or ten when I held the game in the arcade. It took me some time to realize that NOT all video games are for adults. Not especially Mortal Kombat - which was aimed at ADULTS. I remembered watching the cartoon which only lasted 13 episodes. My first exposure to it was in ABS-CBN back in the late 1990s. The cartoon was meant to be a pseudo-sequel to the 1995 movie (which actually influenced later games) which I'd say is no better than Mortal Kombat Annihilated in more than one way. The plot follows up after the defeat of Shang Tsung in the first game and new charac...

IGN Sea Beast Wars was definitely a 1990s revival of the Transformers franchise by Hasbro. There was the toy line and there was the television. The toys don't always match up with the television series such as G1 Megatron was released as a TANK when the 1980s series made him a handgun. Later, G1! Megatron's tank mode was used in future series such as Transformers Armada . Apparently, Hasbro makes the toys first before any series was made. I mean, try to think of the initial prototype of Beast Wars had the following... Transformers Wiki The original toyline (as planned) had Optimus Primal as a bat (which is funny) and BW! Megatron is a crocodile. However, all that was changed in the TV series proper and later toys when Optimus Primal was a gorilla and BW! Megatron became a tyrannosaurus - an animal more befitting the Beast Wars . The toyline was born with a TV series. However, you may notice that a couple of toys NEVER made it into the original TV series at all. There were toy c...
