Sean Akizuki's Fantasy Critic

  I've had some criticisms on Hera in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys . Some of Hera's misdeeds in thes how are actually ZEUS' ACTIONS. It was Zeus and NOT HERA who separated Typhon from Echidna. Many of the show's events are rewritten, such as NOT requiring Hercules to perform the Twelve Labors. Now, there's been that big question, "Why does Hera hate Hercules so much when Zeus had SO MANY BASTARDS?" It doesn't explicitly state that Apollo and Artemis are children of Zeus and Leto. I mean, some accounts reveal that Hera tempted Tityas, a son of Zeus and Elara who grew giant, to RAPE LETO. It could've been put into one of the episodes where Hercules went to retrieve Persephone. I mean, Tantalus, another bastard son of Zeus, MADE A CAMEO. Sisyphus was also a villain whom Hades requested to be brought back to Tartarus.  If we look into the myth, Zeus had so many affairs that it's hard to keep track of them. The movie Clash of the Titans has Hera...

It's NO SURRISE that Snow Woke truly TANKED. The off-screen drama between Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot isn't surprising either. Unfortunately, Rachel's SJW attitude had already wrecked things. Now, it's time to review one of my favorite TV shows as a child -- Faerie Tale Theatre . The stories have modifications from the OG sources. Some OG stories are just too brutal and deserve to be changed. Of course, we couldn't have the Wicked Queen dance on red-hot shoes now, right? One could remember Vanessa Redgrave (left) and Elizabeth McGovern (right) as the Wicked Queen and Snow White. If I'm not wrong, Vanessa was actually 47 years old -- maybe more age-appropriate than Gal who's only 39 years old. However, people married rather young back then. Even today, Elizabeth as an OLD WOMAN still looks better than Rachel. But the point is Rachel's attitude that didn't help with the film TANKING! Here's a middle-aged Vanessa -- still looking good! I don't w...

  I have no regrets skipping a lot of Woke Disney's horrid live-action remakes. Go Woke Go Broke, RIGHT? The flop made me think of another film I saw as a child, Snow White (1987). Casting has been much better. For example, former actress Sarah Patterson fits the description of Snow White perfectly. Meanwhile, the late Diana Riggs fits the role of the Wicked Queen better than Gal Gadot ever will. Gal feels "too young" for the role of the Evil Queen.  Rachel Zegler was already a mistake. Need I say Gal was already a mistake. Disney could've done other ways to race-flip the story. The story could've moved to some East Asian country like Korea or China. Snow White could've been turned Korean along with the whole story. I even find Disney's A Little Mermaid remake unbelievable. If Ariel was going to be black then why not transfer the whole story to Africa? Make all of Ariel's sisters BLACK LIKE HER. Instead, it almost suggests Triton was a philanderer who ...

  Yi Ar Kung Fu  will be going 40 years old this April 22. I couldn't help but think of younger me, wondering if the game ever ended. Spoilers: It was pretty much another of those endless games! It was all about getting the highest score possible. It was beating five opponents, the fifth is defeated, the gong is beaten, and you PLAY ALL OVER FROM THE BEGINNING with higher difficulty! So yeah, I tried doing A LOT of crazy stuff over here. I tried to unleash a Fireball -- never mind this game was by KONAMI! I would pretend that the protagonist Lee was the Great Kung Lao -- fighting five challengers in the  Mortal Kombat  tournament. Of course, that wasn't the case. I remember reaching up to Level 15 -- all before I got my high score! Either way,  Yi Ar Kung Fu  was another game that I enjoyed as a child. However, I got really spoiled by the PSX up to the PS4. The hit boxes in  Yi Ar Kung Fu  are expected to be not that good. Come on, it's a NES game...

Some 1980s to 1990s masterpieces can be overshadowed, right? Whether it'd be some Super Sentai before Hyajakuu Sentai Gaoranger (because most of them can go overboard with dramatic tones), the older Kamen Rider series (because it was definitely still struggling to find its identity), AND the Metal Hero series (because the franchise' plug got pulled). Metal Hero was canceled but never forgotten. Come on, Super Sentai and Kamen Rider still make references to it a LOT. One show I decided to check out is Blue SWAT.   Metal Hero got canceled like the Super Robot Anime franchise. That's why I felt that Super Sentai may get canceled one day -- if ever Toei creates a new genre that will override it! I've watched Blue SWAT into six episodes! Yes, that's why I deleted my Dengeki Sentai Changeman watch-a-thon posts! Blogging is just a hobby so these posts are NEVER obligatory! Anyway, I'd like to talk about my first impressions on Blue SWAT . I heard it was enjoyed by olde...

I'm not the biggest of Mortal Kombat 11 . However, I still like the game to a certain extent -- despite feeling that Aftermath was plain HIGHWAY ROBBERY. The return of Friendships was something that made me say, "Shouldn't we have had those instead of Babalities in Mortal Kombat (2011) ?" It's time to look at the hit or miss! Mortal Kombat II up to Mortal Kombat Trilogy featured Friendships. Some of them were a hit. The others were pretty much a miss or just plain OOC. It's probably due to the time constraints as well as memory constraints. Some of them had a repeated friendship with a different variation. Who can remember the doll friendships in Mortal Kombat II by the palette swapped ninjas? They were followed up by Klassic Sub-Zero, Hanzo Scorpion, and Reptile doing a jack in the box -- their own versions! I found that rather dull and boring. Some Friendships didn't even match the character. Mortal Kombat 3 and its updates had some questionable ones. Ni...

  No video game franchise is without its flaws. I only played Mortal Kombat back then -- hoping that its violence could help me "man up". However, I ended up liking Liu Kang (my fave) even if he wasn't always the main character. Sure, I'm not impressed with how Mortal Kombat 1's timeline turns out -- especially since various reincarnations aren't working IMHO. I'd like to revisit a game that revived the franchise -- and a game that badly needs to be REMADE. I was so upset with Mortal Kombat 1's bloatedness that I became, "No PS5! I DON'T CARE!" However, I'd be lying to say that Tekken 8 isn't getting me tempted to get one! Tekken 8 looks much better and is getting better reviews. Mortal Kombat 1 is pretty much NOT a good reboot IMHO. Now, time to really talk about how Mortal Kombat (2011) made me forget the first eight games. The punch/attack scheme has been more charming (at least to me)  Mortal Kombat started out with the use of...
