What I like is that Cameron is not acting embarrassed about old technology. Some directors talk about 3D like it was a mistake from the past decade, but he still believes in it. I respect that consistency. He built a huge part of his career around immersive visuals, so this feels natural for...

Jon Bernthal is the only actor who should play the Punisher. He has the perfect look and voice for the part. I am excited to see what he does as a director. It is a big responsibility to lead a project like this. The trailer gives me a lot of hope that it will be a serious and mature story. Ma...

I went in blind and honestly the first hour confused me a bit with the story but once the fighting started it clicked. Rick Norton feels solid as always. The kitchen cooking part is a fun little break between stages. Enemy variety is way better than I expected with all those weird creatures...

Capcom trolling us on purpose at this point. They know exactly what they did. Bring back a fan favorite, give him cool new stuff, then drop the “he married the baby he held” bomb and sit back with popcorn. The internet did the rest. French fry hair was a problem five years ago, now we’re at...

For me, this is the most interesting part of Alex coming back. This is actually the first time we are seeing an older Alex. People forget that Street Fighter V takes place before Street Fighter III, so the Alex in V was still younger and not fully formed yet. Now in Street Fighter 6, time has...

Missing this game at launch always felt like a mistake. A physical release makes jumping in feel easier somehow. Digital libraries get ignored too easily. A disc makes it feel real and worth time. The huge collector edition looks fun but unnecessary. The middle option is more appealing because...

I wasn’t expecting to feel so drawn to the new Lara, but the trailer really sold it. I like that she’s stylish, lethal, and focused, yet still human. That middle ground between Survivor and Classic Lara is perfect. The teaser didn’t show gameplay, but it didn’t need to. You could tell she’s...

Haha, seriously, where did they get these costumes? Party City? Temu? They look so cheap and stiff that I kept thinking someone just grabbed them last minute from a bargain bin. It makes it hard to take any of the fights seriously when the outfits are this distracting.

I don’t expect Chun-Li to be slim, especially at her age. Her legs are supposed to be strong, and with her being in her 50s, it makes sense that she’s not going to have that youthful, slender look anymore. The thick legs reflect the years of intense training and fighting, and I think that’s...

I am really happy they decided to bring Joe Higashi back in a way that feels meaningful. For too long he was treated like a supporting character while Terry got all the spotlight. Now he not only gets new moves but also a storyline centered on him. I like how they show him older instead of...

I like to add humor when I talk about fighters, but I will keep it simple. I think Joe keeping his shirtless look is true to form and also funny in a safe way. Glasses plus bandages makes him both mature and still ready for a fight. The idea of storm moves and tornadoes in a Muay Thai kit is...

I am really frustrated with some of these casting choices because they make no sense. Roman Reigns as Akuma is the biggest problem for me. Akuma is Japanese, he has a very specific look and cultural background. Roman is Samoan, and the only reason he probably got this role is because he is The...

I am so tired of Noah Centineo being pushed into roles he does not fit. People even joke calling him Noah Scented Mayo, and honestly, that is how he feels in most movies: plain and forgettable. Ken Masters is supposed to have personality, confidence, and also a real cultural link. Ken is half...

Sadly is the last thing we might see between these companies since Marvel dumped Capcom for Ark system works.

As someone who read the original Alice in Borderland manga long before the series was even announced, I have to say the adaptation has truly surpassed the source material in many ways. The live-action version took the foundation of the manga and built something more intense, more emotionally...
