Wastelander997 - I Like A Lot Of Things - Tumblr Blog
Ah, Bruceploitation. An era where the world was just like, "Bruce Lee didn't die, what are you talking about? This is Bruce Lee right here!" Only to reveal a vaugly Bruce Lee looking gentleman who's POSSIBLY from Hong Kong.
Possibly.
Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave (Doo-yong Lee, 1976)
I wanna know the story of the 76 people who voted for Jersey Devil
Who should be the Sony PlayStation’s Mascot? (Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine #15, Dec. 1998)
It bugs me how recently when a new Disney cartoon show comes out the cartoon community is often like "The next insert-canceled-show-here?!"
That tends to put a lot of pressure and unreasonable expectations on the show. So when the show premieres and it's nothing like insert-canceled-show-here people feel like the show is a failure when said show is not trying to be insert-canceled-show-here in the first place.
Look, I get it. I miss Gravity Falls, I miss Amphibia, and I especially miss Owl House, but it's unfair to judge a show because it's not exactly like the previous one you loved by the same studio.
Not every show is going to appeal to your tastes, and that's okay. You never know what your next favorite show is going to be. Maybe it will be from Disney, maybe from somewhere else. Maybe it's premiering next week, maybe it won't be on the air for awhile, or perhaps it's already out there waiting to be discovered. Just keep an open mind and be respectful to those who you disagree with.
Not everyone is going to like the same kind of show, that's why we have so many different ice cream flavors.
This movie is so damn funny out of context. And honestly still a really sick action movie.
Sudden Death (Peter Hyams, 1995)
I'm not saying this is wrong, but all I'm saying is ONE of these guys solved a mystery that brought the gold dust back to sodor, saving basically an entire parallel dimension.
Was it Alfanso? I don't think it was.
Mario Movie spoilers ahead; skip if you don't want 'em!!!
Say what you will about the licensed songs (I'm personally mixed on them), but using "No sleep 'till Brooklyn" for Mario and Luigi's first job is just *chef's kiss* perfection.
I don't know why a Nicktoons Unite fandom is a thing now, but I'm very into it.
Meh, I can be a whore for a bit
Hi, I'm Wastelander. And I have a podcast
I know, "a guy making a podcast, no way!" But hear me out, please.
It's a podcast I made with my friends called "What the Bleep are you playing."
It's a podcast where we play a game, many times bad, and tell you why the Bleep we played it.
It's basically just us playing some games, and kind of just picking any random one we want to do and episode on. We've done classic games such as
Looney Tunes: Back in Actio
Go Vaction!
And Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
As well as, you know, some actual classics like Sonic Adventure 2 and Flatout 2
So. I know the last thing the world needs is another podcast, but hey, whens the last time you saw a podcast dedicate an episode to Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance! (Yes, seriously)
Give it a listen!
It's on basically every podcast streaming platform. I'll link to Spotify, but we're also on Google, Stitcher, Amazon, Apple, all that Jazz.
Please give it a listen, and take care!
He dosen't actually want to, but they pay well.
Wait, the Smashers have a legal team? Who in their right mind would take THEM as clients?!
Over the past month I have gone from barley caring about Oddworld, to it becoming one of my favorite game series of all time (at least, as long as this hyperfixation lasts).
Help.
Saw Sonic 2
Morbius bad
It has some cool ideas, but execution wise... yeah, it's a bad.
Why does this actually look, like, really good?
Like don't get me wrong, I did want to see this movie anyway just cause I really like the Puss in Boots character, but... wow, this actually looks kinda stupendous.
DreamWorks is going hard in 2022, damn.
The Batman is a fucking masterpiece.
Genuinely one of, it not the, best superhero movies in recent years.
I know everyone's talked about it, but damn. The cinematography, the acting, the writing, it's genuinely all fantastic.
Go watch it, please.
Moonfall is probably the dumbest movie I've seen in a very long time. It's cliche, nonsensical, and just absurdly stupid.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. I loved every minute.
Got this game for free with PS Plus.
It kinda kicks ass, NGL
To be fair, with how many stunts and bullshit Tom Cruise has put himself through, he may very well be a real life superhero.
Johnny Cage’s character concept is so fucking funny to me. Like, you’ve got Gods, and magic monks, eight different types of super-ninjas all fighting for the fate of Earth, and then there’s just this one actor who happens to be a real good fighter.
Like, imagine looking at a team of superhumans meant to stop the apocalypse and they have Tom Cruise on their team.
Most anticipated movies of 2022
What it says on the tin, these are the movies I'm most looking forward to this year.
1. The Batman
Everyone's already said it, but I'll add on: This movie looks like a Masterpiece. I love the tone and style (even if I am getting a BIT tired of constant gritty/grim Batman) the cinematography looks next level, and it just looks like a kick-ass movie. I'm looking forward to it.
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I'm a massive Sonic fan so of course I'm looking forward to Sonic 2. It dosen't help that Knuckles is my favorite Sonic character, so Idris Elba playing him is something I'm extremely excited for. Plus, I like that the trailer was less "kid's movie" and more like the trailer you'd see for a legit action movie. Got me pretty excited.
3. The Bad Guys
Coming out the same day as Sonic, I believe, this was a surprise. I really like the art style and the animation (very Spiderverse esque), and the story looks pretty fun. A bunch of normally villainized animals on the path to become good guys despite a lot of people, even themselves, saying "the hell?" It looks pretty cute and fun.
I'm not looking forward to horny fanart, but that's already happened I think.
4. Across the Spiderverse: Part One
Speaking of Spiderverse, what else do I need to say? The first Spiderverse is a Masterpiece. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. So of course I'm looking forward to Across the Spiderverse: Part One. It dosen't help the Spider-Man 2099 is coming, and I LOVE Spider-Man 2099. So again, very excited.
5. Lightyear
I made a small post about this earlier this year, but I'm just gonna reiterate. I REALLY like Buzz Lightyear, as well as just the Toy Story franchise in general, but Buzz has always been my favorite character. So to have this cool sci-fi action movie MADE by Pixar be about Buzz, and sort of the "true story" behind his toy, is just super fascinating to me.
6. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Bit of a recurring theme for this list, but I fucking LOVE Nicholas Cage. He's that actor that always gives 110%, even when the movie is kinda trash. And this just sounds like a super fascinating concept. Nicholas Cage playing HIMSELF, and helping Pedro Pascal, his biggest fan, with a big problem? It looks really good and entertaining, really excited for it.
And that's my list. Some honorable mentions are Morbius (honestly the trailer looks good to me, but the stupid amount of delays makes me roll my eyes) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Sam Rami directing a superhero movie again is fantastic, and the trailer looks great, there movies just beat it out by a touch) and Mission Impossible 7 (I love the Mission Impossible franchise, and honestly it would be on this list if we had a trailer. But we don't, and I honestly have no idea how they're going to top MI: Fallout.)
Anyway, that's that. See you guys later.
Nevermind, No Way Home was a fucking Masterpiece.
Someone: So what's your favorite marvel product of 2021 so far?
Some people: Well, Wandavsion was a Masterpiece!
Other people: Yeah, but Shang-Chi though!

I'd say best friends. Sora's only love is *REDACTED*, and I don't think Pit has any interest in romance unless it's half off chocolate cause of Valentines day.
Sora and Pit would be best freinds (or possibly boyfriends) and I will fight people about this.
