During the early 1970s, the toy industry was facing a serious crisis.  Aside from Hasbro's G.I.Joe Adventure Team and Mego's World's Greatest Superheroes line, kids were somewhat bored with the same old static action figures  and parents were looking for something fresh and exciting to spark their children's imagination. Toy manufacturers were struggling to keep up with the demand for innovative toys that could hold kids' attention for more than a few minutes. Amidst this chaos, Japan's major Toy company, Takara, ushered in a new line of science fiction action figures called, Microman whose emergence was a breath of fresh air, addressing the need for something more dynamic, versatile, and most importantly, customizable via introducing the concept of a 10-centimeter-tall action figure with interchangeable parts. The initial design was simple yet ingenious - a sleek, futuristic designs with vehicles and playsets with interchangeable parts and accessories, kids cou...

2024 was an interesting year for me. - I discovered the awesomeness that is Don Lee.  - I discovered the awesomeness that is Tak Sakaguchi - I discovered the awesomeness that is Rayna Vallandingham. - The director of The Night Comes For Us made another movie, - I watched something that I would never expect I would enjoy. - I saw one of the greatest martial arts movies ever from the least expected country. Was there also shit? Yes, there was. So, without further ado here we go. TV  Shit:  Cobra Kai After watching the first 5 episodes I found the season racist and insufferable. They emasculated Kenny and made him win a stupid chicken chase. Not to mention they let him shit his pants because that was “funny”. I don’t need to tell you whose piece of shit humor that was. The next 5 episodes were quite stupid. All kinds of stupid types of martial arts “matches” I’ve never seen in a karate tournament. And why is stick fighting part of a karate tournament? Stick fighting is reser...

What seems to be the next to last from Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, Venom 3 the Last Dance is a bittersweet bookend to the Superhero comedy series. The basic premise of Last Dance revolves around Eddie Brock and his BFF symbiote being pursued by Imperium led by Rex Strickland and worse, the Xenophage unleashed by a mysterious entity Knull who is the creator of the symobites. Why, Venom? Because he is the only one who has this “matrix of leadership” called the codex.  The sequel written by Tom Hardy despite a few flaws and your usual caveats, serves as a love letter or at least a tribute with Venom going on this journey which began from being transported back to his universe. As in, "the sonyverse”.  Brock learns that he is considered a suspect for the murder of NYPD officer Patrick Mulligan. He stumbles into some underground criminals within a Dog fighting circuit kennel, and dispatches them, which is always a good thing because animal cruelty is wrong. So is d...
