 Overview Transformers One is the origin story of the Transformers' story that many know and love. I finally got to watch it on Netflix when I had some free time. With the fate of their world on the line, a few low class miners on the planet Cybertron set out to find an eternal source of energy for their planet. It proves to not be easy when they learn that there are forces out of their control at play as well. Growing Pains (SPOILERS!!) In this movie, you watch as Optimus Prime and Megatron grow apart throughout their journeys. They begin as close friends and run into more and more conflict as Optimus grows into a leader of hope and Megatron grows into a ruler of power. Both of them are in the direct way of the other becoming the person that they want to be. Megatron for the worse, and Optimus for the better. Ironically, right at the climax you see Megatron quite literally "let go" of Optimus, letting him die in order to become Megatron. It is after this that Optimus Pri...

  Overview If you have not watched Seasons 1 & 2 of Invincible, go catch up then come back here! If you're insistent on not doing that, though, there is a Season 1 & 2 review on this page as well, tune in to that to learn more about the plot. I'm not going over it again lol. This season threw me for a loop, however. I watched Season 3 with my girlfriend as I did with Season 1 & 2 and I must say that this time it feels like we're getting to the meat and potatoes of this story. This is the real Invincible, everything before was just a warmup. We had to pause through the episodes so much just to process what it was that we've seen, or just vent about how whatever character just made us mad. This season had a lot to unpack, but I love where the story is heading. Human or Hero cont. I'm sorry if you were expecting a different little rant, but I love Mark's progression through the Human vs Hero conflict that I had discussed in my Season 1 & 2 review an...

  Overview Originally, at least to me, known as the "Anime made by the same guy that made One Punch Man", Mob Psycho has evolved past being in it's creator's previous work's shadow. I started this anime back during the pandemic and watched each episode of Season 3 as it released. I did this rewatch with my girlfriend, who has never seen it, so I had an excuse to watch and take notes for you all to read! The story of Mob Psycho follows a middle school boy called Mob who has physic powers. These abilities make him close to all-powerful in their world. However, he chooses to live a regular life thanks to the teachings of a local conman, Arataka Reigen who he does exorcisms for. As a secret organization of physics try to take over the world, Mob and his friends must stop them all the while balancing their regular lives and growing up in middle school. Nobody is Special If you were close to omnipotent, what would you do in life? Become a superhero? Try to take over the...
