Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man in the MCU has always been a mixed bag for me, I loved his introduction in civil war, didn’t enjoy his first solo film that much, hated Far From Home but, with the hype surrounding this film, I had to go see it myself before the very annoying trolls spoilt it for me. This review is spoiler free and I’ll mostly be talking about what we already saw from the trailers thus far.

After his battle with Mysterio at the end of Far From Home, Peter Parker’s identity has been revealed to the world and he must now find a way to navigate through life as a framed hero in the eyes of the public. This leads him to request help from Doctor Strange so he can make the world forget he’s Spider-Man. During the process of casting the spell, Peter interrupts Strange and botches it completely which then leads to villains from other realities who know Spider-Man to come through into the world of the marvel cinematic universe.

We get to see a lot of villains from the old Spider-Man films come through and Peter finds a way (with help of Strange and his friends) to stop them. Strange then reveals to Peter that these villains all die and that he’ll be sending them to the point in time which they do and this doesn’t sit well with Peter. The two battle it out and the aftermath leads to things Peter would never expect.

I really enjoyed the experience even though the film isn’t perfect or super cohesive. They’re some weird stuff in it but I feel for the most part, they knock it out of the park. No Way Home is a very interesting film. I have to commend how it found a way to make all the easter eggs and references weave into the story rather than just be there for the sake of it. They were moments where the usual forced humor was dragged on too long and most of the villains are kind of reimagined in order to fit more in this universe. When this film is seen by every one, they’ll be conversations about it for decades, they’re so many moments that you can’t help but smile about and scream to. For any Spidey fan, some of the things you’ll see here will feel like things of dreams.

If you’re looking for something entertaining to watch you’ll not be disappointed but, I must say this, if you’re looking for something as good as Spider-Man 2 or The Amazing Spider-Man, you may not love this film. I can’t lie, the fan boy in me was entertained thoroughly but, the wannabe critic had some issues and moments of cringe through out the film.

At its core, No Way Home is really just over two hours of fan service but, who are we if not fans? Go see it and tell me what you thought about it if you have already in the comments. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!

IT(2017):Lazy Review

I've been stuck thinking about what to post and I got nothing. But I remembered that I watched "IT" late December and I wasn't scared surprisingly. I mean,they were a couple of jump scares but overall nothing really scared me. It was a fun movie though and I see why it got a sequel announced and universal praise. It's based of the first chapter of the Stephen King novel of the same name and I have read a couple of pages from the book but I haven't finished it because I'm lazy and I procrastinate a lot(I haven't still finished reading a song of ice and fire). Set in the '90-somethings(I'm lazy don't eat me) in a town of something,something(I know,you're disappointed) a series of kids get missing and the adults of the town act like nothing's happening. Bill Denbrough(that's right,I remembered his name) looses his brother as well. Billy and other kids in the town(including his friends) start to see th...

Samurai Champloo: Why Is It So Good?

In the year 2005, the anime community had one of their gems; Samurai Champloo come out. Its well written and set in an extremely lively version of old school (Edo) japan. Its storyline is simple, two extremely skilled yet very different swordsmen Mugen and Jin have fate bring them across a young outspoken lady Fuu who helps them out of a tough spot and insist on them accompany her to find the very vaguely named “samurai who smells of sunflowers”. This serves as the catalyst that carries us on a well voiced, animated, and extremely stylistic adventure across japan towards the course of its 20 plus episode run. Here are some of the reasons I think Samurai Champloo is so enjoyable 1. TONE AND SETTING: One of the reasons it works so well is that even with its fictional story, its grounded in reality without being overly dramatic or serious. Most films, shows and games based off old eras like this usually take themselves super serious and in the process turn out being bla...

First Listen: Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here.

woah. brother broccoli starts 2023 with something totally unexpected: a psychedelic rock album. lil yachty said in an interview (with someone i don't remember) that he just wants to be taken seriously, as a musician. it's a little sad when someone puts their all into a craft, sometimes even create a groundbreaking sound, but still get termed the bare minimum or worse, "mumble rapper." while this album is beautiful, it's not as stellar as other projects in the same genre. but music is more than that. it's also the process, emotions, message, etc. brother broccoli took a risk to make what he wants/feels and he succeeded. that's what makes this album a beauty asides the wonky ai art and trying-hard-to-stay-in-the-flow lyricism . the features ate. the producers brought their a-game. the engineers blessed the record. since poland, it's clear that yachty decided to broaden his scope and make not just music he loves, but quality. i definitely respect his art...

Why I Love: One Piece

Last year was quite a hard time for me, it was my final year at the university and for what felt like the first time in my life, I was truly struggling with school. Not the “oh I’m scared I might not do well” but I was genuinely doing bad. This wasn’t because I wasn’t reading or not putting in the work, it was just because I was given a terrible lecturer as a supervisor. I used to think I had a good relationship with him but during the course of the second semester I began to see a shift in his personality and obvious hate towards me. As someone who struggles with insecurities, I was constantly insulted and ridiculed for no real reasons and even though I knew what he said about me wasn’t true, I was still hurt. Hurt not just because of how he made me feel bad but hurt because the idea of failing and disappointing my parents and family in general was killing me on the inside and I had no means to express how trapped I felt. You’re probably wondering, “Why...
