World of Grey

If anyone has seen both the 2003 and 2012 TMNT shows, you'll know this character!

In Rise of the TMNT Movie, we got a peek at the Earth Protection Force as they carted away one of the Krang...

This version is human and has the same personality as the 2003 version but isn't 200 years old.

Ok, so this guy is a Disney character....though he's only appeared twice.

The first time was back when TaleSpin, Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Ducktales, and Darkwing Duck had comics series to tie in to the shows, Solego was an evil wizard trapped in a gem.

He was the villain of Legend of the Chaos God, which was a crossover story told across those comics.

In the Ducktales reboot, he is remade as a mad thinker who believed the Multiverse exists...

My story runs with that as he winds up in Dimension 1 after his experiment goes awry, which turns him into a fusion of the Monitor from DC and the Watcher from Marvel.

In fact, he brings together the characters together when there's a big threat that shows up!

Ok, that's the name of this verse as it's really the only one I could think of...

So, next Tuesday is the release of the DLC for DOOM: The Dark Ages called Revelations!

I'm looking forward to this one because it's gonna have us meet the Wretch mentioned in DOOM 2016 and give us flashbacks to the original DOOM games from the 90's....

Ok, this is one of the stories set in this universe, and it is a modern reboot of Freakazoid!

The story opens with Dexter Douglas landing in the Digital Circus by way of a dare that involves him staying the night in the abandoned C and A Building.

He winds up the victim of a freak accident involving a thunderstorm, which results in him meeting the crew and spending time with them.

Eventually, he winds up having to save them when V.I.R.U.S. attacks the Circus and takes it over.

Following these events, they wind up in the real world at one point. They they also wind up getting Queenie, Kaufmo, Ribbit, and Jax back. By the end of the whole thing, Dexter operates as Freakazoid in the real world while the others head back home, with some help from a group that operates out of the town of Bailey.....

I know I'm late, but I'm just going over the shared universe aspect of this series because as of season 3, the green lanterns are going to appear!

Anyways, the second season sees Superman take on Brainiac and his enforcer: Kara! Luckily, Superman and his friends are able to break the brainwashing on Kara and beat Brainiac for good.

This season not only introduced Supergirl, but it also showed that this universe is bigger as the alien race that Hawkman and Hawkgirl are part of appear, a Parademon appears, and a Green Lantern shows up!

This is starting to turn into the new DCAU!

Since the new season of this show is coming out on Sunday, I figured catch everyone up on the first 2 seasons of it in the meantime....

So, in season one, we meet Clark, Lois, and Jimmy as they intern at the Daily Planet. At the same time, Clark is making his debut as Superman and, over the course of the season, builds a rouges gallery of villains:

Silver Banshee

Rough House

Mist

Livewire

Heat Wave

Parasite

Mxyzptlk

But the ones that give him the most trouble is Task Force X made up of Amanda Waller, Lois's dad Sam, and Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, who think he's a threat. The trio are able to beat the odds, but little do they know that something way more dangerous was on the way.......

Yeah, I remember this hero shooter.....it was the most popular one until Marvel Rivals came along that is....

To me, I was interested in the backstory of its universe, and I think they should do what Riot does for League of Legends:

Make single player spin offs!

Leave the hero shooter thing as it's going now, but have other studios make games set its world that elaborates on certain events:

A game set during the time it and Blackwatch were active....

A game set during the gap leading into the recall....

A game about the fight with Null Sector set after the recall....

As you can guess from the title, this is about franchises with entries that sport this trope. For a quick explanation of the trope:

It's basically making a new work by patching together different elements from different sources....

I'm starting with the film series featuring the Blue Blur!

The films for Sonic combine various elements from the video game series:

The second film is a fusion of the events of Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. There are some differences to make it unique, though:

In the games, Knuckles was guarding the Master Emerald and didn't know much about his race....

the movie changes it so that Knuckles is instead looking for the Master Emerald and knows about his tribe but by the end, he's a hero and is guarding it...

The third film is a fusion of Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog and does the same thing:

In the games, the whole thing kicks off when Eggman breaks Shadow out for a new scheme and frames Sonic because GUN can't differentiate between the two....

The film has Shadow freed by someone else, while the Commander gets killed, which gets Team Sonic in trouble so the frame up makes sense....

Shadow also has his backstory changed in some ways as well:

In the games, Shadow is created by Gerald and Black Doom...

The film changes it so that Shadow instead arrives on Earth in a meteor and is fully formed but has no memories...

The Space Colony Ark is in the games, but the film just uses the Eclipse Cannon as a kill sat with one big room...

Maria is normal in the film, but in the games, she was dying.....

Gerald dies long before the present day by firing squad in the games but the film has him survive until present day.....

Sorry, lots of things happened in the past 2 weeks! But since the 2nd season of DMC is going to come out next Tuesday, I'm gonna share my experience with this franchise...

My first introduction to Devil May Cry was actually the reboot by Ninja Theory, but that was only in that it was my first game in the series.

The reboot was a fun game, and the story is basically a punk version of the main series but turns Dante and Vergil into nephilim, angel/demon hybrids, which makes this the only installment that acknowledged heaven being around!

The next time I saw Reboot!Dante was in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale and well, I haven't seen him since then....

My first exposure to Classic!Dante, along with Trish and Vergil, was in Marvel vs Capcom 3 and it's Ultimate update!

Fun fact: I thought that the 3 of them were humans who used magic to fight demons....

I also clocked their personalities as well...

Dante was the cool smart ass

Vergil was the ultra serious brother

Trish was the one with a past

And I pretty much thought they were cool!

But I wouldn't get their backstories and lore until DMC5....

The fifth game pretty much brought me up to speed on everything that happened and introduced me to Lady, Nero, and a few others. It was also tons of fun and the music kicked ass!

Finally, back after tearing through a few games, which I'll give my thoughts on them.

Starting with this one!

Now, I was aware of Joe Musashi as he appeared in Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. But this game is my first time playing a game from his series!

The story begins with Ruse, a powerful villain and the head of ENE Corp, wiping out the Oboro Clan that Joe leads, and we follow him as he takes the fight to Ruse.

The game is done by the guys who did Streets of Rage 4 as it is drawn in 2D animation, which is pretty! I'm not saying a lot because it needs to be experienced cause it is a fun ride from start to finish....

I will tell you about the DLC pack that came out on April 3rd....

It adds 5 new stages as well as 3 new bosses and various other goodies!

Who are the bosses?

Death Adder from Golden Axe

Goro Majima from Yakuza

Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog

Yes, in a story that occurs after Ruse is defeated, his misuse of supernatural energies results in these 3 characters getting pulled into Joe's universe and now he has to battle them....

This was a fun one!!!!

Figured I'd share my opinion on the racing game that came out last year....

It's pretty fun, and I did get the DLC that is still getting packs as we got the Mega Man one during the last week of last month! Plus, the free characters they're adding don't hurt either.

In fact, this month, we're getting Red from Angry Birds and Goro Majima in his pirate suit from Yakuza! So that means there's only 3 characters left as well as the TMNT and Avatar characters.

Ok, now let's move the action away from Earth and out into the farthest reaches of space and join a team of mercenaries who pilot a Mechagodzilla!

Starship Godzilla: First Wars

Ayan and her crew do odd jobs across the galaxy and meet various alien races. They even run across King Ghidorah at one point, but their next job winds up landing them in a dangerous situation....

During a mission on a mining planet, Ayan winds befriending a rebel named Frey, who's battling the Xilian Empire. The Xiliens are a nefarious empire that is trying to conquer the galaxy and will destroy anyone who gets in the way....

Ayan, who has a strong sense of justice, decides to help the Rebellion out. Unfortunately, the rest of the crew took up a job with said empire, and they even tried to imprison her! Luckily, she has the charisma of Star Lord and gets them to help her, which is great because the Xiliens manage to take control of SpaceGodzilla in order to kill the rebels...

Ayan, Frey, and the crew manage to get the Xiliens to retreat by making SpaceGodzilla angry enough to turn on his masters but it comes with a cost as they're now at the top of the Xiliens @#$% list.

But at least Ayan and Frey are gonna be a couple in the future, so.....silver lining?

So, that concludes Ayan's story....for now at least as Ayan and The Wanderer will return, and as of this writing, Jacen's story is in its second arc... about 2 issues into it at least!

Okay, I'm back...so let's jump to the next character in this universe. Now, while The Wanderer's story was a post-apocalyptic western, this has more of superhero feel!

Godzilla: End of the Reign

Our story begins in sunny San Diego, the home base of a faction of G-Force that operates in the USA. The team is made up of 5 members:

Riviera, the team leader with a patriotic streak...

Rumi Chiba, a transfer from the Japan team who's a telepath...

Nuki, the weapons specialist....

Incense, an influencer with pyrokinetic powers....

Jet Jaguar, a robot who can grow to the size of a kaiju....

But now they're getting a 6th member in the form of a teenage boy named Jacen Braid, who is the strongest G-Mutant in the world as a month ago he drove off Godzilla!

While tracking and fighting monsters, they soon come across a horde of leeches called Yacumama that drain Kai Sei energy. This results in the team splitting into 2 teams:

Jacen, Rumi, and Jet Jaguar pursue Godzilla as he's looking for the leeches...

Riviera, Incense and Nuki head off to investigate a test site in Nevada...

Riviera and his group run into Lament, a kaiju with the ability to speak and with high intelligence that is able to convince him to help it. The 2 teams meet up in an underground area where Rumi is able to convince them that the leeches are dangerous to everyone, and it results in a team up between G-Force USA and Godzilla!

But Lament puts a backup plan in motion and reveals that their true identity is that of Jacen's mother and that Godzilla's attack was deliberate, which resulted in Jacen and Godzilla going for a third round with Las Vegas as the battleground......

During the chaos, Lament goes on a villain rant about how she was chosen by the anti Kai Sei and that Jacen is her weapon to achieve her mission. She escapes after Godzilla is damaged enough that he will explode and turn Vegas into a 2nd Deadzone. Until Rumi comes up with a plan to save everyone: she is able to telepathically convince Godzilla to hop into Jacen's body and, as a result, Vegas isn't destroyed!

Now, that might seem like a happy ending, but Lament is still out there, and with Godzilla gone, it means that something more dangerous is going to take the vacant throne......let's hope SpaceGodzilla doesn't drop out of the sky to take over because he's very evil!
