Was it that hard, Hollywood?! The Fantastic Four are finally back!

      Hi everyone, Hector again! I hope you're all doing well. I'm quite excited as for this blog post as I'm here to talk about the newest and arguably, the most important Marvel movie to hit the big screen, The Fantastic Four: First Steps! The moment I heard about this movie happening, I was beyond excited, despite the odds going up against the movie. And I can happily say this movie was fantastic in practically every sense of the word as it's not only the best Fantastic 4 movie (aside from the Incredibles), but also one of the best Marvel films!      Marvel's First Family, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four haven't been given the best treatment, on and off screen, for many years. The Fantastic 4 had a movie made in the 1990s that had Roger Corman involved and had a very low budget. I actually got around to seeing it on YouTube and it's actually enjoyable despite its odd reputation, but this is where it gets weird, as the movie was nev...

    (Spoilers for all of Gargoyles)        Hello everyone, Hector here. Long time, no see, but I hope you're all doing well! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been struggling with figuring out my next blog post since I got so many ideas I love to discuss, as well as dealing with stuff in my personal life. However, something finally came to me recently, and let's say the idea/theory I got for today's topic is so exciting that it got my creative juices in my mind rolling once again! And it's none other than Gargoyles, particularly why Wolf should be redeemed, become a part of the Redemption Squad, and how it could happen! Hold onto your butts for this one because I got a lot to say about this particular topic!      For anyone who has been reading my previous blog posts, I would mention Wolf quite often. For anyone who isn't familiar with him, Wolf is a reoccurring character in one of my favorite shows ever, Gargoyles. Wolf is p...

Nappa: The Dragon Ball villain that truly changed the status quo!

      Hello everyone, Hector again, and hope you're all doing well! I have an exciting topic today to discuss that involves one of my favorite things in the world: Dragon Ball! I was in the mood to go back into Dragon Ball recently, particularly with Z as that's the one I grew up on, and it was fantastic to revisit! I'm not hugely into anime, but Dragon Ball Z is everything I love rolled into one incredible package: Full of imagination, effective world-building, spectacular action, amazing animation, excellent music, and a lot of beautiful people making stuff explode! It's perfect!       I'll gladly go into more detail on how the franchise influenced me, but that's for another time as I don't want to veer off from my topic today too much. As for this topic, it involves a particular character from Dragon Ball Z that caught my eye in more ways than one, and that is none other than the mighty Nappa!!! For anyone who doesn't know or remember, Nappa is a vi...

Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (It's Terror Time Again)

Image
      Hello everyone, Hector here once again, and I'm so excited about our latest topic for my blog as it's about one of my favorite things ever! Recently, I've visited one of my favorite events, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida for its 33rd year and for the past few years since 2021 (AKA the best vacation ever), I've been attending the event. Coming into HHN 2024, I was optimistic but skeptical as the prior year I experienced wasn't great as many of the scare zones, haunted houses, and overall vibe weren't clicking with me unfortunately. In retrospect, I was disappointed by the experience as something felt missing or off. It wasn't a total disaster though as I enjoyed a couple of the scare zones and some of the haunted houses were fantastic, like "The Darkest Deal" (the best house of 2023), "Dueling Dragons", "Universal Monsters: Unmasked", and "The Last of Us."      I walked into the haunted house...
