I saw The Predator (2018) and it's not bad.......it's worse than I thought! (Spoilers)

    Hi everyone, it's Hector again and welcome to another one of my shenanigans, but unfortunately, this is not going to be a pleasant one as the topic I'm discussing today won't be positive as this is my first official rant on this blog of mine. I do my best to stay positive or put a positive spin on various things, but guess a rant was bound to happen sooner or later as this certain movie really did a number on me and my intelligence. Recently, I decided to check out the Predator franchise, particularly the sequels as I did see the first movie a couple of years ago, and thought it was fantastic, but never got around to seeing the sequels, though I wanted to. Predator 2 was uneven, but enjoyable, while Predators, despite its faults, I was quite into thanks to its amazing premise and cast! Then, I moved onto the next installment, The Predator, and let's just say this movie is one of the most stupid, horribly written, poorly thought out, creatively bankrupt, laughable ab

Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom?! (Why we should keep an open mind on this casting choice)

      Hi everyone, Hector again with more of my shenanigans, but thought I would discuss something a little different this time around, which is of a recent announcement that happened a week ago at San Diego Comic Con 2024. A lot has been shown and announced from Marvel, from Thunderbolts to Captain America: Brave New World to Fantastic Four: First Steps (most looking forward to that one), and the two Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars. Avengers 5 was initially called Kang Dynasty, but due to the controversial Jonathan Majors situation, Majors was fired from Kang, and plans regarding Kang has changed, which based on the title, Doomsday, sounds like Doctor Doom will be the next big villain! But what caught everyone's attention is who will be playing Doctor Doom, and it's none other than Iron Man/Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Junior!      Saying this news is surprising is an understatement as no one in a million years would have guessed this happening! Funnily enough,
