John Wick vs Michael Myers
In my older articles I did two John Wick scenarios where he would go up against The Punisher, Batman, and even Neo from the Matrix. So far John Wick didn't disappoint. He's either been above average or decent in his assassination killing spree career.

Romantic Movie Cliches That Hollywood Will Never Tire Of
Whether we're a fan of the genre or not, romance films are still seen by Hollywood as one of their most bankable genres. The genre has two significant spikes in popularity, first during the Hollywood Golden Age with the films of Fred and Ginger, and secondly during the 1980s and 1990s with films like Ghost, Sleepless In Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, Four Weddings & a Funeral and Notting Hill. During those spikes, specific trends or even cliches began to be formed. These cliches would soon start to be used again and again with each successful film released by Hollywood during said peak periods. Some of these cliches have carried over through the decades and are (un)fortunately still being used within the romantic genre today. This post will explore the most common ones.

Earth's Mightiest Elite Four
I have a strong love for Pokemon, I first got into it when it debuted here in the US and have been a Pokefan ever since. It has influenced my writing and, over the last several months, I have written several articles detailing teams I would use if I was a Pokemon Trainer, member of an Elite Four, or even Pokemon Champion.

life Lessons In SpongeBob
SpongeBob has been on the air for over 21 years. The show has spun off into a multimedia franchise that includes movies, toys, clothing, and more. Created by marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, the show centers around an anthropomorphic sea sponge, his friends, and their crazy shenanigans. Throughout the series, we see SpongeBob attempt (and failed multiple times) to get his driver’s license. We see him go through Ups and downs in his job as a fry cook, which he is very passionate about. We also see him hang out with his best friend Patrick and do their hobbies together such as jellyfishing or annoying their neighbor Squidward.

Blaire White's Misuse of Power
I do not know Blaire White personally, what I’m about to say in this essay are my personal opinions based on a large amount of research I’ve done on Blaire White. I have no personal first-hand knowledge about any of the issues addressed here. The information brought up here came from multiple videos from other YouTuber creators, all of whom I will acknowledge through this essay. Let me be clear about something very important. Any of my issues with Blaire White mentioned here have NOTHING to do with her being a Transgender woman and her right to thrive as a whole person. Some thoughts may be my reaction to her talking about Transgender issues, but they have nothing to do with her being Transgender. Anyone who has read my piece about “I’m Divorcing J.K. Rowling, and I’m Keeping the Kids” will know I am proud of my Transgender brothers and sisters and Non-Binary individuals, and will continue to fight for their rights. Everything mentioned in this essay addresses her constant spread of misinformation and the damage doing this is causing and will continue to cause with what she is doing.

How Jonny Quest Inspired Me
Jonny Quest in the 90s had a couple of different titles, “New Adventures of” or “Real Adventures of” depending on the season and where you lived on Earth, so here I’ll just be referring to it as Jonny Quest and assume I’m discussing the 90’s show. Despite the 2 seasons being very different shows in regards to demographic focus, they both had the same main plots; Scientist dude and his action hero BFF take their kids around the world solving mysteries and fighting monsters and villains of all sorts. It sort of borrowed a lot from the X-Files craze in that regard and helped pave the way for other shows of its type such as the early seasons of Supernatural, Roswell: Aliens, Myths, and Legends, and numerous ghost and paranormal hunter type reality shows and documentaries.

George Lucas: Genius
George Lucas was once considered an unparalleled film genius. At some point, he fell from grace and was demoted to being merely an ideas man. Although the historical truth lies somewhere in between. George Lucas’ talents were balanced by his flaws in other areas, both of which were growing so large that the flaws became undeniably obvious. Lucas was more than just an “ideas man” however. It is said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, which best describes Lucas’ approach.
