BW’s Morning Video: Everything Wrong With CinemaSins (according to CinemaSins)

If you found this funny check out their YouTube channel and their recent addition TV Sins. If you didn’t check out my old review of the channel or my later defense of the channel. It might not change your opinion but I could use the hits. 😀

 

Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Trailer Drops

I’ve tried to avoid it but it seems like every YouTube channel that discusses video games and/or movies has to put something out about it. I’ve been luckier with blogs but it seems I can’t avoid watching this thing, which means I’m probably not going to avoid talking about it. I considered doing a live reaction but I’m not very interesting on my own without a script (and for all I know even that doesn’t help) and the big studios have been willing to go after negative trailer reactions so I’ll just stick to articles.

Yes, we’re talking about the live-action Sonic The Hedgehog movie, another bit of proof that not everything has to be live-action. Trying telling Hollywood that. They won’t believe you. This is a franchise designed for cartoons right down to the sprites for the original Sega Genesis video game. This should have been an animated movie. At least it wouldn’t have looked like this.

BW’s Morning Article Link: Warped Time In Historical Fiction

Now there’s a team-up we’ll never get to see.

Game Of Thrones isn’t an historical piece by any stretch, but it does take a lot of cues from the Medieval period. So when Variety contributor Daniel Nissen saw a coffee cup in the fantasy world of Westeros (left behind from the catering table on-set) he thought back to other historical inaccuracies in movies and television. While I’m happy to see someone else notice Radar O’Reilly got his comic books via time travel I would think it would cause an article about real world things showing up in fantasy productions or times the set crew messed up and left something behind on-set that didn’t belong there.

The Evolution Of Pokémon Battle Animation

I know just enough about Pokemon to know this is one.

The Pokémon games started on the Game Boy, which had a few limitations when it came to how much data you could put on them. Technology evolves and Pokémon are all about evolving, so naturally they changed with the times, finding new ways to enhance the experience without changing the core gameplay that fans expect from the main series. In this recent video from New Frame Plus, host Daniel Floyd goes over the many additions to the battle animations as you the trainer take on other trainers through the years, while speculating what the upcoming Sword and Shield games may attempt to do.
