Star Wars: The Last Jedi Teaser!

Has it really been about 2 and a half years since the first teaser for The Force Awakens released? That's crazy! Wow! What the heck?! And now, after 5 months of waiting, the teaser for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is finally released! YES! And there's more material shown in this than that first teaser of the last film! So if you haven't seen this trailer yet, here it is!

Well, let's start the analysis. The trailer starts with the starry outer space... Oh wait, it's just a rock. And there's some really suspenseful music... then BAM! Rey's hand slaps on the ground and she heavily gasps. At first I thought she had felt a disturbance in the Force, but I think now she was just having trouble training.

And then the Lucasfilm logo... With Rey's theme. And I was like "Yeah!" when I heard it.

And then a beautiful shot of the sunset on Ahch-To (I had to look up that planet name) telling us that oh yeah! Rey is training with Luke on that planet!

In his kinda still young-sounding voice, Luke says "Breathe... Just... Breathe..." Well, wasn't Rey just breathing? Heh. But the way he says that is awesome.

And then Luke says "Now... reach out" and Rey lifts up little rocks with the Force, which was awesome and exciting to see! Rey can use telekinetic Force powers now!

"What do you see?"
"Light... darkness... The balance." They're still trying to achieve balance? Why not just get rid of the darkness?

Leia looks at a holographic map... Some kind of attack analysis? Wondering where Luke and Rey are? And then we see Darth Vader's helmet is a mess. And there isn't that much of it left. Oh.

And then some kind of underground planty balcony with what appears to be pillars on it... What's this? What planet is this on? What significance does this have in the film?

And then someone's glove hovers over a faded book with the rebel flag on it.

"So much bigger"says Luke. What does this mean? Out of context, I don't get it.

Then we see in the background Rey is showing off her Lightsaber skills while Luke stands from a distance. Pretty cool!

Then we see a new starfighter design... this one looks.... interesting. It kinda reminds me of B-Wing starfighters. And they're on this... ice planet,.. that has red... stuff... if you scratch the surface... Huh? Why are these ships scraping the surface anyway?

And Finn's still in a coma... What?! Man! Does this take place directly after Force Awakens, or 2 years like in real time? if the latter is the case, then that's the longest coma ever.

Poe is running in a rebel space station, evacuating to his trademark X-Wing Starfighter... Only for it to be destroyed! Aw, man! Well, I guess we've seen that happen before, with Obi-Wan and Anakin's Jedi Interceptors being destroyed in Revenge of the Sith. But I haven't developed an attachment to those ships...

The Millennium Falcon shoots some TIE Fighters! Cool! ... Oh. You wanted me to say something about that? Uh... *awkwardly slips away*

And then Rey with her Lightsaber on runs, determined, on a planet that reminds me of that one episode from Marvel's Agents of S.H,I.E.L.D.

Kylo Ren's Lightsaber still is unstable... That's awesome and all, but isn't that gonna break sooner or later? Cool shot, though.

And then we see Luke falling to his knees next to R2-D2 in front of a big fire, and what looks to be Captain Phasma and her team... Oh wow, we're actually going back and seeing more of that flashback! Cool! Didn't know Phasma was involved!

Then we see a big dogfight in space, and more new ship designs. One huge, obvious, and reminding me of the V-19 Torrent from Clone Wars, and one much smaller, subtle, and vaguely reminding me of Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter from Attack of the Clones.

"But I know only one truth... It's time for the Jedi... to end." First few times watching this, I thought Kylo Ren was saying this... But after listening more closely, that's Luke's voice! Wait a minute... Come on! You are so wrong! I get that you're older and bitter and you've gone through some terrible things, but did Obi-Wan or Yoda say that after watching almost every Jedi die? No! They still held out hope! You've gotta be kidding me! Why don't you ask the Force ghosts about this?! Seriously!

Aaaaand epic music to red title! And that's it! Well that was quite something! And I don't have much else to say other than I'm hyped! Alright! Well, see you later!

Thor: Ragnarok Teaser!

Wow, Marvel Studios hasn't even released a film in the MCU this year, and there are already trailers for each of these films! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and now Thor: Ragnarok! The last film starring the God of Thunder, Thor: The Dark World, was honestly kinda boring for me after revisiting it. But this looks exciting! In case you haven't seen it, here it is!

Well then! That was certainly something. Let's start the analysis from the beginning.
So the trailer starts with our beloved hero being violently lowered to a dungeon, covered in chains. Ouch. This dungeon looks like it's in some kind of volcano, or maybe a certain lava-filled part of the 9 realms. That'll be interesting.

"I know what you're thinking... How did this happen? Well, it's a long story."
Heh, now Marvel's going with the time-jump meme. Interesting. Not much to write about, but thought that was noteworthy.

Wait a minute... Did the villain of which the name is not apparent just grab Mjolnir??? She's not even worthy! Come on!! I know she's supposed to be threatening, but seriously, you can't break your own rules, Marvel!

Welp, Mjolnir's dead. Will Thor get another one by the end of this film? Maybe.

Oh... Well, that's weird. Why is Marvel trying to make this futuristic fantasy apocalypse feel like the 80's with those wacky transitions and rock n' roll music? I don't get it.

Wow... Now that's a hat.


And then the villain stands somewhere in Asgard in front of an army, saying "Asgard... is dead" and she pulls out her sword. I'm pretty sure she's gonna take out everybody.

And... she's right. Asgard faces the fiery destruction while Thor defends himself in it... If he can do that, will that kill anyone else? Heh, I'm not sure.


Then he finds himself in a junkyard, and there are some ships flying around, and then some aliens, one of them having a mask that looks like Teedo's. Is this junkyard the remains of Asgard after its destruction? Doesn't look that much like it. Thor says "Hi there" and just gets caught by a net... Well, not having the Mjolnir does that to him.

Then a bunch of things flash. New woman with blue makeup. That's some strange makeup. Villain on a giant bird. Oh wow. Bunch of people and birds falling. Some kind of blast made that happen? Thor getting dragged and locked in a chair. Oh boy...

"What have you brought me here, tell me."
"A contender."
Is that dude in the chair the makeup girl's father? Or just the gladiator game's master?

Is that the dude from the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy? Ooh, Thor and GOTG crossover!

That's a cool ship. Looks vaguely like the Bat... plane or whatever from the Tim Burton film.

Will this dude shooting the machine gun be any important? Will find out sometime.

And now the soldiers in the worlds Thor goes to went from medieval to futuristic.

Oh here's the villain woman showing off her skills against that Asgardian army!

Ayyyy! Loki's back! Awesome! You can't make a Thor movie without the strongest Marvel villain of them all! And he's got some gadgets! ...Oh wait, after a closer look those are just knives... OK. Anywat, that'll be interesting to see how he'll be after he took over Asgard in Dark World!

Wow green fireworks. That's different.

And now Thor comes into the gladiator Colosseum and he's got a haircut, I'm guessing because of his being captured, and a big scar on his face. Where'd that come from? And then he puts on the hat on, a cool rendition of the hat he wears in the comics!

And then... The Incredible Hulk. Someone explain to me how he got to this other realm. And how did they even get that armor on him? I knew he was gonna be in this film from things that were hinted at earlier, but that's weird. Well, in Civil War, General "Thunderbolt" Ross talked about how Thor and Banner were absent. Maybe this takes place during the Civil War? That'll be interesting. Doctor Strange I'm pretty sure took place before Winter Soldier, and now this during Civil War. The timeline is not in real time again. Okay then.

"YEEEEES!!!!" The crowd loses their excitement, which is gold. LOL.
"We know each other! He's a friend from work!" Heheh. I like it. And then the battle ensues.

Well, like I said at the beginning, this is exciting. It could be meh, like Dark World, but this villain is already looking more interesting than Malekith, and the premise is looking more interesting. I'm pretty hyped! But not as much as Spider-Man Homecoming! Still hyped, though!

Pokemon Sun and Moon Starters Revealed!

You don't know how long I've been waiting for this. All through 2015 I watched Nintendo Directs, waiting for the announcement for the next Pokemon game. None came. That is, not the next main series game. There were spinoffs and a rerelease, though. Then, they announced in February that there was gonna be a Direct specifically for Pokemon with the words "big news" attached. I watched the Direct. I was really excited. They announced the all-new games Sun and Moon. Though all they had to show was glimpses of vague concept art and a CGI model. Last month, there was an announcement that Japanese comic magazine CoroCoro would reveal new "big news" about this mysterious game. All that came was color of boxart and type reveal of a Pokemon revealed a while ago. I was waiting for game footage. Then finally, Junichi Masuda (director) announced that there was going to be big news for this game on Tuesday at 8 am. I got up, waited an hour... and it came.

Watch this trailer before anything else.



YEAH!!!!!!!!! I could ramble on and on about the quick shots and glimpses of new characters and stuff we know nothing about, but let's talk about the biggest part of the trailer: The starters! At first glance, they didn't look right. They didn't seem like what Pokemon should look like. But that happened to a lot of people when they first saw the Black/White starters. But then 5 minutes later, they grew on me! These starters actually look pretty great! Let's delve into my thoughts for each of them.
                     
Rowlet, the Grass Quill Pokemon! This is a Grass/Flying type that has the Overgrow ability and knows the new move Leafage! I wouldn't think that the move would be anything special, though. My problem with this one is that Grass-types have a lot of weaknesses. Even though it's also Flying-type it still isn't a very great type. At least it can learn the HM Fly...

Litten, the Fire Cat Pokemon! This is a Fire-type that has the ability Blaze and knows Ember! Well, that part was obvious. All Fire-type starters know Ember. I love cats, and I used to have a black cat named Patches that I miss having around to snuggle with me. For that reason, I think that's what I'm gonna choose for my first playthrough!

                             

And last but not least, Popplio, the Sea Lion Pokemon! This is a Water-type that has the ability Torrent and knows the move Water Gun! That part was also obvious. Just look at it! It's so adorable! On the website it  shows that it likes to show off its acrobatics. I was pretty torn between this and Litten but for the reasons I've explained, I think I'm choosing that one.

EDIT: Oops! After I published this I realized I forgot something! The main legendaries! Well, here they are! Of course, it was obvious that the Sun one was going to be a lion. Kinda actually reminds me of Aslan. But the Moon one....... That just looks... off, in my opinion. Unless I hear Moon has any better content, I know I'm picking Sun because of its main legendary.

Well, I can't wait for this awesome game to release. I'm excited! I'm hyped! Throughout the year I'm gonna go through a lot of the new reveals and stuff for this game. Well, see ya!

THE NEW STAR WARS 7 TRAILER!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!! THEY MADE A TRAILER TRAILER INSTEAD OF A TEASER AND I AM SO HYPED RIGHT NOW THE HYPE IS KILLING ME NO I AM THE HYPE AAAAHHHH
...
Sorry, this trailer is the best official trailer I have ever seen, and I can't wait to see this awesome movie. This trailer still tries to keep it vague with its dialogue but you can still get an idea of what the movie is about. Tickets are now available by the way.

Alright, let's analyze this trailer.

This trailer opens with Rey in a strange mask. And I know it's her because I have the LEGO set for her speeder. The question is, why is she wearing it? Was she some sort of bounty hunter? Nah...

Next, she's trying to get through some dark, big metal junk. I wanted to analyze this whole trailer myself and not rely on other analysis videos, but I happened to be watching one briefly because I thought it was something else. According to that video, she's trying to get through a crashed Super Star Destroyer. Is she salvaging parts?

"Who are you?"
"I'm no one."
Looks like Rey's got some low self-esteem... She's worse off than Luke on the Tatooine farm! Speaking of Tatooine, Rey seems to be living on the desert planet of Jakku. And BB-8 is her droid.

"I was raised to do one thing... but I've got nothing to fight for."
Finn? What do you mean? What is this one thing? Fight for the First Order? I'm not sure on that one. Also, how did your Special Forces TIE Fighter just explode like that? Did the First Order shoot you down after your betrayal? Also, Jakku from the atmosphere.

"Nothing will stand in our way... I will finish... what you started."
So Kylo Ren wants to finish up destroying the Jedi for Darth Vader? Huh. So THAT's why this First Order thing exists and has so much similarity to the Empire. Also, who has Vader's helmet? That doesn't look like Resistance headquarters.

Kylo Ren! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO POE???? Are you force-choking him?! Are you trying to read his mind? It's something that's angering him, that's for sure.

Whoa whoa whoa... Is that new Death Star-ish thingy on the poster destroying a planet?

"Those stories about what happened..."
"It's true... all of it. The dark side... the Jedi... they're real."
I guess 30 years is enough time for the Jedi to become just a big legend. Does this mean, along with him not being on the poster, that Luke at some point went into exile instead of starting a new legion of Jedi? WHAT???

Also, that hologram. What are you doing with it? There are planets on it, so I'm guessing you're looking for a planet to travel to.

HYPERSPACE!!!! I guess they're going from Jakku to that... forest planet.

Those Stormtroopers are in metal ruins. Did they destroy the Resistance base on the forest planet?

What is that place that Finn, Han Solo and BB-8 are walking into? Looks very decorated, looks very old. Also, where have I seen that strange-looking droid before? Oh yeah, it was a Separatist security droid from the Clone Wars movie! What is it doing here?

What is Rey dunking her head in? And why is she sad? Uh... did somebody die?

Why are Han, Chewie and Finn getting their heads out of their shoulders? Were they taken prisoner briefly?

Apparently, BB-8 becomes Poe's droid... Well, I already knew that, with the LEGO set Poe's X-Wing Fighter. But why?

Rey uses a gun?

FINN IS A JEDI, AND FIGHTS KYLO REN?????????????? I already knew about the Jedi part from the posters. Well, good luck with the duel. Kylo Ren seems to be a bit too worthy for an opponent.

"The Force... It's calling to you......................... just let it in."
Wait a minute... I didn't know midichlorians could enter a life-form by "calling to you" and you "just letting it in"!

Well, this movie is gonna be awesome. I hope nobody gets their hopes way too high, as with Phantom Menace as the majority hates this movie. It's kinda like Nintendo's E3 2015 conference. Everyone got their hopes up. Well, see you next post!


...whenever that is.

Nintendo's E3 2015 Plans Revealed!

So yesterday Nintendo revealed their E3 plans on a video that had a hilarious ending. Here's the video.

Alright, now for my thoughts on it.
Another Digital Event, huh? That's fine! I'm okay with staying at home and filming a reaction video to post on Youtube! This'll be on June 16th, on 9 am PT.

Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3, huh? I only watch small clips of it, so it's not much to me. This'll be from June 16-18.

Next we have Nintendo Access: Mario Maker @ Best Buy! I don't think I'll be going, considering the long line at last year's Smash Fest. Alright, I don't think as many people are hyped for Mario Maker as they were for Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U. But Smash is 4-player, and Mario Maker is 1. And it's possible that every session will be longer than a match of Smash, so maybe the wait will be as long. This'll be on June 17 and 20.

And I saved the best for last. The Nintendo World Championship is back! After 25 years! That's awesome! I wish I could compete, but we'd have to go all the way to Los Angeles, California to do it. I'll watch it on a live stream, though! You have to qualify somewhere on May 30th, but we don't know where just yet.

 Well, see you in a week or two! (or three or four... I don't post on here that frequently anymore... I should!)

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens New Teaser!

Guess what, guys? A new trailer for The Force Awakens just came out! It's still another teaser, but it still gives us hype! If you haven't watched it yet, DON'T LOOK AT BELOW THE VIDEO UNTIL YOU WATCH IT!!!

So let's analyze it now. First, we see Tatooine with a crashed X-Wing and a Star Destroyer. First I was like "So Luke died?" But then it showed Luke saying "The Force is strong in my family... ....my father has it" and it showed a deteriorated Darth Vader mask. So he's still alive. The next highlight is two new characters, One with a Jedi robe and a weird staff. Who are these people? Next is what looks to be the new Sith Lord villan, with his awesome Lightsaber. He looks like he has a strange looking mask with a metallic headband. Menacing! Then, we get a more detailed look at the new Stormtroopers. That looks pretty cool! Then, we get a look at the new Tie Fighters with their inverted colors. Next, there's a black Stormtrooper with a cape and different gun. How important could he be? Then, we see that astromech on a soccer ball again. Then we see the two characters, one holding her hand to the other. Could this be a love relationship? And the last highlight. We hear a voice, saying "Chewie... were home." And it turns out, it's an elderly Han Solo! Where could Han Solo's home be? Kasshyk, the Wookie planet? Who knows?

This trailer got me really hyped. Can't wait to see it in December! This is gonna be awesome! Well, see you next post!

New Inside Out Trailer!

(Sorry for the LOOOOONG absence from my blog.) Guess what? They released a new trailer for the new Inside Out movie! So now I get what the plot is about! The movie looks fun, cartoony and silly! Can't wait to see this movie! So, enjoy!

LOL Brain freeze. I wouldn't be able to think if that actually happened.
Sorry about the shortness. This post was rushed... :P

Story Shmory, a Game that my Sister Made Up!

So recently my sister made up a new game. (though I made up the name) And it's fun! So how do you play it? First, you need an even amount of people. (2, 4, 6, 8, etc) (although we usually have 2) Next, you need a piece of paper and a pencil for each player. Now on to how exactly do you play it. First, each player writes down a set of words, usually 5-10. (it can be any word, even proper nouns!) Next, the players swap papers. Then each player writes down a story based on the words that are written down by another player. After every player is finished, they tell their stories to everyone. When we do it, they're usually pretty funny! Oh, did you not understand that completely? Here's an example that we filmed.

 

So yeah. Story Shmory is a fun game. See you next week!

Chistmas 2014!

Hey guys! Wondering how our family's Christmas went? Well, let's go! So, during the early morning, we opened up most of the gifts.
So I got a Shammy sweater,

a coat,

 An NLT Bible,

A 3rd party Wii U Pro Controller,

A Pikachu Amiibo figurine, (more info about that in next post)

A watch,

And a couple of gift cards, one for Nintendo eShop, ($10) and one for GameStop! ($20)

So with the $10 Nintendo eShop gift card, I got a couple of classic NES games, including:
Mega Man II, a game where you're a super fighting robot battling other robots and gaining their powers,

and Duck Hunt, a game where you are a... Use your best guess.

 

And the GameStop gift card... Well you'll find out on next post!

So an hour or so later Charles and Andrew came over! And then we opened stockings. 

I got an adorable Pikachu plush doll,

 A yummy Slim Jim, some yummy Junior Mints, Hot Tamales, Lemonheads and cinnamon gum,

  a pack of batteries,

 

And.... a giant thing of cayenne pepper! LOL 

And then came the gift exchange. No, not a Yankee Swap, but around the beginning of the Christmas season, we picked names out of a hat. These names are the names of who in the family we're giving to. And I got mom. So I gave her some slipper socks and a cranberry mint candle! Sophie got me, and she gave me.... BALDERDASH! My favorite board game of all time!

And Charles brought a gift for me and Sophie.... A Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck!

So next, mom, dad, Charles and Andrew did something me and Sophie planned for the last week... A treasure hunt! Except this one is different. Sophie saw some videos of what Andrew did a couple of years ago, and she wanted to do the same thing. A word hunt with video clues! Here's one video that we recorded.

So for a while we had fun doing things like playing Nintendo Land together. And then we had dinner of ham and mashed potatoes.

And then we all played Balderdash. It's a board game where............. Oh, look it up. You're done? OK! So there were some hilarious moments, like when I wrote a movie description based on the title Girls on the Loose and it ended up sounding like "A couple of women break out of jail and go undercover as Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga." and Sophie wrote an acronym description of GIMPY, which came out as "Geletain in my pants. Yuck!" LOL!
Here are some pics mom took.

To end this post off, I'm gonna show you something hilarious!
Hope you had a merry Christmas! Wait... For me, it's not over yet! Tomorrow, they're coming over again! And Isaiah and Grammie and Grandpa are coming, too! I'll post about it in a couple of days!

New Trailer for Pixar's Upcoming Inside Out Movie!

(Sorry this is 5 days late. I didn't know about this until today) So 5 days ago, Pixar revealed a (Ditto the title of this post) So, a month and a half ago, they gave us a teaser for this, but it didn't reveal much about what this will be like. Well, here's the new trailer.



Well... This movie looks interesting and funny! So, when this was announced, I thought it was weird looking, and I didn't have much interest in it. Well, now I'm excited to see this movie!

New Zelda Wii U Footage!

(Sorry this is a few days late :P) So at this year's E3, we got a trailer for the long-awaited Zelda Wii U game! (Yeah, yeah, there was Wind Waker HD, but that's a remake, and yeah, there was Hyrule Warriors, but that's a spinoff) And before that trailer, Eiji Aonuma (director) said that this new game was going to be an open world, and you could traverse the dungeons in any order! I heard this sounds like a Zelda Skyrim! But the trailer didn't give us much gameplay. Well, a few days ago, we got some gameplay footage! Here it is!


And if you want to see it up closer, here it is closer


 Awesome, huh? Well let's break it down! So first, it looks pretty detailed, and it looks like it keeps most gameplay elements of the usual Zelda, but they added some great new ones, like you don't have to control the horse Epona when she takes you to the destination you want! That's pretty convenient! And next, you can jump off of Epona when enemies are nearby and be in midair slow-motion to shoot arrows like in the trailer! I think that is the coolest part. Well, I can't wait 'til this game comes out. It looks like it's going to be awesome.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer!

Yesterday, we finally got a glimpse of the new Star Wars movie. We've all been waiting for this teaser, and it was HYPE! I heard it was not as much hype as the Phantom Menace trailer, but it was hype. If you haven't seen it, here it is.



Wasn't that awesome? Let's get to some key parts. There's a new droid! I don't think we've ever seen a droid like that. Then we get to see the new Stormtroopers.... They look true to the original but with a little makeover. Then we get a girl riding on a speeder. As IGN suggested, could this be the daughter of Han Solo and Leia? Then we get some Rebels in X-Wings. We know those are coming back now! Then we get what I think is the coolest looking lightsaber ever. They now look more like swords! And then, we get the Millennium Falcon! We know that the classic characters will not be in the movie, but now we know the same one ship will be handed down. How old is that anyway?

Well, we got an awesome trailer, leaving us hungry for more. I can't wait to see it in theaters and I really hope Disney does a good job on this movie.
