Media Essays: Pokémon Horizons Rewrite (Part 4)
Parts 1, 2 and 3 here. And here we are folks, the final part of this huge rewrite of Pokémon Horizons. I can't begin to tell you how fun it's been taking the original series and giving it a change for the better. Now for this part, we give Horizons the conclusion it deserves by making Season 6 entirely about Blueberry Academy and ditching Season 7's original premise entirely so we can instead making Season 7 all about wrapping up the Laqua storyline. So without further ado, l

Media Essays: Pokémon Horizons Rewrite (Part 3)
Parts 1 and 2 here. And so here we are ladies and gentlemen, Part 3 of my Pokémon Horizons rewrite. The previous four seasons were easy enough as I stuck mostly to what came before while making changes when appropriate. But for this part, I'm more or less rewriting everything from the ground up while keeping very little of the original seasons. The time-skip era of Horizons is when the show really jumped the Sharpedo and just felt directionless with no sense of what the story

Media Essays: My Relationship With MAWS
Written by The Wandering Fox Teddy: Do you think people will get it? Freddy: Well knowing the Media Man he’ll stick a poster of My Adventures with Superman on there so it will help. Teddy: Yeah, otherwise it’s a long title, My Relationship with My Adventures with Superman is a bit much to say or read. Freddy: Still, it’ll be interesting to see what our wandering friend has to say. That it will be! As a fan of Superman I have got quite the oddest relationship with MAWS. Yes, r

Part 1 here. For this part, we rewrite Seasons 3 and 4 and see how things will play out in this new version of Pokémon Horizons. Let's dive in! Season 3: Terastal Debut Here we are, my most hated season of the series and DEFINITELY one that's in need of a rewrite! In fact, as you know I already did rewrite it, but now I have to rewrite it all over again so it fits this version of Horizons. Talk about rewrite-ception.

Media Essays: An Alternative Wonder Woman Sequel
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy was scarfing down some cocktail sausages that he was given while Teddy chuckled away. Teddy: Celebrating? Freddy: Mmmm mmmm! Yup! About time he started talking about something else so this calls for a celebration! Teddy: Heh, I bet you can stuff up to dozens of them in your mouth! Freddy: You bet I can! I bet he could. Teddy, before I begin, here’s some nice fish for you. Teddy happily took the fish sticks from me and munched away on them.

Media Essays: Pokémon Horizons Rewrite (Part 1)
Hey, remember that time I did a rewrite of Pokémon Horizons Season 3? Well now this time, I'm going even further by doing a full rewrite of the entire series. Why? Because the show has been such a frustrating roller-coaster of quality where it gives us one good season, then follows up with two bad ones, is choc full of asinine writing decisions and missed opportunities that I feel this thing deserves a full-blown rewrite, not just Season 3 at this point. It's such a shame bec

Media Essays: A Princess's Retrospective (Part 2)
Written by TCH2 Continued from Part 1. Character Rerailment: When Ian Flynn became head writer of the Sonic comics, he set upon repairing the damage Penders had wrought. While I do concede that he is not the most spectacular writer out there, and has made mistakes regarding characters and concepts and executions, I still appreciate that he tried to tell good stories. Notably, he had Sally continue to participate in active missions, and, in Issue 173, she confides in Bunnie he

Media Essay: A Princess's Retrospective (Part 1)
Written by TCH2 Greetings and salutations, friends and readers and fans! I am Thomas Holmes, your friendly Mobian bard! 35 years... 35 years and Sonic the Hedgehog remains as cool as he ever was! And since this is the Blue Blur's Coral Anniversary (yes, that's the official term), I felt I would take the opportunity to talk about my favourite Sonic character... Other than Sonic himself, I mean. That's the one! Yep, Princess Sally Acorn is my favourite Sonic character, besides

The Media Man Reviews: Toy Story 5
Ever since this was announced, I kept asking myself one important question: WHY DOES THIS NEED TO EXIST?!?! I'm asking a serious question here! Why does a fifth Toy Story movie exist?! Why did it need to exist? And don't you dare tell me "Because the Toy Story movies make a lot of money!" because shut up. Just because they make a lot of money, that's no excuse to make unnecessary sequels we don't need. Outside of the money, name me one single, solid reason why we need a fifth
