Certainly been a while since we've had a He-Man movie, hasn't it? In fact, I think this is the first He-Man movie we've had since the infamous 1987 film! When you're a media enthusiast like I am, chances are you'll at least be familiar with the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe franchise. Created by Mattel, the same toy company behind Barbie and the current owners of the Thomas the Tank Engine franchise, He-Man is up there with Transformers as one of the biggest toy bran

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: Oh? Well would you look at that everybody were back with another Doctor Who essay! Teddy: Yeah…okay, last post got up to (looks) nineteen views!? Well that’s amazing! Freddy: Well Ncuti rectified his viewing figures to twelve people, so I guess that’s a win. Teddy: It must be! Well, I wonder if this will garner more viewing figures? Well let’s see if we can, mates! It’s me, the Wandering Fox and yes I’m here to do another essay and this ti

Transformers is awesome, especially when it comes to video games. When it comes to Transformers media, there's a lot to enjoy about it from the toys to the cartoons to the comics and in this case, video games. For the most part, Transformers has a pretty good track record when it comes to video games with the 2004 Transformers Armada video game and 2015's Transformers: Devastation receiving high praise from fans and critics alike and the games based on the live-action movies

Freddy: Okay, this is gonna get less viewers than Gatwa’s whole run on Doctor Who. Teddy: Yeah but hey let him get his feelings out there. Freddy: Yeah fair enough. He looks happy. Teddy: Well I don’t think I can be angry at him, after seeing what went on with Doctor Who I’d be happy about this as well. Yep I am! You know what this means? More audios to get, more McGann! Come this weekend I’m gonna spoil myself with the food! I’m gonna be dancing at the next place I’ll be goi

And here we are folks, probably one of the most unusual pieces of media I'll be talking about this year. For the first time since The Rise of Skywalker, we now have another Star Wars movie releasing in cinemas...but it's not a brand new saga or anything. Nope, it's another spin-off movie in a similar vein to Rouge One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story. And it's a spin-off starring everyone's favourite badass-and-child duo to date: Din Djarin and Grogu. When it co

ft. The Wandering Fox Whew....that was quite a retrospective. For the past few weeks, I went over Sonic the Hedgehog comics I once read and (used) to enjoy. As you know, I don't look at those comics very favourably anymore. Upon re-evaluation of the issues for said retrospective, I found a myriad of problems I either never noticed or chose to ignore because I was a blind fanboy who didn't know any better. Now looking through the eyes of a critic, the flaws are that much more

I noticed my previous posts about Transformers toys seemed to attract a lot of attention. Seriously, both posts got quite a lot of views! So I thought I'd do another post about my TF toys again. This time around, I'm listing my Top 10 Favourite Transformers figures from the Studio Series line. Beginning in 2018, the Studio Series line has become one of Hasbro's most popular and successful lines of Transformers toys. True to its name, the Studio Series line is focused on produ

Written by Jacob Coad I thought I’d bring up an old memory, and it’s related to one of my favorite places in the world, as well as one of my favorite people in the world; and that is a short film that was only shown in the Disney Parks, made by the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. The History of Captain EO In the 1980’s Michael Jackson was at the peak of his popularity, especially around this time when he worked up the courage to set out on his own from the Jackson 5, an

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 here. Here we are ladies and gentlemen, the conclusion of A Way Past Cool Retrospective. After the atrocity that was Mecha Sally, we can only go up from here, right? Sadly...no, no we're not. When it came to the reboot era, I tried to give it a chance, but it just didn't work out for me in the end. The old universe, the one I got into in the first place, was gone and the story I had been invested in was never getting a conclus

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: At last he’s doing a non Doctor Who essay. Teddy: Maybe he’s gonna get more views on this? Freddy: Well we’ll see once this goes up. That we shall guys. Hello it is me, The Wandering Fox. You can look at the title and assume instantly what I’m talking of but let me give you some extra context. Sonic the Hedgehog has been going for up to thirty five years (well next month) and in those years we’ve had hundreds of characters come along to th

This story takes place five years before the first book, Ruby Silverlock: Supernatural Explorer The Silverlock family was in for a big change. This big change came about when one day, Ruby Silverlock and her sisters Emerald and Sapphire came home from school. Annie had been home all day as usual while her husband Michael was at work. He wasn’t due home until about 5 o’clock, about an hour and a half later than when the girls came home from school. Annie had been quietly rea

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 here. Welcome back to A Way Past Cool Retrospective everybody! It's been a wild ride so far, but now we're getting into the most infamous era of the comic. The era that ultimately killed Archie Sonic going forward. What do I mean by that? You'll see as in this part we cover the Mecha Sally saga, the Endangered Species Arc, and the infamous lawsuit that doomed the comic and led to the reboot era. (sighs heavily) This is going to be pa

Written by The Wandering Fox Teddy: I think McGann was right. Freddy: About what? Teddy: About Wandering Fox being a zealot! Freddy: Well he was joking. Teddy: I know that’s Paul’s humour, but I think he was right! This guy doesn’t stop banging on about the Eighth Doctor! I’m surprised the Media Man hadn’t stuck a clamp on his mouth! Freddy: Oh come on, if it’s something he loves he should get to say it. Besides, he hasn’t just got the Eighth Doctor to talk about! He’s gonna

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 here. Last time we saw the fall of Dr. Eggman, the rise of Snively, the formation of the Iron Dominion and the fall of said dominion. As of now, things are unsettled in New Mobotropolis thanks to Nicole being corrupted, Eggman's back in charge and Sonic and Sally are a couple again. So how does this next batch of issues turn out? Let's dive in, and I'm covering quite a lot of them today. We're going over issues which introduced more chapters

We've had quite a lot of Star Wars spin-off shows ever since Disney took over the franchise, haven't we? Even before Disney took over, we had at least two different shows that covered the Clone Wars and after Disney bought Star Wars, we've had shows of all kinds focusing on so many aspects of this enormous franchise and introducing all kinds of new characters while bringing back old favourites. From Rebels to The Mandalorian to The Book of Boba Fett to the Tales of series and

Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3 here. Now we're getting into some really big issues! This part will be the most interesting for me to cover of any part of this retrospective. Why? Because we're entering the period where we got the fall of Dr. Eggman and the rise of the Iron Dominion. During my days as a fan of Archie Sonic, the Iron Dominion saga was genuinely my favourite period of the comic. Yes really. This arc that is infamous for being padded out and full of characters catc

Hey everybody, it's that time of year again, another review of a new season of Pokémon Horizons. Hoo boy, what a ride it's been, am I right? It still feels like yesterday when me and many other fans were watching the very first episode and getting a taste on what a post-Ash Pokémon anime was going to be like. Too bad it was one of those shows that had such a strong start and then failed to live up to said strong start. As a recap on what I think of the series thus far, Season

Special thanks to Jake Gleason whose support on Patreon got him this post. Happy Star Wars Day everybody! It's that time of year again, and one of my Patrons had a great idea for how I could celebrate the occasion. What better way to celebrate Star Wars day than to do a list counting down ten of my favourite heroes from the franchise? Star Wars is known for its vast galaxy full of characters and as much as we love the villains, their heroes are equally as iconic and memorable

Part 1 and Part 2 here. Welcome back to A Way Past Cool Retrospective everybody! I hope you're enjoying it so far and are ready for more as we go into Part 3. For this part, I'm covering Enerjak Reborn, the Mammoth Mogul saga and the Bold New Moebius saga. That's a lot of issues to cover, so let's just get right into it! Oh and if you feel I've been too negative towards the comic so far, rest assured, I'm going to be a little more positive this time around as I feel these are

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: This is quite a surprise, didn’t think he’d try this for the blog. Teddy: Well you gotta give it to him, he has his ideas. And I only hope this idea works out. I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t get many views but hey, I wanted to share it. Hey everybody it’s me, the Wandering Fox, and as you can see by the title I thought of this. Sonic the Hedgehog and Doctor Who. Can such a crossover work? Well we kinda did have it already. No Sonic, th
