Media Essays: The Career of Dominator 2
Whenever you think of great robots, the most common ones that come to mind will usually be armed with flippers, lifters, spinners or crushers. But if there's one kind of robot that tends to get overlooked, it's axe bots. Robots armed with axes aren't always the most popular machines out there, and with today's version of robot combat, it's very rare you'll even see a robot armed with an axe since axes just don't seem as effective as they used to be. That was a whole different

Media Essays: My Adventures With Superman Rewrite Part 3
Written by The Wandering Fox Continued from Part 2. Season 2 follows a similar pattern albeit we don’t get Lois doubting her relationship with Clark. What allows Superman to be captured is because while covering Hank Henshaw’s shuttle takeoff he has to stop it from blowing up, which in turn leaves him to be ambushed by Supergirl who chastises him for helping the very planet that hates him. Episode 1 mostly is the same, only Hank is working for Lex for his space programme and

Media Essays: My Adventures With Superman Rewrite Part 2
Written by The Wandering Fox Supporting Cast Ron Troupe Ron is a guy here as he is supposed to be. He’s a more reasonable reporter compared to the big and larger than life Cat and Steve, but still has a spine when it comes to tackling issues such as bigotry and stands up for Superman when Luthor tries to paint him as a untrustworthy alien. Ron helps Lucy settle into the Daily Planet with them both falling in love and Lucy confesses to him the truth of why she’s here, with Ron

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: Didn’t wait long did he? Teddy: Well now that Season 3 is done with he can make a start on it. Freddy: I wonder if we should let everybody know now this isn’t a hate piece? Teddy: They should know it’s not, they only got to look at his thoughts on MAWS. He doesn’t hate it. He doesn’t love it either. Freddy: Ugh you know what people are like on the internet, they don’t bother reading past the first few words. Teddy: I hope they read this be

Media Essays: Ash vs. Sawyer: How Good Was It?
After the atrocity that was Ash vs. Cameron last week, THIS is a battle actually worth covering and talking about. Unlike the previous battle, Ash vs. Sawyer is actually pretty beloved. It's certainly more beloved than Ash vs. Alain was, that's for sure. Hey, at least they didn't hype Ash up to win and then chicken out at the last minute. XD This one's going to be a fun analysis for me, because Ash vs. Sawyer is one of my favourite Pokémon battles in the entire anime, both in

Media Essays: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rewrite Part 2
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: You all still with us? Teddy: You better be because now we’re getting to the stories! Freddy: Will this get enough interest? Teddy: Will you leave a comment? If you do make any, make sure you are polite about whatever you say. Yes I would much welcome it if you were. Last part we looked at what was staying, going and what was new. This here is where we get to the movies. So imagine that this is the first of the trilogy we got in 2015 inste

Media Essays: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rewrite Part 1
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: Hold on. Didn’t we do this already? Teddy took a look. Teddy: Yes! He did this years ago! Back in 2023! Freddy: That’s strange. Wonder why he wants to do another rewrite? Teddy: Maybe he’s bored? Freddy: Maybe he has another idea? Teddy: Don’t know. Wandering Fox, why are you doing ANOTHER sequel trilogy rewrite? Well. Because I have been feeling a little more in a Star Wars mood. It’s been well over a decade since the sequels began and si

Media Essays: Ash vs. Cameron: How BAD Was It?
Oh boy...I'm in for a bad time with this one aren't I? Ash vs. Cameron from the Pokémon Black and White era of the anime is extremely contentious amongst the fans. It is unanimously considered Ash's most embarrassing League loss in the entire series, and even to this day is used as an example of the writers' stubborn refusal to let Ash win a league at its worst. One could argue that Ash losing to Tobias was worse since they literally just farted in a random guy with Legendary

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

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. XD So yeah, once again, it's time to rewrite Terastal Debut

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.

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

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
