Once again, we find ourselves celebrating a huge milestone in the world of media. In this case, it's the 25th anniversary of one of the biggest and most successful toylines of the 2000's decade. A toyline, I hear you ask? Which one? We're getting to that, readers. 2026 marks 25 years since this toyline graced toy shelves and began a whole legion of toy collectors, be they kids or adults, and is still celebrated for its achievements to this day. That toyline...is BIONICLE. Rel

Now we're in for quite an interesting review for this post! It's been quite some time since we've had a new piece of Avatar: The Last Airbender media, especially in the realm of animation. After The Legend of Korra concluded, we've not had any other animated shows or films from the franchise since then, though we DO have Avatar: Seven Havens coming up later this year. For now, we've got this brand new movie starring the original cast again and set sometime after the old show,

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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
