Rogues Division is about a team of super powered people, brought together to stop other powered people. Basic superhero kind of idea. But why are people starting to have these powers? And what are the motives behind creating Rogues Division?

Here is a spec pilot I wrote a while back for a series called Modern Legends.

When talking about anime pilots so far, I have been sticking with the Shonen genre (with Fairy Tail and My Hero Academia). So, this time I wanted I switch it up a little and talk about an Isekai. More specifically, a video game Isekai, which feels like its own subgenre at this point.

Earlier this year I replayed Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (2015) live on stream with one particular question in mind: How bi is Jacob Frye?

Even a non-premise pilot is a pilot. And while it wants to be like any other episode, it still has work to do setting up the series. How does one balance these two seemingly contradictory choices?

In a series all about playing games, primarily Duel Monsters (the in-universe name of the YuGiOh card game), what’s purpose of this unbeatable monster showing up so early?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe currently consists of 29 movies and 6 Disney+ original series (and this isn’t touching on all the shows that are borderline canon). Needless to say, they’ve covered a lot of ground, and brought in a lot of characters. But there are always more…

Emotional power tropes can be subcategorized into at least three more specific kinds of tropes. These include, but at not limited to, any literalization of emotions equalling power, the power of friendship, and kindness or empathy leading to power.

What do the Miles and Mary Jane missions really add to Marvel’s Spider-Man? Well, quite a bit.

With this first collection of movies and series, there are a few patterns starting to pop up. I’ve already written about these patterns in one sense, talking about the theme that could be connecting the entire phase, but now I want to take some time looking at what hints are being dropped for future MCU projects going into Phase 5, or beyond.

What began with cable, and has become common place with the rise of streaming services, is the type of show that has no commercials breaks. If network shows are built around mini climaxes to keep people engaged enough to come back after commercials, how are streaming shows done?

The first part was primarily focused on the digidestined themselves and the expanding lore of the series, but this one is going to be more about the villains and themes that this arc gets into.

Not long ago I wrote about the themes that act as connective tissue between the movies of the first three phases of the MCU, so, after seeing the first two series, I thought it would be fun to guess at what could be this phase’s theme.

The first of two posts diving deep into the Oikawa arc of Digimon Adventure 02. This one is focusing on the digidestined and ways in which this series expands on the lore.

With the entirety of the World of Assassination trilogy having been out for a few months now, I have decided that it would be fun to rank all the levels in the main campaign.

It is because of their anime-only status that some fans look down on these episodes as less worthy, or even non-canonical. But, they do have their place. It may a place that comes out necessity, that doesn’t make them inherently bad.

It has been commented in various ways before that DC’s superheroes are closer to being gods, and Marvel’s are closer to humans. There are examples in both that can prove that this isn’t universally the case, but never has the concept of the Justice League as a pantheon held more weight than in Zack Snyder’s take on the characters.

It’s time to return to the Digital World for another deep dive into the series, this time looking at Digimon Adventure 02 (2000).

We know that mutants are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe eventually. And, well, they come with their own unique complications. Here are four storylines from the comics that could act as inspiration for how mutants and the X-Men can be brought in.

A deep dive into the “How the Mighty Fall” mission story in Hitman 3’s Dubai level to see how it functions as a subtle tutorial for both new players and old.

Do you ever get those days, where it’s the middle of Winter, and all you want to do is curl up into a ball and roll around on the ice? No? Well, at least there’s Spheal, they understand what I’m saying.

This week is going to be a bit of a different kind of post. Rather than going deep into a particular subject, this is going to be a few smaller sections about things that don’t feel like they are enough to make a up a full post on their own.

There is a lot to love about Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, but it is one that is impossible to talk about without calling particular attention to its fifth episode, “A Dark Quiet Death”.

Fairy Tail is an incredibly expansive series. The core group that we follow consists of seven characters, with the entire Fairy Tail guild playing important parts throughout. By the end, it becomes a story that spans not only two continents, but centuries of time. So, how do you start something like that? Well, you keep it simple.

The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis is a theory that has existed and grown over decades. The basic concept boils down to the idea that a huge number television shows belong to a single connected universe, and that universe exists in the mind of a child, Tommy Westphall.

Here is my definitive list of the player types that I have noticed on a Minecraft Realm.

The New Mutants is a movie that mixes genres in a way that should have felt really interesting and fresh, but instead ends up feeling incredibly disjointed. Let’s take a look at one big reason why.

Given that we are currently hitting the apex of the holiday season, our first ever Dex Dive will be spent looking into the most Christmasy Pokemon of all, Delibird.

This will compile just about everything we currently know for every upcoming MCU project, looking at both the movies and Disney+ series.

Veronica Mars is a case where each one of the four plots is unquestionably about its title character. Not only that, but they intersect repeatedly throughout, to the point that it becomes difficult at times to narrow down what a scenes purpose is. This isn’t a bad thing; it’s like a complex braid, each strand wrapping together to create a more interesting, stronger whole.
