 11 years, that’s how long the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going on. 22, that’s how many of the main movies there are. All this time, all this preparation, all of this calculated planing, gambling and downright prayer and has been leading up to this movie. And after a brief detour in how the strongest being in the MCU made her debut in the 90's we come back to the present day where her old pal Fury is quite literally dust in the wind and she wants to know whose ass she's gotta kick to the edge of the universe. Yes as Dr Strange said, we're at the endgame; at the end of the day we must ask the question, does it live up to the hype? In someways hell to the yeah, others however I felt were better handled in Infinity War. 

 But I can’t help but think it was by design, Infinity War being the set up for Thanos and Endgame being the big popcorn blowout finale. Now I will be doing my duty and avoiding spoilers for the major plot points of endgame. (Even ignoring that we already know that Spider-Man: Far from home is only a few months away taking away some of the gut punch that was the end of Infinity War.) I'll just say that this like Kingdom Hearts 3 and MGS4 Guns of the Patriots in that this is a sequel in every sense of the word with call backs, follow ups on previous movies and just general fun for those that have been paying attention tot he previous installments in the franchise. But I know that this review needs some meat to it so I'll merely recap the events that lead up to this movie (ignoring the continuity stuff from the T.v series and Netflix shows.) For years now Thanos the mad titan has been working behind the scenes to uncover the 6 Infinity stones, 6 objects born from the creation of the universe that each contain incredible powers.

 The Mind stone was hidden in the Scepter that was given to one of Thanos’ pawns; Loki in an attempt to conquer Earth to claim more of the stones. It was later repurposed to give life to the A.I Ultron and was in the head of the android named Vision. The Space stone was hidden in a device called the Tesseract, originally located in Asgard it was moved to Earth where it was uncovered by Johann Schmidt during World War 2 but was lost during his confrontation with Captain America, later it was eaten by Goose, puked back up, was in the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D and taken back to Asgard. The Time stone was inside of the Eye of Agamotto which was kept safe by the sorcerer supreme; Dr Stephen Strange in his sanctum in New York. The Power stone was hidden in an Orb on an ancient temple on the planet Morag, until it was uncovered by former Ravager Peter Quill. Eventually it was placed in the custody of the Nova Corp. The Reality stone (not really a stone but shut up) was kept in a sealed chamber in Asgard, but was uncovered and was given to a being called the Collector in his eponymous collection in the mining world of Knowhere. 

 The last stone, the Soul stone was enshrined on the planet of Vormir, according to its enslaved keeper  the previously mentioned Johann Schmidt, the stone could only be claimed by someone who sacrifices a loved one by tossing them off the cliff where the stone was sealed, a soul for a soul. But eventually they would all be recovered by Thanos and used to achieve his ultimate goal, kill half of all sentient life in the universe in a painless way. However the survivors were kind of pissed off at this psychopath's genocide so now they're dead set on finding him, killing him and hopefully reclaim the Infinity Gauntlet to restore his victims to life. So to recap, their plan is to track down the big purple alien who has the power of a god who previously kicked all of their asses even without the full god powers, steal the source of his powers and restore half of all life in the entire universe without being destroyed by said power.

 But that's as much plot as I feel safe to disclose. As for the technical and production aspects I feel this  once again the MCU at it's best. The CGI is still spectacular, the fights are well choreographed and what happens to the characters after Infinity War is in some parts interesting while others are hard to watch and not for the reasons you're thinking of. It's not like "oh god why did they think this was a good idea" it's more like "oh wow, how the mighty have fallen". Also definitely keep an ear out for certain references that those who even know a little bit about the comic book source material will definitely get a chuckle out of.

 I honestly wish I could say more but this is just one of those movies that you have to see. Endgame is one of those rare movies that every, and I do mean everyone is talking about, for better or worse. in layman's terms; go see Endgame you dingus'! Though be sure to come back in July. Where we not only talk about Peter Parker's school trip to Europe but we finally end Phase 3 and I give my countdown of the best and worst movies from Phase 3, from Civil War to Far from home.

 Sorry guys, another week without a stream. Mostly due to the subs taking a bit longer to get out as well as me taking some time to process the events of Avengers Endgame and play Kingdom Hearts 3 on Critical mode. So yeah I'll start my stream of Spider-Man on PS4 if only to start the count down to Far From Home. As for the took this week Zi-O wraps up the Agito arc before the last episode of the Heisei era where Shirakura reminds us all of his blatant contempt for Kamen Rider and the fanbase. Beast Morphers has a non moral story where Devon and Ravi come across as tools and Ryusoulger blows its load too early.

 There comes a time, where a man's moral code does not hold up to the horrors of realty. In order to save his new town, friends and family from the traitor Princess Kenny the New Kid must do the unthinkable, he must fart on his balls. So not only did he do it, but he also did it with Dire Aids, in his girls disguise while having the face of David Hasselhoff. This game is a little bit crazy in case you couldn't tell. Can't wait to see how messed up the Fractured But Whole gets.

Manga Review: Madoka Magica Homura's Revenge Volume 1 Part 1: Room for one more?

When you're done read, comment, spread the links, re-tweet and follow me on Twitter @OnDavidsBrain!, support me on Patreon and watch my Twitch Channel Every Saturday at 12:00 ET

 Well apparently this is finally happening, with this and this mobile game getting an anime adaptation I think it's time for me to get serious about covering the spin-off mangas again. Especially considering that some of the characters introduced in these books; including Kazumi, Oriko, Yuma etc are involved in this game I figure that I need to get back to work. While this series doesn't feature any new characters it does ask a question that most fans have been asking once they learned about Homura's time travel powers. "What if Homura took Madoka back in time with her before she made the contract?" This story attempts to answer that but honestly kind of stumbles with the response. 

 We open with the familiar scene of Homura getting her ass kicked by Walpurgisnacht when Madoka says that she's going to make her wish. But this time Homura has a revelation, so she grabs Madoka for a hug and takes her with her back through time. 

"The f**k just happened?!"

 Homura wakes up in the usual hospital room and thinks to herself why she did what she did.

So you didn't even know it would work?! DUMBASS!!! It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Madoka accidentally let go, got stranded in the feudal era and had to hitch a ride back with the Dende-damned Ninja Turtles, gold star thinking right here.

 But thankfully Madoka was still in school when Homura came inside the class and best of all her theory worked! 

Insert FF victory Fanfare music here, you can choose which one you want.

 The two bolt for the nurses office and along the way Homura starts to chew Madoka out for nearly making the wish, but Madoka suggests that with her future knowledge she can help Homura save Mami, Kyoko and Sayaka.

"Hey Madoka how many fingers am I holding up? That's the exact amount of craps I give about these two, ya dingus."

 But since Madoka has her future knowledge she can back up Homura's arguments to the three to help keep them alive; she figures that it could work and agrees. Later on Madoka and Sayaka head for the music store and she waits for Kyubey's telepathic plea for help. She does hear him but he catches her off guard by telling her to meet him where they first met. So she heads to the construction area where Kyubey and Homura are waiting for her. He explains that when Homura took Madoka back through time Kyubey managed to grab on and so he retained his memories of the last time line too. 

 Kyubey says that he's all for their plan of changing the future but the two aren't stupid and dispute his crap; but they do still need the proper events to play out before they can be changed so Homura knows exactly what to do next.

"Did you just spin kick him? I know right, I always wanted to do that. Please don't do it again. My body, my rules!"

 Right on cue Sayaka shows up, uses the fire extinguisher on Homura, they end up in Gertrude's Labyrinth and get attacked by the most iconic familiars in the franchise aka the demon mustaches!

 Madoka knows the drill they get attacked, Mami saves them, brings them into the Magical Girl training course blah blah blah. She saves them and the first chapter ends with Kyubey swearing to make Madoka into a magical girl this time. Chapter 2 starts with Mami about to transform but not before Madoka jumps to give her a big big hug. After the familiars are dealt with Homura asks if Mami's all right. But Mami quite blatantly tries to play it cool, essentially "nope nope it's all good here everything's under control here, now; how're you?"

Till next time Batman Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

 Afterwords Madoka tells Homura that events played out pretty much like before except that Kyubey covered for Madoka's slip of the tongue as an attempt for the two to trust him, but they're still not buying it. While Madoka gushes over seeing Mami in action again with hindsight Homura brings the mood down by reminding her that when she fights Charlotte at the hospital she's doomed. While Madoka does suggest keeping Mami from fighting it Homura reminds her that unless the witch is dealt with the hospital will become her buffet table. So she plans on beating Mami to the punch to save her from the witch, but there is a tiny, tiny white problem. THEY DISCUSS THIS PLAN WITH THE WHITE DEMON RAT RIGHT BEHIND THEM!!! 

 So of course on the next day when the Grief Seed is ready to hatch Mami shows up almost instantly to follow Sayaka into the Labyrinth. Because a little white rat told her where it would be, and more as showcased when she tries to use her ribbon lock trick on Homura.

What?! How can she move within the frozen time?!

 Mami then engages Homura and manages to overpower her with another trick she stole from another hero. 

"Dai Kaigan, Nobunaga, Omega Drive!"

 She manages to jam Homura's shield with her ribbon bullets and lock her up as usual. 

Laugh it up fuzz ball. Wait a minute if Incubators don't have emotions don't you all think him being so prideful is more than a tad odd?

 Kyubey tells Mami to finish Homura off but of course she won't and brushes it off. But when Homura tries to warn her she just walks off with Madoka. Even when Madoka tries to tell Mami her ego is so inflated by Kyubey and her victory against Homura she refuses to listen.

She's so freaking dead.

 So chapter 2 ends with Mami and Madoka making it to Sayaka, Charlotte appears and Madoka swearing to herself that she'll save Mami no matter what. Chapter 3 opens with Mami fighting Charlotte and going as usual, while that's going on Homura struggles to break free when Kyubey comes around to gloat some more. He says that he's here to free Homura so she can save Mami. Homura of course asks why the hell he would, he responds that with Mami dead her overall goal would be far more difficult. So she drops a hunting knife from her hammer-space shield so he can cut her down.

Gee, it's almost as if Kyubey was an untrustworthy character or something.

 Back to the main fight it looks like Mami's about to have her head bitten off like an animal cracker. Madoka however, dives towards Mami and saves her. She creates a barrier around Sayaka and Madoka and goes after Charlotte again with a clear mind and no distractions. She notices the regeneration trick so she forces Charlottes' mouth open and teaches it a very important lesson. That, no matter what time line, universe or bra size there is always one constant.

 That's when Homura and Kyubey arrive (Homura says a normal knife wouldn't be enough to kill her but he still could have just climbed up and broke your Soul Gem dumbass!) But that gives Charlotte the opportunity it needed to kill Mami. And Homura couldn't have stopped time to get her out of the way because? Oh right this now an idiot plot never mind. So our chapter ends with Homura killing Charlotte, taking her Grief Seed and telling Sayaka that it only belongs to Magical Girls.

Gee, its almost as if this whole situation could have been prevented if if you stopped time to survey the situation instead of barging in and potentially distracting Mami OH WAIT!! And yes I will ride your ass on this, Phrasing!

 So those were the first 3 chapters of Homura's revenge. For those who don't want to have the rest of the story spoiled here's my overall thoughts. The artwork is pretty damn good, there's much more attention to detail in the backgrounds this time with the artist managing to replicate the looks of the witches and Labyrinths pretty well. The humans also look cute and distinctive; looking pretty close to their anime depictions though with a different design for the eyes. I'm not sure what it is maybe they're just more expressive or the faces are slightly different but it is pretty damn close.

 The story however is where it has its faults. For those who've read this; the first two chapters are more leaning towards this being a comedy. But right when chapter 3 comes around the tone changes with a rather distinctive clunk. With that change the characters actions will have to be put under more scrutiny. As such almost everyone is acting like an idiot, specifically Homura, she Madoka and Kyubey know what will happen in a months time yet she openly discusses her plans with Madoka right in front of the creature trying to undermine her plans. Like I said before this has become an idiot plot and it only gets worse from here.

 Sorry that there's no stream this week. I just needed a break after the Mega Man X series as well as planing on what game I'll do next. But we still have the Toku V-log for the week so there's that at least. As usual Zi-o just doesn't seem to care while Beast Morphers and Ryusoulger are still making progress. Hopefully they can keep it up while Zi-O, just exists, just about the one thing it seems to do right.

 The last leg of my epic journey begins as we make way to the 16-bit land of Canada. After harnessing the power of Nagasaki from the Grand Sages Terrence and Philip and contracting Dire Aids I finally learn the secret of the text from the abortion clinic. When they finally learn what they want to know the Girls finally decide to join my cause. So thus it came to pass, an alliance of Elves, Humans and Girls joined in camaraderie against the dark lord Clyde and his army of Demons and Nazi Zombies. However, recovering the Stick of Truth is not as simple as it seems, for far darker forces conspire against the New Kid.

Movie Review: Shazam: Holy Moley (Spoilers)

When you're done read, comment, spread the links, re-tweet and follow me on Twitter @OnDavidsBrain!, support me on Patreon and watch my Twitch Channel Every Saturday at 12:00 ET

 I’ve made little to no secret that I prefer the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the DCEU. But I do recognize that there have been some good movies associated with this franchise. Wonder Woman was a landmark film in various ways, from being the first successful female superhero movie to being a milestone for female directors. Though while I haven’t seen Aquaman I have heard that its reception was at least mixed to good. On top of that with James Gunn still working on Suicide Squad 2 before going back to Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 that film could turn out to be an entertaining ride too.

 Not to mention the upcoming Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie seems to be just the thing to get the taste of Jared Leto out of everyone’s mouth. Overall it seems that DC is getting back on track due to shifting the tone away from Zach Snyder’s original vision after Batman V Superman became a critically panned nightmare on top of the hodgepodge mess that was Justice League after he understandably left the project after a horrible family tragedy and directing duties were left to Joss Whedon. Now let me be clear, what happened to Mr Snyder and his family was indeed a horrible, terrible tragedy and I’m not saying that the circumstances behind his departure were in anyway a good thing. But the fact is that no matter how one feels about his situation before or after said tragedy there is an undeniable shift in quality for the DCEU after he left the project.

 But that could just as easily be attributed to DC overall getting out of its edge-lord, dark and gritty 90’s relapse that was the New 52. Once the New 52 launched there was a general sense of everything attached to the DC comics line trying to be darker, more bleak and wanting to be taken seriously. But really it just came off as DC repeatedly screaming this at the top of their lungs.

 But after the Event Comic Convergence and the aforementioned departure of Mr Snyder DC seems to be going for a much more optimistic depiction of their superhero line. Which finally brings us to the topic at hand, the cinematic debut of Billy Batson, aka Captain Marvel aka Captain Thunder aka Shazam, Earth’s mightiest mortal. Yeah, copyright is more then a tad silly. But before I give my thoughts here’s Linkara with how Billy originally came to be from all the way back in the Golden Age. 

 The differences here is that Billy wasn’t out on the streets, his uncle is not only removed from this continuity but also there was no fortune he screwed Billy out of and as for Dr Sivana, well I'll get into the changes made to him later. Now the Billy in this movie isn’t exactly the big Red Boy-scout that he was pre New-52 nor is he the New-52 annoying brat with a chip on his shoulder the size of the rock of eternity. No he’s more like how you’d expect a kid with a rough background and a heart of gold to act if he got superpowers. This incarnation starts out not with Billy but the aforementioned Sivana as a young boy being tested by the wizard Shazam (played by Djimon Hounsou) to see if he’s worthy of becoming the successor. However the young Sivana is tempted by the seven deadly sins and is found not worthy, leaving a young Sivana wanting revenge. 

 Cut to present day where we find Billy (played by Asher Angel) trying to find his mother but is instead coming up with nothing but more paragraphs on his juvie sheet. He’s finally taken in by a family that’s willing to put up with him where he meets Freddy Freeman (played by Jack Dylan Grazer) who’s a fanboy of the new heroes popping up including Superman and Batman. After Billy saves Fred at school from two brats that were beating the ever-loving tar out of him he boards the subway train and is taken to Shazam who bequeathes him his powers. Not because he’s worthy but after an adult Sivana (played by Mark Strong) finds his way back, frees the seven sins to intact his revenge and kicks the old mans ass, he basically ran out of options. So now Billy can turn into an adult with the skills of several mythical figures (played by Zachary Levi) which he can switch between at will, hijinks ensue.

 If I had to make a comparison for this film it would like “Big” with superpowers. But unlike Toqger which failed in this concept almost entirely this movie seems to zig where Toqger zagged. First in that the main lead isn't an insufferable idiot that the world bends over backwards to make right when everything says he should be wrong and that when he screws up he gets called out on it. Second is that when that Billy matures as the story progresses its because of natural character development and not that the audience got sick of the leads acting like five years olds as opposed to their actual ages. Third is that unlike Zett who was forced into his position as the ultimate villain because the writer's negative view of the entire concept of rebellion; Sivana's actions are all of his own accord and through his own actions we can clearly see why he was unworthy.

 Speaking of Sivana it's time for me to get off the Toqger hate train again to talk about how he was portrayed. Apparently during the production of this movie the main villain was supposed to be Black Atom played by Dwayne Johnson. While that was put on the shelf for now there seems to be some influence of that original draft with Sivana. Normally Sivana is a mad scientist (hell he's the archetype for the trope as far as I know) but here; he has powers on par with the Big Red Cheese. I'm not saying that's a problem I just felt it a bit weird and eventually redundant since if they're going ahead with Black Adam why would they do this type of villain again?

 I mean granted here Sivana is powered by the seven sins and we already have foreshadowing of Black Adam when Shazam gives the speech to Billy but they've already done the "dark mirror" villain with Sivana here so why do it again with Black Adam? But other then that Sivana was just fine in this movie, taking a bit too much of a queue from the MCU villain handbook but he does get more backstory and screen time than most of them so it evens out. The supporting characters were decent as well, aka Billy's foster family. They get an equal amount of screen time and the acting is on point, especially for the Billy's new siblings. Save for Mary, maybe it was just me but Grace Fulton's acting seemed to be a bit wooden.

 Not terrible or anything but it felt like she needed a few more takes to get her delivery down. Also I felt that Eugene and Pedro could have used a bit more screen time but hey that's what sequels are for. Also, the final fight scene, I knew it was coming after the kids were introduced but not that soon and not as awesome as it was, bravo. Speaking of, that post credit scene, I can't wait to see not only how they pull that off but make us take something like that seriously. But all in all Shazam is another good sign that DC's movies are recovering after four controversial wastes of time, not as good as Wonder Woman but hey, it's a good start.

 You know, I do this to myself. I keep trying to give Zi-o the time of day, only to be disappointed by how much they don't care. Yet I persist in watching it, why? At least Beast Morphers and Ryusoulger are shaping up to be decent, despite some small flaws. Also on my streaming side I've completed Mega Man X8 and by proxy the two Mega Man X Legacy Collections. Regarding my thoughts on the games, well give me some time to stew and I'll come back with my list of the best and worst of the Mega Man X series (not counting Xtreme 1, 2 and Command Mission) so look forward to that.

 The role of Douchebag shall now be played by David Hasselhoff. As if his life couldn't be more insane than the climax of the Spongebob movie he now has to infiltrate an abortion clinic to help the girl's secret council of gossip bullcrap. So to do that he has to become a girl, one whose beauty will make even god weep! But because this is South Park it gets even crazier from there, by that I mean Nazi Zombie fetuses, beating up pedophiles and going on perhaps my most dangerous quest yet. To recruit the girls to my army I must make a quest to translate scripture; and the only people who can help me live in the hellish kingdom of the north known as Canada!

 Once Bugs has calmed down we begin the preparations for the final boss of this DLC's story. I took this beast on off camera and got my face kicked in so I knew that some training and new equipment was in order. Thankfully it paid off and with the Great Madshadow's defeat it looks like this is indeed the end of Ni no Kuni 2's DLC. I might be wrong but those extra pictures on Leafbook seem to be a pretty strong indicator. I could be wrong but I get the feeling that I might be right.

 If so then thank you Level 5 for a game that pretty much blows the first game out of the water while still giving us that Studio Ghibli magic. But I will still be trying to complete everything that this DLC has to offer of course. I just need myself a little bit of a break. In fact I think I've been taking it easy for a bit too long. Next Monday I'll be bringing the thunder.

 Another week and man what a fresh load of disappointment. I think I may have finally reached my breaking point with Zi-O where it's clear that the writers have just given up. Beast Morphers seems to be planting seeds of the story arc which is a definite good thing whereas Ryusoulger has the Green and Black revealed after their early bird cameo from Super Sentai Saikyo battle and they're sociopaths and the episode gets darker from there. As for Mega Man X8, I was a complete idiot and picked hard mode for this play through. I honestly haven't had this much trouble in an X game since Mega Man X2 or 3, jeez.

 With only two more High Higgledies left to go we start getting personal. First we have the memory lane of Roland's son Will who reminds us that yes, their version of America was nuked before Roland  and Even stopped Doloron and saved both worlds. As if that wasn't enough we get the brief return of Will soulless surprise demon stare. As for the Last High Higgledy we get to meet Ferdinand face to face due to wibbly wobbly timey wimey dream stuff. And if you thought Will's soulless eyes were horrifying then you clearly haven't been paying attention to the crazed demon Rabbit that goes full Zant from Twilight Princess on us once we bring back the last High Higgledy.

Which you would have already seen if you're a regular viewer of Toku Riffs live with the RVT crew. In case you're not aware Toku riffs is Ez Rider, Shades, Spade Ace and Matty J and a whole group of fans getting together to riff MST3K style on the latest episodes of Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and Ultraman that we can get our hands on. We also riff on classic series as well. We also riff tokusatsu movies when they're available for fansubs so we have a lot of fun, laughs and just a general good time.

 During the intermissions we submit Tokusatsu memes to try to make the four headed jury laugh and show our creativity. So if you see this post follow the link to the RVT twitch page. Toku riffs is on Sunday at 7:00 PM or 6:00 PM depending if there's a marathon going on. Here's the link to the RVT twitch page and then the memes, use as you see fit.

Personal favorite of mine.

Would have gotten me a button if the others weren't called that night, oh well.

I got the button for this.
