Hi folks! I just watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters on Friday and oh man, it was so good!
Today, rather than doing an analysis of the film, I want do something different. I want to talk about our favourite Kaiju as Pokémon!
Let’s start.

How To Destroy A Villain In Two Movies: A Speculative Analysis Of Kylo Ren
Greetings my fellow Star Wars junkies! I’ve been busy detoxing with the more wholesome fare of Detective Pikachu and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but it’s now time to wander back into cinematic equivalent of heroin.
This week we’re looking at a guy who’s gone from interesting mid-level villain to less-than-credible galactic-level threat to useless appendage.
Yes, we’re talking about Kylo Ren! Join me under the cut!
Detective Pikachu, I Choose You!
So guess what I saw last Friday?
The world’s first live-action Pokémon has been out for three days and has proven to be a success with audiences, rolling towards a fifty-five million dollar opening. Which is pretty good, seeing as Soulless Cash Grab: Endgame is still out there raking in millions.
But what is it about Detective Pikachu that makes it so good? That allows it to resonate with audiences? And why do crusty old critics hate it so much?
Join me under the cut as I answer these questions and more!
Oh No There Goes Tokyo!
This week I’m taking a break from my speculative analyses of The Rise of Skywalker to discuss Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Detective Pikachu.
Specifically, why those two movies are the only good movies coming out this year.

In Like Finn: A Speculative Analysis of the Sequel Trilogy’s Most Misunderstood Hero
Greetings folks! The results of last week’s Tumblr poll are in, and the votes tallied. Finn won by a landslide!
So today, that’s who we’re going to talk about. Who Finn is, why he’s with the Resistance, and most importantly, what lies ahead for him in The Rise of Skywalker.

The One True Dark Lord of the Sith: A Speculative Analysis on Emperor Palpatine and His Role In The Rise of Skywalker
Obviously, we know very little about The Rise of Skywalker and what it entails for our heroes and villains. There have been some leaks and some guesses, but let’s face it: nobody managed to predict the title and nobody managed to predict the return of Sheev Palpatine.
The fandom, even the casual audience, is brimming with questions. Isn’t Palpatine dead? Where has he been for the last thirty years? Is he alive? A ghost? Something else? And most importantly, what is his connection to Snoke and Kylo Ren?
We have no answers yet, and I am not going to pretend that I’m any more enlightened than you are.
But I’m just as curious, and what does a writer do when they’re curious about something? Why, they write about it!
This is the first in my speculative analysis series on The Rise of Skywalker. The series will cover everything from the fate of the Jedi, to the Resistance, the First Order, the nature of the Force and of course all major characters. I chose to start with Palpatine because he is both the biggest surprise so far, and because he’s a fascinating character in his own right.

The Rise of Skywalker Trailer Analysis
Let me be straight here: I left the Star Wars fandom. I cancelled my subscription to Star Wars: The Old Republic. I uninstalled both Knights of the Old Republic games from my computer. I haven’t watched a Star Wars film since The Last Jedi.
Jeffery Jacob Abrams, however, is an emotionally manipulative bastard who’s out to get me personally, and so he cooked up this little trailer. And guess what? I’m back. Yay me.
Join me under the cut as I analyze this newest bit of emotional trauma.

Way, way easier than just posting updates.
I’ll see you guys next week.
Testuya Nomura and Brian Mitsoda, You’ve Stolen My Productivity!
Yeah, so guess what I’ve been doing for the past three weeks or so?
Between That Announcement and buying the total Kingdom Hearts package (don’t judge me), I haven’t gotten any work done.
On the other hand, I got a lot done beforehand, so when I resume working in April I should zip right along.
See you next week!
