The One Punch Man/Dragon Ball Debate

Why am I doing this? Why? I know why because I've had a lack of things to write about as of late and this is an article that despite the eye-ball rolling subject matter of this article this happens to be a topic I have much to say about...unfortunately...So let's get into the subject matter. Ever since his introduction "One Punch Man" main character Saitama (the eponymous One Punch Man) has been the subject of many debates, namely whether or not he'd be able to beat "Dragon Ball's" Goku. Both sides have their arguments and both sides aren't backing down from their initial claims, while these topics would be better settled by Death Battle (despite many disagreeing with many of the outcomes of their fights, myself included....Majin Buu would own Kirby) I doubt Death Battle will do Goku vs Saitama anytime soon and I think those results will still be contested (hell, people think Goku would beat Superman..and no...sadly, no). I hotbed for this debate is an Instagram channel I follow @dbz_exlusive where this debate is carried on, so I decided since I have no dog in this fight and could really care less, I'm gonna settle this debate and figure out who would win between Goku & Saitama. Let's dive in.

Mortal Kombat 11 Story Mode Review

So it's been a while since the game's release but better late than never, right? Now that I've had time to sit and let everything marinate and listen to a few perspectives on it, I think I'm ready to talk about "Mortal Kombat 11". I've said in my review of the previous game I was disappointed with "Mortal Kombat X"s story but I was interested to see where things were goings; new characters were introduced, new relationships were established and very different things were happening that altered the "Mortal Kombat" universe from the one we're familiar with. This game...*sigh* let's dive in.

STRANGE LOG: May Non Sequiturs Reign!! Vol. II

Okay, okay, okay. I get it! Yet ANOTHER Strange Log! *sigh* I know, there hasn't been any genuine articles on this site for a while and that's because I'M BUSY and #Dadlife! But I've got some downtime at work to burn through a few topics that are not worthy of an entire article, so let's dive in, yeah?

Why An AEW Weekly Show is a BAD Idea!

So it looks like AEW is well on it's way to being WWE's biggest rival as TNA or IMPACT Wrestling as it's called now is merely a footnote in the scope of wrestling. AEW has BIG dollars behind it with the Khan Family and some very talented minds involved in the process, Cody Rhodes and 2 major coups behind it with Chris Jericho and the now renamed (although it was previously his name) John Moxley (formerly Dean Ambrose) adding legitimacy to the new brand and 5 star match collector Kenny Omega as an Executive, AEW is an up and coming force to be reckoned with that the wrestling world has never seen before since Hall, Nash and Hogan formed The nWo. With that being said, AEW is still a new federation (or territory, as they're called in the biz) and with that they can learn from the mistakes of past territories and I'm here to explain why an AEW weekly show is a BAD idea. Let's dive in.

Rethinking Ari Aster

Okay, listen, I still think "Hereditary" sucks, let me be clear, the performances are great, the directing and cinematography is great, and aside from the wasted use of Gabriel Bryne, I'd say overall "Hereditary" is a technically sound movie through and through, but just because it looks good doesn't mean it is good and the story could have been told A LOT better, the characters could have been a lot stronger, especially Peter but unfortunately he turned out to be your typical high school senior obsessed with girls and smokin' pot, so when the bad thing happens to the poor boy you can hardly say it was that bad as the boy barely had character, to begin with. But I digress, all of these are issues I had with "Hereditary" and I'll be happy to discuss them with anyone but I'm not here to talk about "Hereditary", not entirely anyway, I'm actually here to talk about its writer and director, Ari Aster. Very few in Hollywood can claim both writer and director of their own projects and usually, when that happens it typically means the studios has quite a bit of faith in them.

"Hereditary" despite my best understanding has somehow managed to become a massive cult hit, and while I'm not the only one who doesn't like the movie, I'm the only one (that I'm aware of) who doesn't like the movie because of the story and how its told. But I digress, so Ari Aster's next film "Midsommar" which does look interesting enough to warrant my observation as details emerge is now on everyone's radar as being the next cult hit. So I wanted to take a look at Ari Aster's available body of work and stumbled upon his film "The Strange Thing About The Johnsons" and this began my rethinking of Ari Aster. I'll explain what I mean after the break. Spoilers of "Hereditary" and "The Strange Thing About The Johnsons" below.

STRANGE LOG: Make It Rainmaker!

The time is 4:55am and I'm currently awake because, A) I can't sleep and B) I have to be up and out before 8am. I got a long day ahead of me. I'm planning on changing jobs fairly soon, while I enjoyed my previous job, I got laid off and started to notice various flaws that just became too much to deal with, two of the most major of those flaws being they didn't have direct deposit, therefore, checks always came late and my last paycheck was $200 short...which as a new father is a BIG inconvenience. But I digress, using the time I have now before I shower and cook breakfast I decided to at least start writing myself a Strange Log. Rest assured actual articles will be coming somewhere down the pike, I still gotta review "Mortal Kombat 11" and I'll have quite a bit to say about it but for now here are a few things I need to discuss after the break!

STRANGE LOG: The Lysol & Katie Question

Boy, I can already tell this Strange Log is going to be one "hot take" after another and is probably going to piss a lot of people off but such is the nature of where we are today, everyone has a side to be on and a bone to pick and regardless of what brand of media you consume you'll eventually be faced with that reality, so let's dive in.
