Update Blog - 1/15/22 (Patreon)

Hello, I'm not here right now. I'm actually on a little vacation! Well, kind of. You see, as you're reading this, I'm on a little weekend trip just about an hour away from my home to spend a little quality time with my family. I won't be here for long, though. In fact, I won't even be out for 48 hours. However, even between all that time to prepare for this little trip, I still managed to work, so here's what I did this week.

- Released my review of Young Justice (Season 1): I was originally going to have this be released by the end of the month. For a while, I have mentioned that my plan was to start this year with my collab review of King of Pigs, but since that still needs a bit of work (which the release is now some time this month, maybe by the end), it was a race to get this one ready for this week and not have my schedule messed up, especially when this is a Patreon requested one. Luckily, I managed to pull through and it was honestly a relief to get this one done and not worry about my video schedule. Admittedly, maybe I could've made it a bit better and had a few extra talking points about it, but then again, the review was already about 27 minutes long, so what I've already done in that is already enough to talk about its history and my analysis. Anyways, with that said, even if what I watched was just Season 1, WOW, that was one heck of a show! Really well built, makes the most out of the entire DC Universe and the character dynamic is top notch here. From what I've heard, the later seasons do go in a darker direction, but still as good, so I may consider watching the rest to see more of what this has to offer....Who knows? Anyone down for a round 2 of a Young Justice review?

- Writing a special History video: Right after I finished up the Young Justice review, I started work on a special project that will be for next month. This won't be like the typical History non-Animation Lookback videos where I'm always in front of the green screen, but rather, it will be something a bit more experimental. Remember that Bioshock Infinite video I did a while back? It will be something more in the lines of that (expect it won't be as political, of course). This week, I finished up the first draft of the script. However, I'll still need some more revisions where I'll be getting some additional help with the research and make sure that I make the most with the ideas I have for this. It will be different than my usual works, that's for sure, but it will still be as fun nonetheless.

- Currently working on my review of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania: Oh boy...here we go again. Thankfully, this will be the last time I'll ever have to deal with this tiresome franchise (at least, I hope so). It's no surprise that I'm not excited for this one, but this time around, I know that I'm a changed man and, since this is the franchise's finale, I'm going to make a review worthy to mark its curtain call. Of course, I can promise you now that there will be no slanders of Sony Animation, on any of the animators who work on it and I'm not going to pretend to be sly or coy with my commentary. I'm going to be 100% straightforward, honest and unapologetic about what I think about the whole experience. Will I end up making some fans of the movies upset? Maybe, but I'm just going in with no Fs to give and I'm ready to take out the trash for good.

So that's the part of my week with work. Now I'll just be taking it easy and will be back tomorrow fresh and with my booster shot to start a new week and feel more confident with my work...I just hope the next video won't cause too much chaos. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
