Update Blog - 1/22/22 (Patreon)

Last week was just a little appetizer with my review of Young Justice. Starting this week, however, I'm going to be releasing some of my biggest, craziest and most unforgettable reviews to start 2022 in a real big way. And what better way to begin this than by driving a wooden stake down a franchise that really needed to go. I still got a lot more planned, but here's my week of what's been happening.

 - Released my review of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania: I knew that this was going to be my biggest challenge yet. With this review, I had to find the perfect balance between proving how I've grown from the whole "Sony controversy" and still be honest with my opinions with how all the Hotel Transylvania films are bad, that the animation style is unappealing, that Genndy Tartakovsky is terrible as a director and writer for movies and how those films are poorly made in the same way the the Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs movies are bad. That and I needed to find a solution so that nitpicky fanboys don't complain that I'm just repeating the same criticisms (to be fair, the Hotel Transylvania movies are all the same anyways, so it's not really my fault). The solution I has with all this is let everything out regarding my thoughts on not just this movie, but the whole franchise as well. To make this a part review, part retrospective of all the movies and say everything that I like, didn't like and especially what never worked to begin with. It was a major task to get everything done and have this turn out to be a 25-26-minute review, but now I'm just nervous with how the reactions will be. This will either become one of my best reviews in recent years or I'm just gonna have angry fanboys attack me again just because my opinion is different than theirs. But at the end of the day, I'm just glad I"m officially done with HT. That's one less low-grade franchise I have to deal with.

- Writing and recording the special History video: Once I finally finished off Drac and Johnny on their garbage, I got back into that history video I started last week. This time, it was to make sure that I can make the most out of this. Unlike other times, I got help from someone to make sure all the facts are in line and that everything that needs to be said is said. I won't say this will be a majorly long video or even be as long as the HT4 review, but this will be a fascinating one to work with. Right now, I'm taking care of the voiceovers and filming of this and will soon get it all together in the editing. It will undeniably be informative, but I'll also make sure to have this be as fun as possible. It's the kind that it offers a lot of creative possibilities as much as informative materials.

- Working on the next AniMat's Classic Reviews: I've delayed this for quite some time, but it is coming back on. My collaborator for this one found the time to get to work on this and we even exchanged different ideas regarding how to make this more unique. The fact alone that I'll be sharing the spotlight with someone else on this is already something that will have this stand out from other ACRs, but there will be an extra plot element that will be included too in order to give a bit of immersiveness. That ending for the Chicken Run review gave us such a great starting ground that we need to expand on it. Don't worry, this month's ACR will be released this month!

So that's how my 2022 will begin pretty big! If you think it'll be hard to follow what I put out with that Hotel Transylvania 4 review, then you ain't seen nothing yet. I got a feeling that 2022 will give my channel a year that we will all never forget! So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
