Which Actor played Ian Fleming’s James Bond Character best?

2 Comments

One of the most popular and intense franchises to make history, the no other spy thriller movie character written by Ian Fleming, James Bond. The long-going franchise initially produced by Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman has lived on till today with various producers and casting of six actors altogether. 

 Since its debut in 1962, the character Bond(007) is so loved by the public, don’t know whether it’s the suit or the charisma that comes along with the character. James Bond is not just a person but an icon that has been passed down over the years with different personalities showing us more side to the beloved 007. 

We all have our favourite and best bond actors but we cannot deny the fact that some just fit the character so well than the others. Just my opinion, but not all bond actors are on the same par when it came to showing us who fit the role, and here is what I think about the actors to have played the role and the ones who were generally considered loved by the public. 

6/6

George Lazenby

The Australian actor and officially the second bond with his only bond movie Her majesty’s secret service (1969) didn’t quite fit the role, probably because he was too rigid for the role. The charisma and style just weren’t. This would come as a shock to some fans because of him being a former model, which would have made him your model icon James bond. He did so well in the ability to portray aggression impressing the producers but that didn’t quite cut it, did it? He was supposedly too physically convincing and quit his role being compared to his predecessor which set the bar too high for him to ascertain. After all, he wasn’t even a professional actor.

5/6

Timothy Dalton

Arguably one of the most popular James bonds, the fourth bond was rumoured to be so loved by fans following his first bond movie in 1987, the living daylights. Unfortunately, his role was cut short due to legal issues and delay in production with him starring in only two movies. We can’t deduce enough from just two movies although he was what Ian Fleming had in mind of who and what James Bond is. So much potential from him but I guess shit happens. His popularity has been widely debated as the first and sixth bonds presumably have stolen the hearts of the people due to the overall quality and the innovative nature of their films.

4/6

Roger Moore

Being the third British spy or Bond character, Roger suited for this role seven times and was known for his violence during the franchise. What didn’t Roger do! battled with crocodiles, wrestled with a metallic shark, went toe to toe with a man with metallic teeth (in the spy who loved). His intense action role and humor made us love him although some might say it didn’t make his movies worth rewatching.

3/6

Pierce Brosnan

Probably one of the best-suited actors for the character, our fifth bond actor still deserves all the love and respect he gets being considered as one of the most loved actors by the producers. His style, character, and charisma with the love he gives to his woman still get fans all hyped up. Besides, it was from his character we get to see the “bond girl” as not just a damsel in distress but also as someone who could kick ass and lit some action. He paved the way for the sixth bond making the bond movie more emotional than physical later on.

2/6

Daniel Craig

One of the best actors to play the role, we have our very own blonde and sixth Bond, hopefully not the last James bond. Although being skeptical in his first appearance, thinking fans wouldn’t love him and all, Craig still pulled it off showing us more of the intellectual and romantic side of Bond. His movies were on point, making him the most commercially successful James Bond. He saved the cinema James bond if I must say. But I guess James bond isn’t just all about the money cause he will be ranking the best, won’t he? 

1/6

Sean Connery(Best)

The first man to portray the character, bond, James bond will always be loved and respected by fans anytime and anywhere. He set the standards too high for the rest if you ask me. I won’t say he is the “perfect” modelled James bond, but the sophisticated style and charisma he put into the character or role cannot be underestimated. He didn’t try at all, he simply depicted class and sexiness, with a cigarette in his mouth while introducing the character. He embodied the character and charmed everyone making us love him so much.

Final thoughts

You may have your opinions and thoughts about the ranking, well why won’t you, we are all entitled to our opinions, and a character affects people in different ways, so my view can never be yours. But let’s not ignore facts. Feel free to leave comments or air your opinions down below.

3 ways Makkari from the Eternals is a better Speedster than the Flash

Leave a comment

Since Marvel’s “Eternals” movie was released, this debate has been going on for a while as to who’s faster among these two speedsters : Marvel’s own Makkari from the Eternals and DC’s Barry Allen, commonly known as the flash. Before we get into the main deal let’s recap who these characters are:

Makkari

Makkari is a member of a race of genetically modified beings, who were created at the world forge by the Celestials. These Celestials arrived Earth in 5000 B.C to fast track the progress of Humanity and protect humans from Villains called ” deviants”.

Barry Allen “The Flash”

The Flash, a founding member of the Justice League, is widely regarded as the world’s fastest man. He taps into the Speed Force and transforms into a costumed crime-fighter using his super-speed abilities.

Now let’s get down to business, How is Makkari a better Speedster than the Flash??

1.Superhuman Strength

When it comes to strength, i believe we can agree that barry is behind. Makkari possesses superhuman strength able to lift at least 30 tons under normal conditions. Well as for barry, let’s just say he’s human in that aspect.

2.Combat Skills

Barry isn’t particularly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. His prior fights with Reverse Flash, Zoom, Godspeed, Gorilla Grodd, and others demonstrate this. It normally takes him a long time to find out a means to defeat Villains without resorting to speed. Barry Allen can be beaten to a pulp by a Speedster who is on the same level as him and has good combat skills.

Makkari, on the other hand, has millennia of fighting experience. Makkari’s metabolism is additionally boosted by cosmic energy, therefore she doesn’t get tired from physical activity.

3.Earth-Eternal Physiology

Makkari, like the other eternals has a lifeform supported by cosmic energy and has complete Control over her body even when he’s sleep or unconscious. This is to say that Makkari cannot die from old age and is immune to diseases to a degree not known. Makkari also has body reinforced by cosmic energy making her indestructible. The only force that can injure Makkari is a cosmic force stronger than hers, or a distintegration at the molecular level.

Well this is merely an opinion, leave yours in the comment box.

Was “No time to Die” movie worth the hype?

4 Comments

Have we seen the last of James Bond? Well, who knows, but I think this is the last we’ll see Daniel Craig in his role as James Bond in the movie, “No time to Die”. The movie released by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer & Eon productions in October of 2021 after the long wait due to the covid-19 pandemic. Well, for most people who followed the James Bond character from its inception in the ’60s, “No time to Die” might just have been yet another masterpiece of action and storytelling following the travails of Daniel Craig in reprising his role. 

It’s no wonder that the franchise over the years has gained huge popularity owing to the large budget and kinds of characters cast in each movie. The level of action, espionage, car chases and all just seems to blow the mind in a million ways. 

Plot

No time to Die begins with Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) as a little girl in a cabin with her mother. Safin (Rami Malek) attacks them and kills Madeline’s mother because her father killed his whole family. But she escapes and falls into the frozen water, but is spared by Safin. Later we see the love story between Swann and Bond as they spend time together in Matera. Bond visits Vesper Lynd’s grave, but is ambushed by Blofeld (Christoph Waltz)’s men making Bond leave Swann as he thought she was responsible. 

Moving on, we are taken through the series of events and action that leads Bond to the discovery of project Heracles and Nanobots which Blofeld tries to make use of in his evil plot. Later, reinstated by M16 boss M (Ralph Fiennes), Bond, Felix Leiter, Logan Ash and Paloma, a CIA agent take on Blofeld’s men in Cuba and capture Obruchev, a scientist working for Safin. Unknowingly, Bond is infected by a reintroduced Swann when he goes to see Blofeld and mistakenly kills him. Reunited in Love, we get to see the couple back together again and also, wait for it, Baby Mathilde, who has Bond’s blue eyes. Ash, who is a double agent and his minions try to kill the family, but is killed by Bond instead leading to Bond’s family being taken by Safin.  We see surprisingly the new 007, Nomi (Lashanna Lynch) and Bond later on in action in a bid to rescue the family from Safin’s hideout. Safin is later killed by Bond who on fighting him is infected and cannot leave the facility. With airstrikes already called on the facility, Bond bids his family goodbye and tells them he loves them and that’s the last we see of James Bond. 

Why I think the movie was worth the hype

Many Bond fans are reminiscing on social media about Daniel Craig’s time in the role of 007, which has come to a close. No Time To Die, Craig’s latest film as 007, has many fans rethinking their assessment of Skyfall as the actor’s best performance. 

Well, after watching the movie, I just couldn’t seem to imagine ( now don’t get me wrong, all past Bond characters were superb, and Craig just fitted into the role perfectly) who else could play James Bond with such class. Well, I guess we’ll get to see that in subsequent movies. (I really hope so; crying emoji)

Here’s why I think it’s worth the hype.

It was a successful conclusion to the series

Daniel Craig’s No Time To Die career has come to an end, and fans are saddened to see him go. In the past, numerous films and television shows have struggled to put a series to a close. 

In No Time To Die, the current film series came to an appropriate finale. That final picture allowed Craig to say goodbye to the part while still bringing it to a close. 

We got to see female action

It is in Cuba that we get to know the female 007 who took over Bond’s number when the former agent resigned. It’s no surprise that Nomi (Lashana Lynch), the new Bond girl, is sensational, but the debut of CIA operative Paloma (Ana de Armas) is equally impressive. It’s refreshing to see Bond Girls take center stage alongside the male action heroes.

The movie enabled Bond to form deeper “bonds”

A fundamental issue that we see often in the Bond franchise is that Bond has a habit of pursuing women. For the sake of the story, No Time to Die ignored this aspect of the character, which was a rather wise decision. 

By giving Bond a closer relationship to the people in his life, particularly Madeleine, Bond became a more fully formed character.

The movie’s got some nice action

Every other Bond movie has been outdone by No Time to Die in terms of its jaw-dropping action scenes. Each scene, from car chases to hand-to-hand combat to gunplay, was expertly staged and executed.  It was a perfect match, and the film captured it well. 

We also got to see vintage and modern models of cars with awesome gadgets

A marvellous job was done in recreating James Bond’s automotive and technological past in No Time To Die. In addition to the dual mini-guns and smoke billowing from his vintage Aston Martin, Q’s innovations were on full exhibit, from EMP watches to popping eyes. 

Many fans were happy to see the franchise’s exotic automobiles and Q’s technology get the recognition they deserve. 

“No time to Die” gave Bond a purpose to fight for 

In No Time To Die, James Bond became a father for the first time. When James and Madeleine decided to start a new life together, they decided to leave their old one. Guns and suspicion, of course, scuppered this meeting. 

Bond discovered that he had a daughter when he and M were reunited after so long. To Bond, this was a driving force throughout the rest of the film. A father’s battle to protect his daughter even changed how he interacted with a movie villain.

Well, these and lot more are the reasons why I think you should just grab some popcorn and chillout with the movie. Really, I would like to know your thoughts if you’ve already watched it. Did you enjoy it?

Red Notice: 5 Most Epic Scenes in Red Notice

Leave a comment

November 5, 2021 saw the release of the Action-comedy movie Red Notice. The movie, which was distributed by Netflix, starred Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot in its main roles. Although all three actors have once played roles in the Fast and Furious franchise, this was the first time their (all three) characters had an interactive screen time.

The plot follows the actions of two competing thieves (Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot) and an FBI agent suspected of theft (Dwayne Johnson) and their goals of stealing the three bejeweled “Cleopatra’s eggs” for unique reasons.

This Rawson Marshall Thurber’s movie is something I’d say was not too good and not so bad. Red Notice is a slightly above average movie. Still, there were some really thrilling moments in the 118-minutes film that are worth appreciating.

Most Epic Scenes in the Movie

(SPOILER ALERT)

In no particular order, the most exciting moments within the movie’s running time are:

John Hartley Reveals That the Egg in the Museum Is a Fake and Has to Chase Nolan Booth

Special Agent John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson)  believes that the so-called Cleopatra’s Egg in the Roman museum is a fake replica because it doesn’t reflect heat when he scans it with a thermal sensor, contrary to what would be expected from a jewel with 18 karats of gold. He finally proves that the egg has been switched for a fake by pouring a can of soda directly on the artifact which starts melting immediately to the surprise of everyone present in the room.

The scene continues with Hartley giving the art thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) a hot chase. One amazing fact about the pursuit is that Ryan Reynolds’ character finds it easier to evade obstacles and pass through narrow places due to the considerable size difference between Dwayne Johnson’s character and his.

Ed Sheeran’s Scene at the Wedding of the Egyptian Billionaire’s Daughter

The multiple awards winning singer English singer Ed Sheeran had an uncredited cameo appearance in the movie. Though he had a relatively short screen time in the movie, the little scene he had was a blast.

First of all, the bride abandons the groom and diverts her attention to Ed Sheeran, her favorite singer, when he begins performing.

Again, when the wedding is stormed by agents of the Interpol, Ed Sheeran tries to fight off an Interpol agent with a guitar while declaring that he’s Ed Sheeran and he featured in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Nolan Booth Announces That John Hartley Is an FBI Agent in the Russian Prison Dining Room

When Booth and Hartley are arrested and sent to a remote Russian prison, they’re expected to work hand-in-hand to escape the horrible situation. However, during breakfast one day, Booth begins announcing that Hartley is an FBI agent in the prison dining room. It’s more ridiculous to see Booth trying to point out the difference between an FBI agent and a cop.

The other prisoners are unsatisfied and one of them proceeds to fight with Hartley, thereby creating a turmoil in the prison. Later in the movie, it’s revealed that Booth acted this way to create a medium for him to steal a prison official’s keycard. Slick, right?

Nolan Booth and John Hartley Versus the Charging Bull

In a bid to avoid being shot by Sotte Voce, an international arms dealer who was once in possession of the second Cleopatra’s Egg, Booth and Hartley unknowingly run into an arena where an angry charging bull is present. The thrilling part of this scene is that Booth and Hartley are placed in a dilemma where they have to either risk being shot by Sotte Voce or risk being mauled by the angry bull. They chose the latter eventually.

Who You Thought Is Your Partner is actually my Partner-in-Crime


For the most part of the movie Red Notice, Booth believes that he and Hartley are partners working against a common enemy, Sarah Black (Gal Gadot) who’s believed to go by the code name “The Bishop ”. The viewers of the movie were also made to believe this story.

However, towards the end of the movie, an impressive plot twist unfolded. Here, Hartley and Sarah Black divulge to Booth and the unsuspecting viewers that they’re actually a criminal duo and simultaneously romantic partners. They also reveal the linking threads in their plans connecting them.

Final Thoughts

There are some other great scenes in Red Notice as well. Still, I think these five scenes were the most captivating and most expertly-presented of them all.

Top Deadliest Anime Villain Groups

Leave a comment

Different Anime have particular groups of people that are posed as a threat to the protagonist of the series and the general civilian population. The members of these groups are typically endowed with insanely powerful abilities capable of world destruction. In this article, we would be looking at the Top Deadliest Anime Villain Groups

1. Akatsuki – Naruto

These guys are certainly one of the evilest organisations of all time. They are typically identified by their black robes lined in red, with symbols of a red cloud on them. They are a villainous organisation of Shinobi who pursue their perspective of world peace. Members are former dangerous criminals who defected the populace.

2. Espada: Bleach

During Bleach’s Arrancar arc, the Espada are the main antagonists. “Espada” is a Spanish word that means “sword.” When it comes to establishing rank and dealing with others, Espada’s basic rule is that strength is most essential. They are formidable opponents for Ichigo and the rest of the cast throughout the story.

3. Phantom Troupe – Hunter x Hunter

The Phantom Troupe is an A-Class Bounty group, made up of some of the most infamous criminals in the world. Aside from a brief cameo in Yorknew City, they are the series’ most prominent antagonists. Every one of the group’s 13 members is proficient in Nen use. A current member must be killed to join, but the other members don’t mind if you just wait for Chrollo Lucilfer to pick you. Even entire populations have been wiped out by the Phantom Troupe in exchange for the correct price.

4. The Twelve Demon Moons – Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Muzan’s Twelve Demon Moons are a formidable group of Demons who serve under his command. They are the most powerful Demons alive, each holding a huge percentage of Muzan’s blood. The Six Upper Moons and the Six Lower Moons are divided into two groups based on rank and strength. Although Muzan eventually defeats the Lower Moons and declares them useless, the six Upper Moons remain formidable foes that even the Pillars cannot defeat.

5. The Ten Commandments – The Seven Deadly Sins

Members of The Ten Commandments, chosen by the Demon King himself, are not to be taken lightly. They’re exceptional fighters with their special abilities and the capacity to curse anyone who disobeys their instruction. Members like Zeldris and Estarossa, who both have a combat class of around 60,000, make this gang particularly hazardous to the Seven Deadly Sins.

6. Eye of the Midnight Sun – Black Clover

The Eye of the Midnight Sun is a band of rogue magicians who terrorize the Clover Kingdom. There they are, led by Licht, who intends to overthrow the Clover Kingdom and bring back the Elf-Kingdom. Some of the strongest fighters belong to a group known as the Third Eye, which is made up of 50 members with 3 insanely powerful people: Vetto of the despair, Fana the hateful, and Rhya. The kingdom’s magic knights had never encountered anything like them.

7. Aogiri Tree – Tokyo Ghoul

Eto Yoshimura created the terrorist group Aogiri Tree. The one-eyed King, a figure shrouded in mystery and only seen by a few Aogiri members, is thought to be in charge of the kingdom. While Eto is more typically seen in the background, Tatara is a direct heir to the throne and serves as the operational leader. The Aogiri are working together to make ghouls the most dominating species in the world. Ghouls of all ranks fill the organization’s ranks, but Eto has said that most are B ranked or lower, except for Misa, Ayato, Tatara, and Naki, who are all S rated or higher.

Dune: Things we want to know in the Sequel

Leave a comment

Well, those of us that have recently seen Dune would agree it’s worth every attention it is getting. The movie seems to have it all, from its direction to delivery and plot. An adaption of Frank Herbert’s book Dune, it sure set a path of its own. A previous movie of the same name from the book was done in 1984, but we must agree that Dune 2021 is more of an upgrade. 

The ending of the first Dune Movie was only the middle of Frank Herbert’s book and viewers can surely expect more. It does leave us hanging and it felt like the most interesting part of the movie was only about to begin with Paul (Timothee Chalamet) meeting the girl he has always seen in his visions, Chani (Zendaya).

The movie is centered on the great house of Atriedes’ heir, Paul Atriedes, gifted with visions. He sees visions of a girl with blue eyes(a characteristic feature of the Fremen) who he had never met before, but believed she was key to his fate. The journey isn’t straightforward. His father, Leto Atriedes(Oscar Isaac), the Duke is ordered by the emperor to take charge of Arrakis after abruptly removing another great house (Harkonnens) from control of the planet. The emperor has other intentions with this move seeing the Atriedes as a great threat to him.

When the battle between the two great houses begins, the emperor takes side with the Harkonnes and sends his private army(the Sardaukar). The Atriedes’ house are exposed to danger and their bloodline is at the brink of being wiped out. Leto is betrayed by his physician Dr. Yueh (Chang Chen) and delivered to The Baron (Stellan Skarsgard), head of the Harkonnens to be killed. He dies but not without taking some of Baron’s best men with him. Leto’s wife Jesicca (Rebecca Ferguson)and son are caught, but escape from their captors using their gift (the Voice) to free themselves from their captors. With Leto dead, it sets the path for Paul to head the Atriedes’ house, but Paul has bigger plans and has his eyes set on controlling the imperium. This sets the tone for the movie and gives it an entertaining thrill.

With the part 2 coming out in 2023, here are some questions we ask and want answers.

What is the objective of the Bene Gesserit?

 In this movie, the Bene Gesserit wields the strongest power. They work closely with the great houses to assist them, but they have their own plans. The compulsive and manipulative effect of their Voice makes them feared. They believe they have a responsibility to save humanity from itself and launch it to a new generation of greatness.

Similarly, they assume Kwisatz Haderach is the crusader of this cause and think they might just have found him in person of Paul Atriedes. However, what we don’t know is how far are they ready to see their goals fulfilled? To save humanity, they probably need to have the highest power in the land (the throne). How far are they willing to go?

 Moreover, if it’s achieved, what are their plans on saving humanity?

Does Paul fulfil his destiny and ascend the throne?

We see at the end of part 1 that Paul thinks he has a shot at the throne with the king having no sons and therefore no heir. If he is to make his move, then he would have to face the emperor and his fearsome army.

Again, if he is to succeed, he would need an army to stand a chance, and the Fremen with their desert power sure makes good allies. Although, I think we already saw this play out in his vision in the tent, where he seems to have won, his fight with Jamis taught us that his visions don’t always happen the exact way he sees them.

What is The Baron’s Role in the Grand scheme of things?

The Baron intended to take back control of Arrakis and exploit their resources and make gain. This was what led him to fight the Atriedes. He was lucky not to have died with Leto after his shield saved him and he ran to the ceiling at the last minute. Though, he isn’t fully healthy and seems to be recuperating in a thick black oil. 

Still, Paul, knowing he killed his father, is not likely to sit still and this may lead to another battle between the two great houses. His relationship with the emperor and his strong presence in Arrakis certainly makes their battle a good one to see.

Final Thoughts 

Perhaps, the second part of this movie may not answer all our questions. Regardless, seeing the success of part one, the producer Denis Villeneuve thinks there may be a trilogy adapting Herbert’s sequel, Dune Messiah. Till then, we have our hands crossed. Meanwhile, the part 2 has been slated for release on the 20th of October 2023.

Free Guy: What Will the Perfect Sequel Look Like?

2 Comments

August 2021 featured the release of one of the best action comedy movies of the year, Free Guy. Free Guy was an enjoyable assortment of a decent plot, good casting, incredible acting, tremendous directing, and excellent cinematography.

The 115 minutes film, which was directed by Shawn Levy and distributed by 20th Century Studios, starred Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rey Howery, Utkatsh Ambudkar, and Taika Waititi.

Its plot, written by Matt Lieberman, is centered on the life and actions of Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a Non-Player Character (NPC) in Free City, an online multiplayer video game.

Free Guy 1 Plot Summary 

Guy is a boring bank teller in Free City, a game world populated with criminals and other NPCs. His life revolves around petting his pet fish, drinking a cup of coffee, and meeting Buddy (Lil Rey Howery), his friend, at the bank where he has to face an attack by robbers and other criminals every day. He has a turning point when he encounters Molotov Girl (Jodie Comer), a player character, who he immediately admires.

After discovering Molotov Girl, Guy starts changing course from his normal programming. He snatches a pair of sunglasses from one of the criminal player characters and begins to see Free City in another light. In a bid to win the attention of Molotov Girl, he increases his experience level in the game by achieving several heroic deeds. This action causes him to become popular and earn fans in the real world. 

Meanwhile, in the real world, Millie Rusk, the controller of Molotov Girl, suspects that Antwan (Taika Waititi), the chief developer of Free City, stole the source code from her and her ex-boyfriend Walter “Keys” McKeys. She makes her opinions known to Keys (Joe Keery) who is at present the co-developer of Free City. However, he doesn’t express any concern.

Millie has a clue that Antwan hid the source code in a Stash within the game. She attempts to gain access to the Stash using her player character Molotov Girl. But, she’s unable to obtain the evidence and has to escape with Guy’s help after the unsuccessful attempt.

In Free City,  Guy becomes sentient when he tries to kiss Molotov Girl and they both begin a romantic relationship. When Keys realizes that Guy is an NPC who has become self-aware, he helps Millie to get the evidence 

Antwan is dissatisfied with the popularity and fans Guy is getting both in the game and real-world because he sees it as a threat to the new game, Free City 2, he intends to launch. He orders Free City 1 to be rebooted leading to the temporary loss of Guy’s memory and sentience. 

After Guy regains his memory and sentience, he accompanies Molotov Girl to an island in the game for further proof of Antwan’s crimes. Antwan tries to kill them, but he’s unsuccessful. Enraged, he proceeds to destroy the city by breaking the servers of the game resulting in the fading away of the characters. Millie approaches him before he can destroy the final server and hands over the evidence to him on the agreement that he spares the final server.

Antwan releases Free Guy 2 which ends up being a massive failure. He is criticized by the public and eventually arrested for theft and illegal damage. Millie discovers that the character Guy is a love letter to her from Keys and she rekindles her romance with the latter.

Keys and Millie with the assistance of Mouser, a co-developer,  launch a new game Free life with their retrieved code. Free Life features the digital life of Guy, Buddy, and Dude, an unfinished muscular version of Guy.

Confirmation of Free Guy Sequel

Some days after the Free Guy release date (August 14, 2021), the lead role Ryan Reynolds satisfied the curiosity of the public by confirming that Disney was interested in doing a sequel of the movie.

5 Events That Will Make Free Guy 2 a Great Sequel

As you can all agree, most movie sequels turn out to be a disappointing degradation from the original movie. Still, in a few cases, some sequels have managed to be equally as good as the original movie or even better.

For Disney to create an impressive sequel, there are certain events they need to incorporate into the new plot.

Some relevant Free Guy sequel ideas include:

More Thrilling Adventures in Free Life

Free Guy ended with Guy, Buddy, and Dude taking a walk in the new game, Free Life. It’s only befitting for the new game to be packed with exciting and mind-blowing adventures. The ideal adventures will enable Ryan Reynolds and Lil Rey Howery to throw interesting jokes, humor, quips, and funny scenes into the sequel.

It’s up to Disney to decide on the right adventures to blend into Free Life. Regardless, it’s almost certain that the Free Guy sequel will be an enjoyable box office success with captivating adventures.

A Typical Disney Romance Between Millie and Keys

The beginning of Free Guy portrayed a broken romance between Millie and Keys. However, the end of the movie hinted at a potential romantic relationship between the characters. Adding a decent romance, which both characters didn’t get a sufficient dose of in the original movie, will make the sequel worth watching.

Moreover, when someone says they’re going to see a Disney Movie what comes to mind? Romance, of course! It’s left for Disney to use their mastery of romantic movies to their advantage. Putting together a romantic sequel wouldn’t be rocket science for them, would it?

Extra Doses of Shenanigans From Antwan

Most of us knew that Taika Waititi is a good movie director. We saw his incredible works in the movies Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit. But, we didn’t know he was also a great actor until we saw his acting role in Free Guy. 

Thanks to Waititi’s extraordinary acting, Antwan was the perfect villain for the action-comedy movie. Mischievous, humorous, proud, relentless, ambitious, and likable on screen. It’s uncertain that a new character will be a suitable antagonist in the sequel.

 Although Antwan was arrested at the end of the original movie, additional villainous acts from him are required for the sequel to be awesome.

The sequel can feature Antwan’s slip away from police custody or break out from jail to wreak havoc on the new game Free Life. He could also get back at Millie and Keys by employing someone on the outside to do his dirty work while he’s in jail.

Anyway, we all want Antwan in Free Guy 2 as our villain.

In-Game Villain(s)

What’s an action/adventure game without a proper villain? Free Life needs to have villains that’ll keep Guy, Dude, and Buddy busy. Of course, we’d love to see Buddy kick some asses. Nobody wants to play a smooth adventure game without challenges or difficulties.

Although Free Life wasn’t developed to have the typical ‘shoot me, you miss, I shoot you’ concept as suggested by Millie, an in-game villain will be appreciated even if they don’t make use of a gun or sword. Even an ordinary fistfight could spice up the movie if properly incorporated into the plot. 

Again, an in-game villain may also be brought into the plot as the contentious effort of Antwan rather than Keys and Millie’s doing. Either means, the delightful effect of an in-game villain on the sequel’s plot can’t be overemphasized.

Bottom Line

Though we don’t know if Disney shares these views, a Free Guy sequel with these elements is worthy of a good rating and reviews.

Black Clover: Is The Black Clover Series Becoming More Like Naruto?

Leave a comment

Hey guys, this is one major controversy going on in the anime world. During the era of the Naruto anime series, we all had our fill of action, adventure and loads of comedy except in the Shippuden, where everyone got too serious. That aside, the black clover anime is becoming more like Naruto the more we watch it. Well, for those that do not have any idea of what we are talking about, I’ll be dropping three similarities between the black clover and Naruto anime series.

Asta’s Similarity With Naruto

The talkative nature of Asta, with his high aspirations of becoming the strongest wizard, brings back memories of little naruto always yapping that he was going to become the Hokage one day. Even though their attraction to the opposite sex makes them very different, suspicions of anime fans were confirmed as Asta’s power is more and more taking the shape of a demon. Does this remind you of anyone? Hell yeah, Kurama the nine tail beast is Naruto’s demon source of power, if I might say. 

Another similarity between both characters is how they seem to work the most. Although Asta was empty of magic, unloved by mana, Naruto was a disaster of a Ninja and could not even perform the shadow replication Jutsu. However, both characters end up working the hardest physically to develop strength and speed above their peers.

Yuno’s Similarity With Sasuke

Cool and calm with a lot of love from the ladies, these were the attributes of Sasuke which have now been replicated in Yuno of the golden dawn. Acknowledged as Asta’s rival, which is only fitting as Sasuke was to Uchiha, Yuno was endowed with rare power, a four-leaf clover just as rare as the Sharingan of the Uchiha. Both characters are blessed with techniques they do not work for ( sorry guys, I’m not much of a Sasuke or Yuno fan). Well, I think if you closely look at both characters, you would notice much more.

Non-Existence Of Parents 

While we all love our parents, you will agree that parents are becoming obsolete in anime series. Most of the time, the tragedy from the loss of their parents propels them to work harder to make something of themselves. This is evident in the lives of Naruto and Sasuke. Could you imagine how they would have been if they had parents in the anime series? I doubt Naruto would be a nine tails Jinjuriki or Sasuke would meet Orochimaru. 

This is replicated in the lives of Asta and Yuno. Who lose both their parents before birth. I think there’s a connection between both anime series. 

While there are more similarities between both anime series, these are the most obvious ones. If you have noticed anyone, we will be looking forward to your comments.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Top 6 Strongest Jujutsu kaisen Characters, Number 3 is unavoidable!

1 Comment

Jujutsu kaisen is a must-watch anime packed with insanely strong characters, including Jujutsu Sorcerers and Courses. After I completed the first season of this anime, I thought of coming up with my list of the strongest characters in the series. My number 3 might come as a shock, but there’s just something about that character.

6/6

Itadori Yuji

This guy is the protagonist of the series as well as the least experienced shaman on the list. He has a decent personality, always believes he can save everyone and is also a glutton. He can be likened to the nature of the anime character Uzumaki Naruto. He doesn’t use cursed energy quite well but has a great deal of Superhuman strength. Itadori Yuji is also the vessel of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. It’s quite surprising that he could even put the special grade curse under control. He sure has a lot of potentials that we would be seeing as the story further unfolds.

5/6

Hanami

Best described as a cursed spirit portraying forests. It is important to know that cursed spirits are borne out of the clumped feelings of fear, anger, and pain in humans. As a special grade spirit, hanami is extremely powerful. He can withstand strong attacks from Jujutsu Sorcerers because of the “Ultimate Durability” feature he possesses. His powers let him control plants around him. It took the combined efforts of Todou and Itadori to weaken him in the series.

4/6

Mahito

This guy is an extremely powerful Special grade curse user. Idle Transfiguration, his cursed technique, enables him to change the shape of someone’s soul and control them as his subjects. Mahito says to Nanami during their first fight that a body is constantly wrapped around a soul.

Mahito can even modify the shape of his soul and develop a pair of wings, claws, and other accessories in a matter of seconds using this philosophy. He’s a truly fearsome opponent.

3/6

Suguru Geto

Looking at the first season of the series, Geto is for sure one hell of a shady guy. All he does is just talk and hasn’t displayed any bit of power. This certainly leaves us wondering what this guy is capable of. 

Second in strength among the four special grade shamans, Suguru Geto is a former Jujutsu High School student. As a teenager, Suguru attended the same high school as Satoru Gojo and Principal Masamichi Yaiga. Gojou Satoru, for example, has praised Geto for his strength and talents.

2/6

Gojou Satoru

Satoru Gojo believes that he is the strongest . While all of the other Jujutsu sorcerers have their unique curses, Gojou’s “Six Eyes” and “Limitless” seem to make him appear to be more powerful than all of them together.

He’s from one of the Three Great Shaman families, the Gojo clan. He is currently teaching the first-year shamans at Jujutsu High School. He has complete command of the atoms and the space surrounding him, and he possesses a vast store of the curse energy.

1/6

Ryomen Sukuna

As the series’ main villain, Ryomen Sukuna is the indisputable King of Curses. Because of his mastery of all poisons, he’s also known as the King of Poisons.

A powerful cursed spirit with two faces and four arms was defeated by the shamans of the Golden Age of Jujutsu Sorcery, giving him the moniker ‘Ryoumen Sukuna.’ Sukuna, on the other hand, easily overcame all of them.

Shamans couldn’t destroy Sukuna’s body, so they chopped all 20 of his fingers and trapped his powers in his hands to protect them.

However, until all 20 fingers of Itadori have been consumed, he can not attain full power. Unquestionably, Sukuna will have reached his full potential by the time this happens, which is something we eagerly await the arrival of.

HxH: Five Hunter X Hunter Characters That Are Yet To Display Their True Power

Leave a comment

If you are a fan of the Hunter x Hunter anime series, you would agree that there was a lot of content that we did not get to watch. The anime series pretty much ended after the ant king was somewhat defeated by the President of the Hunter Association, Chairman Netero. However, as we were all expectant for more action and adventures, the series ended abruptly. I believe there’s a lot that we didn’t get to see. So, this write-up will contain detailed information on the most interesting characters that we didn’t get to see their full power on the hunter x hunter anime series. 

Killua Zoldyck

As one of the notable characters in the anime series with just as many hours of screen time as Gon, Killua seems to have lagged in power as the series was coming to an end. Although understandably, the Enhancer group of Nen users where Gon belongs are only second to specialists, Killua trained just as much as Gon, so we expected there would be much to see. However, we didn’t.

Although his Godspeed technique came in handy during the fight against the strongest of the Chimera Ant king’s royal guard Menthuthuyoupi, Gon’s power up during the battle with Neferpitou leaves Killua in the dust. While it is unlikely that Gon will be able to tap into this power again, it shows that he has potential. In my opinion, we need to see more of killua’s strength.

Hisoka Morow

Hisoka is one of the most loved characters in the anime series. Not for his strength or skill but his weird personality which wavers between a hero and a villain. Also, His obsession with Gon’s potential makes him an exciting character to watch.

It is undeniable that Hisoka is a strong men user even though he’s not at the same level as chairman Netero and the likes of them. However, it was evident in the series that this character never took any fight seriously. Yes, I know he has fought some strong characters; Hisoka never had to fight in a life or death situation. He easily got into the Phantom Troupe (although we didn’t get to see who he defeated) just because he wanted to fight the leader, Chrollo. 

Overall, he’s a cool character, but there’s still much more than we are yet to see from him in the series, or at least I hope so.

Zeno Zoldyck

Zeno is Killua’s mysterious grandpa. Although we got to see little of him when Killua returned home, his true power was displayed during the invasion of the Chimera Ants palace by Zeno and Chairman Netero.  

However, after almost killing Komugi, he lost his motivation for the attack and ended the contract with Netero. Although he claims that chairman Netero is way stronger and more experienced than he is, most anime fans consider both characters equals.

The invasion of the chimera ant palace is the maximum we got to see Zeno’s power. Since we have never got to see him in one-on-one combat, I must conclude that there is still much that he has to offer.

Ging Freecs

Rumored to be one of the strongest hunters in the world and the most qualified to take over as the chairman of the hunter association, Gons father, Ging, is undoubtedly an interesting character. After abandoning Gon during his early childhood, he went ahead to discover new ruins and seek crazy adventures. While we know that he is very good at hiding or rather disappearing, we have seen nothing of his true strength.

This character was preserved throughout the anime series. Even during the attacks by the chimera ants on the hunters, we saw nothing of Ging. I wonder where he was during this period? It is clear that the creators of the anime series are starving us of this character potential. So, he makes the list of interesting characters we didn’t get to see their potential on the hunter x hunter series.

Chrollo Lucifer

The mysterious leader of the phantom troupe, a criminal group with some of the strongest characters in the hunter x hunter anime series. While he held up nicely against the Zoldycks, Zeno realized that he wasn’t fighting seriously. 

This episode was mind-blowing because one of the beat assassins in the world, Zeno Zoldyck commended the strength of Chrollo. Although we must agree the Zoldycks were not fighting at full power, I think Chrollo has shown that he is worthy of being the leader of the phantom troupe but there’s still more we are yet to see. 

There are many characters who are yet to display there true power in the anime series, but I believe that these ate the ones that are most anticipated. The manga series has definitely provided more content in these characters, however, this write up is with regards to the anime series only. What are your thoughts on these characters?
