Glitcher swings by Candy Kong's house....
Got a chance to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie today. B-) A little later than everyone else, but the Easter weekend was really busy for me. The last video game adaptation I saw was Sonic 2, which I lambasted in my review last year. I was feeling equally trepid about Mario, not because of its ignominious 1993 predecessor (which put off Nintendo for three decades), but because it was being animated by Illumination. I'm not a fan of this studio, since they have a penchant for making cheap films with lazy humour (fart jokes and "Banana!") all to serve the God of Profits. But after seeing the trailer and the attention to detail lavished upon the setting, I was much optimistic about the plumber's prospects. So read on and see how this latest adaptation fares. Let's-a go! :D The Super Mario Bros. Movie starts off with the two Brooklyn plumbers struggling to find success. After a botched house call, they're whisked away to the Mushroom Kingdom which is under imminent threat of being
Glitcher retcons himself as a war hero....
Oh boy, where do I begin? :eyepopping: Okay, I'm back for now, but my situation is still in flux. When I last wrote here, I said I was in the process of searching for a new home after being served an eviction. And guess what.... it's still ongoing! I still haven't moved out yet. During my long search, I have accepted a new room and been rejected by the landlord/lady eight times by now! I've contacted between sixty and seventy landlords to request a viewing. 80% never write back, 15% say the room is gone, and the remaining 5% who do grant me a viewing ends in various misadventures. I've had bizarre shit go wrong where I was rejected by a conspiracy theorist for being vaccinated against COVID, having my viewing trip blocked because someone jumped on the train tracks, and getting turned away at the door of one house because the landlady rented the room while I was en route. It's just obscene. I'm not picky about where I move, I just need somewhere large enough to store my stuff. I've
Glitcher is trying to keep from imploding....
Well.... I'm back. For now at least. I know some of you have been worrying about me and I don't have a lot of time to explain everything now, so I'll try and be succinct. Things have not been going well for me lately. I'm getting kicked out of my home... again. My landlord wants to do some renovations around the house, so he served me an eviction notice. At least it's not for malicious reasons this time, but I'm tired of getting the boot time and time again. :depressed: I've also had a lot of hardware problems (a partial hard drive failure among other things) along with various social altercations have cumulated in me being under constant stress this season. This has had a direct affect on my artwork, which is why I haven't updated Sonic Retold in months. Page 5-22, which is now online, is one of the most frustrating pages I've worked on in years. Nothing about this page turned out the way I wanted and I constantly felt like I was spinning my wheels on it. I painted more... and
Glitcher's lips say no, but his eyes say yes....
Got a bit of spare time today, so I wanted to talk MCU stuff. I know this post is a little overdue, but Marvel revealed their plans for the MCU going forward into the far-flung future. Reminiscent of the clairvoyant spate of films Kevin Feige announced for phases two and three back in the day, this time at SDCC 2022 we have a road map for phases five and six! Aaaaaaaaand I'm far less whelmed by the titles on offer. :unimpressed: I'm not diving too deep into each title, I just want to share my thoughts on what's planned. Phase five kicks off with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Apparently continuing where Loki left off, this one features our miniscule hero and heroine going up against Kang the Conqueror. I instantly lost interest in this after Kang's reveal, who I described in my Loki review as the worst villain ever in the MCU. Marvel is desperate to set up the next main villain for the multiverse, and the best they can come up with is "this eccentric black dude who Sylvie kills
