Veronica Mars is a case where each one of the four plots is unquestionably about its title character. Not only that, but they intersect repeatedly throughout, to the point that it becomes difficult at times to narrow down what a scenes purpose is.

Read MoreAfter a recent playthrough on the Unsupervised Nerds Twitch channel, it got me thinking. In all these years, though it has always been one of my favourite games, I don’t remember ever doing more than just skimming (or skipping) the signs or dialogue in this game. And this realization led to a wonderance: Is there a deeper lore to Super Mario 64?

Read MoreDigimon Adventure: (2020) is doing a kick ass job as an updated take on the original series. The biggest issue it has is the week to week wait to watch it. So, why not get some extra Digi-goodness in your life by going back to where it all began with a look into Digimon Adventure (1999).
Read MoreA pilot being made doesn’t necessarily mean that is perfect. The best thing about this is that you can learn more about how to do something by looking critically at examples that don’t work as well, than the ones that appear flawless.
Read MoreSpinoffs must be easy to create a pilot for, right? A lot of the world is already established and at least one of the main characters has probably had years of development thanks to whichever show they spun off from.

Read MoreBy separating characters into different groups, each with its own main character to follow, it creates the ability to give more time to the minor characters, as well as attention to each of the five Infinity Stones that Thanos has yet to gather. But this also creates its own issue. It isn’t enough to just separate into groups; the stories need to be unified or else the whole movie can feel like just a jumble of disparate elements.
Read MoreIn order to look at how Avengers: Infinity War pulls off this insane task, I’m going to break it into two parts. This first part will be about efficiency of time. I’m going to break down the opening scene of the movie in order to look at just how much is done in a short period.
Read MoreThe Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has pretty much been a fascination of mine ever since Iron Man came out back in 2008.
Somehow, this whole thing started at pretty much the perfect time for me personally.
