Overlord may be slightly less familiar to a lot of people because he wasn’t a part of any major show continuity in the US. He was the big dog Decepticon in the Japanese series Super God Masterforce, and showed up a bit in some of the other Japanese only G1 shows. His other major role was as the protagonist in the popular IDW comic arc, The Last Stand of the Wreckers. In the original continuity he was a double Power Master. He had two Power Master figures who could slot […]
As sort of a last hurrah for the Michal Bay Transformers series, which is effectively done, Hasbro has been doing a sort of “greatest hits” line themed around the movies called Studio Series. It’s not a bunch of re-releases though, it’s new molds of most of the figures, with an emphasis on Robot Mode Scale. It’s also a way for Hasbro to give us better versions of a lot of characters who aren’t named Bumblebee or Optimus Prime. Often in the case of movie toys, for the sake of spoilers, […]
It seems like I should address this pretty big anniversary for this blog. Lameazoid.com, is twenty years old, more or less, today. I honestly don’t have the exact date for sure, but I do have an old copy of the original site that suggests it was created on 10/09/1998. More accurately, it’s predecessor, The Chaos Xone, was created on 10/09/1998. Back then it was just a random Geocities website. It didn’t really use a “Blog Engine” but it did use a “Blog format” of sorts, in the form of manually […]
So, I should preface a bit by saying, I am a very casual level player of Pokemon Go. I mean maybe I am overestimating the level of most players, but I often see people talking about burning through hundreds of Pokemon and eggs and stardust to maximize this or that. There are gyms an raids that I barely ever participate in. My interest in Pokemon Go extends mostly to “It’s Pokemon” because it’s not really Pokemon. It’s more, incentivized walking. Which is also why I care about Pokemon Go, at […]
Yeah, I skipped a few of these. I just didn’t really feel compelled to write much about the last few episodes. I really tried to like this, and really wanted to, and I was pretty excited to know there was an Inhumans movie/show coming for the longest time. The actual product was just so… underwhelming. I can retread some of the problems I’ve mentioned previously. The complete lack of super powers. The unlikable characters almost universally across the board. The constant retreading of the plot itself about oppression of the […]
An important character died in The Inhumans and I couldn’t come up with anything I felt like writing about and skipped it. Yet here I am again with another installment of The Gifted. One of the first thing that comes up is something I was left nagging at me from the last episode. Everyone returns to the base after the rescue, and Reed Strucker runs into Fade (the bartender) who immediately points out that Reed was working for Sentinel Services. This pretty much sets everyone on edge as they decide […]
So, I’m kind of a stupid sucker for this sort of thing. Kind of dumb movies based on dumb concepts. Monster Trucks really feels like one of those, in a meeting, guy says “What about, trucks, possessed by MONSTERS. And we could call it…. MONSTER TRUCKS. This is a Nickelodeon film and rated PG, so it’s pretty sanitary in it’s story and presentation. You’re not going to get much more than what you might expect. There’s quite a few faces that you’ll recognize in here as well, though the stars […]
Plot wise, this was certainly a pretty important episode but I can’t help but feel like it kind of stalled a bit in the first half, or more. Blink deals with the lingering fallout of the implanted memories, Eclipse meets with an old friend and interrogates a guy, the Strucker kids find a way to work together to focus Andy’s powers better. The ultimate goal is to hijack a convoy transporting Reed Strucker and Polaris between prisons. There’s a lot of lead up to the action at the end, but […]
