Before Shadow, we were going to get Terios
What do Sonic and Shadow have in common? They are both hedgehogs, and they're both super-fast. However, there's a saying that they look alike, but I beg to differ you can clearly see they are so different from each other. Almost like Sonic and Shadow balance each other out. One is Yin, the other is Yang. I wanted to know why the character Amy constantly mistakes Shadow for Sonic. And being a complete nerd, I did some research, and the reason behind this whole thing of Sonic and Shadow supposedly looking exactly alike is because of the prototype of the character Terios the hedgehog. That was designed to be Sonic’s rival, figuratively speaking. Shadow wasn't supposed to exist; he was a last-minute change. Here's what I mean: Terios is literally a replica, you could say a mirror, because his name, in Japanese, means "reflection" or "imitation". He is primarily known as a piece of "lost" Sonic history that reappeared as an unlockable skin for Shadow in Sonic x Shadow Generations, It's good to see the prototype actually got some time in the gaming, even though it was put back in storage.

Kenton of the Star Patrol: A review of Stories: Vampires of the Void, and Serein's of Space
In this episode of the 1950s Science Fiction Podcast, the host reviews two early 1950s pre-code comic stories featuring Wilson Keaton from "Star Patrol" in "Strange Worlds." In “Vampires of the Void,” Keaton battles Queen Misery, who uses humans to power her planet’s generators. In “Sirens of Space,” Keaton confronts a queen who hypnotizes and enslaves space liner passengers with her voice. Both stories highlight classic pulp sci-fi action, inventive villains, and pre-code comic edginess, while the host reflects on the era’s storytelling and ethical themes.

Wonderman
Okay so Wonderman was not a series I was excited for when it was announced. And there are many reasons for this, the biggest being that without his Wanda storyline Wonderman is a boring and irrelevant character. So when the premise of the show was announced I knew it was going to be better than I initially expected. Most of the feedback I've seen from the internet is positive. The only thing that raised a red flag for me is that people were glad all at once because they didn’t think it would work week to week. So if you are releasing a show and it “wouldnt work” in its intended format then you wrote a bad show. So that is one of the things I will be assessing.

Marty Supreme Movie Review
Since their breakout in 2017, the Safdie Brothers have specialised in smaller scale films with a razor-sharp edge. Their core formula involving placing morally dubious characters in dicey yet enthralling circumstances. This time Josh Safdie has struck out on his own with Marty Supreme, another brilliant showcase of the director’s talents.

My Top 25 Favorite Songs of All Time
#1 - I'll Fall With Your Knife by Peter Murphy I got a tattoo of some of the lyrics to this song: The words, "with a broken wing you sail," embedded in the wing of a red-tailed hawk. A song about unconditional love and devotion, this one still gives me chills every time the first few notes start playing. And Peter Murphy's hauntingly baritone voice is so soothing.

Power Rangers Review: "The Power Transfer"
The second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers definitely featured a lot of huge moments, almost too many to count. The season started with Lord Zedd becoming the new Big Bad, and later on, Tommy Oliver's Green Ranger days were officially numbered. We wouldn't be sans Tommy for long, as he returned as the White Ranger and the new leader of the Power Rangers.

My Top 10 Favorite Coldplay Songs
#1 - Fix You, Released 2005, X&Y Album Fix You is a song that is very near and dear to my heart. I learned to play it on the guitar when I was 12 years old and it was always one of my dad's favorites. It's a beautiful yet surreal song about offering support and guidance to those in the throws of grief. While the beginning alludes to feelings of regret and emotional exhaustion, trying your best but not succeeding, by the end, we are reminded to never give up. Healing and love can always be found, even in the darkest times, just know "lights will guide you home."
