Jack Red reviews Batman: The Enemy Within aka Batman Season 2

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I had a change in plans. Thankfully I quickly had a great back up plan. I went for Batman: The Enemy Within & BioShock: The Collection. I figured I wanted those for awhile now. BioShock had a great deal that I simply couldn't ignore. Honestly I spent most of one day playing Batman: The Enemy Within from the beginning all the way to the end.


It's been awhile since I talked about Telltale's previous Batman game. Speaking of them, they are officially back. I simply couldn't be any happier. OMG this Batman game really blew me away. I know a lot of people prefer season 1 over this. Batman: The Enemy Within played on what I love so much.

We got a lot more John Doe aka The Joker this time around. Some of your decisions determines stuff with one leading to which version of the character you'll end with. I felt the story is very well written. This made what I love so much from their similar games but also made it even more Batman. I am not going to lie I'm very impressed.

You get some big name villains like The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Bane and Mr. Freeze. I felt all these versions do stand out from many portrayals I seen over the years. Everything in every aspect of this game is absolutely incredibly well done. I can't even pick a single big problem with this game. This is hands down one of the absolute greatest Batman games I ever played.

I do think it could rival the first Arkham games in it's own right. Yes I know such a bold statement. Honestly they really stepped up their game making this. In fact knowing they have returned, I really would like a season 3 of this or at least season 2 of The Wolf Among Us. This is easily one of their greatest stories ever told period.

They surprisingly given us a very original Batman story that doesn't even feel like it was even inspired by the comic books. It really is that damn good folks. I also liked they made the puzzles easier to memorize including some death traps. The voice acting is very well done in my opinion. This is hands down one of my absolute favorite licensed, Telltale and especially Batman games.

A short break

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, this will be a short blog. Recently I gotten Game Pass now likely to get PlayStation subscription. I have decided until I finish playing most of the games I set out to do. Trust me I'm playing stuff I honestly didn't think I would get the chance to even play. I won't spoil anything but trust me I'm going to make a blog event about it.

Obviously I been writing a lot in the last few months. I got some stuff coming up within the next few months. I figured to carefully plan each upcoming review out but I'm also doing this like one whole set. Basically they will all by out at the same time. I am not kidding I'm going huge for this. I couldn't be any happier as a gamer as well as a fan of several mystery franchises.

Yes that's right you wouldn't even get a hint for what one of them is going to be. All you need to know is most of them will be played off Xbox One. But one select game is going to be played off PlayStation 4. One more thing, I'm not going to hide it anymore unrelated to this. I already going all in, Mortal Kombat 11 Deluxe Edition for Christmas.

This will not be a part of that set. But hell yes I'm going to play MK11 as soon as I get it. Yes it obviously will be getting a review as well. I really want to enjoy my gaming portion of life. I felt I got my own tastes that not everyone will fully get. But let's be honest some people got some weird taste in things no pun intended.

The problem with Dio Brando for Death Battle

This is my follow up to one of my favorite prediction blogs I wrote. I figured to quickly explain all the versions of Dio. Right before I give you an idea how these fights would play out. This will be a little lengthy blog, please take as many breaks as humanly possible.

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I already covered two of Hellsing's Alucard biggest requests. I felt a lot of people didn't realize Dio has more time lines than Alucard. You see Alucard is in two of them while there's a couple with Dio that gets rather confusing. I am not going to lie, after learning of the other versions, I was very surprised how different they were from each other.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2018/08/death-battle-fight-prediction-dio.html

Dio Brando (original time line, Part 1 & 3)

Dio grew up with his rival Jonathan Joestar. He became desperate to take out the Joestar bloodline. Dio became a vampire that was especially for the Joestar family. After an encounter that led to Jonathan's death. He spent a century to take over his deceased body. He attempts his goal again with several stand users that led to his demise.

Dio Brando (Jorge Joestar)

This version of Dio has some of what happened to the original time line Dio going for him. But it was Pillar Men Kars that transformed him into a vampire. He took time to further master The World's ability to stop time up to an hour. Also he is one of the very select handful of characters with Beyond. This allowed him to sorta has things happen for him simply not doing much.

In other words, he could have terrible things happening to you that he isn't even doing. This alone makes Jorge Joestar version more ridiculous. He is actually very close of being another Pillar Men himself rather than being an vampire. He also has the ability to Soul Splitting. Where he can put pieces of his souls into other people that eventually transforms them into another Dio.

Heaven Ascension Dio (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven)

This version of Dio is really broken. Let's put this in another way very late manga Alucard loses. He has an even stronger version of The World that can stop time as long as he wants. He also gain the ability to rewrite anything within any timeline except for changing his Stand's range. In other words, he could alter Alucard in a way he can die.

Heaven Ascension Dio can instantly regeneration like a particular Bleach character I really don't like. He also can teleport, resurrecting the dead, mind control, summon lightning bolts and dimensional travel. I believe the last time allows him to go into another universe. He has a mess up weakness, if two versions things or person can co-exist in the same dimension.

Essentially whatever is involved will collide and explode. This also means two versions of Dio could die at the same exact time with no way to escape it in time. This version of Dio obviously has superior stats to the original time line Dio even besting Jotaro from Part 4. Honestly this is easily the most ridiculous Dio goes.

Diego Brando (Steel Ball Run aka Part 7)

Here is the version that stands out like a sore thumb. Steel Ball Run aka Part 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has it's own version. He is an athlete that can be aggressive towards other racers. He has done some weird things too. Like he married an old woman for her wealth while racing in the Steel Ball Run for prestige.

Unlike most version of the characters, he isn't as a cold blooded killer. He distance himself from people due to tragedy. Despite that, he is still allows others to die for his gain. I should mention this version actually called Diego "Dio" Brando. Also unlike most versions, he has a different Stand. However how he got it is very different from the other versions.

Following Ferdinand's death, Diego can transform into a dinosaur through the power of the Saint's Left Eye. Oh it gets weirder than that, the official name for this Stand is are you ready for it? Scary Monsters, yeah probably wasn't the best name for it lol. He can infection other living beings to transform them including fleas into dinosaurs.

Diego can have a hybrid or complete dinosaur form. Considering he technically is his own Stand, he can harm other Stands directly unlike most Stand users. I told you this gets weirder people. Diego can use his transform to gain several advantages since he has complete control over the process. But his weirdest power actually involves his body doing it's own fossilization process.

This allows him to use it to make stuff like candle holders. Honestly I don't know much about this version of Dio. But wow he is a very different character surprisingly. Just imagine him fighting someone other than Alucard that could turn into a dinosaur, I got a few names too. Diego is probably the least evil out of all the versions in my opinion.

I will try to not repeat anything I said in the previous Dio vs. Alucard's verdict section to the best of my ability. I did notice some stuff recently I didn't know about when I originally wrote that. So I hope this could be the definitive conclusion to a well known anime battle. Honestly I'm just thankful to be writing this in general.

How would this affect the actual episode?


Keep in mind, Hellsing anime doesn't have Level 0 form. What I could conclude from all of this. Original time line & Jorge Joestar Dio can beat Alucard in a fight to the death. The original Dio can constantly keep using time stop to stay on top of Alucard. Jorge Joestar Dio likely needs to use it once to completely wipe out the souls from Alucard's soul.

Obviously he has more experience than Dio from Parts 1 & 3. Also considering he never got trapped inside a coffin for an century either means he has more actual training experience. A better way of thinking of this is we got Dio who can be broken to some degree on his own. Now we got a more experienced Dio that's capable of using time stop once doing possibly much more damage.

Technically speaking, his regeneration is superior to original time line Dio due to how he became a vampire. I hate to say it regardless which version of Alucard, Diego Brando takes on, he easily loses. His ability isn't capable of actually killing Alucard. Also due to some humanity he has, he is the most likely to throw in the towel.

I do need to bring up Dio from Parts 1 & 3 has an second Stand originally meant for his nemesis Jonathan. Which is surprisingly similar to Joseph's own Stand doing the exact same thing. Dio can use this Stand to get information he needs. Of course, he needs to piece some of it in his head first. Deep Purple doesn't flat out tell you what you need to know.

This leaves us with what sounds like the craziest fight but actually a surprisingly broken fight. Very late manga Alucard gain the power that Schrodinger. Which is essentially the power of being everywhere & nothing at once. This means for those don't understand. Alucard can literately be anywhere he wants instantly while doing the exact opposite being nowhere.

He still exists, this ability makes him virtually impossible to kill. However Heaven Ascension Dio can rewrite how an universe works. This alone is the very reason he wins against that version of Alucard. You see he could alter his powers or remove Schrodinger entirely reducing Alucard's chances at winning.

Not only that, if Schrodinger is no longer involved. Alucard has never shown any time related powers. So it is likely the moment Heaven Ascension Dio uses his time stop. It will be all over, he can not defend himself at all. It heavily implies Alucard's heart must be destroyed. So considering his own nature, he would likely target Alucard's heart to finish him off.

Level 0 releases all of his souls removes majority of Alucard's powers. Thus making him vulnerable to die. I felt three versions out of four can do him in. Let's be honest, Dio has can easily work around majority of them. So after activating Level 0 won't actually change this fight for him. Most versions of Dio has two or in the case of Heaven Ascension Dio of stopping Alucard from unleashing Level 0.

Sadly time stop doesn't fully stop someone from speaking. But Dio can decide to attack his coffin. Although he would need to know about it first. It is unlikely Alucard would be stupid enough to tell him. Now considering if he did know about it, Dio can prevent the coffin from opening in multiple ways.

Sun light doesn't actually weaken Alucard like while it is very fatal to most vampires like Dio. He also can't use The World without time stop to prevent exposure. Yet Dio is surprisingly the more unpredictable vampire in this fight. The fact he survived as a head attempting to get Jonathan's body while inside a coffin in the ocean for an century. Alucard did state being up during the day is exhausting.

Likely means Dio could survive the worst shots he could tank from Alucard. Including using his powers that often brought fear to most. Now considering the mask Dio wore that transformed into an vampire. He could increase his stats notably including regeneration by sucking the blood of an Joestar family member.

Last I checked, Alucard doesn't get a power boost like that from devouring souls. Just imagine for one moment if he had. He would've been too powerful for Dio to handle. Sadly that's not how it works. Alucard gains memories and abilities from those he devoured. Sometimes like a handful of people from Millennium maintains their arsenal.

Sure he can do a lot more in comparison. But Alucard tanks damage that goes towards those souls rather than himself. This also allows him to cheat death as many times as he wants as long he has souls. Even if Level 0 were not to be released, it could still take awhile like fighting any of the Homunculi from Fullmetal Alchemist.

It is only a matter of time before Alucard starts losing his powers. Dio held his own against several Stand users including Noriaki's Hierophant Green whose capable of some truly ridiculous stuff. This means Dio can handle most forms of Alucard at ease. Also one of the levels prior to level 0 brings darkness around his surrounding.

Obviously it doesn't fully cover the area but Dio still has to be carefully. Alucard can easily manipulate parts of it for dirty attacks. Thanks for The World, he or his Stand can easily stay on top of whatever he's doing. Yes I know this form usually gets stated to remain activated until the threat is deceased. Most people simply aren't capable of killing him while Dio could in vice versa.

Heaven Ascension Dio can flat out guarantee winning his fight while the other versions has to work for it. Thankfully for them, they can work around Alucard's powers. It is no secret Diego gets the bad end of the stick. Heaven Ascension Dio could only lose if two of something from several dimensions aka universes co-exists that touches him.

No Alucard can not recreate it enough to tricky his powers into destroying himself. Let's be more direct he simply won't get the chance to even attempt it. Obviously all major problems for two versions of Dio doesn't apply to Heaven Ascension Dio. Even if they did, he could simply rewrite it, the problem with that is it requires him to punch something in order for it to work.

Other than that, Dio in both blogs on the same fight debate just has what he needs to win. Now I know a lot of people are going to be like "Hell no Alucard is immortal, he can not die!!!" Honestly it does temporary showed a few parts where he actually threw in the towel. He later got convinced by Seras to finish off Nail of Helena Anderson.

In the case of Hellsing manga/anime versus Dio Brando from Parts 1 & 3 the winner is.

In the case of Hellsing manga/anime versus Dio Brando from Jorge Joestar light novel the winner is.


In the case of Hellsing manga/anime versus Diego Brando the winner is.

Finally in the case of Hellsing manga versus Heaven Ascension Dio the winner is.

PS. I really didn't want to do a fully covering over the other versions of Dio. But I felt I came close enough to make some people happy. You see with Alucard, the differences are really not that big while it quickly gets ridiculous in the case of Dio. Obviously Diego is very different from the other versions. I should mention something else, Dio in Part 3 has another Stand meant for predicting the future.

MK11 Kombat Pack thoughts & reaction

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I got a lot to cover about Mortal Kombat 11's Kombat Pack. I didn't do this on either Kombat Pack of the previous game. To be honest at the time, I had a lot going on. I did eventually review the game. Simply because my Christmas plan got changed, I can safely say officially I'm going for MK11 Deluxe Edition!!!


Shang Tsung stands out because the guy who played him a few times including the original live action movie reprises his role. I felt he really nailed the character perfectly even before they done this. I am very happy how they are currently treating him now. Shang Tsung is a fighter with thousands of souls that also can use magic.

Next up is fan favorite Nightwolf. Originally debuted in Mortal Kombat 3, this guy is close to his spirit animal. I felt Nightwolf will bring a variety of things with him. I am happier with his debut costume than I was expecting to be. Honestly this is one of his best looks yet. Nightwolf is easily a character a lot of people will enjoy.

OMG they are actually bringing in T-800 Terminator. I always been a huge Terminator fan for a long time. I was surprised he was in this Kombat Pack despite some rumors. You got a killing machine that's programmed with possibly thousands of ways to kill someone. Obviously they got the man himself who played more terminators than anyone else.

Sindel was queen to Edenia before Shao Kahn claim it for his own. From this moment, she became queen of his realm Outworld. At one point, her resurrection was the beginning of something unnatural. To sum it up, it was breaking the sacred rules of Mortal Kombat to steal Earth Realm. Sindel has a rather interesting look for this game.

WOW The Joker is finally getting much needed redemption. They already made it up on DC's side through Injustice series. It is about time, Mortal Kombat gets it's turn to fix the problem. I was already happy with the character in Injustice series, so I'm going to be very excited for this. I honestly am dying to play as him in another Mortal Kombat game soon.

Hell yeah Spawn is going to be exactly what this game needs. Spawn is a super hero with a similar origin to Marvel's Ghost Rider where both of them got their power from Hell. Just the customization alone on this guy is simply mind blowing. He is a god like being that for some reason so why wanted him in Injustice 2 but ultimately in this game instead.

This is the fourth console game by the team with DC's The Joker. I am very happy with how well selected these characters are. It is making me curious if they decide to do another Kombat Pack whose going to be in it and how many? I am really looking forward to play this game soon. I always have been a huge MK fan since my child hood, it just doesn't feel right not playing this.

Update: I apologize I didn't add certain details in. I had a busy day yesterday so I will edit in some of those. Kano was inspired by Terminator of The Terminator movie. So it is mind blowing both of them are in the same game. Speaking of Kano, his DC counterpart so happens to be The Joker. Yeah so we went from possibly fighting an alternate universe counterpart to the very thing that inspired him.

Spawn would mess well perfectly for those from Netherrealm aka Hell characters. He has been through Hell several times in the comics. Not to mention he was a guest character in two versions of Soulcalibur II. Spawn is easily one of the most awesome anti heroes of all time. This guy could handle the worst they can dish out.

I am glad Shang Tsung got his ability to morph into other characters back. He didn't have it for some reason in MK9. They really went the extra mile with him this time around. Mortal Kombat always has been unique including easter eggs you wouldn't expect. Since MKX now introduces character intros.

Obviously a lot of references will be added through these characters. Some users already leaked what Terminator likely will be saying in the game. To be honest, some of these are hilarious. I got to give them & Schwarzenegger credit for doing a joke directly towards him lol. I know some people wanted Ash to be in this, I do think the timing will be even better.

After all, a few months he got in Dead by Daylight. It makes sense they couldn't use him the same year. But I am very sure it will be well worth the wait. I felt MKX did a better job preventing people from spoiling the dlc fighters. Just imagine if someone hacked it prior to Alien announcement. A lot of people wouldn't be angry thankfully it wasn't.

Horror icons I would love to see in Dead by Daylight

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, wow they brought in a couple horror franchises to this multiplayer online game. Obviously everyone has their own list, they're likely going to be either slightly or very different. I figured since I always had a thing for horror movies as well as several horror shows. I should present some of my personal top choices I would love to see in Dead by Daylight.

Keep in mind, I am only numbering my choices so you'll know how many I thrown out there. This is no shape or form the actual ranking for these characters. Now with that being said I hope you enjoy what you'll see. Terror does have many forms, the question is what truly scares you?

1. Pinhead from Hellraiser series

I see a lot of people requesting for Pinhead to show up. Honestly I could see Doug Bradley getting involved especially if Clive Barker is involved. Those two are close friends for a long time. So I felt that by itself makes this a stronger possibility. Also we do need to literately bring Hell into the mix. I even got the perfect map for this.

I know by now using hospital or similar locations may cause people to lose interest. But how about parts of it that goes into Hell itself like the second Hellraiser movie. I could see them doing a lot with giving us a massive map. Obviously it will be cut down but just enough to still bring fear to people. Pinhead should be fun to play as.

I could see him being difficult to avoid due to his chains from Hell. I don't even care if they give us a female version of the character. Please don't give us either Pinhead characters from Hellraiser: Revelations. I also think getting the original actor voicing some of his lines would make this way better too.

2. The Tall Man from Phantasm series

This is the most mysterious I'm willing to go. The Tall Man was an entity from another plain of existence. He wants to conquer our world with an army of the undead. If you watch Stranger Things, it shouldn't much of a surprise what that reminds you of. Although the original Phantasm movie was late 70s.

This being appears as an older tall man wearing a suit for a funeral home. The Tall Man uses orbs that has it's own set of weapons. Obviously we need a funeral home with graveyard for a future map. This guy has a lot of powers too. I could even say he rivals Pinhead in a lot of ways. Honestly this could help get the last Phantasm movie's taste out of my mouth.

To be fair, the actor who played the character was a great actor. Personally I really would love it if they also give us Reggie too. Of course, he won't be coming with his custom shotgun. But that's two popular characters from the same franchise that would make a lot of people happy. The Tall Man is easily one of the strangest beings I ever heard of.

3. The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers series

The Creeper is a vampire like creature that devours people for several days. Until it goes into sleep lasting twenty three years. Usually doing all of this around Spring. I also see a lot of requests for this creature. Even if they don't give us a vampire as a killer, this would be the next best thing. I felt they could do a lot with this.

I think they could use that song within the game play too. It would be nice if his truck appears on the map. Honestly I'm not sure which location they'll go with. I am sure as long he stays a huge request, he'll come to the game soon. The Creeper can also fly that could be given to him to help him stand out more.

We have some killers that float a little off the ground as well as teleport a notable distance. So I felt something is wrong he can not fly. The Creeper could also stand out as an axe wielding killer. The sounds it makes would put chills down people's spine. However due to an incident with the movie Clown House, there's people still angry with the director.

So in that regard, I could understand we don't get the character. Sure it would be nice but they don't want to get sue over an angry crowd. Especially they been very careful with licensed stuff. This could destroy the possibility where it is right now a lot. I felt it is going to be mixed because of that. But I would love to play as him in this game.

4. The Thing from The Thing series

I'll actually name an creature that really puts chills down my spine. I'm not an easy guy to scare either. The Thing are shape shifting aliens that could mimic animals or humans to a degree. I am a huge fan of The Thing remake by John Carpenter easily one of my personal favorite horror movies as well my wife's.

There's just a lot of potential they could do with this creature. Honestly trying to break some of it down might not even be enough. It could disguise itself as a fellow survivor to get the drop on you. Originally I thought The Legion would do that but nope. I felt they have the balls to actually attempt the concept.

Also The Thing could easily have cosmetics making it even more disgusting or just plain terrifying to look at. I really hope a lot of people would love the idea enough to get behind it. Honestly it would bring paranoia, suspense and some creative game play. I really thought no alien creature including Xenomorphs deserves a spot in their game more than this.

5. Chucky from Child's Play/Chucky series

I also see a lot of requests for Chucky to make it into the game. To be fair thanks to Cult of Chucky, I really do see him bringing a lot with him. There's a chance they could actually give us old or new Chucky. I'm obvious a fan of the old one but I still haven't seen the remake yet. Honestly Chucky always been one of my absolute favorite killers in horror movie history.

This small guy has a lot of kills under his belt. They could bring in multiple Chucky dolls that could make it easier to stay on top of survivors. This alone could get around some rather annoying things survivors does. Chucky also could get some cosmetics to a degree. Maybe having it where both old & new Chucky shares a spot.

Honestly as long they don't make them two separate characters. I'm fine with this game having both Chucky characters. I highly respect both their voice actors too. Chucky would simply bring a lot including humor to this game. This is one of the select few horror icons, I would drop everything to get him on launch day.

6. Death from Final Destination series

I know a lot of people would question this choice for a lot of reasons. I just thought of something that would make playing as Death very interesting. In Final Destination series, Death couldn't just kill you. No he had to use what was around your surrounding to kill those who cheated death. Obviously this would be the most powerful being under The Entity if Death got in.

The big question is how should Death play in this game? Instead of how most killers plays, it is more of a trap simulator style game play. I know a game called Last Year: The Nightmare sorta does that. I felt since so many people are afraid of dying in general. Why not play to Final Destination series' strength by pulling that concept off.

Just imagine how terrifying it would be. You could see a larger portion of the map than the actual survivors. You also get more simple controls to stay on top of them. Considering there's a few trap based mechanics for a few killers. I do think they could pull off Death here. Hell I would honestly drop everything to get what I need to play as him on launch day I'm really not kidding.

I think the one thing they could do to make this even better is change some of it's rules. I know this may cause some to be upset. But unless Death could use something to force a nearby survivor on a hook. They might have to exclude them for his matches only. I also think by giving him a multiple choice for his mori would be sick.

Just imagine if you go in with any mori as an offering. When you get the chance, instead of just killing them like normal. You will get a few buttons on your screen. Each one represents a different death. This alone would make it a lot more like those movies. I actually can imagine this being truly sick, terrifying and maybe one of the most enjoyable killers in the entire game.

I know this would be difficult but don't allow us to fully see the entity either. I think seeing very little of what Death looks like would bring in more fear. Also they got a lot of locations to choose from as well. Not only that, there is a remake coming out soon by the makers of Saw series. So what better way to show respect then by bringing Death in.

Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things is Chapter XIII my reaction

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I will be honest in secret I'm watching Stranger Things. I'm two episodes away from being caught up. So I was surprised Dead by Daylight is bridging Stranger Things to the madness. I will talk about it more in detail, I got to make sure I don't say too much about the show. Especially those that hate spoilers in general.


Right now I'm debating to come back next month. It also depends on other things as well. But oh man I'm excited for this. They are bringing another plain of existence into The Entity. For those that don't know The Upside Down is a parallel world to ours that's very fitting for Dead by Daylight. To be honest, they picked the perfect choice for the killer as well as map.

I would go into details about how I felt about Nancy & Steve being the two new survivors. Thankfully earlier today, I made a meme. I did talk a little about this with my wife. She agrees Hopper should've been a survivor here. Honestly we finally get an non human killer. I don't want to jump the gun if they are using a deceased Demogorgon or an original one.

https://imgflip.com/i/38d7i6

Simply looking at our new survivors, it is looking like they could be getting the same treatment as Ash. Keep in mind, Stranger Things is an Netflix show while Ash vs. Evil Dead was an Starz show. Regardless, this show brings a lot of nostalgia especially those who grew up in the 80s. I can't judge it since I was born 1989 so I have to settle with the 90s.

This map is going to be interesting since this will be the underground portion of the location. This by itself brings a lot of things that needed to be in Dead by Daylight. I do enjoy this trailer a lot, I already been happy with this game most of the year, at this point it surprisingly kept getting better. Of course, this is a first time they introduce two survivors at once.

Technically they sorta done that with the killers before with The Legion. Whose essentially four people that agreed to fused into one killer. But this is a first since it's two licensed survivors together. I am hoping at least the theme song makes it into the game like Halloween theme. I loved hearing that theme around the same.

This is further making it a game worthy to play on Halloween. Dead by Daylight to me is having the best year so far. It already gave me one of my favorite killers in horror movies. Ash is one of my favorite survivors in anything horror. Now one of my favorite recent horror shows gets brought in. How can this get any better?

I know some people were a bit disappointed with the previous chapter. Honestly if they do stick with making a story mode. They got more freedom with his chapter than most of them. After all, Ghost Face came alone so they could come up with any scenario they wanted. Back to this chapter, bringing in The Upside Down by itself opens up more possibilities.

I am very sure The Demogorgon will bring out the fear in people. This also means if they could give us characters like Pinhead from Hellraiser series. Obviously bridging Hell to all of these different plain of existence connected together by The Entity. I still say Freddy is slightly more powerful But this creature is still impressive The Entity was able capture it.

I have a very great feeling this is going to be the best chapter of the year. Netflix is spoiling it's customers rotten. This will be one of the first video games to have Stranger Things too. Considering Saw Chapter finally gave justice to those movies because the actual movie tie games were terrible. Honestly I am dying to play as The Demogorgon against players soon.

My biggest Death Battle request

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, for years there's a particular request at times I throw out. I don't see a lot of people backing it. But I felt with the right things in place. It could be one of the best giant scale death battle fights that doesn't have mechs or giant monsters. Possibly my most difficult request to pull off.

A fight so massive I can't even cut it down enough for their official form to send it to them lol. I am actually not kidding. I am talking about a fight regardless how they go about making it will be incredibly difficult to pull off. By now you are curious to know what it is right? Losers Battle Royale, this fight will be redemption for someone who has loss on their show.


There must be rules to help cut the numbers down as well as keeping it fair. This needs to be almost like playing the perfect game of chess. Every piece needs to be in place correctly or it all falls apart. I put a lot of thoughts in that would make it entertaining. This also means we need to clarify the rules put in place for this battle royale.

I highly suggest the highest we could go is close by superman level characters. Although for this to work, no one on that level will be allowed. I am talking around Hulk or a little higher no more. This needs to be just the right level of balance. They could take extra time to add voice overs but it's a lot of action to cover for just one episode so who really knows.

Rules for Losers Battle Royale as they followed...
1. No character who has previous won & loss fights is not allowed
2. Characters more powerful than the highest allowed are also not allowed like Goku
3. No giant monsters or mechs
4. Characters with strict ways of killing/destroying like Majin Buu aren't allowed
5. No outside help for anyone in order to keep this fair for every fighter
6. Characters has to be worthy enough for another chance to fight
7. No neutral battle ground for anyone
8. A predetermine amount of fighters will be set for this battle royale
9. Characters that loss twice like Charizard or Shadow the Hedgehog are also not allowed
10. No machine characters are allowed like Sektor and Terminator
11. Characters with ridiculous regeneration aren't allowed like Deathstroke and Wolverine
12. No joke characters allowed like teen stars, Scratch and Grounder or Sheepman
13. If possible, another timeline that's more fair for the fighters will be used instead
14. Fighters are only allowed to use their arsenal
15. No possessing another character is allowed like Starscream and M. Bison
16. Those sharing the mantle of a character are also excluded
17. No character having a connection with a god is allowed
18. Transformations are fine as well it doesn't over the power limit
19. No reviving is allowed
20. No instant kill moves especially one blow techniques is allowed but finishers are okay

Believe it or not, this removes a lot of characters for this battle royale. This show is due for another huge scale fight with a lot of characters. I do believe this would work out a lot better than attempting a Winners Battle Royale. To clarify, a few years ago they stated they won't do that one. Honestly I felt this battle royale would be more entertaining as well as surprisingly.

Losers Battle Royale has the potential of possibly being their greatest fight ever made. Obviously I'll need a lot of people on board to help making this a reality. I can imagine a lot of insane possibilities with this particular fight beyond some of my craziest requests. I don't think any of those holds a torch to this.

Obviously that leaves us with a huge list of names for this battle royale. As long they don't rush this battle royale out, it should be absolutely amazing. This would be the very fight this show was meant to do. Losers Battle Royale is hands down my single craziest request for Ben & Chad to do. I possibly couldn't go any crazier than this.

This is the very request I want nearly as badly as Sweet Tooth vs. The Joker. It really needs to happen in the near future. Some of your favorite characters gets another shot at winning. The best part is the selection should be good enough to make up for several characters not being present. Also I felt that would've disappointed more people for Winners Battle Royale.

Even with these reasons, I felt people will be too critical about doing a Winners Battle Royale. Obviously their expectations won't be as high for Losers Battle Royale. Not only that they can do a lot more with it in the long run too. To me, this would be the perfect battle royale especially by the right animators.

Clearly one animator just isn't enough for this. They might get the entire animation team working on it. I do need to make one of my about rule #4 more clear. I do see a lot of people mistaking it for a lot of things. Nightmare/Inferno could only be destroyed by abyssal weapons. Lobo can only die by having his soul destroyed.

Obviously removing those characters makes this battle royale more fair. The last thing we need is one of those characters got allowed in the fight to essentially guarantee winning it. After all this was meant for all fighters getting another chance. Thus all of them must be able to die under the rules. They also need to hold their own against multiple opponents.

My thoughts on MediEvil 2

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, considering MediEvil remake is coming out in a few months. Also wrote a blog talking about the PS1 classic. I figured to conclude things for right now by talking about the sequel. This is currently the last game with Sir Daniel I played. I actually got a lot to say although this isn't going to be a review.


MediEvil 2 takes place five hundred years after Zarok's defeat. A man named Lord Palethorn gets his hands on Zarok's spell book. I swear Corpse Bride character Barkis Bittern was inspired by him. They added more interesting elements this time around. Like later on, you can go back in time to save your love interest from Jack the Ripper.

Yes this game does it's own take on the famous serial killer Jack the Ripper. Some levels has sections where you have to use hands. Sir Daniel can put his head on hands like on the PAL cover. You need to do this to fully explore the levels. This game does have a great variety of enemies with some of my favorite weapons.

They did change how you select levels, you get a small hub world where your allies are. Yes you can explore around, one level takes place there. Some boss fights does stand out mostly Iron Slugger being the most rememberable. Thus one boss fight turns it into a boxing match. Where you or him loses body parts with your head being the last one.

Unlike him, you do get a chance to regain lost limbs to help you in this boss fight. Of course, something I should've stated for my MediEvil 1 blog. So this is meant for both of them, Imps are annoying as hell. The sounds they make, sometimes they attempt to steal your weapons. You have a short period of time killing him or you'll lose it.

I can say they do offer better rewards for collecting chalices. Also MediEvil 2 does have some great voice acting. I will say it has some interesting level designs. I felt some bosses can be repetitive because how you do damage to them. You do get to fight Lord Palethorn's friends before the final boss. Oh man the final boss is easily one of my favorite MediEvil boss fights.

Before I describe it, I do have a confession. I mostly played the original with the cheat menu code, I mostly used it for MediEvil 2. They do bring some enemies back from the original like zombies & pumpkin creatures. This game does feel like a true sequel. Sure a few areas might not be as good but it is still a great game.

Demon is a powerful creature meant to bring forward the apocalypse. Sir Daniel was able to defeat this demon to saving the world. The ending ends up being one of the best I ever seen on PlayStation 1. After Demon falls on Lord Palethorn, he attempts to taking Sir Daniel with him but failed. He chose to enter eternity slumber with his girl friend.

Yes this skeleton knight gets a girl friend this time around named Princess Kiya whose a mummy. Yeah trying wrapping your head around that lol. Instead of the gargoyles, we get two new characters taking over their roles. Winston Chapelmount is a ghost that tells you information. The Spiv is this game's merchant that indirectly reminds me of Secret Squirrel.

Maybe that's because they both wear hats that opens up their coats just like that. Almost implying you know what we aren't going there. Instead of going to Hall of Heroes, you give the chalices to Professor Hamilton Kift. I felt I kinda prefer the map screen from the original more than it's level selection screen. Let's be honest, that map screen was beautifully done.

You get to see where exactly you're going making it feel more like a journey. Thankfully there is a saving system in place again. I do like it is easier to access the levels though. If there is one thing they did better it has to be the pictures representing the levels. Some of these sorta come off like horror movies in an sense.

MediEvil 2 doesn't fall far from the tree. It gives you most of what you love so much about the original. There's some great humor this time around. Some of the bosses to me stands out more especially Iron Slugger. They allow you to further explore the levels. You will get more satisfying chalice rewards. I felt some of the songs were among my favorites too.

Why Death Battle shouldn't do The Joker vs. Green Goblin?

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I know I been writing a lot about the web show Death Battle. I been considering doing a series that won't be done often for many reasons. But at the same time, I felt it is necessary since so many people doesn't know a good fight. Bias or not, you should still look into the other character even if you dislike em.

I kept seeing often a particular bad fight request I just needed to do a blog on. How many people on the internet will it take for this one to get your thin skulls? I am talking about another Marvel vs. DC fight that's not just a stomp but also simply unfair in it's own right. I'm talking about DC's The Joker versus Marvel's Green Goblin.

I won't be covering this like my usual prediction blogs since I felt you guys should just get the raw facts more directly. Also I felt if I were to treat this like one of those, it would be an insult to you all. So don't mind if I do as I will personally tell to please stop requesting this fight. In fact, there's a lot of debate videos that usually has Green Goblin.

So I felt it would be more than just wasting their staff's time & efforts. It is also wasting everyone else's time. This fight for me is way too clear cut for this to even be called a fight. This is more on the lines of a slaughter waiting to happen. Trust me when I say The Joker is screwed, there's no good scenario where he could come out on top.


Where to begin for such a horrible fight? In just comparing their arsenal, The Joker uses whatever he finds or built. Usually using stolen firearms, an bazooka and his own gadgets. The problem however is Green Goblin uses superior technology that was once used for the military. Thus it is leagues beyond anything The Joker has on him.

For example, sure The Joker could throw a grenade but you are still likely to survive. Even if you ended up on the bad edge of the stick. You still could have a chance to survive. But not from a pumpkin bomb that could kill several people with ease. Of course, we need to talk about his glider. This thing easily allows Green Goblin to have control over the fight at any time.

By default it is armed with missiles & blades. Green Goblin also has remote control that allows him to still use it while being off of his glider. Also The Joker won't be able to hit it with majority of it's weapons. Even if he got luck firing a rocket that hit it, I highly doubt that would be enough to stop it from working.

In just stats wise, this is a huge stomp in favor of Green Goblin. The Joker is actually weaker than an average people while Green Goblin has strength rivaling Spider-Man. At best could lift up to twenty five tons. Unlike The Joker, Green Goblin's suit also acts as armor that's durable to tank point blank explosion.

Now I know what some of you are probably thinking, "Couldn't The Joker use the Joker Venom to kill Green Goblin?" Well here is the thing a lot of people either don't know or doesn't even realize. Green Goblin's mask was designed with a gas filtering system that would prevent harmful gases. Thus he could breath it in but by the way it reaches his mouth becomes just palm air.

Sure The Joker is more unpredictable. But Green Goblin is also a genius that does have some of The Joker's traits. Such as building stuff, working with chemicals and a clever strategist in combat. Hell at times, they lead a group of super villains before. I highly doubt The Joker could manipulate Osborn to taking off his mask.

Even if he were, chances are Green Goblin already has a surprise waiting for The Joker. It is likely his glider with blades will fatally wound The Joker. Obviously The Joker has a long history with Batman. Who also has some similarities with Green Goblin. But the real problem is The Joker even with his plans doesn't really take anyone serious.

Sometimes he doesn't stick with his plans while Green Goblin is more of planner out of the two. To sum this up, The Joker in every sense of the word isn't able to do any real harm to Green Goblin. In vice versa, Green Goblin has plenty of options of killing The Joker. His mask prevents the Joker Venom from working.

His arsenal alone greatly trumps anything The Joker could get his hands on. His glider easily allows him control over the fight. This thing can be used in doors as well making this very difficult for The Joker. Green Goblin is very likely isn't going to be manipulated by The Joker. Hell he has proven to be a superior strategist in his own right while being more on superhuman levels in comparison.

Winner: Green Goblin


Now I do get why a lot of people are interested in this fight. Both of them wears purple & green that laughs like an maniac. They're both nemesis to an masked super hero. Obviously they done a few related fights like Bane vs. Venom & Batman Beyond vs. Spider-Man 2099. Clearly this is simply something that may sound great on paper but actually doing it is a horrible idea.

There's plenty of major differences between these two that already speak volumes before anyone speaks about it. The Joker is immune to all forms of toxic while Green Goblin got a lot more powers. The Joker uses whatever he finds while Norman built his own arsenal that was suppose to be for the military.

Even how they actually go about a fight is very differently. The Joker either doesn't put up a fight in some canons to being an excellent street fighter. Whom rivals Batman whose a black belt with a lot of fighting styles under his belt. Green Goblin easily has options to fight on the ground or in the air. The Joker simply didn't have enough options to deal with aerial combat.

At any given time, Green Goblin could quickly change up this fight. The Joker couldn't do anything to prevent that from happening. The Joker's fighting skills doesn't even matter because when a normal person punched Spider-Man, it actually broke their hand. Considering Green Goblin does scale to him in stats.

It is likely The Joker's punch will quickly come back to bite him. He can't even prevent being straggle to death or fight his way off of his hand. In just moving speed alone Green Goblin in two ways is simply too fast for The Joker to keep up. If this blog doesn't get you guys to stop requesting this fight, then seriously I feel sorry for you especially if it actually happens on their show.

Well oh okay DBX version I'm fine with but please don't make this an actual episode. It will likely be done in 2D animation. The Joker already had a great fight with Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth. Please don't ruin that by making this fight happening. Also Green Goblin does deserve respect but not like this.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Serpentera (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) vs. Mecha-King Ghidorah (Godzilla)

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I may just found a fight to possibly making one particular fan base happy. I got to be honest, I woke up this morning to quickly getting such an awesome fight idea in my mind. An idea so mind blowing, I had to quickly research it for my blog. So today I will be doing Serpentera versus Mecha-King Ghidorah.

Keep in mind, I have to talk about what Mecha-King Ghidorah was like before at times in this blog. I do realize that will make this a bit confusing to read. Trust me there's a great reason for it. Also you will be very surprised how this particular fight will play out. Oh man I'm getting very excited even before I let my research do the work.

Serpentera

Serpentera was Lord Zedd's personal zord. The most powerful recorded zord in existence. This thing could easily guarantee victory against it's enemies. Serpentera is simply ridiculous in every sense of the word. There isn't much direct information on this thing that could be seen as making it even more terrifying.

Mecha-King Ghidorah

King Ghidorah was created through deception by aliens to prevent the creation of Godzilla. This led to them causing Godzilla's creation to stop King Ghidorah. However in the distant future of year 2204, it's remains got transformed into a giant robot. Where it got sent back to the year 1992 to fight Godzilla.

Powers and Abilities
Serpentera


+Greatly physically stronger than the thunderzords
+Energy weaponry
+Shapeshifting (it has two main movement modes)
+Flight

Mecha-King Ghidorah


+Flies with an Anti-gravity at Mach 4
+Capable of firing beams from it's heads separately
+Capable of firing beams with all three heads
+Equipped with capture cables and a large machine hand restraint that can also discharge electricity
+Flight
+Using it's wings as a shield

Weaknesses
Serpentera

Keep in mind, there isn't that much known about Serpentera. Because of that, we don't know how much battle experience it actually has. It's insane size could work against itself during a fight. Although capable of destroying an planet, it will use a huge percentage of it's power. We don't know how much overall percentage of power actually goes into that attack.

Mecha-King Ghidorah

Originally a living creature prior to it's death. It became a giant robot that has to be piloted from the inside similar to Mechagodzilla. Some modifications are more likely to break than the actual parts of King Ghidorah. Although it isn't clear on how much energy it goes through in it's battle against Godzilla, it does have more attacks requiring electricity.

Advantages
Serpentera


+A lot bigger in size
+A lot heavier
+A lot faster in traveling speed
+Capable of destroying an planet
+Won majority of it's battles
+Lord Zedd & Goldar, two capable beings piloting this thing
+Has more experience against giant robots

Mecha-King Ghidorah


+More overall attacks
+Unlike Serpentera does have protection from damage with it's wings
+More confirmed battle experience
+Faster reflexes
+Nearly as durable as Godzilla
+Likely to get flying faster

Disadvantages
Serpentera


-I know this sounds like a broken record but using it's planet destruction attack uses a lot of energy
-Due to lack of information likely has less combat experience
-Has more sluggish movements, Mecha-King Ghidorah can take advantage of
-Not as durable in comparison
-More unpredictable
-More likely to retreat

Mecha-King Ghidorah


-Despite having more attacks, majority of it uses up electricity
-Like the actual creature, it's two remaining heads aren't protected by scales that can be exposed
-Goldar can force his entry inside to prevent Mecha-King Ghidorah from fighting
-It is likely Serpentera's planetary attack will destroy him
-Won't be able to push or attempt lifting Serpentera
-Likely struggle to keep hold of Serpentera
-More predictable

Verdict


Honestly I'm just as surprised as you are. Just imagine two mechanical dragons going at it. A slight possibility of moving to another planet. Sadly for Mecha-King Ghidorah, there's several major problems. Like majority of it's attacks requires electricity. More likely to use up too much or take enough damage to being unable to save itself.

Especially if Serpentera uses it's planetary attack. There's a particular episode in Season 2 that's also adapted in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie game on Sega Genesis. This attack quickly destroyed an deserted planet. The real questions about Mecha-King Ghidorah are the following. Could it escape in time from any planet's destruction?

Although Mecha-King Ghidorah can start flying faster in comparison. It still wouldn't be able to escape in time. Sadly for Mecha-King Ghidorah lacks a good enough defense to survive such an explosion. The second question is could Mecha-King Ghidorah prevent this attack from happening? Once again no for many great reasons.

For starters, the way this attack is performed would most likely caught Mecha-King Ghidorah off guard. Also even if it knew that attack was coming. Lord Zedd would likely to send Goldar into Mecha-King Ghidorah to prevent it from escaping or fighting back. Goldar is simply too much for a regular human to handle despite being a coward himself.

Goldar has a long history fighting against the power rangers including against their zords. He was stated being able to turn into a giant. Although Rita & Lord Zedd could make the process happen faster. Thus this could suddenly becomes a two on one fight. Also Goldar has experience piloting a few zords if you count a comic book series to help in Serpentera's favor.

The worst case scenario being Lord Zedd could get angry to use dirty tactics. Although he likely won't use some of them being aboard of Serpentera. He could still directly attack Mecha-King Ghidorah with his power. Keep in mind, Lord Zedd himself destroyed majority of the Dinozords. This means he could do some damage to Mecha-King Ghidorah.

Especially if he or Goldar notice a weak point to strike. For example, he could attack it's heads taking at best two of them out. Now this would've worked very different with an actual living King Ghidorah. However it's necks are still a weak point for them to expose. This also could affect some of it's arsenal as well.

Sure Mecha-King Ghidorah has better movement speed but both Goldar & Lord Zedd are capable of keeping up with the power rangers. Who are clearly on early superhuman level in comparison to a regular human pilot inside Mecha-King Ghidorah. I should mention, both Goldar & Lord Zedd greatly trump in experience as well.

Lord Zedd does have some god like abilities that makes it even more difficult for Mecha-King Ghidorah to win. Of course I still need to talk about the height advantage. Mecha-King Ghidorah stands at one hundred fifty meters while Serpentera trumps at at three hundred forty five meters. Mecha-King Ghidorah weights in at 80,000 tons compared to Serpentera's 500,000 tons.

Serpentera is over five times heavier than Mecha-King Ghidorah. Obvously Mecha-King Ghidorah can lift Godzilla whose stands in that time line to being 60,000 tons. Still a lot of weight but not nearly enough to lift Serpentera. I should mention something else, it doesn't specify how far that deserted planet was from the Earth's moon.

It is likely Lord Zedd traveled a massive distance in a short period of time. Keep in mind, the power rangers were on that planet to obtain an sword. So in actual flight traveling speed it could go around or above the Speed of Light clearly a lot faster than what Mecha-King Ghidorah can travel. I felt this is still a better fight than most of the fights Death Battle given the power rangers truthfully.

Serpentera does have a history of retreating. But that's mostly due to being low on energy. Not what the power rangers was doing. In a few Power Rangers shows, it held it's own well against their zords. So it does have experience battling giant robots while Mecha-King Ghidorah doesn't have as much. Also this thing was able to survive a planet explosion at point blank range.

King Ghidorah was easily Godzilla's toughest enemy for many great reasons. I am not trying to under sell Mecha-King Ghidorah in any sense of the word. It is just Serpentera obviously has superior overall stats. An attack too powerful for even it's wing defense couldn't handle. The fact after using that attack didn't prevent Serpentera returning to the moon means it only used a small fraction of it's power.

Winner: Serpentera

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Dragonzord (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) vs. Mechagodzilla (Godzilla) Follow Up

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I'm doing something very different even among my Death Battle blogs. I am going to do a direct continuation to a previous fight prediction blog. But to help cut down on the length I will be posting a link down below... Now I just want to clarify Ben did state Mechagodzilla in the upcoming episode will be Kiryu model that's in a few movies.

I figured I could quickly do covering just that model. I won't be changing much of my important info. I just wanted to make this version that only covered one model instead of originally combining them all together. Also by doing that does help me be able to speed right through with this version of the same fight debate.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2019/07/death-battle-fight-prediction.html
https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/8e51g5/respect_kiryu_godzilla/

Kiryu aka Millennium Mechagodzilla aka Mechagodzilla 3

Kiryu was built on a set of Godzilla's skeleton. This model was truly meant to take down Godzilla. Due to that skeleton, it's spirit still present. This particular model held it's own against some of Godzilla's enemies including King Ghidorah.

Powers and Abilities


+Twin Master Cannon
+Railguns
+Maser Blade
+Back Unit
+Multiple Interlocking Rockets
+Multipurpose Guided Missiles
+Absolute Zero Cannon
+Anti-Beast Drilling Device (Spiral Claw)
+Triple Hyper Maser Cannon
+Wire
+Having movements similar to Godzilla
+Flight

Weaknesses

Using Absolute Zero Cannon takes 40% of his energy. Due to being attached to a skeleton of Godzilla. Sometimes the spirit takes controls away from it's pilots. Even without using Absolute Zero Cannon, it can stay operational for two hours.

Advantages


+Superior durability
+Superior speed
+Superior strength doing several physical things to Godzilla
+A lot heavier in comparison
+Holds up better in combat
+More of an arsenal
+Absolute Zero Cannon is a game over
+By having flight allows him more control over the battle
+Although done away from fights, he can get recharged

Disadvantages


-Does rely heavily on it's arsenal
-Sometimes the spirit can steal control away from it's pilots
-It can take a while for Kiryu to get recharged
-Kiryu has more complex controls than Dragonzord
-While in flight mode could be open to some of it's attacks
-Some of it's arsenal could cause Kiryu to flatter briefly

Verdict

Let's be honest Dragonzord doesn't do well in combat. I can't even give it the win over White Tigerzord because that wasn't done by Tommy. It was an evil clone with a few factors that cheated the fight. Otherwise, White Tigerzord would've easily won that fight. Most of it's actual victories required help from the other rangers.

By default, Dragonzord never finished off a monster on it's own. Kiryu held it's own several times against the King of the Monsters. He was able to keep up with several giant monsters at once. Now those monsters has some impressive feats of their own that even blows away the best Dragonzord fought.

Obviously the pilots for Kiryu are more experienced. Dragonzord will lose some attacks to get more through out it's transformations while Kiryu has all of it's arsenal by default. Speaking of that, I came across a major weight difference that does also affect height to a degree. Only in Ultrazord, it is actually taller than Kiryu.

But weight wise is a different story. Ultrazord is around 1250 tons to 36,000 tons unless wearing it's battle gear. Thus increasing it's insane weight to 40,000 tons. Now that's a little over twenty six times heavier than Ultrazord. Obviously majority of what Dragonzord faces is a lot lighter in comparison. I do need to mention Absolute Zero Cannon.

You can't go any colder in temperature than absolute zero. Zords have tanked all kinds of attacks in just Season 1 including being frozen in their zords. It never stated how cold those attacks are. We simply see it working stopping them in their tracks. Absolute zero would've guarantee their defeat in comparison with not enough time to avoid at all.

Sure it will take 40% of it's overall power to fire. But Dragonzord in any of it's forms will lose speed as more zords gets combined. Thus making Ultrazord easily the worst possible move for them. It doesn't help it's main form of an attack is fire every weapon until a monster is destroyed. Yeah about that, Kiryu was durable enough to withstand even point blank Godzilla's Atomic Breath.

A small fraction of that force would've made the power rangers leave their zords. Speaking of that, they also have a history of getting over whelmed in even zord battles just from constant attacks. Sadly for them, Kiryu has plenty to do that same strategy. Even if it somehow ran out of ammo, low on energy & some of it's weapons are either damaged or destroyed.

Kiryu was capable of throwing, pushing & punching Godzilla with it's sheer strength alone. As for speed, Kiryu especially in the comics has some truly impressive feats. Yes some of them did require it's ability to fly. But it is technically faster than any of the zords separately. Ultrazord's attacks simply wouldn't be effective enough to do any real damage to Kiryu even if it chose to do nothing.

Obviously Dragonzord doesn't have as close as many battles as the other zords. But it does still scale to them in majority of what really matters. Hell Kiryu could easily break the stronger forms apart with it's mechanical hands. Of course I should mention Tommy does have an alternate method of controlling Dragonzord.

I felt with some of Kiryu's arsenal, it likely will be loud enough to prevent Dragonzord from listening to that dagger. I still need to bring up what would happen if the spirit took control of Kiryu. Obviously it will act like another Godzilla with some notable upgrades. So considering in more ways than one, he scales to Godzilla.

Godzilla has a lot of victories even against several enemies at once. I would say Dragonzord is really in trouble here. I don't think Kiryu losing control will be it's down fall. It is more likely going to be just that for Dragonzord. Now to further confirm all of this, Dragonzord was present in both battles against Cyclopsis.

This evil zord was piloted by Goldar that dominated them so badly. In both encounters, the only way they won was through Ultrazord. This means Kiryu will clearly be even too much for that. I think the best way of summing how this will play out is no matter what Dragonzord does. Kiryu is simply too much for even Ultrazord.

To clarify, Ultrazord never officially loss during Season 1. It would make sense than everything else fails. They quickly go that route. The big problem however is not once during Season 1, Tommy called the zords. Most of the time, they were close by anyway. Even if he had at least once called the zords.

I highly doubt that would even matter in this particular fight. Dragonzord obviously doesn't have the level of strength Megazord itself has. Dragonzord does have a mind of it's own but likely lead to it's own destruction. It is only faster than Megazord because it just a zord. Even if I went more details about Dragonzord Battle Mode or Mega Dragonzord.

Mega Dragonzord doesn't usually move much during fights. Dragonzord Battle Mode still would have help from red ranger's Tyrannosaurus Dinozord. Again that still simply not enough to overcome anything Kiryu could possibly do. Kiryu's durability does rival Godzilla's to some degree as well. It likely could tank it's own projectiles or fists with no problem.

Hell there is proof Kiryu can tank much more powerful force. Like the time it was fighting close by a black hole. Yes I am actually not making this up. One of the most powerful forces in the universe with no real problem. Eventually it took out Kiryu but after two monsters got defeated by being forced inside of the black hole.

The fact this even happened in the comics. This is by itself beyond anything of the worst scenarios the rangers themselves fought through. I am really convinced Dragonzord will not win the upcoming episode. I'm still not done yet, the fact Kiryu does comes back upgraded at times does display it becoming stronger.

While you really don't notice the power increase much in all of Dragonzord forms. I should mention the elephant in the room, Kiryu actually got victories under it's belt. Thus has proven to be one of Godzilla's deadliest enemies. Dragonzord usually struggles worse than Megazord in majority of fights they're both in.

Winner: Kiryu

Why I am excited for MediEvil Remake?

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I grew up with both PS1 MediEvil games. Now for their time they were very different from most horror game. Trust me I'll explain it in more details. I felt before stuff starts getting busy for awhile. I should talk about a particular PS1 classic I remember heavily to this very day.


MediEvil was inspired by Capcom's Ghouls n Ghost as well as Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. As a kid, Nightmare Before Christmas left a huge impression on me for years. Of course, I do get to play MediEvil on PlayStation 1 often as a kid. It plays like an horror theme action adventure game.

Sometimes you need to use your head to figure out puzzles or survive in difficult sections. The difficulty will spike but not badly enough to hurt the experience. There's a great variety of enemies in this game. I really loved how beautifully done the map screen is. Almost every level is connected with one being hidden in another level.

The story is Sir Daniel Fortesque died while his army took on the sorcerer Zarok. When the sorcerer casts a spell at a graveyard, it woke Sir Daniel from his eternal slumber. Thus he is on a journey to stopping Zarok. Sure some might consider Sir Daniel's voice acting kinda strange. You got to consider he is missing his lower jaw lol.

Some levels you have to revisit because previously you couldn't enter sections. Either requiring a key item or weapon. There's a great variety of weapons including one of his arms I'm not kidding. You can kill enough enemies to fill up the chalice to gain access to the Hall of Heroes. Where one of it's heroes not only talks to you but also gives you something helpful.

It is required to get all of these for the best ending. There's a lot of variety in where you get to explore. There's a level you have to avoid killing people whose been turned into zombies. No not those zombies, the other one where they're being manipulated to attack you. The game actually tells you not to kill them since they're souls becomes loss if you do.

Some of the cut scenes are still chilling to this day. I remember the scarecrow cut scene used to get me the creeps. I liked how this game doesn't change too much in the long run. MediEvil has an appeal that a lot of people could enjoy. It never was meant to be scary, in fact it does have some humor too. You can buy stuff from the other gargoyle in some of the levels.

The default gargoyle tells you information you will need to know. Yes you can skip the dialogue but be warned some levels can be tricky. Like a swamp level that can lead to several levels. I was able to get far enough to say I love this game. It made a great use out of saving your process. Trust me some of these levels will take you awhile to get through.

There's a particular level about riddles aka doing puzzles. It starts out simple but it gets trickier as it goes on. I used to spent hours being stuck on this level. Thankfully it doesn't have a boss fight. Some levels are some you been to before with some changes like the graveyard. I liked how the bosses has a similar health bar to you including a picture of themselves.

This tells you how close you are being them. I also liked you get these potions that do act like extra lives. You can find them, buy em or go to areas with a moving green gust. But the last option will work until it runs out or your potions gets refilled. Some levels it is crucial to have those potions to survive.

Some levels requires going through multiple paths for particular items. MediEvil is surprisingly kind about how to deal with some hazards like broken glass pieces. You could get a club or hammer to slam em. Some areas might be a little difficult to see with little to no light. Thankfully the game does have ways of fixing that problem.

You can get your club caught on fire that works very well. MediEvil successfully combines Ghouls n Ghosts with Nightmare Before Christmas. You have a knight similar to Arthur from that series taking on all kind of creatures with the overall horror feel. Plus Sir Daniel is a skeleton like Jack Skellington.

These levels do look like something right out of that movie. There is some great voice acting in this game too. You can replay levels to learn them better or getting chalices or practicing strategies for later ones. This game has so much to offer, I would've been upset if Mini PlayStation console didn't include it.

MediEvil is an unique classic that more people should play. The character designs alone sold me on this game. I always respected it's sound effects & soundtrack, both of those are very good for PS1 standards. This game does an amazing job pulling you right in. It doesn't have any real problems to get in the way.

Sadly I missed out on MediEvil: Resurrection on PSP. I am very excited to own an PS4 to play several games including MediEvil Remake. I would say I was almost as excited for it as RE2 Remake. I felt if it doesn't suck, it will likely have a similar reception to both Crash & Spyro trilogies remastered.

All the fights on Death Battle I personally don't care who won so far in a good way

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I figured this in a way has been a long time coming. I never fully considered all the fights I didn't care who won in regards to liking both characters so much. Honestly if more fans talked about a difficult topic like this. I felt more of how they view the show is more clear than simply some coming really bias no matter what's presented to them.

I am going to talk about every episode currently I felt I don't care who won for my own reasons. This isn't to further justify any of these victories. I am making this to show how much I do enjoy this show even after some okay episodes at times. I won't be listing many Marvel vs. DC fights either. Let's be honest I speak for a lot of us fans, we had enough please give us more original fights.

1. Leonardo vs. Zitz (Season 1)

Leonardo vs. Zitz are both leaders of their own young mutant teams capable of handling anything. Leonardo is the first two time winner on the show. Honestly I felt he would have a more difficult time taking on Zitz than his own brothers. In a way, both of them are two different takes of the same concept.

Thus you kinda have to like them both for that same reason. The turtles has obviously a lot more to go on. Battletoads was it's best competition since they didn't focus mostly on making an cartoon like most of them. They chose to go straight for where they used to be great at in video games. Zitz is one of my favorite characters from his franchise.

Leonardo is more of what you would expect from a leader. But Zitz has a rather interesting way of leading his team. Their origin stories are still some of the strangest to date. I felt this was easily one of the best fights for both characters. They both had great advantages over each other making it difficult to determining a winner.

2. Deathstroke vs. Deadpool (Season 2)

I always been a huge fan of this particular episode. I'm also a huge fan of these characters. Deathstroke is in every sense of the word very good at what he does. He is an legendary assassin that's very difficult to take down. I would even dare to say has one of the most suits in the entire DC multiverse.

Obviously Deadpool is a little more than a parody of DC's Deathstroke. Despite a few major things they both have in common. Deadpool is more of an hero character while Deathstroke more use of being an villain. Deathstroke is one of the greatest Teen Titans enemies. Deadpool did join an X-Men group called X-Force.

We got a deadly serious character you really don't want to piss off. On the other hand, we got a broken character in many ways. His regeneration is stated to be superior than Wolverine's. He can break the fourth wall at ease. Deadpool isn't even restricted to wherever he is allowing him to do some ridiculous stuff.

Deep down you have to be a fan of both characters since one was inspired by the other character. I find both of them very entertaining in their own right. Two of the greatest assassins in fictional history. I still prefer Deathstroke's sword over Deadpool's swords. I am happy Deathstroke is getting more attention than he was a few years ago.

3. Guts vs. Nightmare (Season 2)

I remember Ben asked on twitter a few years ago, "Who should face Guts between Siegfried & Nightmare on Death Battle?" Honestly I already knew my answer. I really went out of my way trying to convince people Nightmare would be more of a challenge for him. Keep in mind, I didn't know anything about Guts at the time.

When we were getting closer to the actual episode's release. I was quickly reading Berserk from the beginning. Yes I was paying close attention to what I was reading. I quickly became a fan of it, Guts is one of my absolute favorite Berserk characters. This is more than a ridiculously huge sword battle. We got a man whose been through Hell literately.

Nightmare is an physical representation of the legendary weapon Soul Edge. This occurred when it tricked a young knight named Siegfied to wield it to transform him into a monster. At some point, Siegfried became freed from it. I believe it was Zasamel who created a new body for Nightmare. Inferno is essentially the evil spirit of Soul Edge itself.

We got a man whose cunning in his own right that's insanely tough going against a god like being. The Dragonslayer became a weapon capable of killing even abyssal beings after killing enough evil spirits. I know that by itself is difficult to imagine. I don't even need to bring up Night Terror form. I felt this episode was meant to go into a dark place that was more than fitting for these two.

4. Darth Vader vs. Dr. Doom (Season 2)

I requested this fight like many people did. I quickly realized it was going to be a stomp. I didn't really care because I really like both these characters. Even if the rumor about Dr. Doom isn't true. There are some strong similarities between these two that can't be ignored. We got a former jedi whose one of the most powerful sith lords there is.

Dr. Doom is rather unique even for a comic book villain. A concept that shouldn't work that he himself perfected. I am talking about him using both scientist & magic rivaling some of the finest in both categories. Obviously they're both menacing rulers that will do anything to get what they want. Even in Darth Vader's condition, he held his own against some of the finest in the universe.

This is more of using the force no pun intended against magic while willpower being a factor. We got two guys scarred in different ways that wears a particular suit to quickly become terrifying to their enemies. I really want Dr. Doom in particular to finally get a proper live action portrayal soon. Seriously the new Fantastic Four movie sucks.

5. The Joker vs. Sweet Tooth (Season 3)

Everyone has a particular dream fight they always wanted to see above any other fight. For me for the longest time no other fight fit the bill more than this one. I once wrote a prediction blog that quickly exploded on the internet. Honestly we got two evil clowns that's all about death & destruction. I would dare to say they really got a lot in common.

In fact, enough to easily make a few blogs about it if I really wanted to go that route. It is no question they are parallel to each other. Sweet Tooth is a serial killer having no remorse for his actions. The Joker is more about chaos in general. He is willing to use such dirty tricks to screw over anyone. Obviously these two were meant to fight each other.

It is very clear Sweet Tooth drives a customized ice cream truck. The Joker doesn't have a set vehicle although I'm glad they used his version of the Batmobile from Arkham Knight. I really love everything about this episode. I figured how The Joker was going to win. Honestly the voice acting alone was one of my personal favorites to this day.

6. Hulk vs. Doomsday (Season 3)

OMG these two are legendary powerhouse characters. Of course I really wanted to see this fight. Hulk has some impressive feats so does Doomsday. You really can't blame many people getting this one wrong. Two of the strongest beings that aren't gods in their respective universes. In their own way, they adapt quickly to any situation.

Hulk has to be alive while Doomsday is more of his death state. Whatever harms or kills him, he becomes more resistance to immune altogether. Hulk has held his own even as World Breaker Hulk against a lot of big name characters. The same can be said for Doomsday. I personally consider Doomsday as one of the scariest DC characters ever.

Hulk's powers centers around anger as well as other bad emotions while Doomsday acts purely on instincts. Although they could do a different take of this same fight for a different outcome. I still think in a weird way Doomsday would still win in both characters having intelligence version. Doomsday is ridiculous in what he can do.

7. Venom vs. Bane (Season 4)

I always been a huge fan of both these characters. To be honest, both of them more recently grew on me. I knew about them from their 90s cartoons. But they do have a lot of strange things in common like the episode stated. They act like arch rivals to their respective superheroes. Thus challenging them in both intelligence as well as physical strength.

There is no question Bane was more of a strategist out of these two. I already knew how one sided this fight actually is. I still didn't care because I am just glad both of them got on their show. Venom is easily one of the worst Spider-Man villains due to sharing some abilities as well as immunity to the Spidey sense.

My only real problem with Bane is how DC portrayed him over the years. There seems to be two versions of him. The more strategist character & the version to quickly gets close to overdosing on Venom. I meant his specialize steroid mixture you sick bastards lol. I am glad Death Battle gave Bane proper respect here.

8. Metal Sonic vs. Zero (Season 4)

Although I was annoyed what led to this episode happening. I was still happy to see it especially more recently. I gotten both Mega Man X Legacy Collection games for Christmas. I almost finished all of the games. I already knew Zero was going to be one of my favorite characters. I always been a Metal Sonic fan.

For me there really isn't any hard feelings. Zero clearly had what was needed to take him down. We got both mad scientists greatest creations going at it. In their own way, both of them are unique even for robot characters. Zero has a more strict usage of abilities from other robots while Metal Sonic can instantly copy abilities & stats from whatever he scans.

Let's be honest, Metal Sonic isn't that different from Sigma. I will say this episode was done just right for my taste. It is a great follow up episode that easily can stand on it's own. I would even say it is better than Eggman vs. Wily episode I'm not kidding. Both of them are very amazing in what they can do.

9. Sephiroth vs. Vergil (Season 4)

I became a fan of Sephiroth through a friend of mine. I'm a huge Devil May Cry fan for several years. I may not be a fan of Final Fantasy but Sephiroth earned my respect. This guy isn't just powerful but also has an interesting story. Sure his beliefs does take a little away from the character. At the same time, Sephiroth is easily one of the franchise's greatest villains.

I could argue a similar point about Vergil whose similar in stats to his twin brother Dante. Although the fight wasn't as long or exciting as Dante vs. Bayonetta. I felt some of the animation here was more impressive. Vergil is easily one of the strongest Devil May Cry characters. Sure he loss to Mundus but everything else he can handle.

In a strange way, these two are strikingly similar. Both of them are excellent swordsmen with additional arsenal meant for close range. Well oh okay, Sephiroth does have his Supernova summon. Clearly they're both great strategists that are capable of handling anything. They both use a particular energy to do their bigger moves.

10. Jotaro Kujo vs. Kenshiro (Season 5)

I became a fan of Kenshiro through the same friend who helped with my Dragonzord vs. Mechagodzilla prediction blog. Kenshiro was essentially One Punch Man before there was one lol. This guy is one of the most broken anime characters I ever heard of. The last few years, I been watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that's airing on Toonami.

I quickly became a fan to search for the OVA series based on Part 3. Jotaro Kujo is easily one of my favorite characters in that franchise. In their own right, both of them are pretty ridiculous characters. Kenshiro can tank even fatal wounds with no problem as well as erasing people out of existence. Jotaro can attack as well as reaction rapidly fast that also can time stop.

Yes Jotaro can actually stop time for a few seconds. This fight is more interesting than it appears to be. Obviously they act very similar in a lot of ways. I do have a lot of respect for both these characters. Sure I'm a bigger Jotaro Kujo fan but I knew closer to the episode's release, he was going to lose.

11. Leon S. Kennedy vs. Frank West (Season 5)
This is one of the select few DB episodes I instantly knew who was going to win. I don't have anyone in the inside to give me that information if that's what you were thinking. I always been a huge fan of Resident Evil & Dead Rising respectively. I really knew both these characters very well. In their own way, these zombie slayers are widely known for thinking fast on their feet.

Obviously with Dead Rising 4 coughs not a great game. Frank was given some of his more ridiculous part of his arsenal in the fight. Honestly I was very happy they chose to do that. I felt Leon could easily handle whatever Frank can make on the fly. Just think if this was made prior to Dead Rising 4, Frank probably wouldn't be allowed to create em at all.

Clearly these two been through several outbreaks themselves. Frank has covered wars you know lol. Frank is more use of dealing with crazy people than Leon. But Leon has fought things Frank probably wouldn't survive against. Regardless, these two quickly earn my respect from just their first game appearance.

12. Carnage vs. Lucy (Season 5)

I am not even upset my prediction was wrong. I was just proud to see both of them on their show. Especially in Lucy's case, a friend of mine realized majority of their viewers at the time didn't know her. Although I can't be surprised by that since Elfen Lied is a violent anime with a limited way of getting it's DVDs.

It is so violent, they had to fit as much they could from the manga into the last few episodes. Honestly I felt they did a great job. In a sense, they're both multiple characters in one. Carnage is the symbiote with serial killer Cletus Kasady. Lucy has a few personalities due to her past as well a strong shot to the head.

Let's be honest, both of them are essentially monsters. They can easily kill people without trying. I liked they even had the balls to do a fight like this. This is an unique fight even for their show. I knew for years the guys behind the show really wanted Carnage on there. This was more surprising than having Guts from Berserk I'm not kidding.

13. Ultron vs. Sigma (Season 5)

I am well aware so many people wanted Ultron vs. Brainiac. I felt this was the more exciting fight for Ultron. This alone can go slightly more directions. Like neither was actually restricted to just one body. I loved they played on that very concept. A lot of us knew the true battle was a digital one. These two are very similar characters.

Sigma is easily one of my favorite Mega Man villains in the entire Mega Man franchise. Ultron would be that in the entire Marvel universe. I really enjoyed this particular episode more than I thought I would. Both of them were able conquering the world but Ultron has more impressive feats. I will say Sigma was a great opponent for him.

The animation for this fight alone was one of my favorites of Season 5. This is one of the few DB episodes majority heavily went towards a particular character. There was so little arguments in the actual comments too. To be honest, this was a rather interesting fight this show needed for several years.

14. Thanos vs. Darkseid (Season 5)

Hell yeah we doesn't want to see this fight. On paper as well as first saw it looks like the perfect fight. Sadly it was a massively stomp. Honestly I didn't care it was a stomp or a great fight. I am really glad both characters made it to their show. Both of them are among my favorite villains in their respective universes.

Thanos was actually inspired by DC's Darkseid. Thus is why the similarities between these two being so big. Sure I'm a bigger fan of Thanos but my friend told me some mind blowing stuff about Darkseid. I bet majority didn't even think the actual god Darkseid was that powerful. Clearly we got to the power limit of their show unless they can somehow use a more insanely powerful character.

These two are legendary in what they can do. They're incredibly menacing, insanely powerful as well as being capable of several things. We got a fight between a god like being against a real god. I felt this was given plenty of justice. I don't think anyone could make a version even better than this honestly.

15. Captain Marvel vs. Shazam (Season 6)

Before DB fans jumps in to criticize me for not including Captain Marvel vs. Android 18 episode. Yes I like Android 18, but I'm not crazy about her. I recently became a fan of both Captain Marvel & Shazam. I got to be honest I originally quickly wrote off Shazam several years ago. But more recently I realized why he was done that way.

Can you imagine the short period of time he was more popular than Superman? I don't even need to go through the whole Captain Marvel name issue. Shazam is essentially a more ridiculous magic Superman in a nut shell. Captain Marvel is an intergalactic Ms. Marvel that could become Binary. This is a strange way considering despite the few strong similarities.

At they're very core are pretty different characters. Captain Marvel uses all kind of energies while Shazam obviously uses magic. The fact this is a kid that becomes a full grown man with powers makes him more strangely entertaining. Shazam is a kind of superhero you really won't expect. Honestly I felt in regards to her last episode, she was given more justice this time around.

16. Ghost Rider vs. Lobo (Season 6)

The most recent that came out yesterday. I been waiting very patiently to see these two go at it. At first, I highly question why these two. The more I looked into it, the more it was becoming clear to me. Two insanely durable powerhouse characters. This episode heavily centers on the afterlife in an unusual way.

Lobo had the death ban that I never once while writing my prediction blog considered his soul being destroyed. Yes I knew of two those methods they talked about. I thought if Lobo would've won, the fight would've ended before he faced Zarathos. Although DB doesn't want to do that. I am a huge fan of these characters.

I don't even care my own prediction was wrong. Honestly like Hulk vs. Doomsday, unless you knew what everyone else was going to over look. You won't see the other outcome coming. I got to be honest I am proud I was wrong. I am a bigger Ghost Rider fan after all. I felt the entire episode is the best of Season 6 so far honestly.
