Jack Red reviews Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red aka XboxClown89, during my huge Christmas Steam purchase. I decided to get Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!. This originally was a game on mobile devices. You play as an headless Kamikaze to reach Serious Sam in every stage to blow up on him.

There's forty stages between the desert & the jungle. It doesn't change that much but it kinda works. Serious Sam is the only boss character this time around. Hazards are worse than frogs & bombs. You can kick as well as jump during the stages. You can change out heads which is kinda interesting the option even in there.

Serious Sam himself has a couple lines in game. The game is very forgiving constantly getting you opportunity to collect more extra lifes. Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack! is already dirt cheap as well. There's not much to say on this short game. You kinda wish there's a little more to spike up the game.

Update: Be-Rad Entertainment commented on my playthrough video.

Top 8 2021 Games I Played

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red aka XboxClown89, I am doing a blog version of my recent list. I got some interesting games to talk about. This year I gotten games across two platforms for a truly epic finale. You could even say this is even better than my last year's list, you likely are right. So let's get right into it folks, keep in mind this is strictly my opinion alone.

8. Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol (Xbox One)

7. Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack! (Steam)

6. Charlie: The Legend (Steam)

5. The Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe (Xbox One)

4. UnMetal (Steam)

3. Horror Legends (Steam)

2. Resident Evil: Village (Xbox One)

1. Castlevania Advance Collection (Xbox One)

I will do things a little differently since I don't want this to be longer than necessary neither ruin possible future reviews. I'm going to quickly talk about each one starting from the bottom game working my way up to the best.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol

This to me felt notably off with a strange placement of extra content. Also the emulation wasn't perfect while lacking some newer options to make it way more enjoyable experience. I will even say this is far from what it should be.

Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!

This originally was an app game that got remastered in a way for it's rerelease on Steam. It is a very straight forward game that's easy to memorize how it works. Although, most of it will repeat you still kinda have a good time playing it.

Charlie: The Legend

This is a case even with one person working on the game. It simply needed a little more to help stand out from it's competition. I will confirm it is a decent multiplayer game that's currently flying underneath people's radars.

The Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe

Last year, the PC version made the list. This year, it's Xbox One port did. I already talked a great deal about this amazing compilation. To me, it's the definitive AVGN video game you need to play. Easily one of the funniest games I ever played.

UnMetal

UnMetal is a parody/tribute of Metal Gear. Amazingly it is it's own experience with the story as well as the characters. They took the bread crumbs yet molded something truly unique with it. UnMetal in all honestly one of the greatest indie games I ever played period.

Horror Legends

To be honest, I bought this a few years ago while the game was still in beta. Earlier this year, it got an full release on Steam. This is one of my favorite horror multiplayer games I ever played. Honestly, more people need to check this one out.

Resident Evil: Village

A truly amazing entry in the franchise, Resident Evil: Village is a must play. I can't even criticize it much since not all the content is there with what we already have being done so well. This game is easily an competitor for game of the year awards.

Castlevania Advance Collection

A compilation of four Castlevania games. It is a huge improvement over Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Three of the finest entries I ever played. I felt this the entire compilation has the very best ratio how one should be done.

Jack Red reviews UnMetal (2021)

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red aka XboxClown89, I'm a huge Metal Gear fan. It deeply upsets me Hideo Kojima got treated so poorly by Konami during the development of Metal Gear Solid V. I started to lose hope I may never get another decent Metal Gear experience ever again. Then came this parody/tribute game of that franchise called UnMetal.

UnMetal follows Jesse Fox attempting to escape from General X. They took a major risk by making it very similar to classic Metal Gear game play with an increase amount of humor. Surprisingly, it was well balanced in that regard. Honestly, one of the absolute funniest games I ever played. It is more like Metal Gear 1 and 2 from MSX computer than anything else.

At the same time, it wasn't a rip off of what was previously done. Instead it very much was it's own thing, very surprised to see that. There's no question a handful of these characters are parodies of Metal Gear characters. Like Jesse Fox is parodying Solid Snake with younger versions of Big Boss. Colonel Harris is a parody of Colonel Campbell, well you get the picture.

There's some crazy scenarios including a couple you get to choose. Yes you heard correctly there's multiple decisions in this game. Very few of them requires additional stuff in order to correctly solve those puzzles. It's mind blowing how funny this game turned out to be. You got a few bosses you would never face in any Metal Gear games.

Such as an giant eel, an samurai and an nuclear submarine. Like Metal Gear, you got to use your wits to get far. Even one particular boss fight is set up through the conversation. I actually found out about this game through a streamer named Smokaloke's Metal Gear marathon early on. I also bought a lot of stuff in the purchase including this game's soundtrack too.

I just checked twitter, I got a reply from the voice actor behind Jesse Fox. UnMetal is a game with it's own levels of complexity. You got some interesting boss fights with surprising decent voice acting as well. Drill Sergeant is easily one of my favorite characters. For free on Steam version you can download a voice pack with voices from famous streamers including Smokaloke.

UnMetal is broken up into ten chapters. Yes there's a chapter selection to allow you replay the game how you want. You also get some surprises you won't see coming on the way. This comes incredibly close of actually being an Metal Gear game. Actually way more than I ever expected. UnMetal is a love letter to those who love Metal Gear series.

You can save in bath rooms or an empty toilet you carry in your inventory don't ask lol. There's also some game play mechanics in their own sections as well. Like in one chapter you can pilot an submarine while another has a boat with an machine gun. The visuals are truly amazing stuff as well. This game is a huge surprise in and of itself.

UnMetal has plenty of rememberable moments people will be talking about for years to come. I really hope they make an sequel in the future. You get some clever puzzles you wouldn't regularly get in Metal Gear series. Like the wires puzzle or navigate an labyrinth. I'm not going lie even with directions getting through the labyrinth is a real pain.

I am really glad I took a chance on this game. It's witty, silly at times and it does try being serious all at once. UnMetal is easily one of the most impressive indie games I ever played. This concept was a huge challenge, I'm very blown away how damn good the actual game was. Overall, it is a very strong recommendation especially if you're a Metal Gear fan to check this one out.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Yhwach (Bleach) vs Kaguya (Naruto)

 Special thanks goes to KamiZephyr on DeviantArt for making a great coverage blog on these two characters. Which clearly saved me a lot of time as well as space on this following prediction blog.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red aka XboxClown89, today I'm going to do essentially an expanded take on my new prediction. I am not going to sugar coat this, a lot of people aren't going to enjoy this. Personally, I'm hoping enough people can prevent this from even happening on their show. Regardless, this is strictly my opinion of the fight.

Yhwach

Yhwach is the son of the Soul King as well as the source of all quincy powers. He started an thousand years war that eventually got the attention of their mortal enemies, the soul reapers. Yhwach later absorbed two gods to become even more of a deity.

Kaguya

Kaguya is an alien came to Earth, precursor to every Chakra technique in history. She is worshipped by people while feared by others. Her bloodline eventually evolved into the Uchiha clan. Kaguya also was the first person to be the host of ten tailed beast.


Powers and Abilities

Regularly I take the time to fill this in. Thankfully someone else really took the time doing that to a much greater degree.

The link above also covers their weaknesses as well so I'm going straight into the verdict section.


Verdict

Yhwach


I highly suggest you take breaks reading this. The following verdict is going to be quite long. I'm going to try fully explaining my argument why Yhwach easily wins this fight.


Clearly this was meant for which manga series had the more terrifying final antagonist. But the more I personally looked into it, the more obvious who the victor going to be. I'm not going to lie, Kaguya in her own right is an impressive being. I personally not a fan of either character, in fact I heavily disliked Yhwach a lot more.

I am well aware it states Kaguya is immortal or is she? Other members of her race can be killed. Those with the tailed beasts do have notable regeneration abilities. Especially those possessing either Kurama aka the nine tailed fox or the ten tailed beast. However regeneration requires chakra in order to work. So a difficult prolong battle would work against both characters.

Of course this isn't even close to one of many problems Kaguya will have in this fight. Yhwach previously stated Yamamoto's zanpakuto while it's in bankai state. The nine tailed fox, the ten tailed beast and Yamamoto's zanpakuto are all stated in their respective canons. Capable of destroying the world.

Yhwach can easily use his zanpakuto to instantly burnt Kaguya beyond ashes even without attacking. His flames are equal to that of the sun means even Kaguya's hottest fire theme techniques are useless. This also means her coldest techniques are doomed to fail as well. It is possible that Kaguya potentially knows every chakra theme technique in history.

Sadly in the long run, none of it even matters. Don't worry I'm going to fully break it down. Before you throw flaming arrows as well as pitch forks, you Naruto fans really need to hear me out on this. Yhwach constantly held his own against the strongest Bleach characters by himself. It heavily applies Yhwach possibly beyond Kaguya's level in combat.

Kaguya also uses the god trees as a source of energy. However it is possible to destroy them. Even if she absorbed them with the ten tailed beast into herself. It doesn't change the fact, Yhwach has so many powers she can't actually counter. I'll start with his own powers, yes there's a huge surprise relating to this.

Kaguya does have more eye theme techniques. The only reason Aizen was even able to hypnotize Yhwach in the first place simply because they previously talked before his god sight activated. This allowed Aizen to have his powers worked on him. It also means with his god sight activated, it's virtually impossible to hypnotize him otherwise.

His god sight actually allows him to know everything in every possible angle at once. This means he already knows every possible technique she's going to do. Which allows him to always be several steps ahead in combat like he constantly done to Ichigo. Obviously surprise attacks are completely off the table here.

If that wasn't bad enough, Yhwach also has if that power is his ally, it can't harm him. It also has an special ability to even making those attacks completely incapable of harming him in any possible way. Abilities like this are game changers in combat. He also can steal abilities even from those who doesn't have pieces of his soul.

Yhwach also can consume Kaguya thus ending the fight. He could summon eyeball creatures to over whelm her. These things can also act as a powerful shield for Yhwach. He also is capable of making an massive city size barrier as well. Yhwach through absorbing, his father the Soul King can alter every plain of existence at once.

In this case means Yhwach will always have the battlefield advantage. Considering Death Battle universe is a neutral universe. This is very bad news for Kaguya. Yhwach also has the ability to alter the future I'm not kidding. Yes this does include those he died in. He can instantly revive himself on the spot.

The same power also allows him to break targeted weapons to instantly break among usage. He can even make his attacks that got blocked changed into successful blows I'm not kidding. He also can set up traps as well making this a rather unfair ability to go up against. Yes he can play mind games while using this ability as well as predicting his opponent's moves.

Kaguya can several types of dimensions sure. As previously stated, Yhwach can alter every plain of existence. He also can instantly travel through dimensions through using his Shadow ability. Yhwach also has a power spell capable of tearing anyone inside apart as well. Kaguya will struggle using her paralysis techniques because of Yhwach's Ransotengai.

Kaguya also doesn't have many techniques to disrupt Yhwach's powers. She wouldn't have access to a weapon made out of Still Silver. Very likely she wouldn't even know about his power connection with Jugram. Jugram gets majority of Yhwach's powers while he asleep. Which means during this process if Jugram dies with those powers, they're gone for good.

The problem with that is Jugram also a capable fighter in his own right. Kaguya can do impressive regeneration while Yhwach let's be honest has very broken regeneration in comparison. One time Ichigo slashed him, within a very short period of time he healed instantly afterwards. This even bags the question how to even kill him in the first place?

It took a well shot Still Silver arrow from Uryu to disrupt his powers during the final battle. However due to his powers, the rate they'll return is very fast compared to the rest of the quincies. Believe it or not, we still haven't even talked about the one thing likely missed in most people's arguments related to this particular versus debate.

It is very critical we even discussion literately the fine print itself. Yhwach done several rituals with people where they drank his blood to get powers while shortened their own life spans. When an quincy dies, their piece of his soul returns to him. Not only he becomes more powerful with a longer life span. He also regain abilities from them as well making him even more broken he already is.

Now if you go to the link above it does quickly cover most quincy powers. Just minus both Uryu and his father since Yhwach didn't take their powers. Even if he did take Uryu's powers, he would've gain more control over this fight. Although it doesn't even matter since he already has exactly what he needs to win.

In the soul society, reishi is everywhere meaning he'll always have additional energy for his more traditional quincy powers. Kaguya can manipulate enemy chakra sadly Yhwach defeated Ichibe who can manipulate the true names, the metaphysical representations of among other things including sentient beings.

This allowed Ichibe to grants himself power over those he targets with his power. This includes Name Curse the ability to lose their voice required to use those powers. Basically he had to fight a broken character virtually limiting his potential. Until his god sight kicked in to ultimately win the fight. I highly doubt Kaguya ever faced anyone like Ichibe in comparison.

Sadly her methods to completely destroy Yhwach's body is virtually useless. Yes she can completely do this but as previously stated Yhwach altering the future makes this a waste of time as well as energy. Kaguya can create clones while through using Gremmy's powers so can Yhwach to quickly even the odds.

This very power could potentially do all the other powers combined with much more insane possibilities. Like when Gremmy temporary opened an section of space itself on Kenpachi. Hell he also could use the same power to create an asteroid capable of destroying the seireitei within impact. Keep in mind, this is a very large building filled with thousands of soul reapers.

On foot, it takes roughly 40 days to get from one side to the other. They never fully confirmed the actual size of that building. So there isn't much to go on for comparison purposes. What we do know is whatever Gremmy creates very true to what he believes it to be. Which meant it actually would've destroyed the seireitei.

Yes there was a barrier but the quincies were smart enough to have a few ways to bypass that problem. They secretly kept an eye on soul reapers for years without them even knowing it. Kaguya doesn't have counters for the following abilities I'm going to name from other quincies. I'll even explain why as well to the best of my abilities no pun intended.

The Balance from Jugram allows the user to control fortune and misfortune in his sphere of influence. He can give himself the good fortune while redirecting the misfortune onto his enemies. Yes this does include tanking damage to only give it to his opponents on a notably worse degree. The Deathdealing from Askin can control the Lethal Dose of anything he ingests or touches.

This also allows the user among ingesting blood can poison someone with their own blood. He also can give himself immunity to any type of attack if he can survive it. Thus two abilities right there preventing attacks from potentially killing Yhwach off. The Fear from As Nodt can allow the user to find fear within memories to exploit.

He also can instill fear into others through his Heilig Pfeil. The Glutton from Liltotto can consume opponents including memories and powers. The Heat from Bazz-B is another fire alternate to instantly kill people a few ways. Now that's two methods of fire Yhwach has that's very fatal among contact. The Jail from Quilge can trap people who aren't quincy inside a reishi prison even after death.

It also prevents dimensional travel greatly limiting Kaguya's options. The Love from Pepe can manipulate others into obeying his every command. The Miracle from Gerard allows the user to turn damage including lethal into size and strength. This also greatly limits a lot of Kaguya's options in comparison.

The Overkill from Driscoll allows the user the more he kills, the more powerful he becomes. The Power from Meninas can control how much strength she has. Which does include increasing her muscle mass. The Question from Berenice allows the user to cause opponent to question & doubt themselves.

Of course, this is a weird ability that involves Kaguya to listen for it to work. I don't think this one would go far but it's still worth mentioning. The Roar from Jerome can use Weaponize Sound in powerful roars. The Superstar from Mask de Masculine requires cheering. This allows the user to become more powerful, increasing physical stats as well as regeneration.

The Underbelly from NaNaNa can allow the user to sense the flow of reishi in an opponent's body. Which would technically apply to chakra in this particular case. Further limiting Kaguya's options to even attempt escaping Yhwach. It also allows the user to directly target weak points to rending the enemy immobile.

The Wind from Nianzol has some similarities to some stuff Kaguya has. However one of it's abilities makes it impossible to hit the user normally. The X Axis from Lille allows the user to fire shots capable of pierce everything in the direction it's aimed at. It can pierces the space without affecting durability. He also can fire a massive beam of light with the properties just larger.

The Yourself from both Royd and Lloyd Loyd can mimic someone. Royd is more about their memories and knowledge. His brother Lloyd mimics their powers as well as appearance. Which means Yhwach could suddenly look like and act like Kaguya to throw her off. Neither brother's mimic ability is flawless but it does come surprisingly close.

The Zombie from Giselle can allow the user to turn others into corpses with her blood. She can control the dead including the previously-killed corpses. Mayuri had to alter some of her zombies to create a possible loop hole to kill her off. This is due to the fact none of the living actually capable of killing her.

This ability alone is incredibly unfair in comparison. I felt I wanted as long as I needed to prove an point. Yhwach vs Kaguya is a surprisingly one sided fight. Even if Kaguya had the stats in her favor. It still wouldn't change the fact, Yhwach has plenty of ways to come right back in this fight. Yhwach is simply too op as well as a very broken character.

Some of Kaguya's similar techniques could cancel a handful of Yhwach's out. Even those are that similar are even more op in favor of Yhwach especially in fire's case. To sum it up Yhwach has a lot more broken powers, skilled enough to constantly held up against stronger beings and greatly limit Kaguya's options.

Now even if Yhwach doesn't use Yamamoto's zanpakuto and additional abilities from deceased quincies. The Almighty with additional god powers he absorbed virtually guarantees Yhwach victory regardless of the possibilities. Kaguya doesn't have any solid methods to keep Yhwach's powers away long enough to kill him in time.

After all, Uryu stepping in a few ways is the only reason Ichigo ended up even killing Yhwach off for good. Including all the powers Yhwach has can virtually prevents Kaguya from escaping altogether. You can even say there's no real hiding place Yhwach can't find. If Yhwach took out the god trees before she absorbs them prevents her from getting a notable power boost.

Yhwach could release Yamamoto's zanpakuto in order to trap the ten tailed beast if he really wanted to. Including additional abilities from gods he absorbed does allow him to be the perfect person for the job. Yhwach himself could simply alter the future in the event of getting killed off by Yamamoto's zanpakuto while Kaguya doesn't have many counters for that.

The Zero Division is stated to have their total power far surpasses the power of all the 13 Divisions together. Keep in mind, it is only five former soul reaper captains. Now that's truthfully impressive considering Yhwach defeated their leader, Ichibe in combat. In comparison, Kaguya did struggle against Naruto and Sasuke mostly due to how both of them reminds her of her children.

Otherwise she would've went even harder on them to possibly win rather than the outcome that happened. Yhwach himself in the end did throw away his own people. In that regard, he'll do whatever he needs to do to achieve his goal no matter how crazy it is. Kaguya has no real way to kill Yhwach off for good.

I didn't even mention Yhwach has proven to fight well without an weapon. Which makes him even more dangerous in combat. Kaguya can't even seal him away for a lot of reasons stated here. I highly doubt Death Battle would allow an fight to end with one of them getting seal away. Clearly still alive, no they want to give us a more clear whose going to win after killing the other person scenario.

In the long run, Kaguya can only do so much to delay the inevitable. Sure she mastered most chakra techniques. But Yhwach could still figure them out at a fast pace. Prolong usages of big techniques will eventually led to her own downfall. Not to mention, Kaguya started the arrogance still presented in the Uchiha clan.

Even some key figures in Naruto states that some techniques can't be copied from those of an unique bloodline. This would actually include Yhwach since he is the son of the Soul King. He also the very source of every quincy powers. Therefore Kaguya herself is incapable even copying his techniques. She also has no counter for Yhwach directly stealing her powers or consuming her a few ways.

Kaguya is stronger as well as more skilled in Madara Uchiha. Sadly, Yhwach virtually has an answer for everything Kaguya can do in every possible situation. Kaguya could travel through creating rips in space-time as well as dimensions she has control over. Yhwach having the ability to alter every plain of existence alone makes this an small issue for him.

To be fair, Kaguya does have her methods to see memories as well as emotions on those she used them on. Yhwach simply has more methods of doing the same as well as more direct counters for those powers. Which meant Kaguya actually wouldn't get far from doing that. Thus even further limiting her options, let's be honest she's doomed to fail here no matter what she does folks.

Winner: Yhwach (Bleach)

Popeye

Popeye was a sailor for most his life. He often gets into trouble with people especially Bluto. He is a classic comic strip character with a few shows as well as a live action movie.

Verdict

Saitama


I am not going to lie, this was very tricky to determine who actually would win this fight. I'll even break it down before I start my argument. Both of them are insanely broken characters in different ways. Saitama was meant to be the invincible super hero while Popeye was allowed to do anything. Obviously for comical purposes, he can do some truly ridiculous stuff.

Both are ridiculous durability, mind blowing strength and beyond light speed. Saitama can't counter a lot of Popeye's powers. However Saitama very likely can easily handle them. At their core, they are heroes capable of the impossible even logic doesn't no longer apply to them. Surprisingly they have some abilities in common.

This is one of those fights we have to ignore stats. Kinda like the case of Reverse Flash vs Gokua Black. But for a different reason, Popeye has tanked some impressive stuff over the years. Including a few occasions he got erased from existence. Clearly durability wise, Popeye trumps. Raw power surprisingly also goes to Popeye for defeating an eighth dimensional being as well as God.

Yes you heard me correctly, God now both of those alone trumps anything Saitama has ever defeated. Speed wise, it is surprisingly close with oddly enough both characters having a similar moon feat. Both of them through different means went from the moon back to Earth in a very small amount of time. Popeye was slightly faster in comparison.

Popeye does have some ridiculous powers making it very difficult for anyone to prepare against. Popeye also has more confirmed experience which does include training. Which is something Saitama doesn't necessary have. As you can see I had plenty of reasons to go with Popeye. So the big question is why am I not doing that?

As much as I loved Popeye, a long time fan myself. This fight ultimately came down to one critical flaw. Popeye requires spinach to even be on Saitama's level. Saitama himself got that way through regular exercising. Which means he's going to remain as an insanely broken character regardless what happens.

It is possible for notably weaker characters to prevent him from getting spinach. One time Bluto was determined to keep Popeye away from spinach, yes folks this actually happened in a cartoon. Not to mention, Saitama very likely will take him out as soon as he has the chance. This is a fight, the character with the most advantages actually going to lose.

Not only that, mostly Popeye fights regular people as well as animals. Of course, there's exceptions like two beings created by a guy rubbing an magic lamb. Saitama usually fights way more stronger opponents in comparison. Which means in theory he could possibly hold his own against that eight dimensional being or Popeye's God.

Also considering Saitama can outdo a blast meant to destroy an entire planet in a single punch. This meant Saitama could easily tank stuff Popeye throws at him as well as counter his strongest efforts. A lot of people don't even realize Popeye's additional broken powers aka toon force has a time limit. Which is not a position you want to be in against a guy like Saitama.

This fight is kinda similar to Green Lantern vs Ben 10 in a way. There's plenty of proof Popeye without spinach is still human. He can get sick or harm badly while that's no longer an issue with Saitama. Yes Saitama still requires oxygen in space but defeating a powerful monster inside a black hole. Which is surprisingly something Popeye himself haven't done.

This fight alone would easily out last Popeye's power up from spinach. He had to constantly hold his breath while fighting against this monster. It means Saitama possibly handle the worst punishment Popeye can dish out. Let's be honest, the animators would be too afraid to piss off Saitama. Another way to look at this is Popeye has to be powered up to do massive damage while Saitama doesn't even need to try for the same result.

Of course, when he gets serious more raw power gets dish out against whoever he's facing. Now I know a lot of Popeye fans are going to look at me like I'm insane. Let me finish my point here before you start with your comments. Another interesting point is other Popeye characters briefly gotten similar powers from eating spinach.

Which means if Saitama eats Popeye's spinach, it likely act as an additional boost to his already insane powers while gaining a lot more ridiculous powers. As stated before, this is a temporary power increase. However unless Popeye quickly find some spinach, this fight will be over in an instant. I do believe this fight won't end with either being able to one shot each other.

Popeye did once affect the star constellations which took a lot of force to achieve. It actually trumps Saitama's destroying a planet busting attack. Both have ridiculous durability that further plays into neither can instant with a punch. Although it technically be more possible for Saitama to do so. If Popeye doesn't even know he's coming then gets destroyed with a punch.

I know death is a funny topic with Popeye. You got to realize he only survived stuff like getting erased because he ate spinach prior. Otherwise he would've gotten erased as well. Most advantages both fighters have ends up being countered or not mattering enough among a closer look. A major reason why I said stats ultimately doesn't matter here.

After all this is a fight to the death. We have to look at which flaw would be just enough for one of them to win. Otherwise, this could end up like Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro. I highly doubt it because of Popeye heavily depends on spinach. Either his time limit runs out or Saitama prevents him from getting anymore spinach.

Popeye won't be able to keep his additional powers. Which also made him difficult for Saitama to properly strategize against. I strongly felt Death Battle is going to make this a very rememberable fight. Of course, one side is going to be really upset. Both these characters are treated in a sense, no one can beat em in a versus debate.

Among the closer look, I simply can not ignore Popeye has a flaw that Saitama is going to capitalize on. I am very happy we're getting Popeye, I really wish it wasn't against Saitama of all people. We all can agree these two are legendary in their own right. However that notable character flaw is going to be very difference to determine this epic possibly broken fight to the death.

Winner is Saitama (One Punch Man)

Jack Red reviews F Is for Family (2015-2021)

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red aka XboxClown89, I know it's been a while since I wrote any blogs on here. To be honest, things been very busy on my end. Thankfully I can do another show review for the road. F Is for Family is an animated sitcom on Netflix. I can't wait to dive right into the review but first a warning.

I am not going to lie this show can be racist as well as sexist at times. Also possibly could offend other people's regions as well. I figured to tell you out right rather than you go right into the show. Then you get offended one or a few ways afterwards. Imagine Family Guy without the out of place jokes that's more directly offensive.

F Is for Family centers on the Murphy family in the 1970s. Later on will make this time period of the show more clear. You may not fully realize it until then honestly. Frank is a dad really trying to help his family but things kept going wrong causing him being mostly angry. Sue can be a bit of a selfish bitch at times, not as much as another lady on the show though.

Up to the end of Season 4, there were three kids. Now there's four of them with the newest being an baby. The show does answer some important questions about many things relating to the family. Some characters like Rosie goes through major differences. Not only that, there are some surprisingly funny moments in such a serious show.

I would say Frank is the most human among his family. It is a real shame this show got canned despite being allowed one last season. I'm not going to sugar coat, this show really has balls. Some of the mess stuff they done is like wow that wouldn't allow this much of it on TV. Like one man got blown up that also led to his uncle's death.

F Is for Family doesn't shy away at being offensive at all. Some characters are just plain mess up in general. I didn't expect the show to be well written as well as remaining constant. Yes I know it ended on five seasons. But some of them kept going much longer to eventually start showing not being as great.

Vic ends up being one of my favorite characters on the show. I actually remembered how I got into this show. I went over my brother's place a few years ago, they were watching a few episodes. I'm surprised I actually wanted more of it myself. This show doesn't hide from possible real issues you may face in the world.

I would even say out of all the animated sitcoms I watched, it's the most realistic among them. Yes even more than King of the Hill at times. F Is for Family is a show I was very upset about it's cancelation. I don't think it was due to low rankings. I actually think it's because of COVID hit some of them hard.

Three of them got episodes dedicated to them including a voice over. It is also possible some of the racist jokes in Season 5 could've led to that as well. It partly plays on politics not as much as American Dad though. Honestly, this show did a great job not holding back. Some character's passing isn't made clear like a war veteran killed by his ex wife.

I still say shows like Big Mouth is generally much funnier. Humor isn't as a major part of the experience. It is more of how some characters do whatever they can to get what they want. Even it also leads to some bad things. Like Frank hired an stuntman who caused him to be demoted with no Christmas bonus.

Keep in mind, no one else even tried pitching an idea to save the air port from going under. You kinda felt bad for Kevin's accident. But later in the show, he is too much about himself I'm sorry. I know he does care about his dad at times. Is it necessary to music your song at your grandpa's funeral. Then again only Frank later found out his dad did have a music request for his own funeral.

Bill is going down a mixed path, so is his sister. They don't fully realize how rough it is to maintain things with other problems with their work. I felt unsatisfied with the final episode because only Frank got the short end of the stick. The voice acting is done incredibly well. I will deeply miss such an awesome show from Netflix in years to come.

F Is for Family was something a little unexcepted to me. It played more heavily on real problems parents could face in the world. Not only that, a few gore scenes you won't even see coming the first time watching. Even the amount of it is beyond what you might be use to seeing in similar shows. Well maybe not in South Park's case.

This show remained interesting since episode 1. Which is rare among those shows to do. F Is for Family is a show in a way the world needs. There are a few surprises on the way. I think Frank quickly steals the show. The emotional stuff really hits home at times. I liked they took risks while making the show their own.
