Fortnitemares 2026 rant

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, before I moved I already planning another Fortnite rant blog. I wasn't satisfied with my previous Fortnite rant. Some might find this newer rant enjoyable while others not so much. Honestly, despite the main focus being moving into a new home. This particular Halloween event for Fortnite kept showing up like the plague!!!

Fortnitemares 2026

I never seen an Halloween game event this milked!!! It goes beyond ridiculousness in ways some can't proper process their brains!!! As much I would love a bit of everything to represent Halloween. I already looked up every newer franchise added through this Halloween event. There's twelve new franchises added to the game alone!!!

1. Five Nights at Freddy's

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street

3. Black Clover

4. Hollow Knight (not a player skin)

5. Halloween Horror Nights

6. 99 Nights in the Forest (Roblox)

7. Hazbin Hotel

8. The Purge

9. Obsession

10. Slender Man

11. Beetlejuice

12. Predator: Badlands

I think the lineup should've spoke on itself. But I'm not sure how many people see how I view it? A lot of these franchises had little to nothing added with an handful had more overall content. Two of them added in bosses you could face during matches. The fewer amount franchises just felt like that's all you need. But come on Beetlejuice deserves way more respect than that!!!

Obsession I may be happy for it's success. I know some won't like saying this is starting to come off as overrated. Predator: Badlands isn't even a horror movie I still haven't seen it. I was even surprised Black Clover being the solo anime franchise represented in the Halloween event. For me, it's weird seeing the main three using guns!!!

Even stranger they actually allowed an indie game franchise created from Roblox!!! Which already questionable because sick adults going after children situation Roblox has!!! They went for Hazbin Hotel yet not include Helluva Boss? Now anyone that seen the show Helluva Boss would agree. Those characters would fit in better than those from Hazbin Hotel.

Those imps from Hell are out of their minds!!! For me, it felt like they needed something no one would expect. But an handful of these franchises actually nailed that!!! Hollow Knight as a companion now in the game!!! This is still quite weird because the character in a famous metroidvania game. Hollow Knight should've had more customization.

It felt like the character was forced on the side lines. It was a little surprising Halloween Horror Nights showed up. For those not familiar what that is? It's an Halloween event representing many horror franchises. Obviously this helped tied a lot of these franchises together. I still felt they could've went bigger with it!!!

The Purge had one particular outfit that didn't really stand out. Not because it wasn't designed well either. There was simply too many newer franchises added during this Halloween event. The one constant leaks I kept seeing were about Five Nights at Freddy's. Yes they also crossed over into the game.

Actually had the most overall content for the Halloween event. They wanted younger gamers to play in the Halloween event. I mean why else go for such an franchise that doesn't even work for this? I felt Dead by Daylight done a little better in comparison. An handful of those characters were also added in as bosses.

I still haven't gotten to two particular franchises I'm really surprised they gotten!!! A Nightmare on Elm Street yes it's the classic Freddy. Also yes Robert Englund reprised the role for this crossover. WOW Dead by Daylight, Fortnite beat you guys getting the version of the character we all wanted!!! Let's got a step further there's a particular internet horror icon everyone wants in DbD.

Surprisingly actually showed up in Fortnite!!! A character that had little to 5% chances of showing up. I am talking about Slender Man!!! Yes this thing also added for the Halloween event!!! I already confused by so many crossovers they done over the years!!! Slender Man was among the last characters even for an Halloween event I expected to show up!!!

His creator is rather selective about how people use the character. We do know The Operator whose an alternative version of the creature, Dead by Daylight passed on. Let's be more direct, none of this actually makes sense!!! I felt doing an handful of franchises could've helped balanced things. It also could've helped with the confusion some could've had.

A lot of them aren't known for using guns!!! A large amount of those playing Fortnite are kids to teens. I know there's adults also playing the game on a somewhat daily basis. It does sorta explain why an handful of these franchises were chosen? But how many of them knows Slender Man, Black Clover or Beetlejuice?

If you defeat Freddy, you can use his claw glove during a match. Personally I heard the voice overs, they could've done a bit more. They didn't need to swear just could've added some of his other famous quotes. The way Freddy was portrayed felt like they're in the dream world. This is where I started to notice they don't care about lore or how some characters meant to work?

Let's talk someone like Beetlejuice for an example. He's a ghost that goes out of his way to terrorize the living. He can shape shifting with a notable variety of powers. I felt characters like those really don't fit at all in this!!! Beetlejuice could easily cheat to survive matches if they were going by those. It's a similar situation with Freddy since he can manipulate the dream world.

He can have anything he wants happens as long as he has enough fear from people. Adding souls does increase his power making him like a God!!! Slender Man is so mysterious with barely much to actually go on. Power scaling is literately all over the place!!! Some of these beings existing on a few plains of existence makes facing em in matches pointless.

Of course, that's assuming you could kill them or temporary stop them? I know Predator has crossed over prior to the Halloween event. But this is Predator: Badlands that differs a lot from the franchise. I know calling that a new franchise might be seen as a stretch. Considering, the concept of that Predator movie. I felt it should be treated as it's own related thing than just Predator franchise.

It would've been different if that were more alike anything else within Predator franchise. It didn't stop them kept adding in different versions of Batman!!! Look we get it, Fortnite loves Batman!!! I was more surprise with all the DC crossovers, they didn't go for Matt Hagen from the new Clayface movie. Some aspects of the character could've blend in with some of the mechanics.

I know it's not easy to get franchises ready to do crossovers. But did this Halloween event need this many new franchises? This felt like two of these Halloween events combined in overall scope!!! I also know there's a lot of people that wants literately everything in Fortnite. I never seen such a greedy online multiplayer game in my entire life!!!

My thoughts on Cinemassacre's Monster Madness XX: Trick or Treat!

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, another huge Halloween tradition I have is watching Cinemassare's Monster Madness marathons. James Rolfe does spice it up to a degree. This being the twentieth one has another iconic theme not many people surprisingly do. Every Thursday of this month, Rolfe will be covering movies taking place on Halloween.

1. Terrifier 1 (2016) and 2 (2022)

It's no secret I'm a huge Terrifier fan. I may prefer he could've saved those later. But doing them now does deliver a hell of a way to truly kick things off. I'm virtually 50/50 how I felt about that. I originally didn't have audio on my computer. When I first watched this entry with subtitles. Which helped a lot during my 1st watch.

I have rewatched the video with sound. Obviously it's better with audio with great editing overall. He did hint covering Terrifier 3 in the near future. As a reminder, Terrifier 3 is a Christmas horror movie. I do think this is going to be a decent Monster Madness marathon despite being an handful of entries. I do like he's chosen Thursdays especially when not many entertainment stuff on Thursdays recently.

I also understand he's raising two daughters. Yeah I could've said finally he's doing this theme. But in truth, he sorta done a few related videos that led to this marathon. It's a foreshadowing that we just didn't know when he finally goes big on the concept? Terrifier movies was among most violent Halloween horror movies I ever seen!!!

Additional thoughts

Yesterday on October 28th, Dead by Daylight started PTB for Terrifier chapter. Now I don't know if Rolfe planned this entry to tie in to that? I still felt I should mention that. I'm just glad he finally talks about Art the Clown. Especially among the most brutal slasher villains I ever seen!!! What I do know is I'm happy to see more indie support especially horror franchises.

2. Night of the Demons (1988)

I heard of this movie many years ago. I'm glad Rolfe mentioned a few movies with similar titles. This issue going to keep getting bigger. Even excluding what's actually part of those horror movie franchises. He previously mentioned that with another movie House a couple years ago. He wanted to go all in by reviewing the movie I respected.

Night of the Demons I honestly didn't know until this video took place on Halloween. Honestly, I quickly got into this entry as I first watched it. Of course you knew something from the 80s had to show up. This was a surprising one he didn't cover in twenty years. It just felt the perfect time to do so. This being a huge milestone Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathon made it even better!!!

The fact I'm getting really into this marathon means Rolfe absolutely killing it right now!!! Night of the Demons was a chaotic Halloween movie. Now he covered those early on the same marathon. I'm more curious what else possibly going to show up next? I always look forward to his creativity. Night of the Demons just feels right to be in this Monster Madness marathon.

The next entry came out on an Wednesday.

3. Haunt Season (2024)

I'm glad another indie movie made the lineup. I honestly never heard of this movie before. The concept was popular for a short while. But I got to be honest, Rolfe sold me in wanting to see this movie. Haunt Season focuses more on people that worked for an haunted attraction. I respect they went for the concept making it more realistic as well as relatable.

Haunt Season reminds me of a movie Rolfe directly mentioned I previously covered here. The Funhouse Massacre now that's a crazy movie of a similar theme. I was expecting most entries to be older movies. Of course, I welcomed Rolfe covering this movie. I will say I did like the costume the killer used.

I'm a huge fan of skeletons in general. Honestly, I'm even happier it's included in this Monster Madness marathon. I really can't say more than what I watched from his review. But I do need a little more variety within horror movies. Haunt Season sounds like something I'm going to enjoy. So far this Monster Madness marathon kept getting more into the upcoming holiday.

4. Hubie Halloween (2020)

Before I started this section, I really thought I wrote a review on Hubie Halloween prior. It turns out I haven't after all thanks to Rolfe covering the movie. I guess I can finally discuss this movie sharing my quick thoughts. I watched this on Netflix a couple years ago being an fan of Adam Sandler. I would say this movie fits exactly what Rolfe was going for.

Hubie Halloween truly embodies Halloween more than any comedy movie I seen. The plot of the movie was a weird revenge plot with a rather out there twist. It had some stuff that was just there that doesn't affect things much. It was meant to be a fun Halloween movie you watch with your family. This felt like a weird mix of his older comedy movies with some aspects of his newer ones.

The late Ray Liotta was surprisingly in this movie. I felt among his other movies I seen it's middle of the road. I still prefer it a lot over Happy Gilmore 2 not sorry. This was a fun entry for Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathon. Of course I'm curious to see how it all ends next week? I will say this is among my favorite shorter Monster Madness marathons he's done so far.

Additional thoughts

By the way, the true antagonist of the movie was Hubie's mom. She was tired of people bullying her son which does include Liotta's character in the movie. I bet you weren't expecting her to be the killer. In a way I felt Sandler could've been high or possibly rushed the Netflix movie out. Yes he does sorta start back an relationship with a mom.

5. Jack-O (1995)

The final video covers a low budget Halloween horror movie. To be honest, how Rolfe described the movie I wanna see it. Damn that's twice in the same Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathon. I actually liked the concept a lot that possibly inspired a multiplayer game called Horror Legends. Which also had among it's many killers a resurrected pumpkin head killer with a scythe.

I would've left the entire commentary part out. Then made that it's own bonus Halloween video. It did take a little too much focus away from the actual review. But It still was a decent review of the movie. Honestly, I expected a few movies that took place on Halloween. I didn't even know about this one prior to the video.

This was a rather cool one to end an Monster Madness marathon on. Jack-O is a movie that was around Scarecrow horror movies notably started to show up more. Despite not actually being an Scarecrow that still came off being similar. I do think Rolfe ended with a movie that truly embodied Halloween. Well every movie he picked for this particular Monster Madness marathon done that justice!!!

Conclusion

Before I get to what I really wanna see. This now my last blog entry before start living at my new home. Which I officially move in on Halloween not planned by the way it just happened!!! Rolfe had that awesome Jack O'Lantern shirt in all the entries. He had a weird Morgan & Morgan ad with the other guy being something different in all of them.

Despite the dialogue with everything else being virtually the same. I usually don't comment on ads Rolfe does in any of his videos. This turned out to be a great Monster Madness marathon. All of them truly helped made Halloween something even more special I possibly could've ever imagined. I got a few movies I gotta watch in the near future.

My thoughts on Treehouse of Horror XXXVII

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I woke up to watch The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror XXXVII. We're a few days from Halloween. Don't worry I'll give you a good idea where I place this within the 2020 Treehouse of Horror episodes. This should be a rather interesting review of the new Halloween Simpsons episode.

Treehouse of Horror XXXVII (2026)

A day before the episode, the new intro fully was shown on the internet. By now everyone knows it's a parody of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Easily one of the best things about this Halloween episode. They made a Simpsons variation of the famous song. Both having the same composer to a degree made this something truly special.

This was quite a way to kick things off. I really loved how they mashed Simpsons characters with those from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would say easily among my favorite intros for an 2020 Treehouse of Horror episode. I have no criticisms it's a great intro. It's really rewatchable I already seen it a lot before the actual Halloween episode.

The first segment is Bride's Shed Revisited. I won't waste anytime easily the worst of the three segments. This felt like a major missed opportunity. They were to focus rushing out what essentially was the concept. This is based on The Husbands by Holly Gramazio. In the story, a husband goes into the attic. Then came back as a different man.

They parodied that with Homer going inside their new built shed. They went through a lot of Simpsons characters. Even Survivor host Jeff Probst gets in on that. Yes he's voiced by the actual person in the episode. This largely lacked terror beyond Marge kept getting husband swapped. The most actual horror was the strange, mess up ending.

Personally I would've had each husband after Homer went in. Replaced by someone worst than Homer in some way. Which easily could've led into many interesting directions. Marge kidnaps Homer to force both of them into the shed. Although they get back together they actually replaced Ned Flanders. Oh okay that's a mess up joke I'll allow.

It's not enough being an Halloween Simpsons episode. Both Flanders sons shotgun blasted the couple. Where they get shotguns is beyond me!!! It's difficult to say if this either was rushed or they quickly ran out of ideas? I wouldn't even be surprise it later gets revealed being both. The most creativity was having the two famous aliens show up for a cameo.

This playing heavily on swapping out concept. It was similar to a few previous Treehouse of Horror stories. Intrusion of the Pod-y Switchers from Treehouse of Horror XXIX. My main example being Heaven Swipes Right from Treehouse of Horror XXX. We had plant aliens swapped places with Simpsons characters that worked a little better.

I saw more actual creativity with Heaven Swipes Right. Where Homer dies but through a loop hole came back to life through different people's bodies. This strangely felt like a spiritual successor to that. This wasn't a good start to the horror anthology. It's far from the absolute worst I seen though. It's still a difficult sell to rewatch again.

I also gotta mention a regular Simpsons episode that also dealt with swapping places. The Bob Next Door where Sideshow Bob swapped places with his cell mate. He moved into a house nearby the Simpsons house. He does attempt to get revenge once again against Bart. Yes this was parodying a movie called Face/Off.

Rather than simply swapped out the faces. He went a step further to completely replace his skin with his cell mate's. Which already sounds more like something from an actual Treehouse of Horror episode. I felt this particular Simpsons episode was worth mentioning here. Bride's Shed Revisited is just alright at best.

The second segment is Dog Boy Afternoon. Easily the best of the three segments. I was a bit confused when I first found out about it. Now I can say this was such a weird parody concept that worked!!! Homer takes Bart and Santa's Little Helper out to dinner. Of course, Homer gets careless that caused the dog to get hit by a vehicle.

Two of them thinking the dog died took the body to a graveyard. Which doesn't even hide what they're parodying here. By accident, Homer actually killed Bart with a shovel. I won't be surprise it's possible to kill someone like that in real life. But damn what a brutal accidental death!!! After both the bodies were buried, their souls swapped bodies.

Now both are back at the Simpsons house with Bart now in Santa's Little Helper's body upset with Homer. Lisa figures out the two swapped places. Homer was nearby quickly leaving things to a rather unpleasant situation. Homer attacked the dog whose now in Bart's body while Bart attacking him. After he bite Homer, his dad decides to put him down.

Homer almost gets away with murdering his own son. Until Lisa's quick thinking led to such a violent kill scene. Homer's corpse was buried in the same graveyard as Snowball I. Now the two swapped bodies we get to see around Christmas. It's amusing to see Homer in Snowball I's body lol. In a rather mess up way this was a fitting punishment for him.

I got a couple Treehouse of Horror episodes to compare here. Bad Dream House from the original Treehouse of Horror episode. Dial "Z" for Zombies from Treehouse of Horror III. The Island of Dr. Hibbert from Treehouse of Horror XIII. Two of those are obvious since a burial ground was used. How I fit The Island of Dr. Hibbert in largely similar to Simpsons becoming animals.

I should mention Geriatric Park from Treehouse of Horror XXIX that does something. Similar with the elderly becoming dinosaurs a disappointing parody of Jurassic Park. Before I bring up the one segment from Treehouse of Horror episodes this reminds me of. Dog Boy Afternoon is a parody of both Freaky Friday and Pet Sematary respectively.

Fly vs. Fly from Treehouse of Horror VIII is my main example. I mean how the hell could it not be? Both centers on Bart swapping places with a different creature. A major difference being Fly vs. Fly is science fiction while Dog Boy Afternoon more supernatural. I would say this is more mess up than Fly vs. Fly though.

They didn't hold back when they needed to get gory. A regular Simpsons episode I wanna compare is I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot. Where the Simpsons goes through a couple pets in a single episode. Most of them including the original Snowball II died. I personally don't enjoy this episode for a lot of reasons. The episode ends renaming Snowball V to Snowball II which the cat looked identical.

The final segment is Vehicular Dad Slaughter. Teen versions of Bart and Lisa were in the process getting their driver licenses. They kept wondering where their dad was for seven years? It turns out their twin aunts were witches that worked at the DMV. They get tricked being sent inside driver ed films that end badly.

They guided Homer to escape those films. Their aunts pulls some dirty tricks on the way. Yes they do escape while the aunts gets sent to a section of Hell for terrible DMV employees. I guess constantly causing others to wait in long lines wasn't bad enough. This actually had some creativity to keep things interesting.

Once again I got a couple Treehouse of Horror episodes to compare. Treehouse of Horror VI through Groundskeeper Willie gets killed virtually the same exact way in all three segments. The Terror of Tiny Toons because the same Simpsons kids gets trapped inside television shows. Although that was more playing off science fiction while stretching one's imagination.

In vice versa, this was more on the supernatural side of things. Send in the Clones in Treehouse of Horror XIII was a bit obvious. We see a lot of Homer clones including the real one died the same way. Where the government used helicopters to flew over giant donuts as bait. Tricking Homers to fall over a cliff I bet the aunts loved that!!!

I've Grown a Costume on Your Face from Treehouse of Horror XVI. A witch gets disqualified from a costume content. In rage, she cursed the town of Springfield becoming their costumes. Which ended up backfiring because Maggie dressed up as a witch. The witch indirectly created another witch but a baby one.

Wanted: Dead, The Alive from Treehouse of Horror XXVI has Sideshow Bob repeatedly killing Bart. He does get karma when Homer killed him. Then Bart making some changes caused a revived Sideshow Bob being an abomination. Be Nine, Rewind from Treehouse of Horror XXXI involves both Lisa and Nelson stuck in a death loop.

Which so happened to be Lisa's birthday party. Eventually the two broke the loop to return things back to normal. My main example was Easy-Bake Coven from Treehouse of Horror VIII. Marge gets discovered as a witch. Along with her twin sisters decided to devour children. Then they tried a gingerbread man to start collecting candy from the village.

Thus, suddenly became the first Halloween. A vastly different witch story with the same aunts. It also ends up Homer calling his daughter Lisa a witch. The village starts chasing her following egging his own house out of stupidity. This was a strange spiritual successor to that. I still slightly prefer it over Vehicular Dad Slaughter.

Unexpectedly I got two regular Simpsons episodes to come. Marge and Homer's marriage renewal wasn't official. The couple decides to get married again. The aunts kidnapped Homer in the style of Saw series I wish I was kidding. Days of Future Future being one I couldn't ignore. It's among their What If Future episodes.

In this particular future episode, the original Homer died. Then Professor Frink kept cloning Homer repeatedly. Every single clone dies not long after each other. Then the professor confirmed he can't clone him anymore. Yet he did recreate what essentially was him digitally. Now existing an AI program it's a weird Simpsons episode.

I did enjoy the surprise gore in Vehicular Dad Slaughter. I just wanted things to be a little crazier. It's notably more entertaining as well as harder to predict than Bride's Shed Revisited. It wasn't a bad one to end the Halloween episode on. The actual length was a bit more justified. Honestly, I felt they did a good job with the segment.

Earlier I promised how does this compare to the other 2020 Treehouse of Horror episodes? I would say it's not even close to Treehouse of Horror XXXIII, XXXV and XXXVI respectively. I felt you could stick with that awesome intro with Dog Boy Afternoon you're good. Honestly, it was an alright Halloween episode.

Especially following the newer bonus Halloween Simpsons episode I already reviewed. I felt that's still the best overall Halloween Simpsons story we gotten this year. But it does help this one not sucking as bad as some of the other episodes. I would say you might find some enjoyment. Otherwise it's a tough sell making it 50/50 to watch this Halloween Simpsons episode or not?

My thoughts on Halloween Deathmatch - Live Action! (2026)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's an Halloween video I didn't even know was coming. Bat in the Sun whose responsible for Super Power Beat Down made this Halloween video. It's not determined by the amount of votes like their main web show. You can tell the team wanted to do something cool for the holiday.

Halloween Deathmatch - Live Action! (2026)

The video opens up to a small group of people. At first makes you think Jigsaw going to show up on the television. Instead it was The Joker played by Aaron Schoenke. Joker wants to do a crazy kill count game. He unleashed two horror icons in Arkham Asylum to hunt the group down. Before we go any further I really was loving the concept so far.

The two killers stalking them turned out to be Halloween's Michael Myers and CryptTV's The Look-See respectively. Yes one of them does win the game. The camera man might offend some people out there. It's a small guy dressed up as Robin. Majority of the kills are brutal I just find Myers more satisfying to watch.

Joker set some traps that did leave to bad things. The actual video length works amazingly well for this. The first to go was a security guard. Obviously when he fell, the group quickly fell apart. Who knows if Joker planned that or it just happened? It's a crazy game of cat and mouse. There's a twist that literately came out of no where.

Secretly among the group was Predator. Yes the famous alien hunter was actually stalking around invisible. Myers died when he gets upset The Look-See stolen his kill. Some might argue because both done notable harm to the last victim. They both could've tied to win the game. But I doubt Joker would've allowed that though.

What really threw me off is there's another section with Scooby Doo's Daphne and Velma. This time Velma's computer has Jigsaw popped up. They had to face three slasher villains together. Myers gets another go with the other two you may expected. Art the Clown and Ghostface showed up respectively. Velma was kicking ass against them while Daphne does nothing.

Of course, Daphne does eventually help save Velma. The last few minutes felt like it's own video. They clearly threw it in because they weren't done with the holiday. I would've preferred that would've been it's own video. The sudden change of plot with characters might cause confusion it sure did for me. But it still was a surprisingly awesome section of the video.

How does all this madness ends? Well the two ladies gets it on I'm serious!!! Jigsaw even wanted to watch that lol. I did prefer Joker being the host it just works better overall. I'm also glad Velma show versions weren't used either. I think the joke is they made these ladies into hunters. Although, they were discussing cases before three slashers came at them.

I would say most of the video works well. I did like they didn't waste time when it's not necessary. Like milking suspense that quickly takes away from a great kill scene. I can't say this felt like a horror movie but the plot itself is used a lot within the genre. This felt more like something Joker could've done if Batman wasn't involve or prevented the Dark Knight from rescuing the group.

I actually would be interested if they revisit the concept in the near future. Maybe go even crazier than last time I'll watch that!!! Also Myers was done better than Halloween Ends!!! You can tell they put a lot of time into this Halloween video. Even the little things you might notice kinda start sticking with you.

Honestly, it was a rather entertaining video even if it doesn't get a follow up. The first group is more what you would expect of most Silent Hill protagonists. They are just normal people for the most part that had troubled pasts. The last duo was more like Resident Evil protagonists. They had experience that was too prepared for anything.

I also wanted to say a week before Halloween with my possible current plans was a nice surprise. The first group was in a crazy escape location game. The last duo was about to get ambushed. Jigsaw usually really looks into people. I doubt he would've just attempt capturing them. Despite the actual intention in the video is to kill the ladies.

It is very possible a lot of multiplayer horror games with a similar concept could've inspired the video. This might've been an idea a small group of people quickly got ideas to make into what we have here. Who really knows what led to this video's creation? What we do know is Halloween Deathmatch is a decent Halloween video that was both clever as well as creative.

My thoughts on AVGN: Maniac Mansion (NES)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, another Halloween tradition is I watch Halloween episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd. Which I been doing for nearly two decades now. But you just never know what James Rolfe going to do for these Halloween AVGN episodes. This year, he reviews a game I'm sure a lot of people waited a long time for him to actually review.

Maniac Mansion

This review was on the famous NES port. But it was originally an horror point & click game. This was the early days of the genre with overwhelming options. Somehow among those, Maniac Mansion is one of those must plays of that era. I felt how he opened up the review was perfect. He directly referenced a particular issue of Nintendo Power covering the game.

This is one of those unexpected weird, horror games. You get a couple playable characters which wasn't that common at the time. You get to explore an mansion with a lot of weird stuff. Considering all the weird stuff that happened on The Angry Video Game Nerd it's a fitting Halloween episode. He heavily plays off the trial and error aspects of the genre.

You gotta try everything out with every option. Some requiring additional stuff to use. Which means either carefully follow a guide or you have to write everything down. The jokes playing on stuff you shouldn't do. Especially trying to just walk up a ladder who does that? I personally thought he would've went a bigger on microwaving someone else's hamster.

Which so happens to be one of many easter eggs. But also the most violent thing you could cause in the game. He previously done an entire episode of another NES point & click game, Deja Vu. I felt some aspects of that was a little better. He also covered a few possible ways to beat the game. Some of these situations were quite weird!!!

You would think by logic you need to restore the power in order to play any Arcade cabinet. Who would ever think of just needing a coin? Maniac Mansion is one of those let's mash a few genres together for something different. I do wish the actual Halloween AVGN episode was a little longer. But the length still works better than Werewolf: The Last Warrior or especially Nosferatu.

I could tell Rolfe had some ideas. I'm glad he didn't hold back how he felt about it. Keep in mind, you likely wouldn't know any of this back then. If you didn't own that issue of Nintendo Power. Which was around the early internet era. Does anyone remember AOL dial up? Yeah a single call at the end of about to get to the internet.

Then bang you get cut off having to restart the process again. It seems like a game you barely see outside indie developers today. More recently there's Tenebris Somnia that adds in live action cutscenes. This game is as unusual as it possibly could get. It's one of those game unless you had notable experience prior.

You really won't know what to do with overwhelming options. Obviously playing off your patience while figuring stuff out. I felt Rolfe done a great job describing such a classic game. It won't be for everyone but the right people likely play the game a good while. Yes he is heavily playing on nostalgia when doesn't he?

The ending is a little unexpected I felt a little more could've happened. Like if he were to recreate one of the endings or make up a joke ending? I felt this was a decent Halloween AVGN episode. Despite my criticisms I do think it's rewatchable. Especially of the bigger jokes already doing wonders!!! He easily could come back with a follow up episode for more of the unexpected stuff surprisingly in the game.

You could consider this he covered the surface then the bottom layer. But everything within that sandwich though has many layers untouched. Maniac Mansion was already a difficult one to cover for so many reasons. I respected Rolfe went in right as business as usual reviewing the game. I also expected some mess up tentacle jokes.

He does make some rather mess up jokes. I won't necessary say that's a missed opportunity. But it could show up in a possible follow up episode. I really was expecting, "Wait how is that tentacle eating food?" It's a just a huge tentacle of a octopus/squid like creature. Unless it's mouth in this situation being the suckers on that tentacle.

Well I guess that would suck!!! I felt what he did delivered I was quite satisfied. It would be nice to see Maniac Mansion get a remastered or a somewhat decent rerelease. I also could hope someone make a rom hack replacing a lot of these options with AVGN phases. Now I would love to see someone make that rom hack!!!

Of course, it won't leave to anything as it's own joke. The actual episode itself felt like this game perfectly mashed with the show. I also think this clearly had a few months to get done. It was a fun surprise in time for Halloween. Which so happens to be next Saturday. I'm almost all set for the holiday waiting for an handful of stuff entertainment wise.

Mortal Kombat II (2026) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's another video game movie I wanted to see for a while. Mortal Kombat II was one of the video game movies you hear about all year. I may be funny being a fan in recent years. But I still wanted to review the new Mortal Kombat movie in time for Halloween. I actually got a lot to say about this movie.

Mortal Kombat II (2026)

It is a follow up to Mortal Kombat (2021 film). Which was before the actual tournament movie. We got the tournament like the first live action Mortal Kombat movie. I will go over what I liked to what I didn't like. The fatalities are very satisfying to watch. Most of the characters looked amazing. Even with notable CGI on Noob Saibot looked to a degree.

I did liked Karl Urban's take on Johnny Cage. I just wished he would've gotten his powers a little sooner. Which led to his redemption following the tournament. I also liked this strange best friends with Baraka. Some of the later moments with these two were funny. Kano ended up being an anti-hero rather than being the monster we all know him for.

I also felt the character was a bit toned down with humor. In the previous live action MK movie, Kano really stolen the show. Now he's just kinda there you kept thinking he's going to betray Earthrealm. But spoiler he never does that felt out of his character. I also like Ed Boon in two different ways cameo in the movie.

Everyone knows from some trailers, Ed was a bartender in the movie. They hid in a surprise, "Here Over Here!!!" the iconic Scorpion voice over we all loved!!! I felt there's a somewhat decent selection of characters. The actual look of well everything was amazing!!! The fight scenes were satisfying enough to get the job done.

It's a shame the actual story was kinda an after thought. The beginning is a flash back where King Jerrod loss to Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat. Kitana secretly vowed revenge on the emperor. I was a little funny about parts of Jade's appearance. But it was alright not ideal but easily could've been a little better. Kahn cheated with a amulet to become immortal to cheat matches in the tournament.

I'm surprised the Elder Gods allowed this to happen. There was virtually nothing from them regarding the matter. Thankfully, the amulet gets destroyed removing his immortality. I will confirm Liu Kang isn't the one to beat Kahn. He unexpectedly left the tournament for a more personal cause. Yeah leave the fate of Earthrealm up to whose left while trying to save someone else's soul good idea!!!

The story ended up being a bit too predictable. Johnny Cage took the longest to join Earthrealm when he's needed most. Some of the characters like Quan Chi was a bit difficult to look at. In a rather unpleasant way that sorta hurt the character. The tournament was notably rushed compared to the first live action MK movie's.

Raiden gets temporary put out of commission. We knew Outworld was going to cheat. We didn't expect they target Raiden though. I also will confirm Cole from the previous live action MK movie doesn't survive. Personally I felt they allowed such a bs match with him to make some people happy. Look I get it, some didn't care for the character.

I still don't think he deserve to be done in like this!!! Kitana gets allowed to switch sides in the tournament to now fight for Earthrealm. She challenges Shao Kahn in a final battle to determine the fate of Earthrealm. She does kill Kahn off with a rather over the top violent fatality. I'm surprised this wasn't in any of the MK games it was next level stuff!!!

This lacked something that could've made the movie more interesting. The previous live action MK movie we learned some details not directly in the games. Like how the Elder Gods choose their champions for each realms. The movie clearly didn't have enough room to breath. To truly stand out in a way it could've been among the best MK movies.

I felt this more middle of the road among all MK movies. It's still better than The Journey Begins and Cage Match respectively. Maybe if the movie would've went smaller with the characters. Then increase focus on the story we could've had an amazing MK movie on our hands. I still felt most of the characters are done well.

There's a lot to like in the movie but some of my big issues makes it difficult to come back for revisits. It seems like they tried to play games a little safe. They should've went all the way for it!!! I wanna see people get ripped apart with blood flying all over the place!!! This felt like we get MK1 but no MKII that sucks!!!

Yes we gotten some characters pulled from MKII. What I meant is they pulled select few things then called it a day. Even the newer live action Resident Evil movie which isn't based on any RE games was better!!! Honestly, it felt like they wanted the money more than making actual MK fans happy!!! It's still way better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation despite sharing some of it's issues.

I get working with a huge cast can be difficult. But considering movies like The Lord of the Rings series exists!!! Yeah I did expect much more than what we actually gotten. I could've removed the actual story still doesn't help the movie much. I would have to say my favorite scene is when Cage punched Baraka down below was funny.

The writing as a whole just felt it doesn't quite come together. Any huge MK fan could've written some amazing MK fan stories. The movie just felt incomplete missing a little too much. The humor won't be as funny as the previous live action MK movie. But you might get a laugh or too. I could recommend it to people that could enjoy this MK movie.

Two More Horror Movies Based on Video Games reviews

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently reviewed two great short horror films based on video games. Now I'll go a step further reviewing two more movies based on video games. These actually are official movies of their respective franchises with a lot of praise. I knew eventually I had to see both of these horror movies soon.

Iron Lung (2026)

Iron Lung was based on the indie horror game of the same name. The movie follows a convict later revealed to be named Simon. He gets forced to travel in a small submarine into dangerous territories. You literately could say this man been through hell!!! The actual look of the movie was truly amazing stuff!!! Markiplier proves he sure can act.

I personally haven't played the game this was based on. Although I have actual game play of it prior. This was vastly different take on the concept. The movie is very centered around Simon from start to finish. Yes it does play on psychological to a degree. For a short period, he's still in the submarine made it to where the group was.

Their leader so desperate forcing tasks on him. He has to travel into a sea of blood. Markplier actually broke a record for the most fake blood used in a movie. I never seen this much red within an indie horror movie prior that wasn't from murders. Simon has to figure a lot of stuff out. As the movie his situation kept getting worst.

You actually felt bad when more of his past gets revealed. Suddenly being the Billy Coen situation. Yes I'm directly referencing an Resident Evil character from Resident Evil 0. Both were pinned a crime then sentenced in a way would be a death sentence. Coen was meant to be sent to a firing squad. Simon would've been left to die within that bloody sea.

This sorta felt like BioShock as well as Fallout to a degree. The main setting is Simon's sub but very often we see x-rays around that sea. You get some idea what he's dealing with on a daily basis. Markiplier funded the entire movie with $3 million dollars. He actually made $52 million dollars from movie theaters.

He was very surprised his movie gotten into movie theaters being an indie horror movie. The special effects are some of the absolute best I seen for an indie horror movie. Despite an handful of actors mostly voice overs works amazingly well. Simon was on the verge of dying from lack of oxygen. Yes there is some amazing gore very late into the movie.

You really felt exactly what Markipler wanted you to feel the entire time. A level of paranoia who to trust? Simon is mostly alone despite things that plays on another real thing. There's people in the world that can't go a notable period without people. I also liked we don't get a full reveal of the monster either. Which forces the viewers to use their imagination.

Yes we do see it from x-rays but it works in a way we may not handle what it actually looks like. Thus somehow effectively made the monster even more terrifying. I also wanna point out the actual blood we see in the movie looks amazing!!! The big twist is Ava tried to use him getting something that could've figure out what happened?

It started with an unusual skeleton he found. Then later became data that was somehow up on another submarine. Yes he was being lied to getting saved, it never was in her plans. I felt in a way Ava was worst than the monsters. You got to realize he was forced to do these tasks. There was parts of blind trust that eventually felled through.

Iron Lung was a rather ambitious indie horror movie. Markiplier spent a lot of his spare time making the movie including editing. In fact, he's done most of the important roles. This movie was outdoing a lot of horror movies from bigger movie companies. I will confirm Simon doesn't survive in the end. But he had some amazing luck despite a lot of crazy stuff that happens.

Simon tried to warn Ava something else was down there. Her desperation there had to be a way to save what's left of humanity to a fault. The movie doesn't make it clear how many of the population left? What we do know is Iron Lung truly lives up to how the game would've made you felt. You also can tell the game meant a lot to Markiplier.

He did state he does plan to make another movie based on a video game with no clues given. But if it's being done like this I'm very interested!!! This guy absolutely knocked the movie out the park!!! There isn't many light moments but there's a few emotional scenes that speaks volumes. Honestly, this was a great video game movie I recommend checking out.

Resident Evil (2026)

I will be honest some stuff the director Zach Cregger revealed about the movie. I was going in thinking this could end up as the worst Resident Evil movie yet. Thankfully it is a surprisingly decent Resident Evil movie. Despite not actually based on any of the Resident Evil games. Instead Cregger focused on newer Resident Evil games gameplay as direct inspiration.

The movie follows a medical student Bryan Hodukavich that's on his way to deliver something. As soon as a zombie gotten hit by his car, it kept getting crazier!!! Hodukavich really goes through a lot to make a delivery. I never said he was delivering a pizza lol. This turned out to be among the bloodiest Resident Evil movies to date.

He gets to experience a house where he gets a shotgun. Which you'll see in some of the trailers. Yes it is in fact an double barreled shotgun. I liked the little facts like Hodukavich checking around for ammo was similar to those Resident Evil games. There isn't many creatures that's in the Resident Evil movie. You also can tell in a few ways it's also inspired by The Thing (1982 film).

A notable portions of the movie had snow to a degree. Some of the infected attached together making abominations. Currently the highest earning Resident Evil movie to date. Also currently the highest ranked movie based on a video game franchise as well. Cregger took a huge risks not using any of the characters from the games.

Although Umbrella Corporation is in the movie. Yes Raccoon City made an appearance where the movie ends. It's vastly different from both Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City respectively. The amount of gore was truly mind blowing!!! Yes this Resident Evil movie gets truly disgusting at times!!!

I will say Cregger nailed the feel of those newer main Resident Evil games better than expected. One of my favorite scenes was Hodukavich grabbed the splitting creature. Forced it's acidic throw up on the main monster pursuing him in the movie. Then he threw that splitting creature down too. Everything about that short moment was done perfectly!!!

End of the day, he just wants to finish one more delivery. There's a rather mess up scene in an RV I'll let that explain itself to not spoil what happens inside. They never confirmed what exactly it is infecting people? I will confirm this isn't pulled directly from the games. Although some of it's characteristics was though.

I will be honest I went in thinking I'm going to hate this movie. To be quite honest, I actually enjoyed it a lot even as a huge Resident Evil fan. It is borderlines not directly based on a video game franchise. Somehow Cregger found a way to make his own Resident Evil style. He already confirmed this is his only RE movie before moving on.

Sometimes you wanna put all your effort into one movie or game than pushing yourself doing more. This had one of the most clearest perceptive among the live action Resident Evil movies. Up to a point, you are rooting for Hodukavich to make that delivery. I will confirmed he does get infected that gets notably worst as the rest of the movie went on.

Yes I didn't expect much for the ending prior. But I really wasn't expecting this ending in all honestly. Hodukavich does deliver the missing piece to a cure. But his mutation into a monster gotten out of control by that point. He ends up causing the antidote to fall before loss control. Which confirms the rest of the world going to share the same horrific fate.

There's some amazing visuals as well as special effects. I also liked in one scene a few First Aid Sprays were nearby. Any RE fan knows First Aid Sprays are among the best health items. They fully heal you back to full health making them essential during harder runs. There's also a short scene we see a dark room with a typewriter.

The classic saving method involves using a typewriter to save your process. The actual pacing of the movie is quite similar if you're watching just the cutscenes of those Resident Evil games. There's a couple characters including an handful of Umbrella people. I also gotta mention Hodukavich is terrible with guns.

He is the most human of a protagonist in the live action Resident Evil movies. Well before his horrible fate that is. This guy faced a lot of infected animals mostly rats. I was quite surprised how they were introduced in the movie. Hodukavich gets a few weapons as the movie goes on. They heavily played off you can't access because of locks.

Which directly became a huge running gag of this Resident Evil movie. Some could argue if it wasn't titled Resident Evil, you easily could've called it something else. Well there is some truth to that I respectively disagree. This surprisingly felt like an Resident Evil movie. Just comparing the live action RE movies is really saying something.

I felt it actually belongs in my Top 3 Live Action Resident Evil movies. Along with the first two live action Resident Evil movies. Personally if you want more actual Resident Evil movies wise. Stick with the animated movies that's where it's at. But this is a decent alternative to those. I also gotta mention the famous scene zombies falling off builds hitting around the protagonist.

Sorta raining zombies with amazing special effects as they hit the ground!!! I also liked we kept seeing Hodukavich's condition worsens with each one being greatly showcased. There's a few stuff that surprised haven't actually happened in the Resident Evil games. A great example being the splitting creature melted most of an elevator with a lot of splitting.

I was wondering when an electric fence gets used in the franchise? I guess Resident Evil 10 going to have one because of this Resident Evil movie. The scene we seen an infected devouring another one without a head was disturbing!!! They did referenced the diamond key which I really wasn't expecting. This is easily among the best scripts of an Resident Evil movie to date.

You can tell Cregger was a huge fan of the franchise. Yes I do agree RE7 short film I reviewed not long ago was better. This took the concept in a rather unexpected direction. The closest RE game to this would be Resident Evil 0. Rebecca being the newest member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team. She is the team's medic that ended up as the solo survivor following the events of the Spencer Mansion.

In a sense we needed a more medical take on the concept. I felt Cregger done a decent job with this Resident Evil movie. The movie doesn't reveal much what caused the viral outbreak? Good luck trying to get it out the first Umbrella character you see in the movie. Honestly, the way everything was executed being up truly amazing stuff!!!

Conclusion

This ended up being a surprisingly decent double feature. I actually seen these horror video game movies in reverse order. You knew I had to see Resident Evil movie first. Both of them are easily highly recommended that you must see soon. People having different takes it's possible you like one, both or neither?

I personally enjoyed both these movies a lot. Iron Lung is easily among the most impressive indie horror movies I ever seen!!! Resident Evil was a rather unusual take on the concept that worked amazingly well. Although I did prefer Resident Evil over Iron Lung. Also both having darker endings you wouldn't expect.

Both of them are truly well made movies. I really can't say enough about either film. Iron Lung nails a rather huge focus on it's protagonist with a concept that shouldn't worked this well. Resident Evil came off as a surprise home run hit with the crowd going wild!!! I do see why both of them were nominated for Best Game Adaptation award at Golden Joystick Awards 2026.

I will be honest I actually voted for Mortal Kombat II movie. There's no way in hell I was going to vote for Devil May Cry Season 2!!! I will say this out of respect they are worthy of their nominations. You really can't go wrong with either video game movie. Just know there's an insane amount of blood in both of them you're good.

My thoughts on Treehouse of Horror presents: The Revengening (2026)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, last night was the third bonus Treehouse of Horror episode. This Sunday going to be Treehouse of Horror XXXVII I can't wait. There's a lot I gotta discuss about this Halloween Simpsons episode. It was weird I couldn't see any preview for the actual episode prior. Thankfully earlier today I gotten to watch this Halloween Simpsons episode.

Treehouse of Horror presents: The Revengening (2026)

There's a lot of surprises I didn't expected to see. The cover art itself is a parody of Without Warning, an 80s alien movie. The plot itself is a parody of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Which already was done through Treehouse of Horror X's I Know What You Diddily-Iddily Did segment. This also was parodying a lot of revenge horror movies of the 80s.

We started with a small group that assumedly killed someone. They chosen to dump the body off a bridge. Later on, there was a series of similar connected incidents. Which means it was nearly the entire town targeted by the killer. I was more surprised the gore showcased in these kill scenes. The actual killer turned out to be someone we haven't directly seen on the show in a long time.

Before I reveal their identity this is mostly taking place on Halloween. I did like an island revealed in the killer's backstory referencing a lot of classic Simpsons episodes. Even a few characters we haven't seen in a long time. One of which I never thought would return more so than the killer themselves. This is one story covering an entire Halloween episode.

The previous two bonus Treehouse of Horror episodes were broken up into parts. For an Halloween episode I didn't know was coming before stuff started to show up. Honestly, it was a great Halloween episode that could make some horror fans happy. This easily could've been an Disney+ exclusive episode. Surprisingly none of it felt rushed.

Although some of the later portions felt a little too quick. The ending was among the biggest twists. Even bigger than who the killer turned out to be? Surprise the killer actually Apu, he's finally back!!! Yes he has a new voice actor following controversiality of a documentary. Which led to the character getting removed as well as his original voice actor stepped down from the role.

Honestly, I actually felt bad all of that kept happening on Halloween to him. You wanna root for him to get his revenge. This quickly felt like let's do a few I Know What You Did Last Summer movies right after each other. The actual costume Apu used wasn't bad I did like his mask a lot though. This is a very different take on the usual Treehouse of Horror episodes.

It's a more serious take that doesn't get ridiculous beyond a lot of groups not trying to save his life. This is among the most realistic Halloween Simpsons episodes to date. Also I always enjoyed when they do stories with a killer on the show. This was a surprisingly decent one at that. I don't even think it needs to be longer.

The ending sorta played the entire thing was a dream Apu had. He agrees going to Homer's Halloween party. Then we saw the mask behind the counter. They picked a good song to end the episode on. Yes Apu's wife cameos late into the episode with a new voice actress. They also confirmed the characters officially back on the show following this bonus Halloween episode.

I'm getting more hyped for Treehouse of Horror XXXVII. If we're getting something like this just imagine the actual Treehouse of Horror episode going to be like? Apu's weapon of choice was an autopsy saw fitting for his revenge. None of them checked to see if he were dead. He would choose a medical tool used on the deceased.

Superintendent Chalmers wasn't so super in this episode. What would've been his big kill scene indirectly because an accident Homer caused. Apu was going to burn a lot of people. Then Homer gotten through to him to give away the lighter. Who knew this ended up being Homer's biggest mistake? The chef gets brutally murdered that gets shown through a camera.

What also was weird is the first Halloween we see in the episode. The town limited things to an event for people's safety. Yet there was no solid reason given for that. The following one obviously Apu killing people justified that cause. The previous Halloween still had a lot of people partying elsewhere including Apu.

This should be a lesson don't let someone die or they may come back to even the score. I'm just glad Apu doesn't transform into a werewolf yeah shots fired!!! Indirectly this also reminded me of another Halloween Simpsons episode. Halloween of Horror, the only canon one had a small group of people upset Homer gotten them fired.

They attempted to get him inside the house on Halloween night. Lisa was still not over being terrifying. Homer was in a similar level of fear as well as paranoia. I felt they nailed the vibe of those revenge horror movies. One of my absolute favorites being Slaughter High. I would be more surprise that was among this bonus Halloween episode's inspirations.

Despite the events actually took place on April Fools Day rather than Halloween. It's a similar concept where Marty supposedly died in a prank gotten wrong. Many years later, the people responsible came back to the school. Then they started to die for the most part one by one with a notable exception. Both also involved the killer wearing a costume the group was familiar with.

I easily could've said this also was a parody of Slaughter High. Also indirectly in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Harvey kept having bad things happened to him. Which eventually led to him becoming Two Face was virtually this in a nut shell. Technically Lisa was the only true innocent among the town on Apu's death list.

I respected they brought Apu back in a rather risky way that pulled off!!! Prior, he cameo in a few Treehouse of Horror episodes including being a skeleton in his connivence store. Homer directly references a lot of stuff the two done over the years. I absolutely loved they included this into the script. Apu isn't entirely forgotten, someone did in fact remembered him.

In a way that felt like a lot of Apu fans. The more positive aspect he's finally back on the show. He isn't starting from scratch either. He's been long due to be in an Halloween episode this was perfect!!! In all honestly, it does take itself seriously even with the jokes. This isn't full on dark either because of that. You previously knew people were going to die before watching it.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Even Apu still had some humanity left despite things. When you think about it just one person being Dr. Nick checked to see if he's okay speaks volumes. It's no secret the town of Springfield can be rather selfish. Which wasn't hidden in the actual bonus Halloween episode.

A lot of people would've still be alive had they checked on Apu. I also think the other huge lesson here is don't hide stuff like this. Eventually it'll come out with a huge possibility not the way you want it to. Apu is a person not an object that by itself is important. Indirectly this should make you should consider people a bit more.

You don't know if they really enjoyed your company or held a grudge against you otherwise. The overall direction of this was done perfectly. This also felt just like it was parodying, an revenge horror movie. Which is a testament everyone involved done a great job. The fact we now have a trilogy of bonus Treehouse of Horror episodes is crazy!!!

Again I would welcome the team to go even further as an Disney+ exclusive Treehouse of Horror episode. Apu didn't deserve any of that either. He was out partying among leaving is when all of that happened. If anything the town are true monsters. A lot of them deserved what was coming. I know in a sense Apu would've been viewed as the antagonist but in truth the true protagonist of the story.

The suspense was there up till Apu's reveal. There's a huge body count including a lot of murders offscreen. There's no question this truly was the Simpsons take on the concept. I loved they kept taking risks the longer it went on for. Honestly, this was way better than I was expecting. We could be heading towards a great double feature worth of Halloween Simpsons episodes.

I swear the 2020s was a notable step up from the 2010s Treehouse of Horror episodes as a whole. I even felt some of them rivals some of the greatest Treehouse of Horror episodes!!! The more clear focus on a single story was worth the effort. Huge praise for the insane showcase of blood and gore. Yeah I noticed one of the bullies parodying Art the Clown.

I know this felt like I had more to say than the previous bonus Treehouse of Horror episodes. This story on the surface seems like it's trying too hard. Then let yourselves have a more open mind towards the bigger twists. You start to notice how truly creative they were with the concept. I do highly recommend checking out this bonus Treehouse of Horror episode.

Two Horror Short Films Based on Video Games reviews

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I will be honest this was a last minute decision. But trust me you're in for quite a ride!!! I really wanted to review two horror short films based on horror video games I liked a lot. To be honest, I was quite impressed with both of them. You actually could enjoy them on Halloween being a bonus.

1. No, I'm Not a Human (2026)

To clarify which No, I'm Not a Human short film I'm reviewing. This particular one is mostly done by Gavin Trisler. It doesn't help a lot of them just used the same title of the indie horror game. I'm not even how much that helps you to find the exact No, I'm Not a Human short film I'm reviewing. What I do know is I highly recommend checking this one out.

There's a few short films based on No, I'm Not a Human. This particular short film really felt like the game. This is mostly covering the early days. You do see the neighbor that unfortunately doesn't make it. The first few people to show up in a run. The suspense at an all time high. You have this feeling something going to happen.

The actors really nailed their respective characters. I actually wish this was a little longer. The fact it even nailed television stuff shown in the game. The little things were treated like treasure. This easily could've covered the entire game. Of course, the big issue being do you recreate one of many endings or create an entirely new one?

I already commented a good amount of my thoughts on YouTube version I watched. I will give them credit this game gets right under your skin with paranoia. I really felt that was perfectly recreated through this short film. It seems more recently fan short films are the ones getting my attention. In all honestly for a great reason.

They nailed every aspect of that indie horror game. Which was rather difficult to pull off. If it were possible I would love to make my own film of the same game. There's so many possible angles to go with the concept. No, I'm Not a Human was done justice!!! I really don't have anything to criticize. They went for their own take on recreating such a great indie horror game.

I wouldn't be surprise if they were planning a sequel pulling from more of those possibilities. They only touched the surface yet a lot of people really couldn't get enough. Now that's a testament you made a great short film. Honestly, I also would be quite interested if they were to do a follow up in some form. Clearly they're a huge fan of the game.

No, I'm Not a Human plays more on not knowing whose human to whose a visitor? They even mentioned the early Visitor signs was a rather nice touch. We even see the protagonist tested himself. Not a lot of people realize that's an actual feature in the game. It's also an challenge for some of these characters to nail the exact appearance of their characters.

I even felt going for the beginning portions of this game is a challenge. Let's be honest, in every run you'll see majority what was shown. Especially if you're playing the hell out of this indie horror game. There was huge expectations to not screw this short film up. They literately gotten in the door now I wanna see what else they're going to do?

2. Resident Evil 7 (2026)

Last night, I saw this Resident Evil 7 short film. I just learned early on writing this entry. Chandler Riggs best known for playing Carl Grimes on The Walking Dead show. I almost just pointed out being the main actor playing Ethan Winters. It turns out he actually entirely made this short Resident Evil film.

Riggs done all the major roles to create his take on Resident Evil 7. The beginning covers parts of the first cutscene with Mia Winters. But majority of the short film was in the main house. I got to be honest, everyone absolutely nailed their respective roles. Especially Jason Douglas that nails Jack Baker controlled by Eveline.

They had a lot of guts pun very intended to recreate Ethan waking up during dinner scene. WOW this entire section of the short film was beautifully recreated!!! Yes the police officer shows up later on nailing how the character speaks in the actual Resident Evil game. Riggs does a great job portraying Ethan.

I will be honest outside a few roles I'm not that familiar with Riggs as an actor. I didn't go into this with high expectations. The way it should be for so many things!!! Seriously too many people aren't actually enjoying or in some case properly understanding what they're watching or gaming. This short Resident Evil film is more focus than a lot of those people.

This might be a hot take not even meant to disrespect his previous performances on The Walking Dead show. Somehow he was Ethan more than he ever was Carl. He previously left that show to go to college in real life. I'm happy to say this isn't Psycho remake lol. Yes majority what we're seeing was directly pulled from that Resident Evil game.

At the same time, it does differ in ways you may not expect during an 1st watch. Like when Jack forced a knife into Ethan's mouth. We viewed that from an angle to more directly see that than in first person view of that RE game. Also I really wanted more than what was given. If he plans to make a follow up covering more RE7 I'm very up for that.

This really doesn't shy away from being an horror short film either. The actual dinner scene somehow even more difficult to look at than in the actual RE game. When people gets hurt or that cop dies none of that is censored. They even recreated the missable cutscene. Where Jack with a shovel cut Ethan's leg off.

Then Baker gave him first medicine to heal his leg back together. Even the little things were beautifully well executed!!! I also can't think of any major criticism either. Somehow this was way better than majority of the live action Resident Evil movies. I was so into this, I really had a great time loving every minute of it.

Decision 3 Very Intense Revisiting

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a few days ago I chosen to revisit Decision 3 through Decision Legacy Collection. I been wanting to revisit it as in a newer run for a couple months. Parts of strong winds from a hurricane were passing by where I'm currently staying at. Surprisingly, the power didn't go out until early the following morning for a little while.

I restarted the game automatically moved to Hard+ difficulty. The hardest difficulty this flash game had to offer. I took a lot of breaks on October 9th. Mostly playing the game for a few hours nonstop. I actually beat the game then continued for it's 100% completion. Roughly half an hour before midnight that night. Up to the last three sections of the map I easily ripped through.

The upper sections mostly dealing with the mutants was quite frustrating!!! I directly focus on getting a lot of people required for upgrades that's for locations. For those not familiar with the flash game can be a rather tedious process. A lot of times, you may get a builder while not sure when an engineer shows up. Soldiers are the most common people to find within locations.

Majority of upgrades I had stayed with the money from the previous run. I still had to really fight harder than expected. The one strategy that saved me during the roughest the game gets is one you may not expect. I quickly used an machete to cut down enemies at a faster rate. Obviously I couldn't hit enemies too far away.

Especially at times so many enemies coming towards objectives. I failed so many times by that point in the run. I nearly rage quit at one point for a lot of great reasons. A lot of the enemies were quite tanky. I had an easier time dealing with trolls. You know the bigger enemies that takes a lot of damage. They are among the most predictable enemies in the game.

Trying to deal with a huge variety of enemies in later portions was insanity!!! For me, the most annoying enemies that can easily screw you over. Same with Decision: Medieval being the archers. These pricks will fire at you at a distance while sticking close to other enemies. If you aren't paying attention can put you at a huge disadvantage.

The trolls gotten notably worst with a notable increased amount of them!!! I am not kidding, there was a lot of trolls too soon into going for some necessary upgrades for locations. It also doesn't help, the faster enemies goes straight for the objectives you're trying to protection. At times, you are force trying to stay on top of that you can't.

You have to quickly deal with some enemies. Then move over another notable group of them. It's difficult to keep their numbers down when so many heading straight for your objectives. I also will confirm the top section upgrades for locations are required for an 100% completion. The additional upgrades in the lower sections are optional.

I also felt majority of the weapons didn't hold up well either. Which indirectly made the later portions much harder. Decision 3 will feel quite overwhelming during an 1st run. I only hope those interested read this first before playing the flash game in some form. Surprisingly, I didn't lose any section of the map during this newer run.

Previously, I kept fighting to get the final section back during my 1st run. A huge difference from my 1st run on Normal to my newer, 2nd run now on Hard+ difficulty. I avoided being forced to replay the starting portion of the final section again. I defeated the final boss during that section along with completing discovering location objectives.

This is still the longest among all flash Decision games in that collection. I also still felt the difficulty was the most forced. I had a lot more fun replaying Decision: Medieval on Hard+ difficulty. Some aspects makes trying to come back for future runs questionable at best. Honestly, Decision 3 was a somewhat decent challenge on that difficulty.

It's fair from perfect that could've been a bit more enjoyable. I will agree a lot of upgrades for your characters are still quite decent. I respectively disagree with Google Search, this isn't the best Decision game in the collection. Decision 3 on Hard+ difficulty from how I went about it. Parts of it was much easier to WOW this is hard!!!

When you get to the upper sections you could be rage quitting. You will see a ridiculous amount of enemies on screen. Even the easier objectives are incredibly easy to fail. Yes this will require luck as well as your skills to beat the game. This felt like the first two Decision games back to back on steroids!!!

Decision 3 doesn't mess around when you're in the upper sections. In fact, expect to fail a lot even with all the upgrades for your character. By that point, you will be pushed harder than you possibly could've imagined!!! I won't sugar coat this, Decision 3 going to really try to be your worst enemy at times. Honestly, I am convinced the brothers didn't want people beating Decision 3.

End of the day, I learned a huge deal through this newer run. Just imagine if beating either Decision 3 or Medieval on Hard+ difficulty were achievements. I highly doubt a lot of people wouldn't attempt achievement hunting the collection. Decision 3 is still my second least favorite in the collection. Beyond the negatives that are quite huge.

Decision 3 might be fun for more hardcore players to a degree. It might not around the insane hard games those players beaten. Man this really took a lot out of me during this 2nd run. I wouldn't recommend doing another run unless you like the game that much. I'm more likely would replay the other three flash Decisions games.

Decision 3 still does several things better than the original Decision game. There's no question, all of them are actually complete flash games. Personally, Decision 3 left a rather difficult taste in my mouth. I felt some changes could've went a huge way. Honestly, it's worth playing one run especially if you're a fan of the series.

Quake: Dawn of the Machine (2026) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a few months ago Quake gotten another new expansion. To tie in to it's thirtieth anniversary automatically added to newer version of the game for free. Some of the same companies responsible for Quake: Dimension of the Past & Dimension of the Machine. Essentially a newer Quake 1 expansion trilogy.

Despite not being an huge fan of the game. I do occasionally enjoy boomer shooter games over the years. I do plan to make some comparisons you might expect. Otherwise I'm going to try just talking about the new expansion titled Quake: Dawn of the Machine. I do think this is among the greatest expansions for the classic worth of it's legacy.

Quake: Dawn of the Machine (2026)

The very first major thing I need to say is a huge step up from the previous two expansions they done. The levels are easily among the finest in all of Quake 1. They actually added some newer stuff including enemies to spice things up. This is not a short campaign by any means. I will confirm there will be back tracking.

I understand a lot of people don't like back tracking in video games. I will say this was a rather nice surprise. You need to collect four runes before getting access to the final levels. Yes there is a hub section you can select which levels to play. But inevitably you will need to replay the levels to a degree. Thankfully each rune you have will reduce it.

Not only that, three of them are found in secret levels. Which was a rather interesting decision to say the least. Usually they don't make you have to go to a few secret levels to beat the campaigns. The levels are notably bigger in scope feeling a more proper modernize Quake 1 experience. There's more secret levels than you would expect.

Also unlike some expansions is one huge campaign. It doesn't change the fact there's still a few smaller sets of levels representing particular runes. I will also confirm the final level does not disappoint either. There's a lot of surprises on the way to keep it interesting right up to the end. If you somehow stayed on top of back tracking during a run.

I actually didn't look up any video guides during my 1st run. Being a rather unusual, unexpected thing that happened. This was way better than Episode 5: Alien World Order from Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour. There's a much clearer focus in it's concept as well as it's execution. They don't feel like reskinning older Quake 1 levels.

This is among the longest campaigns in Quake 1 to date. I do get why this gotten nominated for Golden Joystick Awards 2026's Best Game Expansion award. I actually voted for Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations. There's no in game map making a full run way more frustrating than it needed to be. A major thing I preferred in Quake II despite the compass gotten confused to a degree.

Yeah I was a bit disappointed this turned out to be Nightdive's surprise at QuakeCon 2026. I will say it's a decent expansion for what it is. I actually was a bigger fan of 3DO campaign of Killing Time added to Killing Time: Resurrected. I hope you liked getting tested in a few ways. Your wits especially how well you could adapt to situations going to be tested a lot.

I felt it's like Legacy of Rust in Doom 1 + Doom 2 to a degree. Both being the most recent, ambitious campaigns worthy of their respective boomer shooter games. Considering most levels had over an hundred enemies was mind blowing!!! A lot of the secrets are well hidden. Thankfully this didn't have a serious lack of ammo issue.

As for the final boss, it's Chthon again. But somehow they made this a rather fun final boss fight. You get a lot of ammo as well as a particular power up to avoid taking damage in lava. Yes you also deal with several enemies during this. I'm really glad this wasn't a few bosses in the same area situation. I usually don't enjoy Quake 1 final boss fights.

The soundtrack was decent that helped kept me going. It wasn't my favorite within these campaigns. But it clearly did not suck by any means. I just personally wished for a more killer soundtrack. To a degree, this campaign reminded me of Hexen and it's expansions. Sure there's some aspects I preferred more in Heretic + Hexen.

Quake: Dawn of the Machine still a lot of fun to play. You might want to closely follow a walkthrough to help reduce back tracking. If you dislike back tracking as a whole I can't recommend this. In a way I hope some of the other remasters Nightdive done gets newer campaigns eventually. I will also confess this is the third time they made an expansion for Quake 1.

It already started to rub me the wrong way. Despite things, this was worth playing in time for Halloween. This had huge potential that truly lived up to. You can tell a couple months went into making this expansion. No signs being rushed unlike the previous two expansions. Honestly, I also recommend for those not patient.

Make sure you unlocked Cheats before you start playing. Activate the codes you want to make a lot of this more fun or at least somewhat enjoyable. The insane scope actually felt like it's own game than an expansion. Something I usually don't say about expansions for boomer shooter games. Quake may not necessary needed a newer campaign to celebrate it's legacy.

I'm glad they still made such a great campaign for such a milestone. Quake: Dawn of the Machine was beyond anything this game done before. Right now, I do think it's the best expansion to date!!! My standards are quite high after I fully played this. It's mind how much thought went into the level designs.

The actual story is a bit shorter than expected. But you can find these books that gives hints just not quite clear. You got to take a little time to figure them out even without reading them. I also recommend carefully check around the levels. You will be very surprise how much you'll miss? Honestly, for a free expansion it's among the best I ever played!!!

They took what essentially was Quake 1. Then turned it up to thirteen with it's ambitious scope. This easily could've fell hard yet rise much higher than anyone expected!!! The puzzles were honestly my overall favorite in all the campaigns. Somehow this newer expansion campaign became my favorite aspect of the game.

I still might not be crazy for it's base game. This expansion virtually brought new life to this classic. In every possible aspect was absolutely nailed. You should pay extra attention during an 1st run to make any additional revisits to levels a little better. It's still frustrating when you're in a set of levels you already gotten it's rune.

You have to finish it out again before reaching the hub again. Each rune you have will make revisiting them much better. Let's take a particular level you need to sacrifice people to process. A later revisit of the same level I played up to a door I previously couldn't access. This effective cut a large portion of the level out making it much shorter!!!

Quake: Dawn of the Machine is truly amazing at everything it does. I always was a bigger Doom fan though. I will say this out of respect, you need to play this!!! This really felt like Quake 1 that's perfection!!! Honestly, they took what they learned from the previous two expansions. They really knocked this expansion out the park!!!

Updated Futurama review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, it's official Futurama just ended for a third time. Man still not used to any shows ending more than twice. But Futurama is still among my favorites. I recently finished watching Season 14 through Hulu. Honestly, I got a lot to say while updating my Futurama review at the same time.

Futurama (2023-2026) Hulu run

Now I can confirm easily among the greatest runs the show ever had!!! I know I made it crystal clear I had a strong dislike for Season 5 not changed. I even felt a lot of these newer Futurama episodes are among the greatest to date. Futurama slowly joined in on doing specials like The Simpsons and South America used to be called South Park respectively.

Eventually I do plan on a rather ambitious review of The Simpsons Disney+ exclusive episodes. For the present, I wanna focus more on Futurama. There was a crossover episode with Disenchantment that now acts as a true conclusion to that show's story. Futurama proven there's still an insane amount of possibilities to explore.

Even about a show that's in a distant future. Futurama widely known for it's complexity in a way like The Big Bang Theory. I am a bit sad the show once again ended. I didn't think I would live through three of it's runs. Yet here I am reviewing it again with additional stuff. Yes I do think Futurama deserves this updated review.

I'm happy they kept expanding everything while doing a great job not being too much. The current season finale episode was a decent episode. They made sure the event Futurama came back for a fourth run. The door still open to deliver more insanity. I still felt the previous series finale is the one to beat. I will also agree to come back reviewing Futurama specials in the near future.

There's still a lot of great surprises that made the entire Hulu run among my favorites. I really didn't expect these newer episodes were going to be such inspiration as well as quite fun to watch. Maybe it's a good time to end the show before things started to go south not a shot at South America either. Some of the other animated sitcoms have questionable factors.

It's hard to say how much longer some of those shows going to continue for? Then again The Simpsons being the most famous example of a coach roach surviving a nuclear war. I'm still glad the cast came back for these episodes. Being a few seasons on a streaming services rather than airing them on television or in Season 5's case started as four movies.

Although streaming services still gets impacted by the amount of views like television shows. Thankfully Matt Groening still involved with the newer seasons. I can't believe being him to end the same animated sitcom three times must've felt like!!! I even felt these newer seasons were notably better than some of the newer seasons of The Simpsons.

Somehow these newer seasons felt a little better or close to the original run. Now that's a testament how well these seasons were truly done that speaks volumes. Unfortunately they didn't do any What If Machine episodes. There's a few holiday episodes to a degree. Of course, Bender always doing stupid stuff I can't get enough of.

Just when you think you know or seen everything. Futurama always does something you really couldn't expect or see coming during 1st watching. Honestly, the show kept adding surprising connections you really wouldn't expect. Like Leela and Dr. Zoidberg actually are cousins no joke. I also welcome seeing more of the universe or a complex concept.

I also felt in a way they ended the show to help get more views towards the newer seasons of King of the Hill show. I'm talking about the newer revival show also on Hulu to clarify. Beavis & Butt-Head came back through Hulu but ended up on Comedy Central. Which would also be it's overall third run. Indirectly some people must've be thinking Hulu declining.

Futurama felt like keep it the way it was. But also modernize it in a way that doesn't ruin the show. Which is out doing a lot of newer related shows to many classic cartoon shows. It's already out doing a time capsule. A time capsule is a container with stuff placed inside. You hid it usually in the ground for a notable long period.

Then someone digs it up to see how well that capsule held up? Futurama bounced back from the worst that kept getting better. The uniqueness of it all is why I always put it ahead of The Simpsons. But both of them are still among the most creative shows I ever watched!!! Not to directly insult The Simpsons with this logic.

It's quality over quantity with The Simpsons being quantity in this situation. There's still a lot of great episodes in that show though. Futurama was a great spiritual successor that's in the same shared universe. In a few areas The Simpsons didn't nailed as well. Especially where Futurama truly shines bright!!!

Futurama was truly next level stuff with it's third run. I actually wanted more episodes with the last season being an episode shorter. But through the specials going to still end up as the longest season in that run. It's such logic you really need to use to while watching the show. Honestly, it's a great party no one really wanna leave anytime soon!!!

I knew as soon as I started seeing posts the show ended a third time. I had to do an updated review of the show. I'm quite happy to do just that since it's such a great show. Futurama is a show people always want more of in some form. Even Groening himself felt inevitably the show could come back. Also happy Fry stayed married to Leela in the third run.

They even went out of their way to do an episode involving water. Which quickly became a series of parodies that somehow worked together. Futurama kept a lot of characters around despite things!!! This show filled with so much potential to be something truly amazing. Futurama is a show that always changes perceptive even in weird angles.

Yeah the confusing seasons system being a notable issue. Largely due to it's second run on Comedy Central. The fact we nearly waited a decade for it's third run. Honestly, the newer seasons felt well worth the wait. They really knew how to keep it a great show. I know that leaves us with one question. Which run was superior between it's 1st or 3rd run?

Majority of their episodes are well done for their time. Both had many episodes I'm a huge fan of. It really coming down to the little things. After much needed consideration I decided to go with it's 3rd run. I actually laughed more in this run than it's 1st run. Being an animated sitcom that's critical here.

The further adding to back stories was a huge factor.

Also some of the bigger twists were better executed in it's 3rd run as well. I didn't expect to finally change which run of Futurama I liked the most? Both are notably better than it's 2nd run. I felt majority of Futurama fans would agree to that. But end of the day, it's 3rd run really went the distance. Some truly fantastic episodes I really couldn't ignore either.

Another thing I respect even if some view it as a small thing. Hulu run consistently kept each season at ten episodes. Which is tricky to do even for a streaming animated sitcoms. Another huge factor is the cast still works incredibly well after such a huge time gap between it's 2nd and 3rd runs. The current run it ended in truly felt like the perfect run in every sense of the word.

I also wanna confirm the specials didn't impact my decision. I will say it's 3rd run felt like how the 1st run did many years ago was among the most mind blowing aspects!!! Which was a rather difficult thing to pull off. Honestly, Futurama ended with a few decent seasons I couldn't get enough of. The only notable issue is those seasons being exclusive to Hulu.

I also felt it was a great usage of seasons being exclusive to a particular streaming service. Altogether being among my favorite overall runs from them to date. Futurama absolutely nailed exactly what we loved while improving over what we didn't like. Hulu seasons even with Season 13 dropped an entire season the same day worked insanely well!!!

My Thoughts on Death Battle: Shadow vs Mewtwo rematch

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I took a lot of extra time to cover this particular topic. I did wait a little over an decade for the web show Death Battle. To do a particular rematch which covers most of my marriage funny enough. The original version was among my most hated episodes of the show. Of course, I had to reveal my thoughts on the newer version.

Death Battle: Shadow vs Mewtwo rematch (2026)

I will start by saying this version is a lot better!!! Sure I did technically wait longer for Master Chief vs Doomguy now Doom Slayer rematch. This was among my most wanted rematches for the show. The actual analyze section for both characters is more accurate. The fight animation itself was way better there's no questioning that!!!

The results ended up being a little more interesting than I thought. I knew Sonic X Shadow Generations going to play a huge role in their research. Just like the original version, I still think Shadow would win. I actually like both these characters myself. Shadow my favorite Sonic character since Sonic Adventure 2. I personally found the character quite interesting over the years.

Again Keenu Reeves absolutely nailed him in Sonic 3 movie. Not only this felt more accurate but also notably more consistent. The original episode unfortunately was a victim of getting rushed out. Which isn't a problem anymore since it became an indie web show. The fight song is up there among the fight songs of the season.

To be honest, I still questioning how exactly they pick the lineup? We gotten two episodes with Chainsaw Man that I heavily enjoyed a lot. I would say easily one of the best fight animations of the season. In a way being the last Death Battle episode before I moved out of my home state. Indirectly further made it a more special episode for me.

I also felt they absolutely nailed Shadow incredibly well. I even felt this is better than Shadow vs Ryuko. I still heavily enjoyed Shadow vs Vegeta a lot though. I felt it was a decent length episode for such a rematch. I felt most Goku vs Superman episodes were a little too long. Shadow vs Mewtwo was even featured on a particular poll from kickstarters.

Sure the winner of that poll was Master Chief vs Doom Slayer. Which would've been my number choice at that time. Shadow vs Mewtwo easily would've been my second vote. In a few ways, I enjoyed this rematch more than that. It was a notably closer match up that heavily impacted things. But also they indirectly publicly confessed they were wrong!!!

I know for both Ryu vs Jin and Hulk vs Broly. They publicly confessed those were wrong. Somehow it just hits different through this rematch episode. You have two strikingly similar characters even if some aspects occurred through compositing a few versions together. I still felt they are quite different in plenty of ways.

I'm quite happy Shadow this time around. Even I must confess even as a Sonic fan. They should start distancing episodes with Sonic characters. Both the episodes we gotten this season with Sonic characters been really awesome!!! It's starting to get to a point there's plenty other franchises!!! For what it is I had a lot of fun watching the episode during it's live premiere.

I also liked they chosen to do the rematch in 3D animation instead of sprites. Personally I felt that better represented both the characters. Easily among my favorite rematch episodes to date. Now Shadow has two wins and two losses on the show. Who knows if Shadow could return in the near future? What I do know is this really needed to be done again thank you guys so much!!!

Brief thoughts on Death Battle: Goku vs Saitama

I'm not going to sugar coat things it's incredibly boring!!! We're putting a character with no clear limits against another who constantly breaking limits!!! I really felt Goku has too many critical advantages. Yeah like many people I do believe they're doing this to simply give Goku a win. Indirectly this is Goku vs Superman once again!!!

I also felt the power gap is too massive. I was more into Omni-Man vs Bardock. Which is also guilty of the same thing. Indirectly you also could say that about Vegeta vs Thor. But to be honest that one easily my favorites along with Reverse-Flash vs Goku Black. Both of those were more notably interesting to me.

The fast version if you couldn't wait to hear my thoughts. Yes I am officially siding with Goku here. I never cared for Saitama myself. I already left Dragon Ball franchise for a few reasons. Even I must confess Goku has scary high potential. Yes even for a Shonen protagonist being insanely powerful among them.

Conclusion

I don't plan to share my thoughts on the next episode after it comes out. I highly doubt there's a notable demand to do so. I just hope we aren't doing the bonus episode of Light vs Columbo. Which also so happens to be incredibly boring as well. I do think the season finale going to be a rather fun one to end an season on.
