Which Platformer Style Do I Like More 2D or 3D?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, recently a particular gaming question popped inside my head. I didn't considered much over the years. This plays into everyone has different taste in gaming. Sometimes that applies to particular sub genres within genres. In this case, which do I prefer more 2D or 3D platformers? I am not going to lie this is a difficult one to answer.

I strongly felt there's some fantastic platformers in both styles I played. I'm not considering games that represents both styles or mostly 2.5D. There's many differences between the two styles. Some factors like if they have time limits can be done differently. Occasionally both hid in secrets as well as hidden paths within the levels.

Usually one of my favorite aspects regardless of styles is the music. Platformers is usually among my favorite music wise. I also could say that about fighting games to a degree. I felt with more genres you gotta be select about which ones you like. Everyone knows Doom series has some sick soundtracks!!! It's like trying to explain what the third dimension is like on The Simpsons.

Sure this occurred on a particular Treehouse of Horror episode. Professor Frink explains the concept with huge reactions. Which also applies here because people don't realize how exactly different these styles are? 2D was more of the classic platformer style. I believe Pitfall! on Atari 2600 was among the first successful platformer video games in history.

During the 90s, 3D platformers started becoming big. I easily could throw out a few names that's somehow still around all these years. If we were to limit to the 90s era, Not many 2D platformers had a save feature on consoles. I do enjoy Jazz Jackrabbit series on GOG. Save feature was one of many things 3D platformers used to stand out more.

Another huge difference is particular style only 3D platformers could do at the time. Occasionally you keep the game unpause not doing anything. They would say or do something with the craziest being Sonic CD. If you do this for too long Sonic will jump offscreen ending the section I'm not kidding. Crash Bandicoot trilogy was famous for it's death animations.

Not many 2D platformers did that except for Bubsy surprisingly enough. I know this is minor compared to the huge differences. Like in some levels within Crash Bandicoot trilogy. You start going towards the screen for majority of those levels. These were used to be a popular platformer trend where you're being chased through levels.

Some 2D platformers had levels you were forced to rush through. Usually something huge on the left side quickly moving towards you. These can be rather repetitive levels at times. Crash Bandicoot trilogy also had levels you ride on smaller animals to get through em. 3D platformers were more known for being a huge collect-a-thon experiences.

These platformers were filled with a lot more to do. In order to get all the collectibles that usually led to a great surprise at the end. This is important because Gex Trilogy has one 2D platformer with it's two sequels being 3D platformers. People notice how much fewer content the original Gex was in comparison.

This also could worked against them. A major reason why majority prefers Banjo-Kazooie over Banjo-Tooie. The overall process was much smaller with not being nearly as complexity. Many people felt Banjo-Tooie was too much or more directly went too ambitious in scale. Some 2D platformers had a few playable characters like Sonic series on Sega Genesis.

I always liked the art style of either style to a degree. On one hand, 2D platformers might be shorter length video games. At the same time, decent ones really gave you quite an unforgiving impact!!! 3D platformers even if it's just to play through em are notably longer in comparison. What I really loved about decent 3D platformers you simply can't do in 2D ones?

Some of them allows you to spin the camera around to see more of the levels or hub sections better. We all should thank Super Mario 64 making that possible. It's also trickier to say which style was actually harder. I felt decent 2D platformers close to half slowly increase the difficulty. For 3D platformers it's not far into the experience you'll get that.

You could spent hours doing everything in a level. A real possibility within 3D platformers of that era. I know this sounds ridiculous for some to accept. Especially people that wanna play more levels. Even if it's just something to do. Man it's truly amazing how much work goes into some of those 3D levels. Of course, I played some fantastic 2D levels as well.

The ratio will differ because how each style differs from each other. For 2D platformers, you want an challenging game that isn't impossible to complete. For 3D platformers, you actually want something more unexpected. Spyro trilogy is great for that hands down!!! Both styles has some creativity I won't forget.

Boss fights wise I actually prefer em in 2D platformer games. Don't get me wrong, there's some amazing boss fights within 3D platformers. Indirectly, it depends how 3D platformers goes about procession as well as pacing. This can deeply impact the entire experience.  I felt finding bonus areas was notably easier in 3D platformers.

I felt you really can't go wrong with either style platformer games. I also didn't expect this to be so difficult to answer either. It really comes down the little things. Simply preferring several aspects over each other. Honestly I felt it came down to two major factors. Variety within the game play and the controls itself.

What's the most essential part of a video game? Why being able to control an character or more how you want to. 3D platformer you have to be more critical about making trickly to land jumps. It's much easier in 2D platformers since you can only move forward or backwards. Now imagine a lot more possible directions to go you're actually playing an 3D platformer.

This matters because you will have a harder time telling if you could make it onto another platform. Of course, we gotta talk about sections with moving platforms. 3D platformers will challenge how well you can adept to situations. They also have more variety of abilities you could do. Banjo-Kazooie started this trend that I felt was done best in Banjo-Tooie.

In Banjo-Tooie, all previous moves already given to you. Now you got a lot more newer abilities to truly spice up the game play. Usually you mostly jump that's it in either style games. Some franchises does many things to help differ em from each other. Crash Bandicoot series is more meant for hardcore gamers.

I haven't found an 2D platformer that's similar to Conker's Bad Fur Day. Seriously that's such an interesting N64 game to me. I don't necessary find 2D platformers boring by any means. I just felt during 90s to early 2000s aka the golden platformer era. I would have to say I'm a little more impressed by 3D platformers.

I never planned to played off 2D going into 3D statement. In all honestly, there's some great platformers of either style. I simply felt more of everything when playing an 3D platformer. Let's take both Sonic Adventure games for an example. Both has a few storylines with particular characters you play as. Each having a different overall game play style.

They also have upgrades for particular characters that helps in some ways. Even Crash Bandicoot: Warped worked well with time travel. A truly fantastic 3D platformer especially the remastered version. I know a lot of people aren't crazy about collecting aspects of those games. You also can't deny these platformers really blew people's minds!!!

You really felt like you got your money's worth with an decent 3D platformer. You could've played two or three decent 3D platformers. But somehow those pales in comparison. Honestly, 3D platformers used to be truly amazing stuff. If you want great platformers of either styles. I highly recommend checking out some amazing indie platformer games.

2D platformers used to be among the most popular genres in gaming. Very true during the 90s with Nintendo vs Sega rivalry going on. Not to mention, the famous video game mascot war trend. It's also true 3D platformers aren't as popular. It doesn't change the fact these platformers were great video games.

This is excluding the remastered trilogies of Crash and Spyro respectively. Which both of those are truly fantastic collection games!!! I will give some credit to 2D platformers. For a time, they really did stand out before 3D became a new gaming trend. It's difficult to pick which 3D platformer is my overall favorite?

Obviously Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Sega Genesis always been my favorite 2D platformer. Yes I played some amazing 2D platformers. Honestly, I would have to say as of recently Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. I loved both versions myself even with the difficulty. I grew up playing the PS1 version I never finished it.

I did play through the remastered version on two platforms. I simply felt Crash 2 was essentially the greatest platformer I ever played!!! I bet you weren't expecting me to say that huh? Crash 2 is absolutely amazing in every aspect more true with the remastered version. I know some would've picked Crash 3 for many reasons.

In all honestly, Crash 2 has a really great ratio of everything to make it an timeless classic. Easily among the greatest video games I ever played!!! As much as I love Sonic 2 on Sega Genesis. Yeah it's great but not as good as Crash 2 on either platform. Overall, I felt I appreciate 3D platformers a little more than great 2D platformers I played.

My thoughts on Puppet Master: The Game delisting

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, one of my favorite recent multiplayer games is sadly getting delisted. As of late next month, I'm talking about Puppet Master: The Game. I'm just missing the last paid DLC that's it. I was a huge supporter for this licensed multiplayer horror game. It still hearts such an amazing game getting delisted soon.

I know licensed games has a notably shorter shelf life to video games that aren't. I have plenty of great memories playing this game. Either by myself or playing with other people to a degree. Puppet Wars was my favorite mode in the entire game. I absolutely loved everything about that mode!!! Full blown chaos no one is safe!!!

There's four factions with the guest character faction being the Demonic Toys. Although this by itself is rather an interesting topic. At one point, Full Moon planned an crossover movie. Somehow unofficially Sci-Fi made the movie. I don't know if Dollman Kills The Full Moon Universe comic series counts or not. Sadly some of those characters aren't coming.

A lot of us really wanted Dollman or Gingerdead Man to be in the game. There's a lot of skins the characters can wear. Including cosmetics that affects their weapons. Very few of them mostly Blade has a few finishers. The actual maps including the toy factory from Demonic Toys series is accurately portrayed. Of course, I always welcome the Puppet Master theme song playing.

There's a good variety of multiplayer modes. They pulled in so many Puppet Master characters. I also liked each faction minus human one has an Dominator. All were well selected at that like Teddy whose a huge beast. The biggest character you can play in single player too. He may not jump or be able to fully explore maps.

He sure makes up for it in many ways. I also loved you use in game points for a lot of cosmetics or perks. Both of which really helps to bring in the true depth of customization. If you already owned the game you still can play it to a degree. I don't know if we could play online matches following it's delisting. If it remains make sure you joined their discord.

Trust me, it's a very nice community there. The developers are shifting focus back to Horror Legends. Which is another decent multiplayer horror game they made. Puppet Master was in development a long time. I recalled being happy the game came to Steam a few years ago. Last year, finally left early access program.

Before all the crazy credit card stuff happened. Full Moon is going to reveal the tenth and final movie from the poll very soon. I gotten an response off of reddit regarding that. Puppet Master was such an unique game for the genre. I don't even have a lot of games to directly compare to it honestly. It's a shame the recent licensed multiplayer horror game delistings.

I felt Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is possibly getting delisted itself soon. Puppet Master was such a huge fan love letter to the franchise. I even loved the paid DLCs more than expected. We had a rather interesting variety. The most unexpected being they made skin cosmetics for the puppets based on licensed toys.

To clarify, there was a toy line of the characters. Some of the people within the community knew about em. Personally I thought it was a very cool idea to bring those into the game. They also made some sick original skins as well. Up to the last paid DLC, it's mostly Puppet Master. The only exception was being Demonic Toys DLCs.

Which were absolutely amazing stuff!!! I felt bringing those characters into the game was a great idea. Not only that, they even brought in a few characters like a lady from two Puppet Master movies. Puppet Master 4 and 5 respectively that was close to those movie's puppet master. I absolutely loved as a smaller character going through the vents.

Despite a few maps became vents like mazes to a degree. Honestly, I was more surprised how well designed each map was. I explored as much as I could by myself. You would be amazed how much detail went into these. The biggest update was mind blowing!!! I won't even criticize the final paid DLC in that.

I do loved the Punkie Blade skin as well. This is easily among the sickest paid cosmetics in the game!!! Clearly Full Moon is going more towards AI in it's newer films. I don't fully support the direction they're going into. I do support they done that poll a few weeks ago. I just felt such a move should've been much sooner.

As for this Puppet Master game it really lives up to many expectations I had. This is the best 2020 Puppet Master thing by far!!! I easily could say they're outdoing the actual movie company. But that also could in a way disrespect the developers as well. This could even be the only game of the franchise to exist.

I'm glad I gotten to play a lot of hours into this Puppet Master game. Balancing wise, it's actually the best I seen in the games of that style I played. No one was notably too buffed or nerfed. It is the most fun playing with other people. Especially some of them being huge Full Moon fans. I would also loved to had said there's some life left in this.

Officially it's getting delisted will upset many Full Moon fans that played the game. I don't know if this also included Subspecies DLC in Horror Legends or not. Which is also a pretty sick DLC from what I played. I do know the developers are huge Full Moon fans. This was a dream that came true for them. Puppet Master was a game that truly brought people together in a good way.

Sure we may criticize several aspects of the newer entries to a degree. The franchise itself always meant so much to me. Puppet Master is such an underrated franchise. If you stick with the first five movies. More recently overlooked for many reasons. It's more of a gem horror movie franchise in it's current state.

I had plenty of cool ideas for this game too. It is a difficult pill for me to swallow. I also know inevitably this was going to happen. I just wish it could've stayed a little longer. The game never peaked too soon which is quite rare to say. This game had huge potential if it kept on going. Considering how many movies this franchise had.

I already decided to be rather selective which upcoming licensed horror games to support. Hellraiser being at the top of that list right now. Puppet Master had a great variety of stuff only particular characters could do. Some of which could be done by other characters. But ultimately done differently animation wise to help those to stand out more.

This isn't recycling animations like Dead by Daylight not sorry. Puppet Master was a game that just not quite on enough people's radars. I don't think that's all the reasons for it's delisting. Puppet Master never been a high grossing horror movie franchise to begin with. I simply think Full Moon putting more focus on their movies is the main reason.

Yes more so than the developers focusing more on Horror Legends at the moment. I do think they will continue to make more games in the near future. I'm glad they aren't just sending em out like some indie developers do. Let's put it this way, just when you thought franchises like Call of Duty. Keep releasing a game nearly every year.

I actually seen some of these indie developers often release games. Usually strikingly similar to each other on a more daily basis. I'm thankful they didn't rush anything out with the game. I also appreciated they always sticked close with their community. Especially making some huge decisions with us meant a lot to me.

Puppet Master changed multiplayer games for me. In a way, I now see ways it could be somewhat refreshing. This game forever changed anyone that played it lifes forever!!! The world should've deeply missed such a game. Right now I'm hoping something could happen to get the game onto GOG soon. They have a lot of indie video games there.

The future may look somewhat grim. I'm sure there's some cool Puppet Master surprises soon. We still waiting for Puppet Master spin off movie with Leech Woman. I still wished they would've done one with Torch. Regardless, this game I always was quite hyped for the updates. I don't recall another multiplayer game I done that with previously.

My thoughts on Black Clover

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, we're on the verge of another manga series ending in a few months. In this case I'm talking about Black Clover. I actually gotten into this as I was getting in the Dark Trio manga wise. I will try to not spoil much as I discuss my thoughts on it. I do plan to review this in a few months as well.

Black Clover

Originally I was going to start out slowly to introduce things. I personally felt that would've been disrespectful to it's main character Asta. I strongly felt this was the next Bleach. I know a lot of people view Jujutsu Kaisen as that. Black Clover to me was way better in comparison. It's not often when an manga series gets transferred.

Black Clover used to be written at the same manga company as many popular Shonen manga series. The author couldn't keep up that led to the transfer. Officially it's a lesser known manga company from the big one he came from. During the few years of it's run. We're currently waiting for the final chapters right now.

The author would release a few chapters together over a few months period. I'm used to this because of Berserk had very notable waits for chapters. The story was getting rushed before his transfer. Although from that period of chapters I still ended up liking to a degree. I figured to get some of this before talking about exactly what is Black Clover?

On a more sad possibly depressing note. The author currently going through a difficult time. His family isn't doing well with an childhood friend passed away. I think it's becoming more obvious he wants to finish the story soon. Hopefully before something else bad could happen. I wanna say Yuki Tabata earned my respect with this story.

Now I feel better to talk about Black Clover. It's a story about a young kid whose born without magic. A world filled with magic users making him an outcast. His name is Asta with the dream of becoming the Wizard King. By now, many Shonen franchises has a similar dream. Like Monkey D. Luffy wants to become the King of the Pirates.

Black Clover is essentially a more medieval magic Bleach. There's some strikingly strong similarities to Bleach I couldn't ignore. Asta has some huge similarities with Ichigo Kurosaki. A huge part of how brigades are set up is similar to the 13 Court Guard Squads. Black Clover does differ in many ways from Bleach.

I simply love the real twist being this character lacks magic. Yet he ends up getting access to anti-magic. Which ends up being a truly scary thing in the right hands. Asta is proof you may not be born like everyone else. At the same time, if you're willing to work hard for your goals. Then in due time you could become a respectful warrior to the kingdom.

Asta does become an knight in a rather interesting brigade. I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about the rest of them. I didn't expect to really prefer the Black Bulls that much. Black Clover does have some huge twists you won't see coming. I am excited to eventually see the rest of the ending myself. A lot of rememberable characters on the way.

Black Clover is a story you could quickly get behind. The underdog that's blowing away people's expectations is exactly what Asta does. I know some people are quite harsh even before the story's transferred. I have seen worst rushed story arcs coughs Jujutsu Kaisen. I do see the potential of Black Clover.

You're getting a rather unique take on the concept. So many similar stories has the main character with higher than expected magic potential. Yet we got a guy who rather directly fight his enemies regardless what they could do. Not only that, this story even made some magic types more interesting as well. There's some amazing depth to that especially later on in the story.

I felt Black Clover deserves a little more respect. Especially if it ends up with a better ending than My Hero Academia or Jujutsu Kaisen respectively. I was even surprised how much Bleach inspired this!!! Yes they do cover the other nearby countries. I also liked they made training essential in the story. Black Clover felt like Bleach while more of it's own thing.

Obviously not just a Bleach rip off with a cheap coat of paint that's it. The story gets a little deeper than expected at times. The action with many fights being very destructive. Let's be honest, you expect places getting destroyed. You also expect people tanking or getting sent flying from blows. Throwing in complexity with several types of magic.

It's not Naruto's techniques repetitive but it does come close sometimes. I also wanna say the drawing during some of the craziest battles were mind blowing!!! This is a story that delivers on epic showdowns. It also delivers on many critical twists as the story goes on. Black Clover made Asta's journey a rather unique one at that.

This guy will never back down no matter how grim things seems to be. I know some people compared Asta to Dragon Ball's Goku. But he's way more like Ichigo than anyone else. I actually could see an crossover with these two being very awesome!!! I never said it was Jump Force lol. "Oh you're serious!!! ha ha!!!"

Black Clover was an outside the box idea. Some stuff you could expect may show up in the story. I am trying to not give direct spoilers. I will confirm Black Clover is a reference to Asta's grimoire. You would be surprise all the stuff Asta pushed through. I also wanna give my thoughts on how I think his story could end.

I don't have any inside information whatsoever. I do have some rather interesting ideas though. The first idea is he won't be allowed to become the Wizard King. Which may upset a lot of people before they fully reveal what's in store for him. They might create a new third king position. There's currently two king positions for the Clover Kingdom.

You got your usual king, I never cared for the guy. You also have the Wizard King. Whose suppose to be the strongest magic user in the kingdom. I believe this third king position could be meant for the underdogs like Asta. Regardless of their obstacles, their incredible determination. Eventually earning that position could be a nice reward.

The other realistic possibility is Asta gets offered to become the new captain of the Black Bulls. Let's be honest, the guy beneath his captain doesn't want his job. His captain does depend on Asta a lot as well. He virtually like a father figure to him. An handful of characters including Yami is similar to Bleach's Kenpachi Zaraki.

I highly doubt Asta be given his own brigade. He ended up bringing them together in a way no body previously had. I wouldn't be surprised if the author went this route plays on that. I do believe some last major twists might leave some rather mixed reactions from people. The Black Bulls are like an family more than anything else.

I do plan to read more manga series. Both finished with not many ongoing manga series. Right now I wanted to stick with four ongoing manga series that's all on the verge of ending. I'll be mixed emotions myself when the story is over. On one hand, I felt I'm going to enjoy the ending. At least more than a lot of people.

On the other, I still want more of the franchise. I'm sure there's some possible room to continue something in some way. It doesn't even need to be an sequel. It even could've been a surprise spin off story that eventually connects to the main story. Black Clover quickly left a huge mark. I actually see it as an unique gem of a magical action adventure story.

It's notably more about the action. But I do like how it goes about the adventure aspects. I don't wanna say this suddenly made stuff like Harry Potter franchise look bad. We all simply have different taste in things. I particular an swordsman main character in these style stories. A major reason why I liked Sword Art Online shows as well.

Black Clover brings so much to the table. It may not be the greatest manga story ever written. It's far from some of the worst I heard off videos as well as websites. It felt more like the right people would enjoy the story a lot. I love when some of the complexity in the story telling shows up. This is far from a rather uninspired magic story.

You would be amazed how much I'm not revealing. The only way you're going to know is my upcoming review of Black Clover. Which will have a lot of huge spoilers. For the present, Black Clover was unlike anything I ever came across manga wise previously. I wasn't expecting how truly awesome things actually get!!!

Stranger Things (2016-2025) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently finished watching an Netflix show called Stranger Things. Despite being five actual seasons nearly an decade went into making the complete show. Of course, some controversialities on the way with it's final season being no exception. I knew eventually I had to review this show.

Stranger Things (2016-2025)

A large amount of the concept heavily showcasing the 80s. I wouldn't be surprise another show doing the same for the 90s happens soon. Along with my wife, we're both born 1989. We barely missed out on the 80s ourselves. A lot of influences were quite obvious. The Duffer Brothers are huge fans of D&D. They also confirmed Silent Hill was a major inspiration.

A lot of the characters are rememberable. Even an handful that doesn't live long on the show. We get to see many seasons play out from several sides. From the beginning, there's always this big mystery. Eventually majority of them gets answered in some way. I do liked they deal with going beyond an plain of existence. Little did any of us know they finally cross things to a parallel world.

If you lived in the 80s this show going to bring back a lot of memories. I would say most of the episodes felt like a great movie series. I know recently regarding Season 5 people are criticizing the hell out of it. Going back what I previous said about marathon reading Chainsaw Man. A lot of them are marathon watching this show.

To the point, they don't fully register everything. Some personal stuff went full circle with an handful of characters. The final battle was criticized being too short. Honestly, I rather had more story following it than extending the battle with a more rushed out ending. I even cried during the final ending credits I was quite happy.

There's a lot of complexity they do often try to simplify to a degree. Let's be honest, some of the more recent stuff is nearly impossible to simplify in all honestly. I also felt Vecna aka Henry was a great antagonist for the show. A huge spoiler they pulled an Inuyasha villain twist on us. Anyone familiar with Inuyasha instantly knows what I just spoiled.

This show doesn't shy alone from the deaths. A large amount of the show kept reminding me of Half-Life series. Both franchises involves organizations that experiments with crazy theories. Which does include opening portals to another plain of existence. Quickly getting out of control with a lot of deaths. Half-Life also has some complex concepts within it's stories.

I'm also used to this through The Flash show I liked. This had a notably way better ending than that. Covid era slowed down production on many shows including Stranger Things. Which led to another famous controversiality. Majority of the younger cast members were too old to play their respective characters.

Honestly, they done a great job with what's been given. Yes they did replace Holly's actress. Although, I felt that turned out to be a great decision. Little did I realize her original actresses were twin sisters. They even used the same trick Full House done with the Olsen Twins. If anyone asks I'm a bigger fan of their sister Elizabeth.

For years this was among Netflix's biggest shows. Many people dropped everything to watch newer seasons of the show. Almost like great pay per view events or going to the movie theaters geared up. Yes I'm talking about getting snacks with a pair of 3D glasses. There's forty two episodes that do notably differ in length.

Usually the season finales are the longest episodes. The most recent being a little over two hours long. This move was obviously inspired by Attack on Titan. For those that doesn't know the strategy they done. Instead of doing more episodes to end it all. They actually done a little over an hour long specials. Two of them right after each other with a huge gap between em.

Speaking of that, I didn't like how they chosen to release the episodes for the final season. Starting with Season 4, they give you most of the episodes. But we had to wait for the final episodes. Now that isn't too bad compared to Season 5. Right before Thanksgiving we gotten four episodes. Christmas followed with three more episodes.

Finally the final episode on the last day of the year. I didn't felt they rushed production on that season. I'm more curious to see how Seasons 2 and 3 done with Squid Game. Considering those two seasons were film back to back. We will see if I finally get to review that Netflix show later on. There's plenty of moments with enough on both sides to relate to whoever watching.

For a streaming show, it does deliver entertainment. Sadly with it's reputation, it was doomed to have haters. Very true right now with the final season. Let's be honest, a lot of them doesn't properly understand the show. I also get a lot of people are heavily against loving same sex stuff. All I can say is many things going to follow suit.

Parts of that were there from the beginning!!! Some amazing actors & actresses appeared on the show. The more recent being Linda Hamilton. Whose widely known being the original actress to play Sarah Connor. I felt she done an amazing job with her role. I also noticed many trends came full circle in the final seasons outside the controversialities.

A good example being a newer group of D&D players with Mike's little sister. Dustin ended up becoming the new Eddie. Speaking of Eddie, the famous Metallica guitar moment. It was so great the actual band met with the actor. I personally absolutely loved this moment!!! Final season had more of those moments I loved with an passion.

The perfect line before Vecna dies by Winona Ryder yes!!! Let's be honest, a lot of his actions greatly affected her more than anything else. She was the first to start fighting against Vecna. It made perfect sense she finally gets her revenge. Several aspects of that was full circle. The Upside Down was never another plain of existence as it turns out.

This by itself turned everything we knew well upside down. What someone had to say it lol. I also loved most of the characters came together to take on Vecna. Stranger Things has plenty strange aspects as it goes on. For me it's just like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure with anything bizarre. There's little to nothing normal here!!!

The story can differ to a degree with pacing at times. I never felt any of it was notably rushed out. If you wanna see an final season rushed out. Then go watch the final season of Gotham. Now that's more rushed than this final season!!! Not only that, I also loved somehow everyone came together like a big family.

No one wanted to die neither leave any of the others behind. They simply wanted to save their world. At the same time doing what they can to be save. A large amount of the concept kept reminding me of Phantasm series. I'm surprised not many people notice some of the strong similarities. Confirmed inspirations or not this show has similarities I couldn't ignore.

Both has an main character named Mike. An group of humans taking an stand against an supernatural tyrant. Somehow involves several plains of existence. Also one of the main characters has similarities powers to the antagonist. Personally this final season was better than the final Phantasm movie. Rest in peace, Angus Scrimm aka The Tall Man.

I also wanna mention with so many franchises getting ruined after bringing in an multiverse. I actually felt this was among the better recent showcases of a multiverse. We only get to see two universes essentially. But compared to a lot of them going bigger. Maybe keep things smaller is ultimately better in the long run.

I was deeply impressed by everything honestly. I'm talking the insane quality as Tales from the Crypt as well as Ash vs. Evil Dead show. This show is absolutely perfect to watch close to or on Halloween. Stranger Things felt like something truly unique. Demogorgons are famous monsters in the franchise. I also loved we get to see the younger characters grow up as the story plays out.

Speaking of rushed out, I personally didn't like American Horror Story's Double Feature season. Pacing with rushing the ending to the first story made it among my least favorites to date. It also didn't help the story for the other story wasn't great with not decent special effects. This final season easily blew that season away!!!

This show might not been one I was there from the beginning. Now I kinda wished I was after I fully watched it. There's a few horror shows like Chucky I was there from the beginning. The final season was better than Chucky's Season 2. Stranger Things is a show that gets quite serious. It is so nice when the lighter moments shows up at times.

It's amazing despite everything that happened including nightmare fuel stuff. Majority of the characters kept their humanity in the end. Suddenly they acted as the light against Vecna's darkness. They were even out doing soldiers later on. I do have some favorite characters I'll reveal. Of course, I like Eleven a lot.

Alexei quickly became one of my favorite characters. He eventually became an ally with a sad ending. You actually felt bad for him after it happens. I gotta mention Murray Bauman aka the crazy guy. He went from not really wanting to help to becoming a great ally to the characters. I also liked Joyce a lot as well.

Easily my favorite parent character along with Hooper on the show. I previously mentioned Eddie who also had an sad ending. Bob Newby with a similar fate. It's kinda amusing the same actor played Sam in The Lord of the Rings movies. The live action movies prior to the live action The Hobbits movies. I do like majority of the kids as well.

By now the world getting more used to reliving the 80s. Notably done better here than in American Horror Story: 1984. I won't sugar coat things that season sucked!!! The interactions with the characters especially later on are like actual relationships to a degree. I know parts of that won't be taken seriously with all the crazy stuff that happens.

If I learned anything from the last decade. People sure can't get enough out of crazy shows. Stranger Things has surprising depths to many things especially within it's lore. There's plenty of surprises right up to the end. They even left us with a debate on a particular character's fate. Considering how well the same strategy worked for both versions of Silent Hill 2.

This was a double edge sword thing. Many people going to feel like "Oh come on!!!" I know others would like to believe in Mike's theory about their fate. What about a possible third option? She found a way to survive despite being a particular epic event with virtually 0% survival rate. In other words, she found a way to not die when the Upside Down was no more.

I know such an conclusion would bag so many questions with no enough answers. At the same time, they went this far with everything prior. Eleven herself is among the most powerful beings in the series. It's possible she might've noticed a weird loop hole allowing her to survive that. A particular multiversal Marvel show had a corrupted Doctor Strange that survived an universe collapsing on him.

Sometimes you gotta believe or just accepts the impossible can be done. Suddenly majority of the show makes even more sense with that logic. It isn't a perfect show by any means. There actually doesn't exist many shows I personally considered to be perfect. The last thing I wanna do is in a sense disrespect Stranger Things by naming some of those shows.

I will say this though easily among the greatest Netflix shows I ever seen!!! This went from a show with such an reputation I didn't wanna considered watching to thank god I gave it a chance. This show is absolutely amazing at nearly everything it does. Other than later seasons being broken up releasing em. My other huge issue is sometimes a little too much going on.

Even with the final season it eventually balanced itself out. They went for a much deeper story telling for it's final season. I also felt this show can't be copied neither recreated in anyway. It is essentially a rather unique show that brought many people together. Just like what eventually happened on the show itself.

Why parodies works better in shows than movies?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's a concept I kept thinking about for months. I'm sure a lot of people notice parodies within shows is notably funnier than in movies. This also include movies not meant to be parody movies that's comedy films I know I'm about to open a huge can of worms here. I felt there's some great reasons why parodies simply works better in shows.

Obviously a movie even it's meant to be just one could take a few years to make. In a sense, seasons of a show are more monthly with their productions. A major difference is most movie franchises doesn't plan for a sequel movie. Usually horror movie franchises do since there's huge money in em. This also explains why sometime there's a longer notable gap between movies.

Even comedy films suffers from trying to get em done. A movie is one planned project compared to a season of show that can differ in many ways. Episodes could be longer or shorter than expected. Seasons can also differ on the amount of episodes as well. Shows can more directly keep things fresh. There's plenty sitcom shows that's proof of that.

Yes some are quite offensive not meant for everyone. Shows more likely stick closer to the original concepts. It doesn't mean some aspects can't change overtime. A good example being Steve Urkel in Family Matters. Originally he was going to appear once. His surprise popularity from that appearance led the character being an recurring character on the show.

In fact, most Family Matters fans considers him among the best characters on that show. Another famous example was Penny for The Big Bang Theory. A slightly different situation, they originally were going to do the concept with a different female character. But the audience greatly prefer Penny leading her becoming part of the cast.

I think another huge factor is films has bigger expectations than shows on television and streaming platforms. By default, people has a more ridiculous expectations. To the point, a lot of newer comedy films aren't doing well. The industry comedy wise is virtually dog slow. Several other major movie genres like Sci-fi, horror and action has a lot more going for em.

This indirectly helps comedy shows to stand a bigger chance. They also could work on multiple episodes compared to one movie. I know many actors and actresses can work on multiple projects. Which can include both forms of media. Ultimately the staff is notably smaller for comedy shows. But that's also why they ultimately held up better.

You got teams that worked together for years. Yes they often swap out directors to a degree. This heavily plays into how to make shows funnier long term. It's sorta like families that wants to have a great time together. In comparison, comedy movies are more like once in a blue moon occasions. Sure many sitcom shows had notable decline in later years.

At the same time, some of them like Futurama is still great shows. This is why The Big Bang Theory was so great!!! A lot of my favorite sitcom shows was 90s to early 2000s. Although the one I often talk about is The Simpsons. I felt live action wise shows can differ in quality. There was a time Two Broke Girls used to be an funny show.

Then some of the people involved with the show decided to ruin it on purpose to get it canceled. I would say stick with the era I previously mentioned for some great sitcom shows. Yes I do enjoy some of the big names of that era. If I had to pick a favorite live action sitcom show. This might come as a huge surprise, Everyone Loves Raymond.

Some of the characters in particular Raymond's parents reminds me of my grandparents on my mom's side. There's many other great reasons why I ended up enjoying that show so much!!! Animated wise the more family comedy movies is better than parody films. There was a era, parody films used to be quite entertaining.

I could name several shows parodying many things that's way better. Although I always respected an handful of parody films like Space Balls. Even comparing live action comedy movies. This might be a hot take on the topic. I strongly felt 80s to 90s was the funniest era of movies to me. One of my absolute favorite sports comedy movies is Kingpin.

Yes I also heard they are going to make a sequel. Honestly, I won't expect much with an handful of actors coming back. I highly doubt Randy Quaid going to come back though. Around 2010s era of live action comedy movies gotten notably stupider. Very forced over the top style that I couldn't take seriously in a bad way.

I will confessed I liked The Hungover series. Those were surprisingly funny movies. I do agree the last one wasn't great but still somewhat enjoyable. Animated sitcom shows could go in so many directions. Some of them are incredibly difficult to predict what's going to happen. Which is perfect for making jokes that ends up being incredibly funny.

One of my favorite mess up jokes from these shows in recent years. Came from Disenchantment, Bean's uncle was talking to God. Late into the same episode, he replies to God saying. "You're a sick bastard." I actually laughed very hard the first time I heard that. Rick & Morty from what I seen is all over the place.

Somehow as chaotic it was works amazingly well. Some people really enjoy the more offensive animated sitcom shows like South Park or Family Guy. One of my favorites among that style again a hot take was F Is for Family. American Dad! is among my favorites. This show takes such huge risks that works amazingly well!!!

They directly parodying governments especially the US government. Of course, there needs to be a great ratio. Otherwise any joke that could be thrown out won't fly. Movies more recently tries to rush such an process. Shows found the perfect middle ground to remain funny for many years. This is a topic I really could talk about for hours.

Ultimately you could easily marathon the right shows compared to comedy movies or parody films. Even if you watch the classics you can't deny. A lot of these shows are instantly timeless. In some way, it relates to you as well as your family. Not only that, I seen more actual creativity. I do gotta mention both occasionally has notable stinkers.

You can't be funny all the time. More recently, I found shows to be roughly nine times funnier. Which is sad it's gotten that notably better at making people laugh. All of a sudden, the more popular form of media isn't looking great. You really can't go wrong with the right comedy shows. By now, there's something for everyone in comparison to movies of the same genre.
