Star Wars: Clone Wars 2003 (Rewatch) Rating: S God I wish we got more of this, the 2D style rocks. So much of this has lived rent free in my head for 20+ years, Anakin vs Ventress is peak, Mace Windu martial arts, Grievous being a slasher movie villain, it's all so good.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Rating: D This shit sucked. The Rhea win was the only redeeming factor here. Fix your fucking product HHH, fire all of creative this shit was beyond embarrassing. 2 Separate runins within a minute of each other in the final stretch should be internet slander, not reality

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Season 2 (Rewatch) Rating: S GX Sweep. I love a lot of the additions to the show this season, Aster rocks and edgy Zane is also awesome. Looking forward to going further and seeing my dudes again before the horrors ensue.

X-Men Mutant Academy Rating: D This is a contender for the worst fighting game I've ever played. It feels like shit, inputs don't work half the time, and has some of the most egregious input reading AI I've experienced. I've heard good things about the sequel though, so hopefully that is true.

Invincible Season 2 Rating: A Pitfalls of the previous season still apply here but at least the rest of this season was pretty strong despite that. Nolan really needed to stop saying READ MY BOOKS because I could not keep it together. I also realised Immortal is designed like an Eternals character.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rating: B I'm more a fan of TMNT when its more serious in tone, so the lighter tone on this doesn't do as much for me, but despite that this is still a fun time.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance PS2 (Replay) Rating: A Replayed for the first time in at least 15 years, still fun even if its jank as fuck. Still like the 2nd game more which I know is a hot take. We need to go back to this era of Marvel games having fun rosters, I miss it so bad.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Season 1 (Rewatch) Rating: A Yearly mandated GX rewatch. This is the show at its weakest and its still really good, even if the season takes a bit to get going. I'm sorry they fumbled you Bastion, you're my guy and you deserved better, your multi-deck gimmick is awesome.

Caught Stealing Rating: A Good ass movie. Loved the music, enjoyed the characters, fun action even if the beginning was a bit miserable, but it was worth it for the back half. That cat was awesome, the most chill dude I have ever seen considering what he goes through.

The Naked Gun Rating: A Genuinely an insane joke-per-minute ratio, it's also impressive just how much this movie hates cops. This is probably the best comedy we've gotten in years.

Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD Rating: B Not as bad as I was expecting. It was shlocky but that's to be expected for a TV movie from this era. It could have been a lot worse.

Ninjago Season 14 Rating: S The season starts off slow but that back half cooks hard. It's the designated Nya season so it was always gonna be gas, but holy fuck do they let her aura farm like crazy in the last few episodes. They were cooking with the last few action sequences, genuinely incredible.

Smallville Season 4 (Rewatch) Rating: S Smallville dunk tank scene you will always be famous to me. I do enjoy that we start getting a little more insane with ideas here, also this season's soundtrack absolutely whips, probably the show's best. Also so many killer shots in the finale.

Borderlands 2 (Replay, 4-Player Co-op, Unfinished) Rating: D First time doing a 4 person run, holy fuck is the scaling atrocious. We would have finished this if the game's online didn't shit itself for me close to the finish line, so maybe that was the game giving us an out.

WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Rating: C Forgot to post this yesterday. The matches were enjoyable enough (not amazing) with a couple undesirable outcomes. Gunther and Roman did not need those wins. WWE needs to go full scorched earth on the men's main event scene and start over, it is beyond saving.

Ninjago: The Island Rating: B This felt like 40 minutes of filler just for 5 seconds of footage that assumedly is going to matter next season. It wasn't bad, but its just difficult to get anything of substance in such a short timespan.

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical Rating: A Had a really good time with this, I wish they were a little more clear on the trait system and what it entailed but that's a relatively minor issue, I only missed out on a couple dialogue choices I wanted. Also impressed by how dynamic the songs were.

Ninjago Season 13 Rating: S What a surprise that the best character also gets the best season, Cole stocks have never been higher. Also a big fan of the accidentally became important at work part of the plot, that was a fun time. Cole vs Skull Sorcerer is also arguably one of the best fights yet.

Ninjago Season 12 Rating: A Another court-mandated Jay season, but it could have been a lot worse. Shoutouts to the Lloyd v Harumi fight, they kinda cooked with that scene. There were just a lot of good action setpieces in this season in general I think. Noir Zane/Pixal was also a great bit.

Ninjago Season 11 Rating: S Was a little worried seeing the shorter episodes initially, but it actually improves the pacing a lot so I'm cool with it, also more episodes to compensate so its the same amount of content per season anyway. I also like the shift in style. Both halves were also good.

Ninjago Season 10 Rating: S Yeah ok this rocked. Was only 4 episodes this time so it was basically a TV movie but I didn't mind that since we had already dedicated 2 full seasons to this storyline. It kinda had the vibe of a potential series finale but I know there's more show so we continue.

Ninjago Season 9 Rating: S What do you mean we are still not done with this storyline after 2 seasons? That rocks, this has been the show at its best. Also very impressed at the show's ability to split the cast and juggle 2 different perspectives and somehow have them both be equally compelling.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Rating: S Easily one of the best Metroidvanias ever made. Immaculate presentation and sense of style with really good game feel and the best combat in the genre. It's a shame we'll never get that sequel because barely anyone played this. You deserved better king.

Ninjago Season 8 Rating: S Okay this was kinda cinema. This was the most ambitious season yet and its cool to see a problem that takes more than 1 season to resolve. I am also mostly a redesign enjoyer, except for you Zane they fucked your shit up man I'm sorry. Harumi was also a cool addition.

The Lego Ninjago Movie Rating: B This movie is visually stunning but its a shame that its all it has going for it. The celebrity voice cast sucks, all the characters are completely different from the show, and the tone is too comedic. The animation is the only saving grace, also Meowthra that's oomf

Ninjago Season 7 Rating: A Kai is such a strange character because he feels like he is whatever the plot demands of him, but not in a chosen one kinda way. He doesn't feel like he's consistently his own character and instead serves to fill in the gaps of the plot. Nya is peak though, no notes.

Ninjago: Day of the Departed Rating: A Cole my fucking goat you finally got the full spotlight (Season 5 doesn't count), a shame it was only for a 40 minute special but I'll take what I can get. Please king I need you to get more focus in the future, at least you got a sick fucking scar though.

Ninjago Season 5 Rating: A It's very funny knowing that this exists to sell toys so that naturally leads to a huge number of powerups or transformations, but it is cool that this leads to them writing around this and using it as an excuse to give characters satisfying arcs.

Ninjago Season 2 Rating: B As rough as the visuals/animation can be for this show, it has shockingly good direction and choreography for its fight scenes at times. The jokes can be hit or miss too but its gotten a laugh outta me on a few occasions so I would consider that a win.

Ninjago Season 1 Rating: B Finally gave this a shot after seeing the "Alive but gay" post countless times, didn't even consider that this show would be Tokusatsu but it makes so much sense. The show is visually rough, and some characters are abrasive (hi Jay), but I'm having a decent enough time.
