Thoughts about TV Shows and Movies

 I found repetitions annoying as a kid but can tolerate it better as an adult.  I watched it live on broadcast TV as a kid versus fast-forwarding through repetitive portions on streaming sites.  For Brock always falling in love, I wrote an alternative storyline in my fanfic as an adult.

  Pokemon tended to go after games based on its franchise (ripoffs).  Palworld (basically Pokémon with guns) and Nintendo had some legal issues surrounding patents.  Try to make it creative but not rip off something else. Pokemon and Digimon were different.  Digimon had evolutions that were temporary before they revert back to lower stage but Pokemon evolutions were permanent.  Digimon was the digital world connected to the real world so the characters have stakes like Digimon Tamers and Digimon Adventure 2020.  Pokemon was set in fictional world.   

 Moral of movie: You can't destroy family.  It was battle between Hoopa and itself to understand family. I seen the trailer and said I got to watch the battle among the legendaries from different generations like Lugia (generation 2); Rayquazza and the Eon Twins (generations 3) plus Groudon and Kyorge.  When you got legendaries fighting legendaries, next logical conclusion was to pit multiple legendaries against each other and mega evolve them and etc. Team Rocket didn't do their mottos in the movie.  If they did, I would fast-forward since I'm watching online since I know who they are.

 Merritt served as the distraction while Jack stole the chip.  Allen said he seen the Horsemen before and verified it by going to the Eye's headquarters, where he seen them again.  I felt like Atlas didn't need Dylan, but he changed his mind when Dylan rescued him from Walter.   I felt like the Horseman stole from the Eye.  Were Walter and Arthur Tressler part of the Eye?

Since it's almost Halloween, I spent gift card on Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island which sounds spooky for the season.  The ghosts and zombies were scaring Scooby and the gang off the island which was inhabitated by Lena and her cat zombies.  Reanimating the dead spooky. The zombies were actually real which scared me when younger.

 For the English TV shows and movies, I can watch the movie or episode in one tab and be browsing the internet in another tab because I understand English.  I may watch the scenes if there's a lot of action scenes. It gets harder for me when watching foreign shows and movies with subtitles.  Because I don't know the language, I'm reliant on reading the subtitles telling me what the characters are saying, so I can't be browsing in another tab.  Digimon Adventure (2020) is one of few shows where I'm watching the subtitles.  When I had hulu subscription, I had seen the dubbed version for Digimon Adventure (2020).  For the first two seasons of Digimon , I mostly seen the dubbed English version.  

Pokemon  is a billion-dollar kids' franchise ($92 to $94 billion)  is the highest grossing franchise in the world had 25 seasons is currently in 26th season - Pokemon Horizons has 1164 Pokemon Totodile is a favorite  of mine because Ash's Totodile liked to dance.  I even have the Totodile plush and trading cards featuring the Johto's water starter.  I am an older fan.  I posted a lot of Totodile pictures on Instagram and Facebook. The theme songs I didn't like for Pokemon were Pokemon Advanced Pokemon Battle Frontier Pokemon Battle Dimension (TV version) Pokemon Black and White Pokemon Journeys the Series Pokemon Masters Journeys Most of the theme songs I disliked were after 4Kids got replaced as the production company.   I tended to scroll past Team Rocket trio's motto.

 I first watched The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon  special in 2006 and hated the voices. Yesterday, I rewatched the special, and these are my impressions I can tolerate most of the changes in voice cast except May's because I been watching the newer episodes with the newer cast for some reason, May's voice change bugged me the plot was interesting the special was dark the death of a Pokemon, Mew the assumed death of Dr. Yung I kind of wish Corphish had some dialogue
