Pokémon the first Movie Review

Today makes the 20th anniversary of Pokémon, yes this franchise has been going on for 20 years at this point "YOUR OLD" and so am I since I was born in 96. So to honor the occasion I figured that I should review the very first Pokémon movie just simply called Pokémon the first movie or if you go by the Japanese tittle it’s called Pocket Monsters the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back! (One questions that how Mewtwo is striking back if he haven't first fight in the first place but whatever). Your probably asking why I’m doing a review instead of giving my thoughts in the franchise, well I did that post a long time ago in my earlier Blogger days and it was the post right before I made the Pokémon the Origins review and that explains that. Now for the movie itself it is not consider all that great by many fans and a main reason why that is simply just because of the 4Kids Dub and really that is the movies main fault as I’ll explain latter on as you people will see. Do note I am looking at the 4Kids Ver. Of this movie but I did look up the significate differences between both the Dub and Japanese Ver.



The movie begins with scientist in a jungle looking for the legendary Pokémon Mew in order to clone Mew and create their own Ver. of Mew that surpasses the original, and they find a sample of him. AND already this is where the changes start taking effect, in the theatrical Ver. Of the movie they did not add what is dub in Japan “The Birth of Mewtwo” (and believe me or not it began as a Radio Drama) and this scene WAS VERY CRITICAL understand this movie and 4Kids left it out but kept Mewtwo killing a bunch of people, THIS IS WHY 4KIDS SUCK PEOPLE. But since I’m taking a look at this whole movie let’s talk about it now shale we.



Mewtwo’s meats up with a little girl named Amber and also Clone Ver. Of the starter Pokémon and she tells him that both her her and Mewtwo are clones and we find out that Giovanni is the one that helped funded this so that he could have the perfect Pokémon and for the head scientist Dr. Fuji he can bring his daughter back to life. You see his daughter Amber died he spent years and years working on a way to bring his daughter back to life and because of that his wife just left him. It doesn’t stop being sad their thought all the clone starters and Amber start turning into nothing and then is suppressed and well forced to forget the only person he ever knew and Dr. Fuji loses his Daughter forever. This scene is a very sad and very sympathetic moment and it surprise me this was all done in only 8 minute and in that 8 minutes it is a very touching scene, which is more then what I can say about Clannad which took about 50 episodes to do the same effect and it really should have had been 12 episodes best. YES I have actually seen that and I want review it 1 day because there are things I need to say about that show.



When Mewtwo body is fully developed he awaken and can talk to humans because of his Physic powers so Physic and use telepathy (which was cool before every Pokémon started using it). before I continue i must comment on Mewtwo's design I love it I love it so much, it just looks good is all I can say. it is some what humanoid in design and you can tell this does look like a more powerful Ver. of Mew and also yah looks it had some inspiration from Frieza from DBZ and Pokemon would do it again with Zygard and Cell. When Mewtwo does wake up all the scientist are happy about this and now going to start more experiments on Mew since well all they want to use Mewtwo is for its powers and not him as a living being. Mewtwo is rightful pissed off about this he just straight up kills everyone in the lab causing many, many, many kids to have trauma after this. Giovanni comes in and see all the destruction Mewtwo has done and is impress with him and Giovanni makes him an offer he can’t refuse, but Mewtwo does refuse the offer but his offer to help him control his powers and Mewtwo accepts the offer.



Then Mewtwo get a Battlizer, yah Mewtwo has a Battlizer to help control his powers and looks really badass and much awesome then Mecha Mewtwo (don't know what Mecha Mewtwo is? this is Mecha Mewtwo, this is real). Giovanni now has the most OP Pokémon there is and defeats anyone who gets in his way and even gets a whole horde of Tauros. Sometime latter Giovanni just flat out says he just sees him as a tool for destruction (which o think is more 4Kids Dialog fault then anything) and Mewtwo destroy Giovanni base which was a really cool tie in into the anime and now declares he shale be the ruler of the world.  I love the first 20 minutes of this movie with Mewtwo, I love the art with being heavy on Shadows, I love the voice acting with Mewtwo’s voice sounding fragile but menacing at the same time, the music sounds creepy and helps the atmosphere and knows when to get serious, and also with the “Birth of Mewtwo” I have gowned to like this more as an adult then I would have had ever as a kid (and without Birth of Mewtwo short his plain to rule the world make him seems to be a bit on the generic side) but at lase we still got more to cover which is ok I’ll put it.



After something so Mature and with so much Depth we now get the typical Pokémon movie formula which goes like this Ash and friends are enjoying themselves, some jack comes and try’s to challenge Ash and fails from Pikachu and is not remember except for this guy just because of this line, Team Rocket is there for KOMEDDY but does not contribute anything for the movie (well except for this and 2000 that is) and the plot continues there. Ash gets an innovation that talks about attending a secluded Island to fight the world’s greatest Pokémon caption who is obviously is Mewtwo. Mewtwo creates a storm where only the best of the best Pokémon trainers must make it to his Island and from there we are given 1 major plot point. That this woman who we’ve never seen before says that Pokémon teats have life in them which is FORESHADOWING FOR THE FUTURE! And then everyone says screw it and then go to the island to meet up with this best Pokémon caption, Team Rocket poses as Vikings to give ash and the others on bored and this is also where we get a very memorable line of Vikings are from Minnesota. But the waves are too strong and then everyone is off the ship and they use their Pokémon to get out of the storm like real Pokémon trainers would before ash because so stupid, and sucks.



At new ground Island all the trainers are there and Mewtwo introduce himself as the best Pokémon Trainer there is and everyone is surprise by this (and might I also add that it is badass how cool of appearance Mewtwo makes). It is here with Team Rocket that the movie shows expiation to us the audience what is haping like showing us all how Mewtwo made Cloned Ver. of Pokémon for he thinks the originals are inferior and Clones are superior and he make the clones through a.. Wait is that. No it couldn’t. OH MY GOD!


LORD HELIX, SO THE FIRST Pokémon Movie predicted that LORD HELIX would be GOD, ALL PRAISE LORD HELIX!


Anyways we can see when Mewtwo calls forth his Pokémon to see if his clone Pokémon are superior Pokémon or the originals are superior then we see that his Pokémon come out thought this like organic tube thing and this is gross and nasty and I love it, Mewtwo’s Castle is like something H.R. Giger would create. Mewtwo’s Clone Pokémon take down the original Pokémon Down with ease and as the victor Mewtwo will now capture the real Pokémon to make clones for himself, even though he said earlier that Humans enslave Pokémon and well that is what he is doing himself (I’m not saying Mewtwo is a hypocrite but… I think I can blame the dialog for this one). Mewtwo has his own special Pokeballs that are a lot like a Master Ball but can catch other people’s Pokémon and a smart thing from ash if they put their Pokémon back in the Pokeballs he can’t capture them but the Mewtwo Balls can take the Pokémon even when in the Pokeball. Ash go to get Pikachu when he is captured (and let’s get this mistake out of the way, yah I know it happen in the film for being the early days of 4Kids I know it sucks)  and Ash James the machine which then release all the Pokémon.



When Mewtwo is just about to destroy all of humanity Ash comes in with the real Pokémon and decides to try and punch Mewtwo but fails (if we had Marcus Damon here he would be able to beat Mewtwo in no time). And Mew saves ash and then we get a massive change in this dialog with the Dub Mew saying that true straight comes from the heart when in actually what Mew says is all unnatural life (IE, clones) are inferior to the originals, and thus should perish, so yah mew is a dick, always has been a dick and always will be a dick. And another crappy part of the movie the battle where it Plays Brother My Brother and where I was complementing the music from before but here GGGAAA this so does not work with what is going on. And on top of that they then spent the next minute saying violence is wrong because oh yah biting cutting and also burning you open OK compare to this battle, and this is 4Kids fault in the dialog since in the original Japanese ver. the message is you aren’t define by your organs.


After that scene the escalation of Mew and Mewtwo’s battle reach its peak with both unleashing a Kamehameha and Ash takes the blast and turning Ash into stone and stopping all the Pokémon from fighting. Pikachu try’s to revive ash but nothing works and then All the Pokémon starts crying and but the power of Ash is revived and Mewtwo then has no more hatred to worse humanity and then erasing everyone memory of this event (somehow) and making none of this ever happining in the first place. So the lesion fighting is wrong, COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.  



The movie ends with everything going back to normal and Ash sees mew just like how he saw Ho-Ho and then very dated 90’s pop songs.



Overall I give Pokémon the first movie a very strong 3/5
I like this movie more than most people.

Granted I am looking at more in the Japanese Ver. but still I do like this movie then most people and even more then some Hardcore Pokémon fans. I love Mewtwo he is so complex and very symphonic and this really is his movie since we spend so much time with him and Ash is just for the ride along. I mean if you can get pass over all the crappy stuff 4Kids did to the movie this is a pretty good movie with a pretty mature message for kids being you are not defied by your origin. So yah I like this movie then most people do and maybe even more so then most Hard Core Pokémon fans and if all of you like this review I can do more Pokémon movie reviews, that or review the Sinnoh trilogy of movie because those 3 movies are REALLY CRAPPY and I want to bitch about them badly!

Zyuohger 6th Ranger Zyuoh TheWorld suit reviled

I'm The Sources Tokunation

With Ninninger being over (SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT) Zyuohger will begin this week and we have our Suit for our 6th Ranger for the Show Zyuoh TheWorld. Zyuoh TheWorld (and yes he has "THE" in the tittle) is a mixture of being the colors Orange, Black, and silver or Gray color and also has a Wolf, Crocodile, and Rhino because of 2 reasons. 1. is "The World" tittle and has animals all over the world and 2. is because he will be a lot like Gao Silver having 3 for his mecha.  Now Zyuoh TheWorld is a lot like Zyuoh Eagle where he has a Face Visor that changes the animals and it's pretty cool, in fact the suit itself is pretty cool to ( my favorite helmet of the 3 is the Rhino and weird it looks a bit like Tomica Hero: Rescue Force helmets). Still excited to see Zyuoh TheWorld in action (do you see how repetitively annoying "THE" is?)

Kamen Rider #1 the Movie first look

Sources:Ukiyaseed.weebly.com

OK GETTING THIS OUT OF THE WAY FIRST, it has come to my attention that we are indeed NOT getting a brand new Taisen Film but instead we are getting something different. We are getting the first in the new Superhero Year project BECAUSE SOME ONE AT TOEI FINALLY REALIZE THAT THE TAISEN MOVIES ARE SHIT! And with this we are having Takeshi Hongo with his role reprise by Hiroshi Fujioka or Segata Sanshiro as most people known him as in the U.S. Ichigo has a brand new Suit and WOW is that 1 hella bulky suit, I mean just look at this. This makes the original suit look scroungy and this is just... just... Do you even work out bro? 

With a new Suite also comes new Villains with Nova Shocker which is made up of Ex Shocker monsters like  Igura, Urga, and Buffal and their plain is to NOT take over the world but to control the worlds  Economy. Also in the movie is the Original Shocker because they seem to like never die. Being the first of this brand new series of movies I will have low expectations so if this sucks it sucks but if it doesn't yah something good for once who know Kamen Rider origins and also Super Sentai as well.

Power Ranger Ninja Steel for 2017

Sources: Tokunation
a few months ago IGN reported that the new Power Ranger season would be a adaption of Ninninger and on Netflix (but it was IGN and reliability are mix at best which gave phrase to "well you can't spell ignorance without IGN") but believe it or not they were right (GO FIGURE). This means that we will not get a adaption of ToQGer which is more mix for me since well yes I did not like ToQGer and considered it the worst Sentai at that point (till Ninninger) but it Judd Lynn was apart of it, it would have had worked since no matter how something looks if it is still written good, with good charters and villains it can work, just like Kamen Rider Gaim (a series which is said to be one of the best Kamen Rider seasons) this will be airing next year so this will be our 24th/ 25th Power Ranger season so this is both yes and no a anniversary Power Ranger season just like Ninninger itself this aired during the 40th Year of Super Sentai but this is the 39th Super Sentai Season, so Ironic. For me Ninninger was not good and it is just bad and dare say the worst Super Sentai Season thus far for me with being the most amateur thing ever but with the right writers this can be something great.
