Transformers. Power Rangers. Star Wars. Marvel. DC. Nintendo. These are the 6 intellectual properties I love the most and have a lot of knowledge regarding them. Underneath them are Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Classic Disney/Pixar, Sonic, Dreamworks, Simpsons/King of the Hill, and Aardman Animation. Generally speaking, I've got plenty of interests at the top of my head that are worth going over if you ask me. That being said, there always comes a point where either I've seen so many things from a franchise already, there's nothing on the horizon that interested me, and/or I lost interest for different reasons. I mean, Transformers had no really mindblowing content apart from the toys and Cyberverse Season 3, Star Wars only had The Mandalorian and the end of Clone Wars, Beast Morphers Season 2 came and went with the international spoilers, I didn't have much interest in anything for Marvel and DC apart from the Snyder Cut and Miles Morales, and I was more excited to learn of the data leaks of Nintendo than most of the games they put out. So naturally, when the things that I liked weren't enough to keep me happy during the pandemic and shitty situations in the real world, I revisited stuff from the past with the IPs I already liked, but I mainly learned about plenty of new franchises; some are ones I always wanted to check out, others I decided to finally give attention to, and a few are genuine surprises. Why not I share them with you? I should mention that I will give them ranks of knowledge I gained from each series.
Franchise 1:
There was no surprise that I always wanted to delve into the Halo Series. For a while, I have seen some small bits of the series in terms of gameplay and the like, a trope that I tend to have before I dig deeper than I actually have. To be honest, if there is one thing I learned a lot when it comes to Halo, it's that there are plenty of ways for it to stand out among all the other franchises. While the sci-fi story may feel been-there-done-that compared to other franchises, but Halo manages to spice it up with some of the themes it represents as well as having a more militaristic approach to it compared to other sci-fi media like Wars and Trek. It also has a fairly unique war made between the human race and the Covenant, with the UNSC making use of the Spartans to prevent the rebellious aliens while also going up against the Flood. Master Chief is certainly the core of the franchise thanks to his role as an action hero as well as having well-known connections with Cortana, the Arbiter, and Locke.
It's a pretty complex franchise that I think people should delve into more if they play the games. And the more I delved into them the more I started to get why the series is famous! I like the gameplay mechanics, the designs of the Spartans as well as the aliens of the covenant, the grunts are fun to love and hate, and things like killing them in their sleep during the first game, hearing Master Chief say the iconic "Finishing This Fight" line in Halo 2, the warthog chase in Halo 3, learning small pieces of the Spartan history in Halo 4 without the feeling of an obligated prequel, and having Locke involved while trying not to outright replace Chief (at least in my opinion) were major highlights for the series. That being said, with this being a series that's as reliant on a story as it is on gameplay, the uninitiated are certainly going to need to remain as awake when learning about the franchise as humanly possible.
And the crazy thing is that apart from the Original Trilogy and the Reclaimer Saga, you have plenty of additional material to dig into! Halo Wars, the novels, and the different TV/movie projects that were made throughout the years. Halo's a bigger franchise than people would normally think, especially considering how much it changed the way shooters are perceived. While other games like Doom and Goldeneye 007 were very popular, Halo is one of those franchises that the uninitiated are going to need a large attention span for. It's no ordinary shooter series; it's a legendary story. And it makes me happy to in retrospect to have seen people like Jangbricks cherish the Halo franchise, as he was one of the best people that would kind of encourage me to delve into the franchise.
So with Halo Infinite coming soon, I just want to say that I feel bad for missing out on most of the franchise for so long. I may not have been as much of a super fan as others I know truly are, but I do have nothing but pure praise for a series like Halo, especially when it comes to how much of a spirit it has compared to most games that tried to mimic its success. And however the new game will turn out, I'll still be happy to delve into this franchise so long as there's heart put into the subsequent stuff. And if nothing else, I'll be more than happy to value the iconic trilogy and the things that worked well with the Reclaimer Saga. Until then, it's time to set a fire in my heart to prepare for the fight against The Banished!

Franchise 2:
This was a recent franchise I found during the past few months, which was due to the Amazon Prime show making everyone go crazy for it (even if it's from one particular scene). What surprised me more was that it's actually from a particular Images Comics franchise of the same name. In a world where Marvel and DC are practically brand juggernauts these days, delving into a smaller franchise like this felt like a treat! It's been a thing I've delved into since franchises like Justice League, Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, etc can either show off all of their tricks or have uninteresting or weak stuff to check out, I'm more than happy to see a franchise like Invincible get the spotlight...and honestly, it's a huge departure from what I'm used to!
Let's go over what I've witnessed with this series: Mark Grayson is the 17-year-old son of Nolan Grayson, AKA Omni-Man; the teenager awaits to have superpowers of his own, and when he finally receives them, he starts to realize what he's in for with the struggles of becoming a superhero with an image of his own. As Invincible, he tackles the many villains that approach his world while making new allies; as for his father, his secrets of who he truly is begins to unravel, to the point where he fails to convince his son to join him with the Viltrumite Empire. As a result, the pain he brought towards his son made him realize his mistake, leaving the Earth while the Guardians return to aid the main city of the show.
In general, this show has nothing but surprises compared to the average superhero show made before it. It's got the deconstruction, violence, and character traits that I don't think most IPs have the balls to make use of. Okay, the closest is M.O.D.O.K, but that is a more comedic approach towards the Marvel character a la the canceled Star Wars Detours show. Invincible, on the other hand, is a show that proudly displays how messed up superheroes can be in animated form, from the damage caused to the betrayal of Omni-Man. And let me tell you that the voices do an amazing job of making these characters feel like how they should in a world like this. Steven Yuen and J.K.Simmons are already talented voice actors that deliver on all fronts, but Gillian Jacobs, Kevin Michael Richardson, Karey Payton, Zazie Beetz, Mark Hamill, and Clancy Brown are among some of the other voices that deserve as much recognition, even if you're not as much of a fan of the franchise as others are!
Some of you may be wondering if I'd delve into a similar show that's also on Amazon Prime, that being The Boys. It's got traits of character deconstruction and serves as a commentary of superhero films, but if I'm going, to be honest, I never got into it. Part of me feels it's got things I like from what others say yet it does have that sort of parody feel that is too on the nose. Almost like it's trying to mock something like Batman v. Superman (I know that The Boys was a pre-existing IP but come on!). That being said, Invincible makes for a welcome addition to the superhero genre as it spins plenty of things and changes the way people would perceive seeing the life of a comic book character (while not trying to replace anything else).

Franchise 3:
Another comic book franchise I've been thinking about, Spawn is practically the favorite child of Todd McFarlane. You may recognize him for his contributions towards the Marvel and DC universes with his artwork used on Spider-Man and Batman, and he is also best known for his creation of Venom in the former's comic run during the end of the 20th century. Spawn, on the other hand, is a beast of his own. He's best described as a former human with all of these supernatural powers and is a pure antihero, standing out among even the traditional antiheroes like Batman and Punisher.
Spawn's a series that is much larger than anticipated, especially with all of the creativity Todd McFarlane has when creating the series. It sees the titular character become The One after he was assassinated by a director who grew tired of his morality. After his twisted revival, he became the anti-hero that we know today with none of his prior memories apart from his name and his death. Since then, Spawn has fought plenty of different foes as well as change his appearance from time to time. It's a very serialized comic run that I feel requires a lot of readers to keep track of what's going on to truly understand what's going on with the overall arcs made since 1992.
Now then, let's talk about the non-comic media worth going over. I'm aware of the many spinoffs that were spawned, but let's give some attention to the animated series from HBO and the 1997 movie. The series is a gorgeous show that holds up very well, what with the writing, animation, and voice work. This is a series that I feel is the best comic book show of all time, surpassing the X-Men and Batman cartoons made before it (and the fact that it's a "dark and mature" show isn't the main reason). I want to see more of this series, as it has so many layers to it that would get any huge comic enthusiast would want to delve into. As for the movie, it was a disappointment since it lacked that McFarlane spirit, even despite the guy himself having some form of involvement. I'm also not a fan of the studio making the character white instead of black; the reason that they're trying not to confuse people in thinking it's market for the African American audience is as stupid as the way recent comic writers try to talk shit about people not liking their changes to characters.
I'll see if I can delve into this comic run more, but for now, I'm still interested in seeing more of what the man himself has to make. I know for a fact we're getting a new movie with Jamie Foxx as the lead, and we are getting two shows for different age groups, but I gotta give major props to Todd for his devotion towards bringing Spawn to life. He's been one of his creations at the age of 16, long before the character made an official debut by Image Comics. All I can say or now is that when you want to make your dreams come true, commit to them! Do what he's done and have a vision that lasts for an eternity. And also I saw him roast the fuck out of Collider's Frosty during SDCC 2017. Classic shit!

Franchise 4:
Yes, you read that right. A girl-equivalent to the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers is one of the things I've gotten interested in during the pandemic. Now it amuses me how the past three franchises I covered were of sci-fi war, superhero deconstruction, and an antihero from hell; now here we are with a franchise that covers magical heroines with double lives. Honestly, the fact that they're part of the things I have an interest in surprised me, but there are plenty of things about this series that surprises me overall. And before anyone asks, no, I don't think it'll be up there with the main 6 franchises I love the most, but it does have a place somewhere in my Quantum Verse, so to speak.
So apparently, this series involves a schoolgirl named Usagi Tsukino, who is practically a crybaby and tends to be rather spontaneous with her surroundings. She discovers a cat named Luna and eventually discovers she has the ability to turn into a Sailor Soldier. She reluctantly accepts her fate and eventually meets up with the likes of other soldiers in the form of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus. Each one of them having different personalities and powers from one another, they become a team and now balance their normal lives as superheroes. Eventually, Tuxedo Mask joins the fray and we meet other individuals like Chibiusa, Neptune, Uranus, and others as they combat the villains from different dimensions, each with different purposes of going against them.
So why this anime over most anime made in the past, present, and future? Honestly, it's something I've been kind of thinking about breaking down. I guess it's a breath of fresh air as most of my interests have been about war machines, mech, suits, weapons, capes, and the like, so this series does have a bit of uniqueness that I understand why people love from the show. The personality of the franchise is a melting pot of humor, story, and even some of the action present in the series has. It's kind of a fun series to watch, especially if you're either watching the Japanese audio (a rare thing I do), listening to the DiC/Cloverway dub (which is not great but funny), or watching the Viz Media dub; that being said I need to watch the full episodes. Either way, the series just has that jovial-yet-taken-seriously that I didn't expect as someone used to more complex works.
Will I delve into other versions of the franchise? I don't think so. I know that Crystal has been well-received but part of me feels it's a mix of being the original series but being faithful to the manga (which I haven't read), and I don't really care about the live-action version (yeah a rare instance of me not caring for something live-action that isn't a Disney adaptation). I think I'll stick with the 90s anime, and while everyone else will tell me to watch DBZ, Naruto, My Hero Academia, or whatever else there is ou there, Sailor Moon is a series that I'm honestly impressed with how much it wants to present itself as more than just an average female-equivalent to tokusatsu. It's like the Dixie Kong of the interests I have, where it doesn't have to be as tough as the guys to win me over. That being said, this series feels like it's familiar to me despite me knowing more about it during the pandemic and I can't put my finger on it...

Franchise 5:
Speaking of which, here is a series that I have seen before yet am starting to learn about even more! It's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! These heroes in half-shells are the best kind of party animals as they combine the best of both worlds from being superheroes while also having that carefree spirit that they're known for at times. Tell you the truth, I don't think I've given this series as much attention as I should. Like I have watched the shows in the past and saw the movies but I never got any of the collector-friendly toys nor have I read the comics. I do plan to fix that one day, especially when I want to make the Ninja Turtles feel like a bigger interest of mine than they currently are.
So let's go over the stuff that I've seen in the past: I have seen some of the old episodes of the cartoon, some but not all of the entirety of the original trilogy, the one episode from Power Rangers in Space where the Next Mutation versions team up with the Space Rangers, the 2003 animated series on 4Kids (and most of its spinoff titles), the 2007 TMNT movie made by WB, half of the 2012 Nickelodeon series, the two Paramount movies, and the crossovers they have on Injustice 2 as well as with the MMPR team for a Boom Studios/IDW crossover. Sounds like quite a lot, doesn't it? Hell, I'm mentioning what I have seen rather than explaining the premise because I know quite a bit about the franchise. Oh, and Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap was a song that I later found out belonged to the second movie.
Now let's go over the things I learned about since then! First up, I've found out that the original TV show did eventually change in tone and in animation as time went on, turning the cartoon from a campy 80s show into a more serialized and serious show that doesn't lean into the edgy side. I've also seen bits of The Next Mutation, and while that and the 90s movies, as well as the Christmas special, were charming for the nostalgia and practical suits, they did age like milk. I found out that the 2003 series had a sequel after Fast-Forward, which was Back to the Sewer. I also got to check out Turtles Forever and play the two arcade games that were popular back then. What I haven't done was watch the Rise of the TMNT series or read any of the comics, be it from Mirage or IDW.
I feel like the Ninja Turtles series is one that I should stick with more often than not, especially with my past history of knowing the franchise. I plan to see more of it as time goes along, but I think I'm very happy with the 2003 series. It strikes a happy medium between the cartoony nature of some shows and the seriousness of Mirage Studios. The turtles are neither too cute like in the 80s or 2012 Nick series while also avoiding the big and bulky looks of the Paramount movies. I heard that the series is now on Paramount+, but I don't know if I really want to subscribe to it just because one show I'm really interested in is on there. Maybe I can do that if I had a free trial and I'd watch some Nick shows I like as well as show some love to the Paramount Star Trek films and hope to god that the Transformers movies are on there. But until then, I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!!!!!

Franchise 6:
After the memes of it crossing over with Animal Crossing as well as trying out Doom 2016 for a short while, it was time for me to delve into what makes the Doom series a favorite among many in the gaming community. It's quite the adventure, as it has nothing more but a large amount of action within the FPS, a wide selection of demons to rip and tear, and no shortage of weapons to choose from. Doom is one of those franchises that doesn't have much to go over as far as the story is concerned (at least within the initial part of the series), but it does progress overtime to give Doomguy a bit of a story when he was originally a silent protagonist that lets the player feel like they're the character. Doom was quite revolutionary as far as FPS games were concerned, what with the use of its engine, gameplay mechanics, and the use of online gaming and WAD files for making mods.
So let's share my thoughts on the Doom series as it stands. I love the gameplay mechanics, and the way you can traverse within the 3D map while seeking for demons to shoot and areas to access makes this game feel like a puzzle, too. The graphics of the old games certainly had that 90s look of seemingly being realistic and 3D despite being only graphics, but it does the job nonetheless if you ask me. I was surprised to see that apart from the sequels there were also various ports of the game, even on consoles that would normally not go with the franchise (for Pete's sake, the GBA has a Doom port and so does the older iOS). The sequels we got since then are just as plentiful, with some noteworthy titles like Final Doom and Doom 64.
Generally speaking, Doom's got plenty of things for it to stand out from most franchises even in the current millennium! If you're not that interested in the older games, you have the option to play the two modern games made in recent years! Doom 2016 and Doom Eterna, whether you see them as continuations to the old games or are in a universe of their own, this franchise knows how to bring back what is usually seen as a niche product of its time and make it feel brand new in the current market of video games. The gameplay is obviously in line with the new generation of FPS games yet has that Doom spirit to separate it from Halo, Call of Duty, etc. What's new to the game series is that we get an expansion on the story of our space marine, as he's now involved with taking energy from Hell before going up against the likes of Pierce and Hayden. Now in Eternal, he's been back to clean up the mess made by the demons from hell after returning to Earth and going into hell once more to stop the plans of the Maykr.
Now you may be wondering if I would tackle any other FPS franchises made around that time period. Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein, Blood, and plenty of others are just as beloved as this game is, which says a lot even if they haven't had gotten the same level of recognition Doom received. I know Wolfenstein has had plenty of games while Duke Nukem has been regelated to ports of the iconic Duke Nukem 3D game, and while I did say that Duke Nukem was a game I wanted to delve into back in 2020's video game week of posts, I think I'm a little disappointed at the lack of a lineup after the series mostly had ports and the last big game being Duke Nukem Forever. Does that mean my experience with that series is tainted? No, but I just felt more content with delving into Doom.

While I was already a Zack Snyder fan, I've been heavily interested in learning more about his Zombie universe involving Netflix. It had nothing but pure ambition and creativity fulfilled by a director with a clear vision as well as a cast that knows how to win audiences over. I've seen plenty of people delve into why they love the movie, and in a time period where the genre has shown off all of its tricks, it's astounding to have a movie like this stray away from the tropes we've seen before and have an identity of its own. The best part is the ripe potential there is for spinoff media that can expand the world set in this series. Without further ado, let's check out the second Zack Attack of 2021!
Having just seen the movie, I can already tell you that this is a Snyderverse that Warner Bros can't even alter since Netflix proudly stands with the director. It even stands out from the first Zack Snyder movie ever made, Dawn of the Dead; while that was a retelling of the events seen in the movie, Army of the Dead has a face of its own, with different zombies, a new story, and a cast that's less about running away and more about fighting back against the enemy forces that took Las Vegas away from them. The chemistry of the cast is already great, with Dave Bautista's Scott Ward, Omari Hardwick's Vanderohe, Matthias Schweighöfer's Ludwig Dieter, and Tig Notaro's Marianne Peters being my favorite characters of the movie, but the zombies truly stole the show thanks to the performances of the intimidating queen, her follower Zeus, and even the tiger named Valentine! Everything about the movie worked well, even the ending was great as it doesn't end on a happy ending thanks to Scott's daughter being forced to kill him while Vanderohe realized he's becoming a zombie, too.
So why Army of the Dead over most zombie franchises? Well, I think compared to what others have seen with The Walking Dead and the like, I kind of prefer the new ideas that Zack Snyder brought to the table. They feel new, they have plenty of surprises, and they're also filled with theories made by fans. For example, the use of Area 51 at the beginning of the movie as well as the potential sighting of UFOs could mean that the zombies are actually caused by aliens, and we're also told that they live in a time loop where they go through the same routine until they die, which was even brought up within the movie. The crazy thing is that the zombies are shown to have the insides of their heads glow blue when they're shot, which might either make them feel robotic or enhanced compared to the average zombie not in the movie.
With all that said, Army of the Dead is making me much more excited for the genre than ever before. Whether we get any prequel or sequel media, I'm more than happy to support it all considering how devoted Zack Snyder is to making this new universe shine without any of the bullshit he faced from the Wanker Boomers. This guy can do what they can't, from having a loyal fanbase to profiting off of the audiences that love his work and especially standing out amongst other directors. Best of all, he proves how quick he is with his work. For example, when it was reported that Chris D'Elia had tons of sexual allegations against him, Zack replaced him with Tig Notaro using green screens that were seamless compared to the mustache removal seen in Josstice (thanks to the Wanker Boomers and co demanding reshoots).

Franchise 8:
It one of the greatest series from Disney and it's taken me so long to delve into the hype. What has become of me? This series of fantasy pirate films has been around even longer than I expected before it was conceived of as a film franchise. Pirates of the Caribbean is the kind of live-action Disney that I like, where it feels like the first time I've seen a franchise like it, unlike the live-action remakes that feel like unwanted DLC with uglier skins. This and Tron feel like the best of the best when it comes to the non-animated/non-IP-they-never-made franchises they've created, and for as long as it's around, I'll be more than happy to give it some long overdue love!
So what do I think of the story? It's pretty good if you ask me! We go from Blacksmith Will Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow teaming up to save Elizabeth Swann from cursed pirates led by Hector Barbossa to a fight over the Dead Man's Chest as well as the heart of Davy Jones. Then we go to the World's End when Beckett gains control over Davy Jones and end piracy, forcing a rescue group to seek Jack Sparrow while also tackling a quest to release an ancient goddess that can stop Davy Jones/Beckett. After the original trilogy, we see Jack Sparrow searching for the Fountain of Youth and encounters Angelica as well as Blackbeard while going against Barbossa and the forces of King George II's Navy; once that's taken care of, the ghostly Spanish Royal Navy follows Captain Armando, who is an old foe of Jack Sparrow as they fight over the Trident of Poseidon. It's one meaty story if you ask me!
And what about the characters? I think they may blend in with one another to the average person not as invested in the franchise as hardcore fans are, but I think anyone new to this series should be able to learn more about the character with few issues. Obviously, Jack Sparrow is the core of the franchise, though other characters like Hector Barbossa, Will Turner, and especially Davy Jones are just as big as our main character. The latter is iconic for his well-made CGI and his legendary status among pirates as a superstition. The cast elevates Pirates of the Caribbean from a typical pirate series into a more complex one that just wins me over when I delved into it.
Should I expect anything else from the franchise? Well, I know for a fact that there have been two films in production, and there are also theme park attractions, books, and video games that tie in with the franchise (or predate the film series in terms of the ride), but the fact that the Pirates of the Caribbean series spawned a bigger franchise after initially being a ride astounds me. So in short, this franchise has taught me that believing in your dreams can get you to bigger places. And honestly, while people are more interested in Harry Potter or, Lord of the Rings, or Game of Thrones, I think I'm more content with the world of piracy found in this franchise. And if nothing else, I HAVE A JAR OF DIRT!!!!!

Franchise 9:
As someone who has delved into so much content from Power Rangers, it was eventual that I'd delve into its Japanese counterpart, Super Sentai. It's a rather interesting discovery since Super Sentai was already bigger than its worldwide counterpart, especially when it comes to the number of seasons it has and how many tropes it presented into the brand. Let's not forget the fact that Saban was just as interested in expanding the Power Rangers universe with other toku shows to adapt, the first few being Masked Rider, VR Troopers, and Big Bad Beetleborgs. Other companies in the US used other Japanese shows to capitalize on the American Toku craze, from Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad to the aforementioned Sailor Moon, all of them capitalizing on the success of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I saw Masked Rider's stuff and let me tell you it's got more of the 90s tropes than MMPR did! At least MMPR did new things like having weapon and Zord names that sound better as well as have an ongoing story arc that lets the show mature over time; Masked Rider was fun to watch but was very cheesy.
So what are the franchises that I do know about the most apart from that? Well, the only other one I know is the later made (and much-better made) Kamen Rider Dragon Knight! Much like Masked Rider, KRDK is an American toku series that uses footage from its Japanese counterpart, Ryuki, but it's actually a much better show compared to Masked Rider. While Masked Rider had that sort of light-hearted tone to it, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is story-driven, and while its tone was not on the same level that Power Rangers RPM has, both make for great Tokusatsu shows that go beyond the typical kiddy show tropes (especially since the Disney Era has better writing than most of PR since Samurai). If anything, I like the writing quality of this show a lot, especially when it comes to the story of Kit Taylor going into alien warfare with Xaviax and his species. Over the course of the series, other Kamen Rider heroes join the fray on top of the quest for new Advent Decks.
And what other franchises would I want to delve into? Honestly, that'll be tough. I feel like the Kamen Rider series is super hard to catch up with unless you have been around since the very beginning. Although I know that recent seasons like Zi-O and Saber are not well-received, I'm pretty sure that looking into the rest of the tokusatsu world of Kamen Rider will almost take an eternity! Not that it's impossible, but with me having so many other interests that I've known much longer, delving into the rest of the Kamen Rider seasons that are not Black RX nor Ryuki is going to be big. If anything, this franchise is one worth giving a shot if you're interested in going beyond Power Rangers and Super Sentai.
And what about other metal heroes franchises? Well, I know that VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs, and other seasons that may or may not have been made by Toei exist, but I don't think I'll probably look into them with the same level of immediate interest that I do with what I already know. I will say that it was interesting to see Jiraya adapted as Sheriff Skyfire in Super Ninja Steel and Gavan as Chaku in Beast Morphers Season 2, but beyond that, I'll probably leave those franchises aside until I'm given the chance to do so. And one final thing: I'd rather be happy with just leaving these franchises subbed. While it was cool to discover that other toku shows were adapted in the US, I'd rather Hasbro focus on making PR great again than try to bring back the toku craze that lasted a little bit.

And that does it for today's post! Holy crap was it a lot to write about, and it amazes me that the different franchises I have can juxtapose one another. From military sci-fi to superhero deconstruction to dark stories to magical girls to turtle power to a hellish FPS to betting on dead to isekai to pirates and transforming heroes, it's all about variety! Some franchises have more attention from me than others, but they were able to keep me content when content from franchises like Transformers, Power Rangers, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc felt dry for a good while.
