I think it's nice that Michael (movie) has a soundtrack of the songs used in the film HOWEVER, I think it would really do better if it featured songs of both Juliano and Jaafar singing.

I'm not sure how strong Juliano's voice is but "Fairy Tales" could've featured.

As for Jaafar

"Wanna Be Startin' Something" since I'm so sure that's him singing it at the start of the movie, the voice sounded a bit too deep to be Michael.

"Ben" maybe since it was featured heavily

"Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" since he does the acapella in the movie

"Human Nature" ... maybe since it was so prominent. Maybe that's a lot of extra work lol but I think that would've been nice and I know I would get the album for that reason. Otherwise, I don't really have a reason to get the Michael (movie) soundtrack at all.

This little show is the most Will has ever done that’s not him being sad and weepy lol

[truessences]

Finally watching Tales from 85 and I think it’s fine so far. The voice acting is good and I think these kids do a good job of maintaining the sound and vibes of the actors… except El, I don’t really like her voice. But also, it just continues to solidify that I literally couldn’t care less about Steve lol.

Also, I don’t like the characterization for Mike in the scene when Will was trying to talk to Nikki after she misunderstood what she heard. I know during this time period he was at his “meanest” but it felt unnecessarily mean. Plus the animation doesn’t help the drama lol

Movie Review: Michael (2026)

Summary: The story of the famous musician Michael Jackson, known as the King of Pop. Apparently, this is a “Part 1” from what I’ve heard. I watched Jaafar talking about it in an interview and I personally don’t like the idea of there being a sequel, but it seems like it’s going to happen. In my opinion, his story needs to only be one movie or a miniseries because a sequel would be overall…

I like when anime guys with long hair they keep pulled back are fighting and their hair comes out of the ponytail. 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I will never play Poppy Playtime but watching it, even with Mark being annoyed while playing, which did annoy me... he wasn't wrong in his criticism. There are so many chases and puzzles. It's insane. Chapter 3 I thought was probably the best chapter, a great villain, suspense and a challenge that didn't feel like it just for the sake of it. But that's just as a watcher and not a player.

I know the story is the most interesting aspect of this game but if you're only going to lore dump, then write a book, make a tv show or something. Don't make a 5 hour video game that is a slog for these players to go through.

I just want to know the story at the end of the day. But also... since we have this regenerative goop... can we save Dogday? lol

Now we've seen the Prototype... okay check.

The orphans are dead... okay... check.

Now who officially is the player? I guess that's the last piece of the main puzzle.

since it's canon eddie's mom died of illness: headcanon that the reason why eddie had a shaved head in middle school (as he tells chrissy) is bc he either shaved it in solidarity with his mom who died of cancer or shaved it after to give his hair away in her honor

[truessences]

In my fic, when he thinks about his hair, his mom helped take care of it, not that it was super long but long enough. But it was a cute thing between them (among others). So when she died, he wanted to cut it because he was angry at her death and he demands for Wayne to cut it but he said no, not like this and so Eddie does it himself but super regrets it because it was emotionally charged.

steve rogers and natasha romanoff had some of the best romantic chemistry in the mcu and the fact that it was thrown out the window and replaced with mediocre ships with horrible writing HAUNTS ME

[truessences]

I’ve always liked Steve and Sharon and Natasha and Bucky in the comics BUT because Chris and Scarlett (who have worked together before on a rom-com) had great chemistry that I wouldn’t have been upset if they put them together.

It would make sense considering how she was with him all in Winter Soldier and then went with him for Infinity War and then was running stuff, they were always so fun and gentle with each other.

It’s been years since I’ve watched Endgame and I don’t hate Steve for his choice but I don’t think the Steve at that point would’ve made it… but it also doesn’t help that Nat sacrificed herself too. 😮‍💨

TV Review: Stranger Things Season 5 (2025)

Summary: Stranger Things Season 5 is the final chapter, focusing on the ultimate battle to defeat Vecna and close the rifts as the Upside Down merges with Hawkins, forcing the group to unite for a massive confrontation, uncovering the true nature of the Upside Down as a wormhole to “The Abyss,” and culminating in sacrifices and bittersweet goodbyes for the beloved characters There will be…

TV Review: Stranger Things Season 5 (2025)

[truessences]

So I just finished watching the final season of My Hero Academia, and I've put it off because I watch in dub and I was waiting for it to be finished. Then Stranger Things happened and Bridgerton that I got pushed back. I'm not necessarily someone who puts off finishing a show but maybe I was for MHA.

While I know the anime/manga gets a lot of flack, mostly because of the fandom (which I think Stranger Things has a lot similarities in that way), I think the show is so good. I've rewatched it many times because I find it easy to rewatch and I love these characters so much. Those kids from class 1A are my children and I've been a massive Izuku defender from when I watched the show back when it came out. I probably came to it right when S2 started or a little after.

But watching the growth of Izuku and Bakugo specifically was such a joy. These characters are complex, I mean Hawks? People liked him because he's hot, which yes, but that didn't draw me to him (outside of the fact that he's played by Zeno Robinson who I'm a big fan of) but his actual complexity. Izuku has grown so much BUT he never gave up his core values which is so great to watch.

I've always liked Bakugo but also a love/hate because I don't like bullies but he's grown so much that in this final season, that boy had me in tears so much.

The stress of watching these fights and seeing these almost deaths or the sacrifices being made and seeing how they rush past those weaknesses and use them as strengths or overcome them to continue pushing forward. Or how Izuku inspires others? MAN!

I've been saying to my friends how triumphant the show feels and how I feel when watching. I can't wait to rewatch in the future.
