Dragon Ball Super Episode 101 Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for the episode.

The Tournament of Power is drawing ever closer to completion, which causes Universe 11 to step up this week and start dealing out some justice. The result was a fun, action-packed episode that saw Universe 11 far worse off than anyone could’ve imagined. Amidst it all, one of the most touching moments in recent Dragon Ball memory occurred, making for a nice emotional surprise during all the chaos.

One of the greatest aspects of the Tournament of Power arc has been the resurgence of old characters. This week we saw that in spades, as Master Roshi, Tien, and both Androids were utilized frequently, displaying their unique skills and talents we saw them practice leading up to the tournament. Simply showing them off fighting would’ve been enough, but taking it a step further by showcasing them winning battles is even better. Their power levels will never compete with the likes of Goku, but in this battle royale setting where the weak and strong are all fighting, they have their moments to shine. I’m quite pleased to see Super not glossing over them in favor of Goku.

Detroit Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

It’s one thing to review a movie, it’s another thing altogether to review an anxiety attack.

Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit is a concussive dramatization of a true story, in which corrupt and racist police officers violently detained ten black men and two white women during the 12th Street Riot of 1967. The incident would leave innocent people dead, and if you’re not familiar with these events, and if you assume that justice would be served, then you might not have a particularly keen understanding of the history of the American criminal justice system.

Then again, if you aren’t familiar with this incident, you’re in Kathryn Bigelow’s target audience. Detroit is designed to shock and repel you and challenge your assumptions about law, order and everything in between, but that works best if you still actually have those assumptions. If the real-life events of Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit are news to you then there’s a good chance you will emerge from this film having learned an important lesson.

Star Wars: Darth Vader #4 Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

While this new series has hardly been without its flaws so far, it has succeeded in justifying Marvel's decision to publish a new Darth Vader comic so soon after wrapping up the previous volume. Aesthetically, tonally and in terms of setting, this Darth Vader comic feels like a whole different animal.

The time period is the single most crucial difference between this Darth Vader comic and its predecessor. Whereas Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca explored a Vader at the height of his power and mastery of the Dark Side, Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli are working with a much weaker and more uncertain Vader. His broken body lacks the raw power it once wielded as Anakin Skywalker, and he's years away from becoming the precise, imposing warrior who singlehandedly hacks his way through Rebel armies. He's uniquely vulnerable at this stage in his career, and that's a fact that creative team continue to seize on in this issue.

Generations: Hulk #1 Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Marvel's Generations maxi-series is a project that aims to bridge the gap between Secret Empire and the Marvel Legacy relaunch. The general idea seems to be to pursue the "respect the past, embrace the future" mentality by having current incarnations of popular heroes cross paths with their older counterparts. Basically, it's a foundation for a bunch of straightforward, entertaining crossovers between past and present. As long as you're not expecting anything deeper or more meaningful than that, this opening Hulk chapter won't disappoint.

Marvel has yet to explain the hows and whys of Generations, and this issue makes it pretty apparent that they aren't going to. There's no explanation for why Amadeus Cho finds himself suddenly thrust into the past to help a Silver Age-era Hulk defend himself from General Ross' army. His confusion is meant to mirror the reader's own. And the immediacy of his predicament quickly makes any questions about continuity quickly irrelevant.
