The DarkspiderCast

After having too much time pass for me to ideally make seperate reviews for Oppenheimer or the Secret Invasion finale, I decided to take it all and combine it into one mega-topic in relation to the ongoing strikes and how Hollywood has been pushed by them into an eventual retcon of how the industry works. ---------------SOCIAL------------------ MAIN YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/DarkspiderDavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid PODCAST PAGE: https://anchor.fm/david-ortega56 ---------------AFFILIATE LINKS------------------ Shure MV7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3FRFzyP Elgato Wave Arm LP: https://amzn.to/3w9lZe9

The next installment in one of my favorite fighters is here, and it comes with a hefty chunk of modes, content and style to favor the eSports crowd while retaining the spirit of Street Fighter in tact. Being a casual fan of the series, I was looking forward to this one and the various modes its introducing, but one mode in particular had my highest expectations, only to set me off on a raging rant.... ---------------SOCIAL------------------ OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com MAIN YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/DarkspiderDavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid PODCAST PAGE: https://anchor.fm/david-ortega56 ---------------AFFILIATE LINKS------------------ Shure MV7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3FRFzyP Elgato Wave Arm LP: https://amzn.to/3w9lZe9

The farewell tour for the Guardians' and James Gunn's time with the MCU is here, as the Volume 3 has the team face their most personal challenge yet. Marvel Studios hasnt been in the fondest of lights within the industry as of late, but can Gunn's final set bring in even those with Marvel fatigue into the theater? ---------------SOCIAL------------------ OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com MAIN YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/DarkspiderDavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid PODCAST PAGE: https://anchor.fm/david-ortega56 ---------------AFFILIATE LINKS------------------ Shure MV7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3FRFzyP Elgato Wave Arm LP: https://amzn.to/3w9lZe9

2023 is already being touted as the year that video game adaptions are taken seriously, even when the adaption isn't meant to be serious. In comes the Super Mario Bros. movie spearheaded by the polished animation of Illumination Studios and the controversial casting of its voice talent. Having grown up in love with Nintendo's games and then subsequently "breaking up" with them in recent years over their anti-consumer practices, I feel quite adept to deliver a fair and non-bias take on what's likely the first of the Nintendo Cinmatic Universe. ---------------SOCIAL------------------ OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com MAIN YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/DarkspiderDavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid PODCAST PAGE: https://anchor.fm/david-ortega56 ---------------AFFILIATE LINKS------------------ Shure MV7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3FRFzyP Elgato Wave Arm LP: https://amzn.to/3w9lZe9

My first Day 1 release of the year, and its a remake of a game I'm in the minority of not really liking: Resident Evil 4. However, since I've been adiment that if they could blend the gameplay and feel of the RE2 remake with Leon's visit to Spain and the lore behind Las Plagas....we might have a winner. After 20 hours, here's where I stand on the Resident Evil 4 Remake, first with no spoilers then a deep dive into the key difference from the original. ---------------SOCIAL------------------ OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com MAIN YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/DarkspiderDavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid PODCAST PAGE: https://anchor.fm/david-ortega56 ---------------AFFILIATE LINKS------------------ Shure MV7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3FRFzyP Elgato Wave Arm LP: https://amzn.to/3w9lZe9

Phase 5 has officially begun and, with it, a clear focus on what the MCU is going for as the Mulitverse Saga takes off in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Many are already experiencing Marvel/superhero movie fatigue and it understandably affects their opinion of Scott Lang's newest adventure, but is there more meat to chew on this bone than all of Phase 4 ever had?? ----------------------------LINKS--------------------------------- OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/darkspiderdavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid

Let me know through the comments or poll section: what was your favorite games of the year and what are you looking forward to in 2023?? ----------------------------LINKS--------------------------------- OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/darkspiderdavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid

Its been 84 years...or at least its felt like it, since the first Avatar released and promise of sequels were made by filmmaker James Cameron. Now, the tech has advanced to fulfill Cameron's vision for the franchise and the land of Pandora carries on. But even over a decade since my criticism of the first films story and character development, it looks like not much has progressed outside of the VFX tech. ----------------------------LINKS--------------------------------- OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/darkspiderdavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid

Ragnarök has come to an end for me after 40 hours, and I can certainly say this is a game worth thinking about, talking about, and break down in the most introspective way. No spoilers will be revealed here, and though I can't compare it directly to Elden Ring since I haven't played it yet, I can definitely say its the Godfather Part II of the gaming industry thus far. However, that might not mean what you think... ----------------------------LINKS--------------------------------- OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/darkspiderdavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid

Phase 4 of the MCU comes to a close with a somber and poignant turn as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever serves as both a touching tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman while also cementing Wakanda's powerful importance in the big picture of the Marvel Universe. However, its second act remembers to be a Marvel movie as well, proving the film to fall short of the height its processor was naturally able to achieve. Here's my review of Wakanda Forever with a spoiler segment at the end. ----------------------------LINKS--------------------------------- OFFICIAL SITE: darkspiderdavid.com YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/darkspiderdavid91 TWITTER: twitter.com/DarkspiderDavid INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/DarkspiderDavid
