Ryan Reynolds plays the same character in everything he does and I love it


‘at this point how can you not believe in climate change.’ Detective Pikachu

Pokémon Detective Pikachu



From Two guys and a girl, to Deadpool one and two, Ryan Reynolds has managed to play the sarcastic, witty and loveable character. This was the sole reason I chose to see his latest film Pokémon Detective Pikachu.

I did wonder how Ryan Reynolds very mature voice was going to match with one of the cuter Pokémon but with graphics, Pikachu remained as cute as ever.  I even found myself wanting to reach out to screen and hold the Pokémon.

My knowledge of Pokémon beyond Pikachu, Squirtle and Bulbasaur is stark but didn’t stop me engaging with the movie as the skills of each Pokémon are explained as they become relevant.

 Tim Goodwin (Justice Smith) goes to the city of Rime after he finds out his father has died. There he meets his father’s Pokémon, Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) and together they investigate his death.

I didn’t go into the cinema with high hopes for the film and as the start of the film was riddled with overused or unnatural dialogue, I remained pessimistic.

But the film did pick up speed for me when Detective Pikachu entered. Reynolds' performance as one of the more popular Pokémon has been praised by many.

It was clear to me that many people in the cinema were real Pokémon fans due to their audible excitement each time a new character was introduced, along with the disdain at the changing pronunciations of MewTwo. It was for this reason that I think the cinema was full and the opening weekend earnings have already amounted to more than $20 million.

The film is definitely enjoyable for Pokémon fans and non-Pokémon fans alike despite its clichés.

The Rock is the Worst Actor from the WWE

Despite the joint second highest paid actor of 2019 being Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, the question remains if WWE superstars can successfully change paths and become great actors. I originally was going to discuss the idea that Dwayne Johnson’s acting career has been inferior to that of his former WWE colleague Dave Bautista’s , who is appearing in more films as of late, as I have found some of Bautista’s performances in films such as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) to be much more enjoyable than The Rock’s blockbuster films like Central Intelligence (2016) . However; although Bautista has vocalised his desire to be an actor as opposed to just a movie star, both men are stuck in the roles of the muscular and powerful characters that they were in the WWE. Dave Bautista in his role as Drax, from the  Marvel Universe Johnson and Bautista have upcoming summer releases, Hobbs & Shaw and My Spy respectively, which see them taking on roles of “badass” government op

The real winner of the Internet's biggest boxing match: Ethan Payne

On November 9th internet juggernauts KSI and Logan Paul fought in six round boxing match in which one point difference made KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, victorious. Along with an unpredicted result, as both fighters anticipated knockouts, what was also surprising was the way mainstream media embraced the online world. Mainstream media seems to be embracing online content more in terms of entertainment as American late night TV shows have are often on YouTube's trending page. However, the relationship between the social media and mainstream worlds isn't as strong in regards to sport. KSI standing victorious after beating Logan Paul on November 9th. But for #KSIvsLoganPaul2 many mainstream outlets wanted to be a part of it. One of the main platforms that did this was Sky Sports Boxing. Not only was the fight made available on box office but also the London press conference was live streamed and was followed by many interviews from British social media star

What Sneako is missing…..

Image
  On the 20 th of October commentary YouTubers Aba and Preach uploaded a video in response to recently deplatformed content creator Sneako who criticised the Canadian’s for not making a video speaking out against YouTube’s decision to delete his channels. Earlier this month Sneako‘s two YouTube channels were taken down after the New York based creator received three strikes on his livestreaming channel SHNEAKO where the streamer posted red pill content, talked negatively about women including aggressively simulating sex towards youtuber Chad Chad. Aba and Preach aren’t the first content creators Sneako, real name Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, has expressed discontent with. In late August the 24-year-old had an argument with KSI, Britain’s biggest YouTuber, on Twitter because Sneako was upset that KSI was celebrating Andrew Tate, fellow red pill content creator, being banned on  all popular social media sites.
