***

To say I was incredibly excited about this season is an understatement and thankfully it delivered. 

I still have not seen the anime so I can not make comparisions to the storylines etc. However, I felt this season did great in jumping pretty quickly to the next locations and at no point did the story seem to slow down at all. 

As with last season, the cast were incredible in their respective roles Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), Emily Rudd (Nami), Mackenyu (Zoro), Jacob Romero (Usopp), and Taz Skylar (Sanji). The introduction of Charithra Chandran playing Miss Wednesday was awesome and very well played, mysterious yet relatable that all makes sense as the season progresses. Though for me it was clear that Chopper played by Mikaela Hoover, stole the hearts of the entire family. I am excited to see the dymic of the characters moving forward with all the new crew mates. 

On the opposite side of things, for the first time I met a character I truly hated, Miss Goldenweek played by Sophia Anne Caruso. The actor did an incredible job at portraying the character and considering my love for the main cast it is easy to see why I truly hated her at one point. Without spoilers I will say similar to my love/hate relationship with Umbridge from the Harry Potter franchise, Miss Goldenweek will forever be a great actress with a great villian role that really I hated her for. 

Overall this season had some absolutely wonderful episodes and some great ones. There were some just good ones, introducing new characters and expanding the world we have come to love. 

The only negative, and I say negative kinda lightly, is that it felt like the marines were unnecssary this season. I understand that they had to introduce more characters early on, but when it came time to going back to them occassionally I just wanted to know more about the main cast honestly. 

Best Episode - 7 - So heartwarming, heartbreaking and just perfection in storytelling.

Worst Episode - 2 - Still good but did not care much about the marines. Also why does the new side character give Koby with swords vibe?

Overall still a great ride and the finale was just incredible bringing everything we had learned up until this point to a head. 

Final Thoughts

I loved this season very much and I am most definitely invested in our crews journey. It is so exciting to see where they will go and who they will meet along the way. Count me in for many more seasons ahead. 

Score:  8 out of 10. Highly recommend if you liked the first season.

Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Arthur Christmas - 2011

Image
  Genre:   Family, Comedy Rating:   PG  Synopsis: Santa and his elite elf team use spy-like stunts to deliver billions of presents to all the world's children in one incredible night. But a child is missed! Now it is up to Santa's youngest son Arthur to fix this slip-up and make good on the promise of Christmas. *** The casting in this movie was perfect. The main character of Arthur is played beautifully by James McAvoy and while the rest of the star-studded cast brought theirs to life with ease, I can not praise James enough. The childlike wonder in Arthur makes you easily root for him and James encapsulates his character perfectly.  Within the first few minutes of the movie, you get a complete sense of who each character is and how they interact with each other. Bad or good.  The storyline is simple and heartwarming with the right amount of action and jokes to keep you interested even after the credits roll. The animation is smooth and will be sure t...

Love, Death + Robots - Volume 3

  Netflix Original - No copyright intended Genre : Science fiction TV, TV thriller, TV horror Rating: TV MA After the glorious success of the last volume, I was hoping and praying that this would live up to the hype. Admittedly I was disappointed again seeing it was only 9 episodes, however, it did not disappoint.  Three Robots: Exit Strategies = 4 out of 10 Bad Travelling = 8 out of 10 The Very Pulse of the Machine = 7 out of 10 Night of the Mini Dead = 7 out of 10 Kill Team Kill = 8 out of 10 Swarm = 6 out of 10 Mason's Rats = 6 out of 10 In Vaulted Halls Entombed = 8.5 out of 10 Jibaro = 7 out of 10 Final Thoughts This volume was filled with crazy journeys, incredible visual effects, and just insane situations. This volume was filled with some amazing additions and others, while gorgeous and well-acted, were just hard to understand and keep up with. My favorite hands down were In Vaulted Halls Entombed. If you watch it you'll understand why. I want either a video game or a...

HBO The Last of Us - Season 1

Image
  Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller Rating:   TV-MA Synopsis: After a global pandemic destroys civilization, a hardened survivor takes charge of a 14-year-old girl who may be humanity's last hope. *** I will go on record immediately that I love this game and have played it through many times over the years. So when I heard about the TV show I was very excited.  I will admit that at first I was unsure about some of the casting choices, however it was clear very early on that each person played their parts beautifully. Both Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal did an amazing job in the lead roles. Gabriel Luna also played a great Tommy. Yet my heart could not stop the happiness when I saw the video game voice actors, Merle Dandridge as the same character  M arlene, Jeffrey Pierce the original Tommy as  Perry. And of course, the amazing  Ashley Johnson, the original Ellie, playing a new character of Anna and last but definately not least, the...
