Merry Christmas to everyone

Well i never imagined of saying this we have reach almost to very end of 2021 as much we try to recover from 2020 and the outbreaks of that year it has been but we survived and now that we can relax and managed to focus with our families. While there is the virus that still spreading but we can stop it and I'm not gonna talk about it anyways. 

Let's hope that we can hope for the best of 2022 to be a better year. But at least we got ourselves the awesome itself Into the spider verse movie Spider Man no way home where we have Daredevil and later Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield that was a respect to the fans. 

Now the writing of this i hope for the best to everyone reading this. 

Anyways Merry Christmas 

Stay safe 

Also here's your Surprised

I'm a Nickelodeon kid and fan cause I grow up with it. 

Is Adapting video games as a movie hard?

So in today's age we get movies based on video games adapted on screen which result of fans getting annoyed and disappointed with it which resulting of fans getting upset about how much the producers and directors with messing the source material and that they are ignoring the fans and not taking in their criticism. Well there is been Comic book superheroes that were adapted on Tv and Movie like Batman 66 and Superman the movie from Richard Doner and Christopher Reeve and we'll get Tim Burton's Batman film Sam Rami's Spider-man than later Iron man and The MCU you name it that have respect the source material following the disastrous Batman and Robin from 1997 that bomb hard and result of Batman to be under developing for a new film before 2005 hoping if studios can learn about their lessons or that something studios should listen to the fans. 

 

But look no further and we can Sonic The Hedgehog trailer that was out back in 2019 which cause a firestorm of fans roasting the design of how bad it went through but look no further we get the redesign choice that the fans want and later trailer that was out in November 2019 and push for a February 2020 release and fans were being listen to from the studio Paramount picture's which gets me to wonder how should an video game movie be adapted is listening to the fans getting the characters design right and how the video game talk about. Well yes or eventually there was been Sub-plots character thoughts and changing the characters and personality. 

Sure other movies based on video games didn't get the memo right which was Warcraft Assassin's Creed (Oh boy that one hit me hard) Later Hitman who can't forget about Mario Brothers movie Street Fighters and the other movies based on Video Games in the early 2000s that i wish not to speak about cause they didn't even respect the source material and got so mad to boxed them in Vancouver i'm not gonna get into that as for Tomb Raider yeah that one wasn't good while there is other video games going to be adapted but they will cause some problems if they are actually respect not mess up. Don't worry we did got Sonic Angry Birds and the sequel itself and There was the Resident Evil movie out in 2002 that were received positively or mostly mediocre

As for other video game movies that were adapted that. 

Miss the point 

Bizarre changes 

The story either becomes good or bad or worse Terrible 

It doesn't need to be like a cinematic movie 

Don't get why the video game is made and needs to be made in the first place.

I feel like that these studios will make a lot of money when these video game movies are a box office success and launch an universe and more sequels depending on how will they be launch and do well in the box office but won't cause when the first weekend comes around it will be an box office flop and later the second weekend comes and does poorly and flop. While not all do bad we did have Tomb Raider Sonic Angry birds its sequels that work well either they follow the story have it's source material faithful make the story good and how they have updated it. 

So while yes studios have followed the feedback like Sonic and getting the characters right and trying not to launch an video game universe like MCU or DCEU depending on will we see with them going to adapted on screen faithful and listen to the fans and yes perhaps for the fans who knows. 

Happy 20 years of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius

Disclaimer 

I'm not a professional critic and i don't do these five out of stars or 10 out of 10 that i seen it's just me talking about an 20 year old film that i like and giving out this post. 

Okay so i know that i went gone back and fourth with this but i want to do celebrated the 20 years anniversary to Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius Movie and looking back at it. Since i watch it around Kindergarten or 1th grade but anyways i had a lot of memories the lines and scenes that i remember it and even there was a pilot call Runaway rocketboy that i saw and it was pretty good which also led to the movie and later show, those of us who still know the film very well had fun experiences watching it even remembering when it first came out if any of the kids were born in the 90s and 2000s either of us would have been around 5 6 7 maybe 10 years old or depending on which age we have been of seeing the movie in theaters or those who may have saw it if born between 1999-2001 but anyways. 

So this movie went through over roughly 24 months of work that the employees and animators went through and had some extra space before i talk about the movie let tell most of you all that hasn't seen the short film or rather test pilot call Runaway Rocketboy that started the film. Jimmy Neutron was going to be call Johnny Quasar that John Davis pitch the idea about in the 1980s and was shown SIGGRAPH and John met Steve Oedekerk and they start to work on the show movie and shorts later on while going through the development of the film Jimmy was call Johnny Quasar but sounded too familiar to Johnny Quest so it was change to Jimmy Neutron and the pilot of Runaway Rocketboy was release first to Nickelodeon they actually like the short film and decided that the movie can go first and then the show later on which was about over 24 months to go through the film. 

Here are the pictures of what the original was meant to be before it got change and the film we all know and love. 

So yeah a lot was said about what the film went through before the changes came you guys are welcome to see for yourself. 

What it holds 

So the animation that was done by DNA Productions and using the animation software Light Wave and project:messiah what also got me pretty much like about the movie's animation is how different it is from the show since the animation look nice and mostly bright and different there are some cooler moments i think on the planet that they are on call Yoklus which to be honest that part where Jimmy and his friends are on is pretty interest even its civilization that has an highway like style i think without it's vehicles they run on egg-like structures to hold into their bodies and the planet itself looks cool with it's bright colors. Earth as well mainly Retroville the animation looks nice too. Also they use Maya and Lightwave for the show after the success of the movie. 

Plot

The plot of the film talks about Jimmy Neutron an 11 year old Genius Intelligence he lives in Retroville with his parents he wants to find other life on other planets and he does so after leaving an alien message Jimmy is fed up with his parents and wish they wouldn't bother him and after being grounded and wish for no parents which work, later his toaster machine that is a video message was pick up by The Yolkians after receiving it they kidnapped the parents of the kids after the kids of Retroville had some fun time on their own but realized that they're parents aren't back Jimmy discovers that Earth have been visited by aliens but have taken them away now it's up for Jimmy and his friends to go rescue them 

Characters

So We know that Jimmy Neutron is the title character he has a dog name Goddard that he made and Goddard is one of Jimmy's Invention but he's more of his pet dog and has made other inventions. Jimmy Lives in Retroville Texas he lives with his parents Hugh and Judy Neutron and his mechanical dog that is one of Jimmy's inventions. Jimmy Neutron is voice by Debi Derryberry Carl Wheezer is voice by Rob Paulsen who has done other voice overs from Animantics Pinky and The Brain Transformers GI Joe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you can find his other voice other works on cartoons, Sheen Estevez is voice by Jeffrey Garcia, Cindy Vortex is voice by Carolyn Lawrence who has voice over roles from SpongeBob SquarePants Nick Dean is voice by Candi Milo Libby Folfax is voice by Crystal Scales 

So the film itself does have an interested cast and the characters has an interest moments in the movie like Carl Wheezer who is loves llamas and sort of scare but mostly helpful Sheen's Obsession with Ultralord Cindy and Jimmy's will they fall in love or not to mostly some friendly territory is shown in the movie and shown also they really like each other they just hate each other and you can find that out on the Jimmy Neutron Wiki on their relationship. 

Jimmy's Parents are voiced by Mark Decarlo who voices Hugh Neutron who in this movie was smart than he was in the show where Hugh was more quirky and doing his own things, Judy Neutron is voiced by Megan Cavannah, Judy is known for calling Jimmy's Name James Isaac Neutron she is known for having the house clean and is kind of germophobe also fun fact Jimmy got his super intelligence from his mother only a possibility since this was shown for her intelligence back in the show who knows i'll talk about it next time but anyways, Goddard is voice by the legend himself Frank Walker who has done other talent voice over roles that you have seen before or not who has done Transformers like Voicing Megatron Mirage Soundwave Trailbreaker Rumble Frezney etc.

The Aliens call the yolkians King Goobot v is voiced by Patrick Stewart who is known for Professor x from X men films and Piccard from the star trek films and Martin Short voices Ooblar The king's cousin and this is his first animated voice role. 

Here in this photo is Martin Davis and Patrick going through the voice recordings. 

The Soundtrack

John Debrney that done the music composer and there was other music bands that did the song like Brian Casey and Bowling for Soup, who done the theme song for both the movie and show which was also in the pilot of Jimmy Neutron. I Have mentioned of My favorite tracks of the film but i'll say it. We got ourselves a Boogey that was right after the movie 's opening titles Jimmy's Rocket machine 

Ready to school machine where Jimmy is getting ready for school and heading to the bus, 

Show and tell where the kids are giving their presentation and the music behind it sounds pretty cool, and i laugh at Sheen doing Ultralord once again for an seventh time in class and trying to explain what it does seriously how long has he shown ultra lord. Good Night where Hugh and Judy came in to say good night to Jimmy but is Goddard in Disguise pretending to be Jimmy and the music background sounded pretty nice (and sometimes similar to Cindy and Jimmy and didn't even say goodbye) 

Did they all went to Florida which jimmy felt like if his wish didn't even happen and his parents are around and nothing went wrong if he was there and didn't escape and i like the scene where the character name butch look for his mom in the trashcan and trying to figure out, Goddard trying to scan for adults around which has that music reminds me sometimes Ratchet and Clank classic games. 

Didn't even say goodbye Now i have mentioned of how much i like it cause the parts where it's hear while Jimmy and Goddard are back home but no one isn't home and you heard that music while Jimmy is heading back home and felt they didn't say goodbye but a video message is felt now i really like that scene and a promise to Retroland and you can hear the music in the background similar to the other music i mentioned of. 

Meteor before the Meteor shower came, after the launch it goes through well nice music felt like I'm watching one of those Disney movies that had sort remind of Disney's own soundtrack but i did like where Jimmy and Cindy look at each as of to like each other but shrug it off feeling it's not worth it and they still like each other in private. later the meteor shower hits after Carl realized it which he has his moments Sheen trying to get through before being bumped around, and the action works nice the camera moving around where the kids in their vehicles are they try to escape and make it through and land on a planet for shelter and towards the end of landing felt like a John Williams music of Star wars or Superman. 

Alien Planet where the kids see the planet call Yolkus as they approach it and seeing how the planet is before the next song Alien Nation kicks in and gives that feeling of early 2000s that has the hip hop music where at 1:46 the song starts from while Jimmy Goddard Sheen Carl Cindy and Libby are searching for their parents and amazed of the yolkians' lifestyle. 

Jimmy and Cindy, moment where Jimmy is crying of how much he has cause but Cindy is there to help him and manages after being rescue they head out to rescue their parents, Jimmy to the rescue where it plays out and heard where Carl asks Jimmy about Sheen who was trying to get the ship for their escape and some areas it's heard which at the end and listening it is actually heard. 

Big chase, that had real action and chase sequence was pretty awesome even the part with the sun and Jimmy saying who wants some fired chicken and going through the sun was a pretty cool scene especially how bright the sun is which lead to the aliens being defeated after being blown away from Jimmy and hit a rock. Big chase itself felt like I'm listening to Star wars once again. 

Jimmy is the winner is one of my favorites where Jimmy and the kids is reunited with their parents and Jimmy reconcile with his parents cause of his intelligence and thinking he can do things on his own but was wrong and now with him Goddard Hugh and Judy now reunited i felt that song was pretty nice and enjoyable to listen sometimes it always remember when Nickelodeon had shows that reflect on beautiful family moments around 0:55 and 1:53 throughout the track itself felt pretty nice even so i can also hear the music. Go check out the soundtrack everytime i listen to this i wonder how did Nickelodeon offer this kind of music so awesome and beautifully made.

The other music were from No secrets' We're the kids in America Aaron Carter's Go Jimmy Jimmy Leave it up to me Backstreet Boys The answer to our life (It's heard in the movie and you can look for yourself and listen closely where Jimmy Carl and Sheen are walking back from School) Backstreet Boys Music has to be my favorite The answer to our life is my favorite to listen to. NSYNC Pop A C's Alien Nation. I happened to like No Secrets' We're in America cause i really like that song as a kid and how i remember it in movie where the kids go to outer space and the song is play as they launch themselves to space which i thought was pretty awesome there was a music video of it which was cool a full video of it hasn't been uploaded a recording of it is on Youtube but i watch the music video from No secret before i left for school, check these one out. Also when looking back at the soundtrack i sometimes want to joke about nickelodeon who may have heard of other rock music before like Transformers the Movie from 1986 where it had Weird Al Stan Bush and other 80srock band even Lion's theme for Transformers with them saying hey the movie should have that rock bad or boy band music well maybe look at Hasbro they got the 86 movie for Transformers and it had rock music great so Jimmy Neutron can get that i like your idea. I know maybe it was the crew at DNA Production that must have thought of that.

My Favorite Parts of the movie 

I Haven't mentioned about my favorite parts of the movie but here goes for saying of course. 

Jimmy confronting Goobot after being captured and the scene of Goobot throne room is a cool design reminds me of Star wars. 

The part where Jimmy and Carl are at school discussing their drawings and the show and tell where they have show their stuff before Jimmy's backfires. 

Also Sheens seventh time of Ultralord made me laugh of that moment and him saying No hilarious. 

Hugh and Judy have breakfast which i know it may seem random but I thought why not and I like how None of them know that Jimmy is outer space and trying to get the satellite transmission to outer space and Hugh had his moments for being likable. 

No parents scene is one of my favorites where the kids are wondering where are their parents and not one of them are in sure they got abduction but they didn't know until sheen spill the beans. And then we get Blitzkrieg bop from the ramones which really got me to remember the song and still one of my favorite songs and it was also used in Spider-Man Homecoming.

Jimmy gives a speech where they kick the alien's butts scene is pretty cool and that's where we got the beat music kicks in now that is a cool scene. 

Jimmy and the gang escaping their way back home before the chase is on and later the Yolkians are on their tail and follows them which lead to an amazing chase sequence and follow up with a message from the aliens who are not call Yolkians in the film just call the aliens. 

Jimmy would have use his shrink ray device to grow himself big and blows off the aliens to an asteroid rock resulting of them without their bodies and defeated. 

Jimmy now reunited with his parents it's a nice touching moment where he learns a lesson and his family have a good time admitting they love him and had a blast with an journey. There was that scene where Judy drinks the burping soda which result of her burping and so did Hugh at the movie which was a funny moment and still remember it and sometimes reply it for some moments. 

Also one thing that the film miss is actually was Jimmy Goddard Judy and Hugh all went to retroland that Judy promises so i guess it actually happen or didn't. 

Conclusion 

Now we have reach it's twenty anniversary of the film and so far the film hold very well and i quite like it and always have a lot of fun memories of the movie since i used to watch it with my siblings and my parents laugh at the moments even though it's a nickelodeon movie and it came out in the 2000s like Nick did with Rugrats Wild Thornberrys Hey Arnold movie and Jimmy Neutron was one of Nick's Computer animated movie before going to animation shows who cannot forget about Nick's logo at the opening of the film after Paramount Pictures and Goddard was there which i smile at and still to this very day, I recommend watching the movie if you have it on DVD VHS or if's online streaming service like Paramount plus on Watchonlinecartoon site Jimmy Neutron will always have a special place in our hearts for it's memorable cast the lines from the movie dank memes and the show itself and having it still alive after the memorable lines and scenes and it's a fun Nickelodeon movie.

Also you can find the posts that i have made about Jimmy Neutron and now that the show itself is turning 20 years old well next year and yes i did talk about the show and maybe might do an post or not perhaps one of my favorite episodes that i would want to talk about it next year and one day we'll get some news of Jimmy Neutron revival while fans are hoping for it's return perhaps the animation it was using can be updated and i guess the intro itself can have the update introduction.  

If i come back to this post by updating for anything i'll do it or make a post. 

How Sony screw things up for Tobey's Spider Man and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man Unvierse

So if you noticed that i have watch No way home on it's premiere date and it was fun and a blast and also very packed but managed to keep my distance. So spoilers if you have not seen the film cause i will talk about it i strongly recommended that you don't read this post if you have seen the film i'm gonna talk about the fanservices but most notably the screws that have happen to Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire.

Tobey Maguire's Spider Man 4 

So after the box office success of Spider Man 3 and we were supposed to get Spider-Man 4 to be release around 2010 or 2011 after waiting for news and news we didn't get one which was cancelled after Sam Rami was upset with Spider-Man after how the film was being interfered with Sony that cause the problems of the film and how they pushed for three villains instead of Green Goblin arc that Sam try to push for and he hated the drafts of the fourth Spider-Man that had him leave.

But lately we have been wondering of what the film was going to be about and after we had info about it back in 2016 if i remember correctly supposedly the film was going to be about Peter and Mary Jane Watson's marriage that is a struggle and having a kid of their own and Peter's life as Spider-Man so this film would have been more darker like the batman films were at the time and Jk Simmons role in this would have been aside but only some cameos or couple of scenes in Spider-Man 4. 

The villains in this story were going Vulture and Vulturess (Some nutjob on Screen crush was being an annoying guy who shut up about it). There would have been a scene or battle sequence where Spider-Man would have fought against Vulture which was storyboard and upload on YouTube and the sequence of Spider-Man fighting against The Vulture would have been cool to see but depending on the budget and cgi efforts to make it happen. But later in January 2010 Sam Rami's Spider Man trilogy came to an end and got ourselves Andrew Garfield's Spider Man universe pretty much that this fourth spider man movie was the reason why that Spider-Man 3 had studio interference from one of the producers from Sony likely Avi Arad who seriously was responsible for the damage no wonder why he hasn't left. 

Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man 3 

After Spider-Man was reboot in 2010 and we got The Amazing Spider-Man film which was well received and then The Amazing Spider-Man 2 that didn't do very well Andrew Garfield not happy with the film in general and choose to leave and resulting of Spider-Man to be in the MCU with Tom Holland but before that we did get some info about how the film would have been good than we almost got The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4 this would have been a great opportunity if we did had a Third and Fourth TASM film and details on Fourth TASM film is unknown. Now the third film we did get the plot of the film which was about resurrecting people that Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) would have want to resurrection Gwen Stacey George Stacey and His father Richard Parker there would have been a deleted scene with Norman Osborn's head to being frozen and another scene with Richard parker alive which was also a deleted scene 

So this film would have been about resurrection i don't know what to say about it. but you can look for yourself and see how would the film went pretty blizzard if you ask me. 

But after the negative reviews of Amazing Spider-Man 2 got the plans for a planned universe were cancelled which result of Spider man being in the MCU and Tom Holland cast for civil war and his planned films that got release along the way and the Amazing Spider man films were cancelled until we got Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire back in the Mcu as their own Spider-Man. 

P.S this one had to go through some updates and changes.
