Today, I went to the cinema and watched the Live-Action How To Train Your Dragon movie

And in my opinion...


Hands down, as good as the original. May I say possibly even better?

No joke this movie slapped. I swear in the Test Drive scene when they dived, it genuinely felt like I was on a rollercoaster, it was just THAT thrilling.

Disney better take notes, THIS is how you make a live action remake, this one actually used lots of practical effects and the level of detail was insane. I watched a BTS documentary and you can tell the crew were really passionate in the project and it shows. There were also a lot of really neat details you might easily miss, like how when Fishlegs mentions a Scaldron at one point, the camera points at Ruffnut, a possible easter egg to the show Riders of Berk, when she befriends a Scaldron

Or in the conversation between Stoick and Gobber when they mention Valka, you could hear the motif of the song they sing together in HTTYD2 faintly in the background. Details like these are really cool touches.

Overwise yeah there's not too much to say otherwise. It's literally just HTTYD in Live-Action. The dragons look good, the acting is solid, the movie is quite scary (the dragons actually feel way more dangerous in the live-action remake, probably due to the live-action-ness of it, the threat of death is way more real) and overall just really good. PlatinumBlade approved, 9/10.

Last time I went to the cinema, I watched KFP4 which was easily my least favourite Dreamworks Movie. So funny that the last 2 cinema visits were for DW movies, the first I hated and 2nd I loved (btw only true fans remember that KFP4 rant I posted last year)

Also apologies for not posting in a while, been busy doing stuff (gym, chores, touching grass, etc.)

Level 3 of Monstuso Labratories will be revealed soon, took a while cause I was playing tons of BTD 6

So No Man's Sky had a big update today, and I've been having fun with the brand new Corvette ships.

This is just a quick try (testing out the new features) but it looks really cool, plus the whole autopilot/getting out of your ship midflight is so cool:)

Clippy never asked for your information, he just wanted to help...

Greetings,

Apologies about lack of updates on Monstruso Labratories, but I've been busy doing THIS:

#ThePalaceOfOrder has received an update, and is available for download:

Lev is a trans man who appeared in The Last of Us Part 2 as one of Abby's allies. GLAAD described Lev as one of the "highlights of quality representation in recent years."

Lev was voiced by trans non-binary actor Ian Alexander.

Favourite Enemy Design?

Gotta go with BTD6's Dark Dirigible Titan (or DDT), somehow they made a balloon of all things look threatening

Level 4 (The Warehouse) is complete

Visually at least. Mechanically there's still some stuff that needs to be done (I'm trying to make a controllable ceiling crane/claw machine) but the build itself is done :)

It has finally been done...
