Hey, Jackson Hughes here, a nerd, and proud to be it. This is a blog , focused on anything other people would deem as ‘sad’. Enjoy our sadness!
Every Show Disney+ Will (Most Likely) Ruin
The MCU has a solid foundation built on billions of dollars. Owned by the monolith corporation, it is at the mercy of Disney to develop it, as they hope to expand the universe. Where the Netflix universe is now gone, Disney have moved several post-MCU characters onto their own streaming service, Disney+. The question is,…
Will Birds of Prey save the DCEU?
After three films that crashed and burned before they could fly, DC need to keep momentum going. Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League flopped, only to be sandwiched between such greats as Wonder Woman, Shazam and Joker. It’s a coin toss to see whether DC will continue their universe as…
Under The Eye Of Heimdall: Assassin’s Creed Identity
There’s nothing better than finding a new game, and knowing that the next few hours will be full of Mountain Dew and sweating. Now I don’t have a console as they are too expensive, and so I mostly play games on my phone. Here I was scrolling through the app store looking fo a knock-off…
Who Is The Ultimate Trainer?
Throughout the games and the anime, we’ve been introduced to countless trainers, people who are challenging opponents (Red, Tobias) And others who are the equivalent to a bucket of piss (any female ally except Lillie (fight me)). The aim is to be the very best, but no answer has actually been given. And this is…
The Legend Of Vox Machina
Amazon Prime Video has been at the forefront of streaming, constantly going head to head with Netflix, and coming out alive. This time, it seems as if they’ve gone one better, with the announcement of a Critical Role animation series. Things just got awesome. Critical Role is a Dungeons and Dragons we show, that follows…
The Harls Of Fame
For the last week, my Twitter (@Asgard4N) has been swamped with Birds Of Preys ads, to the point of where I can’t wait for its release- just so it can stop. But it got me thinking; who is the best Harley Quinn? Which actor has nailed the character? And which left a bad taste in…
Why Ash Is The Very Best
The universal goal shared by Pokemon trainer is to be the very best, like many have ever been. The major point to cite is Ash Ketchum, the beloved protagonist of the anime. How ever many seasons of the anime there has been, he hasn’t ever completed his goal, until 2020, where it was proven that…
Ubisoft’s Revival
The biggest names in video gaming are surefire ways to get people to buy certain games; you can be certain that whatever Rockstar make next, it will sell like crazy. A developer that has not been as lucky with their games is Ubisoft, a name that strikes fear into anyone who plays video games. Things…
The Return: A D&D 5e Quest
In an attempt to pacify insatiable drive to finish a project, I wrote a quest within four parts, and have collated it now, including starter characters on D&D Beyond. It probably is suitable for Level 1-4. Enjoy. Note: It’s a good idea to read ahead, and allocate each character a reason for being on the…
How to build a Pokemon Team
SInce 1996, Pokemon has expanded across games, movies, animes and even trading cards. WIth the introduction of EV’s (and consequently their removal), competitive battling has grown, and it is getting harder to build the perfect team. But fear not; this article will explain everything you need for a competitive team. 1) A Pivot A pivot…
Why The Avengers Game Will Fail
When Triple AAA games have their release date pushed back, it certainly spells trouble. They usually are a up to three months for minor fixes and pure polish, but occasionally you get an four month push back that can make or break a game. Marvel seem to be attempting to venture into a large video…
Crisis: What The Cameo Means For The DCEU
One of the main surprises of CW’s Crisis On Infinite Earths was the cameo from Ezra Miller, the DCEU’s resident Flash. It was unexpected, as CW are set strict guidelines by DC, and was told that the DCEU will be separate. However, it seems that DC have changed their tune, offering a moment that changed…
The Curtain Call For Arrow
With Arrow having a mere two episodes to go, I started to think about the finale. It will be the final time we see most of the characters, a handful being carried over to Green Arrow and The Canaries and a few maybe being spread about. As a long-time follower of Arrow, it is the…
One Final Crisis
Crisis on Infinite Earths saw a complete transformation of the Arrowverse, one that will have lasting repercussions for the universe. The interesting part of the 5-hour crossover, was not the plot (was pretty cool), but what will happen after. About a week ago, I posted some show that I think they should do after Crisis….
Starter Quests For The New DM On The Block
Dungeons and Dragons is an extensive role playing game, that perfectly captures imagination. Led by the God-like Dungeon Master, you traverse several worlds, completing quests and levelling up. However, it can be difficult which quest to play, especially for new players. I’ve collected five quests, to be played in rapid succession, for the new DMs….
The Regions Ranked
The Pokemon franchise has grown exponentially, filling eight generations, twenty-plus seasons of an anime, a trading card game all from two measly games in 1996. Ever since the beginning, the aim to best your friends in a hardcore battle has only grown with the number of people who play it, and with EVs and IVs,…
What Isle of Armor DLC means for Dexit
Pokemon Sword and Shield was met with mixed reviews, with newer fans embracing a game focussed on developing the fanbase, and praising Gamefreak for the graphics. Despite the overall positivity from certain supporters, veteran gamers (or anyone who had played a Pokemon game before) took to forums to slate the so-called ‘Dexit’, the exit of…
The Hero Connection, My Hero Academia
Ever since the manga was released, My Hero Academia has only been growing in popularity, and after a successful anime, has introduced a wide roster of characters. With that said, I found myself rather disappointed at the lack of actual teams, considering that the League of Villains contains seemingly endless villains, something that no hero…
We Do We Want To Be, In This Post-Crisis World?
The fate of the Arrowverse is up in the air right now, and thanks to a month long hiatus, we only know what CW want us to. What will happen after to the iconic heroes is unknown, and apart from a few confirmations of new shows, it’s mostly speculation as to what will happen. One…
The Real Paragons Of The Crisis
Crisis On Infinite Earths is a week away from conclusion, and it’s been full of references and plot developments. Loosely based on the comic book storyline of the same name, it is the end of the multiverse seemingly. One of the biggest developments of the five hour event, was the Paragons, seven people from across…
The Batman in the DCEU
DC flushed Batman’s cinematic history down the toilet, so the history is up in the air. Ever since Robert Pattinson was cast as Batman, I’ve been thinking about where the Batman universe is going, and I’ve realised that there are plenty of cool Batman threads, that could all be tied up into a decent film,…
My Dreams for Flash Season Six and Crisis on Infinite Earths
Welcome to my ultimate Crisis on Infinite Earths combination. This is literally a combination of storylines, as the ultimate cultivation of the Arrowverse. Enjoy. This article was written in March 2019, on another blog. It has been transferred to this one for fresh content. Setting the Stage… The Flash Season 6 could focus on Barry’s…
The Legends’ Destiny
With Crisis on Infinite Earths drawing closer, and the fact I’m deliberately avoiding End Game spoilers, I posed the question to myself: What will happen to the people who die in Crisis? Could the lesser characters somehow survive, and spend their time fighting off Monitor, or dealing with future threats? I’m going to talk about…
The Elite: Pokemon Edition
With Pokemon Sword and Shield on it’s way, I decided that I’d talk about my favorite Pokemon, as it’s something I haven’t done before. So, if Pokemon’s not your thing, I don’t really know why you clicked onto this article, but here’s your chance to click off. This article was written in March 2019, on…
The Legion of Superheroes (and it’s future)
The Legion of Superheroes were quite important in Season 3 of Supergirl, and also are apparently important in the future. We know that the future doesn’t know about the past, and that’s why the Legion went back in time, and met Supergirl, and therefore Reign. Today, I thought I’d blog about the Legion, and who…
If Nora was the Reverse Flash
CW shows went on break for a few weeks, and after I actually watched the rest of Elseworlds, I decided that I’ll talk about the future of Season 5 of the Flash, and also Season Six. Hope you enjoy! This article was written in March 2019, on another blog. It has been transferred to this…
The First Appearance of the Rogues in CW
After Nora went into the negative Speed Force, in order to travel back to 2019 unnoticed, she came out all red, and with glowing eyes. About a week ago, I blogged that Nora could be the next Reverse Flash. Well,even though it hasn’t actually been confirmed, the next episode confirmed an iteration of the Rogues…
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Basics
Dungeons and Dragons is a complex game,that requires SEVEN DICE! It’s quite difficult to start playing without a player’s handbook, and so hopefully I can set that aside. So here’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Basics. This article was written in March 2019, on another blog. It has been transferred to this one for fresh content…
The Outcasts: Shadow of War
Shadows of War has been out for a while, and it seemingly says goodbye to Talion. However, I decided that I’d talk about what I’d like next from Shadows, and whether it would actually could spawn a sequel (I mean another one). This article was written in March 2019, on another blog. It has been…
Team XS (In the Future)
WIth the Flash’s Season 5 almost drawing to a close, and Nora ending up back in the future (still irked about that one), and the growing cast of characters over the years, I decided to go back in time, and decide the ultimate iteration of Team Flash. This article was written in March 2019, on…
Hitchhiker’s Guide to playing a pre-made Tiefling Rogue who swore her life to a Drow goddess.
Dungeons and Dragons has many races and classes, but it can be impossible to choose, or get a coherent guide that doesn’t mean you have to spend an hour reading up on absolutely EVERYTHING. This aims to give you the simplicity I didn’t have: Here’s Hitchhiker’s Guide To laying a character I made myself (that…
The Crisis with the DCEU
The DC Extended Universe sucked. Let’s be honest. Being frank, something has to be done. Although the film universe has had some rare gems, like Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam, it is swamped by the trash team up films, and therefore struggled to create a coherent universe. So, here’s how I would fix the DCEU.Merge…
If I were in charge of the X-Force
The X-Force are a somewhat overlooked team, with the last real mention being in Deadpool 2, but it was more of a jokey reference then an actual thing (considering that all the members died save two). I decided I’d put pen to paper (more like fingers to keys), and design my own team. Maybe I’ll…
Under the Eye of Heimdall: Avengers Endgame
Avengers:Endgame has been out for just over two weeks, and has raked in over $2 billion. The cultivation of 21 other films, the three-hour long finale gave us everything we needed. So here it is: Under the Eye of Heimdall: Avengers:Endgame. This article was written in March 2019, on another blog. It has been transferred…
The Ultimates in the MCU
The Avengers are Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and have defended the world through thick and thin. The MCU has shown this fantastically, and has given us amazing portrayals of some of our favourite characters. With so many heroes being introduced, I decided to give my Ultimate (hence the comic-book reference title) lineup. The maximum will be…
Hitchhiker’s Guide To Playing a Monk
Dungeons and Dragons has many races and classes, but it can be impossible to choose, or get a coherant guide that doesn’t mean you have to spend an hour reading up on absolutely EVERYTHING. This aims to give you the simplicity I didn’t have: Here’s Hitchhiker’s Guide To Playing Dungeons and Dragons. This article was…
The Must-Haves in a film that may not even happen
Avengers:Endgame shook the MCU, killing off two mainstays. Despite a heartfelt death, we know that the Black Widow will return, in her own solo film. The film will most likely be an origin story, and feature a few other known characters. Marvel have been dragging their heels on a Black Widow film, I decided I…
DC’s Doomsday Clock: And the Reason for Rebirth
After DC removed ten years from it’s history, we were left wondering who was responsible. After two years of deliberation, we finally have the answer. If your not familiar with Rebirth and it’s repercussions, I’ll fill you in. However, there will be spoilers of multiple DC titles .This article was written in March 2019, on…
Where do we go, now that they’re gone?
WIth Avengers:Endgame hitting cinemas, and tearing up the box office, the MCU could be be over, but let’s be honest: the MCU will live on. I did a prediction on what Marvel should do next. But hey, that was before Endgame. So where do we go, now that they’re gone? This article was written in…
The MCU’s Mighty Avengers
With Captain Marvel proving to be a box office hit, it also introduce a key character, that could lead a new iteration of the Avengers. In my ‘Next Steps for the MCU post’, I flirted with the idea of the Mighty Avengers. Well, here’s how the community’s Avengers could Assemble This article was written in…
Under the Eye of Heimdall: Flash Season Five
The Flash Season Five has ended, and after twenty-two episodes, it still leaves a lot to be desired. It deals with more time-travel, as the episode has two villains: Cicada and the Reverse Flash. Here’s what I think of Flash season Five. This article was written in March 2019, on another blog. It has been…
The Importance of Superheroes in Today’s Society
Superman, Shazam, Wonder Woman, (I choose to omit Batman as he is not a Superhero). Thor, Captain America, Hulk. These are just a few superheroes who make up a wide roster of fictional characters, pivotal to society. They provide hope for people, as well as an innovative outlet to spend time. So why are they…
How to be Fantastic…Once More
I talked about Fantastic Four movie in a previous blog, but eluded to say what the movie would need to do. It could be a launchpad for the next stage of the MCU, so here’s everything the Fantastic Four movie needs to do, to be fantastic.Cut the Origin story. This article was written in March…
Eberron’s Guide to D&D
Dungeons and Dragons is a pivotal game, exercising the exact fantasies that makes someone a nerd. The quests are developed and polished, but exist in a realm of continuity, making it hard to jump right in. In this blog, I’m going to try and explain Dungeons and Dragons, and the best tips to get playing….
Five Steps to Assemble Again
After ten years of solid storytelling, the Avengers franchise will conclude with the fourth entry: End Game. With sequels Spiderman:Far From Home, Black Panther 2 and Doctor Strange, being confirmed, as well as new films Black Widow, The Eternals and Shang-Chi joining the ever-growing list of Marvel films, the MCU isn’t officially ending. With that…
MetaTech: The Key to the Ultimate Villain
The Flash Season 5 introduced the fallout of ‘The Enlightenment’: MetaTech. Items fused with dark matter , that give anyone access to metahuman abilities. They have a somewhat backseat role, save from Cicada’s dagger, the single most overpowered item in the freaking TV show. The introduction of this technology has given birth to new villains…
