The fifth season of Jojo’s BIzarre Adventure, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind continues to hold up to the series’ history of showcasing extreme, yet compelling bits of weirdness for the audience. What new revelations are made about in as the show continues?
<
Bucciarati Is Coming
First off the first opening and closings are revealed for the new season. Fighting Gold by Coda is a pretty good song. Not the best opening which has come from the series overall but still very interesting with the visuals and the song itself. Still, more people are going to be drawn to the ending which is Freek’n You by Jodeci, which yes is the more noteworthy one because of its existing popularity. Also, the sexual lyrics and rhythm of the song seem to meld perfectly with the characters designs and eye catching poses the series is known for.
The fight between Giorno and Bruno helps to showcase their powers. Giorno’s Stand with its ability to give life almost seems to be a way to make up for the death and destruction his father Dio brought into this world. Bruno’s on the hand seems like another Okuyasu in the idea, “Terrifying and menacing when they first appear but will be barely useful as the season goes on.” Hopefully this won’t be the case as the idea of the Jojo of the series having one of the few Stands of worth for the season gets old fast.
Also, Giorno and his talk about wanting to become a Gang-star triggered an amusing joke regarding his ambition.
Meet the Gangster Behind The Wall
With Bruno vouching for him, Giorno gets a test to join the gang, Passione. First though, he has Giorno has to prove his worth to Jabba The Hutt’s italian cousin Pannacotta Fugo. Seriously this guy looks like the Blob from X-Men with a weird hat.
Unfortunately this test doesn’t result in the most thrilling of episodes. All Giorno has to do is keep the flame on a lighter lit for a full day. It becomes an episode where the tension comes from the odd situation which has been presented and the character having to make sure the entire thing doesn’t blow up in their face. An example of this happening previously was during Diamond is Unbreakable when Kira was trying to reclaim the severed human hand which was in someone else’s bag. The difference is Kira was trying to reclaim evidence which could implicate him of a murder and here, its a character trying to keep a flame from going out. Bizarre but not exactly as detrimental a situation.
The new season is off to a slow start and not exactly thrilling start. Sure second episode had a good fight but the third episode was less than interesting. Hopefully once all of the gang is assembled things will get into full gear.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wing is streaming on Crunchyrol.
BREAKING DOWN STAR WARS NEWS FROM WEEK 3, OCTOBER 2018. BECAUSE IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR, AWAY — THERE’S NEVER A DULL MOMENT.
After last weeks Star Wars news, this week might’ve seemed a bit on the slow side. But fear not, because we’re weeding through the clickbait rumors (wars) surrounding Episode IX and have updated information (including covers and synopsis’) for the Marvel Star Wars: Age of Republic comics.
Episode IX Clickbait Rumors
When the news is slow, rumors tend to spread like wildfire. In Star Wars news, it’s more like a thermal blast. Mark Hamill made headlines once again, only to be told what we already knew. He’ll be in Episode IX.
Snoke Rumors and Vader Comics

Snoke hit the backburner, although the discussion of him being a Force ghost continues. To clarify, some feel Snoke will be returning in Episode IX (either as a retcon to Johnsons TLJ or as a Force ghost). The most recent issue of Darth Vader #22 (written by Charles Soule and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncol), however, might have shed light on this subject.
In Darth Vader #22, more is revealed about the ancient Sith Lord Momin. In particular, how he was able to survive over thousands of years by attaching himself to a helmet. Something other Sith Lords have done in Star Wars history (Legends). But Lord Momin’s story is now Canon, leading many to speculate if Snoke had such a backup plan?
Isaac And “Looser” Statement
Oscar Isaac (the Peter Parker of Star Wars news) made a statement to IndieWire regarding how things are “looser” on set.
“The way they’ve been shooting it right now is looser than it’s been for the last two times.” It does feel like a relief to get on set and feel like, ‘Oh, we can try things.’ It’s a testament to J.J. coming back and feeling confident. There’s less pressure for it to be right. We just want to make a good movie and have a really good time while doing it.”
Some have associated “looser” with improvisation, but improv doesn’t necessarily mean jokes (as the crew on Collider’s Jedi Council recently brought up). In movies, there are multiple takes for every scene. One take may involve an actor deviating from the scripted lines because they feel something better fits the mood. It’s then up to the director and EP’s to decide whether the cut stays or goes.
Marvel’s Age Of Republic Comics
Marvel, Disney, and Lucasfilm recently announced the “Age Of” comics, which include Age of Republic, Age of Rebellion, and Age of Resistance. Each set will include characters from all three Star Wars trilogies, with Age of Republic being the first to hit shelves.
Launching in December 2018 will be Qui-Gon #1 (December 5th) and Darth Maul #1 (December 12th). Jody Houser is the writer for the Age of Republic series, along with Cory Smith and Luke Ross as the illustrators. Artists assigned to the covers include Paolo Rivera, Luke Ross, and Cory Smith.
Qui-Gon #1

In addition to a release date for Qui-Gon #1, Marvel Comics also released an official synopsis.
“Considered one of the greatest Jedi Knights or the one who led them to their doom, maverick Qui-Gon Jinn is one of Star Wars’ most controversial heroes. The Jedi Master is known to bend the rules and it’s gotten him into plenty of trouble with the council. Now, in the face of a mission that goes awry, he’s forced to confront his conflicting beliefs. What will Qui-Gon uncover about his loyalty to the Jedi vs his loyalty to the Force? Guest-starring Master Yoda!”
Darth Maul #1

Marvel provided a synopsis for Darth Maul #1, along with its release date.
“A living weapon of rage and bloodthirst, Darth Maul has stayed in the shadows of Coruscant waiting for his chance to strike against the Jedi Order! However, since tasting his first blood, the Sith Lord struggles to contain his desire for destruction and questions the wishes of his methodically plotting master. Could Maul have had another path in life, or was he always fated to follow a dark road? Guest-starring Darth Sidious!”
A concept variant cover will also be provided by Iain McCaig.
Other Star Wars News
In case you missed it, Jon Favreau is taking over on Instagram where Ron Howard left off on Twitter. Providing sneak peek images into The Mandalorian series, Favreau displayed a rifle and what many fans jokingly call the Star Wars ice maker.
The second episode of Star Wars Resistancemissed more than it hit, but we’ve got a new trailer showing what to expect in episode 3. Perhaps the series can, once again, find the magic displayed in episode 1.
Star Wars: Battlefront II announced this week the return of The Clone Wars voice actors as their characters get added to the game. EA is currently running a large-scale rollout for Battlefront II, although, many mechanical issues still plague it. The number of players also continues to decrease, making it difficult to play the lesser popular game modes like Ewok hunt and Blast.

The Curse of La Llorona stars Lisa Cardellini as a social worker and single mother who comes face-to-face with an evil spirit focused on snagging kids and otherwise torment the living. The Curse of La Llorona is set to terrify audiences on April 19, 2019.
About The Curse of the La Llorona
Official Description: Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm.
The Conjuring Universe or Conjure-verse adds a new layer of terror with The Curse of La Llorona. Tony Amendola plays Father Perez, reprising his role from Annabelle back in 2014. James Wan is a Producer here with Michael Chaves directing his first feature. Chaves is also in charge of steering The Conjuring 3 to completion, but that’s only in pre-production right now, so it’s still a year or two away. The film’s premise is loosely based on South American folklore and from the looks of things it’ll be pretty damn terrifying, albeit, with a title, many viewers will have trouble with. Yo-Ro-Nah.

Patricia Velásquez
Marisol Ramirez as La Llorona
Sean Patrick Thomas
Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen as Samantha
Roman Christou as Chris
Tony Amendola as Father Perez
DeLaRosa Rivera as David Garcia
Madeleine McGraw as April
The trailer forThe Curse of La Llorona is certainly effective and expertly done. Consider that a part of the trailer sets up the concept, but the main focus of it is in a car with two kids. And the scene plays out like a demented version of the moment in Jurassic Park with the two kids in the jeep. Only instead of a giant, roaring T-Rex, it’s some demonic woman with pale flesh and blood for tears. I think I’d take my chances with the T-Rex.

Last week’s Doctor Who episode, “The Woman Who Fell to Earth,” ended on a big cliffhanger. The episode saw the Doctor and her new companions floating in deep space in what is essentially a two-part episode. That story line is continued in this week’s episode, “The Ghost Monument.”
After last week’s events, The Doctor and her companions are rescued by two spaceships competing in a race to a planet that is out of orbit. On this lifeless planet The Doctor, her companions and the two pilots (Susan Lynch and Shaun Dooley) are tasked to complete the final leg of the race and find the titular Ghost Monument.
Clearly, the Doctor Who production team had a lot of money to spend for this episode. “The Ghost Monument” was mostly filmed on location in South Africa, and the CGI and special effects were really impressive for a show which has a weak reputation on that front. The spaceships were almost cinematic in quality, and the cinematography was of the highest order. The only weak part was one of the spaceships enters the planet’s atmosphere.
“The Ghost Monument” is a quest narrative where the Doctor and the companions have to go from A-to-B. This is unique in modern-Doctor Who where it is usually the Doctor comes to a location where trouble is happening, and he has to investigate what’s happening. The Doctor and the companions need to survive a hostile planet as they race to the monument.
The episode also had a Lovecraftian quality. The planet has the ruins of a civilization – there are buildings and boats but no signs of life. There are guard robots, and the water is filled with flesh-eating bacteria. It was wonderful for Doctor Who fans that like this type of fiction. When The Doctor finds records about what happened to the civilization, it reveals that “The Ghost Monument’s” ties to “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” were deeper than first thought. This scene was reminiscent to the scene in Lord of the Rings where Gandalf read the Dwarfs’ records in Moria.
The quest narrative allows for some character growth – although it’s the one-off characters, Angstrom and Epzo getting most of the attention. Angstrom was the richer character because she came from an impoverished planet and winning the race would be her ticket out, and she would be able to see her family again. Epzo was an arrogant rogue who does not play well with others.

That said, the Doctor Who mainstays do have a chance to shine as well. Whittaker impresses when she has a verbal sparring match with Epzo on his ship. This led to some of the episode’s wittiest moments. There was also some desperation in Whittaker’s Doctor towards the end of the episode, and there was a nice little touch when she says “Come to Daddy” because even she is unsure what prefixes she should use.
Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) show that despite not having advance educational backgrounds they are still logical when they are given a task by the Doctor. Yaz (Mandip Gill) got to reveal a bit about herself when speaking with Angstrom. Ryan had a fun moment when facing the robots, showing off his FPS skills.
Chris Chibnall is going for a back-to-basics approach – telling straightforward stories, and it acts as a good entry point for new audiences. There are no signs of an overarching storyline yet. Chibnall also has some fun twisting some tropes in the show like Graham asking how they can understand alien languages and they needed to be a different expectation since the companions haven’t entered the Tardis yet.
Chibnall’s Doctor Who reboot continues on a strong footing. “The Ghost Monument” is atmospheric and different enough to make it stand out because of its type of narrative and world building.
Novelist Nnedi Okorafor, artist Leonardo Romero, colorist Jordie Bellaire and cover artist Sam Spratt come together to give Shuri, Marvel’s breakout character from Black Panther, a powerful and gorgeous comic of her own.
The Black Panther has disappeared, lost on a mission in space. And in his absence, everyone’s looking at the next in line for the throne. But Shuri is happiest in a lab, surrounded by gadgets of her own creation. She’d rather be testing gauntlets than throwing them. But a nation without a leader is a vulnerable one — and Shuri may have to choose between Wakanda’s welfare and her own.
Shuri #1 Written by: Nnedi Okorafor Art by: Leonardo Romero Colors by: Jordie Bellaire Letters by: VC’s Joe Sabino Cover by: Sam Spratt
Writing
Right from the start, it’s obvious writer Nnedi Okrafor is a novelist. Shuri #1 starts with a lot of text, and although it’s heavy on exposition, the writing is so good and the voice of Shuri so assured, that it feels less expository and more like someone you know talking to you and not at you. It’s not an easy feat, but Okorafor executes it just about perfectly. This Shuri may be influenced by the one in the Black Panther movie (the humor, the intelligence, the relationship with her brother T’Challa will be instantly recognizable to fans of the film) but she still has aspects that are much more deeply connected to the comics, especially the deep and wonderful mythology of Wakanda. There is a spirituality to her here that wasn’t explored in the movie, and it adds so much to her character. Plus, it’s not alienating to casual fans. It’s the right balance for someone who loved her in the movie who is looking for something more. The whole comic has that introductory vibe. But there are still some deep cuts for Marvel heads in there. The mutant Manifold is literally in the opening pages, and any comic that references a Jonathan Hickman character is a comic for comic book fans. ‘Nuff said.
This book also really focuses on the women of Wakanda, and fans of both the movie the comics know how important that has always been. It’s great to see it be such a big part of what Okorafor is doing, and makes the book not only about Shuri but about the women of Wakanda as well. Fantastic.
Art
This comic is gorgeous. From the incredible cover by Sam Spratt to the elegant interior art by Leonardo Romero and the lush colors by Jordie Bellaire, this comic will knock you back with its visuals. The linework is crisp, the layouts are imaginative and inventive, and the pacing is fast when called for and pauses when it needs a moment to reflect. This is an art team working in optimum synchronicity. There is a standout sequence in the middle of the book that showcases Shuri testing some nanotech wings that is a show-stopping example of how to maximize comics storytelling on a single page. And a flash black sequence with Shuri and interrupting/saving T’Challa while he is training will leave you breathless with its use of color palette and negative/white space. This is some next level shit.
The Sam Spratt cover also has a life of it’s on its own. It’s the kind of image you want hanging on a wall on a fancy framed print. It’s more than a cover, it’s a literal work of art.
Conclusion
This series is off to a fantastic start. Shuri is such a great character, that it was about time she not only got her own book but one that is vital and important. That’s what Shuri #1 is and it’s a comic not to be missed.
If you are in your early 40s or quickly approaching, you are not prepared for what’s coming. This is the first generation where your 40s are different. There’s no loyalty anymore, so if you work at the same job for 20 years, there’s a good chance you’re getting fired because you earn too much. Couples are having kids later, so there’s no time for a mid-life crisis. If you’re divorced, dating in your 40s has to be a trainwreck? What’s the goal; second marriage, kids? Then there’s cancer, Cholesterol, heart attacks, and your parents. God forbid you’re a dreamer trying to find meaning in your life, because who’s got time for that? Retirement is getting closer than your High School glory days. Luckily, we have Nathan Fillion.
The Rookie hits ABC on October 16 and it’s a surprisingly powerful drama with a positive message. Fillion’s character John Nolan is going to get beaten down every day, but he’s going to get back up too. The setting for this ‘hero’s journey’ is the Los Angeles Police Department, and Nolan is one of three in his rookie class. This is where Alexi Hawley’s writing sets up more than your typical cop drama. Watching three rookies on his or journey is compelling because it gives every viewer someone to connect with. Fillion doesn’t have to carry the show on his own. Melissa O’Neil and Titus Makin balance out the rookie class. Richard T. Jones as Sergeant Wade Grey is the person that wants to see Nolan fail, and Sergeant Grey wants to make his life a living hell. The ‘Drill Sergeant’ is one the oldest tropes in cinema, but if Jones owns this role and takes it to another level, he elevates the series. The Rookie is only as good as Sergeant Grey, and if he pushes the envelope, the sky is the limit.
The pilot is the best parts of Training Day before Denzel goes crazy. There are emotional highs and lows and the viewer is part of the action the whole time. Liz Friedlander, who directed an episode of Jessica Jones, helms the pilot. She weaves the narrative well and gets the whole cast involved. Friedlander also reveals Hawley’s twist rather well, and sets up the series for the first season. The car chases and shoot-outs had a cinema-quality to them, which leads to an encapsulating experience.
Overall, The Rookie is a solid pilot that will get viewers to watch the second episode, but only time will tell if the show has heart or just an interesting premise.
Raven: Daughter of Darkness #9 is out next Wednesday, October 24th, and thanks to DC Comics, Monkeys Fighting Robots has an exclusive five-page preview for you.
The comic is written by Raven co-creator Marv Wolfman, drawn by Pop Mhan, colored by Lovern Kindzierski and Carrie Strachan, and lettered by Saida Temofonte. Julain Totino Tedesco did the cover.
Daughter of Darkness is a sequel to Wolfman’s 2016 series Raven. The preview below shows the young empath attempting to recruit Black Alice to her and Baron Winters’ “Night Force”. Mhan’s artwork, combined with Kindzerski and Stachan’s colors, creates an aura around the Shadow-Riders, generating a spooky vibe that’s perfect for this Halloween season. Temofonte’s letters also deserve mention. The way she bubbles Raven’s dialogue, you can perfectly hear Tara Strong’s monotone voice from the Teen Titans cartoon.
About the issue:
The hunt for the young arcanes gathers steam! Before they can bond as a team and find their strengths, Raven and Baron Winters’ new, young Night Force may be ground to dust under the hooves of the Shadow-Riders!
You can pre-order Daughter of Darkness volumes 1 & 2, or purchase its predecessor Raven, at these links:
The Kid Who Would Be King stars Louis Serkis as Alex, a typical nerd who gets beat up from time to time who happens upon a special sword that goes by the name of Excalibur. Pulling the sword out unleashes what looks to be a wild, medieval fantasy ride through our modern-day world. The Kid Who Would Be King and the hordes of evil arrives in theaters in 2019.
About The Kid Who Would Be King
Official Description: A band of kids embark on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace.
The film comes from writer/director Joe Cornish who wore these two hats once before back in 2011 to make the scifi-comedy Attack the Block. Along for the fantasy adventure is Patrick Stewart who plays the legendary wizard, Merlin. Our modern-day Arthur, called Alex, might look familiar. Actor Louis Serkis is the son of the one and only Andy Serkis. Alex isn’t alone in his crusade against evil, as he has a trusted group of fellow teenage heroes and there’s even a round table.
Louis Serkis as Alex
Dean Chaumoo as Bedders
Tom Taylor as Lance
Rhianna Doris as Kaye
Patrick Stewart as Merlin
Angus Imrie as young Merlin
Rebecca Ferguson as Morgana
Denise Gough as Alex’s mother
The trailer forThe Kid Who Would Be King looks like a fun mix of Harry Potter and Dungeons and Dragons. The burrito that wraps this flavorful mix is the King Arthur mythology which is severely underutilized in this age of endless reboots and remakes. And who can say no to Patrick Stewart in any role, let alone one of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time?

The Thirteenth Doctor proved her mettle in “The Ghost Monument.” In typical form, The Doctor uncovered the cause of a poisoned world’s demise, learned more about The Stenza — the aliens who beleaguered The Doctor in “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” — found her TARDIS, and managed to keep her new friends alive throughout it all. “The Ghost Monument” offered viewers a return to classic DOCTOR WHO themes accompanied by new faces and names. Surprisingly, for all the talk that this new interpretation of The Doctor would turn the series on its head, the first two episodes have proven quite faithful to the long-running show’s established themes. Viewers even got a rare glimpse of The Doctor’s preferred martial art, Venusian Aikido — sometimes called Venusian Karate — first displayed during The Third Doctor’s tenure in 1970’s “Inferno.”
DOCTOR WHO: Reviewing “The Ghost Monument” – A Bad Teleportation
Last week’s cliffhanger was quickly dealt with. Two ships rescue the unexpectedly orbiting quartet, and, though they’re temporarily separated, The Doctor reunites with her motley crew again once they reach the planet The Doctor had been trying to teleport to in the first place. Having traveled there to find her TARDIS, The Doctor gathers all the information she can to figure out her next steps.
It turns out that the teleportation didn’t go as bad as initially thought. The Doctor sent herself and her companions to the right spot, but the planet she was aiming for wasn’t where it should’ve been. She discovers that the planet they’re on, called “Desolation,” acts as the final leg in an intergalactic version of THE AMAZING RACE. She also learns that the final destination in this contest, in which only two contestants remain, is a unique site called the “ghost monument,” which turns out to be The Doctor’s missing TARDIS.
DOCTOR WHO: Reviewing “The Ghost Monument” – A Sight for Sore Eyes
The Doctor tells her companions that the race’s final destination is actually her ship, and the four new friends join the two racers in their journey across the plains of Desolation. The Doctor, typically poking her nose into just about everything she can, learns that the Stenza are responsible for the desolation of this planet. Desolation used to be home to some of the finest scientific minds in the galaxy. The Stenza imprisoned these scientists and charged them with creating increasingly powerful weapons for them, until these same weapons wiped the world’s population out.
Although robotic snipers played a part in this episode, the main cause for alarm was the presence of beings called “Remnants,” who were basically sentient sheets. The Remnants were originally meant as a kind of field medic to deal with the dead and wounded. After years of being imprisoned on Desolation, though, these sentient shrouds became violent, killing whomever they found. In addition to being sentient, the Remnants are also telepathic, and use their victims’ own fears and secrets against them.
DOCTOR WHO: Reviewing “The Ghost Monument” – Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
Making their way to the finish line, the six unlikely traveling companions are eventually overtaken by a group of angry Remnants. They taunt the travelers, making specific reference to “the timeless child,” whom the Remnants insinuate that The Doctor has forgotten. The Doctor is visibly shaken by this reference, but all that we fans can do is speculate and wait to find out who this telepathic sheet was talking about.
Distracted as she is, The Doctor manages to get Graham to incinerate the group of fear-mongering sheets with a self-lighting cigar.
DOCTOR WHO: Reviewing “The Ghost Monument” – TARDIS Reno
The Remnants dealt with, the group make their way to the site of the Ghost Monument. The two contestants agree to share their prize, but, with the race over, the Doctor and her friends are abandoned on Desolation. The Doctor despairs, telling her companions that they’ll all be dead before long. None of the humans believe it, though, standing firm in the face of nearly certain death. The Doctor takes some solace in this, but her reverie is interrupted by a familiar grating sound.
The TARDIS materializes about 100 meters away, and gladly receives The Doctor, even though she forgot her key. The Doctor grandly describes the TARDIS as her space and time ship, and takes her new TARDIS on its maiden voyage. Every new version of the TARDIS has something new to offer, though: much to The Doctor’s elation, this one makes custard creams for the hungry time traveler on the go.
DOCTOR WHO: Reviewing “The Ghost Monument” – Final Thoughts
The second episode in a new series is always a kind of proving ground for the new actors and the new writers. Although the actors are working hard, and well, to sell the new format, the writing hasn’t been quite up to par. The telepathic sheets and the tooth-faced aliens are interesting ideas, but execution has been a bit confusing.
The decision to include the Stenza as the cause of Desolation’s destruction helps set the Stenza up as a group of serious baddies, as did the female racer’s admission that her home planet was being cleansed by the Stenza, but it made for a confusing plot. I understand that Chris Chibnall and the other producers are working hard to set up their new ideas, but, even so, the Stenza don’t need to be responsible for every single intergalactic wrongdoing.
So far, I’m a bit concerned that the creative team are going to distance themselves from the established characters and aliens, preferring instead to re-invent the wheel. The Stenza are fine, but I want to see a Dalek or two before too many episodes have aired.
