A decision I've been making for quite some time....

First of all, before I make my decision, I want to talk about one thing I've noticed on the links I've been making on my Deviantart journals to these blogs. Every time I make a review on Thomas the Tank Engine, they seem to be the only ones to obtain comments. And whenever I review other things, like TUGS, Magic School Bus, or Kids Next Door, I barely get any comments on those blog links. Here's the question I want to ask. Is Thomas really the only thing you care about on my blog?

This has brought me to the decision I've been making. I have been thinking about retiring this blog. I barely get comments on my reviews, making it seem as though nobody is reading them. Also, I get exhausted when making reviews on various shows that require a load of pictures. And lately, I've been thinking this; doing reviews on this blog is a waste of time.

So yeah, I've been feeling this way lately, and I might want to retire this blog. Don't take it the wrong way, it's just how I feel now.

Plans for 2019

As far as my blog has gone, I have done heaps of reviews and countdowns and thoughts blogs. I've been reviewing blogs related to Thomas the Tank Engine. I've been reviewing most of the specials, and all The Railway Series books. I even talked about the outdated argument about Thomas and the Magic Railroad. (Really! It's been 18 years! Get over it!)

Alright. Here are my plans for 2019:

- I'll be doing more reviews on Thomas the Tank Engine. I sure won't be doing anymore Season 22 reviews, that's for sure. After that atrocity, Apology Impossible.

-
This is a possibility, but depending on how Season 23 of Thomas turns out, I don't know whether to review any aspect of it or not.

- I'll be continuing my reviews on TUGS. 

- On my Deviantart,  I'm planning to write more Codename Kids Next Door fan fictions in novel style. On my Deviantart and my Fanfiction. And I've been considering doing another Kids Next Door/Pokémon Crossover.  But it won't be a repeat of the one I did last year, but more or less like the one I did a few years ago. I'm baking up new ideas.

- I'm planning to do some parody chapter fan fictions. Of maybe Robotboy.

- I'll be writing more Thomas the Tank Engine fan fictions in novel style, after not writing any this year.

- On this blog, remember when I announced that I'd deleted my reviews on Codename Kids Next Door? Well, I'll be rereviewing the series.

Alright. Those are the plans I have so far for 2019. So until next year, farewell, Blogger!

No more reviews on this blog

To anyone who's reading this, this'll be my final blog post. I have run out of things to review and I have no business using this blog anymore. Besides, reviews and rankings are a waste of time, so I can't be bothered doing it.

And by the way, if anyone wants me to review anymore stuff, forget it, because I'm done. Looking back on my reviews, they were poorly written, poorly reviewed and I was being ultra biased towards the things I've been reviewing. So no more reviews on this blog. I'm finished! Goodbye, Blogger.........









Ah! Tricked you into thinking I wouldn't be using this blog anymore, huh? Just wanted to play a prank.

Besides, I've got plenty of reviews planned. Besides, I haven't reviewed the entirety of Thomas the Tank Engine Seasons 5-20, only some of those episodes I have reviewed, but I have reviewed the entirety of Seasons 1-4 and Season 21.

Plus, as you can see, I'm planning to review the entirety of The Magic School Bus TV show, especially since I've ranked all those main kids from my least favourite to most favourite, and stated my thoughts on the new series that's been streaming on Netflix as of September.

So overall, Happy April Fool's Easter!

All 9 Magic School Bus kids ranked

Thought I'd try doing something rather unusual, something as unusual as a certain review I did last month. This time, I'm going to do another blog post related to The Magic School Bus. And yes, I'm counting The Magic School Bus Rides Again in this. As I said, in spite of the fact that The Magic School Bus Rides Again was made 20 years after the original show ended, and the fact that it's co-produced by 9 Story instead of Nelvana, it's meant to continue the original show.

You may remember in my first blog post I made about The Magic School Bus, I was giving away my thoughts on The Magic School Bus Rides Again, and I explained that the reason I got into The Magic School Bus as a kid was because it's an anthropomorphic bus. However, this time, I'm going to do something none of you expected me to do.


I know this has been done a few times before over the last half decade or so by other people who grew up with the series, but since I've looked back on the original series and checked out the sequel, I've decided to rank all 9 of the main kids from The Magic School Bus from my least favourite to favourite. Why 9? Because Janet is actually in Miss Frizzle's class! No, she's still in a different class. Jyoti's in Miss Frizzle's class now, and she replaced Phoebe, but even so, I'm still including Phoebe since she was in Miss Frizzle's class in the original show and in the books.

First of all, I want to lay down some rules for this countdown.

1. There are no rules!
2. Liz is the class' pet chameleon, so don't expect her on this list.
3. Janet is in a different class and she only makes recurring appearances in both the original and the sequel because she's Arnold's cousin. So don't expect her on this list.
"You won't include me in this ranking list? Prove it!"

I am ready to take another chance, make more mistakes and get messier! So, step inside for another wilder ride and get ready to be Frizzled....again! Here is my ranking from my least favourite to most favourite of all the main kids from The Magic School Bus. Blog, do your stuff!


9. Tim.
Okay, I don't dislike Tim, but he's my least favourite main kid. The reason he's last is mainly to do with the fact he barely contributes anything to the show apart from his artistic skills and his "We've been Frizzled" catchphrase.


8. Keesha Franklin.
Keesha does get on some people's nerves sometimes, like arguing with them, even when they're trying to have fun. Her arguments with Ralphie about his wild imagination can get frustrating sometimes, but I do find them funny. But there are a few times where she does contribute stuff to the series, like her film about ants, and the food chain project she did with Arnold. Although she can sometimes be annoying whenever she says "Oh bad! Oh bad! Oh bad bad bad!"

Let's get the fact, a fun fact: Erica Luttrell, who voiced Keesha in the original show, also played Kara in Shining Time Station, the children's show that brought Thomas the Tank Engine to America, and is now the voice for Sapphire in Steven Universe. 


7. Jyoti Kaur.
Okay, Jyoti wasn't in the original Magic School Bus TV show or any of the original books, but she's a main kid in The Magic School Bus Rides Again, which, as I said, is intended to continue the original show, so she counts. I'll admit, she might seem like a Mary Sue to some, basically because she's a tech-wiz and doesn't reminisce about her old school like some other girl, but she does have some cool karate moves that she showed in Frizzle of the Future. Even if I can't see anything wrong with her apart from the fact she replaced Phoebe (not that I dislike Jyoti, as a matter of fact, I like her), Jyoti still needs getting used to.


6. Phoebe Terese.
She can be annoying to many, all because she would keep saying "At my old school,", but on the bright side, she does care about animals. She is a good role model for kids who want to look after animals like working in a zoo or working in a pet shelter, as she's a nature lover. Let's hope she appears in the 2nd season of The Magic School Bus Rides Again as a minor character like how Janet still appears every now and then. Also, Phoebe does have a handicapped dad. In which case, her dad is blind.


5. Arnold Matthew Perlstein.
What may be the surprise of the year, Arnold is in the middle of the list. The negative thing about Arnold is that whenever field trips go horribly wrong for him, he keeps wishing he'd "Stayed home today!", though I sometimes act like that whenever I go to places and things go wrong. Hmm... Phoebe going back to her old school in The Magic School Bus Rides Again makes me wonder why Arnold didn't get home schooled. The positive things about Arnold are how he's always self aware, and in The Busasaurus, he's shown to be braver than he's usually made out to be when he threatened to attack a T-rex who was going to eat the class. And in Gets Lost in Space, he was even brave enough to stand up to his stuck up cousin Janet to prove to her that Miss Frizzle is better than any other teacher.

What also makes The Magic School Bus Rides Again feel like the 5th season to the original show is the fact that Arnold still says "I knew I should've stayed home today!", but now he only says it every once in a while.

4. Wanda Li.
This girl is the definition of a tomboyish, energetic animal lover, basically Phoebe done better. I say animal lover because of Meets the Rot Squad, and because that's her extended persona in The Magic School Bus Rides Again due to her going to the pet shelter. Wanda's always eager to get the class going with "You weaselly wimps!", though she can be annoying to some with "What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?", but she does complain like that for the right reasons.


3. Ralphie Tennelli.
I was like Ralphie when I was a kid, always daydreaming and having a wild imagination, like how Ralphie has his superhero Weatherman and randomly believes in mythical creatures. And whenever I see something I don't think anyone else sees, I act like Ralphie with "Is it just me or...?" and I will admit, while his arguments with Keesha may be annoying to some, I do find them funny sometimes. I still relate to Ralphie in another way, I still have my head in the clouds.


2. Carlos Ramon.
He's so close to the top because he's so funny with his random lame puns. He seems to get it from his dad as shown in Going Batty. I especially liked his pun where he told Dorothy Ann "You were supposed to be Pluto! Arf, arf!" being a Disney reference, in Out of this World, and how everyone groans "Carlos!" every time he makes them. I can still relate to Carlos nowadays, making random puns when I try to be funny. And his arguments with Dorothy Ann and Keesha are funny too. Also, he has a handicapped brother named Mikey, in which case, Mikey is in a wheelchair.

It's very well done continuity that Carlos still makes puns every now and then, especially "Thanks for aspen!" in Pigs in the Wind and "Water we waiting for?" in 3-in-1.

However, the reason Carlos isn't number 1 is because no matter how funny his jokes and puns can be, some of them can be gross, like "It's a shortcut! Get it? Short cut?" in Inside Ralphie, and "It's snot!" "Not 'what', Arnold. 'Snot'!" in Makes a Stink. He's not as good as.....


1. Dorothy Ann.
What might shock some of you, Dorothy Ann is my favourite kid from The Magic School Bus. She's an inverted dumb blonde, in this case, she's a smart blonde. Even if she can annoy some with "According to my research," and her other book smarts, or nowadays, her computer smarts, you can get past that when you realise that almost everything she researches is also true in real life, after all, this is a series that's intended to teach kids about science. Why else is D.A. my favourite? She is cute in the following ways: Her designs and her voices. And yes, this applies to both her old design and her current design, and this applies to both the voice she had in the original show and the voice she has now. Her arguments with Carlos can be funny, like their argument about the colour made out of red and blue being violet or purple in Makes a Rainbow, and their argument when Carlos teased her with "According to my research Island" in Blows its Top. She was sweet on one occasion. In Cracks a Yolk, D.A., out of gratitude for hatching a new chick for Principal Rhule and for keeping her from getting into trouble with him, kissed Arnold, and how did Arnold react? He blushed. (and as I said in one of my countdown memes and in my controversy meme for this series, I ship the 2). D.A. is also an expert on stars.

It is also very good that Dorothy Ann still says "According to my research,", but now she pronounces it riːsərtʃ instead of rɪˈsərtʃ like she did originally.

So, Dorothy Ann is my favourite kid in The Magic School Bus. And this is a very reason I like her new design in the new series.

So there you go. That was my ranking of all the main kids from The Magic School Bus. Thought I'd join the bandwagon of ranking these kids from least favourite to most favourite, and good timing considering The Magic School Bus Rides Again's recent premiere.

Now I want to hear from you. Who's your favourite kid from The Magic School Bus? Feel free to tell me.

The Magic School Bus Rides Again: Thoughts

Thought I'd have a go at reviewing something rather unusual. Something no one expected me to do. This time, I'm going to state my thoughts on The Magic School Bus Rides Again. For those of you who don't know what this is, The Magic School Bus Rides Again is a new children's series on Netflix that serves as a continuation to the 1994-1997 educational children's series, The Magic School Bus. 

Now before I review The Magic School Bus Rides Again, let me stop and talk about my personal life with The Magic School Bus. 

I was first exposed to The Magic School Bus when I was in Kindergarten, through one of those old CD Rom games that taught me various things about science. I was also exposed to some of the books that the franchise started out as, and they helped me with science. And when I was in 1st grade, when I had to do science one day, there was a TV brought out, and guess what we watched that day, much to my puzzlement and surprise! That's right! An episode of The Magic School Bus, and that's how I found out there was a TV show about it. I tell you, it was like going on a field trip without actually going anywhere. And all thanks to this franchise, I've learned all kinds of science, from the Solar System and the Human Body to Dinosaurs and Ocean Wildlife. The main reason I got into The Magic School Bus was not because of its interesting diverse cast, the purpose of the series being to teach kids about science or because of its charming sense of humour, but because it's an anthropomorphic bus, and as a kid, I was always fond of kids' shows about anthropomorphic vehicles.

One evening, I was researching The Magic School Bus, only to find out that Netflix would be bringing it back for a new series. I was all "Please let this be a decent sequel or reboot!" "With Netflix?" "NO WAY!" "Aw!"



The real question is does this sequel series live up to its predecessor? Step inside for a wilder ride! So, get ready to be Frizzled! Here are my thoughts on The Magic School Bus Rides Again! Blog, do your stuff!

First of all, you might be asking me "Why are you calling this a sequel instead of a reboot?" Dorothy Ann. Do your research please.


Yes, Dorothy Ann, thank you. The Magic School Bus Rides Again, despite being made 20 years after the original show ended, is intended to be a sequel to the original show, a bit like Samurai Jack Season 5. Even though the characters and Bus look different, they're still the same, the class is the same (except for one kid who I'll get to later), the school's the same, and some elements of the original show are present in this; Like Ralphie's superhero Weatherman, Arnold's love of rocks, Arnold's big-headed showoff of a cousin Janet, Wanda's mum and little brother William, etc.

Let's move on to the theme song. It's a techno remix of the original Magic School Bus theme. It's sung by Lin Manuel-Miranda. The theme does sound alright. But it's not as catchy as the original theme song that was sung by Little Richard.

Let's go over to the character designs. I'm not too keen on the new designs for Tim, Carlos and Arnold. I'm fine with the new designs for Liz, Professor Valerie Frizzle (Who I'll get to later), Ralphie (even if he does look 6 now), Keesha (even if she does look a bit like Dora the Destroyer now) and Wanda (even if she's now just as tall if not taller than Carlos), and for some reason, I like the new design for Dorothy Ann.



Hmm....I wonder why they look different. Keesha. Will you sum up everything for us?


Excellent observation, Keesha! It's true. The original cartoon was co-produced by Nelvana, which followed the original books to an extent, while this sequel series is co-produced by 9 Story. I'm going to guess this is the reason the character designs are different. Of course the original show was supposed to be 3rd Grade while this sequel is supposed to be 5th Grade. 

Onto the teacher. The new teacher is Ms Frizzle's sister, Miss Frizzle. Yep, Miss Fiona Felicity Frizzle is the new teacher and voiced by Kate McKinnon. Lily Tomlin, who voiced Ms Valerie Felicity Frizzle in the original show, is reprising her voice and now her character is a professor. The "Is This The Magic School Bus? I want The Magic School Bus!" segments from the original show are still present, but the Producer is replaced with Professor Valerie Frizzle who is answering these phone calls now. She still gives out scientific facts. I think that's a nice touch.



Of course this sequel series touches on scientific facts the original show didn't touch on, like magnetism, climate change (one thing that's ultra important to learn now), electric energy, wind, water depths and the nervous system.

Now, there is only one major downside I have with this sequel series. 


Phoebe is nowhere to be seen in this sequel series. Reason? Because she was transferred back to Phoebe's Old School. I'm going to guess it's because she'd said "At my old school," so many times, they thought of transferring her back. Now something I don't understand. If Phoebe went back to her old school, probably because of how much she reminisced about it, then why didn't Arnold get home schooled? I'm asking because of how much he'd say "I should've stayed home today!" whenever something too scary, surreal or downright unpleasant would happen to him or is about to happen to him. Unless they wanted to keep the theme song in this sequel faithful to the original with "Please let this be a normal field trip!"

Now let's go over to Phoebe's replacement. Her name is Jyoti Kaur, who is an Indian-American. She's a very intelligent student and knows very much about technology and has even made a robot she named Naniben, which means "Little Sister" in Gujarati. She's a likable relate-able character, but the only other thing I can say about her is she's no Phoebe.



Let's also mention one thing about the characters' catchphrases. They still use their catchphrases, but now, only every once in a while. Arnold still says "I knew I should've stayed home today!", Dorothy Ann still says "According to my research," but now, she pronounces research /riːsərtʃ/ instead of /rɪˈsərtʃ/ as she did in the original show, Carlos still makes puns like "Thanks for aspen!" causing everyone to groan "Carlos!". 

Also, the characters still have their personality traits. Arnold's still the self-aware kid. Dorothy Ann's still the intelligent kid who does research, but now she uses a tablet instead of carrying books around considering how much technology has evolved. Carlos, as I said before, still cracks jokes and puns. Tim still draws pictures. Ralphie still daydreams. Keesha still practical. Wanda's still the tomboy. Liz is still the anthropomorphic non-speaking chameleon. Janet's still a stuck-up, probably even more so than she was originally. Also, Miss Fiona Frizzle is using traits her big sister used when she was teacher.

So what do I think of The Magic School Bus Rides Again as a whole? It's okay. Sure, the animation seems cheap, some of the character designs are off, Janet's more stuck-up than she was originally, and Phoebe isn't present, but overall it's a very harmless sequel. Today's kids will enjoy it, probably even more than the original show, considering they're into pretty much anything Flash animated nowadays and they will learn and be entertained by it. I will agree with many others who grew up with the original that the original's better, due to its semi-fluid animation, likable characters, charming surrealism, nice sense of humour and well executed science lessons, but the sequel's alright by me. See? My reason to prefer the original isn't even because of nostalgia!

So there you have it. Those are my thoughts on The Magic School Bus Rides Again so far. Just wanted to give away my opinion on it and I wanted to explain that I too prefer the original. If you're willing to go on a nostalgia trip (no pun intended), revisit the original Magic School Bus. If you're willing to step inside for a newer wilder ride, give The Magic School Bus Rides Again a try. If you have seen this sequel series, tell me your opinion on it. To me, it's harmless. At least it's the original class albeit Jyoti instead of Phoebe.

Top 11 stupidest Soccermum moments

Time I did another countdown list.




Folks, when you think of idiots, who do you think of?


Sarah Palin.

Okay....you're getting there. Now, here's my real question! Who is the dumbest person you know?

"ArthurEngine!"

Ha, ha, ha. Very funny.

Now, if there's anyone stupid I think of, who do I think of? The Soccermums! These hypocritical people will do anything to make our favourite things suffer! Whether it be TV shows, video games, snacks, music, you name it! Which is why I'm counting down the top 11 moments where soccermums were at their stupidest! Why Top 11? Because I am a rip off of the Nostalgia Critic! No. There are more than 10 moments I can think of, so this is a Top 11 list!

So, get ready to feel like you're Christopher Langan by comparison! Here are my Top 11 most moronic Soccermum moments!

11. The Silent Night Deadly Night controversy.

The reason this one is so low on the list is because it doesn't apply to me. Why? Because I'm not a fan of horror movies. But that doesn't mean it doesn't piss me off!

For those of you unaware of this controversy, in 1984, the slasher movie genre was at the height of its popularity, and a new one called Silent Night Deadly Night was about to get released. It's about a man who murders people while dressed up as Santa Claus. Here's where the Soccermums kick in! They boycotted every cinema that was showing this movie and tried to get it banned because they feared it was ruining Santa Claus for everyone and they feared that kids would run to them crying that they're scared of Santa Claus.

Wow, just shows that even stuff for adults aren't safe from these nutcases!

Alright, soccermums of the mid 1980s!

1. It's a horror movie! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FRIGHTENING! It's just the shots that are scaring your kids!
2. Just because you don't like the movie doesn't mean no one else likes it! Think about other people's needs besides your own!
3. It's a movie for adults. IT'S NO WAY INTENDED FOR KIDS! Do you want your kids to see this movie? No? Then don't let them see it! It's easier than 1-2-7!
4. Get it through your thick skulls! It's not Santa Claus who kills people! It's a guy DRESSED UP as Santa Claus! All you need to do is tell your kids that Santa Claus doesn't kill people!

But I'll let this one slide because this movie gained a cult following due to all the complaints it got.

10. Reactions to The Princess and the Frog.

Yet again, another one that doesn't apply to me because I haven't watched this movie, yet it still pisses me off!

In 2009, The Princess and the Frog was released into cinemas, and according to reviews on this film, one person wanted to give this movie an R-rating! Why? Because of the use of voodoo!

Ugh! Okay, the way I heard it, the villain of this movie uses voodoo! Why? Because he's a witchdoctor!

Now, just because it uses voodoo doesn't mean it needs an R-rating! I mean, there weren't any people who complained about the scary scenes in Pinocchio, Dumbo, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King or The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but they choose to hark on this film!

This moment can slide too because when this movie was released to DVD, it got a G-rating.

9. Joe Camel getting banned.

Once again, another one that doesn't apply to me because I don't smoke.

Let's get onto this. In the 1980s, Camel Cigarettes decided to make their own mascot known as Joe Camel to help promote their cigarettes for those who like to smoke.

However, soccermums complained to Camel and ordered them to ban this mascot! Why? Because he was, quote unquote, encouraging kids to smoke cigarettes!

Oh, so what they're trying to tell us is, just because he's a mascot means he caters to kids!

Okay, Soccermums of the 90s, get 2 things right!

1. Just because Joe Camel is a mascot doesn't mean he caters to kids!

2. Joe Camel or no Joe Camel, some kids are smoking cigarettes anyway!

Gee! I just don't understand people!

But like I said, I don't smoke, but if I did, I'd have broken every single box of Camel Cigarettes I found.

8. Michaelangelo getting his nunchucks taken away in the 1987-1996 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.

For those of you who don't know, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a franchise focused on 4 oversized turtles who fight bad guys using ninja weapons.

With how popular this show became, it eventually became a target for soccermums. They complained that Michaelangelo's nunchucks were too violent for a kids' show, so they were removed, getting replaced with a useless grappling hook.

Hold on! Let's look at the weapons these reptiles use!

Leonardo - 2 swords.
Donatello - Staff.
Raphael - 2 sais.
Michelangelo - 2 nunchucks.

So what they're trying to tell us is that

Swords - Safe.
Staffs - Safe.
Sais - Safe.
Nunchucks - Violent.

THIS IS FREAKING MORONIC!!!! I don't see the reason they had to complain! 90s soccermums, all you needed to do was tell your kids not to copy what they see!!!

But I'll let this one slide because in later adaptations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michelangelo got his nunchucks back! Ha!

7. Lord Zedd getting toned down on Power Rangers.

For those of you unaware, Power Rangers is a series of live action shows that use footage from Super Sentai, a Japanese sentai show. With how popular this show came, Saban decided to make up their own villain for the show, and Lord Zedd was born!

Eventually, soccermums complained that Lord Zedd was too evil for a kids' show, so Saban toned him down, eventually getting to the point of marrying Rita Repulsa.

Ugh! Soccermums of the 1990s, I'm not sure if you even realise, but LORD ZEDD IS A VILLAIN!!!! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE EVIL, YOU DOOFUSES!!! I've never known him to kill anyone! What did you expect him to do? Bake a cake for the Rangers?

Also, I don't understand why they thought he was too evil! The worst he did was yell at his troops! What do you lunatics have against shows that teach kids that evil is bad? Huh? Huh?

6. Parents trying to get Cap'n Crunch banned.

About a decade ago, parents complained to Quaker Oats about Cap'n Crunch and they tried to get it banned. Why? Because it's the unhealthiest cereal on the market! How is it the unhealthiest? Because it lacks nutrition.

Alright, parents! 3 things!

1. It's Quaker Oats' job to make kids want that cereal! Think about it!
2. Just because you don't like the cereal doesn't mean no one else likes it! The Earth revolves around the sun, NOT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! Sure, it's the unhealthiest cereal, but it's still a better breakfast for your kids than Cheetos!!!!
3. You're not supposed to try to ban what you don't want your kids to eat! You're supposed to be the parent and give your kids the big fat NO!

This one can slide because Quaker Oats didn't listen to these nutcases and came up with more brands for the cereal.


5. Trying to get Ronald McDonald banned.

A few years ago, parents complained to McDonald's and tried to get Ronald McDonald banned because they were worried that he may want to make their kids eat at McDonald's.

Ugh! Now we're getting to the really stupid stuff!

1. When I was a kid, I wouldn't go to McDonald's because of Ronald! I went to collect the toys they put in their Happy Meals! If Ronald was a toy in the Happy Meal, I would understand.
2. Why do you want to ban Ronald McDonald? He's a go-lucky clown who wants to spread smiles to every kid he meets!
3. If Ronald does make your kids want to eat at McDonald, big deal! That doesn't mean you have to take them there and get them food!!!! Duh! All you have to do is tell them the big fat NO!

Luckily, McDonald's didn't listen to these nutcases and Ronald is still spreading smiles wherever he goes.

4. The Game Corner getting removed from the Pokémon games.

There is a reason parents banned the Game Corner games from the Pokémon games. Because they were worried that it may encourage their kids to gamble.

Ugh! You moronic people! If these games supposedly make your kids want to gamble, big deal! That doesn't mean you have to take them to a casino or some other gambling place!

I just don't understand people!


3. Parents complaining about a gay couple in The Loud House.


For those of you who don't know what The Loud House is, The Loud House is Nickelodeon's newest cartoon about a boy named Lincoln who lives in a house with his many sisters. Funny thing is, all their names start with L and their surname is Loud.


Due to how popular this show got since its premiere a few months ago, it just became a target for soccermums. They're complaining about a gay couple.


*facepalm* You people!

Oh, so they're complaining about this show having a gay couple, yet they never complain about Jeff from Clarence having 2 mums?! Not like I want them to complain, but I'm calling out their hypocrisy! Just because it's a gay couple doesn't mean you have to get Nick to cancel this show! I just don't understand you people!


2. P.T. Boomer getting cut from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.


No! I'll never get over this! For those of you who don't know, Thomas and the Magic Railroad is a movie that crosses Thomas the Tank Engine with Shining Time Station. During the test screenings of this movie's original cut, parents and kids reacted to P.T. Boomer being to scary for kids. so Britt cut him out of the film in the final cut.


Parents, I'm not sure if any of you realise, but P.T. BOOMER IS A FREAKING VILLAIN!!!! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SCARY, YOU NO-BRAINS!!!!! Gee! I've never heard about him to be a murderer! The worst he planned to do was destroy Lady, not kill any people in general! Thanks to you, this movie failed in the box office!

Rest in Peace Doug Lennox, the one who played P.T.


1. The Derpy Hooves Controversy.


I'm not a brony, but when these nutcases attack a cartoon whether I like it or not, I see it as an act of war! For those of you who don't know, Derpy is a character from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic who was placed as a Where's Wally?-like cameo for fans. She's cross-eyed and crazy. However, she soon became a target for soccermums. They complained that her crossed eyes were offending mentally challenged people, so they ordered the animators to change her voice, change her name to "Ditzy" and to straighten her eyes.


*facepalm* AH! Nosebleed!


Why do you choose to hark on certain harmless cartoons? DERPY IS NOT OFFENSIVE!!!

They even complained that she contradicted friendship. How?!?


Alright, this is the one thing that REALLY pisses me off about this! Of all the things you soccermums choose to complain about, THIS is the harmless show you choose to hark on?!? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

You couldn't complain about Patrick Star? I think Patrick is more offensive to mentally challenged people than Derpy! You couldn't complain about The Problem Solverz causing seizures? You couldn't complain about Fred 3 teaching kids it's OK to blow up other people's properties with a bunch of fireworks AND GET OFF SCOT-FREE?!?!? I.......don't.....understand.....how.....you....people....THINK!!!!!!


Well there you have it. The moments where I felt that Soccermums were at their worst. Feel free to tell me your thoughts on my choices.

Top 8 Non-Thomas media that I'll never review

Alright, I'm revising this list from a Top 11 list down to a Top 8 list. Why? Because for some of my old choices, I've reconsidered and maybe I'll review them after all. Actually, one of my choices is too controversial and I just want to let out my anger about it.


(Yep, I'm still not putting the opinion disclaimer for this one. Why? Because you should all know by now that these are my opinions)


So, get ready to be desperate and throw pitch forks at me! Here are my Top 8 media I'll never review.


8. The Simpsons episodes: At Long Last Leave and Lisa Goes Gaga.

I put these 2 together because they have one thing in common. No, not solely the fact they're Season 23 episodes, but because many fans of The Simpsons consider them to be, as Comic Book Guy would say, Worst Episodes Ever!

Many loathe At Long Last Leave because The Simpsons are banned from Springfield for silly reasons. Not to mention, all of this in the 500th episode of the series.

More people despise Lisa Goes Gaga basically because it shows how badly Lisa was being neglected and who should come to her aid but Lady Gaga. Now, if you ask me, I don't like Lady Gaga's work, but I've nothing against her as a person.

Why won't I review these episodes? Because I'd have nothing new to add. Basically every review on either of these 2 episodes is the same thing. Once you've read/watched a negative review on either of these episodes, you've read them all.

Now, do I consider either of these to be the worst episode of The Simpsons? Nah. I still give that position to The Parent Rap!

7. Any media from Johnny Test.

Yes, now that we're done with the overhated stuff, let's move on to the overhated stuff! Yes, people hate Johnny Test more than Uncle Grandpa, Teen Titans Go!, Secret Mountain Fort Awesone, Out of Jimmy's Head,  The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange, The Problem Solverz, etc. Why? Well, some might say it's because it rips off Dexter's Laboratory. While this may be true, it's more of a genderbent version of Dexter's Laboratory.

If anyone wants my opinion on Johnny Test, I don't like it....at all, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Now, for those of you who are still complaining about this show, the show was cancelled on Christmas 2014.

See where I'm getting at? Reviewing this show would be pointless since I'd have nothing new to add.

6. Any episode of Pokémon.

Now we're at the repetitive stuff! The Pokémon anime is so repetitive, words can't describe it. Let me explain. Despite the image I chose for this section, I stopped watching this show way before Serena , Clemont and Bonnie joined in. Why? I will explain by saying why I'll never review any episode of this show.

The reason I will never review any episode of this anime is because doing so would be both pointless and exhausting.

Why would it be pointless? Because every episode of this show is the exact same story. Once you've watched an episode, you've watched 'em all. (No pun on the slogan intended) Not to mention the times Ash reaches the Pokémon League, and every time he gets there, (sans the Orange Island saga) he loses! That never changes either!

Why would it be exhausting you may ask? BECAUSE THERE'S OVER 900 EPISODES NOW!!!! Yes, this show has more episodes than Thomas the Tank Engine, Arthur, South Park, and 'eck! Even The Simpsons!
Also, when exactly did I stop watching this show? Well, I stopped watching at the end of the Sinnoh League Victors season. Why? Not just for the reasons I won't review any of these episodes, but because Ash lost in an extremely unfair battle in the Pokémon League with that cheater Tobias having a Darkrai and a Latios!

Plus, seeing so many Amourshipping pics and arguments these days make me glad I stopped watching this show! Also, when I look back on the episodes of this show I have watched, the songs are still amazing, the games are still great, but the episodes of this show? Even the Original Series? They're not really very good.

So, I'll never review this show full stop!

5. Any episode of Class of Three Thousand.

Yes, the show that supposedly replaced Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. However, I eventually learned that this show was going to premiere even if Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi didn't get cancelled. But this has nothing to with why I'll never review this show.


The reason I chose never to review this show is because I can't find the last few episodes on the web in English. See where I'm getting at? If I can't find all episodes of this show in English, I can't review the entire series!

4. Any game from the New Super Mario Bros. series.

Yes, now we're at the really repetitive stuff! The New Super Mario Bros. series is so repetitive, it would make the Pokémon anime feel all the more ashamed. All this game series is is Bowser Junior and/or the Koopalings kidnapping Peach, or Bowser trapping Peach in her castle, and the Mario Brothers, Mario and Luigi have to go rescue her.

So, all I'm saying about these games is that the title is misleading. There's nothing really "New" about them, so no reviews on these games from me!

3. Any sequel to The Land Before Time.

Yes, some of the direct-to-home video sequels that everyone hates. I seem to be one of the few who like these sequels. Mind you, I've only seen up to the 6th film, so I can't give away an opinion on the rest of the sequels.

There is one reason people don't like these sequels. It's because either the films are too cheery compared to the first film, which dealt with the issues of death, where Littlefoot's mum was killed by the evil Sharptooth.

Also, some don't like these sequels because some months before the first film was released theatrically, Judith Barsi, Ducky's original voice actress, was deliberately killed by her dad. What a cruel dad he was! I bet, if Judith and her mum were still alive today, Judith would never have let her dad see his grandchildren!

The real reason people don't like these sequels is because the characters sing from time to time. Let's look at it this way, some of the songs, such as Bad Luck, Standing Tough, Eggs, When You're Big, Big Water, Friends for Dinner, and It Takes All Sorts, are pretty catchy.

So, I don't feel like reviewing any of these movies.

2. Stop the Galactic Kids Next Door.

We now go from some hated Land Before Time media to a highly appreciated project from Codename Kids Next Door. Let me put it this way, I don't feel like reviewing this because it doesn't seem like the pitch will ever happen and even if it does, I still won't review it.


Now, let me explain what I don't like about this pitch. It fixed a lot of things in the KND franchise that weren't even broken to begin with. It turned Numbuh 74.239 and Lizzie into plant-like aliens in disguise, it turned Numbuh 1 evil, and turned the Galactic Kids Next Door into an evil organisation that destroys planets supposedly infested with adulthood. Also, I looked at Numbuh 1's design in this pitch, and what put me off is his awful sandals/boots/whatever they are.


Not to mention, it was confirming the story events of Operation: INTERVIEWS real. As I said in my review on that finale, I really don't like it. Sorry, fellow operatives. Nothing that can be said to make me like that.


There is one thing I did like about this pitch. Numbuh 4 whimpered to Numbuh 3 about Numbuh Vine. "She looked better as a plant." to which Lizzie responded "I HEARD THAT!" That gave me a good laugh!


So yeah, it's not worth me reviewing the Galactic Kids Next Door, even if it does pass up. Also, I'm never accepting this, Operation: INTERVIEWS or Operation: TREATY canon either. Sorry, fellow KND fans, but this is the way I feel.

1. Any video made by Benthelooney/PuffyZillaman4.

We now go from the most overrated Kids Next Door project to the most overhated internet reviewer. That's right, many people hate this reviewer for his rants on Family Guy, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Despicable Me, Pixar, the Dark Knight trilogy, etc. Although, I do agree with the haters about his Pixar and Dark Knight rants.

Now, for my opinion on this ranter: I don't hate him, but I don't like him either. He's more in between. Also, those rants I brought up were years ago! Get over them! He did change his opinions on Adventure Time and Regular Show later on and loved them, but now, he has no opinion on them anymore. Also, his Family Guy/Seth MacFarlene bashing is old news too. So, get over them.

Some people hate him because he consistently brought up My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, and they even say the latter is a mock to anime, even tough it's a tribute to anime.

Let me point this out to all you Ben haters, he is playing a character. If he isn't, then explain the annoying, arrogant Neb, and the crazy Looney T. Ben.

I will admit, not all of Ben's haters are like this. I will admit there are people who just hate this guy, but understand that there are people who do like him and don't attack those for liking him. So to those haters, I tip my hat to you.

Now, while Benthelooney does have flaws, (and for the record, I will only refer to him as "Benthelooney" or "PuffyZillaman4" NOT "BentheIdiot" or "BentheNostalgiatard", the latter is especially extremely immature) I don't think he deserves that much hate compared to most of his hatebase. Plus, I'll take a biased, annoying ranter over soccermums, abusive teachers, abusive cops and abusive parents any day!
