00:00 - Intro

07:30 - Part 1 Pro

11:30 - Cons

14:52 - Overall 

Pro

Gameplay still holds up very well

Visuals look good (along with the soundtrack)

Multiplayer is good

Mouse mode is optional 

Cons

Andross doesn’t have the same scare factor as he did in the SNES & N64 version

No classic battle mode

I can’t shake the fact that this is the 3rd time that Star Fox 64 has been remastered/remake

The plot was interesting (Thorny doing what he can to stop Farva from marrying his sister)

There were some funny moments

Nice to see some throwback to Super Trooper 1

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Some of the jokes were a hit & miss

What I like (Fire Emblem Direct)

I like Fortuna’s Blessing (rewind time)

The World Map & Dungeon Delving part looks interesting 

Being able to play different characters in one playthrough is good

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Fire Emblem Direct)  

The Fortuna’s Blessing might be controversial to some

Tags for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #movie #moviereview #tvshow #tvshowreview #streaming #streamingnow #themightynein #spidermanbrandnewday 

Note to Parents: The Mighty Nien is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26453092/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew (The Mighty Nien) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26453092/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_at_pop_cst

Number of Episodes - 8

Runtime for each episode - 44 to 49 minutes

Note to Parents: Spider-Man Brand New Day is rated PG-13 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22084616/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22084616/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_at_pop_cst

12:10 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Spider-Man Brand New Day)

13:36 - Overall (Spider-Man Brand New Day)

What I like (The Mighty Nien)

I like that we have a bit more of a story behind these characters

Animations are good (with an Avatar vibe to it)

Fight sequences in the show are good

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (The Mighty Nien)

Don’t expect the same kind of comedy you got from Vox Machina

What I like (Spider-Man Brand New Day)

I was somewhat surprised how they handled The Punisher well in a PG-13 movie

Jean Grey being somewhat a villain in this was interesting

Seeing The Hulk, Punisher & Spider-Man all in the same scene was cool

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Spider-Man Brand New Day)

I’m a little mixed on the end credit scene

01:14 - Part 1 The Odyssey

03:14 - What I like (The Odyssey)

05:32 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (The Odyssey)

06:08 - Overall (The Odyssey)

08:16 - Part 2 Daredevil Born Again Season 2

10:28 - What I like (Daredevil Born Again)

12:20 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Daredevil Born Again)

14:08 - Overall (Daredevil Born Again)

What I like (The Odyssey)

Christopher Nolan's style still holds up

The battle of Troy & the conflict with the Cyclops (Laestrygonians) are some of my favorite scenes

Matt Damon did a good job playing Odysseus

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (The Odyssey)

The choice of music for the end credits seems odd

What I like (Daredevil Born Again)

I like the idea of Daredevil & Bullseye having to work together 

Nice to see Jessica Jones (and Luke Cage for a bit) make an appearance

I like some of the flashback scenes, like when Wilson Fisk was going to the art gallery, and Foggy Nelson appeared in a flashback scene

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Daredevil Born Again)

Some may not like how this season plays too close to current events

My review/thoughts on Disney+/Marvel Studios The Punisher: One Last Kill

Note to Parents: The Punisher: One Last Kill is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36042156/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36042156/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

Runtime for this movie: Around 51 minutes

00:00 - Intro

03:42 - What I like

07:14 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

08:46 - Overall 

What I like

Jon Bernthal does a good job playing Frank Castle/The Punisher

I like how the story has (sorta) 2 parts. One being Frank Castle/The Punisher PDST, while the other being Ma Gnucci (Judith Light) getting her revenge on what The Punisher did to her family 

Definitely pushes the TV-MA rating for this movie on Disney+ (still blows my mind that this is on Disney+)

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Outside of Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), don’t expect to see the cast of Daredevil (or Daredevil: Born Again) appear in this movie

I do wish the movie were longer

What I like (Star Fox)

Visually, the game looks good on the Switch 2 (despite some mixed responses to the character model)

Classic Star Fox gameplay returns

An optional control scheme this time around

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Star Fox)

Another remake of Star Fox 64

Part 4 FF7 Rebirth

Me playing the Demo - https://youtu.be/f_8pYS6QlTw

What I Like (FF7 Rebirth)

Like FF7 Remake, gameplay/combat is enjoyable

The game is running well on Switch 2 (even at 30fps)

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (FF7 Rebirth)

Although Switch 2 DLSS helps the visuals do take a hit (Some parts are ok, others are not)

Some pop in here and there

Pro

Visually, the game looks good (and the music is awesome)

Runs well at 60fps (120fps mode is available)

Gameplay still holds up (it also controls well, too)

Cons

The story is a hit and a miss.

Mix on the use of the Vi-O-La (the motorcycle) and the somewhat open world part

A lot of controversy on the amiibo for this game - https://www.ign.com/articles/metroid-prime-4-beyonds-30-amiibo-sparks-exclusive-bike-radio-backlash

My review/thoughts on season 1 of Disney+'s Wonder Man

Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #gaming #review #tvshow #tvshowreview #disneyplus  #marvelstudios #marvelcinematicuniverse #marveltelevision #mcu 

Note to Parents: Wonder Man is rated TV-14 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21066182/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21066182/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_at_pop_cst

Number of episodes - 8

Runtime for each episode - 30 to 32 minutes

00:00 - Intro

02:58 - What I like

05:54 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

07:30 - Overall

What I like

The concept is interesting (I like the indie vibe to the show)

Ben Kingsley still knocks it out as Trevor Slattery (so does Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams)

I like how we spent some brief moments with Simon's powers

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Mixed on episode 4 (Doorman)

Some may or may not like this approach for a Marvel Television show

My review/thoughts on the Super Mario Galaxy movie

Note to Parents: The Super Mario Galaxy movie is rated PG here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28650488/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28650488/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

Runtime for this movie - 1 hour & 38 minutes (98 minutes)

00:00 - Intro

05:12 - What I like 

09:48 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

11:40 - Overall 

What I like 

Tons of references to past Mario & Nintendo games

Glen Powell really knocks it out of the park as Fox McCloud

The Story (in my view) is definitely an improvement over the first film

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Don’t go into this movie expecting a deep, rich story

Feels like Fox McCloud didn’t get as much screen time compared to Donkey Kong did in the first film

I would have loved to see more of Wart (Luis Guzman)

00:00 - Intro

04:12 - Part 1 Pro

08:08 - Part 2 Cons  

12:42 - Overall 

Pro

Visuals & Gameplay still hold up well

The ability to use the Pro Controllers is nice (especially since you don’t need motion controls for some commands)

Finally, we get to play Mario Galaxy 2

Cons  

Mario Galaxy 2 difficulty could turn some folks away

Having to rest the pointer with the R button

Would have been nice to improve/update the camera in both games

Retains that Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom Visuals

Cons

Not much has changed from the past Hyrule Warriors game.s

My review/thoughts on season 3 of Spy X Family & season 2 of Amazon Prime Video Fallout

Tag for this video: #briansolow #tvshow #tvshowreview #spyxfamily #fallout #hulu #amazonprimevideo #review 

Note to Parents: Spy X Family is rated TV-PG here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13706018/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Spy X Family cast & crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13706018/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_at_pop_cst

Number of episodes (Spy X Family season 3) - 13

Runtime for each episode (Spy X Family season 3) - 24 Minutes

Note to Parents: Fallout is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12637874/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Fallout Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12637874/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

Number of episodes (Fallout season 2) - 8

Runtime for each episode (Fallout season 2) - Around 49 minutes to 1 hour

00:00 - Intro

01:12 - Part 1 Spy X Family season 3

02:08 - What I like (Spy X Family)

05:12 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Spy X Family)

07:14 - Overall (Spy X Family)

08:52 - Part 2 Fallout season 2

10:22 - What I like (Fallout)

13:18 - What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

16:06 - Overall (Fallout)

What I like (Spy X Family)

I like that we got to see a bit of Loid (aka Twilight) past (Episode 2 Avoid Getting Tonitrus Bolts & Episode 3 XXXX’s Memories)

I also like the bus jacking episode (Episode 7 The Red Circus & Episode 8 Take Down the Busjacker) & the situation with Wise agents' info almost getting out (Episode 11 Extreme Level 3 Situation & Episode 12 Battle to the Death in the Sewers) 

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Spy X Family)

Didn’t get to see much of Yor in action

I was somewhat hoping that a cliffhanger would happen at the end of season 3 (like Yuri finding out Twilight's identity)

What I like (Fallout)

I like the idea of Lucy & The Ghoul trying to work together

We finally got to see the NCR (New California Republic) & The Legion in action (love how they use Fallout New Vegas as the setting for season 2) 

I like the idea of the Brotherhood of Steel engaging in a civil war

What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Fallout)

I’m mixed on Macaulay Culkin's character, Lacerta Legate

I’m also mixed on the ending of season 2
