Echo Series Will Present Daredevil?

 After wrapping up the Hawkeye series a few days ago , Marvel still has a line-up of series that will air on the Disney+ streaming channel in the next few years, one of which is highly anticipated because it's intriguing is Maya Lopez's solo series, Echo . The series that will be part of Phase 4 of the MCU is still very minimal information, but after yesterday's Hawkeye ending , there are some signs that it might be used as the basic plot of the Echo series .



 

In the Hawkeye ending , after Clint Barton and Kate Bishop managed to defeat Kingpin and his Mafia Tracksuit, Echo is shown meeting Kingpin who was injured in the fight against Kate. At that point Echo already knew that it was Kingpin himself who had told the Ronin to kill his father. That's why Maya immediately pointed a gun at Kinpin's head, and when the camera was moving away, a gunshot sounded that made fans wonder if Kingpin was really dead.


Many believe that Kingpin is too strong to just die, because in Marvel Comics, Kingpin's story is far more dangerous than just being a mobster messing up Christmas Eve in New York City. On this basis, it is very likely that Kingpin will return in the upcoming Echo series . And not only that, his role could later lead to the emergence of the bravest superhero in the Marvel Universe. Who is he, and how did this happen? Let's talk about it, geeks.



 

Kingpin Is Not The Only New Character In The MCU

The actor playing Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, namely Vincent D'Onofrio, first appeared in the Netflix series Daredevil  which aired for three seasons in 2015-2018. Many fans consider the Daredevil  series to be the best non-Disney+ Marvel series to date. Therefore, many parties are pushing for the cast and characters to be "adopted" by Marvel Studios as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where it is actually realized.


In addition to Kingpin from D'Onofrio, there is one more Daredevil serial character who appears surprisingly in the MCU, namely Matt Murdock aka Daredevil himself, played by Charlie Cox. He recently appeared in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home to help Peter Parker (Tom Holland) escape the legal problems that ensnared him, after previously being accused of murdering Mysterio. His presence in the MCU invites many questions, one of the loudest is fan questions regarding when will Daredevil appear next?


Even though the plot of the Echo series is still being kept under wraps, the series is the perfect time for Daredevil to show off, showing how strong this Marvel character is expected to be the most daring. However, how he came to be and why he should appear in the Echo series ,  let's discuss it much more deeply below, geeks.


Echo History with Daredevil and Kingpin

Maybe what happened between Maya and Kingpin at the end of Hawkeye was the main plot capital of the Echo  series which was cleverly disguised by Marvel Studios. In Marvel Comics itself, there are comic pages that are similar to the ending scene, when Maya points a gun at Kingpin, after learning that her father died because he was killed by Kingpin's orders. Of course all these events are the end of a series of events that occurred in the comics.


In the comic Daredevil Vol. 2 (1998-2009), after Kingpin adopted Maya as his son, he financed all of Maya's education including dance and martial arts lessons. This was done as an effort to train Maya's photographic reflex skills that she had had since childhood, with the hope that when Maya grew up she would be ready to defeat Kingpin's mortal enemy, Daredevil. And sure enough, after Maya was ready, Kingpin slandered Daredevil that he was the one who had killed his father.


Maya, filled with vengeance, then looks for Daredevil to kill him. Their fight finally really happened in the comic Daredevil Vol. 2 #51 by David Mack and David Ross in 2001. After a fierce battle, you could even say Daredevil was beaten badly by Maya who has the ability to photographic reflex. Surprisingly when Daredevil's wound formed a "question mark", Maya began to calm down and read Daredevil's lips, considering Maya was a deaf person. And finally he knew, that Daredevil was the Matt Murdock he loved so much.



 

Daredevil explained that when his father died, he was still in elementary school. So, it was highly unlikely that he would have killed a grown man who at that time was Kingpin's confidant. Maya is shocked and finds out who the real killer is then immediately looks for Kingpin and shoots her adoptive father right in the head, leaving him covered in blood. However, at the end it is shown that Kingpin is not dead, Maya's shot only makes him blind.


Daredevil's Future in the MCU

The scene in the Daredevil  comic indicates that Kingpin in the Hawkeye series will also not just die. Because the scene when Maya shoots the gun is not shown, it might be the same as in Marvel Comics where Kingpin was only blind, or Maya didn't even shoot Kingpin at all because she couldn't bear to have her adoptive father. With this plot capital, Kingpin can return as a villain in the Echo series ,  as a father figure who is trying to find Maya to take revenge or just invite her back.


As we all know, Kingpin is a new MCU villain that has proven to be very strong. Even after being shot in the chest with an arrow, then being hit by a car and bouncing very far, and being hit by a bomb arrow that exploded right under his feet, he was still able to run away from the police and finally meet Maya. So it seems that Maya alone will not be able to stem Kinpin's power in the Echo series later, therefore she needs help to defeat him, and Daredevil is the right person for that.


Unlike in Marvel Comics, maybe Maya will just meet Matt Murdock aka Daredevil in her solo series later, fall in love with him and maybe fight each other too. However, in the end Maya, who has taken on the identity of Echo, will be surprised to find out Daredevil is Matt Murdock, just like in Marvel Comics. The two of them then share the goal of defeating Kingpin together, considering Daredevil is Kingpin's enemy who is always on his radar.



 

Even though Echo and Daredevil have teamed up, it's still uncertain whether the two of them can defeat Kingpin. Because besides being strong, Kingpin also has many subordinates and relationships, both in the underworld and in the New York City government. That's the discussion of why Daredevil can be present in the Echo series , and work together with Echo to defeat Kingpin. So far, Marvel hasn't announced when the Echo series will be released, so we'll just have to wait, geeks. What is clear is that if it really happened, the three of them would most likely be very epic.  

The Silent Sea: Exploring the Bloody Events of Balhae!

 Following the success of Squid Game and Hellbound,  The Silent Sea is a South Korean series that recently premiered on streaming giant Netflix. The series, directed by Choi Hang-yong, stars well-known actors such as Gong Yoo ( Train to Busan, Squid Game ) as Han Yoon-jae, Bae Doona ( Cloud Atlas, Sense8, Kingdom ) as Doctor Song Ji-an, and Lee Joon. (member of boy band MBLAQ) as Captain Ryoo Tae-seok.



 

The Silent Sea series was just released on Netflix on December 24 yesterday with a total of 8 episodes. The main premise is about events in the future, where planet Earth suffers from water and food shortages caused by a mass drought. To solve this, Han Yun-Jae was chosen for a team, including Song Ji-An (Bae Doo-Na), to take water samples from South Korea's old research station on the Moon, namely Balhae Station.


However, when the team entered the station, some big secrets began to be revealed, especially regarding the bloody events that had occurred at Balhae Station. What that bloody event was like, let's go deeper, geeks.



 

Balhae Station Closed

Apart from South Korea, actually due to a prolonged drought, various developed countries on Earth have also started looking for alternative resources in space, especially on the Moon. They believe that what the scientist Galileo said when he invented the telescope, about the dark spot of the Moon which contains a lot of water, is the only hope for humanity to solve the problem of drought on Earth.


In the process the various countries worked together to research the possibility of water on the Moon, and even set up their own space station. However, when they failed to find any sign of water, most of them returned all their scientists to Earth, except for South Korea. South Korea's last resort led by one of their scientists, Song Wonkyung (Song Ji-an's sister), found traces of water on the Moon which she called "Lunar Water".


As the only country to have discovered Lunar Water, Director Choi of the Space and Aeronautics Administration (SAA) believes that lunar water will provide many "benefits". For that they secretly started experimenting with the water at a research station they named Balhae. However, as explained by Dr. Song, Lunar Water molecules are different from Earth water, in that they contain some kind of mysterious space virus. This makes Lunar Water very dangerous if it touches a living host like humans.


Because of greed, in the end there was a leak at Balhae Station which caused a bloody tragedy five years ago, in which many scientists died after being exposed to Lunar Water. SAA then decided to close Balhae permanently. They lied to the world that they were forced to lock up their scientist because of a radiation leak, because basically the SAA didn't want their Lunar Water secret to be exposed.


The Mysterious Luna 073

After the bloody tragedy passed, SAA ordered space explorers to return to Balhae Station, take samples of Lunar Water for further investigation. Dr. Song believed that if Lunar Water touched a human and made it a host, then that person's internal organs would produce a lot of water, as if making the person "sink" and instantly cause death. Before dying, people who are stuck with Lunar Water will feel like seeing starfish around them and feel like they are drowning in the sea, before finally dying.


Although normal humans will die immediately if exposed to Lunar Water, but there is one human clone that is genetically modified to be able to adapt to Lunar Water, even to get super abilities from it. Before his death five years ago at Balhae Station, Song Wonkyung sent Dr. Song encrypted message telling him to find the clone, because she was the most extraordinary invention of his life, namely Luna 073.



 

And when Captain Han's crew with Dr. Song tries to sample Lunar Water at Balhae Station, they are attacked by a dangerous intruder. At one point in the series, Dr. Song learns that the intruder is Luna, which his sister, Song Wonkyung, has been trying to convey. In the end it was revealed that five years ago SAA actually carried out a forbidden experiment to make Lunar Water safe for humans, namely by forcing the Balhae scientists to carry out human trials.


However, because Wonkyung didn't want to harm innocent humans, he then experimented on cloning himself. After meeting 72 failures, finally the 73rd clone combined with fish DNA was proven to be able to adapt to Lunar Water. Thanks to the Lunar Water, Luna 073 gains self-healing abilities and is able to move very quickly. Dr. Song is aware that Luna 073 is Wonkyung's clone, he then wants to protect Luna from SAA and decides to save her at all costs.



 

The sinking of Balhae Station

In The Silent Sea Episode 5, Luna 073 is told to attack an astronaut whose blood is contaminated with Lunar Water. Human and plant blood at Balhae Station then causes the station to flood again in the secret storage unit. Captain Ryoo Tae-seok, who works for the resource mafia RX, ultimately betrays his own crew and steals a sample of Lunar Water. He purposely closed all the gates to trap Captain Han and the rest of the crew.


And when the astronauts tried to escape through the air vent, Ryoo activated the air purification system. When the Balhae station system tried to clear the secret storage unit which had been flooded with water, it brought Lunar Water into the ventilation hole instead. As Lunar Water exits Balhae Station, the low temperatures on the Moon's surface freeze the water in the sinkhole. This immediately prevented all Lunar Water at Balhae Station from escaping, flooding the entire station in no time.



 

That was the bloody event that happened at Balhae Station. The greed of the SAA five years ago, had made the only hope of humanity at that time shattered after the experiment began to spiral out of control. Fortunately Son Wonkyung's secret message to Dr. Song re-expressed this hope, even though he had to go through various harsh realities that one by one began to unfold and made several of Captain Han's crew fall.

Iron Man's sworn enemy to appear in the Ironheart Series?

 It's still clear in fans' memories when Tony Stark aka Iron Man made a heroic sacrifice to save the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Thanos and his troops in Avengers: Endgame (2019). Even though the MCU has entered a new saga with its Phase 4, many fans are wondering, who will be the successor to Iron Man. One of them that is often discussed by fans is a Marvel Comics character named Riri Williams aka Ironheart who will have his own solo series in the MCU.


Ironheart is an upcoming MCU series that will premiere on the Disney+ streaming channel. So far, it is not known what the plot of Ironheart  will be, given the distance that is quite far since Iron Man's death. The series will be hosted by Chinaka Hodge and stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams. Previously, it was reported that the Ironheart series would soon start shooting in April. Apart from the plot which is still kept secret, apart from Thorne, no other names have been revealed as actors in the series later.


Recently, ComicBook reported that one of the villains in the Ironheart series will be Obadiah Stane's son, Ezekiel “Zeke” Stane. Obadiah is the first MCU villain that Iron Man has to face in his first film which was released in 2008 ago. While Zeke Stane himself is a strong enemy of Iron Man who first appeared in 2008 in the comic The Order Vol. 2 #8 by Barry Kitson and Matt Fraction.


In his comics, Matt Fraction depicts Zeke as a businessman as well as an ideological terrorist who does not obey any laws and beliefs. Zeke has a goal that is quite strange, he doesn't want to kill Iron Man at all, but just wants to humiliate him and make Iron Man slump. Zeke is a Marvel villain who is very genius, at a young age he implanted a lot of technology in his body. Zeke deliberately did this to make him have super abilities, including healing factors and repulsors like Iron Man.


If true, Zeke Stane will be the villain Riri Williams has to deal with, it's pretty clear that Ironheart is meant to be the successor to Iron Man who both started their superhero career by fighting a Stane. So far, Marvel has not issued an official statement regarding Zeke's appearance in the Ironheart series . The series itself is expected to be released in 2023. Prior to that, Riri's character from Dominique Thorne will first appear in the film  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever  which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 11, 2022.

Film Review : Split

 Hello geeks, this is my first review on the greenscene review forum, hehe, I want to review a little about the Split film made by a director named M. Night Shyamalan. Who is Shyamalan? he is one of the iconic directors in Hollywood who consistently presents supernatural-themed films that are full of twists. There are many films from M. Night Shyamalan that the writer likes, such as The Sixth Sense. as well as the latest film Split.


This film tells of the terror experienced by three women namely Casey, Claire and Marcia when they were about to travel together. A foreign man named Kevin (James McAvoy is my favorite actor hehe..) suddenly drugged and kidnapped the three of them. Casey, Claire, and Marcia are finally locked in a room where it is located. The three girls panicked and tried to find a way out. However, their efforts are not easy because Kevin actually has 23 personalities that appear alternately. He can transform into a woman named Patricia, a child named Hedwig, and a grown man named Dennis. Each Kevin's personality has a different character where some of them can be dangerous and certainly make the situation tense.


Now what I want to emphasize when watching this film is a story that makes us pay more attention to the characters, not to find twists like other Shyamalan films. Through many flashbacks, the placement of which must be admitted, sometimes shakes faith, eh, that means focus, this film conditions us to see Kevin as an ordinary human being due to childhood trauma.


The point is, in my opinion, split is a successful comeback for Shyamalan. This director is able to raise the mysterious theme of multiple personalities in an interesting and tense manner throughout the film. The story is present like pieces full of puzzles even though the twists that are presented are not as many and surprising as the previous M. Night Shyamalan film.


Thanks Shyamalan, I hope you can continue to release more cool works for sure.

[MOVIE REVIEW] The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Imaginative & Inspirational Phrases From Ben Stiller

 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, maybe for some geeks this is a familiar movie title. The film was released on December 25, 2013 starring and directed by Ben Stiller. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a film wrapped in adventure, comedy and drama genres. Make it a suitable entertainment to be enjoyed with family, friends, spouses and friends on the sidelines of your busy life. This time, we will review the film 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', see more below.


The majority of us may think that Ben Stiller is 'only' a comedian actor who has succeeded by starring in various films, but what if Ben also sits in the director's chair? Some of the films that have been directed by himself include Reality Bites, The Cable Guy and Zoolander. he proved through the film Tropic Thunder comedy genre which is the highest grossing comedy film in 2008. But The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is probably his best work so far.


Geeks if you have read the synopsis of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you may assume that this film seems boring and ordinary. However, the director can package the film in a very epic way that can invite the audience to adventure, dream, and imagine with Walter Mitty so as to provide different emotions in each scene. On the other hand, the selection of each player is very in line with the storyline of this film and blends with the characters. In addition, Ben added an element of comedy adapted to the dramatic action which further strengthened the adventurous side of this film. Things like that make everything in this film an imprint on our minds as an 'inspirational & imaginative' film.


In terms of plot, this story, written by Steve Conrad, presents a simple story with a comfortable flow and unpredictable plot, but doesn't make the audience have to think hard. From here, you can see how Ben carries out his character as Walter Mitty. He was able to enrich the visuals and characterization of Walter Mitty. His character as someone who is boring and learns to get out of his comfort zone, Ben is able to portray from the way he communicates, body language, the look in his eyes and also the delivery of dialogue that makes this film come alive.


In addition, the cinematography in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty will spoil the visualization of the audience. Presenting a very beautiful view by applying very precise and amazing photography techniques and theories. It is not surprising that in this film visual is the main value. Coupled with the ultra wide-shot technique that shows the overall atmosphere in the film, it makes the actors look small, adding to the beauty of this film. And Stuart Dryburgh is the cinematographer, it's amazing, isn't it geeks?


Do not forget this film was added with a touch of advanced computerized CGI technology. In this film, CGI is used appropriately to realize Walter Mitty's wild imagination, his adventures and complete the cinematography which is so slick. Make the scene each scene runs nice and neat. Showing everything with the right composition details, it can be seen from the effects that are presented as if they are real.


Every adventure genre film will certainly feature a good location and maybe we've never seen it before, right geeks? The Secret Life of Walter Mitty will take us as if going into that place and make you want to immediately start traveling. By taking locations in various countries that are again showing their beauty. This certainly greatly affects all aspects presented in this film, including the effect on emotions, film nuances, visuals and characterization in each scene.


The selection of costumes is also one of the most influential aspects in a film, including this film. Here describes the characteristics of Walter Mitty through the style and color of his clothes. Such as shirts, jackets, sweaters, t-shirts and other properties that support the character played by Ben Stiller. These styles and colors indirectly manage to bring out the emotions, enthusiasm and boring nuances of Ben's life for the audience.


Then, this is the thing that completes all the aspects in it to be more perfect, namely the background music. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty provides a touch of music from Theodore Shapiro which makes all the elements in this film more emotional and even so comfortable to enjoy and every lyric is able to describe the atmosphere in each scene.


Overall starting from the director, writer, cast and all the crew involved were able to bring this story to life very well. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty managed to bring the audience to laugh, move and think about life, which is definitely inspiring. Geeks, for those of you who are feeling tired with your daily routine and confused about choosing a film? The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a very fitting choice, you don't have to think hard when watching it, just follow the plot until the end of the story, overall, the author's rating for this film is 8 out of a maximum value of 10.

Jurassic World Review: Fallen Kingdom: Gahar, Fun and Satisfying Veteran Fans

 When the film Jurassic World was announced in 2014, excitement and misgivings immediately erupted among “veteran” fans . Reasonable. Growing up and watching Michael Crichton's adaptation of the franchise  , of course they didn't want the fourth Jurassic film to disappoint them. Fortunately, when it was finally released on June 12, 2015, those worries turned into cracks of a smile.


Indeed, the overall film directed by Colin Trevorrow, is not as perfect as Jurassic Park (1993). But Jurassic World still displays the excitement and tension as when we watched the previous films. Seeing the success of the film, it is automatic once a sequel is produced.


Titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom , the film, now directed by JA Bayona ( The Impossible, A Monster Calls ), is set 3 years after the destruction of the entire Jurassic World theme park . After this event, all the remaining dinosaurs are now in danger of being destroyed by a volcanic eruption around the island of Isla Nublar. Now, it's up to Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) to save the dinosaurs from extinction. Will they succeed?


Overall, every action scene and every scene where Owen cs tries to avoid being chased by dinosaurs (whatever the type of dino is), is really exciting and tense. In fact, you could say, these scenes are much more tense than the first film. So tense, we feel like we are being targeted and chased too.


Of course, this aspect becomes "beautiful music" for both Jyrassic World fans and Jurassic Park fans . Because yes, this aspect is the signature for this franchise . And JA Bayona does a very, very good job.


However, Bayona is not the only one who has contributed. Composer Michael Giacchino, who returned to handle the scoring of this sequel, also had a big (in fact, very big) role in adding to the sense of tension that was felt. The combination of the two looks much more suitable than the Giacchino-Trevorrow combination.


While the action and suspense aspects shine through, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the plot and character development aspects. Even though it still makes sense and is easy to follow, for some reason, we feel normal with the plot that is presented. I don't know, maybe this is because we have often watched movies or played games with similar plots.


But calm down geeks . The problems in the plot department are nothing compared to the problems in the character development department shown in this film. Gokil Geeks . If given a scale of 1-10, you could say the character development in this film is only 2 or 3 out of 10. This is of course very unfortunate.


Especially in this sequel, there is a little girl character named Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) who has a very imaginative portion and plot background . Indeed, in the third round, his background was revealed. And yes, the disclosure is quite surprising. But because it focuses too much on the main plot, as a result the disclosure feels useless. Supposedly, if you want, this disclosure is expressed only in the third film later than the end i mpact obtained senendang audience is not as expected.


Since Jurassic Park , it is undeniable that Tyrannosaurus Rex aka T-Rex, is the most dangerous and feared dinosaur figure. As a result, it's no wonder this carnivorous dinosaur has become an icon of this franchise . It's not wrong. We, veteran fans , are also waiting for the arrival of this distinctive roaring dino.


But since Jurassic Park 3 (2001), you could say the presence of this dino is nothing more than a gimmick . And this impression is increasingly visible in this Fallen Kingdom . His presence in one or two scenes is "useful" and makes sense. But, as the scene progressed. It really seems that the reason this Gahar Dino is included is for commercial reasons only.


Even though as we know, the figure of "King Dino" in this sequel, is Indo Raptor. So yes, it should be, if you want him to be presented at the end, like in the first film, when T-Rex was only shown to kill Indominus Rex. Oh yes, by the way Indo Raptor. WOW Geeks ! all you can say, Indo Raptor >>>> Indominus Rex. Owen and Claire alone must use their wits to defeat this vicious dino.


In addition to the exciting action scenes, the amazing performances of all the actors are also a factor that successfully covers some of the shortcomings that have been mentioned previously. But of all the actors, no doubt , Chris Pratt, again the most shining. I don't know why, geeks . Pratt does look very natural when he plays Owen. Casual, cool, slengean but still cool at the same time.


His chemistry with his favorite dinosaurs, Blue and Howard, is only getting worse, especially with Blue, which is undeniable that the relationship between the two is very vital to the overall plot of this sequel. Seeing his gokil appearance, it is a pity that it was Alden Ehrenreich who was actually appointed as the young Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story instead of this 38 year old actor. Let's just pray, hopefully in the future he can become a substitute for other iconic Harrison Ford characters, you know who ( cue : fedora hat and whip).


Actually, when we watched The Fallen Kingdom , we felt that this sequel (although it was fun again), didn't need to be produced. Because it is a story and interest, this film does not really need to be made. But because it was scheduled as a trilogy PLUS seeing the aftermath of the ending of this film, we immediately changed our minds alias agreed that Jurassic World , indeed should be made as a trilogy.


As long as it's on a note, after the third film, which is scheduled to be released on June 11, 2021, this story must really be finished. Because if you don't, it will be very expensive. So geeks , for those of you who haven't watched, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is pretty much recommended. Especially if you're a veteran fan , you really must be a geeks .


Oh yeah, don't rush home, geeks . Because this film displays a post-credits scene that is quite interesting and can be used as a little clue as to how the state of the Jurassic universe will be in the upcoming third film.

Review of The Incredibles 2: Parr Family Still Super & Fantastic

 It can be said that the term “Long Gap” does not apply to the Pixar dictionary. As has been proven by Toy Story 3 (2010) , Monsters University (2013) and of course, Finding Dory (2016), the sequels which were released after 5 years of the original film, proved to be still able to maintain very good quality which as a result, make the audience not feel tired of the long pause. And the sequel to The Incredibles (2004), The Incredibles 2 , has yet again succeeded in proving that claim.


Yep, that's right, geeks . The sequel, which is directed by Brad Bird again and takes place right after the ending of the first film (yes, the film opens with a battle between the Parr VS The Underminer family), really makes our 14 years of waiting really pay off very sweetly.


Still Cool, Fun, Funny and Not Childish


And one of the main factors that makes this sequel still ridiculous, is that all the action scenes, dramas, well , basically everything still looks as exciting, cool and colorful as when watching the first film. Yep, once again, even the dramatic scenes don't make us bored and want to go back to watching the action scenes. In fact, if you want to compare it, it is the dramatic scene that becomes the "screen stealer ".


Neither the ideological conflict between Mr. Incredibles (Craig T. Nelson) with his wife, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) related to the " Super Relocation" program which makes them again have to "retire" while being superheroes, a slight gap between Incredibles and Elastigirl regarding the wife who is preferred to promote the elimination of the program that, until the whole family finally sees Jack-Jack's (Eli Fucile) superpowers for the first time, all of which are presented very clearly, to the point , entertaining, and not childish.


Yep. Not childish. You could say this factor has always been a plus for The Incredibles series and all Pixar films. Indeed, this film is targeted mostly at children and pre-teens automatically, the language of the script must be really easy to understand. However, that does not mean that the accompanying adult audience also feels childish.


In fact, when we watched the film, it was the small audience who immediately "checked out" when they saw the dramatic scenes. Because the problem shown in this film contains various kinds of metaphors as well as contemporary social moral messages that are really only understood by those who are adults.




All Characters That Are Still Funny & Gokil


Another factor here, too, is the characters who are still funny, gokil and steal the attention. Anyway, for those of us who have watched the first film, we feel like we are reunited with close friends/family we haven't seen in a long time.


And one more aspect regarding the characters that this sequel still maintains, is that none of the characters seem to really dominate. Indeed, Elastigirl in this sequel is the main highlight. But Mr. The Incredibles, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and even once again, Jack-Jack, also get an equally fair share.


Oh yes, speaking of Jack-Jack, you could say this super baby is the second character who shines after Elastigirl in this film. He really looks cute, innocent, adorable but still badass at the same time. Anyway, after seeing his figure, of course, those of us who already have babies, immediately want to pinch our children excitedly.


The Screen Slaver Motif is Weak and Very Generic


Unfortunately like its first film, The Incredibles 2 , it wasn't a completely perfect film. And again, the weakness lies in the villain department . If Syndrome (Jason Lee) was weak in the past, it was in the way he lost, then the weakness in Screen Slaver (Bill Wise) is in his motives and identity disclosure.


For the motive, it can be said that it is very generic and does not make us feel empathy and understanding towards him. This, of course, is very different from the previous Syndrome, whose motives are very relatable to all of us.


As for revealing who is behind this Screen Slaver mask, basically what we can say is, when you meet two of the many new characters in this film nearing Act 2, you can already guess that they are one of them and their reveal, only with a "reversal of logic" " just.


Beware of Potential Epilepsy When Watching the Movie!


Yep, that's right, geeks . As the name suggests, Screen Slaver, it's certain, this villain makes a lot of use of the monitor screen display which is really dazzling. Even in the scene where Elastigirl was fighting with herself, the screen display was truly dazzling. After watching it, we just got a little dizzy (yes, maybe it's because we sat in row D).


Therefore, we suggest for those of you who may have a little epilepsy or are easy to "vomit" with a glare, slightly lower your head or better to just skip watching the scene. Even some cinema chains in the US have issued warning circulars regarding this matter. So yeah, watch yourself geeks!


But apart from this and a few other shortcomings, overall , The Incredibles 2 , is a must watch for those of you who are animation fans and of course fans of the first film. Even if you haven't seen the first film, we think you'll still like it even though, you have to watch the first film before watching the sequel.


Seeing the success of this sequel, then yep, it seems we will be very ready and more than hype to watch Toy Story 4 which will be released on June 21, 2019. Although not necessarily, but it can be guaranteed that the fourth adventure of Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) will be very successful. Because yes, as stated earlier, long time gaps are not a problem at all for Hollywood's biggest animation studio.
