TV Show: The Boys

 

The Boys (Season 1, 2 & 3)

Quote: "When they're apart they're absolute fucking rubbish. But you put them together, they're the goddam fucking spice girls" 

Plot: A superheroes series, where the superheroes are not your good, kind and always helping hands but actually are corrupted jerks. 

My Personal Views: When you hear the word Superhero, you always imagine a good-natured guy who will always come to save the day. But this series shows you the face of your supes that you won't like at all or you never even imagined. 

If I have to use one word for the whole 3 seasoned series, it would be Badass. Oh, definitely badass. Each character is terribly badass. Let's be real, as much as you might hate Billy Butcher, you know he is a fucking badass. And, let's not forget our girls, Starlight & Kimiko. I mean that Season 2, last episode, catfight? I mean whattttttt....

That scene honestly left me speechless. See? That's what I like about this series, they don't show women as someone who should be kept safe or should be fantasized about, I mean, I love how the whole 'Girls are actually strong' is portrayed in the whole show. And thank god! They're not shown as weak girls who always need to be saved. On the contrary, Kimiko is shown to be the strongest amongst the boys (even though she is a supe) which I think is a first. 

Each character has their own story and their own demons to fight. I have a love-hate relationship with Billy Butcher. His sarcasm? Love it. The way he treats his pals? Hate it. You have to appreciate his sarcastic remarks, come on.  

Honestly saying, I did not think I would like it when I started seeing it because I did not even know what it was really about when I started it, but after seeing all of the seasons until now, let me tell you it was really amazing. Sure, it is very R-rated and has very disgusting scenes but eh, you gotta appreciate the plot though.

Anime Review: Naruto & Naruto Shippuden

You can probably say, there might not be even one weeb (someone who is obsessed with anime) who has not watched Naruto and not liked it. Naruto has its own quite a big fan following which makes it one of the best anime out there. If there is an anime that made western anime fans crazy after Dragon Ball Z then it is Naruto. Even though Naruto has tons of episodes, movies, and then a sequel (Naruto Shippuden), it doesn't make Naruto any less popular. If you liked watching Dragon Ball Z and might prefer ninjas in it then, Naruto is the perfect anime for you.

Naruto is the story of Naruto Uzumaki, who has the nine tails inside him and is a trouble maker who likes to play pranks on people just so that they would notice him, he has always led a life of loneliness. However, to prove to people that he is not a monster but can lead a path of good, he decides that he is going to be the Hokage- leader of the village. As he graduates from the ninja academy, he befriends Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who are also his teammates. From being a failure and being looked at as a monster to becoming the hero of his village, this is the story of Naruto Uzumaki. It is filled with challenges, you will laugh, cry, and curse and you will still love it.

Masashi Kishimoto- the writer of Naruto, has done his job perfectly in telling the story and filling it with characters that people can relate to with their own amazing background stories.

Coming to Naruto Shippuden- the sequel to Naruto, I personally feel like it is much better than Naruto. It might be because of the Akatsuki coming into light or one of my favorite arcs- the great ninja war arc. In Naruto Shippuden, Naruto has grown up and has become more powerful then the Akatsuki comes and the great ninja war happens. We also see many of our favorite characters dying, so it will be pretty much a mess of laughter and tears.

The action and combat done in the series are quite good as well. However, the thing I really enjoyed watching in this series is how many of the characters have been given importance and have their own arcs to show character development.

You should really check out Naruto if you haven't already as it has not only benefited itself but also paved the way for other anime like 'My Hero Academia'. To sum it all up, it is pretty much a good series and a pretty good storyline. If I would have to I would give it a 10/10.



 

TV Show: Supernatural Review

 

 

 Two brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester go on a road trip and hunt monsters, demons, ghosts, and more. The show simply shows the bonding and love between two brothers and their love for their family.

Supernatural has a total of 15 seasons, and you might think along these seasons the plot or the story might have become boring however that was not the case with Supernatural. The show did not only have good actors but the storyline remained as interesting and spell-bounding as it was from the start. 

 

 

Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles also did a fantastic job in playing their characters as Sam and Dean. And can we all agree that Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester is a dream? So much lore in the supernatural to explore and two attractive leads does make a good mix for a show and since it ran for 15 seasons straight, we can say it was a huge success.

The show began in 2005 and since then has gotten a whole amount of loyal fanbase. 

As per my experience with the show, I would say, I can never regret watching it. The jokes, the action, the Dean Winchester playlist, the Impala, and the supernatural folklores (that I had no idea about) were worth watching for me. Being someone, who likes these kinds of horror and action-packed shows, I can say I've become a Supernatural fan.

If I would have to rate the show, I would give it a 10/10. It's really worth a watch if you're a horror fanatic just like me, trust me.
