Stuff that's been happening

 Hi guys, sorry about the whole 'I'm back' post where I followed it up by not posting. I'm currently stuck in the living room as my sister has COVID-19 so she's currently occupying our room. Haven't been up to a whole lot recently to be honest, suffering in this room without my PC however. Here's some things of note though which are slightly interesting.

 

Marvel Stuff

So i'm a decent fan of the MCU and i've watched both of the most recent entries, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness as well as Moon Knight. Of the two I definitely prefer Moon Knight, I personally place it as the second best MCU Disney+ show just below Loki. I think overall it has the best and most confined story out of all of them, there's pretty much no loose ends and it doesn't setup other stuff which is what the other shows has annoyed me about. I also adore that it has a total of zero references to the wider MCU. The soundtrack is also pretty superb for the most part, the main theme and every variation of it are amazing, especially Constellation. Give Her a Call and Summon the Suit are also bangers. The one scene i've re-watched the most is towards the end of Episode 4 where Marc first enters the asylum. The soundtrack in that scene is amazing and i'm incredibly disappointed it isn't included in the soundtrack.

Multiverse of Madness was also pretty good, i'd give it a solid B. I did miss the first couple minutes which was something. Unfortunately the plot leaked a solid six months before so i'd pretty much already known everything that was going to happen, was still entertaining though. I thought the best part were the visuals by far, everything looked visually stunning almost the entire film. Scarlet Witch was both a little too weak while also facing characters that weren't the brighest. She's supposed to be capable of fully altering reality but spends most of her fights firing energy balls. Zzzzzz

 

Pokemon Go Shinies 

I was at university the other day, not doing what I was planning to do primarily because I forgot my earphones. I decided to open up Pokemon Go for the first time in awhile purely out of boredom and universities always have a lot to do in the game. One of the first things I did was click the completion button on one of the tasks I completed last time I played. I'm pretty sure it was one of the encounter rewards and surprisingly I was met with a shiny Bonsly. I believe it is my second shiny in the game and my third completely random shiny across all games. It was pouring this day so a Castform was on my map and I decided to catch it. Turns out it was also a shiny somehow, two shinies within three encounters. I couldn't believe my luck and I adore the shiny Castform since it's a perfect mix between green (my favourite colour) and blue. (Sorry for the awkward layout but I haven't found out how to place images next to each other on this site)
