Scoob! Review

Hi everyone. This review was requested by friend and supporter Alan Sebastian. He wanted me to review the movie Scoob, and even donated money to me so I could rent it and give it a watch. So, I gotta be honest, I am only a casual fan of Scooby Doo. I've only seen a few episodes of the TV shows and like one or two of the movies. From what I can tell, it's pretty formulaic. In each episode, mystery inc sets out to solve a mystery about a supernatural creature, some chase scenes ensue, and then they find out that the "monster" was really a person in disguise. All there is to it. So, when I heard about the newest iteration of Scooby doo, simple titled  Scoob, I was just like eh, that's cool. This is gonna exist. I wasn't too stoked to see it, but when I was requested to watch this movie, I of course gave it a watch. and now that I have seen it, what did I think?

Well, I'll be honest, I was kind of pleasantly surprised. Despite not being a big fan of Scooby Doo, I liked this film a lot. However, if you are expected the old traditional mysterious Scooby Doo, you will be really disappointed. This movie was more like an action and superheroes kind of movie. I'm guessing that since superheroes are really popular with the kids, they really wanted to make that kind of movie. But as a movie, I thought it was a pretty decent movie on its own merits. It had a really good message about how best friends should always stick together and never leave each other. So, with all that said, is it worth paying $20 to rent or $25 to buy? Ehh, not right now I would say. I would wait until it's cheaper to rent or until it hits streaming service, that is, unless you're a hardcore fan of Scooby Doo that must watch everything from Scooby Doo. So at the end of the day, it's a decent family film and it's pretty harmless. I would recommend watching it when it comes to streaming services or becomes cheaper in price. God bless!

Ranking the How To Train Your Dragon Franchise

 How to Train Your Dragon is one of my favorite movie franchises of all time next to Jurassic Park and Godzilla. The movies, shows, and short films are all just so amazing. I love dragons, but that's just the cherry on top. These movies are a spectacle of top notch animation and it also has really emotional and engaging storytelling and many memorable moments that make you want to revisit the land of Berk over and over again. However, how would I rank these films? Which are my least favorite and which do I consider the best of the best? That's what this carefully crafted ranking is for. Before I get into this list, this is only my silly opinion. If you don't agree with my list, that's okay. With that said, let's begin.  #11: Dragons Rescue Riders Let me make something clear. I think this is a good cartoon. It's different from the other How to train your dragon movies and shows, but that doesn't make it not good. This show is intended for preschoolers. This s

Otherkin: A Christian Examination

What I am going to talk about today is a very dangerous thing for me to talk about. I am putting my reputation on the line to talk about this because I fear that other Christians will call me a crazy person, a heretic, or worse. But this is something I feel pushed to talk about so that more people can know about it, and so I can be more honest with my audience. What I'm going to talk about today is a subculture on the internet known as Otherkin. What is Otherkin, you ask? Otherkins are people who personally identify as something other than human. There is a mixed bag of people in this subculture, each believing something different about what they believe themselves to be. Some believe their identity is genetic, some believe their identity is the result of reincarnation, some believe it is the result of species dysphoria, some believe it is through ancestry, and some believe it is just a metaphor. The creatures that otherkins like to identify themselves as are often creatures co

Steven Anderson's Heresy of "Easy Believism"

We really need to talk about a very serious issue. In case you don't know, I will be talking about a person named Steven Anderson who calls himself a pastor. You may have come across one of his sermons on YouTube or have watched one of the films he made. I'll admit that I was intrigued by Anderson's preaching at first. But then when I looked deeply into what he teaches, I found something very disturbing. And it's the fact that Anderson preaches that repenting of sins is not needed to be saved. This belief is known as "easy believism". And it's a modern day heresy that has been plaguing the Church. This heresy teaches that one only must accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and that nothing else is needed such as the repentance of sin. However,  nothing could be further from the truth. If you believe in Christ, repentance is very important. Faith is not a license to sin. First of all, I am not arguing that grace and faith alone isn't what sav
