You Will Cry!!! 2018 part 2

I'm going to make you watch Solo: A Star Wars story and...Err yeah, that's the title and he made up his last name on the fly.

1. You will cry...That they recast Harrison Ford.

2. That they can't adapt the Han Solo Trilogy now that Rouge One rewrote the story of the theft of the Death Star plans.

3. That you didn't see Tag and Bink. 

Man, no one came to see Solo to see Han and Chewie, they came to Tag and Bink...if they ain't here, then what's the point of watching?

4. That Aurra Sing dies offscreen. 

What!? Great, 1st Ackbar dies now her. How can you kill off a popular character like that?

*Major major spoilers ahead. Skip to the next part if you don't want to be spoiled.*

5. That Maul is back from the dead with no explanation. Great, 1st Tseng in FF7: Advent Children, then Barricade and Wheelie randomly came back from dead from Transformers: The Last Knight and now this.

How are you alive? I watched Obi-wan sliced you in half in Phantom Menace and...Wait a minute, I actually seen Clone Wars and Rebels. So why am I writing this?

Note#1- There was some backlash that they recast Ford but the guy is in his 70s and this is a movie of his early adventures long before we saw him in Episode 4.

Heck, this isn't the first time that Ford was recast by younger actors. There was the Young Indiana Jones series where Indy is homeschool and traveling the world with his father and then his adventures in WWI. He meets many famous people from the early 20th century.

Note#2- I took a brief look at the summary of the Han Solo Trilogy. It was a trio of books from the pre-Disney Expanded Universe that told how Han meet Chewie and how he got involved with Jabba, Boba Fett, and Lando. One of them is Han's former love interest was part of the Rebels and one of the many people that helped get the Death Star plans to Leia's ship. With Disney rebooting everything outside of the movies, Rouge One ended up being the new story of how the Death Star plans got stolen.

Solo is not an adaptation of any of the Expanded Universe story. They may take certain material from the old timeline but it's not an adaptation.

Note#3-

Tag and Bink are a comical duo from a Star Wars comic miniseries. Their series isn't canon to the films nor to the expanded universe. Made by the same people who made the popular fanfilm, TROOPS.

They were two guys trying to survive and their meddling accidentally caused several events seen in the original trilogy. According to the comics, they are responsible for C-3P0 blowing up on Cloud City, the stormtroopers that didn't notice Kenobi powering down the tractor beam, and the death of "Many Bothams". 

There was a prequel of them accidentally deleting a planet from the Jedi archives and giving Anakin (bad) lines to court Padme.

They were going to be in Solo during a small scene but their scene was cut.

Note#4-"You're Tobias Beckett. You killed Aurra Sing."

"Pushed her. Pretty sure the fall killed her."

―Lando Calrissian and Tobias Beckett

Aurra is a bounty hunter that was 1st seen in the Phantom Menace for a full three seconds during the pod racing scene. Star Wars does have the habit of making photo shoots of every single background character and make action figures of them and I do mean every single character. She did appear later in books and comics and a recurring character in Clone Wars.

However in Solo, it's simply an implied death, meaning she may not be dead. Boba Fett went through worse and we actually saw his "death" onscreen and he ended up living.


*Warning!! Ending Spoilers* Skip to the next movie


Note#5- At the very end of the movie, the man whose secretly in charge of Crimson Dawn is Maul himself. This confused alot people because the last time most moviegoers saw him is when he got "killed" by Obi-Wan.

However in the TV show, Clone Wars, the end of season 4 revealed that Maul was alive.

He upgrade his robo-legs later on to look less robotic looking.

How exactly he cheated death was kinda laughable but some of the stories he appeared since his return were pretty epic. Unfortunately, Maul's fate was unresolved due to Clone Wars to be cancelled because of the Disney buyoff.(Which is uncancelled recently)

He appeared in Rebels that takes place a few years before A New Hope, meaning that the former Sith survived the Clone Wars and still alive.

While his survival from bisection was explained from the show, the problem is that most people didn't watch the show. Some people watch the movies and only them. You can't assume everyone is a hardcore fan of the franchise.

Even if characters like Boba Fett, General Grievous, or Saw Gerrera 1st appeared in animated shows, you weren't required to watch them, you can simply watch the movies to learn enough about them.

Here's the trailer if you want to see

I'm going to make you watch Ocean's 8 and you will cry that....Hey where's the backlash?

Note- Once upon a time, there was all-female reboot of Ghostbusters and well, the internet was not happy. I know next paragraph sounds all political and everyone has clashing views. I try to keep it neutral.

This wasn't the Ghostbusters 3 that people waited for years. Some people said the movie looked unfunny. Some people fired back at the people who disliked it and quickly claim they are male-chauvinist pigs. Also you should judge by a trailer alone. However some say that a bad movie is simply a bad movie, regardless if the cast is all female or not. Some say they are not against females treated more equally but they not happy seeing a feminist agenda being shoved over a good story.

However your entitled to see the 2016 reboot if you want. It may be the coolest thing ever and it blow the 2020 movie out of the water, or it be the lamest thing ever that makes the (other) Ghost Busters with the ape look like a masterpiece.

Anyways, back to Ocean's 8. I did not know this existed till I saw spotted a DVD display endcap at stores. I was like, "Did this get any backlash?". I admit, I never saw any of the Ocean movies. I remember they were big back in the day. This somehow avoided backlash because maybe it's because people didn't know about it? According to youtube comments, people are complaining so there is some level of backlash but not on the scale like Ghostbusters. The small amount of hate could be another reasons, this is a spinoff and not a reboot. Also, the Ocean movies may not have the same type of fanbase as Ghostbusters.

Here's the trailer if you want to watch

1. You will cry...When you see all the dinos that were left behind when the volcano erupted.

2. That Dr. Ian Malcolm and Dr. Henry Wu were barely in it.

3. That they still don't have feathers.

Note#1- Admit it, that scene really did got to you.

Note#2- I kinda had a feeling that Ian only had a small role and he's there for manly for fanservice and...No I'm not talking about that shirtless scene. Even in the trailers, you can tell he was mainly in the press meetings.

Dr. Henry Wu on the other hand, I expected he had a bigger role at least. He was a minor hi and bye character in the original movie but years later, he came back as a full fledged villain that help made the Indominus Rex to be way too powerful. I kinda guess he be back to make more trouble but all he did was make small appearances during auction scenes.

Note#3- Yes, I'm going to keep bringing up dinosaurs and feathers whenever I can.

Here's the trailer if you want to watch

You will cry...That this is the movie that ruined Justice League and it's all Tom Cruise's fault.

All because Henry Cavill was under contract to not shave his mustache. Now we got stuck with his CGI-ed upper lip. Thanks alot.

Here's a trailer of the movie

Speaking about DC...

1. I'm going to make you watch Teen Titans Go to the Movies.

2. You will cry...When you see Superman...Played by Nicholas Cage.

Note#1 -Once upon a time, there was a show in the mid-2000s called Teen Titans that was based on a group of the same name from DC comics. The show was popular and lasted a while. The show had a recent reboot called Teen Titans Go and it became the most hated thing in recent years. 

I never watch it other than a few minutes and it doesn't seem good. I don't pay attention what's on Cartoon Network nowdays but most of the time, when I'm browsing what's on, you see Teen Titans Go marathons on the channel. CN really really loves the show and wants to milk it dry. You literally can't watch anything else on the channel.

However from what I heard, the movie that's based on show wasn't bad actually and from what it sounds, it's better than the show itself. If you want to watch it, feel free to.

Note#2- Nicholas Cage as Superman is kinda the last person I expected to be cast. He tried to be him back in the 90s.

Look! It's bird. No it's a plane. NOOOO IT'S THE BEEEEES!!!! WAAHHH!!!! A B C D E F G....

Yes, this is real. When I first heard this, I was like, "Really?" Tim Burton try to make a movie based on the famous Death of Superman story but it didn't get made. However, Cage get to be Superman finally in Teen Titans Go and actually did a good job.

Here's the trailer

Yes, Slade at the end of the trailer made fun of the show itself.

1. You will cry...That all these years, the Predators didn't collect spines as trophies.

2. That the most powerful warrior on the planet is...A kid with autism.

3. That the Predators only came to the planet these past few decades because mankind is killing it with global warming, despite the fact they have an antique gun from centuries before car engines.

Note#1-Fans were not happy they rewrote years of Predator lore. According to it, they collect spines to gather DNA to create a super race of Predators.

Note#2- The movie is saying this kid with autism is the "strongest warrior" and the "next step in human evolution". The kid is smart and has gifts and stuff but it's just strange a predator movie is making a big deal about this kid. I feel like the movie is trying to go political on stuff it fully doesn't understand. Even people with autism felt offended by this.

Note#3- Again, the movie seriously pushing political messages that's poorly thought out that doesn't fit in the context of the world. It's true this came out before the new Prey movie on Hulu but even you ignore dozen EU comics, or AVP films that's all non-canon, the 2nd film ended with the main character getting antique gun as a reward from the Predators, meaning they been on Earth on several times before car engines. 

Here's the trailer

You will cry...That Spider-Man doesn't exist in the same world as Venom. What!? You can't have Venom without Spider-Man, how's that possible? I mean He's basically a evil counterpart of Spidey.

That be like Nemesis Prime without Optimus Prime. Vanitas without Ven. Liquid without Solid Snake. Reverse Flash without Flash. Mileena without Kitana. MechaGodzilla without Godzilla. Dark Link without Link. SA-X without Samus.

*Post-credits spoilers ahead*

That you don't see Carnage until the very last minute.

What!? 1st we don't have Spidey and now we don't see the 2nd famous symbiote in Marvel but we get some lesser known Riot.

Note#1- Venom started out as Peter Parker's alien black costume in the 80s but he casted it out and it soon bonded to Eddie Brock. He had a grudge against Pete for getting him fired and he joined with Venom for revenge.

Venom did had the memories and abilities of Spider-Man. He looked like a beefed up version of black suit Spider-Man.

Later on, they ended up become more like anti-heroes in the 90s. The movie skipped his connection to Spidey and go straight to Lethal Protector and Planets of Symbiotes stories.

It is a stand alone that simply wanted to focus on the popular character and didn't want to connect to Tom Holland's Spider-Man.(At the time I'm writing this)

Note#2- Carnage is a spawn of Venom that bonded to a serial character. He is far more evil that both Spidey and Venom have to face. Seems they are setting him up for the sequel.

Here's the trailer if you want to see

1. You will cry...That they are doing away of the video game characters.

Instead we get Disney Princesses. 

What!? I only know half these characters.

2. That they tease you with the scene of the exploding buddy and the trailer of Frozen 2.

Where was this scene?

Note#1- The 1st movie highly advertised their game characters. However they were mostly cameos and most of the movie focus on Ralph in original worlds. Even they were simply cameos, Ralph and the rest movie was pretty good on it's own and fun to watch. Even if they did away the game cameos in the 2nd movie is still enjoyable.

The trailers mostly focus Ralph and Vanellope exploring the internet and on the Disney princesses. I can imagine the people who mainly came to see the game characters were disappointed.

I did grew up seeing the Disney Renaissance movies at school when the teachers bring in the TVs and I watch several of the Disney shows but I didn't follow Disney completely as I got older. I can tell you most of the Disney movies I seen in the pass 10 years was mostly Toy Story(because I enjoyed the originals) and Wreck-It Ralph. I'm interested in seeing live-action Aladdin and Lion King but not interested in Dumbo.

Heck, I didn't watch Frozen till this past year and that's because I didn't want to be confused when I play Kingdom Hearts 3 on not knowing the plot or characters of Frozen and Kingdom Hearts itself is a very complicated game. So you can kinda see why some people were kinda disappointed they did away with video game characters.

Note#2- There was a scene in the trailers where Ralph entered a mobile game where he kept feeding a rabbit till it exploded. That was not seen in the entire movie but during the credits, it showed a girl in her car mentioning she enjoyed the movie but was disappointed a scene from the trailer wasn't in the movie, the very next scene showed the rabbit feeding part.

The post-credits said they are now showing a sneak peek of Frozen 2 and suddenly, it showed Ralph singing, Never Going To Give You Up. A song that became an internet meme to trick people.

Here's the trailer

1. You will cry...When you see Spider-Man...Played by Nicholas Cage.

2a. When you see Spider-Man, a fair-skin male...Played by a blond girl/Played by a Japanese girl. Oh great, it's bad enough to see an overweight loudmouth blond male in the 2014 Ninja Turtles film is played by Whoopi Goldburg somehow and now they changing Spider-Man. Also guess what, they also made Doctor Octopus into a woman.

2b. When you see Spider-Man...Played by a black guy.

2c. When you see Spider-Man...As a pig.

3. That Spider-Man dies early in the movie. What!? You can't kill off it's title character like that.

4.

• That you don't see the rocking mohawk wearing Spider-Punk.
• The man from the infamous Clone Saga, Scarlet Spider.
• Japanese Spider-Man who can summon giant mechas into battle to fight kaijus.
• Ghost Spider, the hybrid of Ghost Rider and Spider-Man
• Peter Parquagh from the Colonial era.
• May Parker, the daughter of an alternate Peter and MJ.
• Tobey Maguire/Andrew Garfield/PS4 Game/Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends/90s cartoon/Spectacular Cartoon/Ultimate Cartoon.

*Post Credits spoilers*

5. That you only see Spider-Man 2099 and 60s cartoon Spider-Man at the very last minute.

Note#1- I pretty much said the same thing earlier on this blog. However Spider-Man is suppose to be a teen/college kid, and Nicholas Cage far older. However he plays Spider-Man Noir who wasn't your typical Peter Parker. He was from alternate universe with a dark and gritty 1930s crime drama theme. I mainly said this to people just to hear their reactions, not knowing it's animated or he's playing a different Spider-Man all together.

Note#2- Casting a famous character as a different race or gender has been controversial choice. Some hate it, some don't mind it. I only say that Spider-Man is now a(black guy/woman/pig) only to see people's reactions. This is partly true in the movie. The thing is this movie is a multiversal crossover event that's based on a comic miniseries from 2014. Miles Morales is a guy in his universe who picks up the mantle after Peter Parker is killed. Gwen from her universe got bit by the radioactive spider instead of Parker and he died in her arms instead of her. Then you got all these other universes. 

And we also see Spider-Man's iconic nemesis as a woman. There was a twist midway in the movie that reveal this woman was this universe's version of Doc Ock. This is a different universe where they can play the rules differently without messing with the "main" universe.

Note#3- Peter Parker does dies early in the movie. The actual main character is really Miles Morales.

In the 2000s, there is series called Ultimate Spider-Man that retells the story of Spider-Man in another universe. At one point, they killed off Peter Parker and I don't mean he "died" and come back later, I mean he died for real. The series continued when Miles ended up getting bit from a radioactive spider and took the mantle. Meanwhile, the original Spider-Man from the original Marvel comics is still alive to this day.

The Peter that died early in the movie is based on the one who died while Peter we throughout most of the movie is more based on Earth 616/mainstream/the original guy himself who landed in Miles' world.

Note#4- Not every single version of Spider-Man couldn't make it. Marvel does like to make What If stories and look at alternate universes. Marvel did a storyline in 2014 called Spider-Verse that featured dozen versions of Spider-Man working together. Some were originally created for that storyline. The movie itself was loosely based on that.

Note#5- Spider-Man 2099 is a man named Miguel O'Hara from a futuristic world who is fuzed with spider DNA. He is one of the popular alternate incarnations of Spidey. He landed in the world of the 67 cartoon. The same cartoon that spawn hundreds of memes and has the famous catchy theme. Sadly, they only appeared in the post credits.

Here's the trailer

You will cry that they made a movie on some lame pathetic weakling.

I mean, look at this guy

Note- People who are only familiar with Aquaman from the show Superfriends see him as a joke and that his power is he talks to fish. However, through numerous comics and shows over the years, Aquaman was taken very seriously. Hopefully having a mainstream movie will put a stop to people calling the guy as a weakling. Saying he's lame after all these years is like saying Batman is still the same since his Adam West days.

Here's the trailer

1. You will cry...that the red white jet with red eyes, square black helmet...is not Starscream.

2. That Bumblebee lost his voice to Blitzwing, not Megatron. Meaning a good decade of Expanded Universe material is throw out of the window.

Great, It's bad enough that Disney got rid of several decades worth of Star Wars Expanded Universe stories, now I see this. Thanks alot Travis Knight, because of you, Transformers is Ruined Forever.


3. That Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are still not in it.

Man, no one came to see Transformers to see the Transformers, they came to see Shia and Megan. If they ain't here, than what's the point of watching?

4. That all the characters you actually recognized are in it for a few minutes.

OMG!!! It's Arcee and Cliffjumper and I can easily tell that's them. It's Shockwave and he actually sound like him. It's Starscream and a few of the Seekers and I see Acid Storm in the back. OMG!! It's Soundwave and Ravage and they have the iconic voice and...Wait...That's It?

Edit: turns out "Acid Storm" was Thrust. It was based on Thrust's Armada colors than G1

5. That's Barricade is not in it. Well if he's not in the movie, I can't make fun of him like usual.

6. That's a prequel to the 07 movie/a reboot/preboot/soft reboot/something.




Note#1- When the trailer 1st showed with the Transformers actually looking like their G1 counterparts. The last part of it showed what looked like Starscream but it was really Blitzwing.

Note#2-

Once upon a time, the Transformers movies had an "Expanded Universe". A collection of comics and books that take place before and between the movies. They were arguably better than the movies themselves. They did tell interesting stories, patched some plotholes, and actually made the movieverse... well coherent. Which is hard to believe when it comes to Michael Bay.

Well at least up to the 3rd movie.  The 4th and 5th films didn't get tie-in material for some reason. The 5th movie clashed with the already established material with Bumblebee being on Earth a far lot longer with him fighting Nazis.

One of the earliest expanded universe stories was that on Cybertron, Bumblebee launched the Allspark into space. Mad that he lost the ancient relic to help his cause, Megatron punished Bee by ripping out his voicebox. This story was carried over to later shows, Prime and Cyberverse. Wither it's a prequel or reboot, the film ignores one major moment from the expanded universe. However it would be silly to hold a grudge against this new movie that's actually better than what he had in the past over a comic from way back in 2007.

Note#3- There is a minority of people who are still upset that Shia and Megan are still not in the later movies. I seriously doubt a 30+ year franchise is going to revolved around these two actors. Also, the film takes place in the 80s. Both Sam and Mikaela were high schoolers in the 07 movie, you do the math why they physically can't be in the movie.

Note#4- Most of the characters seen on Cybertron were simply cameos and those scenes are from the post production stage.

Note#5- There were early rumors of that the evil cop car, Barricade was going to be in the movie and he did have a 80s police car toy for the Bumblebee movie. He had an interesting history in the film series of him randomly disappearing before the final battle or him dying and then he reappears in a later movie like nothing happen.

I joked in Bumblebee, he was going to be completely destroyed, only to be retroactively miraculously alive in the 07 movie. However he wasn't in it and considering the direction that the future of the live-action movies ends up, it doesn't matter anymore.

Note#6- The movie was originally conceived as a prequel to the 07 movie. In the early versions, Bumblebee been on Earth for some time. After he split from Hot Rod after fighting Nazis back in the 40s and Bee is the run from the army.

There was even a comic of Bumblebee in 60s in James Bond spy adventure theme. It showed the rivalry between Bee and Blitzwing that would concluded in the upcoming movie. 

Then reshoots happen and rewrote the opening of the movie. Bumblebee made his first ever landing on Earth in the 1980s. Starscream wasn't actively looking for Megatron and the Allspark and Soundwave was clearly on Cybertron rather than him on Earth, working with evil humans to help revive Sentinel. The prequel comic was clearly based on an early script but with all the reshoots, the comic itself ended up becoming incompatible with the movie it was promoting.

The movie ended up as a reboot of sorts. You can say it's like X-Men: First Class where it's both treated as a prequel and reboot. There were hints at the end that it's was originally going to be prequel with Bee taking a form of a 70s Camero as seen in the opening of the 07 movie and Megatron isn't present because he's frozen in ice for a century at Hoover Dam.

Also, that's suppose to be John Turturro in his younger days.

Here's the trailer

Dr. Who and the Daleks Review

I be reviewing the theatrically movie, Dr. Who and the Daleks.

Doctor Who is one of the longest running Sci-Fi shows that's been around since 1963. It was cancelled in 1989 but it was revived in 2005(aside from a brief TV movie in 1996). It's about a mysterious man called "The Doctor" who travels in a time machine disguised as a police box as he travels place to place to save the day.

The Doctor has many enemies like the Cybermen, The Master, Weeping Angels, Ice Warriors, but his most iconic of them is the Daleks. They are basically space nazis squids sealed inside a robotic cans armed with plungers. They 1st appeared in the very 2nd story ever. Originally, one of the creators of Doctor Who didn't want "Bug-eyed Monsters" but due to scripts not being ready during production, they had to use the only available script. It be hard to imagine Doctor Who today without the Daleks, or any monsters that the series is known for.

They may look laughable nowdays but in later stories, especially in the revived series made these creatures something you should take really seriously.

Throughout the 60s, Dalekmania has swept all of Britain. Kids were inside transportation buses were shouting, "Exterminate". There were toys, music, books, comics that featured the Daleks. Their popularity led them to go from one-shot villains to reappearing in later stories.

Two movies did came out based on the Doctor's early encounters with the Daleks. They are retellings of them and they are consider non-canon.

 Instead of hearing the iconic theme tune, it's some funky 60s music.

Peter Cushing is playing Dr. Who. He is known for the Hammer Horror movies as well as playing Grand Moff Tarkin, the man who blew up Princess Leia's homeworld.

Also in this movie, he is a regular human with his two granddaughters, Susan and Barbara. Also his last name really is Dr. Who, which means both his granddaughters have that weird surname too.

Dr. Who's personality comes off as a eccentric scientist. He seems more closer to Patrick Troughton's doctor than the original William Hartnell's and this was made a full year before the 1st ever regeneration was ever seen.

I'm going to explain the 1st team in the show.

The guy is the middle is the 1st incarnation of the Doctor himself. The two adults near him are school teachers, Ian and Barbara. They were from the present day and didn't believe the Doctor had a time machine but he forcefully abduct them just to prove a point.(Which sound out of character from today's point of view). The young girl in the right is the Doctor's very own granddaughter, Susan.

The Doctor having a granddaughter is kinda a shock to most people who started on revived series or any of the Classic series when it was airing in color. The Doctor was getting younger and younger in most of his later incarnations that he doesn't look like a grandfather-like character.

Another thing is the Doctor is seen as a sexless character in  in the Classic series, Revived series on the other hand...eh.

In the 2nd season, Susan fell in love with a guy and wanted to settle down, thus leaving the series. She was barely referenced afterwards after she left aside from guest appearing in 20th anniversary special, the Five Doctors.

Also Susan is the product of when the show was completely different concept all together. She left back when the Doctor was possibly a time-traveling human from the future. The Doctor being a two-hearted alien from the planet Gallifrey who can change his appearance when he is in a near-death state wasn't established till many years later.

Movie starts when it shows inside a house and it shows Susan reading this

 While the Doctor himself is reading...

While they are reading their books, Barbara is waiting on her boyfriend, Ian. Good gosh, I waited two long seasons for Ian and Barbara to finally became a official couple and it finally happen in a...umm non-canon adaptation. 

It was heavily hinted that there something between these two but nothing became official. They left the series with them finally return to their own time and they were very happily dancing on the streets together. They finally did became official in the actual Doctor Who canon 45 whole years later when Sarah Jane mentions these characters got married.

However you will quickly dislike Ian when you see how much a doofus Ian is in this.

Soon the family opens the door, he coming crashing into the cabinet.

While they are waiting on Barbara to come to the main room, Dr. Who shows Ian around and also show his latest invention, TARDIS. There is no "The" in it which sounds weird to not hear it. I had to hit backspace on this blog alot to remind myself the lack of "The".

Looks like junkyard with everything scattered and wires hanging out.

I prefer how it looked on the TV show at the time the movie was playing.

Dr. Who gives a lame excuse why TARDIS is bigger on the inside. It's made more sense an advanced civilization from a different time have a bigger on the inside police box but not but a modern day scientist who invented this in his backyard, no just no.

While they are having their tour of the place, Barbara joins them. Ian acts like an idiot of course and hits the controls of TARDIS. This sends them to another place

I hate this version of Ian. Instead of a being the cool action man of the group, he is a bumbling fool that trips over everything for the sake of comic relief. You wondered what Barbara sees in him?

The movie did compress alot stuff. 7 episdoes into a movie that's a little over an hour. It may cut down the padding but it also gets rid of some character development.

The gang arrived at this mysterious planet. Thanks to having a movie budget, the planet Skaro looks better here than it did in the episodes that 1st featured the Daleks.

They weren't limited to small set on a black and white TV. It has this cool dark alien atmosphere.

However the series had it's own charm with it be in black and white with little to no music that helps make the mysterious dead planet spooky. You can't get the best of two worlds.

Ian doesn't wasn't to explore and Susan call him off and calls him a coward. You tell him Susan. Gee, I wish your the actually canonical Susan.

She may of been unique and special among all the companions over the years due to her family connection to the Doctor but her actual character in the show itself, well she spent most of her time screaming in terror, freaking out, and being scared stiff. Even the actress herself was unhappy how she was written.

You somehow think a regular human child be the scaredy cat instead of a alien woman that resembles a teen who has been on several adventures in time and space before hanging at a school for a few months in 1963.

Movie Susan is far more cooler. She smart and brave and willing to help the others.

The gang explored the forest a bit. Susan must of gotten her big brains from her grandfather from a very young age and easily identify the scientific name of a flower.

However if they are on a alien planet, it wouldn't make sense she knows the name.

They find a petrified dead monster in the woods and Ian of course, trips over it and breaks it many pieces.

Yeah, that monster didn't serve a purpose, the story that the movie adapted from was guilty of the same thing.

A mysterious person touch Susan's shoulder. Instead of being frighted for a good ten minutes on the ships, and bringing it up time from time, movie Susan was more annoyed and curious and told the others at least once or twice. She saw a mysterious box full of vials at TARDIS' door laying there.

The Doctor sees a metal city in the distance but the others don't want to stay for long. The time traveler personally sabotage his own machine when no one was looking and says they have to find mercury fluid link to repair the ship. So they made a trip to the mysterious city.

Yeah, this is the problem of adapting one of the very earliest stories of Doctor Who. While he is closer to Troughton, his very early Hartnell shows in this one scene. The earliest stories of William Hartnell completely clashes how the 1st Doctor is in the later stories, let alone all of Doctor Who itself. I mean he almost crushed an innocent caveman's skull, threaten to throw out his companions out of airlock, smokes a pipe, and had a one-time love-interest before the Classic series turned him into a sexless character.

This is like the earliest Batman comics in the 1930s. Mr. Do Not Kill and Hates Guns is murdering criminals in cold blood with handguns where later stories want to pretend that didn't happen.

They arrived in the city. Instead of thin small corridors from the show, we got pink shower curtains as walls.

Dalek cameras are watching you

They split up to search the city. Ian being an idiot can't get a door to open, so he sits down on a stand. Door opens for him but soon he got up, it closes. He spends a whole minute siting down, running to the door, repeat, over and over. Would it not hurt to put a rock on the thing or something?

As they are exploring, Dr. Who openly admits his sabotage to the ship. They started to notice they are feeling weak and soon learn the whole planet is radioactive.

Finally the title villains make their grand entrance.

There is some differences from the show. Most of them come in different colors(decades before the New Dalek Paradigm). 90% of them have a grabber claw instead of a plunger. Sadly this removes some of the (unintentional) funny moments like watching them pass notes or them pressing buttons.

They disable Ian's legs by spraying mist on it. I don't know how that works?

Them spraying mist is stupid. Them shooting a laser and making the TV screens go negative colors to kill or disable their enemies seem more believable.

From what I read, they can't do the laser effects on film negatives and they wanted to show something physical. They wanted to show flame throwers originally but they think it would scare the children. *Roll Eyes* Oh please, the Daleks had flame throwers in season 3.

They get thrown in prison. They were asked if they were in league of the Thals, another native race of the planet that the Daleks are enemies of. The Daleks notice that the gang is bad weak from the radiation and wants one of the four to go back in the ship and look for anti-radiation gloves drugs.

Just to point out, the b&w episodes did their scenes in all in one take. It's like watching a stage play. However a character will fluff his lines. Hartnell was known for doing it every now and then.

Susan is sent out to retrieve the gloves drugs. She collected the drugs in TARDIS and at the door, she was greeted by a visitor.

A frozen blond Vulcan with eye makeup.

Actually it's a Thal. The storyline is that on the planet Skaro, Thals were at war with the Kaleds thousands of years ago and nuclear war happened. The war led to mutants being created. A mad scientist named Davros experimented on the mutant Kaleds and designed them to be the ultimate race as he put them in the ultimate mobile unit.

This was partly told from what the movie is adapted from. It was told in full in a 4th Doctor story, Genesis of the Daleks.

The movie at least tried to make the Thals look alien with their blueish skin and eye makeup.

In the TV show, they're simply blond aliens. I guess from 1963's point of view, you can pretend they have blueish skin since they don't reappear in color till nearly a whole decade later.

Also, I can't help but think of Raiden in the 2nd Mortal Kombat movie when I see the Thals in the TV show.

The Thal befriends Susan and tells her that he is the one who accidentally frighted her by touching her shoulder.(Would a simple hello be nice, good grief man.) He left behind the vials of anti-radiation gloves drugs to help them on this dangerous planet from eariler in story.

Susan heads back and gives the others the drugs. She tells them about the Thals while the Daleks are listening.

WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEEEEAAA!!!

The Dalek offers food and water to the prisoners and asked for Susan to write a letter to the Thals. The letter reads that the Daleks want to make peace and offer food. Of course this is a lie to make a trap but our heroes don't know that.

Daleks must love to collect lava lamps. They were a recent invention at the time.

The letter went back to the Thals and they plan to meet with the Daleks but they wonder if it's a trap.

Doctor and gang come with a plan to escape. Susan who still had the pen from writing the letter disables the camera. With no one listening, they mention they can feel static on the floors and says the Daleks can't leave the city at all since they rely on the static floors. obviously they got rid of that one weakness in every other story that came after. From what I heard, these Daleks were early prototypes that were forgotten while the "real" Daleks were already in space, creating their galaxy spanning empire.

When a Dalek came inside the prison room, the gang grab their alien pudding or whatever the Daleks gave them earlier and slam it on it's eyestalk, blinding the Dalek. They push the Dalek to roll into a cape laying on the floor and the thing went disabled.

They grab the squid out of the canister and Ian hopped in. They pretended to be escorted out of the prison.

They doesn't look like a squid's hand.

The Daleks soon found out and blasted Ian.

Good riddance.

Nah, he actually survived as they escaped the city.

Daleks like to collect giant legos.

The Thals went inside the city to check if the peace offering is real. As they were entering, there is a long drawn out shot that last a few seconds. Gee, get to the point.

Then several of them gang up one of them and he got fire extinguisher to death. Such a sad fate.

The gang realized they left the mercury fluid link back at the city. They tell the pacifist race to go back to their pre-nuclear war days and be warriors and let themselves get killed, all for sake of some fluid link for people they only knew for a few days.

The show was better addressing this topic. They know they are trapped on the planet and say is it wrong to make a pacifist race get killed over some fluid. They also mention the Daleks may go over their floor weakness and kill everything, meaning the blond makeup Vulcans have to fight the Daleks for survival.

Ian forcefully takes one of the female Thals and her boyfriend punchs Ian. You go dude. However that was planned to see if the Thals have some fight within themselves. They changed their minds and decided to join.

Ian, Barbara, and a few Thals plan to sneak in the back way into the city. They pass a swamp and one of them got swallowed up by an unseen creature. Maybe it's the same thing that nearly drowned Frodo in the 2nd LOTR movie.

Ian complained about climbing up a mountain. Gee, your a wuss.

This guy fought Romans, Aztecs, survived the Reign of Terror, was knighted by King Richard I during the Crusades. How can that loser is based on this guy?

Anyways, they enter cave, jump ravine, and enter the backdoor to Dalek hideout.

The movie obviously is compressing this part of the story more so than any other part of the original Dalek story. Them sneaking around the swamp was half an episode. The gang inside the cave took entire episode itself. Also to point out, one of the random Thals survived in this adaption rather than falling to his death.

The Daleks tested the anti-radiation gloves drugs on themselves and it went haywire because it was poison to them. They decided to fire a neutron bomb on the planet to wipe out all species of the planet. Oh and they do a 100-second countdown where they shout every single second.

Yes they are using the Nazi salute with their plungers.

Well least they ain't using cardbored cutouts for all the extras. 

The Doctor tries to make cakes and burns them.

Dr. Who notice one of the female Thals looking at a mirror.

For of medieval civilization, them acting like beauty models seems a bit silly.

Dr. Who comes with a plan and grabs all the mirrors they have. They go to the Dalek city and shine light with hundreds of mirrors all over the entrance of the city which mess with the tincan's sensors.

During the event, everyone's inside and battling.

They lasso a rope on this guy and easily threw him into an elevator shift. They don't seem like an invincible galaxy conquering race in this one scene.

Many of the Thals and Doctor's gang killed alot them by directing them toward each other as they were about to fire.

As the neutron bomb was about to finish the countdown. The Dalek fired on Ian. The one time he should trip over something happens as the Daleks' spray hits the master control. It gets destroyed and it stops the countdown and disables all the Daleks in the city.

All the good guys gather at TARDIS and say they're goodbyes. At least Barbara didn't kissed one of the Thals.

How dare you try to ruin the oldest ship in Doctor Who. IanXBarbaraOTP! I hope people write nasty fanfics of you random Thal whose name I'm too lazy to look up.

Yeah, I admit, they do have names but it's hard to remember them and they never show up after this episode/story/movie.

The gang board the TARDIS and traveled to their next designation.

They see Godzilla-sized Romans marching around TARDIS that are not even paying attention to a litte blue police box. Either that or the movie used footage from some swords and sandals movie and they unintentionally look big.

 They quickly travel to another place.

THE END

It was kinda interesting. The bigger budget made Skaro look cool. Daleks look a little more menacing(spray shooters withstanding).

It was interesting to see the Doctor with a different personality years before the idea of the Doctor can regenerate into a new person happen. I like they made Susan cooler but hate they made Ian into an idiot.

It does remove certain bits that dragged but sadly, removes some of the interesting dialogue and character development. Can't get the best of both worlds.
