Shaman's Thoughts: Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg Survivor Series 2016

You got my money Brock?! WHERE'S MAH MONEY?!

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with some wrestling talk. The year was 2004. The event was Wrestlemania 20; and the match was Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg. At the time, it was both men's final night in the WWE and the fans had completely turned on both men, not wanting to see the match and outraged, mainly at Brock, feeling like they were betrayed by Brock's leaving for MMA and felt he sold out. 

Fast forward twelve years later to Survivor Series last night, Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg 2: the rematch no one really asked for. Goldberg's first pro wrestling match in over a decade, and it was a match with months of build up, spawning from Goldberg's WWE 2K17 commercial. And much to the shock of wrestling fans everywhere, the match was over in three minutes (at most) with Goldberg dominating Lesnar in a squash match. And in the 12 plus hours as of the time this post is up, the internet is split on this match: some thought it was great, while many others believed it to be a complete disgrace. Here in this post I'll give my very thoughts on the match and the build up surrounding it and see if I can decipher where both sides are coming from in regards to their feelings on the match.

Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw Review



Greetings and Happy Halloween Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with a new review! Ah Halloween, the time of eating a crap ton of candy, watching all your favorite Horror films, and just being down right ashamed with some off the "Sexy" costumes that people have come up with, really just ONE Sexy Halloween costume this year.

The Harambe jokes have gone too far internet, they've gone too far...

But as this day was approaching, I realized there was something that I haven't done yet (And it's not Scooby-Doo Month gang, that one was dead this year). But you see, in this blog's history, I have covered every Ed, Edd n Eddy Holiday special, all saving one. And it's time to finally check this one off the list. Let's dive into Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw.

Superman vs The Elite Review


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back once again! Back in March I started a series of DC Animated reviews building up to my review of Batman v.

Welcome folks to my review of Superman vs The Elite.

Blast From The Past: Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (Ep. 1)


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back once again, and welcome to Sonic Week! People, this week is a very special week for one Sonic The Hedgehog. Come June 23th of this year, it'll be 25 years since Sonic the Hedgehog debuted in the gaming world; and it's been a 25 year long roller coaster ride. The Blue Blur has had his ups and downs (More downs than ups some would argue). But that's not what we're here to discuss. This week, we will be taking a look at some of Sonic's best and worst in animation. And what better way to kick Sonic week off than to dust off Blast From The Past and talk about one of the earliest, if not, the very first Sonic cartoon: Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog

Shaman's Thoughts: Captain America Civil War

Can the Russo Brothers just direct every superhero movie from now on? I'm not just talking Marvel, I mean DC, X-Men, Fantastic Four. Hell, Green light a Kick Ass 3 so they can direct it... 


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back once again here to give my thoughts on Captain America Civil War! Since this movie's announcement late 2014, everyone's been looking forward to see how the 2006-2007 Civil War comic would be adapted to film. Does it live up to the hype? Well, if my caption under the first pic is any indication, I believe so, but let me explain why I believe so as we dive into the movie!

The Road to BVS: Batman Under the Red Hood


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again and welcome back to the Road to BVS: a coverage of DC Animated films in the weeks building to Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. If you've seen the first (?) teaser trailer to Batman v Superman, you would've seen Batman looking on at a Robin suit with drawings all over it. I was among the many fans speculating that this was the suit of Jason Todd: the second person to take the mantle of Robin. He is most known for being killed by The Joker and later on being resurrected. Today folks, we take a look at the story of Jason Todd's revival. Let's dive into Batman: Under The Red Hood!

Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with a new review! A brand new DC Animated Film is upon us folks, Batman: Bad Blood.

But who knows, maybe this film is the one that changes the game for The DC Animated Film Universe. Only one way to find out: let's dive into Batman: Bad Blood!
