Monster Hunter (2020)

Coming off of viewing half of Crank High Voltage, I wanted to watch a better movie, something less awful, and only sort of succeeded in my quest. Monster Hunter (2020) doesn't really succeed at being a good Monster Hunter movie, it was made by the guy who did the, 6 or so? Resident Evil movies, J.S. Sawyer I believe, and you can really tell that by how they tried to make this like, a horror movie. Which doesn't at all fit Monster Hunters tone. there's an extended section with Narscyllas (spider monsters) that's meant to be scary, they lay eggs in one of the military guys. that's another thing, besides like, 3 characters (Mila Jovovich, the main hunter, the other hunter) everyone is chaff to get killed quickly by monsters from a tail swipe or a bite or whatever it's odd.

Also the movie is very eh, US military centric, and probably kinda racist in some kinda way. minor issue though. coolest part of the movie easily when Rathalos destroys the US military I thought that was good, seeing it rip apart a tank.

Also also, the movie ends on a cliffhanger, it's sequel bait, nothing even happens enough in this movie for it feel solid by itself, like an hour in the plot has barely progressed because the entire spider section did nothing for the movie and could easily have been cut to free up 30 minutes

The graphical effects were pretty good though, like the Rathalos and Diablos looked really cool, that's a bonus.

You shouldn't watch this movie I think, maybe the second one will be better, I doubt it.

Monster Hunters

[starakex]

I've mentionned him in passing in the last costume log blog post as some ill-fated first attempt at a fursuit head, so it's only fair I actually showed him off at some point: here's Uncle Uncanny the Nargacuga in the flesh.

I started him in late 2020 as a little technique-learning project during a time where cons were dead and costume motivation was an all-time low. It's a funky little Nargacuga head all made from scratch! He's lined and everything, and I'd be crazy to call him bad because I know objectively he's a very handsome boy for a first attempt, but he always looked a little... funky. Despite all the flaws though, he was so dang fun to make that he paved the way for the Wurmple partial and other future projects, and was an invaluable learning experience! I'd never bring him out though because the actual WEARING experience is a hot mess. Like, the materials are so bad he's periodically falling apart despite never taking him out to an event. He's so hard to breathe in, too... So back to storage you go! Speaking of, good lord please periodically check your costume storage to make sure everything's a-ok. He's been in the same dry closet as everything else for years and for some reason the plastic bag he's been stored in was just casually FLAKING APART in a sticky, blooming mess (while everything else was just fine, including some other ANCIENT pieces in similar bags) . My hands feel so gross and smell like copper but he's survived just fine, thankfully. Seriously, though. Check your storage.

Favorite Digimon Group Member

The group Digimon King is not included since it's more of a title than a team of digimon who work together and are associated with each other.

If any team has more then twelve members when two polls will be made, one with as many as I can fit and another one with the winning member of the first poll and the rest of the members.

No digimon that are related to the group will be included since they are not members of the groups, and all group members will be gotten from a list on Wikimon.

Monster Hunter (2020)

Most probably wouldn’t consider Monster Hunter good for valid reasons. I will acknowledge the movie's flaws while admitting I enjoyed it for what it is. There are some cool monster designs, exciting action scenes and unexpected turns. Today, that’s enough for me and I don’t think I’ll be the only one who says so.

U.S. Army Ranger Captain Natalie Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her United Nations security team are searching for a missing team of soldiers in the desert when they are suddenly transported to another world. On this hostile planet, humans co-exist with savage monsters of all shapes and sizes. Joining forces with a warrior from the New World (Tony Jaa), Artemis heads towards a mysterious tower in the distance. “The Hunter” was headed that way with his troupe of warriors before they became separated. Artemis hopes the tower is linked to the storm that ripped her away from Earth.

The neat thing about this movie is that Artemis and The Hunter don’t speak a common language. I mean, how could they? After realizing they’d rather stand together against the monsters that would eat, squish, incinerate or lay eggs inside them, our heroes team up. Most of the movie is about Artemis and The Hunter slowly learning to trust each other despite not being able to fully understand what the other is saying. Oh, and dodging the various monsters along the way. Actually, I wish the film showed off more monsters than it does, mostly because the big bad at the end is generic. It looks plenty cool, but the design is uninspired, particularly when compared to the Apceros, the Diablos or the Nerscyllas. Those creatures are memorable and unique, so you’re not even sure if they’re hostile or what their abilities might be. When/if our heroes have to fight them, you’ll have a great time learning what their weak points are and what the best strategy is.

I’ve never played any of the games the film is inspired by but if I were to guess, I’d say it captures the feel of them about as well as Paul W.S. Anderson’s other adaptation of a Capcom property: Resident Evil. That’s to say that the plot's nothing like it, but the visuals are there. I say this because we see plenty of weird-looking characters and people with weapons that probably wouldn’t make sense in real life but certainly look cool - The Hunter’s gigantic bow, for instance. It doesn’t make for a deep film, but as something you kick back and watch, it's certainly entertaining.

Where Monster Hunter loses points is during the last third, when we’re introduced to a Monster World inhabitant who speaks English. How he knows it doesn’t make much sense. It feels like a studio-mandated decision to make sure people would understand what’s going on, but come on. We spent over an hour of this movie piecing things together without anyone holding our hand. Why not have confidence in us paying attention all the way through? Monster Hunter also makes bizarre choices right at the end. The film ends. The credits start rolling. Then it starts up again and concludes. The credits roll once more only for a stinger that promises a sequel to pop up once the last name has scrolled past. The “first” conclusion wasn’t definitive. It was elegant in a way that said “This part of the adventure is over, but there are more monsters out there”. Going over that thought two more times is clumsy.

There’s not much dialogue and the plot is straightforward. That’s appropriate for a movie called Monster Hunter. The world is full of monsters. Find a way to survive the encounters and get back home! Sure, it means the title is a giant misnomer but should that promised sequel materialize (it’s not going to) it would’ve made sense. I went into Monster Hunter expecting it to be terrible because, despite a few recent outliers, most video game adaptations have been lackluster at best. I was pleasantly surprised. I'd watch another Monster Hunter. I'd even watch this again before any of the Resident Evil films. (August 6, 2023)

Monster Hunter (2020)

[splatteronmywalls]

[blackdigitalrose]

Well I can't sleep, so why not...Round 3 and the contestants are;

Mimi (20), Ren, Kenta, Izzy (99), Kari (99), Tohma, Haru, Jeri, Torajiro, Miki

Tohma - This may be bias, (Tohma/Masaru are one of the best rivals, which is reflected equally well through their digimon) I like how similar he is to Masaru and yet the complete opposite side of the coin and contrast each other so well. His ep about his Mum's death was rough and unlike a lot of our high IQ Tamers, Tohma shakes it up a bit by actually being able to fight to and not just being all brains. (Don't deny that Miragegaogamon and it's Burst mode are some of the coolest things you've ever seen 🤩)

2. Kari (99) - Selfless, brave, kind, a plot mcguffin done right, with no shortage of memorable scenes and storylines to her name despite only appearing half way through. Plus she doesn't just join and that's it, her joining actually has impact long term and helps bring out different sides of other characters like Tai, TK and the digimon in general.

3. Izzy (99) - The ONLY Izzy that is tolerable (before Toei just decided the guy could start bending reality to his will and erased all potential future problems because he could just fix everything with his computer smarts) this Izzy is awkward, unsocial, actually screws up from time to time and held to account, is brought out of his shell and gets some heavy and mature story lines in his character focused eps. (He's also definitely more of a best friend to Tai than Matt is, the guy is always in Tai's corner!)

4. Jeri - Yeah... Remember when the innocent girl witnessed a murder, suffered from PTSD, and was possessed by an inhuman destructive force? That was fun. The poor girl has a membership card to the same club as Koichi.

5. Haru - The irony being, that the guy gets lost and overshadowed in his own series, while his whole arc is about not being the main character in his own story but feeling like a support. He isn't bad though and he grows into a decent goggle boy as the series progresses, he's quiet to start but not annoyingly so and as he starts pushing himself you do find yourself getting behind him. (But darn do they ruin that ending by having it a literal 3 seconds too long).

6. Torajiro - I actually didn't find him that annoying, plus his relationship with Musimon was probably the best one. He gets good developing relationships with Haru and Eri and just another clear example why Appmon was a bit ahead of its time. The guy is stuck in a clash between tradition and modernity.

7. Mimi (20) - Probably the only one who was saved in the awful reboot. Who shares traits to the original but at the same time is completely new. She now has a Grandpa who she clearly respects the heck out of and is just a CEO to be... but why is her hat white? Did they forget to colour it in and then just ran with it? The pink hat is iconic.

8. Miki - Let's be fair now, she is only remembered for potentially two things but I've always liked how her Digivice was the opposite colour to her Pawnchessmon. (And I've just had an observation...)

9. Kenta - Only marginally better than his friend Kazu, Kenta does bring a bit more to the table; yet ends up befriending a Mega and said Mega actually just happens to be useful against the D-reaper.

10. Ren - Who? Guy gets completely lost in the shuffle.

Monster Hunter Paul W.S. Anderson Germany/USA/Japan/China/South Africa/Canada, 2020 ★ This is so consistently terrible in practically every aspect.. it's almost admirable.

A movie with this premise shouldn't be this dull, and yet..

But, you know, Paul W. S. Anderson. What else can you get?

The creatures look good, though. And it made me appreciate Neil Marshall's DOOMSDAY a bit more, so there's that.

Maybe you don’t get that much interaction because you don't understand proper fandom etiquette.

You are allowed to not ship, and you don't need like queer ships and your allowed to write what you want to wrtie, but you don't bash the gays publicly because they don't fit with your views.

Not everything has to be gay I hear you say. Yes, not everything had to be queer, but you also don't get to silence the queer people and how they see themselves in media.

Plus, if not everything has to be gay then not everything has to be straight.

You are allowed to like and dislike what you like, but you don't get to be a proshipper or a nonshipper.

It's also funny how you have an anti toxic fandom tag when you are the toxic fan.

Oh, and I guess I should apologize for interacting since I do, in fact, "ship gay".

Have a nice day/afternoon/night! 👋

Digimon fans, where you at?

Hey Digimon fans, where are you all at? I feel our fandom has died - especially with fanfic writers and readers and even people who want to discuss it anymore. Like I'm a fanfic writer who knows her writing is not terrible, it's good enough that when I wrote a Harry Potter fanfic, people are constantly reviewing and favouriting it. I've already got 5 reviews on a single chapter.

So Digimon fans, why have you let our fandom die? Our show is so well written for its time.

Where are you guys?

Whether you ship Taiora and Takari or Sorato and Daikari, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, we both love Digimon. If you agree and wish to connect or if you just agree with this post, send through some likes so I know you lot are alive out there.

Only don't send me a like if you ship gay. Digimon is my childhood and I don't want that tainted like everything else is nowadays. I've seen every season but Ghost Game and the 2020 reboot (because 01 was better and didn't need a reboot) but I'm happy if you would like to ramble about it. I'm also not a huge fan of Tri.

[bagerfluff]

This is not a battle of which member is the strongest or coolest, just the one that you like the best.

So no hate to anyone or any of the members and no propaganda against any of the members, so no rebloging or commenting to hate on anyone or any of the members.

Reblogs are always appreciated!

I think it's insanity that a show that aired in 2005 about monsters and hunters, God and Lucifer, devils and angels evolved into a tragic gay love story, ended in 2020, is still trending to this day, will never stop trending, Jensen Ackles truly thinks that he's Dean Winchester irl, throwing birthday parties and all, Misha is being held hostage by CW but is fighting for the angel's gay rights in the trenches, there are tapes worth more than FBI secrets, this gay love story is also involved with American/Russian politics, is doing a better job at informing people than the news, updates not known to the public keep on surfacing to remind the people that Destiel is canon every good old Tuesday. Insanity.

**** Yes, this movie has an overly long title. I had a hard time deciding whether to highlight it in bold or not.

Happy Digimon Day!

Monster Hunter Pocket Edition 2024: Rathalos

Back in 2020 I made some pixel art for a hypothetical Monster Hunter fighting game that would has been put on the Neo Geo Pocket Colour and I've wanted to do a remake of those pieces for some time now. Starting off, we have the king of the Skies, Rathalos!

Now, I know it's often said in art circles that you shouldn't put down your own work, and I still somewhat happy with the original... but I don't know about you guys, but the new version is such an improvement. And I'm stoked with how it came out. I'll be doing a bit extra with these ones too as each "in game" sprite will be accompanied by a "character select" sprite and 18 x 18 pixel portrait. On top of that, the original 6 monsters will be joined by 4 new ones.

I hope you guys like it and I'll see you next time with the next monster... or something else... not gonna lie, since I have the animation done now I'm not too sure what to do but we'll see!
