Was The Barbie Movie Made For Kids?

By Maddy

 The Barbie movie starts out in Barbie Land, where Barbie and Ken are having the best time of their lives in the colorful and basically perfect Barbie Land. But when Barbie and Ken get a chance to go to the real world they see how the world isn’t so perfect.

  I think the Barbie movie was good because it reflected how in our imagination everything is so perfect but how in the real world nothing is perfect, and how society is a real pain to everyone. Plus people will judge you on what you wear.

Kamen Rider Decade (仮面ライダーディケイド)

By Caelan S.

Summary:

Kadoya Tsukasa is a photographer who claims to not be from the world he ends up in. Suddenly, the world is attacked by various monsters. It is explained to Tsukasa by a mysterious figure that the worlds of the previous nine Heisei Kamen Riders (Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, and Kiva) were all separate stories, but the stories and worlds are colliding. As Kamen Rider Decade, Tsukasa must go through the worlds of the riders and destroy their riders to save his world.

Review:

Kamen Rider Decade is an odd show. There is a lot to talk about for it, and it’s definitely not all good. The easiest place to start would probably be the lead, so I’ll start there. Kadoya Tsukasa is an amazing protagonist. It’s hard exactly to convey why, but he definitely grows on you over the course of the series and he does a lot of very atypical things that you wouldn’t expect from a normal protagonist. 

Even greater than Tsukasa is the Kamen Rider he becomes. The Kamen Rider Decade suit is an awesome suit. It has an extremely unique helmet, that is basically the symbol for Decade. The chest has a very clean and stylish X, and it all has a very nice shade of pink magenta. The Decadriver, the henshin belt of the series, continues this trend. It’s a very simple and classy design, but it’s the little details that sell it. Things like the symbols for Kuuga-Kiva surrounding it, and the fact that it shows a bit of the Rider Cards, the first true gimmick item in the series. Though the suit and driver might have seemed to be odd things to talk about, but considering they’re what make a Kamen Rider a Kamen Rider, I feel like it’s warranted.

The show is very episodic, almost exclusively following a two-episode arc format, with each arc being one of each of the past riders' worlds, kind of. The odd thing about Decade is that it’s partially an anniversary season, and this is where things start going wrong.

Sure, there are several anniversary aspects; past suits, old sound effects, etc. But Tsukasa visits what is known by the fan base as A.R. Worlds, because the worlds and riders are very different, and there are two sides to this coin. On one hand, I find it really dumb that it’s treated as an anniversary season when one of the main anniversary aspects is very different from what I’d expect. But, this allows them to use unique ideas they couldn’t with the original show. For example, one of the main mechanics in Kamen Rider Kabuto is clock up, which allows the riders to move at insanely high speeds. The A.R. World Kabuto can’t leave clock up, and so we see how the world reacts and how people try and get him out of clock up.

However, this sort of ingenuity might have made the show's biggest problem even worse. Kamen Rider Decade has one of the most convoluted plots I’ve ever seen in a tokusatsu. Not to spoil anything,but a lot of very important questions introduced very early on are never answered. Not in the “we gave you a bunch of clues, you can figure it out” way, more so in the “why wasn’t this in the actual show” way. Also, this is supposed to be a celebration of Heisei era riders, so it’s very strange why by the end they have a lot of very important things from Showa era shows.

I should also probably mention the two main movies for the series. Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders Vs. Dai Shocker is actually a pretty good movie with some very interesting ideas. But the crossover movie with the next show, Kamen Rider W, Movie War 2010, is definitely worse. The main problem is that it's supposed to be very important for the show, but it more so feels like a bunch of half thought through ideas. It’s also really boring.

Overall, Kamen Rider Decade is a mess of a show, but is a really fun mess. And if you like the show, Decade has had many appearances since then, including the first Super Hero Taisen and is a side character in Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Watch it on Toku.Fun

Note: outside of the first two episodes on the Toei Tokusatsu World YouTube channel, there is currently no official way to watch the show. Toku.Fun is definitely not a perfect fansubs website for a variety of reasons like it having a bunch of ads, but it’s good if you want a sampling of Kamen Rider.

Minecraft review 

By Kennick Dinh 

Minecraft is a game where the objective is to defeat the ender dragon. You can also play servers where you can play games like bedwars, skywars, and many more. To play on the servers you need to make a Microsoft account. There is a mode called creative mode where you can get any item you want in the game. Minecraft cost 20-30 dollars depending  on the place you buy it from. 

I believe Minecraft is a 7/10 because it gets boring after you beat the game a lot. For example if you beat the game over and over without changing anything you start to get bored.
