What does Animal Crossing New Horizons need?



Since the release on Animal Crossing New Horizons, the game has dominated the video game and pop culture space, but what now? Why is it losing its spot? What happened?

Animal Crossing fans know that the game has always been a long term investment not a sprint. Decorating you island has added endless possibilities but the game still unfolds slowly. You could visit others islands to open up your catalog but if you don't your catalog will build at a snails pace.

What do we need?

1. A bigger Nook's. Time for the boys to get another upgrade. A second story.

2. Games - The 3DS version of the game had some things that should not make an appearance in ACNH but the mini games were fun. Going to an island and playing against others would add a lot to this version on Animal Crossing.

3. Multiple buy feature in Able sisters. It takes too long to buy every color of flip-flop. Just let us buy more things at once.

4. The characters need to talk less. By this point I have heard the same speech from Gulliver and Blathers. I need to be able to skip past the same useless dialogue after I have read it 20 times.

New Horizons is fun but it needs to keep sending updates to survive once people can get back to real life.

I can't wait to see what Thanksgiving (Harvest) and Christmas (Toy Day) look like in New Horizons but it is time to add a few other need features as well.

The Mandalorian Is Coming

When Disney+ streaming service launches in November it brings with it a Star Wars live-action TV series. This is the first of its kind and is highly anticipated.

It will be set in the time period a few years after the events of "The Return of the Jedi". The show will be located in the outer rim, far from the influence of the New Republic. It will be the story of a lone gunslinger, scoundrel, a bounty hunter.

With both Jon Favreau (Iron Man) and Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), expectations are very high. Both of these men have proven themselves in their craft. Below is the new trailer for "The Mandalorian":

Who Is the Next Marvel Villain?

Since Avengers Endgame is almost here, it is time to explore:
Who might be the next big Marvel baddie?

Who is going to show up to give our heroes a new treat to their peace and happiness? Who is going to wreck the happiness that they are finally feeling after the world has been set right again?

Will this villain make an appearance in a post credit scene or will we have to wait?

How much longer can we WAIT to see this movie without EXPLODING from anticipation??? (deep breaths... deep breaths...)

Soon Thanos will be gone and the world will be right again. Some of our heroes maybe forever changed, but  hopefully the Thanos story is completely wrapped up. We know that the universe moves forward and so our heroes will need another antagonist. Who will burst out of the scene to cause trouble in the MCU.

I believe it is time for Kang the Conqueror.

Kang is a time traveling genius that has amazing technology at his disposal. He desire to to conqueror and rule and he believes he is entitled to do so.

Why Kang?

1. If the Avengers use some form of time travel to reverse the affects of Infinity War, then they have opened up the MCU to time travel.

2. Now that Disney owns Fox, they have access to The Fantastic Four and Kang is a great villain to introduce them to the MCU without having to deal with a baddie that is Galactus yet.

3. You need a villain that can bridge you from Thanos to the next mega bad guy, but still feel like a threat for a phase or two.

4. We are going to need time to connect to new heroes and Kang is the perfect type of villain to get us to love our new heroes.

5. Wanting to conquer and rule is a great antithesis to Thanos' desire to just balance the universe.

We all know that a new bad guy is on the horizon. The question is not "if", but rather "who" and "when".

I believe we will get a hint of the new villain without him (or her) actually being revealed at the end of Avengers: Endgame. I believe the heroes will have a moment to breath, but the universe will begin to stir as a new danger arises.

Kang sounds like a possibility to me... What do you think?

Did Avengers Infinity War introduce S.W.O.R.D.?

*** Spoiler Warning***

Well... kind of...

If you have not seen Avenger's Infinity War I would suggest you do not read this blog.

Okay...

Everyone still here has seen the movie so I am wondering if the post credit seen was just a tease of Captain Marvel or could it also have a bigger meaning. Did we just get introduced to S.W.O.R.D.?

S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department) is a fictional counter-terrorism and intelligence agency appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Its purpose is to deal with extraterrestrial threats to world security. (From Wikipedia)

Thanos would definitely fit within their job-description and be a neat addition to the next phase of the MCU.

If it was a call to S.W.O.R.D. it does raise a few questions.

1. Where have they been?
2. Why didn't they respond to the Chitauri invasion? (or did they?)
3. What is their relationship with Shield?
4. What is Captain Marvel's role with the organization?

I am very excited for the MCU to introduce Carol Danvers. She is a game-changer and hopefully she is bringing along with her the entire might of S.W.O.R.D. to reign down fire on Thanos and help restore order to the universe.

Are You Ready for Infinity War?

Who lives?
Who dies?
Who is just no longer an Avenger?

With the release of the biggest movie of all time...well, at least it was the movie with the longest build up of all time...everyone is wondering who will make it out of this first movie and into the second. I believe most of our heroes will make it through, but some may suffer major damage. I think Vision is in real trouble, but I do not know if they will just kill him off. He could always return to being a computer-based AI for now. Hawkeye will probably not even appear until the next movie or the very end of this one. I believe Captain America is a good candidate for a potential loss at either the end of this film or the end of the next.

The only thing that is certain is the landscape of the MCU is about to change greatly. Who do you think is leaving? Will they all make it through?

Kim Possible movie

WHAT'S THE SITCH?

My daughter's favorite childhood cartoon is finally returning to Disney Channel but not as a new cartoon but as a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie). My hope is they will use the source material and make my daughter proud. We will just have to wait and see who they cast. They have to nail both Kim and Ron to make it work.
