Bam's Bad Ass Game Show (2014)

(Season 1 review) Bam could have done better with a concept other than a game show.

[4/10 · 15 June 2015]

I think with as much budget as he was given and the format that was used he did the best he could, which was a dumbed down Jack Ass with random people that was going to be compared to Wipe Out and the progenitor Japanese game shows that spawned Wipe Out.

It's really disappointing that the studio didn't just follow the format of Viva La Bam, what this game show should have been was more like Real World or Big Brother House with publicity stunts to pick the cast of each season. Those shows always have contests to attract crazy people and then get people hyped about the crazy people they found.

I hate to give this a bad review because I think if Bam is produced right he can draw crowds to a show and turn profits for what ever studio he works for. Basically FIX THIS SHOW! there is a good show here but the design is a mess!

RoboCop (2014)

I emailed José Padilha and asked him to do Robocop 3 instead of one.

[4/10 · 6 June 2015]

As soon as I heard about this at it's conceptual phase I emailed José Padilha and asked him not to redo Robocop 1 as the first movie had very few flaws to improve on.

I suggested instead redoing the third movie in the series as most people felt it was the worst of the three and would have been easy to make a remake that exceeded the original while continuing to capitalize on the success of the first two Robocop movies without alienating the fans of that original series.

Sadly, José Padilha never got my email/never read it/saw it/didn't care and continued ahead with this movie. Here we are a year after release and this reboot didn't reboot anything. There are no new robocop comics, no robocop toy lines, cartoons, video-games, nothing.

As a franchise reboot this has failed because it ignored one very important basic thing! It alienated fans of the original trilogy. And if you are going to alienate the fans from the parts of a trilogy they already like then why bother acquiring the license to that franchise?

Mutant X (2001–2004)

Marvel's evolutionary stepping stones are filled with dead ends.

[3/10 · 4 June 2015]

It's interesting to go back and see old marvel before the movies. But not in this case. It has very little to do with Marvel even the alternate earth comics never reference Mutant X because there just weren't enough fans of the show for comic writers to shoot out a nod to Mutant X, and Marvel comics are filled with call backs be it just a passing joke or a full plot device, but Mutant X is never referenced in any comic in any form because it's crap.

The one vague thread it holds to Marvel is the idea of mutants, and even then it's watered down to where the X Gene comes from genetic science, not random mutations or something from the comics.

I watched the X-Men cartoon and read the comics growing up, this was exciting to see previews for but the one thing I didn't pick up on at the time was that they were not pushing that they had any marvel characters in the show. And in fact when it did air it turned out it had nothing to do with the comics and cartoons. It was really a complete waste of a licensed IP, they could have at least had the New Mutants(X-teens in training to become X-Men in the comics) and drawn in NM fans but they went to all the trouble of licensing Marvel and didn't use anything!

I have no idea why it's rating above average at 6 besides some dishonest raters are marking this show 10 but I would say it's easily a 3, its not good(7-8), it's not awful (1-2), It certainly is below average but by how much? Well- If I could point to one appealing aspect I would give it a 4 but there isn't much of anything so it's really a 3.
