The 90s are Back!

Catching Up

This past month has been crazy. We moved Luna out of her apartment, I’m looking for a new place, several of us have started new jobs, and this summer has been crazy chaotic. Not to mention all the geek content E3 dropped on us this year. It’s just been a lot. But I want to catch everyone up on movies. So here we go.

Aladdin 7/10: The updated Disney animated classic wasn’t half bad. For the most part I really enjoyed the movie. I loved Will Smith and his personalization of the Genie. While he is no Robin Williams he definitely made it his own. There were a few part like Jasmines “let it go” song that seemed unnecessary but overall it was pretty good.

Godzilla King of Monsters 8/10 or 2/10: I don’t usually give movies a double score but I felt this one deserved it. If you like action movies and especially big monster fights you’re going to love it. If you want a story with human characters? Don’t go. Simple as that.

Dark Phoenix 5/10: I tried. I really did. I wanted to like this movie. It’s Marvel and superheroes and action. But when it comes down to it, it was pretty bad. I can’t express how disappointed I was, again, with an X-men film.

MIB International: Currently MIB 4 is the second worst movie of 2019. That’s easily subject to change (we still have Star Wars 9). I loved the idea of Thor and Valkyrie in a body cop movie. It seemed like a great idea. It wasn’t. Not a movie I would recommend.

Toy Story 4 7/10: 90s nostalgia is definitely here this summer. Toy Story 4 is one of the few movies this summer that lives up to its hype. It’s a very well done story with all your favorite characters. To be honest the only reason it isn’t scored higher is because I didn’t feel it was entirely necessary after TS 3. It felt more like a way to sell new toys, and not the closing that 3 had. But if you ignore that it was great.

Now we wait for Spider-Man Far from Home

Pixverse Part 6: Monsters, Witches, and Time travel! Oh my!

The Pixverse ends (currently) with Monsters University and Monsters Inc. After humanities final extinction and the demise of the robots earth is abandoned. Except for the animals. They have been there the entire time. Struggling to survive on a forsaken planet. With out the pollution from the robots and humans life can return to normal. Bugs are the first creatures to emerge as we see in A Bugs Life. They are much more intelligent and creative then we last saw in Finding Dory. They have entire societies and inventions. Eventually these bugs become bigger and we get the mostest we see in Monsters U and Monsters inc.

But those Monsters do one important thing. Time travel. The doors they use to scare kids are time portals. They go back in time to scare children.

Boo sees this as a child. She is one of only a few kids to see this. Riley from Inside Out also saw a monster (Bing Bong) but like most kids she thought she made him up. Boo on the other hand was convinced that her “Kitty” was real. She would spend the rest of her life searching for Sully.

How do we know this? Because Boo is the witch from Brave. The old lady who uses doors to create new houses? Sound familiar?

But how did she end up in the 10th century? Great question. Boo either helped create portals with the government or made them herself in her adult life. I lean towards helping the government. Why? We see simple portals used a lot in the second Incredibles movie. That is part of Jack Jack and Voyd’s powers. You see them use simple visual teleportation.

Before the supers went extinct the government (more accurately probably Buy n Large) discovered how to recreate this teleportation. Boo helped perfect the science and then stole it to find Sully.

She uses the teleportation door to accidentally go back in time instead of forwards. She spends her life going the wrong direction from Sully and leaves Easter eggs all throughout time (and the Pixar movies) for him to find her. In the end she finds the start of magic. Which is during the time of Brave. But sadly we never know if she found Sully again.

It has been a long six weeks going through the Pixverse. But we can summarize it really quick.

Everything is Boos fault. She used time travel and created hints and clues and used science in Times she shouldn’t have. Her science and technology (magic according to Brave) created a butterfly effect that would destroy humanity. The entire Pixverse is all Boos fault.

Pixverse Part 5: AI Haven

Earth is destroyed. Humans and robots have waged a war that has destroyed most of humanity. All that remains is a broken planet. And that’s where Wall-E comes in. After the Robot-Human was earth was left decimated. All that was left of humans was left on the Axiom. At the end of Wall-E humans return to earth. But it doesn’t work. The humans quickly die out leaving just robots and AI on earth. The robots thrive and you end up with the Cars trilogy. The cars thrive for years until they begin to have an oil shortage. Just like humanity the cars/robots go too far and in the end kill themselves.

Because in the end even robots will wipe themselves out.

Next week we end our Pixverse series. Well until Toy Story 4.

Pixverse Part 4: Robot-Human War

Part 4- The Robot Human War

We left of with robots rising in power and animals rising in intelligence. We briefly saw the rise of the supers but they quickly died out. Humanity had lost its greatest protectors.

Up plays a pivotal role in the beginning of the war. We see the takeover of BnL. BnL is the company that destroyed humanity and let robots rise. BnL is the company that takes over Carl’s house. Or tried to at least. They were the ones leading the urban expansion.

Inside Out and Coco let us see the use of magic and science working together. It also lets us see the last few years of “normal” life before the war.

We never actually see the war. But the aftermath is evident. Wall-E lets us see what happened. The robots won. It seems pretty easily too without the supers. All that’s left are a few humans controlled by an AI in space. Leaving earth totally abandoned…

Till next time when we find out what happened to earth

Pixverse Part 3: Robot Rise

Part 3- Robot Rise

When we left off I had introduced you to two of the three factions that fight for dominance in the Pixverse, animals and man. I also showed you that animals are intelligent and magic exists.

Now you should meet the ones who destroyed humanity. And you can thank Syndrome for the end of mankind.

Syndrome was in many ways too smart for his own good. In the 1950-60s he created AI (artificial intelligence). You see the intelligence of his creations in the first Incredibles. The Omnidroid destroys part of the city and even learns that it can be controlled. The robot does it’s best to stop the humans from shutting it down.

The Omnidroid uses a special piece of technology. It’s the zero point energy most notably used by Syndrome to freeze the Incredibles in place. This energy seeps into everything over the next 60 years or so.

Supers eventually die out after Incredibles 2 but humanity remains. And so does much of Syndromes technology. Toy Story and Toy Story 2 introduce us to a company that becomes very important later, Buy n Large (BnL). This company was built off of the inventions of Syndrome. They continue to use the AI and zero point energy he created. In many ways they use it very recklessly because it has started to seep into inanimate objects, like toys.

This zero point energy feeds off of human emotions as seen by Syndromes anger and the humans around Woody and the gang.

By the early 2000s animals have continued to evolve. We see this in Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, and Finding Dory. The same zero point energy that affects inanimate objects also changes animals. They have learned how to speak to one another and coexist in harmony.

This all leads us up to the first war. Which we will cover next week.

Pixverse Part 2: The Human Problem

Part 2- The Human Problem⠀
⠀
The Pixverse, like many franchises, (looking at you Star Wars and Fast and Furious) was not filmed in order. The oldest Pixar movie is Toy Story which came out in 1995. The oldest movie on the Pixverse timeline is The Good Dinosaur. Based roughly 65 million years ago the Pixverse changes history drastically by having the meteor miss earth and the dinosaurs continue to live their normal lives. With life left unchecked, animals thrive and show large amounts of intelligence. ⠀
⠀
We also meet humans at this time. What can easily be called “the human problem”. Throughout the Pixverse there are three factions fighting for power. We have the animals, humans, and the machines (robots). ⠀
⠀
The Good Dinosaur sets up the existence of humans and animals. They both inhabit the planet and coexist for the most part in peace. Animals already show an aptitude for intelligence and humans not so much. ⠀
⠀
By the 10th or so century we see humans have become significantly more intelligent and animals have not. Brave introduces us to one important part of the Pixverse, Magic! We meet the most important character of the entire Pixverse, the Witch. She is the little old lady who lives in the woods and uses magic, a lot of magic. Both of which will be very important later. ⠀
⠀
Which is where we end off for this week. I leave you all wondering why magic and talking animals matter at all! Till next week that is!⠀

Pixverse Part 1: The Pixar Truth

Part 1- The Pixar Truth⠀
⠀
The Pixar Theory and the Pixar Universe (what I will refer to as the Pixverse from now on) hold several unconventional truths. The first is that the laws of our earth and world do not apply. So discard any reality you know (as if talking toys and bugs wasn’t enough). Second, magic and science are basically the same thing. Throughout this series you will see how science and magic are continuously referred to and interchanged. Third even Pixar has to retcon stuff. So deal with it. There are inconsistencies but what conspiracy theory doesn’t have issues? Forth for this series I will be assuming you have seen every Pixar movie, so I will not be recapping the entire film, just the main Pixverse points. Finally and probably the most important, I’m the one coming up with my own Pixar Theory. This isn’t official. That means I miss stuff and make mistakes. Be nice. Thanks.
