Hey, everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these but I just want to give you all a heads ups as to what’s been going on in my life, why I’ve been very off and on for the past few months and what my plans are for the remainder of 2025 and onto 2026!
First off, my personal life has been hitting me hard quite recently with personal issues regarding my family, my work, and social media in general. I have a family member that has been quite under weather for the majority of the year and I’m not sure how much time she has in this world. There has also been some division happening within my work, with both my co-workers and certain incidents that has taken a hit with me. And of course, social media more than ever has been very mental and emotionally draining, leaving me more and more depressed as each day goes by.
I’ve been trying really hard to fight through it all. I’m making my time to visit or check in on that family member whenever I can, I’m working through my struggles at work by trying to be more focused and determined to do the best work I can without getting into any trouble, and I’m trying to spend less time on social media so I don’t get sucked into narratives going on around the world that I have no part in.
As screwed up as the world has gotten in recent years, I don’t think it has taken a hit on me until this past year. I guess it’s because up to that point, I was able to avoid the majority of it and focus on my own personal life without much focus on anything else. But now, since I’m more aware than ever as to what’s going on around the world, I can’t help but not look away when something bad happens. You just never know when the next big disaster will occur! Right now, I’m doing my best to work through all of that and only worry about something when it affects me personally and not anyone else. Some of you might think that’s selfish but hey, right now I can only take care of myself and my family! If you don’t like that, then blame the modern world!
Next thing, a question that I think some of you have is why I’ve never completed my Superman film retrospective I did before the release of Superman (2025). I did every single standalone Superman movie but didn’t get around to doing Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and both Justice League cuts. The main answer is that I don’t think I could add much to that that hasn’t already been said in my Man of Steel retrospective or what has been said constantly about any of those films.
Yes, I loathed both cuts of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice! Yes, I was indifferent as hell towards one cut of Justice League while mostly enjoying the other! But at the end of the day, Zack Snyder’s take on Superman is just a take I don’t think works. Regardless of whether you look at it as a faithful take on the character or just it’s own interpretation of it, I’m just not a huge fan of Henry Cavil’s Superman, feeling he’s closer in spirit to Homelander than Kal El himself. He does have his moments in the film, especially in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, where he captures a bit of that Superman spirit but as a whole, I just can’t connect with the 2010s cinematic take on the man of tomorrow in the ways I do with Christopher Reeve or David Corenswet.
Lastly, I have been thinking about what I want to do on here for the rest of the year along with 2026. For the rest of 2025, I’m gonna try to go back to my original formula where I can crank out at least two pieces per week. I do have some ideas around subject matter I want to tackle along with wanting to update some rankings that I’ve been wanting to do for the past few weeks. So, look out for those!
For 2026, I’m wanting to use that year as being a return to form on here. The kind of return to form that I started when I became more active on here in 2022 and want to bring that spirit back. This includes things like bringing back reviews with new films and games, more in-depth pieces about what’s going on around pop culture, and also get back to talking more about sports.
2026 is expected to be a MASSIVE year in all of the things. It’s probably the biggest it’s been in sports and entertainment since at least 2019. I want to be as active on that as much as humanly possible. As long as nothing earth shattering gets in the way next year (which to be fair, there’s a good chance that WILL indeed happen), 2026 should be exciting as hell and have good enough stuff to get us all through what will likely be another tough year in life for all of us. (Please Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu! Don’t start World War 3 before GTA 6 comes out!)
But yeah, that’s basically all I got right now! If there is anything specific I want to get off my chance in the future, I will make sure to inform you all!
Until then, look forward to future content on this blog and I will see you all next time!
Stay safe out there, everybody!
