With that said let's move on. Shall we? Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the critical answer to the age old question. Who would win in a fight? Batman? Or Superman? Personally, I vote for Marvels Deadpool but I doubt that crossover will happen anytime soon. Hint hint. Now before I get to far ahead of myself let me state a few things. No. I do not DC. While Marvel may appeal to my personal tastes DC does have some merit. Even though most dark heroes aside from Batman are b -...

It also marks the second appearance of Starlights one and only waifu, Trixie, and Appleblooms reformed cousin, Babs Seed. The first thing to note here is the comics place in the shows story. It pics up not long after the events "Magical Duel" where Trixie nearly took...

Lastly, if any of you notice any mistakes, be it typos or otherwise, don't hesitate to let me know. With that said, lets move on. Shall we? Ratchet and Clank the movie. A film dedicated to an iconic game series. A classic developed by Sony entertainment. The film picks just before the series's first installment. Can you say origin stories? The first thing that caught my eyes was the attention to detail in ots animation. Blending a combination of the games original cinematic with 3D imaging to bring new life to the classic characters. Definitely so...

With that said, let's move on. Shall we? Episode 10: Swarm of the Century at first glance sound like Hasbro's attempt at an Alfred Hitchcock joke. All it was missing was Larson popping up and saying "Good evening." This episodes main played similarly to the previous episode, Bridal Gossip. Sometimes the most simple solutions can come from the most unexpected places. In this case Twilight and the others were so frantic to solve things they failed to stop and actually ma...

With that said, let's move on. Shall we? Issues 17 - 20, aka the reflections arc, brings together author Katie Cook and artist Andy Price for a dramatic and heartbreaking tail of love and loss. As experienced by Princess Celestia of our world and King Sombra of another. Yes. This is an arc where Celestia actually has character. Shocker! To start things off. Unlike the mirror in the first EQG film this world didn't lead to Canterlot High. Instead it lead to another Eq...

HELLOOO and welcome to Cultures Compendium of Reviews! As always, I am Culture Shock. Your guide to all things cultural in Equestria and beyond.

It does not, nor should it ever, reflect the overall opinion of the fandom. Lastly, if any of you notice any mistakes, be it typos or otherwise, don't hesitate to let me know. With that said let's move on, shall we? Power Rangers. A franchise idolized so heavily by kids and adults that makes me question life. Let me start off by stating I don't support this franchise train wreck. I would honestly prefer a rotting cow carcus to this crap. And I used to be a fan of it. Power Rangers as a whole was a drunken mistake. Its creator, Haim Saban, is a prime example of giving diamonds to a monkey. Given he makes DECENT anime dubs thats not a great fac...

With that said let's move on, shall we? Episode 9: Bridal Gossip. An episode that's sparked a lot of debates. Personally, I see no major issue here. I mean sure there were problems with it but not enough to go wild about. And I've seen PPOV. To start things off I can personally relate to the moral of this episode. You should never judge a book by its cover. Sure something can look bad on the outside but that doesn't mean its actually bad. Twiligh...

That we spent so many years trying to decode our sisters diary just to hear she had a zit in the third grade. For all that its worth doesn't really drawn viewers in completely...
