Walking Again...With Beasts

-


A Continuation from my “Walking with Dinosaurs...Again”, I (Ethan Stranger) have decided to review the BBC’s 2001 Sequel Series, which is Walking with Beasts (for after dinosaurs, came some of the most strange creatures that have ever walked our earth, some of them existed long before humans arrived on our planet). While I grew up loving Dinosaurs more, I also had a love for the Prehistoric Beasts that roamed the Earth millions & millions of years ago (and the best way to explore more is to review this series, so without further ado, let’s get reviewing…with the Beasts, shall we?

The creatures you see before you (Picture: Top Center), several of them are the blueprints for the creatures that still roam within Today’s Society, however, we always wonder why these creatures would go extinct while their cousins of the future continue to roam today’s world, still live on, a perfect example would be the now extinct Dire Wolf, as it’s smaller/weaker cousin (The Grey Wolf) survived, this all had to do with the disappearance of their prey, the impact of climatic change, competition with other species (including the earliest humans walking the earth), Yet, the earliest of a man managed to tame the Grey Wolf, thus the birth of the future of the many dog breeds that’ll later come, yet we couldn’t do that with the Dire Wolf (why)?

Though some that Walking with Beasts never actually dive deeper into the history of Prehistoric America (as well as explores other areas, filled with many prehistoric creatures), one particular example would be the Megafauna that existed in prehistoric Australia (Pictures: Bottom Center), would’ve been fun to see an episode within the series based on these creatures.

This Poster (Top Center) shows off all of the prehistoric creatures that appear within the overall series, however, click on the link to read more about the so-called “Scientific errors”, as further scientific study shows how both these Prehsitorc mammals (and even dinosaurs) could’ve looked like:

A year later (in 2002) after the debut of Walking with Beasts premiered on TV, the premiere of the movie, Ice Age (Picture: Bottom Center) happened, I’ll never forget (after watching Treasure Planet with my Dad at the Mall theater), we literally went to Blockbuster and rented this movie, I felt like Ice Age was somewhat of a way to poke fun at “Walking with Beasts”, while also making the prehistoric creatures more fun and interesting for a younger audience to enjoy, because I was like around 5-6 years old when both “Walking with Beasts” and Ice Age came out, not sure if there were any other 5-6 years old from my generation that (of course, would’ve gone to see Ice Age) but would they have seen “Walking with Beasts” too?

Although a success, Walking with Beasts didn’t get the same attention as Walking with Dinosaurs, for it would do a special episode starring Big Al the Allosaurus, a Live-Stage Show, and a Movie (which was really bad), though I’m not sure if the team behind these 2 series’ would’ve wanna do a continuation, to explore other prehistoric creatures that weren’t in both series, as of now AppleTV+’s Prehistoric Planet is ripping a page from Walking with Dinosaurs, could they also do the same with Walking with Beasts sometime in the near future?

(though for now, enjoy the opening theme of Walking with Beasts) 

Next time join me, Ethan Stranger, as I review The final chapter within the “Walking with… series”, “Walking with Monsters: Life Before Dinosaurs”.

Good Morning Glitch Techs Fans! This is Ethan Stranger doing my 3rd Nick toons Review Blog Post (Following my “I’m A Goofy Goober: The SpongeBob (Birthday) Post & Legend of Korra: Power Bender ”), today I’ll be reviewing Nickelodeon's / Netflix’s Glitch Techs (as well as reviewing one specific character I found Interesting...and that would be Miko Kubota ). Besides sporting some Purple (especially her hairdo ) cause Purple is my all-time favorite color in the world , her creators ( Dan Milano & Eric Robles) have confirmed that she has ADHD, something that I, Ethan Stranger , and many people out there can relate to! So let’s go over the behind-the-scenes creation of Glitch Techs as well as why Miko Kubota steals the show (besides her sporting Purple ). Glitch Techs was picked by Nickelodeon all the way back in the summer of 2016 and was originally supposed to debut back in 2018 before being pushed two years later, all the way back to 2020 - this all happened while

Just a Stray Black Cat: The Felicia Hardy Story

An unlikely sequel to “ Diamondback in the Rough: The Rachel Leighton Story”. I, Ethan Stranger , will be discussing another of Marvel Comics’ Hottest women (who has yet to headline her own movie), may I present, “The Black Cat (Felicia Hardy)”, enemy, love interest, and ally to our “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”, 1st appearing in “ Amazing Spider-Man #194 ”, Created by Marv Wolfman & Dave Cockrum, you can obviously tell she’s a ripoff of DC’s Catwoman, but allow me to break down to you why I love her... To recap on her comics history, Felicia Hardy was the daughter of a world-renowned cat burglar, “Walter Hardy” . Over time, Felicia made the decision to strengthen herself and became quite skilled at fighting and acrobatics. She would soon follow in her father's footsteps, by adopting the costumed identity of the Black Cat . While she does have incredible reflexes & agility, another ability she has is the power to inflict “Bad Luck” on her opponents. Originally introduc

High School Crushes: Preparing for Love

A continuation from my previous blog posts, “High School Memoirs: Teachers & Bullies Club: No More”, I, Ethan Stranger will be discussing about a topic that I’m sure we (including people with Asperger’s) can relate to and that’s “Love (or whatever we think it really is during our High School Years)” . You see this letter (picture, above) , this was written by my “High School Crush”, we shared 3 ½ beautiful years together (From Late 2011-Late 2014), we gave each cute nicknames, I called her “Girl” and she called me “Buddy”. However she was a grade higher (she was a sophomore back then and I was a freshman), unfortunately we never got to be anymore than friends - but this relationship made me learn a lot about what love is, and how our own perception of it can be different to others.  So you’re asking yourself “How did we meet?” , well it happened on a Friday Night, Football Game (December 2011, one week before Xmas break), I was sitting with some friends of mine, below me was “her”
