Man you gotta love a good 3d printed mask right?

i'm glad to hear other people acknowledge the absolutely amazing fights from the acolyte.

okay so I just came up with an explanation why the original trilogy and sequel trilogy have heavier feeling to their fights. the jedis were massacred so with them the technique slowly died?

the bakugan that pulled me into my love of it now is the first one I ever got................darkus platinum strength mode nillious ahh I still have him after 3 years

Anything that comes on spurs, are not kid’s toys.

This video hits deep in my heart . You got mu sub

Technic, old Bionicle parts, and going back in history, other option is shet for me

16:00 let's talk about it, does anyone know how a kid with cerebral palsy can launch a bey with one hand?

42:52 I'ma stop here quick and say lightsabers melt the insides that's why qui gon died and that's why you don't survive stab wounds but the disney stuff doesn't follows this rule. All the George Lucus star wars lightsaber duel that don't end in death only have slight grazes which in itself is a near death experience because of what a lightsaber is

8:45 *AND IIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUUU*

I was a Star Wars kid, through and through. But I fell out of love and got cynical about the IP. Then, my ex got me into Start Wars: Unlimited and I've found so much more enjoyment in Star Wars than I ever imagined. Low-key, Rebels is my favorite of all the Star Wars properties. Followed by the original trilogy and Andor. But look at those three things, won't you? They're all so different. But I love them all the same. It's sad that I needed a video essay to articulate that, but here we are lol

That looks like the logo of okada

Beyblade X is sus

It’s like if Boglins were designed to ruin clothing and carpets

Lego, please bring 'em back, I want to stop having The Dream

30:29 As a person with anxiety I go thru this on a daily basis

I was tricked into watching a video essay about toys, and I only realized after 15 minutes. I'm enjoying myself so I'm gonna continue anyway.

How do these things work? With a battery that charges? How long does the battery last?

Is there information about the music and sounds coming out of it? How about the music being played at 14:06? It sounds amazing there but as a hardcore fan I don't at this moment recognize it. Is the understanding that the music there is also from the original television series?

I can't get over the brilliance of the music from the Generation 1 playing from them!!! MINDBLOWING!!!

Do you have a playlist for the music in this video? That Faron Woods arrangment sounds sick as hell

didn't know i was gonna cry at a beyblade video

The first Bionicle I got was the white bohrok, I got it for christmas when I was 5 and I remember building it so vividly. Might be my favorite toy I ever got in all my childhood.

“Tubes too little” 😂

0:08 Do not use God’s name in vain Brother, may He Bless you abundantly, Amen✝️🙏❤️

I have Ultra Serpenteze... He's completely unrollable, with his four pairs of protruding bits and neck that doesn't want to stay down properly, so even rolling him along the central track his hard... But he's my perfect baby. He's my favorite.

44:30 once again I think you’ve missed the point. This fight especially evolves to the point where they are tired, but more importantly losing the will to fight, because they don’t want to kill each other. Plus I’m sure JJ avoided fast saber fights on purpose because of the dance like critique they got for the prequels. The fast fights are soulless. The rise of skywalker fights are incredible. They are telling a story, not just dancing around violently. Rey fights like a boxer, not a martial artist.

16:28 I am a Bionicle super-fan and NEVER knew this was something you could do. This explains everything about the design.

I don’t think Kylo and Rey are fighting sore because they feel the blades are heavy. They fight slow because they are untrained and use the sabers like baseball bats in a very angry style. Meanwhile Kylo is trained, but he has to slow down to match them because he’s not trying to kill then straight away. The original trilogy fights were always based around dialogue and a conflict outside of the fight. In the prequels it was just a pure fight once it started. The sequels brought back the OT style fights that would break for dialogue.

37:52 I thought that big jump in rise was incredible from a story telling perspective. Regular people look on at a distance as these beings fight, but then they leap into the air and it reminded you that these force users are something extra. And with all the waves crashing around them it was a truly operatic moment that is rare when we’ve seen impossibly fast saber fights that make us used to everything.

33:13 I thought the sequels did a good job of making saber fights feel more real and match the vibe of the original trilogy, but also be a bit more grand like the prequels.

37:13 I will, thank you

Beyblade X or Beyblade Cross?

Remember those cruddy bionicle stars sets? Do that but with professional quality builds like you see for aircraft or cars or that one tuxedo cat, that cost a few hundred bucks apiece and are meant to be displayed on a shelf. Do a Tahu, a Takanuva, maybe a Makuta, and some fan favorites like Matoro or Roodaka, and put them in giant metal cans. There, I've created a collector's item that will go down in history.

I never thought that 20 years later I'd be watching a recap of this movie with kazoo Evangelion music in the background. Truly the Great Spirit's wisdom knows no bounds.

Wow! A truly AWESOME KZbin video. 1/3rd in I turned this video off my phone and ended up turning it on my TV because this was not something to watch in the background. Awesome, even if you are totally wrong about The Acolyte, that show sucks dude…

Elfin's ball mode looks like Soundwave from Transformers Cyberverse

honestly i think geogan are pretty good in gameplay plus i have a diamond ventus viperagon geogan with 3500 b power i mostly like them for the designs and their incredible power

my favorite lil guy is lancer when i opened him i knew bakugan would never be the same

Cubbo reminds me of cubchoo from pokemon and whenever i see him i feel like hes missing a giant snot dangling from his nose

2:10 Hah! Hitchhiker's guide 💚

Leonidas was the one bakugan from the games I liked. Wish he was made when I was a kid.

Seeing those dead leds strips just brought back the most vivid memory of an amazing duel as a kid... good times.

Really interesting until it slowly got the vibe of "This is why my wife having a boyfriend is good for me actually" except that boyfriend is Disney.

Talk about a nostalgia trip - this video really transported me back to 2001. What a beautifully crafted geek-out.

5 years late to the party: I was 11 when bakugan came out. Me and my younger cousins came across Bakugan in the UK when it first appeared. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the Yu-Gi-Oh we had been playing religiously. Simple and fun: 3 gate cards, 3 ability cards, 3 bakugan. We stopped playing shortly before the game died off (i moved away, unfortunately). As an adult now, my young son came to me with a Bakugan recently. It blew my mind that they were still around. I bought him some, but something seemed missing from the bakugan themselves from a design perspective and with the game itself. The toys dont look like bakugan anymore. They look like actual creatures on pedastals, rather than the ball being their full form, and the minimalist design idea from 2007, where you could clearly see dragonoid was a dragon despite being blocky has been scrapped. The 2023 special attack bakugan is such a weird gimmick. The TCG itself is essentail unimportant and non existant. As a big Magic the gathering fan, LGS worker and former Yu-Gi-Oh regional participant, i decided to investigate and stumbled upon your channel Jett. Seeing the Bakugan TCG with the hexagonal magnets and 40 card deck seriously surprised me, as well as the design from battle planet for the Bakugan toy line. It looked fantastic. The Bakugan designs were quite appealing and the TCG was well designed, having a heavy emphasis on not only your deck but your ability to physically interact with game pieces keeping you engaged in the flow of play. The core gameplay loop looked addictive and fresh compared to what any other TCG was doing. I dont know what happened to that version of Bakugan or why they renewed the game to this current itteration or randomness and poor design. I can only imagine that they were sitting on a goldmine in the TCG space, but wanted to make a quick buck or two off toy sales. As you said in the video, Bakugan also appeared to suffer from "mechanical bloating" during Gen 1. Yu-Gi-Oh was, and still is, suffering from this massively, losing players constantly because of powercreep and newer faster mechanics being thrown in constantly. Kids are no longer playing or buying product, even longtime fans are bowing out now. Magic also has this with new keywords being printed on cards almost every set, diluting the game to "word soup". Yu-Gi-Oh is no longer part of the "big three" card games because of this. If Spinmaster really wanted to do this right, they could easily fall into that top spot. Bakugan absolutely needs to make a come back. My son loves this game, i loved this game growing up, and I've never seen people more on edge and more hopeful about a games return than this. Also, i hope you are doing well, Jett. You seem to have been making Bakugan content for a long time, and from a creative standpoint, it can not have been easy trying to find a direction to take you're channel in after the game changed so much. Good luck man

19:00 omg this reminded me of our foam tubing lightsabers! Our mom found a red and green nylon fabric to sew into a long sleeve to slide onto basically a pool noodle and then black duck tape held it down. My brother still has our homemade lightsabers and that duck tape has held for over 15 years now lol. We had the prequel ones but we weren't allowed to hit each other with them. So the pipe insulation foam tube was the compromise. We beat the shit out of each other with those. they were more sturdy than actual pool noodles so less wiggle when being held upright or colliding.

I have mixed feelings about the Disney era light saber fights. I *hate* that people can be light saber kebabs and still survive. That's just dumb. If you can't figure out how someone can survive a light saber battle, don't put them in a light saber battle. And I don't buy the argument that "it's fantasy". Yeah, it's fantasy, but even fantasy worlds have to be consistent. They have to follow their own rules. And I'm not against the fakeout death trope. I'm against *showing* a character having something happen to them that *should*, by the story's rules, be fatal. A good fakeout death is when you leave ambiguous what actually happened to the character (e.g., you see a character get thrown into water, but you never see the body float up). On the other hand, I like the fighting *style* in the sequels. I hated the dancing that they did in the prequels. When you're trying to kill someone, you need to be aggressive and brutal. I certainly understand that there's a certain cool factor to putting on a light show, but that's not what a light saber fight should be in a movie. That's what you want it to be when you're dueling with your friends, because you're not trying to kill anyone. :) But I agree with your final comments. Star Wars has gotten too big to be all things to all people -- especially when LucasFilm (to say nothing of Disney) is trying to hit multiple demographics. Skeleton Crew is not targeting the same audience as Andor, to take an obvious example, and The Mandalorian wasn't targeting Andor's demographic. I have to admit, I liked 2/3rds of the sequel trilogy. I think The Last Jedi might be the worst Star Wars film ever made, but I loved The Force Awakens as a return to form for the franchise after the dark days of the prequels, and while The Rise of Skywalker is far from my favorite Star Wars movie, part of the problem with it is that Abrams had to do damage control after what Johnson did to the trilogy. I liked the sequel trilogy light saber fights because they felt like there was actual danger. The prequel light saber fights held no danger for me because they were just characters dancing and not actually trying to hit each other.

Liked for the fun intro to beyblade; subbed for the deep and beautiful final message

need that soundwave tbh
