Comparisons and similarities of JONAS LA ep. 9 and Lizzie McGuire ep. 41

Frankie and Macy together in JONAS LA ep. 9, "Direct To Video". (Pic credit: All Disney Gossip)

To begin with, this is my ONLY fave JONAS LA episode to boot and nothing else. the reason is the sub-plot of Frankie crushing on Macy for no reason. here's the recap of the said plot:

When The Lucas trio's dad visits them, Frankie was left to be taken care of by Macy since Stella fell ill while the Lucas Brothers go on a meeting with their father. what began as a babysitting job becomes a crush effect for Frankie towards Macy. Frankie dressed in a tux for Macy, making her go in awe and to distract him from falling for her, she tries many ways to make him think less of her but fails, even Macy saying that she is taken, which Frankie counters with "then may the best brother win". however it was Macy's horrible cooking that finally stops Frankie and they were over. Macy's last words after that? "I'm Free!"

Sounds familiar? you could say it was. because an episode of Lizzie McGuire, "Working Girl", has a similar thing: Matt crushing on Miranda, which ends with Melina "saving" him from Miranda instead of something Miranda did (since she was powerless against Matt's crush). It might be even a shout out to the said episode. so here's the similarities 1st:

1. Both Frankie and Matt are younger sibs of the main characters, and are 9 years old.
2. Both of them have a crush on the girl member of the main cast.
3. Both woo the girls with many ways (Matt giving Miranda homemade gifts and flirting with her, Frankie sweet-talking Macy and Frankie planned to make her a Macaroni Necklace).
4. Both are deaf to the girls' attempt to "drive them away" (Matt ignoring Miranda's oblivious dislike for him and Frankie deaf to Macy's "I have a boyfriend and he's your brother" explanation).
5. Both Macy and Miranda are portrayed by Fil-Ams (Nicole Anderson and Lalaine, respectively). might be a factor why they liked them.

and then the comparisons:

1. Frankie's crush on Macy ended when she baked cookies... badly. Matt ended his when Melina came and retrieved her away from defenseless Miranda.
2. Frankie was dressed up nice for Macy. Matt went a bit up with a planned date with him and Miranda, which she had no choice but do.
3. Frankie did not have someone to keep encouraging his "Crush". Matt has one in Gordo since Gordo was entertained with Matt's crush.
4. Frankie didn't care about Macy having a boyfriend- his own brother. Matt however, has a bit of jealousy in Gordo, thinking Miranda was dating him.
5. Frankie fell for Macy instead of Stella, and could be because she hugged him first. Matt fell for Miranda after giving him advice.

Frankie and Matt may be different, but they know how to get the girl... even if it's just one episode only. =]

Was Miley failing in the love game?

Seems like Miley's not so smiley these days.
In fact, she recently told sources that's she's no longer the trusting girl she used to be. "I'm always thinking, 'are you going to tell my secrets?' It's tough," Miley Cyrus said. "When I was younger, I would trust everyone... I find it very hard to trust people now. I definitely protect myself a little more. When people do sweet things for me, I start to think things like, "Ok, what do you want? Are you doing this because you love me or because you need something?' I'm a little hard. But that's just the way my life is."
Aww, Miley! Cheer up. Maybe your budding relationship with Douglas Booth will help you trust people again?

Kamen Rider's influence on Super Sentai

Kamen Rider seems to influence Super Sentai to a certain extent. Like how? Well here are some:

In some series, men wore jackets and rode motorcycles like the Kamen Riders in civilian form. Clearly proof Toei is porting ideas between franchises.

One may also observe that both Kamen Rider and Super Sentai have Anime hairstyles as of present.

Bioman's Peebo looks like a Kamen Rider (crossed with C3P0) except he's a robot.

The monsters are just obvious. For example, the Destron monsters apparently influenced both Dynaman and Jetman primarily and other series secondarily. Animal-based monsters are the most common. Well if I elaborated this, it'll be too long an article.

Boukenger's Gaja in some way, IMO seems to have some shapely resemblances to the Great Leader of Kamen Rider (the pointed hat anyone) in the very first series aside from the Fuhrer of Goranger. Also the name Gordom may be a tribute to the name GORGOM in Kamen Rider Black.

The Questers kind of look like Kamen Riders themselves than they do with Sentai mecha IMO.

The Goseigers use Gosei Cards, similar to Kamen Rider Ryuki. Even the henshin devices are kind of similar.

Gosei Knight in Goseiger looks so much Kamen Rider to me.

Possibility of a Miley+Demi duet...

Demi Lovato recently shared which singer she might team up with for a future song, and it's none other than her bestie Miley!
"We talked about doing a duo together, like an acoustic or something. That would be really fun to do with her. She's one of my best friends and she's super talented, so I'd love to have her on the album," said Demi, who is currently singing with the Jo Bros on the Camp Rock 2 tour.
If Demi and Miley do make a sing together I think it'd be cool. What do you think? Should Miley and Demi sing a song together?

OOO and W Movie Taisen title comfirmed

To those who remembered, it was announced after Kamen Rider W FOREVER: A to Z - The Gaia Memories of Fate that there will be an upcoming Movie Wars film this December. Now, the title of the film is now confirmed! It will be Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Taisen Core.

The film is said to premiere this December 18. Aside from that, you can order some merchandise related to the film as early as December, but this is not our main focus for this film. Early rumors circulating about how the film will be like, and here are some of them.

- Phillip uses the Lost Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Cyclone. Akiko transforms into Skull. Terui is on a business trip.

- Sokichi's first request was to stop a bomb in Futo. The story how he obtained the Lost Driver will finally be told. A young Akiko will appear.

- OOO finds an armor medal a sword medal.

- The final enemy is a Dopant who finds a medal. Skull, Double and OOO will cooperate.

- Kamen Rider Baasu appears. He uses an installation henshin system. Baasu's eyes are not circular, but U shaped, (colored black) and he looks very original, something unlike any other hero before. The lower half of his "U" eyes glow red, and he almost resembles Hakaider, complete with a capsuluar head.

- Sonozaki Fumine (Shroud) and Narumi Soukichi are childhood friends.

- Their partner seems to be played by Tarou Yamamoto (or this could be the character's name)

- "San Dopant" is mentioned, as are Bat and Spider.

- The movie will be more serious than comedic, and it seems as though it will bring Akiko to a darker place as well.

Aside from that, we have found some early production photos for the upcoming film!

Seiji Tekaiwa in W HeatJoker suit fighting what seems to be a Dopant or Yummy Pterodactyl. It seems that the videos circulating of a possible OOO Dinosaur Medals are really true. But why is it to be purple?!

Kamen Rider OOO OP, Henshin and Fight!

Finally, here's the highly awaited opening theme from the 12th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider OOO, entitled Anything Goes by Maki Ohguro. The single will be released on November.



Kamen Rider OOO just stated airing this morning and we can now finally see how Eiji Hino transforms and fight as a Kamen Rider, with the help of a floating hand named Ankh.



Kamen Rider OOO's default form, the first one he used is called TaToBa Form, a combination of Taka (hawk), Tora (tiger) and Batta (grasshopper). He then later used TakaKiriBa Form, which in turn a combination of Taka, Kamakiri (mantis), and Batta.

One-Shot Sentai senshi

Super Sentai had some one shot rangers that appeared. They are:

I wonder if Yatori in Bioman counts. Maybe not. You decide.

Ryo Asoka/X1 Mask- He only appeared in episode 39. He was the prototype Maskman. However I don't count him as the first sixth ranger but just another ally. I kind of thought that his one-shot existence gave Super Sentai the idea to push through the creation of the sixth ranger and beyond.

Lisa Teagle/Deka Bright only appeared in episode 40. She was Tetsu's mentor with a seemingly antagonistic attitude at first. First female one-shot ranger. She was once stern and nearly emotionless until she learned that passion can be a good thing in fighting crime. IMO she is more awesome than X-1 Mask. Shows that women can be good in fighting.
