Voss was my Favorite Indiana Jones Death in the Franchise

 


I love how the Indiana Jones franchise is known for having over the top deaths. While the Dial of Destiny gave us a cool concept, I felt like the death scene of the main two villains was pretty lackluster. Just when I thought the Indiana Jones franchise was over, I was surprised to see a continuation through the videogame format. I thought this was an interesting take for the Indiana Jones franchise, and I was so impressed by the game: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, due to the incredible story that we got. It felt like I was watching the original trilogy, and it was even more awesome to learn that the game's events take place after the first film: Raiders of the Lost Ark. 

The first film featured raw and gruesome deaths, and I was not expecting to see another brutal death again after the first movie. The death of Voss in the game was so INSANE, and it was brilliantly made by the developers of the game, bringing to life another over the top villain death. Toward the end of the game, like many other villains within the franchise, he refuses to listen to reason when it comes to the multiple warnings by Indiana Jones. He was determined to gather 17 stones that would unlock a portal connected to Noah's Ark, and it does not go well for Voss. 

After he fights Indiana Jones twice, and attempts to take out his other two companions, Voss freaks out when he sees one of Indy's sidekicks trying to take control of Noah's Ark. Voss gets in front of the wheel, and again, he fails to listen to the warning of stepping away from the wheel. The portal opens up THROUGH the body of Voss, as he screams in utter pain. He is STILL ALIVE as the portal is opening up through him, and then he burns to death. The way that he screamed was so raw and real, the voice actor did a phenomenal job conveying his pain to the audience. It was over the top in the best way, and I didn't realize how badly I missed these kinds of deaths in the franchise. 

This was such a creative death for Voss, similar to the brutality of how the three main villains had been killed in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was even better to learn that both the artifacts from the first film and the game were connected in some way, making the death of Voss pay off more in the end. 

His death is by far my favorite one. Voss was an excellent villain who like many others in the franchise, had paid the price for his actions. 

Bastard deserved his death, but damn, that was a gnarly way to die!

The Final Season of 'You' Ends on a Powerful Note

Image
  Credit to Google This article will contain major spoilers of You season 5. I am beyond thrilled with how You ended. People have always been mixed on what they think of this show, but I have always loved the insanity of this crazy serial killer.  Joe Goldberg is such a complex character who thrives on the power of love and is willing to do whatever it takes for the next woman he falls for.  He never hesitates to murder anyone, including his love interest. If she stops loving him, he will not hesitate to murder her. That is the main reason why Joe is freaking scary. He will be your knight in shining armor, but once that image of love is taken from him, he will show his true nature.  I loved how the final season focused on Joe’s evil self. While the first four seasons purposely viewed his character sort of like an antihero, the final season does not hold back on Joe’s evil side. We get a new glimpse into his character this time around, because in the earlier seasons,...

Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

‘The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit’ is an Animated Cartoon that is Absolutely Terrifying

Image
  Credit to The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit will be released on VHS, November 29th!! : r/Thewaltenfiles I’m not sure if any of you have heard of a cartoon/analog horror on YouTube known as The Walten Files, but damn, does everyone need to watch this standalone story known as The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit . The story follows a group of kids on Halloween who are curious to investigate a house known as The Murder House. The group of kids (the kids are actually animals) don’t realize what sort of horrors await inside of the house…and damn…it ends up turning into a fight for survival. The kids are hunted by two people known as the Waterson's, a sheep and a rabbit, (yes, a sheep and a rabbit) who terrorize these poor children. And damn, these deaths do not hold back. One of the few scenes that broke me was when one kid refused to enter the house. He made all of the smart decisions, and he is the first one to die. The pumpkin rabbit appears, and the way he walks toward him is nightmar...
