Striking strength

EDIT

## Introduction

**Striking Strength** is the amount of physical force an individual can deal out in a single strike. In other words, it is the physical Attack Potency of an individual. It may or may not depend on **Lifting Strength**.

Striking strength describes the power behind the character’s physical blows. Generally, anything that has to do with the character’s actions instead of passively holding up weights is about this category. While lifting strength is a static value which can be measured in units of weight or mass, striking strength is different. It relies more on “action” which is a combination of speed and mass. As such, striking strength requires a whole different classification system.

For more specific information regarding the meaning of the terms, see our Attack Potency and Tiering System pages.

Please note that Striking Strength doesn't automatically scale from Attack Potency unless there are Feats suggesting otherwise. For example, if a character used their strongest energy blast to vaporize a city, it would only scale to their physical strength if they were able to harm opponents that can withstand the aforementioned energy blast, or vice-versa.

Following the same convention as Attack Potency, a "+" sign is used as "Mountain Class+", not "Mountain+ Class".

L'Homme à la Tête en Caoutchouc

***L'Homme à la Tête de Caoutchouc*** (eng. *The Man with the Rubber Head*) is a short silent film directed by and starring French cinema pioneer Georges Méliès and produced and released by his company Star Film in 1901. It is one of Méliès' most famous and appreciated works.

## Plot

A chemist is working in his laboratory, pouring chemical liquids in a bottle. Once he is over with that, he opens a large double door, revealing a completely dark room where a table with a smaller table with a rubber hose on it is. He takes both of them and carries them to the center of the laboratory, then takes a box from which he takes out a replica of his own head, capable of moving of his own, which he places on the tables.

He then sits on a chair next to the tables and notice how the head resembles his own. Suddenly, he has a stroke of genius, attaches the rubber hose under the small table, which presumably has a hole in, where the head is and begins to blow the head with a pair of bellows until it becomes as big as the huge doorway. In order not to burst it, the chemist opens a cock in the hose prompting the head to return to its original proportions.

Eager to share his discovery, the chemist calls one of his clown-assistant in and propose him to try it, too. The assistant, though, begins to thoughtlessly blow the head to gigantic proportions, deaf to the chemist's warnings, until it explodes in a cloud of smoke, knocking over both the table and the two men. In anger, the chemist literally kicks his assistant out of the laboratory. Alone, he begins to cry for the loss of the head, drying his tears on his apron.

## Why It Rocks

1. Groundbreaking use of special effects, super-imposition among them, that almost makes the whole movie look real.
2. Original concept that pushes to the limits of absurdity.
3. Due to its intrinsic surrealism, the subject of the movie causes a unique mixture of different emotions in the audience, mostly a sense of weirdness and fun and plain sadness.
4. Funny over-the-top recitation and mimic by Georges Méliès.
5. Georges Méliès magistrally directed himself in this short.

## Trivia

1. In the movie, a Star Film sign complete with logo is clearly visible on the left. This was Georges Méliès' method of ensuring copyright for his works.
2. This movie is referenced in the movie *Hugo*, released in 2011 and directed by Martin Scorsese, which is a homage to Méliès and his films.

## Video

Being in the public domain, the movie can be seen in its entirety for free on web sites like YouTube without copyright infringment issues. Here is one of the several uploading of the movie on the site, in quite good quality and music provided by the uploader.

Ithrax Producciones

## Why This is an Epic Animated Company Located in Mexico?

1. It is one of the few animation companies in existence today that uses the traditional method.
2. Founder Benito Fernandez says that in the future the name of the company could be changed to **Paper Dragon**.
3. Back in 2010 and with the premiere of Guardians of the Lost Code, was the first Mexican animated film to be released as it did not belong to one of the studios already known for selling films at the time (those were Ánima, Huevocartoon and Animex).

4. Originally, it would have been the first company to release an animated film made entirely in Mexico with *Sabel: Redemption*, but it was not released because the distributors at the time rejected the film with the sole excuse that the animation had to be for children and the tone of the film was too dark and risqué to be intended for a family audience.

Lionsgate (1997-mid 2013, late 2017-present)

## Bad Qualities

1. Just like Walt Disney Animation Studios and Sony Pictures Animation, The studio's reputation suffered a moderate decline in quality from October 2013 to September 2017, as many of their films around that time were either weak/bad/mediocre (i.e. *Postman Pat: The Movie*, *Power Rangers*, *Gods of Egypt*, *Hedgehogs*, *Smosh: The Movie* and their most infamous animated movies yet the *Alpha and Omega* sequels), with *The Hunger Games: Catching Fire* being the only good film around that time, To be fair, the decline was partially out of Sony’s control.

Heidi's Song

**Heidi's Song** is a 1982 American animated, adventure, drama, musical, family, children's film. It is based on the book, Heidi, by Johanna Spyri. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and directed by Robert Taylor.

## Plot

An little, orphaned girl named Heidi is brought by her aunt to live in the Swiss Alps with her grandfather. Heidi has a way of spreading happiness to others. But after a while, her aunt returns to take her to a city where a wealthy family lives and the girl becomes a servant. There, Heidi meets a wheelchair bound girl named Clara, who is sad and lonesome, looking to be friends and playmates with someone. In spite of the hardship that is Heidi's new situation, a plan is hatched to release her and later there's also a miracle that happens.

## Why Heidi Has Got A Song To Sing

1. Compared to most Hanna-Barbera TV animated series prior to this, this film has higher quality and much of the animation is the same. It's almost on the same level that Disney's theatrical animation usually is.
2. The writing is satisfactory enough. It has enough moments in this that parallel those in the novel, but simultaneously, it still has its own thing by adding moments that aren't in the novel nor in other adaptations.
3. Many of the character designs look good in their realism, even if they have that sketchy look to them that may had been caused by the Xerography technique used in several, other, animated films at the time.
4. Both sets of characters are good, the ones based on those from the original story are true enough to the original versions and fine in their own right. Those not based on any from the initial story are the same. Among others, Heidi is cheerful, friendly, and optimistic, never letting anything get her down no matter what. Majority of the characters are likable, distinctive, and memorable.
5. The musical numbers are outstandingly great show stoppers outdoing the background or incidental music. They add a nice touch.
6. A fantastic voice cast, which most notably included the late Sammy Davis Jr., who voiced King Rat, and his performance of "Ode To A Rat".
7. One of the highlighted moments is the Disney Acid Sequence during Heidi's musical number in which she has a bizarre dream about the monsters and other creatures her granddad told her about in a story. It uses the sequence to full effect perfectly well.
8. It has its comical moments in addition to the dramatic ones.
9. The dialogue turned out to be used well.
10. The pesky dachshund, Schnoodle, gets his comeuppance in the end for messing with another dog.
11. It has a good message of remaining positive and resilient despite a bad situation, and how things will work out in the end.
12. The ending is pleasantly satisfying.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. One of the characters not as likable is Schnoodle the Dachshund, but again, he does get his comeuppance in the end.

## Trivia

* This is one of Hanna-Barbera's three theatrically animated films based on literature released apart from one another in each decade. The others are Charlotte's Web (1973) and Once Upon a Forest (1993).

10. The ending is extremely heartbreaking.
11. Dumbledore's death became one of the most iconic, shocking and heartbreaking moments in the *Harry Potter* franchise.
12. This film is rated PG like the first 3 films, and they handled the switch back to kid-friendly very well for the most part. Especially since this is the last kid-friendly film in the series.
13. ***"You dare to use my own spells against me, Potter? Yes, I am the half-blood prince"***
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)

***Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla***, also known as *Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster* and *Godzilla vs. the Bionic Monster*. is a 1974 Japanese monster movie. It's the 14th film in the Godzilla franchise, and was preceded by *Godzilla vs. Megalon* in 1973 and succeeded by *Terror of Mechagodzilla* in 1975.

## Good Qualities

1. This is the first movie to feature Mechagodzilla, a fan-favorite villain of the franchise, who is a robotic duplicate of Godzilla with tons of badass weapons attached to him. Many consider him to be Godzilla's second biggest arch-enemy after King Ghidorah.
2. Amazing special effects for its time.
3. There's lots of clever foreshadowing to the ultimate reveal that the Godzilla at the beginning of the movie isn't the real one.
4. Incredible action sequences.
5. The best part of the movie is the final fight: Godzilla and King Caesar vs. Mechagodzilla. It's intense and a lot of fun, with Mechagodzilla actually having the upper hand for most of the fight despite being outnumbered two-to-one.
6. This film, along with its sequel, moved the *Godzilla* franchise back towards the darker tones of the first movie, as evidenced by the huge amount of violence and bloodshed.

## Bad Qualities

1. The movie introduces a new monster called King Caesar. While his name sounds cool, he only wakes up if you sing to him and his only purpose is to stall Mechagodzilla long enough for the real Godzilla to show up, ending up being a complete waste.
	* Not only that, but the song is incredibly annoying and it goes on for **way** too long.

## Reception

*Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla* has a 67% "fresh" critic rating and a 61% "fresh" audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 3.3/5 on Letterboxd, and a 6.4/10 on the International Movie Database (IMDb).
Hugo

***Hugo*** is a 2011 historical adventure drama film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese and adapted for the screen by John Logan. Based on Brian Selznick's book *The Invention of Hugo Cabret*, it tells the story of a boy who lives alone in the Gare Montparnasse railway station in Paris in the 1930s.

## Summary

In Paris in 1931, an orphan named Hugo Cabret who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.

## Why It Rocks

1. A very brilliant grasp at the source material and captures the adventurous and creative spark that Brian Selznick's novel (*The Invention of Hugo Cabret*) had.
2. Amazingly done character and story development with a very original plotline.
3. Many unforgettable, well-executed moments, such as when the station inspector chases Hugo around the train station and gets stopped by several obstacles on his way.
4. Wonderful cinematography and great camera workings.
5. Each and everyone of the actors have really out done themselves with their performances in this film, especially from Asa Butterfield and Chloe Grace Moretz.
6. Hugo's backstory of his father dying in an accident is very heartbreaking.
7. Hugo and Isabelle share very heartwarming chemistry with each other.
8. The station inspector, Guastave Daste, is an entertaining bad guy and has a nice reformation at the end of the film.
9. Likable and interesting characters, mainly the intelligent, adventurous protagonist, Hugo Cabret.
10. A well-done early 20th century setting/environment for the film.
11. It contains several references to and actual footage from 1900s movies, like *The Great Train Robbery* and *Le Voyage dans la Lune*, which will delight silent movie buffs.
12. It feels like a love letter to cinema.

## Bad Qualities

1. George Meliés was a jerk to Hugo at the beginning, as he took away Hugo's book to fix the automaton and burned it to ashes, thankfully though, it was just a magic trick. Despite this, we never get to see what happened to the automaton fixing book, however this can be understandable since Hugo didn't want to let go of one of his machines.
2. As mentioned on BQ #1, we never get to see what happened to Hugo's automaton fixing book.
3. Some scenes can be dark and/or scary for a family-friendly film, such as Hugo's nightmare, his backstory where his father died due to a fire, the scene where Hugo almost gets killed by a train, and the scene where Hugo hangs from the clock in order to escape the station inspector to not to go to the orphanage.

## Reception

The film currently holds a 94% "Certified Fresh" rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes based on 213 reviews, with an average score of 8.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "*Hugo* is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids' movies, and one that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema." Metacritic gave the film an average score of 83 out of 100, based on 41 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

## Overview

She is the Principal of Abalax world Academy

## Appearance

A beautiful lady with blonde hair and blue eyes that looked to be in her late 20s walked towards the podium coming from the backstage. She was wearing white shirt, black skirt, black stockings, black heels and a black blazer. It was a simple and exquisite business suit that befitted her status as the Principal.
Frosty the Snowman (1969)

***Frosty the Snowman*** is a 1969 animated Christmas television special based on the song "Frosty the Snowman". The program, which first aired on December 7, 1969 on CBS (where it continues to air annually), was produced for television by Rankin/Bass Productions and featured the voices of comedians Jimmy Durante as the film's narrator (Durante's final performance in a film) and Jackie Vernon as the title character. Despite airing on television, it was the last cartoon TV produced during the Golden Age of American Animation.

*TV Guide* ranked the special #4 on its *10 Best Family Holiday Specials* list.

## Plot

A discarded magic top hat brings to life the snowman that a group of children made, until a magician named Professor Hinkle wants it back and the temperature starts to rise. Frosty will melt or no longer be a jolly soul, if the kids cannot get him away from Hinkle and warm weather, so he hops on a train to the North Pole with young Karen.

## Why It Rocks

1. A nicely executed story about a journey to the North Pole.
2. It stays true to the original song that the special was based on.
3. Really great animation.
4. Jackie Vernon was great as Frosty the Snowman.
5. June Foray was great as Karen, and so was Suzanne Davidson, who re-dubbed Karen's voice roles from the 1970's and then on.
6. Jimmy Durante was great as the narrator of the special.
7. Plenty of funny moments.
8. **Happy birthday! Hey! I said my first words!**
9. "Now, give me that hat, or else." "Or else? What?" "Well, don't bother me with details. **GIVE ME THAT HAT!**"
10. That very emotional scene where Frosty melts in the greenhouse and Karen watches him die away onscreen right in front of her by crying.
11. Some actually music.
12. When Frosty comes back to life is well done.
13. Ended the Golden Age of American Animation in a higher note, despite being a TV cartoon film.

## Bad Qualities

1. Frosty constantly saying "Happy Birthday" when he comes to life (While creative idea) can get admittedly annoying at times, but if you put it together, he comes to life on the day before Christmas, which is Jesus's birthday.
2. Although a rather minor issue, the recast for the kid characters aren't very good, it's really weird how after the special first aired on TV in 1969, the original voice auditions for the kid characters (especially Karen's voice given by June Foray) are now available in the soundtrack album of the special instead of being kept in both TV broadcasting and on home video as originally heard on TV, but with the new voice cast lines for the kids were being maintained from the 1970s and then onward for all future TV broadcasts and on home video releases when VHS tapes were growing to existence.

## Trivia

* This was Jimmy Durante's final film before his retirement in 1970, and his death on January 29th, 1980, eight years later.

Dredd

*Dredd* is a 2012 American science-fiction action movie made, based on the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd.

## Plot

In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.

## Good Qualities

1. A MAJOR step up from the horribly misguided 1995 original, having faithfulness to the source material while also adding in it's own unique spin on the world.
2. Karl Urban is much better than the over-acted Stallone of 1995, giving us the Judge Dredd we always wanted to see.
3. Excellent action scenes with slow motions.
4. There's also plenty of excellent practical effects throughout that look amazing.
	* On top of that, the 3D special effects are very good (though when watched in 3D).
5. Ma-Ma is an interesting villain despite she was not based from the 2000AD comics, played with exquisite creepiness by Lena Heady.
6. Anderson is an interesting opposite to Judge Dredd. While Dredd is dedicated to upholding the law no matter what, bordering on obsession, Anderson is able to see between the lines. It also brings in the question of whether or not somebody who was forced to abet criminals deserves to be punished themselves.
7. The movie is formatted like a video game (as writer Alex Garland had started out writing video games), which gives it an awesome style and excellent pacing.
8. Judge Dredd's helmet is never taken off this time. That's right, a moment that ruined the original was thankfully not repeated. He is briefly seen without it, but is luckily shadowed out.
9. There are even some corrupt Judges at one point, which fulfills the fantasy of seeing Judge-on-Judge action.
10. Awesome soundtrack.
11. Great environments that feel futuristic, present day, and sufficiently grungy for the Dredd-universe. It manages to be faithful to the source material while also bringing plenty of unique aesthetics, as seen in the Judges' new, less bombastic, and awesome costumes.
12. "Ma-Ma's not the law, I am the law."

## Bad Qualities

1. The movie was a bomb at the box office (perhaps due to the original). Though it did get sequel potential from financial aid by the company, it's unknown if a sequel will ever be made.
2. The constant SLO-MO effect, while great to look at, can get pretty tiring as it happens in almost every scene.

Killer Bean Forever

***Killer Bean Forever*** is a 2009 American computer-animated action film written, produced, and directed by Jeff Lew, starring Vegas E. Trip, Bryan Session, David Guilmette, Matthew Tyler and Jeff Lew. It was preceded by two web shorts: *Killer Bean: The Interrogation* in 1996, and *Killer Bean 2: The Party* in 2000. Taking place in a world of anthropomorphic coffee beans, the film's plot follows a bean assassin named Jack "Killer" Bean, who is sent to hunt down a crime boss, while he himself is hunted by mercenaries and the police.
Hollywood Shuffle

**Hollywood Shuffle** is a 1987 American, comedy, parody, satire film. The production company behind this was Conquering Unicorn and it was directed by Robert Townsend, who also produced and starred.

## Plot

An aspiring, up-and-coming, American black actor named Bobby Taylor eventually gets a callback to act in a movie after auditioning. But when the time comes for him to portray his character, he isn't quite satisfied with the way the character behaves nor is he comfortable with taking on the role. He must decide what's more important: Sell out his integrity to please the movie executives or do what he feels is right.

## Why It Rocks

1. The cinematography looks good with its high quality.
2. The writing is well-done in its cohesion and coherence. There are moments in the film that go back-and-forth to the main plot with Bobby and the subplots that make up the parody segments.
3. A lot of characters who are not only likable but provide plenty of laughs as well. But the most notable one is Bobby himself.
4. The actors played their roles convincingly. It's an even bigger achievement with those who portrayed multiple roles and how well they were able to switch them up when required.
5. The background or incidental music is well-organized and played flawlessly.
6. Many good parodies that appear in Bobby's fantasies, like the Rambo parody, Rambro, even though that's brief.
7. It provides some deep insight into the way blacks have been portrayed and stereotyped negatively in movies as well as how they deserve better roles rather than being typecast.
8. Some witty jokes and lines of dialogue.
9. It served as sort of a launching pad for some, certain members of the cast who would later go on to other things, like three of the Wayans siblings and Anne-Marie Johnson, all of whom would co-star in the urban sketch comedy show, In Living Color, just three years later.
10. It's relatable to the black demographic, especially some of whom may be aspiring thespians themselves.
11. The message of being and staying true to oneself rather than false for others is what really matters in the end and the sacrifice made is worth it.
12. For the aforementioned WIR #8, #11, and #12, it still remains relevant today.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The practice of the double standards between black/minority actors in general and whites is still going on today.
