Minority Mindset

I’ve always wondered about something ever since the Resurrection ‘F’ movie came out in 2015. Why is Frieza already wearing his armor when he’s reborn? It’s a little odd because normally, when he reaches his Final Form, he doesn’t wear any armor. But when we first met him on Namek, he did wear something that looked a lot like the Saiyan Battle Armor. So it’s always been confusing to see him reappear in the Golden Frieza saga already wearing it.

The film Wagon Master first gained recognition in 1957 as the inspiration for the popular television series Wagon Train, which aired until 1965. Later, in a 1967 interview, director John Ford revealed that Wagon Master, along with The Fugitive and The Sun Shines Bright, were his most cherished films because they best reflected his original artistic intentions. Over time, critics and scholars have come to share Ford’s view, recognizing Wagon Master as a classic Western. The film is celebrated for its beautiful imagery and its exploration of timeless themes like humanity’s relationship with nature, the formation of communities in the American West, and the ongoing quest for progress and civilization.

Scott Derrickson, the director known for films like Doctor Strange and The Black Phone, signed on to direct The Gorge in March 2022. His involvement suggested the film would deliver fresh and exciting horror. The screenplay was penned by Zach Dean, who also wrote Deadfall and The Tomorrow War. Despite its potential, many viewers felt the movie was weakened by an abrupt shift in genre and a confusing ending. With a few changes, The Gorge could have been a standout romantic horror film.

Even with its flaws, The Order still stands out as a prime example of what a high-quality werewolf show can be. Unfortunately, other shows – both within the werewolf genre and the wider world of supernatural fiction – haven’t quite managed to achieve the same storytelling excellence.
