Hideo Kojima & Gabe Newell Give Energy To Goku In Dragon Ball Video

A new Mega64 video that tells the Majin Buu Saga from Dragon Ball Z in five minutes features gaming icons Hideo Kojima and Gabe Newell giving Goku their energy for a Spirit Bomb, along with other gaming and Internet personalities. Mega64 has gradually been recreating the Dragon Ball Z Sagas in five-minute skits, with both the Frieza and Cell Sags completed years ago.

Mega64 is among the longest-running YouTube channels, with its earliest videos being uploaded back in 2006. The channel has uploaded different "Sweded" videos over the years, which are brief retellings of different video games and anime, including Final Fantasy VII, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Metal Gear Solid. The first Dragon Ball Z Sweded video was "The Frieza Saga in 5 Minutes" from 2015, where the multi-episode Dragon Ball Z Saga was retold with cheap costumes, toys, The Lord of the Rings-style perspective tricks, and plenty of fast cuts. It was followed by "The Cell Saga in 5 Minutes" in 2018, which is the most popular video on the channel to date, having garnered over 11 million views.

A new video on the Mega64 YouTube channel retells the Majin Buu Saga in five minutes, which involves battles that took place across multiple episodes happening in a matter of seconds. The Majin Buu Saga ended when Goku was able to use the Super Spirit Bomb to defeat Kid Buu, which required the people of Earth to give their energy to the attack. In "The Majin Buu Saga In 5 Minutes" video, this involves gaming personalities like Hideo Kojima and Gabe Newell helping to power up the Super Spirit Bomb, as part of a series of cameos.

Kojima and Newell weren't the only ones to help Goku, as in "The Majin Buu Saga In 5 Minutes," the Super Spirit Bomb was also helped by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and PlatinumGames founder Hideki Kamiya. The video also features cameos from different Internet personalities, including James Rolfe (better known as the Angry Video Game Nerd) and Scott Wozniak (Scott The Woz). Kojima, Newell, Kamiya, and Sakaguchi have all starred in Mega64 videos in the past, so it's not too surprising to see them return to the channel for brief cameos.

"The Majin Buu Saga in 5 Minutes" video marks the end of a seven-year journey, as all of the major Dragon Ball Z arcs have been abridged, and the video ended with a tone of finality for the series. This isn't to say that Mega64 couldn't come back in a couple of years and start shortening Dragon Ball Super, as there is plenty of material in that series that can be lampooned. It's possible that the YouTubers and gaming icons of the future can help power the Universe 7 Spirit Bomb against Jiren.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
