What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 145

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Street Fighter III: New Generation Revisited – Way back in 1994, I had a blast of fun playing Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) plus other Street Fighter II games in the arcades. Naturally, I had a personal anticipation for Street Fighter III. However, Capcom released Street Fighter Alpha (Street Fighter Zero) and follow-up games over the next few years. In the 1st quarter of 1997, I saw Street Fighter III: New Generation in the local arcade and quickly inserted tokens to play it. I was very impressed with its super-smooth animation and enjoyed it. Still, something about the game felt hollow and weird as well which is related to the fact that Ryu and Ken were the only established Street Fighter characters who returned. Indeed, there was something odd that happened behind the scenes at Capcom when Street Fighter III: New Generation was made. Watch and learn from the videos below.

#2 EOM Reacts’ Saving Private Ryan Video – Twenty-eight years ago, Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan was released in cinemas and eventually achieved both critical and commercial success. While its story was not true to life nor a solid record of World War II history, its presentation of the extreme violence of the era and American brotherhood captivated a lot of moviegoers. To find out how much impact the movie has on anyone who views it, watch EOM React’s reaction video below.

#3 Farm-Raised Eels Launched In Japan – In Japanese cuisine, eels are a popular delicacy and they make a great choice of meat to consume with rice. Due to the sharp decline of eels at sea, farms that spent a lot of time and resources of breeding eels provided the alternative for Japanese demand. That said, farm-raised eels were commercially launched recently for public consumption and you can learn so much more about them in the Nippon TV video below.

#4 Shenmue Retrospective – Shenmue, the most defining game ever released on the short-lived Sega Dreamcast, has long been featured in countless articles and retrospective videos over the past twenty-six years. Under the leadership and design of the legendary Yu Suzuki, Shenmue turned out to be a very groundbreaking video game when it comes to exploration, adventuring and interactions with characters (including non-playable characters or NPCs) and items. Now is a good time to look back at Shenmue with the in-depth retrospective video below. Viewing it felt like an adventure.

#5 You, Me And The Movies React To The Philadelphia Story – When was the last time you saw a romantic comedy film released in the 1940s? The 1940 movie The Philadelphia Story is notable not only because it was nominated for several Academy Awards (it won two) but also because it was the successful comeback of actress Katharine Hepburn who had several failures. To find out if The Philadelphia Story is truly impactful and worthy of preservation in the United States National Film Registry, go watch You, Me and the Movies’ reaction video below.

#6 Ashleigh Burton Reacts To Lethal Weapon 4 – What is there to say about 1998’s Lethal Weapon 4? It is the one film that has Asian superstar Jet Li as the action-packed villain. In addition, it marked significant changes in the respective lives of Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) when it comes to family matters and getting old as law enforcers. I can hardly believe it has been twenty-eight years since I first saw this movie in the local cinema and it was indeed a thrilling viewing experience. To see if it still has any entertainment value and impact, watch and learn from Ashleigh Burton’s reaction video below.

https://youtu.be/aruSpkxOeMQ?si=ObpagaUU0UijyRlH

#7 The 2003 California Recall Election Revisited – Decades after former actor Ronald Reagan led the state of California as its governor, another actor got elected to the same position via a recall election…Arnold Schwarzenegger! Back in 2003, the incumbent governor Gray Davis was very unpopular and a lot of Californians got fed up with the many problems that affected them. When the move to recall Davis grew tremendously, several people filed their candidacies for Governor of California but it was Schwarzenegger who outmaneuvered them. Given the fact that he starred in three Terminator movies – all of which were filmed in California – he would later be called as “the Governator” after taking office. To find out what really happened and what the factors were behind his recall election victory, watch the in-depth video below.

#8 The Remake Trend Of Video Games – Like Hollywood, the video game industry has an obsession with remaking video games. The difference is this…the obsession on remaking video games is pretty strong as video game publishers need something “new” to sell to gamers while their other game projects could not be completed fast enough. Still, there is something twisted or intriguing behind the game companies’ focus on remaking games and you can find out more by watching the video below.

A Look Back at Street Fighter #1 (1993)

Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A. No. 8293, the Revised Penal Code, and/or all applicable legal actions under the laws of the Philippines.

Welcome back, superhero fans, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Street Fighter fans, retro gamers, Malibu Comics enthusiasts and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1993 to examine the official comic book adaptation of the wildly popular video game Street Fighter II.

While the original Street Fighter game of 1987 did not achieve huge success in the arcades and on consoles, it literally started the ball rolling for Capcom as the game itself influence other arcade game developers to focus more on making beat-them-up games and the use of special moves appealed to others. Capcom went on to release Street Fighter II in the arcades and it came with a dedicated fighting game design that strongly lured in gamers to play it in huge numbers. After selling 200,000 arcade cabinets, SFII went on to become a huge seller on game consoles. Capcom even went on to produce new versions of the game – popularly referred to as upgrades – culminating with Super Street Fighter II Turbo in 1994.

As Street Fighter II kept on attracting countless players into the arcades worldwide, Capcom approached Malibu Comics (publisher of the Ultraverse).

“Capcom came to Malibu because we know how to do it—we’ve handled licensed properties before and done very well,” said Tom Mason in the opening message of the first issue of the Street Fighter comic book adaptation.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at Street Fighter 1, published by Malibu Comics in 1993 with a story written by the late Len Strazewski and drawn by Don Hillsman. This was the first issue of a planned mini-series.

Early story

The story begins some time in the past when Ryu permanently scars Sagat on the chest with his Dragon Punch during street fight in front of many. Enraged, Sagat tries hard to retaliate against Ryu who happens to be the champion among street fighters. The Japanese fighter hits the tall Thai kickboxer with a barrage of kicks.

The past fight was played on home video and viewed by Sagat and Balrog. Embarrassed by the video, Sagat destroys the TV and asked his companion why must he be humiliated. After Balrog tells him not to talk that tone with their superior Bison, Sagat hits the American boxer. As the fight between the two intensifies, Bison arrives and stops the violence. He tells Sagat that he is an embarrassment to his organization.

Bison reminds them that he took them into his criminal network and still have not redeemed themselves in front of him. He tells the two that they must beat Ryu and regain the street fighter championship.

As Balrog and Sagat express difficulty in finding and fighting Ryu, Bison tells them the Japanese fighter’s friends are Chun Li and Ken…

Quality

Back in 1993, I even contemplated buying a copy of this comic book locally when it was brand new. I’m glad I chose not to buy it back then as this one has bad quality in its presentation from start to finish. Dedicated Street Fighter II fans should be warned.

For starters, the storytelling is not faithful to the lore of Street Fighter II even though the creators derived key elements of characters from the game itself. That said, it looks like liberties were taken in order to form a narrative that can be told in comic book format.

Chun Li here is correctly described as an agent of Interpol and is motivated by revenge over the loss of her father who was killed by M. Bison. And yet, she is portrayed here as having a romantic relationship with Ryu and has been training with him along with Ken in the past. The romantic relationship between the two never existed in the popular video game and it is established in Street Fighter II lore that Chun Li came from a different martial arts background while Ken and Ryu trained together under the same master.

Ryu in this comic book is the defending street fighter champion (reflecting the canonical story of Street Fighter and Street Fighter II) who is responsible for the huge scar on Sagat’s chest. While Ryu is the wandering warrior who travels around the world with only a duffel bag as he seeks the true way of the fighter, in this adaptation he is a reigning champion who starts having doubts when Chun Li lectures him over his devotion to fighting as life changes for others around him.

While the liberties are notable and could be insulting to dedicated Street Fighter II fans, the story of this comic book is surprisingly readable. As Ryu is the target of Bison and his criminal network, it made sense for dangerous pawns Sagat and Balrog to go after Ken to get to the Japanese fighter. There definitely is a plot here and if readers can ignore the actual lore of Street Fighter II, it can be followed and the classic concept of good versus evil will be realized.

As for the art, the work done by Don Hillsman is lackluster. While he excelled in making Balrog look scary early in the story, his visual takes on the other Street Fighter II characters range from bad to passable. Ken, Ryu, Sagat, Bison, Vega and Chun Li all have that rough look on their faces and bodies. Hillsman even tried to emulate special moves from the game but ended up looking sub-par. Lackluster artworks like these only add to the perception of the fans and other people obsessed with Japanese culture and the arts that Western illustrators should not draw Street Fighter characters.

Conclusion

I am glad that I never bought Street Fighter #1 (1993) brand new decades ago. Its quality is really bad and clearly it has not aged well. Street Fighter fans – especially those obsessed with Street Fighter II games – should look elsewhere to enjoy the tale and concepts of Street Fighter II. This comic book from Malibu Comics is a creative failure and was the start of the eventual collapse of the publishing deal made with Capcom. Can you just imagine the shock the Capcom executives had when they first read this comic book? Ultimately, this comic book adaption was creative catastrophe which is a shame because Malibu Comics had a good record of licensed projects and the late Strazewski (died on April 27, 2026) was one of the finest writers and creators on the Ultraverse line of comic books.

Overall, Street Fighter #1 (1993) should be avoided.

Street Fighter au cinéma : Paramount dévoile un casting spectaculaire pour 2026 (PHOTOS)

La franchise culte de jeux vidéo Street Fighter s’apprête à revenir sur grand écran avec un film en prises de vues réelles. Paramount, Legendary et Capcom unissent leurs forces pour offrir une production ambitieuse, attendue le 14 octobre 2026. Le film promet de marier hommage aux classiques des années 90 et modernité pour une nouvelle génération de spectateurs.

Un tournage ambitieux pour un univers légendaire

Une adaptation fidèle mais modernisée

Le prochain film Street Fighter est actuellement en production sous la direction de Kitao Sakurai. Il ambitionne de retranscrire l’énergie et la frénésie de la saga originale tout en proposant un récit contemporain. Tourné en IMAX, le long-métrage s’annonce comme une expérience visuelle immersive, fidèle à l’esprit des combats et des personnages emblématiques qui ont marqué des millions de joueurs à travers le monde.

Une histoire ancrée dans les années 90

L’intrigue se déroule en 1993, lorsque les célèbres combattants Ryu et Ken Masters, longtemps séparés, sont rappelés pour participer au World Warrior Tournament. Chun-Li, mystérieuse et déterminée, les recrute pour ce tournoi impitoyable où s’entremêlent rivalité, destin et affrontements spectaculaires. Au-delà des combats, le scénario mettra en scène une conspiration mortelle qui obligera les héros à affronter non seulement leurs ennemis mais également leurs propres démons.

Un casting digne des légendes du jeu

Des stars pour incarner les combattants iconiques

Le film réunit un casting prestigieux mêlant jeunes talents et figures établies. Andrew Koji endossera le rôle de Ryu, tandis que Noah Centineo donnera vie à Ken Masters. Callina Liang incarnera Chun-Li, et Joe « Roman Reigns » Anoa’i se glissera dans la peau du redoutable Akuma. Du côté des antagonistes, David Dastmalchian interprétera M. Bison, Cody Rhodes sera Guile et Curtis « 50 Cent » Jackson incarnera Balrog.

Des apparitions inattendues

Le projet promet également des surprises pour les fans avec Jason Momoa dans le rôle de Blanka, Orville Peck en Vega et Olivier Richters en Zangief. Hirooki Goto, Rayna Vallandingham, Alexander Volkanovski, Kyle Mooney et Mel Jarnson complètent le casting, incarnant respectivement E. Honda, Juli, Joe, Marvin et Cammy. Cette distribution massive illustre la volonté de Paramount et Legendary de créer un univers riche et fidèle aux fans de la saga.

Une production qui allie spectacle et immersion

Des combats spectaculaires et chorégraphiés

Le tournage en IMAX permettra de capturer l’intensité des affrontements et la complexité des mouvements emblématiques des personnages. Le réalisateur Kitao Sakurai s’engage à restituer la précision et l’énergie des combats tout en offrant une narration fluide et captivante. Chaque duel, chaque mouvement de poing ou de pied devrait refléter l’essence même du jeu vidéo, pour le plus grand plaisir des spectateurs.

Une sortie très attendue

Prévu pour le 14 octobre 2026, le film Street Fighter est déjà l’objet d’une forte anticipation parmi les fans de la franchise et les amateurs de cinéma d’action. Paramount et Legendary espèrent capitaliser sur l’héritage des jeux vidéo et leur popularité mondiale pour créer un événement cinématographique majeur. L’association avec Capcom garantit également que l’univers et les personnages respectent l’esprit original, tout en introduisant de nouvelles intrigues et interactions inédites à l’écran.

Vers un renouveau de la franchise

Un hommage à la saga originale

Au-delà de l’action, le film se veut un hommage aux classiques des années 90, respectant l’esthétique, les rivalités et l’esprit des premiers jeux. L’histoire de Ryu et Ken, entre amitié et rivalité, promet de captiver aussi bien les nostalgiques que les spectateurs découvrant la franchise pour la première fois.

Une passerelle entre fans et nouvelle génération

Cette adaptation ambitionne de séduire un public large : les anciens joueurs retrouveront leurs personnages favoris dans un cadre cinématographique grandiose, tandis qu’une nouvelle génération pourra découvrir l’univers Street Fighter à travers une expérience visuelle et narrative renouvelée.

Le film Street Fighter s’annonce comme une production ambitieuse, mêlant hommage et modernité. Avec un casting impressionnant et des combats en IMAX, Paramount, Legendary et Capcom préparent un événement majeur pour le cinéma d’action en 2026. Les fans attendent avec impatience de découvrir la confrontation entre Ryu et Ken dans un tournoi épique.
