Well, there we have it. The origin story of the MCU’s version of Wiccan, a character with complex origins in the Marvel comics (although all of them do intersect with Wanda Maximoff in some fashion). And while it was pretty close to what most folks online had guessed – he was once William Kaplan (and […]
I was luke warm on Shrinking back in early 2023 when it premiered. And now, having watched the final four episodes of season one in preparation for watching the first six of the upcoming second season, I see more of what the series was trying to do in its uneven initial series offering. That’s a […]
For the first time in its run, this episode felt almost incomplete. Sure, we had a couple of interesting (and sad) revelations within it, but this particular task didn’t have the same heft as the previous two* and even though we lost another member of the coven (and Rio got another body for her troubles […]
So, let’s get the big reveal – the one everyone assumed was coming, and that was more or less confirmed earlier this season – out of the way up top. The Stranger is Gandalf (or a Grand Elf . . . but really Gandalf). And yes, per Tolkien, Gandalf shouldn’t be in Rhûn at all […]
Well, I think we can put together just what went down between Rio (or is it Blackheart?*) and Agatha all those years ago – leading to their estrangement and everything that has happened to Agatha since. And even without that major revelation, this was a stellar installment of Agatha All Along, providing a number of […]
And there we have it: The Siege of Eregion, the major battle this season has been leading to from the moment Sauron first arrived there, disguised, and convinced Celebrimbor that it would be an absolutely exceptional idea to forge some rings to send out to the Dwarves and Men. Because those three Elven rings turned […]
Fare thee well Mrs. Hart, we hardly knew you. And, judging from that final line of the episode, neither did Agatha, whose selfish needs brought you on this trip and led to your unfortunate death. However, the death of Sharon means that the coven is now in need of a Green Witch – preferably the […]
As someone who never got around to watching Matt Reeves 2022 take on the caped crusader The Batman (you know, the one with Robert Pattinson taking on the titular role in a darker, less polished version of the character), I was worried that I would be a tad lost when I sat down to sample […]
This week’s installment of Rings of Power felt a tad overstuffed – even if it desperately needed to hit on all those plot points and locales in an attempt to draw the various storyline threads together as the series approaches the end of the season. And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing from a […]
I’ll wholly admit to being skeptical about the decision to launch a spin-off of the exceptional – and, frankly, best MCU television series to date – WandaVision centered about Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness when it was announced. I mean, what was there to say about the character, whose revelation – and snappy song – was […]
