Color me impressed: It’s hard to pull off as complete a premiere episode as Ms. Marvel did last week – one where the characters are clear, distinct, and interesting and the cast already feels at home in their skin. But to do it again with the second episode of the series – a point where […]
When Obi-Wan Kenobi was about to be released, much was made in the TV critic sector over claims from star Ewan McGregor that the series would be a “six-hour movie.” Now, for TV critics, hearing a star or a showrunner make such a proclamation is hardly new – it is a constant refrain, especially when […]
Joy. That’s the word that came to mind again and again while watching “Generation Why,” the first installment of the new MCU/Disney+ miniseries Ms. Marvel. Bright, fun, and honest, the coming-of-age story of Kamala Kahn (the future Ms. Marvel of the title) already feels like a different journey in the Marvel universe. More analogous to […]
Well, we’ve reached the midway point of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and things are already starting to ramp up for the final showdown (or, rather, this final showdown – since we all know that actual final showdown will happen in about nine years) between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Now that we’ve seen just how determined Anakin remains at […]
What a fitting end to a disappointing series. In fact, it was such a disappointing ending that I genuinely didn’t realize it was the end of the episode until the credits began rolling – that’s how anticlimactic and messy the episode was. We were robbed of the true showdown between Moon Knight and Harrow/Ammit that […]
Well, the penultimate episode of Moon Knight was far more concerned with explaining just what turned Marc Spector into Steven Grant than it was with taking steps to solve any of the key narrative arcs the show set-up at its outset. Which is all well and good, if you were looking for an MCU series […]
Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss the issue of LGBT representation in film and TV
When starting a new series, there’s, understandably, a good deal of world and character building to complete before the story can really get underway. After all, if we don’t care at least a bit about our central characters and understand who they are and what they want, how can we appreciate the dangers, drama, and […]
We’re a third of the way through Moon Knight and I’m starting to think the shine is already wearing off the apple with this one. Taking into account that this is essentially an origin story mixed with an world-saving adventure (which I think might be a bit more than can be covered within a six […]
After one episode, I’m convinced the only reason Moon Knight will succeed – if it succeeds – is due to the charisma of Oscar Isaac. Because, despite what appears to be a pretty insane premise (man with dissociative identity disorder ends up possessed by an ancient Egyptian deity – who is voiced by F. Murray […]
