Well, I’ll say one thing: It’s hard to write a review of a television series when the writers essentially craft a finale that says, “We’ve heard your past complaints, anticipated your current worries, and course corrected to make them all moot.” Because that’s essentially what “Whose Show is This?”, the first season finale of She-Hulk […]

Ms. Marvel – No Normal Review
And just like that, Ms. Marvel is over (but fear not – she will return in 2023’s The Marvels, more on that at the end of the review). What a joyously fun ride this six-episode limited series turned out to be. Sure, there were some missteps along the way, but when the series stuck to […]
Loki – For All Time. Always. Review
So, it was Kang the Conqueror all along! Or rather, some version of Kang who saw the devastation wrought by his own Variants and took steps to orchestrate a universe in which such chaos and destruction would be banished from existence. I was on the “There’s no way they introduce Kang on a Disney+ show!” […]
Loki – The Nexus Event Review
If last week’s installment of Loki was all about character, “The Nexus Event” was all about plot. And with only two episodes remaining in the series, having an episode dedicated to pushing the series towards its climax was much needed – and incredibly well executed. Nothing brings me greater joy as a viewer and as […]
The Falcon and The Winter Solider – Power Broker Review
When I began recapping WandaVision, I wrote that I was worried the series would feel more like doing homework for the upcoming Doctor Strange film (since Wanda had already been announced as a key character for that film) than a standalone series. After all, why bother to make a TV show about MCU characters when […]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe: Worst to Best
It is a hell of a time to be a Marvel fan. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been dominating the box-office with many being critical darlings and financial successes. Marvel Studios has been able to release 23 films over the course of 11 years; so averaging two films a year. Because Marvel has been able to produce […]
Avengers: Endgame Review
It has come to this, after 21 films over 11 years Marvel Studios has now developed their most ambitious film yet with Avengers: Endgame. Avengers: Endgame takes place five years after The Snap, the event that wiped out half of all living things. The remaining Avengers are divided and at their lowest ebb. When Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) returns […]
Captain Marvel Review
It has been an annual tradition for Marvel to start the summer season and this year’s offering sees the Studio release their first female-led superhero film. Vers (Brie Larson) is a member of Starforce, a group of intergalactic special forces soldiers who go on missions to fight the shapeshifting Skrulls. On her first mission Ves gets captured but discovers […]
Ant-Man and the Wasp Review
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown to be a galaxy-spanning entity where billions of lives are at stake. The Ant-Man series acts as a counterbalance, offering smaller adventures within the universe. Following the events of the first Ant-Man film Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) are given hope that they can save the original Wasp (Michelle Pfeiffer) from the Quantum Realm. They […]
