She-Hulk has officially arrived in the MCU in the form of a half-hour comedy – another first for the MCU – with the always great Tatiana Maslany taking on the dual role of Jennifer Walters, human attorney at law, and She-Hulk, the green alter-ego who Jen maintains remarkable control over despite her cousin Bruce’s (yes, […]

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 […]
Thor: Love and Thunder Review
Thor is one of the important members of the Avengers and he has done something Iron Man and Captain America couldn’t do and earn a fourth solo film. This film sees the return of a significant character and potentially Thor’s greatest threat. Since the events of Avengers: Endgame Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has gotten back in shape and […]
Ms. Marvel – Time and Again Review
Well, it appears I was correct in my guess as to just what Kamala was going to do during her journey to the past – help create the stars that would send Sana to her father, thus setting in motion her own future. A bit of a time travel paradox and all that, but still […]
Ms. Marvel – Seeing Red Review
One of the things I love so much about Ms. Marvel is that it’s not simply concerned with putting the pieces in place for the next MCU installment. Sure, we’re getting to know a character who will be involved in at least one upcoming MCU film (2023’s The Marvels, although should the bangle turn out […]
Ms. Marvel – Destined Review
Three episodes in and Marvel finally lets us in on just what is going on with Kamala and her bangle – but not without also giving us another wholly delightful, well-written, and smartly acted episode of television around that particular piece of exposition. This is how you tell a limited story, folks. We learned a […]
Ms. Marvel – Crushed Review
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 […]
Ms. Marvel – Generation Why Review
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 […]
Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters Review
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 […]
Moon Knight – Asylum Review
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 […]
