Before I get into the process of breaking down the finale (and really, the entire arc the series took Loki on this season), I wanted to make it clear that the writers absolutely did right by the character with how and where he ended this season. The realization by Loki that he needs to be […]

Loki – Science/Fiction Review
Say what you will about this season of Loki (and I certainly have over my previous reviews), but you cannot say that Tom Hiddleston hasn’t left it all on the pitch this season with his portrayal of the titular character. Sure, the story has been way too centered on the mechanics of time travel rather […]
Loki – Heart of the TVA Review
Well, that was unexpected. Although, after an episode that highlighted the various ouroboros instances that have occurred throughout the series thus far (OB creating the TVA manual from Victor’s notes while Victor created his notes from the TVA manual and Loki finding his past self to prune him so that his current self could continue […]
Loki – 1893 Review
Well, that was a bit of a mixed bag of an episode. On the one hand, we finally got a better idea of just what Miss Minutes has been up to (and, as many guessed, she was indeed up to no good), along with how Ravonna Renslayer fits into the story after a couple episodes […]
Loki – Breaking Bad Review
Now that felt like the best of Loki. From the excellent character pairings (I’m really enjoying Rafael Casal’s X-5) to the not all that complex story arc within the episode (although I’m still a bit hazy on why the multiple timelines is ok when having them throws the entirety of existence into question*), “Breaking Bad” […]
Loki – Ouroboros Review
After two years and change away, the Norse god of mischief is back for more timeline jumping and pruning with season two of Loki. And considering the state of the MCU in the time that he’s been off our screens, well, his return couldn’t have come soon enough. With the series adding Oscar winner Ke […]
Secret Invasion – Home Review
So, if the radiation at the Skrull compound was so intense that Gravik expected Fury to be a shaking mess even with his iodide pills, just how were all those captured humans able to survive hooked up to the machines for that long? Does pumping them full of iodide keep them alive? Or would there […]
Secret Invasion – Harvest Review
So help me if Sonya Falsworth turns out the be a Skrull at the last minute in next week’s Secret Invasion finale (although I certainly wouldn’t be shocked with the way the series has kept her character and her motivations shrouded in some secrecy). But, at this stage of the game, with one episode remaining […]
Secret Invasion – Beloved Review
“Beloved” made clear two glaring issues with Secret Invasion that its writers (and Marvel) appear perfectly content to simply ignore. First, the narrative structure of the series is a complete mess. In order to have a cliffhanger last week, the writers were keen to ignore a key plot point (and a really cool, important one!) […]
Secret Invasion – Betrayed Review
Sigh. G’iah, we hardly knew ya. (Seriously, thanks to an utter lack of character development and a narrative that has been so concerned with showing us various plots to get humans to kill off each other that are so thinly developed that we only hear about them moments before their execution so we’re half in […]
