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 […]
“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!) […]
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 […]
Well, two episodes into Secret Invasion and it appears that only Olivia Colman is having any fun with the rather crazy and outlandish story we’re in the middle of. Her unrestrained glee at getting to torture the captured Skrull operative certainly brought some energy to a rather uninspired episode of television. If the series can’t […]
I have very high hopes for Secret Invasion, the latest entry in the now sprawling MCU – a series that has had far more misses than hits in the last couple of years. Billed as an espionage series and starring a murderer’s row of incredible actors – Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick […]
Ant-Man gets his third solo film with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This time the character finds himself in a big sci-fi adventure. Since the events of Avengers: Endgame, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) has published an autobiography and in a relationship with Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly). Scott’s daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton) has become a political activist […]
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is the 2022 Christmas offering from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kraglin Oboonteri (Sean Gunn) tells the Guardians of the Galaxy about the time Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) tried to celebrate but was prevented by Yondu (Michael Rooker). Mantis (Pom Klementieff) becomes moved by this story and sets out to […]
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 […]
Ok, point made, She-Hulk. You already know all the theories people were going to have about your sudden turn into the superhero world after a season nicely ensconced in the legal comedy with a side of superhero hijinks realm. I will fully admit that I laughed out loud when Jen broke the fourth wall to suggest […]
And there it is. The MCU connection (outside of, you know, the obvious green cousin and giant green client) for She-Hulk. Now, that’s not to say that there weren’t some fun, comedic moments within “The Retreat” – because there absolutely were – but with only two episodes remaining (and a promised Daredevil appearance still to […]
