It’s been a week since the finale for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law dropped and after rewatching the episode, I still enjoy the finale as much as I did the first time. Instead of sticking to the formula developed by the other Marvel TV shows, She-Hulk tore down the fourth wall and made some changes. What … Continue reading “She-Hulk” Episode 9 Review
The penultimate episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law spent a good amount of time setting up something wonderful for Jennifer Walters, only to take it all away in the last few minutes. I have to give the writers of the show credit. For what has largely been a situational comedy up to this point, the … Continue reading The Devil You Know – Review of “She-Hulk” Episode Eight
The slower pace of the new Disney Plus series Andor allows the audience to soak in the characters showcased. From Mon Mothma, to Luthen, to Cassian Andor, we get to see each person in their element. Much of the fifth episode, titled “The Axe Forgets”, focuses on Cassian and the Rebels on Aldhani while cutting … Continue reading Fraying at the Edges – Andor Episode 5 “The Axe Forgets” Review
The first three episodes of Andor set up and then paid off the initial arc. My expectations for the next episode were sky high. The fourth episode of the first season, titled “Aldhani”, picked up where the previous episode left off. The writers set the wheels in motion for more surprises. I was also excited … Continue reading The Wheels Are in Motion – “Andor” Episode Four
Prequels are not always the best type of storytelling available, unless it is set far enough back that it doesn’t involve characters we already know. Because we know the ultimate fate of the character Cassian Andor (thanks to the excellent Rogue One film), we as the audience know that he’s ultimately going to survive the … Continue reading A Methodical Opening Note – Review of “Andor” Episodes 1, 2, & 3
The limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi is nearly complete. “Part V” of the series reveals more about Reva, the Third Sister, while also putting Obi-Wan Kenobi on a direct confrontation with Darth Vader for the final chapter of the story. More than anything, this episode is about sacrifice and the consequences of the sacrifices people choose … Continue reading Sacrifice and Consequences – Review of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Part Five
With two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi dropping on the same day, I felt it was easier to break up the reviews by episode rather than do a single review for both. Part Two of Obi-Wan Kenobi finds our erstwhile Jedi hero traveling to the planet Daiyu to rescue the kidnapped Princess Leia Organa. While there, … Continue reading A Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy – Review of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Part Two
Source: IMDB After the heavy lifting of the previous episode, Star Wars: The Bad Batch shifted to a more adventurous romp with “Cornered”, the latest episode to drop for the first season. Focusing primarily on the Batch and Omega as they encounter a familiar bounty hunter (at least familiar to the fans), the episode’s main … Continue reading The Batch and The Bounty Hunter – Review of “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” Episode Four “Cornered”
The finale for Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight was everything I expected it to be and a little bit more. Bringing the story of Marc Spector and Steven Grant to a good spot (while still sparing room for potentially more stories), the episode “Gods and Monsters” provided a fitting end cap for this serialized adventure story. … Continue reading The Plans of Gods and Men – Review of Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight” Episode Six “Gods and Monsters”
Source: IMDB When you live with mental illness, it’s often not an easy thing to differentiate reality from not-reality. Shows that deal with mental illness like Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight use this question to throw audiences a curveball every now and then, sometimes to ill effect. The latest episode of Moon Knight, titled “The Tomb”, … Continue reading What is Reality? – Review of Marvel Studio’s “Moon Knight” Episode Four “The Tomb”
