In an episode full of secrets and factions that are fully invested in a small town, Jon is proving to be even more worthy of the ring than Hal. Our boy Hal is proving that privilege is playing a clear role in how he operates as a lantern and that gets him in a lil bit of hot water. We get the introduction of our actual big bad and this villain could literally be anyone. Our question for you is how…
In the season two finale of X-Men ‘97, many questions have been answered, ultimate sacrifices made, and a major setup for season three was revealed in post credit scene. There was one glaring aspect of the first season that is missing from the entirety of this season and it’s possible we never get that back. And in true X-Men fashion, we have some new love and love conquering all. What was your…
We are at the end of House of the Dragon season three and we end with The Treasons at Tumbleton and it was a fiery end. Our factions were divided between Kings Landing, Harrenhal, and the aforementioned Tumbleton. There were some major acts of futility, causing many of our characters to shift from how they’ve been moving. Dragons, blood, fire, devastation, betrayal, tragedy, and that’s only a…
Chaos and alliances run rampant in House of the Dragon season three, episode seven. In the penultimate episode of the season, we see all of our factions scraping and vying for some semblance of control. The Tumbleton crew adds a couple of pieces on the board, Mysaria gets to munching, Alicent’s kids are going through it(her too), Rhae is trying to some visions for direction, bros want the same…
Spider-Man Brand New Day swings into theaters and we saw the Thursday showing! The movie was packed with die hards, dressed in merch and full on Spider-Man suits. We get some surprise characters, an origin story, and a return to form for one of our favorite MCU characters. This story clearly has him reeling from the death of Aunt May and the death of his friendships with Ned and MJ, while he makes…
X-men ‘97 season two episode seven takes us back to the Savage Lands as Exodus is the leader of a cult that has Magneto as its martyr. X-Corp and X-Factor are having problems working together, even though they have the same goals. There are some serious family ties with the children of Mystique on full display and in normal X-men fashion, we have a budding romance forming. What do you think is…
House of the Dragon gets rid of the character who’s been hating since season one and the fandom rejoices. Aside from that, a lot happened and it was a ridiculous amount of misaligned agendas and assignments. Rhaenyra and the throne are having problems, Aemond can’t be original while being trapped at the castle, Ulf and Hugh are stupid, and we get some relational relations. Oh yeah, Alicent is…
House of the Dragon season three, episode five has all of our parties coming to some major realizations, while some characters are operating with a serious amount of gall. Ormund is making money and kings, Crispy Cole is making uninspired speeches, Rhaenyra is still trying to convince the kings that she’s the queen, Daemon is clearly on his own mission with the Gold Cloaks, Halaena and Alicent are…
The Odyssey 2026 is the definition of an epic! This star studded cast, with Christopher Nolan at the helm, takes what we think is the absolute interpretation of this 3,000 year old text. We marveled at the sheer majesty of this filmmaking experience and try to explain how much we loved this and the one thing we had to ding for very obvious reasons. What was your favorite part of this amazing epic?…
X-men 97 is doing a great job, again, because we have several past storylines that have been woven together in one solid episode. Wolverine takes center stage as he has to deceive a team of mercenaries and Morph so he can regain his former adamantium glory. People die and Logan shows his true colors: cold, reflective metallic gray. Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube😊 IG:…
Lessons learned and the machinations made play a key role in HOTD S3:E4. In an episode filled with people reverting back to their old ways and surprisingly showing compassion, one person made a lasting impact: Ormund Hightower. It’s made clear that the generational trauma is being handed down like freckles and the kids can only make decisions based on what they’ve learned. Can we just blame…
As we conclude the two-part episode of the origin of Apocalypse, we see Magneto convince his frenemy Charles to go along with his goofy plan of tricking En Sabah Nur to find a way home. Of course this doesn’t work, and the ramifications of Charles withholding information comes back to bite them in the butt. Kang reveals himself in the funniest way, while Magneto tries to correct his wrongs.…
The drama filled, timeline breaking X-Men are back and trying to get back to 1997. Between hanging out with En Sabah-Nur, dodging Apocalypse, and hunting down Four Horsemen, our X gang is dispersed throughout time trying to make everything go back to normal. Are you excited about potentially having two major villains confronting each other and the X-Men by the end of the season. Please! Subscribe…
