One common criticism of Marvel films is that they're very formulaic with relatively little stakes due to the fact that we more or less know that each film's main heroes will probably make it out OK, and the villain won't achieve their goal (outside of "Avengers: Infinity War"). But since the second "Guardians of the... Continue Reading →

With Episode 9, "WandaVision" is over (at least for now; it's not impossible we'll get a Season 2 down the road). And its finale (titled "The Series Finale") was pretty good. Spoilers ahead. It's been quite a journey. While I still am not a fan of its weekly release schedule -- and I stand by... Continue Reading →
If there's one thing I trust Kevin Feige and company to do, it's give us a good superhero origin story, and Episode 8 of WandaVision gives us precisely that for our protagonist, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) AKA Scarlet Witch. Spoilers ahead. Wanda, who first appeared during "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as a side character, got... Continue Reading →
As promised, Episode 6 of "WandaVision" has revealed a little bit more about the anomaly in Westview, N.J., created by Wanda Maximoff (Elizebth Olson) AKA Scarlet Witch. And that's just about all the episode offers us: a crumb of information. Spoilers ahead. This week's episode mimics conventions of modern day sitcoms like "Malcolm in the Middle", and...

This should go without saying, but spoilers ahead. Coming out of Episode 4, the truth behind WandaVision's mystery became a little clearer, as we learned that S.W.O.R.D. Agent Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) successfully infiltrated what appears to be a pocket reality in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) AKA Scarlet Witch has trapped the residents of...

After three very weird and cryptic episodes in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizebth Olsen) AKA Scarlet Witch and Vision (Paul Bettany), who's been dead since 2018's "Infinity War", have been in sitcoms that parody aspects of shows from the 1950s-70s, we get a breather/explainer episode in Episode 4 "We Interrupt This Program." Spoilers ahead. The episode... Continue Reading →
I recently re-watched "Avengers: Endgame," only to realize I never did a formal review on the film when it came out. In fact, I haven't reviewed any "Avengers" films on this site. So I thought it would be fun to see if the film holds up, close to two years after it was released. And... Continue Reading →
After watching the first two episodes of "WandaVision," Disney Plus' first live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe show, I was very confused and not completely sold on the format, which parodies a different decade of sitcom every episode, starting with the 1950s. I was told that it gets better by Episode 3, which was provided to critics... Continue Reading →
I knew "WandaVision", the first live action MCU Disney Plus series, would be weird. But I didn't expect to be baffled by it two episodes in. It's been a while since we've had a mainstream entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the last film we've got being July 2019's "Spider-Man: Far From Home," so it... Continue Reading →
