A Great Tragic Tale Of Advanced Capitalism, Cybernetic Enhancements And The Crushing Greed Of Duopoly | “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” Season 1 (2022) Netflix Series Review

In anime, the notions of being special and exceeding your limits in order to get stronger are popular especially in the pages of "Shonen Jump," where many mainstream anime find their start as manga. "Dragon Ball Z" and "Black Clover" are two poignant examples where exceeding one's own limits is a particularly important theme and plot... Continue Reading →

Diabolical | “The Boys” Season 3 (2022) Amazon Prime Video Series Review

I decided against doing weekly episode reviews for Season 3 of "The Boys," after doing do for Season 2; it's very clear that, despite the fact that Amazon decided to release the show this way, it wasn't written or tooled for weekly releases, and was best viewed in long stretches, like other bingeworthy shows. **Spoilers...

Solid Action | “The Mandalorian” Season 2, Episode 7 “The Believer” Review

I was a bit late getting this out, as I am still reeling by the amount of information Disney has released on future projects, some of which (mostly the "Star Wars" ones) I'm quite happy with. So far (one can only be so happy when we got little more than title cards of most of... Continue Reading →

It’s Officially Time To Hand “Star Wars” To Favreau And Filoni | “The Mandalorian” Season 2, Episode 6 “The Tragedy” Review

I just finished watching Season 2, Episode 6 of "The Mandalorian," and I'm at a loss for words as to how fantastic it was handled.

Butcher Strikes Back | “The Boys” Season 2, Episode 8 “What I Know” Review

*Spoilers Ahead* Finally, we've reached the end of Season 2. It certainly was a wild ride, and while I don't think it was as effective as Season 1, it's a solid continuation of what continues to be a breath of fresh air in the formulaic superhero genre. Safety first when fighting supervillains. The big spoilers... Continue Reading →

Black Noir Vs. Butcher, Homelander Vs. The World | “The Boys” Season 2, Episode 5: “We Gotta Go Now” Review

Season 2 further highlights that "The Boys" really wasn't suited for a weekly release schedule, as the show's story feels more like a really long movie than an episodic adventure. Spoilers ahead.
