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 →
Best Episode Yet | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 8 “Previously On” Review
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 →
We Got Ourselves A Villain: “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 7 “Breaking the Fourth Wall” Review
We enter the final stretch of WandaVision's presumably only season with Episode 7, and Wanda Maximoff's (Elizabeth Olsen) TV reality is starting to fall apart. Spoilers ahead. We're apparently in the 2010s, as this week's sitcom part of the episode pays homage presumably to "Modern Family" (and I think "The Office"?). Vision (Paul Bettany) has... Continue Reading →
Another Crumb Of Information | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 6 “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” Review

Showing Its Hand | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 4 “We Interrupt This Program” Review

Spoilers ahead. The episode... Continue Reading →
Endgame Highlights Interconnected Storytelling We Took For Granted Before The Pandemic | “Avengers: Endgame” 2019 Movie Review
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 →
This Should’ve Been Released With Episodes 1 & 2 | “WandaVision” Season 1 Episode 3 “Now in Color” Review
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 →
What? | “WandaVision” Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2 Review
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 →
