T.V. Review: What If…? Season 1

Movies and T.V. shows sticking to the books never mattered much to me, because I see each new version as a shared conversation between makers and audience about the source material. What If, then is right up my alley. Season one starts with a series of theoreticals; What if Captain Carter Were the First Avenger? […]

T.V. Review: Ms. Marvel Episode 6: No Normal

With the djinn, kinda sorta defeated by their own hubris and Kamala’s family all set to Support, the only (obvious, because let’s face it Kamran is definitely sus) enemy thread left is the DODC. It’s great to see the whole community come behind Kamala in this episode, certainly a change from other super hero movies, […]

In episode 4 of Ms. Marvel Kamala and her mom travel closer to the source of the mysterious bangle bringing out her powers by visiting family in Pakistan.

Movie Review: Thor Love and Thunder

Movie Review: Morbius

Warning: This is going to be a rambling review from yours truly. My introduction to Morbius, the Marvel comics character was this dude: A character from the 90s Spiderman cartoon series. Unlike the other Spiderman cartoons, this one introduced Morbius, had Blade as a guest star, and I have to admit it, I was a […]

Graphic Novel Review: Ms. Marvel volume 3: Crushed

Kamala Khan continues her super hero adventures by training with Medusa and the Inhumans, and by foiling Loki’s attempts to be a good guy. The last volume dealt with some major villainy. This volume deals with (seemingly) smaller crimes, side quests, and the emotional fall out of being a super hero. Not all the Inhumans […]
