Agents of SHIELD’s fifth season gets off to an unconventional start, being set not only in space, but in a dystopian future where most of the world is in rubble. That sounds like a spoiler, but that’s just the setting! Plus that doesn’t even include the Kree, who appear en masse here. So let’s have a look at this ten-episode arc that seemingly acts the prologue to the bigger story to tell…
Arrow Season 6 starts to fall into old patterns again, as Oliver’s life is once again turned upside down and he slowly “realises” he can only do this by himself rather than rely on allies… *sigh*… Still, there were some highlights, this isn’t Season 3 / 4 territory or anything, but I wish the writers would come up with something else to do to their lead other than constantly re-realising the positive effect of friendship…
The wrestling game rundown reaches its first handheld with King of the Ring for the Gameboy, and despite never really having played it that much (I’ve never been much of a handheld gamer…), I said this would be a rundown of every wrestling game I’ve played, so… Here it is!
Season 3 of Legends of Tomorrow manages to continue to be a legitimately funny adventure with a varied mix of heroes, though it doesn’t quite live up to Season 2, it’s certainly still far better than what it started out as. Some Legends leave, some new ones join, and generally everything is kept fresh and fun, with the odd bits of drama thrown in to the mix. It’s not perfect, but it was still always fun to watch every week. So without any more beating around the bush, let’s take an overall look at the season!
Legends of Tomorrow ends its third season with a big showdown against the powerful demonic entity known as Mallus, and boy… the showdown isn’t quite what you’re thinking right now. At all. Still, LoT is nothing if not unpredictable and funny, that’s for sure! So let’s have a look at these last three episodes…
Taking a break from the live action hero-athon that’s ended up happening this week, my review of Bleach manga volume 72 can be read HERE. We’re getting ever closer to the end…
So here we are at last. After 10 years of films and six years since Thanos first appeared on screen, the big pay off… or at least, the first half of the big pay off. To be honest they should have kept the Part I and Part II in the title like they were going to originally, but hey-ho, it’s still a hell of a two and a half hour ride full of amazing fight scenes, amusing banter and a surprisingly (and very un-MCU-like) fleshed out villain at the centre of it. Now more than ever, I’d skip straight to the “Overall Thoughts” at the bottom of the page and avoid all of this review under the *spoilers appear from here on out!* tag if you haven’t seen the film already…
So I’m going to watch Avengers: Infinity War tomorrow (or today, when this review goes up!) but I didn’t really have the time to watch a lot of MCU films leading up to it… in fact I just squeezed this one in, but still! Let’s have a look at Civil War, the film that could be argued as the real Avengers 3, though I feel that’s unfair given the focus is still very much on Captain America rather than the ensemble of heroes around him. It’s also the film that introduces us to both the MCU’s Spider-Man and Black Panther, the latter of whom’s solo film would turn out to be more successful than the former, which no one would have guessed a few years ago! So let’s dive in!
My review of ERASED – Part 2 (Episodes 7 – 12) is now up on Anime UK News and can be found HERE. It was a long wait between releases, but it was worth the wait, changed ending and all.
Season 4 of the Flash continues to feel fresh and interesting as Barry and co. have to fight The Thinker, a villain that outsmarts them at every turn, rather than being yet another speedster. It’s worked really well, as has the funny addition of Elongated Man to “Team Flash”. While not everything worked perfectly, these middle 9 episodes do a good job of moving the plot towards its end point. So let’s have a closer look then!
