Marvel Zombies Failed To Keep Things Consistent Marvel Zombies fell so far with this third episode. Every bad habit of the series, it seems, rushed out to the forefront, and the main thing to enjoy ends up being the gore. Not the animation—that’s often awful, full of plastic faces and stiff action scenes. The creative… Read More »

Marvel Zombies Is Certainly A Bombastic TV Series The second part of Marvel Zombies impressed me because of how weird it is, even compared to the first episode. The series really has become the bloody, gory toy box I talked about before, where Marvel characters are put in totally new frameworks. That doesn’t—somehow—make these episodes… Read More »

Considering how episodic the events of the first episode of Marvel Zombies are, it seems only fitting to review each part of this four-part mini-series on its own terms. The first episode certainly gives us a lot to talk about. But the overall story is not one of those things. Because Marvel Zombies gives you… Read More »
“Deep Trouble” Has Two Great Ideas Put Together I loved “Deep Trouble” in theory. I liked it in practice. There’s a difference between conceptually enjoying the decisions made and having the delivery be only okay. Let’s take the fear domain, for instance. Somehow, a submarine going through the ocean managed to combine so many different… Read More »
“Pipelines” Somehow Isn’t A Bad Magnus Episode Let me be clear. I hated three big things about “Pipelines.” I hated the re: being repeated so many times in a row. Some of the emails are so short that it’s actually ridiculous to include those—damn any verisimilitude. Secondly, I hate that the actual horror moment, the… Read More »

What are The Conjuring: Last Rites reactions saying? Reactions to the film began showing up on social media today, and the overwhelming… Read More »
“Temporary Positions” Is Great For Mystery Lovers Maybe this is just because I’ve listened to a lot of Magnus, and am going off patterns, but the series does have a habit of outright stating something after it was possible to mostly have figured it out. And that’s what “Temporary Positions” feels like. It’s a clarifying… Read More »
“Repetitive Strain” Doesn’t Have Enough Runtime “Repetitive Strain” is mostly only brought down from excellence by the statement not having enough time. I love that the episode keeps matters mostly focused on one plotline, while also progressing it, but I was intrigued and increasingly horrified—and then the story stopped. Like, I don’t recall many Spiral-style… Read More »
