Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “Bad Magic”

“Bad Magic” Takes Too Long To Get Its Plot Going I was so concerned during the first half of “Bad Magic.” Nothing seemed to be happening. Riri was sitting in her trauma, and getting increasingly paranoid, but I was genuinely worried that nothing would push the plot forward until the next episode. But then the… Read More »

Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “We in Danger, Girl”

“We in Danger, Girl” Elevates Every Major Plotline “We in Danger, Girl,” could best be described as the consequences episode. Many, many plotlines set up over the last two episodes are all collapsing in. Basically, nothing is going right for the characters—and it was the perfect choice for this show. Because—as I’ve already complained—it’s really… Read More »

Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “Will the Real Natalie Please Stand Up?”

“Will The Real Natalie Please Stand Up?” Breaks It “Will the Real Natalie Please Stand Up?” is a terrible continuation of Ironheart. It has a lot of fun moments.

Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “Take Me Home”

“Take Me Home” Is A Great Way To Start A Series Ironheart’s first episode, “Take Me Home,” is one of the best opening Marvel episodes I can recall in terms of engagement. You get basically everything you need to attach to the story and get excited to see where it goes. Unlike Daredevil: Born Again,… Read More »

Hello Tomorrow! Doesn’t Need Its Gimmick

[embedded content] Hello Tomorrow! Starts With An Intriguing Premise Hello Tomorrow! is perhaps one of the most unique sci-fi shows to come out in a long time. It’s got such an odd combination of factors that somehow come together to deliver an engaging drama and mystery revolving around a big, central question. But, unlike a… Read More »

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld: Part 2 – Cad Bane

Tales of the Underworld Fails To Improve Its Story Tales of the Underworld didn’t stick the landing. The second part—the Cad Bane part—is not nearly as good as Asajj’s section. The action isn’t as interesting, dynamic, or even as intense. Lightsaber fights are just way cooler than blaster standoffs unless you try really, really hard.… Read More »
