If you like what I do and want to show your support, please consider buying me a coffee As the DCU continues to crumble under the weight of its disappointing titles, one hero rises to add to the pile. Black Adam comes in as another generic superhero origin that isn't worth your time. Black Adam is freed... Continue Reading →
Series Review: The Umbrella Academy
Image Source I love the Umbrella Academy, and this new season did little to change that. It might not be the best season, but it still holds up against up well against the other shows in the genre. The Umbrella Academy is an orthodox way of looking at the superhero narrative. The show is about a family of... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Samaritan (2022)
Image Source Samaritan is Silvester Stallone's attempt at the superhero genre, and I have to say, it is pretty good. Sure the pacing was a little slow, but his unorthodox take on the genre was both refreshing and entertaining. I doubt it will win any awards, but if you have been curious about the movie, go...

Series Review: The Boys Presents: Diabolical (2022)
Source There were a lot of ads as well as Reddit posts that tried to generate hype for this series, claiming that it would canonically expand on The Boys universe. I also saw a few ads and posts trying to hype up the fact that the Awkwafina be involved in the series. I love Awkwafina so I... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review: The Boys
Source I know I am a bit late for this review, but I thought I would share it anyways. If you haven't seen The Boys on Amazon, I highly recommend it. The Boys challenges the traditional tropes of superheroes by satirizing the current American political climate. There are three forces that control the superhero narrative. There is a...

Movie Review: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Source I have mentioned this before, but I am not a huge fan of the MCU. That said, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a clear exception. I was not ready for the brutally compelling story I received. This is possibly the coolest live-action superhero movie I have ever seen. I hope Disney takes notes... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Morbius (2022)
Source I had completely forgotten about this movie, and after watching this movie, I understand why. This unimpressive addition to the MCU should have been left as an uninspired pitch on the story board. This movie fails to set itself apart from any generic bargain bin action movie despite its fancy packaging. While the acting... Continue Reading →
TV Show Review: Doom Patrol (2019)
Source Say what you will about DC movies, but DC TV shows are another beast. Usually, they tend to have strong starts with compelling narratives and characters, but eventually, they fall into the pitfall of prioritizing fan service and product placement over story. However, this might be a symptom of being on the CW. Some,... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review – The Tick
Source I want to try to sell you on a show that isn't going to be for everyone. The Tick is a superhero show that is available with your Amazon Prime subscription that isn't your typical MCU cash-in. The Tick is a parody of the genre and a good one at that. The show follows... Continue Reading →
YouTube Movie Reviews: Valentine: The Dark Avenger (2017)
Here we have a low-budget action movie that isn't worth your time, even for free. The acting is terrible, the action scenes are boring, and the plot doesn't make sense. I can excuse the lack of plot and poor acting in action movies when the action is fun to watch, but it's impossible here. The... Continue Reading →
