That was A LOT OF FIRE!

Agents of SHIELD In The High Castle has been better than Secret Empire. https://mattthecatania.word…

This show could've had both in one package if it had gone with Steel instead.

Why did they recast Firefly?

The first Guardians of the Galaxy may be my favorite MCU movie. This may be because it felt like a Farscape relaunch, the clearest parallel being Star-Lord retooled to be more like John Crichton. That cameo pleased me! https://mattthecatania.word…

Rhea basically says “I was betrayed when my son ran off with a trollop. Since you betrayed your own stepmother, you should go into business with me as my surrogate replacement child!” After being emotionally manipulated by Lillian Luthor repeatedly this season, Lena still agrees to go into business with someone who…

Did Roma enchant Carrie Coon’s character so she couldn’t be detected by electronic sensors just like the X-Men? Is she really a mutant in a stealth Legion crossover? Perhaps the series’ sci-fi subtext (next season better be aboard space-station Fargo in 2555!) is just a distraction from her being a supernatural…

This was a ripoff of The Cell minus all the stuff I love about The Cell. Even the undiluted The Cell shouldn’t be a challenge for the Maid of Might since she’s pals with Martian Manhunter! https://mattthecatania.word…

This episode gave me major Hannibal vibes, not that I mind.https://mattthecatania.wordpress.co…

I really hope Barry solves the problem caused by time travel by traveling back in time again to reboot the timeline into one without Savitar. Barry’s actually got a good record of fixing things via intuitive chronal interference (saving Central City from Weather Wizard’s tidal wave, preventing Vandal Savage from…

Maybe the real villain was Earth-38’s FDA for not bothering to verify Spheerical Industries’ (the company with balls!) specious human testing trails, although I resent the Seth Rogen-lookalike whistleblower’s assertion that Biomax was definitely harmful rather than potentially so.

Not really. Even “Invasion!” had some flashback footage spliced into the simulation that substituted. Out of all the present day stories that could’ve benefited from not being truncated to make room for flashbacks, they picked this one? https://mattthecatania.word…

They did finally the Legends meeting their past selves like I wanted to see in the first season! As a result, the Legends wound up in an Asylum film! Making poor timestream choices finally has consequences! Maybe they can get another Snart from whatever messed up timeline they wound
up in? Since (Green) Arrow doesn’t…

Characters discus the Shadow King as a known quantity, which I expect delighted comics fans & confused fans of just the movies. If only we could’ve seen Xavier & Shadow King have an Astral Plane battle dressed like gladiators for the fate of Storm on the big screen instead of the least intimidating Apocalypse! https://…

The most dubious change from the source material is that David doesn’t have dissociative identity disorder. His original alters (Jemail Karami, Cyndi, & Jack Wayne) are a fundamental aspect of his character. I was even expecting the Brand-X Men to turn out to be figments of his own psyche. How can David Haller be…

“Super Friend” by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom was easily the best song, yet nothing was as electrifying as Professor Stein spontaneously belting out “The Banana Boat Song” during Apollo 13. (A rendition so nice, Legends of Tomorrow played it twice!) Setting the musical as only a shared superhero coma…

I thought Prometheus would finally snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when he abducted Green Arrow. Oliver has had a tracking beacon in his boot as a kidnapping contingency since the first season finale! Since this was demonstrably useful, I can’t see Ollie omitting it from successive costumes. Felicity should’ve…

This movie is pulp in the best way possible! It’s filled with over the top mayhem without taking itself too seriously. If you ever wanted to see Tom Hiddleston charge through a boneyard filled with colorful fumes slashing at monsters with a katana, have I got a movie for you! https://mattthecatania.word…

Unlike Disney-owned Marvel, Fox doesn’t have a reason to marginalize
mutants with bummer extinction plots like this because it does have the X-Men movie rights. It also effectively kills Fox’s superhero golden goose (nobody wants to see it attempt Fantastic Four again) unless it retcons the timeline again. Can’t we…

Alpha Flight would eat these redshirt Reavers for breakfast if tried anything on Canadian soil.
