I've not reviewed many MCU movies of late, largely because my views were very much in the shrug/meh range. Add to that no longer being a cinema bunny, it all started to feel a little pointless. Still, the streaming release of the third chapter of the Guardians of the Galaxy subset approached with promising reviews, … Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Sarah's Scribbles is a comic series - online, and a set of books - celebrating life as an awkward nerd. Something I can entirely get behind! 🙂 The simple style of the artwork perfectly captures the humour in various, relatable situations. Although there's no overarching 'story', there are recurring themes, including cat ownership, being an … Continue reading Oddball – Sarah Andersen
I have more than reached the point of "Urgh, not another Marvel TV show", if I'm being honest. And frankly, Hulk is probably my least-favourite character, smart version or otherwise. But, seeing this was only a half-hour show, I figured I'd give it an episode. And... it's fun. Ooh - there's what's been missing through … Continue reading She Hulk (season 1)
I have to admit, I haven't been overly impressed with 'Phase 4' of the MCU, but nor am I saying I should have stopped with Endgame; it's just more of a lucky dip as to whether you'll get something fun or not. I perhaps stoopidly had high hopes for Thor: L&T, but alas it's a bit … Continue reading Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
I've loved the Sandman stories since I first stumbled across them in the local library. I'm not the hugest graphic novels fan, but these are easily my favourite and more than that the whole concept just kind of blows me away. The Endless: a family of, more or less, anthropomorphic personifications of the Big Ideas such as … Continue reading The Sandman (season 1)
(Usual spoiler: talking about how season 3 starts is kind of a spoiler for how season 2 ends) Meet the Hargreaves: seven 'siblings' who were brought together as babies by an eccentric millionaire who decided their highly unusual births - none of their mothers having been pregnant the day before - signalled something special. And … Continue reading The Umbrella Academy (season 3)
Museum gift shop worker, Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) has problems. He's rubbish with romance, his boss won't give him a promotion despite his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Ancient Egyptian, and he has to cuff himself to the bedpost every night to stop some quite extreme sleep-walking. As in, wake up in a different country … Continue reading Moon Knight (season 1)
To be honest, I wasn't desperately fussed about this movie. It feels like we've had at least twenty Batmans (Batmen?) in the past couple of years, and superhero fatigue has long since set in - even for me - more generally. But then people started raving about this a bit, and I allowed myself to … Continue reading The Batman (2022)
7000 years ago, a group of super-powered, immortal beings were sent to Earth to fight against the monstrous Deviants. Long thinking their mission complete, they've formed lives among humanity while they wait for their masters, the Celestials, to call them home. It's those masters who banned them from interfering in other human struggles, be that … Continue reading Eternals (2021)
Of all the new MCU tv shows - WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier - the one I was most looking forward to was this, Loki. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is a fascinating character, as is his evolution in the Marvel universe: from pure, if faceted, villain in both Thor (2011) and Avengers (2012), the character was so … Continue reading Loki (season 1)
