I’m just a man standing in front of an internet, asking it to read some funnybook stories he wrote. Also, I do reviews and stuff sometimes.

MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Falcon & Winter Soldier

Last year, Disney+ released the first crop of MCU shows on its site and the initial plan was that Falcon and Winter Soldier would be first. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this show had to stop filming, so in January of 2021, Wandavision was released instead. Falcon and the Winter Soldier would subsequently drop in September. While Wandavision was far removed from your typical superhero … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Falcon & Winter Soldier

MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Wandavision

It’s a new year and we can all agree 2021 pretty much sucked. Know what else sucked? 2020. The sucktitude of these two years was mostly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has affected health, business, and even entertainment. As you are all aware, the pandemic hit early in 2020, which resulted in no new MCU properties being released that year.  MCU movies were … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Wandavision

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Punisher Season 1

With the four major Marvel shows having a season or two under their belts and the Defenders miniseries event premiering, Netflix and Marvel TV took a detour. The Punisher wasn’t initially meant to have a show. Marvel had just gotten the live action rights for Frank Castle back and since Daredevil had his own gritty, ultra-violent show, it made sense to bring in the Punisher. … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Punisher Season 1

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – The Defenders

Welcome back. So here it is, The Defenders – the big team up miniseries the first few Marvel Netflix shows had been leading up to. All the main heroes had their own debuts and it was time for them to have a big `ol crossover event. Unlike the Avengers, this show was more street level and was R-rated, allowing a grittier feel. It also benefitted … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – The Defenders

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 1

Like Luke Cage, this series gave us the first live action version of Iron Fist after many video game and toon versions (the character didn’t even get included in any of the Macey’s Thanksgiving Day Parades in the 80’s). Both Danny Rand and Colleen Wing were played by Game of Thrones alums – Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick. At this point, the Marvel Netflix hype … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 1

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 2

Hey look, I get to talk about Daredevil again. After three successful first seasons of their shows, Marvel was running full steam ahead as they were gearing up for their second run of Daredevil episodes. Despite a few bumps in the road, audiences were generally very receptive of the first seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. Around this time, Iron Fist was delayed … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 2

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Luke Cage Season 1

Welcome back to third part of this series. Last time, in the Jessica Jones entry, I briefly mentioned Mike Colter’s Luke Cage but I held off talking about him too much since I would be getting more in-depth in this one. Luke Cage has been around since the 70’s and while several voice actors have played him in various cartoons, Mike Colter is the only … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Luke Cage Season 1

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 1

Welcome back to my retrospective. I previously fanboyed over the first season of Daredevil and now it’s time to dive into the next series to premiere; let’s talk about the first season of Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones was a fairly new addition to the Marvel pantheon, at least in comparison to Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, so Krysten Ritter was pretty much the first … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 1

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 1

Intro Like my Agents of SHIELD retrospective, I thought it was appropriate to talk about the other corner of Marvel TV: the Netflix shows. It’s quite impressive that they seem to run the gamut between beloved and despised to the point that certain actors playing certain roles are considered definitive while others are considered the worst thing to possibly happen to live action comicbook projects. … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 1

Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 2

The Bad Welcome back to our two part Agents of SHIELD retrospective.  If you missed part 1 (and why would you read the second part before the first), I went over some of the things I loved about the series.  As you probably figured out, I’ll be talking about the worst aspects of the series in this part, which will likely earn a lot of … Continue reading Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 2

Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 1

The Good Stuff In August of 2020, the Marvel TV show Agents of SHIELD aired its 136th and final episode after seven seasons with little fanfare.  While TV shows come and go and seven seasons is quite an achievement, this particular show is very interesting.  I still remember seeing a trailer for the pilot episode in a movie theater, I remember #ItsAllConnected being slapped on … Continue reading Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 1
