Against All Odds, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has Created a Beautiful (though Flawed) Story out of a Tragedy

Black Adam is an Above-Average Superhero Flick, but it has Little Else Going for It
Black Adam had a long, fraught struggle in development hell, taking more than a decade to make it to the screen. Its journey on the silver screen hasn’t been smooth either: its early reviews were decidedly mixed, with a Rotten…
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is a Fun (but Extremely Divisive) Sitcom that Suffers Due to its Short Episodes
Alright. It’s time to talk about the proverbial elephant- well, more of a jade giantess- in the room. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law ran for nine episodes, and each of those episodes divided the MCU fanbase a little more than the…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Tries to Tell a Personal Story in an Epic Backdrop to Mixed Results
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has, unexpectedly, proved to be a divisive film for MCU fans. That’s probably due to the fact that trailers, and the rumor mill, conditioned many fans to expect the world, and more, from…
The Boys Presents: Diabolical is a Fun, Creative (and Inconsistent) Exercise in Telling Short Stories Set in the Violent Superhero Universe
As far as spinoffs go, you could certainly do worse than The Boys Presents: Diabolical. A collection of eight animated shorts featuring A-grade voice actors and writers, it takes good advantage of the universe’s twisted, violent tone and tells a…
