Star Wars: Andor Weaves a Highly Compelling Story about the Start of a Rebellion in its First Season
In retrospect, Rogue One: a Star Wars Story was one of, if not the most well-received Star Wars stories to come out after Disney acquired Lucasfilms. So, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that Star Wars: Andor also…
Against All Odds, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has Created a Beautiful (though Flawed) Story out of a Tragedy
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever could have easily buckled under the weight of the unfortunate circumstances that plagued its production. It was just about to go into production when, in August 2020, its star Chadwick Boseman passed away unexpectedly from cancer.…

The Lord of the Rings: the Rings of Power Tries to Redefine Tolkien’s Classic World in its First Season, to Mixed Effects
The Lord of the Rings: the Rings of Power is a frustrating show. At several points in the eight-episode first season, the show is entertaining, epic, and even compelling. But it fails to carry this momentum forward, marred by a…
Werewolf by Night is a Delightful Take on Classic Horror that Opens New Horizons for the MCU

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…
