WandaVision Episode 3 (Spoiler-Free review)

It has been a week since the first two episodes aired for WandaVision and here we are, at the end of yet another week of an already fast pacing 2021 with the release of the third episode of WandaVision. Audiences such as myself have finally caught up with all reviewers, critics and bloggers who were given to watch the first three episodes of WandaVision a few weeks ago since they had watched them already. Starting next week, everyone who is watching this mind-bending show is anticipatingly waiting for more answers to be answered. 

I know that we all have been going through Marvel withdrawal this past year but we finally getting a week-to-week basis filled with content to keep us getting. The energy on the internet is so much more different compared to when we had movies every few months. With Disney + shows around, we finally have something to talk about all the time now. WHICH IS AWESOME!!!!

Now, review beginneth. Following the 50's and 60's episode, #3 is set in the 70's paying homage primarily towards The Brady Bunch with the sets and theme song. Compared to the previous two episodes, the comedy in this episode is very fast, almost considered as slapstick comedy, banging at every corner there is. The whole concept was fun especially with how Hollywood handled certain "situations' with their actors going through a 'change'. (If you watched the episode, you know what I am talking about.) < My sister pointed this out, thanks sis. The easter eggs in this episode also continues to confound us at every turn, and if you catch one and recognize them, you're a MCU fan already.

As the show progresses, the more I believe Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany acted the crap out of their asses while filming this absolutely bonkers show. As the comedy flashes off and the acting sticks the landing (even if it seems over the top like it was in the 70's) the plot somewhat thickens. It definitely will freakin' creeps the hell out of you towards the last 5 minutes of the episode and you are just constantly wondering what the **** is going on here. 

Teyonah Parris returns to this episode with a better mystery hiding behind her 70's makeup and it only makes this Marvel recipe even spicier (apart from the mystery that is hiding within the conversations of Kathryn Hahn's Agnes and David Payton's Herb). I am also hoping for more time for content. All the episodes lately have been 30 minutes or less. It is probably going to be like this until the end of the sitcom weirdness and then we might get to possibly having 40 to 50 minutes worth of Marvel perfection. There's just so much more to unpack with 6 more episodes to go (and only three of them based in a sitcom-type world) that I am just dying to get my hands on. 

To conclude, I would have to say that among three already released episodes, this is by far the BEST. It is funny, weird, freaky and scary. All the kind of feelings Kevin Feige and Matt Shakman promised us when promoting this show to the public. I am glad they were telling the truth while also I am subtly shivering in fear as to what everything ties up to.

An Overlooked, Fun Marvel Adventure (The Marvels spoiler-free review)

-

  This is probably the closest thing to a Marvel team-up we will get for a while, and it is unfortunate that the drama within the media surrounding this film is based on reasons that are not progressive. However, that is not what we are here to talk about. The Marvels is the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing back Carol Danvers in her latest adventure with Nick Fury and some newfound partnerships with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan.  The Marvels is set 33 years after the first Captain Marvel movie, where Carol is still trying to save the universe and she thinks she's the only one who can. After the events of WandaVision, Monica is now working with Fury with her new set of powers in his new project called S.A.B.E.R. while Kamala Khan continues to be the giddy, new superhero that protects the residents of New Jersey but an unworldly event connects her mysterious bangle to both Monica and Carol. Due to this cosmic event involving the Kree supremacist, Dar Benn,

Loki season 2 (Full season review)

With Marvel in a sort of whirlpool of viewers not having consistent reception towards the content, they seem to be missing a very important and well-done part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki lives up to that statement with its second season. Despite its new writers and directors at the helm, the show still showcases the best parts of Marvel's storytelling.  Taking place immediately after the end of season 1, Loki is dealing with the shenanigans of the TVA and the involvement of Kang variants with the release of the multiverse. It is up to Loki and co. (consisting of Mobius, Hunter B-5, and Casey) to deal with the consequences caused by Sylvie. The show still continues to be a trippy, timey-wimey time travel adventure but adds the Marvel-ous flair that made the franchise so memorable. With new rules and problems being thrown in the mix to deal with, the sci-fi logic continues to be expanded upon, solidifying the greatness of the show.  Unlike most of the Marvel shows that dea

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many changes that
