The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 1: New World Order (Spoiler Free Review)

-

It has been two Fridays that have passed since WandaVision ended and Marvel Studios is not definitely not done yet with more stories to tell. For the next 5 weeks, The Falcon and The Winter Solider will be Marvel-ites all new dig site to find and decipher potential storylines and theories that will either be further explored in the series or in later projects of the MCU.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's very first episode basically manages to set up the a proper prologue to a big and long event story that is going to be exploited in the next 5 episodes. Sadly in this episode, we do not see Sam or Bucky together yet but instead dealing with repercussions caused by the many Snaps that occurred during both Infinity War and Endgame. As you can notice, many issues are being brewed in this Marvel political drama that will hopefully get resolved eventually. 

What made this first episode so great was the intimate details of both Sam and Bucky's life finally introduced in this miniseries, proving to us MCU fans that these two fan favorite characters are no longer supporting acts behind the shadow of Steve Rogers. From the camera work to the eye popping visuals - whether action based or emotionally based - it is really portrayed nicely that there is no where else the camera should be pointing at. 

The supporting characters include Joaquin Torres whose introduction might actually tease or ensure a possible future plotline seems to be scary since he is so curious about everything. Two returning cameos as well as an taste of a new main character puts labels on the expanding MCU map, reminding us once again this show is completely connected to the theatrical MCU unlike how they are clearly going to be forgetting or having at least voluntary amnesia towards shows like Agents of SHIELD. And the cliffhanger, one that I saw coming, ended in a way that is going to boils the blood of fans where you are left wanting next week's episode even more than you did before you pressed play. 

Without spoiling too much, the 47 minute episode (including credits) is a build up from start to finish, where I am hoping we get to see what is introduced in this episode will be properly resolved the way WandaVision did - no matter what anyone said about the 'Series Finale'.

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

Confessions of A Bored Vampire (Abigail review)

  I know it has been a long time since I have written a review. So many movies I watched a little later because of school and work. But I am back with a review because I was much inspired to write again about this probable cult classic in the horror genre. Abigail is the new horror popcorn flick worth catching before the summer movies roll in.  The film revolves around a group of troubled misfits who are hired to kidnap a rich man's daughter to get a handsome amount of money, they are stuck in a house with a child vampire that hunts them down on by one in hopes of getting out without their blood being drained.  I will not reveal too much for it is a movie worth catching at your own time to just have a blast at the cinema. Abigail can be seen as just another cash grab for a B-grade-looking horror movie featuring an expensive cast, its quippy script and interestingly written characters, this vampire film isn't like others. Or at least it makes its own bitemark to an overdone conc
