Loki Episode 5: Journey into Mystery (Spoiler-Free Review)

-

Loki has once again broken the minds of Marvel-lites everywhere with the all-new episode filled with easter eggs and a bigger revelation towards everyone's most relied-on theory as to who the real antagonist is. This week's episode is called Journey Into Mystery and does it ever live up to the title? Yesss. This whole episode is a hell of a journey on its own even if it is within a bigger journey of Loki becoming more instead of following the growth of the other Loki we watched throughout the first three phases of the MCU. 

With the additions to the show as well as future members of the MCU, Loki has once again proved to exist to only make itself better as each episode passes. Unfortunately, Loki is coming to an end next week and we can't help wondering if the finale will be as satisfying as we want it to be. With Marvel Studios previous shows, finales haven't exactly had good luck but good faith is set within the hype of Loki's finale, which makes us less worrried. 

However, episode 5 seems to be so fun and so expansive on its own that it could end up set apart from the wider MCU but then again, that could change next week onwards. Loki also manages to make itself different since there are plans to continue Loki's adventures with a second season (something that has yet to be confirmed but considering since its been in the air, its less likely to be a rumour) unlike the previous Marvel Studios produced shows. 

One wide quality Marvel fans will be happy with is how much they wanted to make sure the instances and characters featured in this episode to be really comic accurate, making the storylines in the comics canon as well. Also, the nod to an old fan theory made up from Infinity War makes an appearance also guaranteeing that the people at Marvel Studios are indeed paying attention to what goes on Twitter and Reddit when the Marvel hashtag is used.

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
