This review contains spoilers. Well, here we are. The curtain has fallen on Agent Carter Season Two, and perhaps the series altogether. The arc of my relationship with this season has certainly been interesting, having initially been vaguely disappointed by what I viewed as kind of muddled themes, only to be gobsmacked by the realization that maybe … Continue reading MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER Recap: “Hollywood Ending”
This review contains spoilers. When it comes right down to it, 22 minutes is not a lot of time to tell a story. If you’re splitting said story up into three acts, and you want to, say, show a character having a major change of heart during the second act, you’d have at best ten … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Honorable Ones”
This review contains spoilers. One of the most distressing changes to the way we interact with movies in the twenty-first century is the advent of ‘live tweeting.’ Setting aside the fact that 99% of these oh-so-witty insights are neither terribly witty nor particularly insightful, the real problem here is that it violates the essential social … Continue reading MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER Recap: “The Edge of Mystery” and “A Little Song and Dance”
This review contains spoilers. I have never been particularly fond of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This is something I’ve written about extensively in the past, but now that I’m writing here at Heroic Hollywood, I think it’s important to restate this bit of context. Because, you see, as much as I’m not fond of The Clone Wars, I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Homecoming”
This review contains spoilers. Power. Just last week I was wondering whether Agent Carter had finally settled into a thematic angle for this season, and last night’s pair of episodes confirms it; this season is all about power – who has it, who doesn’t, and the lengths people will go to maintain it. Across these … Continue reading MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER Recap: “Life of the Party” and “Monsters”
NOTE: This review was written for Heroic Hollywood, but due to some unforeseen timing issues they were unable to run it today. Starting next week my Rebels reviews will be posted at Heroic Hollywood. This review contains spoilers Long seasons of TV are a drag. Everyone recognizes this on some level; it’s why premium cable shows are only ten … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Call”
Exciting news: I have a new home for my writing! Starting today I will be covering Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and (naturally) Star Wars Rebels for Heroic Hollywood. This is a big, exciting step for me, but for the four of you who follow this blog, don’t worry. I’m still planning on posting articles … Continue reading MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER Recap – “The Atomic Job”
This review contains spoilers One of my major beefs with Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the way in which that series espoused a bizarre pro-war sentiment. For any of their flaws, it’s clear that the Star Wars prequels are about the failures of politics and organized religion – the entire point of which being that by … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Legends of the Lasat”
I apologize for the delay in posting this review. It seems Disney has decided to split this season into two separate volumes on Amazon, iTunes, etc. and seeing as I’m not inclined to buy this season at full price twice in a row, I reached out to Disney. They have since reduced the price of both Vol. 2 and … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Protector of Concord Dawn”
This review contains spoilers. One of the most common complaints levied by fans against the first season of Star Wars Rebels was that it was too limited in scope, specifically in that it was set almost entirely on or around the planet of Lothal. This was never something that bothered me, and to be honest, I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “A Princess on Lothal”
