How The Inhumans Should’ve Started
The first three episodes of The Inhumans have aired (the fourth is tonight), and they are…not great. I’m no pessimist, and I’ll probably keep watching, but I have a LOT of thoughts on what went wrong, and how it could’ve been fixed. Why Inhumans couldn’t be a movie I actually agree with Marvel that The…

Pilot Season – The Inhumans
I’ve watched the two episodes of Marvel’s new show, The Inhumans, and I’m reminded very strongly of season one of Agents of SHIELD. With a little of the lackluster parts of Iron Fist thrown in for good measure. It’s not great, but there is the tiniest of hope in me still that it can get…

Help Me Fix Agents of SHIELD
This is mostly in response to the article over at Heroic Hollywood, Is Marvel’s ‘Agents of SHIELD’ Really Any Good? so maybe check that first.

Agents of SHIELD Recap – S03E06 Among Us Hide…
This show, man. Â It gets you turned around. Â It became clear that Lash wasn’t just some random person – Andrew was a possibility to be the killer Inhuman, but I dismissed him. Â But there you are. Â And this reveal leaves me with a ton of questions. Â Is he one of the recent Inhumans created by…

Agents of SHIELD Recap – S03E02 Purpose in the Machine
Episode 2, Purpose in the Machine kicks off right where the premiere left off, and keeps up the breakneck pace. Â After an open that shows old English dudes sending some poor sap into a room…with our monolith. Â Mostly so one of them can tell us “no one ever returns!”. Â But we know our Simmons is…

Agents of SHIELD Recap – S03E01 Laws of Nature
I’ve got a bit of free time on my hands, so I am going to try and write more – and I thought I’d start recapping some of my favorite shows. Â First up, Agents of SHIELD! AoS season two dealt with the Inhumans, and the fact that Skye (now known by her real name, Daisy…

Movie Review – Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I’ve been a Marvel guy since I first read my brother’s few remaining comics (the ones my Mom hadn’t tossed, that old story), but Captain America never appealed to me. Â The costume seemed like a bit much, and he just didn’t seem to be as much fun as Iron Man or Spidey, and didn’t have…
