KRYPTON Midseason Review – Season 1
Set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet, Krypton follows Superman’s grandfather – whose House of El was ostracized and shamed – as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos. Right now, we’re halfway through the ten-episode season of Krypton (hopefully the first of many). We’ve already reviewed the pilot episode, so for this review, we will focus on episodes 2-5. [Warning: We’ll Be Discussing SPOILERS From the First Half of Krypton Season 1.] In “House of El,” Seg initially disregards Adam Strange’s warning of an enemy from the future, instead plotting to kill Daron-Vex.

Review: ULTIMATE AVENGERS
Hi all! Me again. First of all welcome back to our 20 Days of Infinity War series! Second of all, lemme just say watching this movie first instead of Ultimate Avengers II would have really helped my review of it I did here. Not by much, but a little! We begin at the end of World War II, where Captain America saves his men from the Ji’Tari Nazis, but ends up in the ocean, frozen. We go to the present, where Bruce Banner is studying the super soldier program, and Fury is searching the bottom of the ocean, looking for I assume, Captain America. He finds him, they defrost him,…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 4×18- “Lose Yourself”
The Flash (4×18)- “Lose Yourself” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Hanelle M Culpepper This week’s episode features the search for Edwin Gauss aka The Folded Man. Gauss has been reimagined as a hippy teleporter and that makes him incredibly important to DaVoe since it would mean he could teleport even without his chair and for Team Flash since he uses Pocket Dimensions and that would get them into DaVoe’s lair. But that’s really just the window dressing since the primary thrust of this episode is the eternal hero’s debate in comics: To Kill vs Not to Kill. Ralph is very much in the kill camp as…

SUPERMAN: UNBOUND Review
Now we find Superman facing one of his most famous foes. An entity is known as Brainiac. The positive The story is decent, the characters (for the most part) works well in the story they try to tell. The art style of the movie looked like it could be a mix of western and Japanese (anime). A blend that in theory shouldn’t work, but works well here. While the animation was good in general, there are flaws. The best part of the movie is easily the voice acting. Especially Matt Bomer and John Noble. The former does the voice of Superman (while being Henry Cavill’s twin brother by the looks…

SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE Review
Superman vs The Elite is, like my previous review, based on a previous comic book called What’s so funny about the truth justice & the American way, and just like my previous review, reading it is something I haven’t been able to do. So the review is going to approach it like it’s a movie on its own. In Superman vs The Elite, they cover the question of what true justice is. On the one hand, we have Superman, who believes that criminals should face punishment, but not to the point of death, while we have the rising group of Anti-Heroes called The Elite lead by Manchester Black who thinks…
