SWAMP THING Series Adds Two Actresses to Cast
If there is something I think we all agree upon, is that DC seems to be all out with its upcoming streaming service, DC Universe. Deadline has recently reported that two actresses are joining their upcoming Swamp Thing television show. The first actress is Crystal Reed, playing the role of Abigail Arcane. For you that are aware of the Swamp Thing mythos, Abigail Arcane is the wife of Swamp Thing, created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. Her first appearance was in Swamp Thing #3 in 1973. This marks Reed’s second DC TV role; she previously played Sofia Falcone on Gotham. The second actress is Maria Sten, who will be playing…

Review: IRON FIST Seasons 1 and 2
Since I did Luke Cage seasons 1 and 2, I thought I might as well do both seasons of Iron Fist considering the second season is out now. Iron Fist season 1 is one of the worst shows of “television” I’ve seen in years. It feels like a generic Dallas clone with some supernatural elements to it. The fight scenes (which you would argue is a big key to an Iron Fist adaptation) is downright [insert censor beep here]. It also has some of the worst written lines I ever head. However, the worst aspect of the first season is the lead himself. I pulled my hair in frustration on more…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Season 3 Episodes 2-6
Just like with the Eden Zero review HERE, the missing episodes of Attack on Titans will be reviewed all at once. When I last left them off, Eren and the gang had gotten ambushed by The Military Police. To make matters worse, it looks like the leader of the squad that ambushes them is someone that has a dark history with Levi. Where the anime is right now, shows perfectly why many calls this show Japan’s The Walking Dead. Instead of focusing on Titan killing action, there is now a lot more political conflicts inside the wall. But honestly? I think Attack on Titans execute the “trust no one” scenario…
