The Mandalorian (1×03 and 1×04)- “The Sin/Sanctuary” Written by: Jon Favreau (1×03 and 1×04) Directed by: Deborah Chow (1×03) Bryce Dallas Howard (1×04) Oh! You came back! Let’s not waste time, then. Episode three picks up as Mando is coming out of hyperspace. He receives a message from Greef containing instructions to head directly to the Client with the Child (who’s spending his time being cute and stealing a knob off one of the control levers.) Mando heads to the Client and after some grief from his Stormtrooper bodyguards he makes the delivery and as promised he receives a whole lot more beskar steel. Just before he leaves he pauses…

THE MANDALORIAN SPOILER Review: Episodes 1×01 and 1×02- “The Mandalorian/The Child”
The Mandalorian (1×01 and 1×02)- “The Mandalorian/The Child” Written by: Jon Favreau (1×01 and 1×02) Directed by: Dave Filoni (1×01) Rick Famuyiwa (1×02) So anyway… I feel like it’s been an eternity since I’ve reviewed the Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- Wait a minute! What’s going on here?! This isn’t The Flash! This isn’t even the CW! Where the hell am I? Let me check… This is… The Mandalorian… That would explain people keeping their faces covered instead of taking their masks off every thirty seconds. At the risk of invoking déjà vu, “So anyway” welcome to my Mandalorian reviews for WOBEnt. I know I’m a little late but in my defense, I only…

5 More Video Games That Should Get a Live Action Adaptation
Video game adaptations have had a bad rep forever, but in recent years, the subgenre has shown improvement. Films such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Tomb Raider have been solid, while Castlevania has an outstanding anime series on Netflix. Currently, new properties like Uncharted and Monster Hunter are being adapted, with reboots of Mario and Mortal Kombat underway. And those are just the movies. Television adaptations in the works include HBO’s The Last of Us, Showtime’s Halo, and Amazon’s Fallout. We can also talk about Netflix’s The Witcher series, but that is an adaptation of the books, rather than the games. Now, we’re always thinking about the future. As long…

5 More DC Movies That Should Get a Spinoff Series on HBO Max
Since its launch, HBO Max has added many high-profile originals to its programming lineup. Most prominently, DC Entertainment has been the source of some originals. These range from Doom Patrol (a co-production with DC Universe) to a Green Lantern series to even Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Most recently, it was announced that Matt Reeves’ The Batman is getting a spinoff series, focusing on the film’s Gotham City Police Department. HBO Max will continue to add DC originals to its slate, and some can be rooted in preexisting movies. DC has an extensive film history, especially in recent years. Any of them can have a spinoff series that takes place in…

Review: BNA: BRAND NEW ANIMAL Season 1
A human-turned-tanuki named Michiru runs away to Anima City. There she hopes to get protection and answers. When she meets Shirou, a beastkin who can turn into a wolf, the answer might not lie so far away. Like A Whisker Away, I found this randomly on Netflix. It looked like it could be a lot of fun, pressed play, and here we are. Twelve episodes later, and BNA: Brand New Animal has ended up as one of my new favorite series in a long time. When a story wants to incorporate an important subject matter, the writer always takes a big risk. Insert it amateurishly and it can become jarring. That…

10 Characters We Want to See on SUPERMAN & LOIS
The CW‘s Arrowverse will expand with its next spinoff series next year. Superman & Lois shifts the focus to Clark Kent and his wife, as they balance the challenges of superheroics and raising two sons. The show is already confirmed to feature several new characters, such as Lana Lang and The Stranger (rumored to be an alternate version of Lex Luthor). The Arrowverse shows are known for focusing on characters from the comics. Some are making their live action debuts, while others are being re-adapted or even crossing over from other shows. That is expected to be the same with Superman & Lois. And considering the Man of Steel’s gallery…

5 DC Movie/TV Characters We Want to See in THE FLASH Movie
This week, news broke that DC‘s The Flash/Flashpoint movie will feature a Batman – but not the one anyone expected. Michael Keaton, the star of Batman (1989) and Batman Returns, is in talks to return to his iconic role, in what is said to be the first of several appearances throughout the DC Extended Universe. This opens all kinds of doors for the film. Once thought to be just a loose adaptation of the Flashpoint comic, The Flash will now give moviegoers a glimpse of the DC Multiverse. This can allow for other characters from DC’s film and television history to appear. We saw this in The CW’s Crisis on…

Ranking Every Season of ARROW
The CW’s Arrow recently ended its eight-season run, in the aftermath of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. While not the longest-running superhero show, its legacy is still unparalleled. Not only did it increase the cultural impact of Green Arrow and his supporting cast, but it spawned a shared universe that consists of several ongoing shows. This culminated in Crisis on Infinite Earths, which used the Multiverse to connect countless DC shows and movies spanning decades. Now, with Oliver Queen‘s story finished, we wanted to look back at Arrow, season-by-season. Of course, not every season is on the same level of quality; some are good, some are great, some are…

Review: SPACE FORCE Season 1 (2020)
The same day that Mark R. Naid finds himself as a four-star general, the army assigned him for the new program called Space Force. With this program, the United States Army aims to be the largest force in space. On May 5th, Netflix released a trailer for its upcoming series Space Force. Due to its great cast and a setting that writes itself, the trailer made me interested. Weeks later, I open Netflix and I’m ready to go. Ten episodes later, and I was filled with disappointment. Space Force is the perfect example of a missed opportunity. Not only does it feels like a first draft (or even improve at…

5 Characters Who Can Replace Kate Kane as The CW’s Batwoman
A couple weeks ago, it was announced that Ruby Rose had exited from the lead role on The CW‘s Batwoman. The news was shocking, as the Arrowverse has never lost a series lead like this before. Multiple reasons were given as to why Rose left, but at the time, it was said that the role of Kate Kane will be recast. Despite that, recent reports have suggested that a new character will assume the mantle next season, rather than recasting Kane. While unconfirmed, it would make some sense. It would free the show of the risk of bringing in a new face for Kane for fans to get used to,…
