Mischief Makers "Loki" Recaps: "Journey Into Mystery" & "For All Time. Always"

 Loki


"Loki" is not my favorite of the Disney+ Marvel television series, but I can't argue that it definitely sticks the landing, and sort of bucks the trend of an action heavy, kind of mindless finale. And, as we get closer and closer to "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," these episodes are great to watch, because this is where the multiverse actually takes hold.

"Fuck Batman" Titans Recap: "Prodigal" & "Purple Rain"

 Titans


We've reached the end of season 3 of "Titans" and it continues to be somewhat of an enigma. Season three is basically a Batman story with the main "Titans" cast shuffled to the side. It's an interesting choice for a property that has a proper Rogues gallery and a ton of classic stories to pull from. When Marv Wolfman and George Perez premiered the New Teen Titans in 1980, it was a response to the massive popularity of Marvel's "Uncanny X-Men" being written and drawn at the time by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. It brought us classic stories like "The Judas Contract" and "Terra Incognito." And the show decides to do a Red Hood story with Scarecrow. Sure. "Titans" has been picked up for a fourth season that just began filming. It is going to feature classic Titans villain Brother Blood. They have been slowly introducing the Fearsome Five and the finale referenced classic Titan Roy Harper. I'm hopeful that season four will actually bring the focus back to the Titans themselves, but for now, let's dive into another middling penultimate episode and lackluster finale.

A Long Time Ago, During the Clone Wars: "Nightsisters," "Monster" & "Witches of the Mist"

 StarWars The Clone Wars


If you're a super fan of Asajj Ventress like I am, then these are the episodes for you. Be prepared to get a lot of backstory about Dooku's ex-apprentice and some twists and turns that back when these episodes premiered.
