LEGENDS OF TOMORROW SEASON FOUR REVIEW ... SPOILERS

Image
I dropped weekly viewing of nearly all of the Arrowverse series (except the Flash) in the fall of 2018 because I was not the most satisfied with the ending of last season. But, I really wish I did not drop Legends of Tomorrow season four, because it is amazing. Legends of Tomorrow is arguably the only Arrowverse series that manages to maintain a consistent tone, an interesting and compelling plot, with lovable characters throughout a single season, which is why it has lasted as long as it has.  I want to get into all the reasons why season four of Legends of Tomorrow worked, and why it deserves more credit. Plot The way that the first part of the season was constructed is that it took an episodic approach into constructing conflict, with a villain from the underworld each week being spit out into a part of the timeline where they do not belong, and it is up to the Legends to stop them. However, moving into the last few episodes of the season, everything came togethe...

2022

Image
  Well, I have not posted anything on here in the past year, except for this, my year in review of this year. This year had the theme of 'getting back to normal' after the lockdown phase of the pandemic. And, yes it is nice to the world healing. But for the step taken forward, I feel as though the world has taken two steps backwards. Through lockdowns I felt like humanity would launch itself into becoming a more robust, empathetic society, but this year kind of disproved that. I could go on about how we are taking no significant steps towards the climate crisis, or the ever expanding wealth gap, or any other issue that plagued us in the before times. But instead I want to point out that in 'going back to normal' we are letting the same narratives in the news of 'humans vs. humans' play out, and it is in all honesty upsetting to see. I wish that from lockdowns that we would see more empathy being extended in all areas of this world. I believe that if this were th...

2020, It's Done!

Image
2020, you made it, we made it. Who thought that this year of 67 months would come to an end? But here we are, during a global pandemic, after meaningful movement in the Black Lives Matter movement, a devastating explosion in Beirut,  and several highly consequential elections. I could keep picking through the half-digested food of events that make up the pool of vomit that is 2020, but I think you understand. Although so much has happened this year, so little has occurred as well, being inside for more than half of it. The reason that I had not posted on here as much this year is that I had/ have a lot of new adjustments in my personal life, regardless of the pandemic. I do not know how things would have been different without the pandemic, but regardless I did have time to reflect on myself and do other things that I enjoyed. Besides what was I going to write on, Tiger King?  I feel selfish for admitting that I did have some fond memories in 2020, which is difficu...

THE QUICKSILVER THEORY- AVENGERS ENDGAME

Image
One of the most underutilized characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was Pietro Maximoff, A.K.A Quicksilver, played by Aaron Taylor Johnson, who both debuted and died in Avengers Age of Ultron (2015). With Avengers Endgame approaching, and the film promising to wrap up the past 22 films, it is possible that we see Quicksilver return in Endgame, and I have a theory as to how that may happen. The main reason that Quicksilver was killed off in the MCU was that writing for speedsters is simply just too hard. Especially if the speedster is not counted in their powers. If Quicksilver lived in Age of Ultron, we most likely would have seen him in Captain America Civil War, and Avengers Infinity War. In Civil War, for example, Quicksilver would be too overpowered for team Iron Man. If Quicksilver sided with Captain America in the airport battle, he could have rushed every member to the Quinjet, and Zemo would have been captured. Tony wouldn't have stood a chance. Therefore no ...
