ARROW KAPUISHON REVIEW

Season 5 Episode 17:

On this episode of Arrow, we had a lot of flashbacks, and we finally see Evelyn again.So spoilers ahead, let's recap the episode.

The episode starts off with Oliver being toured by Adrian, and he goes on about the people on the list, Adrian wants Oliver to reveal his secret, and Oliver doesn't know what he is talking about.

In the flashbacks, Anatoli gets sworn into being the Bravata leader, so the Bravata and Oliver are trying to stop an attack Kovar is planning.Oliver and the Bravata try to intercept the gas, however, Kovar manages to get it.Oliver speaks to the mother of the woman he meets last season in the flashbacks, he gets a key off her to sneak into Kovar 's place, and he breaks the news to her that he kids were murdered.

Back in present day, drain brings Evelyn and throws her in Oliver's cell.Adrain tells Oliver that he has to kill Evelyn, or Evelyn has to kill Oliver.Evelyn apologizes to Oliver for betraying him, Oliver forgives Evelyn and Oliver asks for the knife to break his cuffs.Evelyn picks up the knife and tries to kill Oliver, but he kicks her down.Adrain comes back and tells Oliver that he is couldn't bring himself to kill Evelyn.Adrain picks up Evelyn and snaps her neck.

Back in the flashbacks, Oliver tortures one of Kovar's men and knows their plan which is to release poisonous gas at a new casino.Oliver and the Bravata get to the casino and the Bravata get rounded up by Kovar Oliver rescues the mother he was speaking to earlier, but she dies.Oliver takes down Kovar and kills him.

Back in present day, Adrain gets Oliver to admit what he wants him to admit, that being that Oliver enjoys murdering.Evelyn gets up and says "just as we expected", Adrian gets her t leave the cell and Adrian burns Oliver's tattoo with a blowtorch.

Back in the flashbacks, Oliver and Anatoli get the Brave tattoos and they part ways.We then cut to a hospital bed where Kovar is in bandages and he wakes up.And Merlyn, who was speaking to Kovar previously says "I'm glad I'm not the person who injured him."

In the present day, Oliver wakes up in his cell and walks out.He gets back to the Arrow cave and meets with Felicity, John, and Curtis, and he tells them that he is shutting this [team arrow] down.

My favorite scene in the episode was the ending.Oliver wants to end being the Green Arrow.Well, with seeing all his mistakes, and the people he killed, it seems like he has been damaged, and wants to stop.So next episode Oliver will probably stop being the Green Arrow, maybe the other members of the team will have to reinspire Oliver to become the Green Arrow.In between that Felicity, John, the new recruits and Black Canary will probably work together to try to find Prometheus and Talia.

The stand out character in the episode was Stephen Amell as Oliver.The episode really focused on him and his past mistakes, and why he does what he does, Adrain made him confess that he liked to kill, Oliver doesn't want to kill, but Prometheus is swaying him to think that he likes to kill.
The other cast was great, David Nykl (Anatoli), Dolph Lundgren (Kovar), and Josh Segarra (Prometheus), along with Madison McLaughlin as Artemis.
And also John Barrowman has been on all the DCTV shows this week except Supergirl, however, he appeared on the same show as her in the musical crossover.

Overall this episode was a solid episode, the flashbacks were exciting, and I loved seeing Madison McLaughlin back as Evelyn Sharp, even though she is still sided with Adrian.I will love to see her back as a villain for next season.I will give this episode a 9 out of 10.Comment below your thoughts on the episode down below.As always thanks for reading, take care.

CAPTAIN MARVEL NON SPOILER REVIEW

Image
Well, after an eight-month hiatus from Marvel Studios films, we are here with the debut of Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. This is a non-spoiler review of the film, I will have a review full of spoilers coming out later this weekend. So let's get into it. Captain Marvel is set in 1995 and focuses on Kree warrior Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) discovering her past on Earth and as an air force pilot, as she attempts to put a stop between an intergalactic war between the Kree and the Skrulls, with the help of pet cat, Goose, and a young SHIELD agent, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), and other allies from her past. One of the biggest stigmas around the film is that it is more or less trying to push a political agenda. I personally didn't see that to a degree, and I feel like that has been blown out of proportion. The film plays on the theme of identity, and the idea of being true to yourself. Maybe people thought about that because of one of the music cues,...

BLACK PANTHER CONCEPT ART BREAKDOWN

Image
With the Doctor Strange digital release, there was some new Black Panther concept art, which all looks spectacular, this art I got from Cinemablend .But let's break down this concept art. In this piece of art, we have what seems to be the center buildings of Wakanda.The building in the middle may not actually be a building bu instead a castle.I am guessing that T'Challa chills here and the base we saw in the civil war post-credit scene would be out in the mountains in the background. Here is a different perspective of Wakanda.It seems like these are more of the housing areas, very basic structures, I feel like a large portion of the population may live in there and T'Chaallla may have to solve that, something his father didn't do.But the houses have some glass on them, I don't know what that is for but it looks neat. This appears to be the council meeting room in Wakanda.There are people sitting in the middle looking over what appears to be a map of Wa...

Spoilers for Defenders and Jessica Jones season 2 by the way.   To start off the film's and television shows in the MCU are made by different companies; all are a part of the MCU and owned by Disney. The films are produced by Marvel Studios which is a separate entity to Marvel television, who make all the Marvel tv shows, including Legion and the Gifted.  Marvel Studios makes the films. Head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige has no clue as to what the tv shows are up to, that being because he's a busy man. It has been stated before that Marvel Studios does not have any reason to bring the tv show characters directly into the films for a number of reas...
