LOKI AND SCARLET WITCH TV SERIES ANNOUNCED

It has been reported that on the Disney streaming service, there will be two exclusive live action shows featuring Loki in one show, and Scarlet Witch in the other show, being leads, and reportdely connecting with the Marvel Cinematic Universe having Tom Hiddleston reprise his role as the God of mischief and Elizabeth Olsen as the first mutant in the MCU. This news is huge so I will go over what both shows could look like, and what else this means for Marvel television, and other Marvel characters.

The Loki show is something which surprises me as a show which would be made. The character is apparently dead in the universe since Thanos snapped his neck. That means that with a Loki tv show, it would mean that the show takes place before Infinity War, possibly before the first Thor film, or somewhere else in the timeline. The other possibility is that Loki is resurrected in Avengers 4 and a television series follows him in the present tense. A Loki series will be interesting and will look vastly different depending on where in the timeline it takes place. But Tom Hiddleston in a standalone tv series would be exciting to see, bringing in a strong lead and performance for whatever this show would look like.

Scarlet Witch is my favorite Marvel character and it would be insane seeing a tv series focusing on the character. If there were a tv series on the character it would take place after Infinity War and Avengers 4. This is because it would be easier focusing on a story of the character in a time where she has a grasp of most of her powers, and she is not invovled with any A-list characters that would not be in a tv series. The reported point of these tv series is to focus on characters in the Marvel films who have not gotten their own film, and are not big enough to warrent their own film.

I would be super excited to see Elizabeth Olsen have her own tv series as Scarlet Witch, as the show would develop the character a whole lot more, and we could see some more dimensions to the character see how she can handle things on her own.

One thing to remember is that Marvel Studios and Marvel Television are ultimatley two differnt studios. Marvel Studios opperates with the films, and are doing their own thing, while Marvel Television is a seperate studio who has made the ABC and Netflix show. They are both fit under the same continuity, with Marvel Studios creating the universe without reguarding the television side, while Marvel Television does its best to fit into the continuity and the universe set by the films.

These new shows which are being reported as being produced by Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige himself working as a producer on the shows. So these shows are not going to be completeley isolated from what we see in the films such as the Neflix shows.

It was also reported that there are other characters who are not too prominent in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that could potentially get their own tv series. I might do a speculation of who could later on because this does open up a series of potential tv series for other characters which does excite me.

What do you think of this news? Comment below your excitement and what you would like to see from these tv series coming to the Disney streaming service and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

THE BATMAN MOVIE COMING 2021

Image
With the "Worlds of DC" changing its line up of films after seeing its success and failures, Warner Brothers has announced that they are developing the Matt Reeves Batman film to come out in summer 2021. This news is something which has been speculated for a while now, and it seems like Ben Affleck is leaving behind the role of Batman and the film seems like it will be a prequel with a much younger Batman going on an adventure with a younger rogues gallery. It seems like the film will still take place in this same continuity that we have been seeing. It's not going to be like the Joker film coming out later this year which is separate from the Worlds of DC. Going in the future with this new younger Batman. I think we could see a trilogy with the younger character. In that trilogy, we could see the villains which we haven't seen before in these films or ones we haven't seen much of before. So we could see Deathstroke, the Riddler, Catwoman, the Pengui...

THE FLASH "CAUSE AND XS" REVIEW

Image
Season 5 Episode 14: Hey everyone, we are back with a brand new episode of the Flash, directed by Rachael Talalay, and Killer Frost herself, Danielle Pannabaker. In this episode we see Nora get herself caught in a time loop, and with Barry out of the picture, she has no idea on what to do. So spoilers ahead for this episode, let's recap. The episode starts off with Cisco finding a meta-human cure, however, it needs a month to be synthesized, so Barry takes it into the speed force for an hour, as time moves differently in there. With Barry gone, the team goes to do separate things. Cisco goes on a date with Kamilla, Sherloque helps Caitlin with some things, and Iris goes to write a story at her office. At her office, Iris is captured by Cicada, who takes her on the rooftop. After getting an alert, Nora runs to the rooftop where Killer Frost breaches in, and Cicada kills Caitlin. Nora freaks out, and runs away, rewinding time to just after Barry left. Back in time, Nora writ...

Season 6 Episodes 2-8: Hey everyone, since I could not keep up with the Flash season six this past fall, and the crisis is upon us, I have decided to review the past season past the premiere up until the cliffhanger where Crisis starts. Spoilers ahead for this season of the Flash. Plot After learning that he will die in the coming crisis from the Monitor, Barry Allen tries to prepare the team in individual ways to prepare for life post-Crisis, after Barry Allen dies. THroughout Barry individually preparing Ralph, Cisco, and Caitlin in various ways, a new villain, Dr. Ramsey Rosso attempts to cure death which evolves into something more sinister. Meanwhile, a new Harisson Wells named “Nash” appears on Earth 1 attempts to kill the Monitor and expose him as a fraud. The concept that Barry Allen wants to prepare the team for a world where he dies was interesting to see as it developed the team dynamic in a meaningful way. The team was learning that although Barry may...

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...
