Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
I was a little sad that Hori and Miyamura were so far in the background this week but what we did get of them was funny enough that maybe I didn't mind all that much! Hori basically asks Miyamura to act all tough and tsundere for her and he tries his absolute damndest but fails which is totally precious though the funnier part of the episode was how all the friends knew right away that Hori had requested it! We also got a touch more of Miyamura's backstory and how not only was he hurting himself with the piercings and tattoos but he was also low key suicidal and it honestly breaks my heart a little how everything with him before was so dark and in another show it would be the focus but here it's so lightly touched on that sometimes I wonder if I'm the one overreacting. We also got more from Yuki this week and how this super hot guy from a different class in their year asked her out but while she said no this week I have a feeling that maybe the two will end up together by the end since Yanagi just seems too sweet and pure to be a one-off. It would also resolve the love triangle Yuki and Sakura aren't fighting over Toru!
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 2
I'm still really loving this show and it's insane budget which I actually found out is due to the fact that this show is being co-produced by HBO hence the beauty that is the cinematography of this show. I do wish that there was something in this show I could latch onto emotionally cause of as of now it's like one of the award winning shows or movies that objectively I can tell is excellent but I'm just kinda meh about it. I don't know if it's cause there's no romance to connect to or if the show is just aimed for teens rather than adults like me but either way there's something missing. I do have to say though that someone brought up a point last week that of Clark and Lois it should have been Lois that struggled with being a parent and after I heard that I can't unhear it. Clark should have been the one to always be around cause of his great parents while Lois was the workaholic and part of me wonders if this is a sexism thing since duh the woman has to be a good mom. I really hope with this Morgan Edge thing that Lois will actually get something to do outside of being there for the family and I really hope that they are able to portray Lois the reporter much much better than the Flash ever did with Iris. Clark and Jordan started to bond more over their Kryptonian heritage though Jor El claims that Jordan only has a fraction of the powers that Clark has which makes me think that he'll be at the level of Connor Kent's Superboy rather than Superman so maybe he'll be able to have super strength and durability and laser vision but that's all. I also thought it was sweet that Jordan was named after Jor El which I should have realized last week but it totally escaped me. Jonathon is also super sweet though cause he really did agree to give up his whole life for Jordan and I really just want all the best for him. I also think we practically got a reveal that Captain Luthor is a Luthor from another multiverse rather than planet cause he seemed to be fighting an evil Superman in his flashbacks and he knew General Lane.
Okay seriously the writers need to chill with Jordan's outbursts. Like we get it he's a moody teen but there's no need for him to constantly be horrible with Clark when he knows that his parents love him even if they struggle sometimes! Also Morgan Edge low key just torched Lois's car? I guess he was really threatened by Lois after all.
With Arrow gone and me not so interested in Supergirl or Batwoman or Black Lightning, Flash is the only OG Arrowverse show (other than Legends which I'm counting down the months until!) currently airing and I didn't realize how much I missed it until now! I still don't love that like Riverdale we have to wrap up last season's problems before moving onto the new stuff but I'm going to pretend like Arrow Season 6 and 7 that the villain from last season was saved for another season on purpose. Lots of changes have occurred though like Ralph being written off the show due to the actor's misconducts in real life (which makes me sad cause I adored Ralph) and I'm wondering if Tom Cavanagh is done with this show too now that Nash gave himself up to get back Barry's speed. The news claim that Tom's not done with season 7 yet so unless there's an extended flashback or we time travel or bring a Wells from one of the multiverses that survived but our characters don't know about yet, I'm not sure what that means. I also missed Caitlin and Cisco and I really wish the show would stop writing them off for Allegra and Chester cause I really don't care for them. I want my OG Flash team and I really wish this season we'd dial back the Frost as well. Iris was also still stuck in the mirrorverse but she managed to realize that she was being played by Eva still rather than losing her mind cause she's a badass. The more important thing is that Eva realized that she actually did die on the night of the particle accelerator and that she was a mirror copy which really does have to screw with her cause can you even imagine finding something like that out??
The promo shows that Cisco and Frost are back next week which is awesome and I really should stop expecting Caitlin by now cause clearly the show likes Frost more and I will never understand how Caitlin who is the main personality is just cool with no longer living her life. I do know that the previous season was supposed to have 22 episodes but we stopped at 19 due to production shutting down so if we count this week then this storyline with Eva should end in 3 or so episodes making me wonder if we will really get Iris back next week.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Episodes 21
We had a mellow episode this week to combat all the craziness we experienced over the past few weeks when our kids were fighting special grade spirits and each other. The baseball game was cheesy and all but I think that this whole tournament arc did manage to get me to connect with some of the ensemble which is the only time that slice of life shows work. I did like the way everything that went down was linked back to that beach meeting we saw the curse spirits have all those weeks ago cause I totally forgot what they discussed there and it was so fun to see how well written this show is. Their plan was to use the cursed spirits and the veil to distract the Jujutsu sorcerers into focusing on the kids so that they could sneak in and steal one of the fingers which is exactly why Itadori should have eaten them!! I mean I get the idea of being afraid that the more Itadori eats the more he might lose control but it seems like the devil you know is better than letting it get loose! I do wonder where the rest of the season will end up going cause we only really have 3 episodes to go and that's too short of a episode count to begin a new arc unless it's a short and silly one.
Hmmm I don’t entirely know what to say about this finale cause I’m torn over whether or not this ending disappointed me or if I was just overwhelmed by all the fan hype surrounding this show and in all actuality this finale was perfectly average. Here’s the thing. This show doesn’t entirely feel like it came to an end but as if we paused the story in order to tell it later. Yes the hex was fixed and yes the people of Westview are free to go but Wanda just discovered her new powers and is studying them. The funny thing is that I kinda expected her to go to Dr Strange cause if anyone could help her with magic in the right way it would have been him but instead we see that she’s reading the Darkhold making me wonder if she really will be the villain of Dr Strange 2 given that we know she’s in that movie. Haywood was arrested and Monica met up with one of the Skrull who I’m assuming are going to take her to the space station where Fury was in Spider-Man Far From Home. White Vision also did seem to get his memories back but he flew away and disappeared making me wonder if he’ll be a new character or not cause he’s still a robot given that he doesn’t have the mind stone in him. We also found out that Evan Peters was actually Ralph all along and he really was just stunt casting as a wink and a nod to the fans so I’m still hoping that Marvel will bring back Aaron at some point!
In two weeks I’ll be back with Falcon & The Winter Soldier!!
