Hello everyone and welcome back! Because of my new schedule I've decided that these posts will be moving to Sundays! Now let's dive right in shall we?
I really should stop being surprised at the fact that this show has gone from the life and times of Hori and Miyamura to an ensemble show in recent weeks. I do enjoy getting to know all the side characters but I do miss seeing Hori and Miyamura be cute together. Both episodes actually felt more like vignettes rather than one story cause we caught up with a lot of characters. Akane struggles with talking to people casually except with Yuki a thing that both Hori and Toru noted in different ways and the shipper in me was thriving over the crumbs we got of Toru liking Yuki. He admitted that he liked her but he also likes their relationship right now so I don't think he's planning on confessing anytime soon not to mention the fact that the kids will be graduating in a semester. Honoka is getting better at being around guys though she finds Shu the scariest though I have a feeling that if this were a long running show that these two would end up together and maybe that's still true in the manga? We also met Shu's younger sister and I'm totally fascinated by Shu and which side of him is the real him cause we know that he's super loud and boisterous in school but at home he's quiet and brooding. I wonder if he's naturally quiet and has forced himself to be this over-the-top character cause it's easier to make friends that way? Miyamura also proposed to Hori this week which totally stunned me but I suppose in Japan it's much more common to get married young than it is here in the states so I mean good for them?
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 5
This week wasn't my favorite of the chunk of episodes we've had so far cause something about the whole plot of the episode was kinda boring and idk why exactly. Smallville was having their Harvest Festival which was ruined because one of Morgan Edge's experiments accidentally shot up the place with his heat vision. Jonathan got dumped by his girlfriend over the phone and it was the catalyst to him finally exploding and telling his family about his feelings over the move and his life. I was honestly really disappointed in how the show dealt with this cause up to this point Jonathan has been a perfect son and brother and I wish the others would see that he's struggling and help him too alongside Jordan. Giving him a family heirloom and asking him to give Smallville more time isn't exactly helpful mom and dad! We also saw that Sarah and Jordan were supposed to have their first date this week but in the end Sarah asked Jordan if they could just be friends cause between her mental health and her family she doesn't think that she has the capacity to date on top of everything else. I suppose it's also important to know that Captain Luthor is definitely from a Flashpoint world cause he reveals that he was married to Lois in his world and she usually is married to Lex in Flashpoint where Superman is evil.
Hmm okay so it looks like we're actually taking time off until May cause of pandemic production problems during which time Supergirl will air it's final season which tbh I will not be watching but all the more power to those who will so I'll see you all back then!
On the whole this episode wasn't a half bad episode of The Flash but the problem is that it was technically meant to be the season premiere and instead of setting up the villain for the season or even a bigger problem, we spent most of it dealing with leftover drama making me think that I was probs the problem for thinking that we'd get a clear divide between the old and the new. I did like that the episode touched on grief and trauma though of course having just watched Wandavision and currently watching The Falcon & The Winter Soldier I do have to say that it wasn't the best done version of trauma. Iris and Barry were both struggling with the aftermath of Iris being in the Mirrorverse. Barry cause he felt guilty for not realizing that Mirror!Iris was a fake and Iris for having missed out on 3 months of her life. I do kinda wish that Barry had been the one to go with Iris to the group therapy meeting rather than Allegra but I did really like the speech she gave. We also saw the return of Abracadabra which was fun but he died in the end by the hands of some giant purple monster thing. I honestly have no idea who she's supposed to be and cause the season has been so wonky we never actually learned who the villain would be before starting the show. The other thing I want to mention is that Caitlin and Frost have finally split apart like I wanted for a while now which means that we finally get Caitlin back while also having the meta Team Flash needs though poor Danielle Panabaker will be pulling double duty! Also I wanted to cry at the Oliver shout-out the show gave and I will never not be bitter over the shit this universe pulled in taking away Oliver's happily ever after.
Still no appearance of a Big Bad but we do get another meta of the week in some sort of Nightmare monster which should be fun.
FINISHED Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Episodes 24
I'm honestly so sad to say goodbye to this season of Jujutsu Kaisen cause it's been a true highlight to watch every week! I am thrilled that a movie was announced already though and I'm sure a second season will be coming soon given how popular this show was while it was airing! We wrapped up the mission from this week by defeating the cursed brothers though we learned that they were half human half spirit. Once again one of my favorite things about Itadori was showcased this week when he realized that these two weren't spirits and yet killed them anyway. Most shounen protags would be like no let's stop them with the power of love and friendship and work around what normal people would do just cause they're the protag but Itadori does what he has to and quietly mourns later. The trio are honestly such badasses and I was glad we ended this season showing us that exact thing. It also looks like they will be promoted to first grade jujutsu sorcerers after this given that they proved that they're not unranked novices and I'm curious as to what Gojou was doing at the end by calling in backup.
Hmm I'm not sure how I felt about this episode cause on the whole it was acting as a setup episode more than anything else though I was thrilled to see that Sam and Bucky were already together. I really expected Bucky's beef with Sam to be about how he was jealous that Steve didn't give him the shield so I actually really adored that the show took it the route of if Steve was wrong about you being ready to be Cap maybe he was wrong about me having good inside. It really was so hard to watch John Walker strut around acting like he really was Cap and calling Bucky and Sam Cap's wingmen and though Sam says he doesn't care and that there are more important things I bet deep down it's killing him and I bet he knows exactly why the government chose John Walker over him especially after meeting Isaiah. I don't love the idea that we have more super soldiers out there though cause I thought the whole thing that makes Steve special is the fact that he was one-of-a-kind and that Bruce became Hulk cause no one could reproduce the serum. Instead we find that not only did Hydra not make a whole bunch but also the US government with Isaiah? I did like the shout out to the Power Broker cause I have heard that he's supposed to be the one who created all these super soldiers so at least this isn't another Mefisto in Wandavision type of scenario!
We're finally back with a new season of My Hero Academia and I'm honestly so excited even if this first week was really meant to remind us of where we left off rather than really set up the season. Endeavor was in the hospital after his fight though we did learn that Dabi was involved in what happened and that Hawks met up with him which I know was meant to make us question whether or not Hawks is a spy or a double agent but I just can't see this show going that route. What I can imagine is that Dabi was like meet me here and I'll do x y or z for you. We also didn't get much from Deku cause last we saw he was reaching out to the previous heroes that had One For All like in the Avatar State but it looks like that will be something touched on next week. Instead we spent most of the episode watching Class 1A do a drill in which they had to stop a fire, rescue hostages, and fight two of the Big Three who were pretending to be villains. I do know that this season is supposed to be focusing a bit more on Class 1B especially given how they featured so prominently in the OP but I do hope that doesn't mean that we ignore 1A.
