Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
This was a strange episode cause it was graduation but all our main characters are first or second years so it was mostly a goodbye to the side characters and that confused me. I still don't know if this season has 13 or 25 episodes and I can't help but think this was a waste if there really are 13! Now don't get me wrong I loved the Yuki and Machi stuff and dude Yuki's got moves when he wants to make them but it feels like we hit pause on the whole curse plot to do school stuff and I'm like but but but what about Ren and Rin and Akito and Shigure?? Okay but seriously I liked the peak into Machi's backstory and naturally as is the trend in this show, her parents aren't exactly perfect either and the whole reason they kicked her out clearly had nothing to do with whether they actually believed that Machi was going to hurt her brother and more probs to do with the fact that she was a stain on their perfect new life. Yuki was so calm and sweet listening to her and being there without being too intrusive and my heart grew three sizes when he casually broke a piece of chalk knowing how she felt. The rest of the episode was meh but the ending had me sitting up in attention. It looks as though Rin was locked up in the cat prison cell and that maybe Akito cut her hair off based on the scissors and the strands of hair we saw. Maybe Akito found out that Rin ran into Ren and this is her punishment?? Yikes.
So the finale for this show aired this week and I have to say that it was a pretty solid run. I mean I enjoyed it more than Wandavision but that might only have been cause it followed two characters I was much more interested in than due to writing. I could not give a single shit about anything related to the Flagsmashers and I can't help but feel like Sam really didn't go through anything in this show that would have allowed him to change his mind about his ability to be Cap other than seeing that Walker wasn't the guy but if I've learned anything about these Marvel Disney+ shows then it's that at the end of the day, the status quo is pretty much returned to normal cause if someone doesn't watch them then they can pick right up where the movies left off. I did really love Sam's Captain America suit and it was clearly what was in the box that Bucky gave him from Wakanda though I'm curious if the suit is vibranium like the shield. All the Flagsmashers ended up dead either cause of Zemo (which was hilarious) or Sharon who also ended up being revealed to be the Power Broker which is meh in my opinion. Though I wish that the Power Broker had been someone like the Mandarin to set up Shang Chi, it's also the easiest way to explain Sharon's deal and I really need to stop letting my expectations run wild. I wonder if she'll end up being the villain of a future Captain America movie given where we left her. I also liked Bucky giving closure to that old man and Sam adding Isaiah to the Steve Rogers memorial almost made me tear up. All in all this was a fun enough show and I'm now counting down the minutes until the Loki one which has always been the Marvel Disney+ show I've most wanted to see.
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 5
Okay so this arc is definitely going to be rough because I really really cannot find myself doing anything but cheering for class 1A to win. Like I mean writing wise it would make sense for class 1B to win sometimes but so many of my favs are spread out across different teams and I really wish for them to win and prove that they're worth adoring as much as the main three usually are! If anyone has to lose, I'd rather it by Katsuki and Deku's teams! Anyway we focused a bit on Tokoyami this week and how he spent both his work study and his internship with Hawks. I was really surprised at the reveal that Hawks was a terrible mentor to Tokoyami cause I always thought that Hawks seemed like the kind of guy that would love to be a mentor but I guess it just goes to show you that you can't judge a book. His favorite hero was Endeavor afterall! On that note it does seem like Hawks either infiltrated the villain squad back around season 1 or had been planning on it since then cause he was really interested in hearing about how 1A was attacked from Tokoyami. I did also really love the new move that Tokoyami created and it endlessly makes me smile to see just how our kids keep growing their powers.
