Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Lucifer Season 5 Part 2
Wow what an intense second half of season 5! I don't know what I was expecting from this season going in but it definitely wasn't this and for that I'm so glad cause I love being pleasantly surprised. I mean naturally this is where the show was going right with Lucifer having started as the King of Hell only to end up God?? I really liked that we finally met the original God and that he was just as vague and mysterious as Lucifer made him out to be but I also liked that were hints of his goodness and benevolence too. I've watched a lot of asian dramas that use God or some creation Deity in their shows and every time those deities are selfish and antagonist and I liked that this show hit such a perfect balance. His retirement was totally strange and out there but I liked that he ended up going to be with the Goddess Of Creation in her universe and that it was all a plot by Michael to gaslight God and take the power for himself. I do wish that the angels hadn't been portrayed as one-note though cause they seem much more selfish and uncaring of humanity than I would have liked but maybe that's the point cause with Amenadiel and Lucifer really only being the two angels who have spent time on Earth of course they would be the only two that had a chance of being God and loving humans the way He did. Eve and Maze ending up together was precious but I'm still waiting for Ella to find out the truth given she's the only one left of the main cast who doesn't know! Also on the whole the Lucifer and Chloe relationship this season felt like it treaded the same waters we have for the past five seasons but I kinda like the idea that rather that Lucifer giving up everything and being mortal (like a lot of asian supernatural dramas tend to do which is my frame of reference cause I've watched so many recently) that it's Chloe instead that's embracing the supernatural by becoming immortal until she's ready to move to Heaven where she'll probs be God's wife like the Goddess Of Creation was. The only thing that sucked about this season was the fact that it killed Dan off who I've grown to adore as the seasons go on but more than that it sucked that Dan ended up in Hell after all.
This week was all about Tohru and Akito and how they really are two sides of the same coin though based on circumstances one reacted to her situation differently. Both are so utterly terrified of being alone and abandoned and I liked that the thing that reached Akito wasn't Tohru's kindness per say cause she's always had kindness from Kureno but Akito seeing herself in Tohru. I liked that it led her to realize what a terrible person she's been and how she's always spit in the face of Kureno's kindness and that it was Momiji and Tohru together that told her that there would always be room for forgiveness. I can't decide if this means that Akito is redeemed for all that she has done but I think there is room for repentance if Akito so wishes it. I do have to say that Kyo is still such an idiot for staying away especially after being so close to losing her and I don't exactly love the fact that Tohru will have to chase him again after being hurt but I think part of me would be glad to see her chase what she wants for once cause up to this point Tohru has always put the needs and wants of others before her. I just hope that the general audience doesn't turn on Kyo like I'm afraid they will cause they need to know that he's struggling too!
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 8
I want to start this review by saying I'm a little stunned with how good of an actor the kid playing Jon is. I mean seriously he's 19 and still is acting circles around half of the adult actors I've seen. His entire face during the scene where Lois opened up to him about losing Natalie was the actual reason I lost it and cried and I loved how fiercely he hugged her as if he could protect her from the world. This show is seriously leagues ahead of any other superhero show I've watched about family and I can't decide if it's the acting, writing, or directing but I think it's a little of all it. I was surprised at how quickly we sort of dealt with John Henry Irons and also that he left and sort of reconciled with Superman. I really wanted him to crash at the Kents like Jon made it sound cause it really would have been the funniest scenario but I guess he's leaving so we can focus on Morgan Edge and so he can make a triumph return later. Speaking of Morgan Edge it seems like he's actually putting Kryptonian sentience into human hosts and I don't entirely like that cause it gives off the vibe that all the Kryptonians are bad and want to enslave Earths. Sarah's whole thing also broke my heart a little cause if the Kents are the perfect example of a loving family, her's is a great example of a broken one. I don't even know how much of Sarah wanted to perform again but clearly she loved the attention her dad was giving her and spending time with him and it broke my heart the way she told him not to get her hopes up again.
Why does next week feel like a finale even though we know that this show has 15 episodes scheduled to air? Like nothing about this week felt like anything more than a middle of the season episode but the promo seems to be indicating that we're about to fight Edge which kinda is a good thing cause it will clearly cause people to tune in!
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 11
So we officially wrapped up the class competitions this week with Deku's team winning and with that Class A won on the whole thing having only lost one competition and tieing in another. The interesting part of this week was the fact that Deku was able to control the dark whips for a minute or so cause he was able to calm his heart down enough to use them. The sucky thing though was that naturally he discovered that he can't actually use the power without really hurting himself so he has to save it until he's mastered One For All though I imagine like with One For All Deku will use it when he's desperate uncaring of the toll it'll take on him. I am assuming though that with this class competition being over that maybe we'll return to Endeavor and Hawks next week but I guess I'm most curious to know how our kids will end up involved cause duh they can't just be on the sidelines the whole time!
