Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 9
Um okay so we're back with another episode of Legends in which I wonder just how strong the drugs were that the writers of this show took as they wrote the episode! I mean seriously Mick freaking Rory is pregnant with a brood of eggs that were laid in there by Kayla when they banged in space and I don't even know what in the hell to make of it. Where are we even going to take this storyline? Will it end up being that Spooner is actually one of Mick's? Are they going to come out as aliens and leave with Kayla at the end of the season? In other more logical news we got to know Behrad a little more. I still am not a fan of his whole stoner thing but it was interesting to see him play a different more douchey character as well. The show really is pushing him and Astra together which is meh and it also looks like we'll be seeing Zari 1.0 and 2.0 switch in and out of the totem like Caitlin and Killer Frost over on the Flash when they shared a body. I'm not sure how I feel about this cause I can't help but feel like we'll see less and less of 2.0 like we saw less and less of Caitlin. I like 2.0 and I like her relationship with Constantine much more than I like 1.0 and Nate and I just hope that we get 2.0 back when he returns.
The promo for next week seems to be focused entirely on the whole Lita and Mick being pregnant thing and the alien baby but the synopsis seems to hint that Constantine's hunt for the Fountain will be the A storyline which I'm much more interested in.
It was honestly so so so hard to even sit down and watch this episode this week cause I was so uninterested in this show and the forty minutes that I would have to dedicate to it when I could be watching so many other things. I mean it was the 150th episode and I've been looking forward to Impulse all season but I was also so worried to see him and to see him be done wrong like I expected. I really debated dropping this show like I did with Supergirl and Batwoman and Black Lightning but then part of me felt bad about it cause if I do Legends and Superman & Lois would be the only Arrowverse shows I watch and then I thought that at the very least I should finish up the season given there's only two episodes left and so here we are. As a whole it was better than the 100th episode for sure but not much more. It sucked that Wally was still MIA (the actor clearly is D.O.N.E. with this show) but it was nice seeing Jay again though it's weird that Jay's death is paralleled to Barry's mom being killed. I thought it was interesting of the show to have Bart claim Godspeed as his Reverse Flash and I'm hoping that next week we'll get the answers as to why Bart is August's nemesis when Nora and Barry are both older and exist in the future. I also want to mention that I was so utterly confused with what happened with Iris and the fact that her whole thing was apparently solved offscreen.
So the finale is next week and I'm sure it'll be disappointing as always but I do hope we see more of Bart and August and get something real that makes their enemy relationship feel less cheap.
Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 12
The release schedule for this show is really not doing it any favors cause every time there's a break I forget how much I enjoy this show! It's cause I've been so trained by the Arrowverse shows to expect most of them to suck (even Arrow had it's faults despite the fact that I have a soft spot for it a mile wide!) but like I say every episode this show is different. We caught up basically where we left off last time with Superman going off with Edge in order to save his family. Apparently Edge's plan was to put Zod in Clark's body and when that failed it seems like he's taken the consciousness of all the Kryptonians into himself. I might be wrong though cause from what we know this isn't a Caitlin/Killer Frost situation because the new consciousness takes over the old so maybe he only took on his father? Do we think that he's got increased strength now? In other news I liked that Lois told John Henry Irons about Superman being Clark and that he recognized that this Superman is different and I enjoyed seeing Diggle again though I'm still confused about his cameos across the Arrowverse and wonder if there's a plan in motion. The fact that this is the first that any of our original heroes have learned that the multiverse still exists after Crisis must be important! I do have to say though that low key my favorite part of this week might have been seeing Lana and Kyle and Sarah being a family. I'm really started to warm up to Kyle which is seriously unexpected given how little I liked him at the start!
Next week's promo doesn't actually show much other than the fact that it does look like Edge is still in control so maybe we are dealing with a shared minds thing now which high key might be cheap of the show to change it's rules now!
After having watched this finale I low key think this one might have redeemed all the other Marvel Disney+ shows in my mind cause I can suddenly see what a beautiful masterstroke they were in terms of building the next phase. I mean yes on one level they're all skippable cause there's nothing really that changes at the end of every show that can't be summed up in one sentence but if you're a completist or hate the idea of missing out on anything then they're worth it! With Endgame setting up time travel it was the first step into this new sci-fi world in which aliens are no longer the biggest threat we will have to face. After Sylvie killing the One Who Remains aka the Kang the Conqueror variant who kept the others at bay, the multiverse is wildly open and we know that Wanda is currently searching through them to find a version of her twins that she lost and Dr Strange will be attempting to stop her while Kang himself will appear as the villain of Antman 3 and I'm truly so excited. I do hope that since Loki left this whole thing intact and a hero of a sort that this means that it's not the end of Loki and we'll see him reunite with Thor and the others at some point soon as well!
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 16
This week we left Shoto, Deku, and Katsuki to focus on Froppy and Uravity while they did their work study with the Ryuku. I do wonder if this show would be the smidgenist better if I could binge it all at once cause I always forget so many things in terms of continuity! Like the mission of the week was to team up with Captain Selkie who we saw Froppy do her first internship with as they hunted down this group of terrorists who blew up a factory to steal chemicals that would be used to make Trigger that illegal drug that boosts quirks. So it's like I got all that and from what I can remember this whole quirk boost drug thing started back with the Emi arc when Red Riot beat that villain who used Trigger and Emi was being used to make anti-quirk bullets but with the show switching focus to the Liberation Army everything with Trigger has mostly fallen to the wayside making me think that the show will continuously seed that drug storyline in the background until shit hits the fan later which I think is the best use of it so we can be like oh in hindsight that was obvious!
