Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 12
Is anyone else's heart breaking this week? I mean seriously I was practically on the edge of tears all episode since I now know that this addiction storyline is leading to John Constantine leaving the show. Not only do I adore his character but this season has given me a new appreciation and love for Zari and Constantine and the soft way they love each other. I'm almost fairly certain that he's going to die by the end of this season and it's going to break Zari possibly in the way that will make her closer to 1.0 than we expected cause honestly that's a better story than if they simply breakup cause of his addiction and he leaves the ship. Zari's dated all sorts of bad guys as we've been told and I could never see her leaving him without trying to help him through it if she loves him like she said. I am really curious though to find out who this new character Matt Ryan will be playing and whether that one will get a romantic storyline with Zari too cause the show can't throw away the chemistry between Tala and Matt like this! In other news Bishop is alive and back like I expected cause duh we have like 3 episodes left and no villain so we needed him. I am curious to see what he's up to and how the Legends will not only react to him but defeat him. I also have to say that this Mafia/Werewolf roleplaying game was hilarious even if I wished they had played it for real a bit more.
Ah okay so it looks like the Legends are going to figure out something's wrong with John next week and it's about time cause I am so ready for the angst!
Stargirl Season 2 Episode 2
Courtney was a struggle to handle this week and it's interesting cause it makes sense why she acted the way she did and yet my heart didn't like it! Jennie was a sweetheart and it was honestly kinda rude of Courtney to not only treat her like a villain but also to focus so hard on the fact that Jennie is a legacy that she forgot that Jennie was an orphan who grew up alone. Fortunately Pat set her straight and Jennie was high key upgraded so she not only no longer has to charge the ring with the Lantern but now it seems like she's straight up a Lantern. I am disappointed in the fact that she's gone already cause I feel like she and Rick would have a lot in common given their upbringings and their shared connection as legacies but I'd like to imagine that Oa called her home to train her so when she comes back she's more badass even though honestly that's probs just a dream and we'll never get that. Though actually maybe she'll end up on that Green Lantern show that HBO and Berlanti will be producing? With Diggle fingers crossed?? But no seriously we also saw that Shade is back and the stone that Cindy was carrying basically hypnotizes people so now I can see how she would get Mike to join her.
Ah looks like Mike finds the pen and becomes a hero though I imagine that Courtney is going to try to stop him and that'll be what pushes him away into Cindy's evil clutches.
FINISHED Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 15
Guess who toooootally didn't cry when she watched Clark give his eulogy for his father at that little funeral they had?? Alright you caught me. I cried like a baby! This was a pretty amazing finale and it highlighted everything I adored about this show from the start to the end. It's the most character centric show of the Arrowverse so once all the punching and fighting was finished, we were able to settle back with our characters and see how they've grown. I liked the idea that Edge's final words were about wanting a family and that Clark responded with you would have had one if only you reached out to me before. Cause it's totally true! The Kents have been begging John to stay and like he originally didn't want to but now that Natalie is here I'm sure this is going to end with an awkward situation in which Lois might have to be a mom to two families and I wonder if the boys will get jealous at all or if they'll just embrace the crazy situation and be happy they have a sister now. Tbh I could see more of the second than the first based on what good people they are but low key the drama is in the first and I could also see that happening. I'm also not surprised in the slightest that Lana and Kyle decided to stay cause duh but I also really liked Clark's speech as Superman about Smallville finding it's strength when it needed it. I'm definitely going to miss this show and be counting down the days until it's back!!
I had a lot more fun with this week's episode than the last one which was interesting cause you would have thought at first glance I would be more interested in Peggy than T'challa but I think the problem with Peggy's episode was that it felt like a rehash of Captain America: The First Avenger rather than her own story whereas here T'challa and Peter are two completely different people so no matter the fact that they were raised by the same person they reacted to things differently. It was a sweet send off for Chadwick Boseman too given that this was officially the last thing he filmed in the Marvel universe given that he was basically a galactic hero. I loved that he was the one to convince Thanos that his plan was terrible and to give up before it got worse and that he and Nebula had a bit of a romance brewing cause of course he did. I also loved that he was able to reunite with his family back in Wakanda at the end and that he brought his alien family with him. I did think it was interesting that we never saw Gamora or any of the other Guardians other than Drax in a comedic moment but I suppose if T'challa stopped Thanos before he attacked Gamora's homeworld then she wouldn't have left. I also found it interesting that he didn't end up joining the Nova Core or something given that he was still a good man rather than a criminal like the original Starlord was. I also really liked the button at the end that told us this world is doomed since Peter met his dad and wouldn't have the same gripes that our Peter had with Ego.
So as it turns out Scarecrow is the one pulling Jason's strings and I'm really not a fan of this whole thing. Now I don't mean in the sense that I don't think the writing works but in the sense that it's all so clear in hindsight and I'm just sad to lose Jason. I also think it's amazing how this show continuously shows us what a terrible person Bruce is even before he supposedly murdered Joker. Like the writers of this show clearly think Bats is the worst person in DC and it's fascinating that Dick is totally a slightly softer copy of him and I think that's hilarious. Scarecrow definitely had some sort of reaction to Dick being all cold and sociopathic and I loved it. On that note I was totally stunned that the show not only really did kill off Hank but also barely gave him a real goodbye! Like apparently all the mourning happened offscreen combined with Dawn leaving for Paris to process her emotions. It's like the show was like okay guys let's move on with the next plot now please. Speaking of the start of the Blackfire plot didn't actually go down the way I expected it to. Like apparently Blackfire isn't the out-and-out villain she's supposed to be and maybe she's actually just misunderstood or maybe part of the reason why she turned out the way she did was cause of Starfire.
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 20
I'm really curious about where this week ended up going and how we basically rewound back 2 months in order to see what the League Of Villains were up to so that when we do throw down with them in the future there will be more stakes. It seems as though I wasn't all right in guessing what's going on in terms of the League and Hawks. I assumed that the Liberation Army was just the newest method the League was using to sow chaos but in fact this week we saw that it's actually probs more like the League is playing along with the Liberation Army in order to infiltrate and destroy them like they did during the Eri arc last season. The Liberation Army seemed to be targeting the League and Hawks seemed to be targeting the Liberation Army and the trio sort of have stumbled on each other or so I can gather so far. I am curious about how this all went down in 2 months but I'll be open to the answer!
xoxo Allie
