What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 11

Honestly this episode was super weird guys and not in the usual fun Legends way. Maybe it's partially cause I didn't care about the whole bowling setup from the start and maybe it's also cause I've not been a fan of pretty much any of the storylines this season from the Zari swap to the Constantine drug addiction but either way I mostly just zoned out for most of this week. Having said that it wasn't all negative. I did end up liking the twist though where the Earth became a bowling bowl and that Zari 1.0 shooting one of Spooner's guns at the alien holding it helped the Legends win the game cause it was a perfect mix of Legends insanity. I also really enjoyed everything with Ava picking out her wedding dress with Gary and straight up I could have watched a full episode in which this was the A plot rather than the D plot! On another note I did wonder for a while if I severely overreacted to Constantine's drug thing last episode cause no one else that I saw who watched this show seemed to care but now the alien running the bowling alley mentioned this drug was going to kill Constantine and guys I will literally scream if this storyline kills off Constantine from this show.

Ooh next week is defs more my style with the Legends being forced to play a board game and especially since Zari 2.0 is back and I need her to realize that something's wrong with Constantine!

Stargirl Season 2 Episode 1

Stargirl is back with it's season 2 premiere and I can't help but wonder if it's just been a while since I've seen this show so I didn't remember the vibe or if Superman & Lois has pretty much ruined all DCTV Berlanti-verse shows for me with it's excellent writing. All that to say I felt pretty meh about this week's premiere which not only was slow but also had really choppy writing. Courtney was struggling hardcore with the idea that she and the others defeated the ISA last season which meant that she was ignoring everything in her life other than being Stargirl and the irony is that of course she's right that not everything is well given this is a superhero show! I think the villain of the season is supposed to be whatever that dark shadow-y thing was at the top of the episode but Cindy also came back and she's on her own recruiting mission though I'm not sure if I believe in any of the picks she made. I mean Cameron yeah I can see cause Icicle Jr is a villain but Artemis is traditionally a hero so like what the hell show. Also on what planet is Mike going to go against his family to be a villain? We also got the first appearance of the new Lantern who's apparently the daughter of Allan Scott who tbh is the Lantern I know the least about. Oops?

The promo for next week shows us that Courtney is going to be jealous of the new Lantern cause of how she bonds with Pat and that's honestly adorable.

Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 14

Ohhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. This show is so goddamn good!!! How in the hell did I not see this twist coming?? Of course Morgan Edge was going to take Jordan if he couldn't get Clark and it looks like he's placed his father inside of Jordan. Okay but seriously backing up a second when Edge absorbed the Eradicator it meant that Edge literally became it so now he has the ability to put Kryptonians into humans whenever he wants. I still am bitter about the fact that every Superman adjacent show other than the Syfy show Krypton has to have their villains be Kryptonians cause seriously a whole race isn't evil but I guess I'd imagine that a bad person like Edge's father would probs only take the minds of Kryptonians that agreed with him rather than a wide range of minds which is why they're all bad. Meanwhile Lana and Kyle have decided to move to Bristol but let's be honest there's no chance this season ends with them gone cause then Jordan would lose his love interest which is more important on a meta level than Clark losing a friend who we've literally not seen him spend any time with. I actually laughed when he called her his best friend. Like where? But on that same note we found out that the girl that Jonathan has been sort of seeing is from Central City and now it's a countdown to see which meta villain is her dad cause why else say that she's from the home of the Flash and has a dad in jail! 

Dudes I didn't realize that next week is the finale! Of course that's why this episode was so intense since it was the penultimate! I'm assuming that Sarah will end up finding out the truth cause she's too close now but I'm also really happy that we're spending more time in Metropolis. I really do wish this show had taken place there....

What If Season 1 Episode 1

I'm back with the newest Marvel Disney+ show and this time it's an animated one that kinda follows Loki in that we're exploring the multiverse but unlike all the others this one will probs be the one that most stands alone. I mean there are rumors that some characters (hello Captain Carter) that might join the MCU but on the whole it's meant to be a fun romp into new worlds. I like the idea of the Watcher narrating the whole thing and repeating the idea that branch timelines form through one small change. This week we followed Peggy in the what if scenario of what if she took the super soldier serum back in the 40s. I had a lot of fun cause obviously I'm always ready for more Peggy but tbh it was a slow start to what I think will be a fantastic show cause I think it mostly tread on the same story beats that Captain America: The First Avenger did. I did like the idea of Steve becoming the first Iron Man though cause of course building robot suits runs in the Stark blood! I can't wait to see what other crazy scenarios this show can cook up!

Titans Season 3 Episode 1, 2, & 3

Season 3 launched by releasing 3 episodes at once for some reason and it looks like this season is going to be The Red Hood arc mixed with Blackfire. I still think the show did nothing to show us that the Titans are a family especially after we spent almost all of season 2 fighting each other and now once again we're fighting each other and yet we keep being told by the characters that we are a family and it's like dudes you can't just keep saying the same thing over and over again and make the audience believe it. Having said that if you look past all that nonsense I do have to say that the writing this season is a lot tighter than I remember it being in previous ones. I can't actually believe that this show killed off Hawk but at the same time I can cause I'm sure the actor's like dudes I deserve better than this mess and the irony is that it was Dove herself that did it cause she not only physically pulled the trigger but also she refused to trust in the team. The more we see of her the more I dislike her and it's funny how unlike in most iterations of the Teen Titans it's Gar and Connor that I like most in this show though Dick's pretty close to being near the top despite what a hot mess he is. I do wonder who Jason is working for cause in the comics from what I remember it was Damian who tried to find a different prouder father figure and Jason worked alone. I'm sure that Bruce found out that Jason was alive and he probs watched Jason murder the Joker but took the blame in order to protect Jason. Either way I'm sure we've got a lot more craziness to go!

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 19

We're back this week after taking last week off due to the movie which I haven't seen yet since I don't live in Japan! The work studies have wrapped up and now it feels like we're in January since the students talked about winter break and the new year. We're coming up on the kids moving from their first year to their second and honestly it's hilarious how much they went through in all this time. I still can't help but wonder if this mega exciting huge manga storyline will even take place this season cause I still think that there's not enough episodes left to really dig deep but I'm open to whatever cause this show hasn't let me down yet. As it turns out the shadow creature that we've been following from the League of Villains was actually Present Mic and Aiwaza's best friend who died and whose body was corrupted by All For One into what he is now. We also found out something about a hospital which is probs where Tomura will end up attacking after he's been experimented on enough.
