Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 14
This week was the penultimate episode and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in it. I mean Bishop's plan was pretty solid and I enjoyed watching him low key win but John's death felt kinda meh and I'm really not thrilled that his final moments weren't even with Zari! I bet though that there's a way to say the Fountain given the fact that with it (and John) dead Spooner dies too and I can't imagine that is how this season will end cause I still think that Spooner will end up moving back with her mom in the past and spending the rest of her life there given that's what she always wanted. If this does happen it's possible that John comes back too and maybe he's done enough terrible things to warrant Zari dumping him and him leaving the ship to repent or whatever. Or maybe he'll return as a new person after spending so much time with the Fountain and it's goodness and that's why Matt Ryan will be playing a new character. I do think it's kinda funny that Bishop's current evil plan is just to give up on Earth given that his original plan to save humanity kept being spoiled and I liked the idea that the Fountain (and mushrooms apparently lol) is an alien species meant to protect the Earth.
The finale is next week and it looks like we'll end up getting a spur of the moment wedding between Sara and Ava before aliens invade to destroy the Earth. I'm more curious to see where Bishop will fit in and how Zari will react to what happened with John. By the way Behrad better be back cause it makes no sense that he has just been missing these last two episodes!
Stargirl Season 2 Episode 4
I am fascinated by what's going on with the Shade cause I can't tell what level of evil he is! Like all of the ISA is bad but to varying degrees and that's really evident when seeing the Crocks. They really do love Artemis and want what's best for her and I pity her for how she's going to be used by Cindy. It kinda weirds me out that Cindy is about to mind control everyone into joining her version of the ISA using Eclipso cause it feels cheap to me. Like wouldn't it be better if she somehow gaslighted them into believing in her? I suppose though that this way it's easier for the JSA to beat her cause the second they take away Eclipso she'll lose her team too and maybe that's why we're going this way? I also guess it's important to note that it was Eclipso who killed Dr Midnite's daughter in the premiere like we saw and that actually Dr Midnite is alive in Shade's shadows though for what I'm not sure. Going full circle with the whole varying level of evils thing, Shade seemed genuinely horrified at the thought of Eclipso killing a ten year old girl and he seemed to struggle with the fact that Courtney is just a kid making me wonder if he also had a child that he lost so part of him yearns to protect other children.
This was an interesting what if scenario if a bit meh cause I personally think Dr Strange is at his most interesting when he's interacting with other Marvel characters rather than in a standalone situation but it also probs didn't help that this episode followed last week's which was defs a high bar. I do also have to say that I haven't watched Dr Strange since it first came out in theaters so I really did forget that Dr Strange had a love interest but it was creative to say that he lost his heart in that accident rather than his hands. I liked the idea that the Ancient one split Steven into two pieces and in a way separated his conscience from his impulses and that in the end it didn't matter cause evil Dr Strange went through with his plan even though everyone and everything warned him that it wouldn't work. I kinda like how it ended with him destroying his universe and being alone forever to wallow cause it felt like karmic justice.
I'm not entirely sure that I understood what the plan was with Jason and him stealing some of the fear gas in order to sell on the streets cause it looks like he gave it to some thugs who shot up Tim Drake's noodle house while he watched. Normally I would have guessed that he targeted Tim cause Tim's a future Robin except according to Bruce's Robin files Tim wasn't on it cause Tim had a happy life so he didn't fit Bruce's MO. It also doesn't exactly look like the thug killed any of Tim's family so maybe it won't matter anyway? In other news we saw flashbacks of Dick and Barbara and I'm going to be really interested to see which girl this show thinks Dick belongs with cause in the comics it's usually Barbara but I've always have a soft spot for Starfire given that my first outing into the DC world was probs Teen Titans! I mean not that this Kory has time for romance in between juggling being Team Mom and Blackfire. I still can't read Blackfire but I did like her conversation with Connor about wanting a place to belong. Connor and Gar are truly the softest bois and deserve to be protected at all cost. I'm also curious about the fact that we still haven't seen Raven this season and I wonder if the show cut her out like Dawn and Hank cause people didn't like them as much as the others?
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 22
I'm struggling with this arc guys and it's a hundred percent entirely my fault. Like on one level I can understand why others enjoyed it but I'm kinda the worst person to impress when shows or movies do the thing where they put aside their main characters to give attention to others. I don't need more backstory on the League cause honestly I'm not the kind of person who needs their villains to be sympathetic and before this I felt like we had plenty over the course of a few minutes during these past five seasons. I mean yeah it's cool that they're all getting past their mental traumas and upgrading like we've seen a lot of our heroes do but unless this whole thing culminates in a big fight with the heroes I'm just meh.
xoxo Allie
