What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

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

Stargirl Season 2 Episode 7

Okay so I seriously love that like the characters themself we the audience really can't tell if what's happening with Yolanda's headaches is Eclipso or Brainwave or Yolanda's guilt. Like it's been going on longer than Eclipso has been freed and I know a ton of people theorized that Brainwave really did put himself in Yolanda's brain but I think that if I had to make a guess I would say that it started out as Yolanda's guilt and now it's Eclipso expanding on that fear. It looks like he knows who to target one by one and it's clear that next is Beth. On that note it was interesting that Yolanda and Courtney finally told everyone what happened in the tunnels and it sucks that though Beth was the only one to not understand why Yolanda did what she did, one negative opinion was enough to convince Yolanda that she was a sinner. I hate that all this has just pushed Yolanda back into her terribly abusive family cause before this she was doing so well! She had friends and a job and was living her life! In other news I do have to say that maybe it's the Superman & Lois stan in me but I think my favorite part of this show might also be the family kicking ass part. I adored that final scene when the four were sitting around the dining table discussing JSA problems!

What If Season 1 Episode 7

In the midst of depressing episode after depressing episode it was nice to finally watch a low stakes episode that was actually funnier than expected! In this world Loki was not adopted by Odin so Thor grew up alone and spoiled and so never really grew out of his party stage. When Odin entered his Odinsleep, Frigga went off to visit her sister and Thor descended to Earth to party the planet away which SHIELD did not appreciate. I thought the whole thing was super fun and I liked seeing that Thor and Jane would fall for each other no matter who they were. I also thought that SHIELD was a little extreme in deciding that they needed to drop a nuke on Thor to get him to stop as if they wouldn't be bringing a whole ass alien race to war and really maybe it's my dislike of Captain Marvel but her whole vibe was really no fun. The end was absolutely hilarious though with Jane calling Frigga to tattle on Thor and that everyone was terrified of her enough to clean up Earth and pretend that they were all just studying. I'm not entirely sure what arrived at the end but it looked like Thanos with the Infinity Stones several years too early.

Titans Season 3 Episode 9

Truly I will never understand Titans both as a show and a concept. Like we spent all episode in the Afterlife where we followed Donna, Tim, and Hank as they attempted to return to the living and I don't understand what's happening for real. I thought this would be the perfect way to bring Hank back and then in turn negate whatever real evil Jason did so he could return to being a Titan but then Hank sacrificed himself to let Donna and Tim return and now I'm confused again. Maybe the fact that Hank chose to move on or let go or whatever will make the other Titans less inclined to hate Jason for killing him? I did like the idea that he found Donnie again though cause that made my heart soft. Also confusing is whatever mess Bruce is in. I have hated this show's version of Bruce Wayne since he was introduced but like now it's an even weirder. Like okay so apparently he wrote up his will and then killed Joker and then fled Gotham and tried to kill himself? And where in the hell did Donna appear from cause her body was definitely supposed to be on Themyscira? 

FINISHED My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 25

We returned to what feels like the normal My Hero shenanigans and man was it a breath of fresh air. I'm truly so excited to see what I think will be the actual big arc that changes everything in this world next season! We've jumped forward 4 months to April in which our heroes have gone from first years to second years and at the same time Tomura will have completed whatever experiment is being run on him. The doctor did mention the fact that he's studying quirk singularities too and that got my attention given that's what Deku was told too. Like All Might said One For All had been slowly strengthened over time through the multiple quirk holders that wielded it and now it's reached peak performance inside Deku. Maybe he should have gone through Tomura's evil training too cause I'm starting to wonder if he's anywhere near the League in terms of strength!
