The crux of the 'My Hero Academia' franchise has never shined so brightly.

In its sixth season, the stakes have … Continue reading My Hero Academia SPOILERS // Season 6 Part 1: ‘Paranormal Liberation War’ Arc!
It's quite telling that the Marvel Cinematic Universe describes every sequel of theirs as highly anticipated because the idea of three 'Ant-Man' movies is genuinely not what anyone thinks of as necessary. While the title is admittedly amazing, 'Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania' is as befuddling to comprehend not just as a third movie for … Continue reading ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’… What The Hell.
The appeal of a comic-book movie is or used to be the fact that it presented these very grounded, human stories with the use of fantastical elements and epic science-fiction to explore those emotions on a much larger scale.

Being an MCU fan means getting excited for a project that looks unique and different from the others only to watch it and slowly realize it's diluting to the same thing you've seen ten other times last year and the year before that.

At this moment in time, the MCU is in shambles, the fatigue is quite real and when the output of content surpasses the output of quality is which is severely lacking, the fans get rightfully fed up. In fact, I didn't even bother watching this one in theatres and waited till it became available on … Continue reading ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’: A Colossal Waste Of Time.
In almost all aspects related to the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' fails to serve the episodic nature we've grown so accustomed to. Fan-favourites Doctor Strange, Wong and Wanda Maximoff return to either repeat character arcs or go through little to no development in a movie that doesn't really care … Continue reading Sam Raimi’s Dark and Mystical Multiversal Horror Flick and The New ‘Doctor Strange’ Movie.
Just as the cinematic entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have formed their own formula, it seems that the small-scale Disney+ entries have also found theirs.

In a time where Spider-Man is at his most saturated with multiple versions taking up the mantle all at once, it's a genuine treat to look back on past iterations and examine them through a new lens. With 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' and especially 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', grief seems to be a central theme … Continue reading ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Perfectly Encapsulates Peter Parker’s Tragedy.
The biggest lie this show has spread so far is that 'WOWOW, it's all right. Everything will be alright' bullshit in its opening. In the second half of its fifth season, 'My Hero Academia' introduces its darkest arcs yet and honestly, this might be one of my favourite seasons of 'My Hero' ever.
