Action-Adventure

Creature Commandos has been at its best and worst based on the strength of its flashback sequences, and Episode 6, “Priyatel Skelet”, is no different in that regard.

I’ve already asked for more Eric Frankenstein in Creature Commandos, and Episode 5, “The Iron Pot”, grants that request. And thank goodness!

Episode 6, “Zero Friends Again”, comes on the back of by far the most exciting and surprising installment.

Skeleton Crew has had its ups and downs, but Episode 5, “You Have a Lot to Learn About Pirates”, is pretty much perfect.

I must confess to being extremely impressed by the Season 3 finale of Marvel’s What If…?. Given the relatively small canvas it had – it...

The first half of Season 3’s two-part finale, ends up being really great despite being by far the most serialized that the show has been thus far.

Episode 6 of Marvel’s What If…? Season 3, which teams Shang-Chi up with Kate Bishop in a Wild West setting, is my favorite of this run by quite a margin.

Right after Marvel’s What If…? Season 3 reached its lightest, silliest note, Episode 5, “What If… The Emergence Destroyed the Earth?”, flips things on their...

Episode 4, “What If… Howard the Duck Got Hitched?”, plays out like a dare to come up with the weirdest MCU premise possible and then contort it into even stranger shapes as it goes.

If I have a persistent criticism of What If…? it’s that it rarely feels “what if” enough. The limitless possibilities of a speculative anthology should make this kind of thing really easy.

Episode 2 of What If…? Season 3, “What If… Agatha Went to Hollywood?”, reinvigorates that godforsaken movie and some of its concepts by pairing Agatha Harkness – very much Marvel’s flavor of the month after Agatha All Along – with Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo.

Everything that happens in Episode 6, “The High-Handed Enemy”, is in service to the kind of big-picture multi-season storytelling that HBO was doubtlessly looking for in a Duniverse project.

What if… the MCU had a baby with Godzilla and the Power Rangers? I have no idea how that would work genetically speaking, but the offspring would probably look a lot like the Season 3 premiere of Marvel’s What If…?

Now this is more like it. I was worried about Creature Commandos, I must admit, especially after it got so bogged down in simplistic political...

Episode 4 seems a little early for a show like Skeleton Crew to be resorting to filler, but “Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin” does feel a bit like that.

It’s fair to say that Dune: Prophecy hasn’t exactly resonated with viewers the way HBO probably wanted.

The best part of 1992 is undoubtedly the villain, which coincidentally is the part it focuses on the least. But it counts for something. There...

I still like Creature Commandos, and I still think it has a lot of potential, but Season 1, Episode 3 made me wonder if the...

I have no idea where or how Skeleton Crew fits into the wider Star Wars mythos, and I think that’s probably a good thing. I...

Amazon’s anthological series Secret Level is pretty unprecedented as far as such things go – a collection of animated video-game-inspired short films released in two...
