Acolyte Destiny Choice Review: Too Many Unanswered Questions
This video is my review of episodes 3 and 7 of The Acolyte. Episode 3 titled Destiny and episode 7 titled Choice should be the two most important shows of the season since they set up and explain the main question of the show: what happened in Brendok. Episode 3 was certainly controversial for many reasons but episode 7 was supposed to provide crucial answers. Unfortunately, it gave us even more questions and the answers we did get were disappointing. For one, it was never explained why Sol was so determined to make Osha his Padawan. He is the driving force behind everything that happens yet we still have no explanation why he is so driven to do this. I believe a better explanation in episode 3 would have shown us why he wants a Padawan so badly. Also, what did Indara do to Kelnacca to break the witches' spell over him and why did that cause them to die? That was very strange to see and, again, an explanation of this would have helped make this clear. As for Torbin, episode 7 did not provide enough reasons for why he was so sullen when we first meet him. He should have had a much bigger hand in the tragedy for him to feel the way he did. If anything, Sol would have felt that amount of guilt since it was his actions that caused everything. Also, Mae watched Sol take Aniseya down right in front of her. It seems strange that she would not blame him solely responsible and want to get rid of him first. Mae also seemed unsure of herself throughout the season as she changed he mind on what she truly wanted. Watching Sol do that should have made her extremely clear on what she wanted; vengeance. I enjoyed the Kelnacca lightsaber battle against Torbin and Sol though. I wish it was longer and more destructive. I also like the actors who portray Aniseya and Sol. They are the best parts of the show next to Qimir.

Acolyte Episode 1-2 Review: The Good the Bad and the Questionable
Переглядів 1064 місяці тому
This video is my review of episodes 1 and 2 of The Acolyte. This controversial Disney Plus TV show has made the headlines but for all of the wrong reasons. Lee Jung-Jae as Master Sol was by far the best part of the show. He dominates every moment he is on screen thanks to his superb acting. My favorite moments were when he sat with Osha as they reminisced about her Jedi training. It felt like a...
Ahsoka Season One Review: Lightsabers, Lore, but Still Needs More
Переглядів 2904 місяці тому
This video is my review of season one of Ahsoka on Disney Plus. I still liked the show overall but I believe three key changes would have made this show even better. Some of the best moments were the lightsaber battles! There were so many to choose from and the best were between Ahsoka and Marrok, Ahsoka and Bayan, and Ahsoka vs Anakin. The Ahsoka vs Marrok battles definitely had an old school ...
Why the Villains in Ashoka Are So Great

This video is my review of episodes 5 and 6 of Ahsoka on Disney Plus. I have always believed the better the villain, the stronger the hero must become to defeat them, the better the story. I am really liking the villains in Ashoka so far and I hope they do more damage going forward. We have been waiting a long time to see Grand Admiral Thrawn who is the next 'Big Bad' of Star Wars. I liked how ...
Ahsoka Episode 3-4 Review: This is the Star Wars We Have Been Waiting For
Переглядів 9Рік тому
This video is my review of episodes 3 and 4 of Ahsoka on Disney Plus. This is the Star Wars we have been waiting for because we have a complex character in Baylan Skoll, great lightsaber fights, and a question on if our heroes should continue on this journey. Baylan Skoll is by far my favorite character on this show. He may be cold-blooded, but he also will use reason to his advantage. The scen...
Ahsoka Episode 1-2 Review: The Best is Yet to Come

This video is my review of episodes 1 and 2 of Ahsoka on Disney Plus. Previous Star Wars shows like Obi Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett were a bit disappointing, but I believe Ahsoka is set up to deliver a much better story with several great payoffs by the end. I love lightsaber battles and we get to see some right away as Ahsoka fights off droids in the opening minutes of episode 1! But ...
Why Secret Invasion Failed and How It Should Have Gone
Переглядів 14Рік тому
This video is a review of the Secret Invasion show on Disney Plus. The Secret Invasion finale left a lot to be desired and one of the main reasons why is because of the CGI battle between Gravik and Giah. Secret Invasion should have been a more grounded spy thriller where Fury shows off his superior intellect and ultimately takes down the evil Gravik. But sadly none of that really happened sinc...
Secret Invasion: Why No One is Watching But Why You Still Should
Переглядів 11Рік тому
Secret Invasion is actually a good show that no one is watching. In part because no one cares about the Skrulls who were introduced back in Captain Marvel. Most don't really remember what happened to the Skrulls in the movie because they either didn't watch it or didn't like it. And the Skrulls have showed up only a couple of times in the MCU since then. Another reason why people are not watchi...
Why The Mandalorian Is Not About The Mandalorian

This video explains why The Mandalorian is no longer about The Mandalorian. I still think this has been a really good show in spite of a few interesting choices. Season three of The Mandalorian was clearly about expanding the Star Wars universe. Mando's baptism was resolved in two episodes so the rest of the season was all about Bo Katan reclaiming her throne. Mando even became a sidekick in hi...
The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 2 Review: Too Much Too Soon
Переглядів 274Рік тому
Here is my review of season three episode two of The Mandalorian. I still really like this show but I think they are moving a little too fast. In fact, I believe this episode should have been at the end of the season, hence the title 'Too Much Too Soon'. The main reason why I feel Mando's 'baptism' should have happened later is because the first episode of the season focused directly on a child...
Three Good Reasons Why The Mandalorian Is So Great

Here is my review of season three episode one of The Mandalorian. I have absolutely loved this show and I believe there are three main reasons why it is must see TV. I have loved the simple premise of this show, how much respect we have for Mando, and the great locations he travels to. Of course Baby Yoda (Grogu) and that great action certainly helps, but I believe we tune in because of the Man...
She Hulk Episode 4-7 Review: Where it All Went Wrong
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
Here is my review of the episodes 4-7 of She Hulk. It has so far been a major disappointment that with a few changes could be so much better. This may be a law show but we do not see Jennifer solving cases as an attorney often enough. We need to see her as the smart, resourceful attorney she is supposed to be. Also, I think the comedy takes away from the more serious messages the creators want ...
She Hulk Review: Two Major Fixes Needed

Here is my review of the first three episodes of She Hulk. This is the latest MCU show on Disney Plus and it has been controversial to say the least.

Here are two main changes I would make to Episode 5 of the Obi Wan Kenobi show on Disney Plus that I believe would make this episode perfect.

    Only way to fix it is to start over with a different actress who actually watched The Clone Wars and understands the character. Ahsoka wasn’t some dour emo arrogant angry a&& hole; she was a fundamentally positive, centered individual with good character that let that character guide her loyalty to her friends and her opposition to those that would hurt them. Plus Rosario Dawson can’t handle a light saber choreography to save her life. Her fighting looks ridiculous.

    He makes some points but his first point is funny. From a story telling perspective having the Jedi be more emotional and less disciplined is good for plot. But then we’re just saying the character was written as “too” close to the light side to be entertaining.

    The Character is fine. The problem is the writing. How about hiring real writers instead of the woke activist they are using now.

    Yea, it should have been a shoo-in. It has moments of brilliance, but so much wasted screen time, like someone is padding the script.

    You're right. Compare Ahsoka's reaction to seeing Ezra again to her reaction in Rebels when she saw Rex again. Even the animation revealed much more emotion, but subtle and overt, than Rosario Dawson did in live action. I don't think that's Dawson's fault. I think for some reason Ahsoka as a character is being directed to be an "inscrutable wizened monk" trope instead of the Ahsoka she's been in the Clone Wars and Rebels. They've made her more like Yoda, when she'd always been more like Anakin. And, no, an additional ten years wouldn't make that difference. In fact, Dawson played Ahsoka more as we knew her during her guest spot on The Mandalorean under different direction. Your comments about Sabine are even more cogent.

    i have had a hard time getting over the age. from the first time she was introduced in love action (mandalorian) i thought she was to old. in rebels she appears to be maybe 10 years older than sabine, within 5 of hera. in live action she looks 10-15 years older than sabine an 10 years older than hera. she is supposed to be 5years younger than anakin but looks more like 5 years older than anakin.

    The saddest part of what has happened to the Star Wars legacy is that today's audiences are unable to discern between good writing, storytelling, editing, acting and this crap. I understand that there will always be an audience for bad movies and tv shows, it's how garbage like 'The Rings of Power' manage to get made. Movie and television audiences have been conditioned by a very long string of badly written productions that happen to have the Star Wars trade mark 'attached' to them, because that's all they have in common with the spirit of the original trilogy. That people continue to support this trash has given me an insight into just how far the fan base has eroded. I can't wait to see how they react to the next regurgitation of the untalented 'misdirectors' and 'actorvists' that brought you identity politics, gender/race swapping and idiotic plot twists. They can call it 'Woke Wars...a New Trope' starring Ru Paul as the cross-dressing Ruke Skydragger/Luke Skywalker, with Bosco in the role of Obosco-Wantsome Knobby/Obi-Wan Kenobi and Lil Wop with his rendition of a vegan Screwcacca/Chewbacca or Screwy for short as they gayly flit about about the galaxy spreading ‘THE MESSAGE’……..and a few STDs. This franchise is completely cooked because of the clown-car of untalented hacks currently employed in Hollywoke, Californication. "Hollywoke Penisport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." ~Obosco-Wantsome Knobby

    she hulk presents women in an unfavorable light- would anyone like to see our children mock the behaviors of anyone on the show? the attorney doesn't come close to reality. if the characters were more realistic. than maybe we could watch this with our family.Its Disney- wholesome entertainment really? Alter the characters to be more realistic. Women being always "angry", the competition between her and her cousin was fun. but why would a law office want She Hulk to be an outward image- demeaning Jens law degree- and her life of using her hulk personality to get dates?

  • @alvinjohnson2402
    @alvinjohnson2402 Рік тому

    I totally disagree. Marvel needs more light-hearted, funny superheroes. Everything can't be this serious drama, world in peril, universe about to be destroyed story-lines. Endgame, multi-verse of madness covers those angles. This show is for younger generation, not the 25 to 40 demographics (Deadpool, etc.) Yes, they could take a "Perry Mason" type approach to her story-lines, which would give a cerebral touch where she uses her brain and secretly used her power to solve extraordinary crimes.

    Missed opportunity seemed to be the buzzwords for this show and it was frustrating. Especially when you consider having Tatiana Maslany who is a brilliant actress trying to prop up this poorly written garbage.
