Superman and Lois: Season 1 Episode 2: Heritage: Review

 Episode 2 of Superman and Lois ups the drama, and twists in the best way possible.

Jordan and Jonathan Kent's character development has been very impressive. This show almost feels like Stargirl, except with a more serious tone. I am looking forward to seeing how the boys will continue to adapt to the new town.

Lois Lane quitting her job at the Daily Planet was a shocker. I am very impressed with the ways the writers are trying to separate these versions of the characters from previous versions of the characters in other movies and shows.

The reveal that Captain Luthor is from another Earth that was destroyed by an evil Superman is another excellent example of how the writing keeps impressing me. I good version of Lex Luthor that is just paranoid and wants revenge was the best way to go. I love it!

The acting in this series is much better than I was expecting. I love the fact that this show has a more serious tone to it, so the acting is better, because they had to cast more dramatic actors.

Overall, Superman and Lois' second episode is one of the best episodes for a show I have ever seen, and it looks like this show has a bright future ahead of it in many ways.

The Flash: Season 7 Episode 1: All's Well That Ends Wells: Review

 The flash returns in an emotionally strong episode that has us saying goodbye to no doubt the best actor in the series.

Nash, Chester, and Allegra working together to get Barry his speed back was very good. I loved the dynamic between the team, and while I was worried about how Allegra and Chester were going to mesh, they proved that they can hold their own, and I love their chemistry.

Iris being stuck in the mirror world was another way to showcase the strong acting by Candice Patton. Her acting just keeps getting better and better each season. I wonder what will happen to her when she does end up escaping the mirror world.

Nash sacrificing himself so Barry could get his speed back was the most emotional death of the series ever, and arguably the most emotional death in the Arrowverse, behind only Oliver Queen. Tom Cavanagh always gave his best when he played different versions of Harrison Wells, and I hope that he returns in some form, such as Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash.

The ending where Eva realizes she isn't the real Eva had me confused. I really hope that they can clarify this next week.

I am going to miss Hartley Sawyer as Ralph (I still say that it was stupid why he got fired considering he made that tweet years and years ago), and nobody will be able to top him in my opinion.

Overall, despite a very confusing ending, Flash's season 7 premier starts off on a powerful and emotional note, that will thrill longtime fans of the series, and it features a stellar performance from Tom Cavanagh, and plenty of great humor as well.

WandaVision: Season 1 Episode 8: Review

Been busy, and The Flash is back tonight, so this will be a quick review.

Episode 8 of WandaVision finds Elizabeth Olsen giving her best performance, and it also has some excellent plot twists, a jaw dropping ending, plenty of emotion, and plenty of good things ahead of it for the finale later this week.

Superman and Lois: Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot: Review

 While it has its flaws, Superman and Lois has plenty of potential to justify its own existence.

While the overall story line lacked action, and the drama with the two twins felt forced, the story line's overall tone, heart, and questions more than made up for it. I love the tone of this series compared to The Flash.

The acting in this episode was superb, compared to other CW shows. Tyler Hoechlin is arguably the best actor to portray Superman, due to the different emotions he has to convey. Bitsie Tulloch arguably plays the best Lois Lane as well. The teenage actors also held their own very well, which surprised the heck out of me.

The villain being revealed as Captain Luthor surprised me. I think that he is from a different Earth, that was destroyed, and he blames Superman from a different universe for it. Should be interesting as to what transpires.

Overall, While it has some obvious flaws, the tone, acting, heart, and characterization in Superman and Lois is enough to justify its own existence, and it has the potential to be a very good show for the CW, to help them replace Arrow.

WandaVision: Season 1 episode 7: Review

 The true villain is finally revealed, and it was not who I was expecting. But I am happy about this, because it means that Mephisto can show up at a different time.

Episode 7 reveals all, but we still need to find out what the endgame is in all of this. The humor was really good in this episode as well, and hopefully the next 2 episodes will be stellar.

WandaVision: Season 1 Episode 6: Review

 Episode 6 ups the horror and mystery, and boats plenty of humor to make it worthwhile.

The episode benefits from the humor, Evan Peter's return as Quicksilver, raising more and more questions, strong performances from its cast, and a jaw dropping ending to easily make this the best episode of the series. This show just keeps getting better and better.

WandaVision: Season 1 Episode 5: Review

 I am just going to make these quick reviews.

What in the wide world is going on? This episode was spectacular! Easily the best of the show!! Multiverse incoming I guess!!! The possibilities are endless!! Marvel, keep it up!!!!

Episode 5 of WandaVision ups the horror and mystery, and delivers on the jaw dropping cameo at the end, performances from Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, as well as showing how much of a threat Wanda is becoming! Though I wonder, is another person pulling the strings, my bet is on Mephisto if this is true.
