What If...?: What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands? (2021)
What if... Doctor Strange lost my interest...
Come on, this episode was ridiculous and reinforces for me why I hate magic so much when it's used in storytelling like this.
There's any number of ways Dr Strange could of brought back Christine if he put his mind to it. But no he just kept trying the same method, over and over again. Regardless of warning upon warning. Good god, some of these characters need to get over themselves and spend some of their millions on therapy. I'm looking at you as well Bruce Wayne.
Still the animation was nice and I enjoyed the way the magical power was depicted, so not quite a total waste of time.
WandaVision (2021)
Indulgent and tedious
3 episodes in...
I understand it's an idealization by Wanda, of her relationship with Vision that she can never have (can't keep track, but he's dead right?) within the the framework of classic sitcoms. But it doesn't mean I'm finding it entertaining, and it certainly isn't art!
Mean Mums (2019)
There's been some mean reviews....
So I joined up with IMDB just so I could write this review.
I'm a week behind but I've just caught up with the first episode of this series and found it to be a wonderfully warm and funny show.
When looking for more about it, It's especially embarrassing that 6 of these have been given by men, I mean come on.
I'm a man (last time I checked, and I check often) and I found alot to laugh at in this first episode, starting straight away with the school's motto seen in the first scene"s establishing shot. There's a great cast, whether they be kids, teachers or the mums, giving naturally funny performances. Especially Morgana O'Reilly, who I've realised was also in the great NZ Horror/Comedy ""Housebound"" of which I'd been thinking fondly of just an hour ago.
I hope this show is finding it's appreciative audience, and that they are legion. Looking forward to many future episodes.
