It’s a war being fought in the shadows that’s already claimed a beloved MCU character, and at least implied that some others may have already met a dark fate. The Secret Invasion is continuing, and “Betrayal” could apply to a few developments in this episode.
The adventures of the world’s weirdest supers (note, I didn’t say superheroes) continue as the Doom Patrol gets close to the end of their third season. Rita is actually motivated for once, having a vested interest in stopping Madame Rouge now. The rest of the team, as usual, is wrapped up in their own drama…
The Secret Invasion is here, and things are getting complicated. Like with many Marvel movies, the bad guys here at least have an understandable motivation.
One of the Titans’ biggest foes in the New Teen Titans run was Brother Blood, a powerful cult leader. One of Blood’s inner circle gives us the title for this episode as the team clashes with “Mother Mayhem.”
The next installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off on Disney+, with another six-part series that combines some familiar characters and some new ones, creating a new threat. Adapting a major comic book story, with the required necessary changes for the screen, is always a difficult task, but I think they did reasonably well with the first episode of Secret Invasion.
There’s a lot going on in “Uncontrollable Forces” and many subplots, most of which link up one way or another. I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, as I almost always do with this series, but it just seemed to go on longer than usual. Which I was fine with, it was great, but it’s an odd phenomenon I’ve notice from time to time.
The always impressive Olivia Coleman joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portraying a British Intelligence agent named Sonya Falsworth. While this character is an original, the Falsworth name has a history in Marvel Comics.
Into the Spider-Verse was a great story and a fantastic adventure. I was excited when they said there would be another movie, and it was worth the wait. Across the Spider-Verse is finally here, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint.
Despite the group calling itself the Justice Society of America, it’s more like Infinity, Inc. for the majority of the members. They draw in some more elements from that title in the appropriately enough titled “Frenemies: Chapter Eight: Infinity, Inc. Part Two.”
They manage to tie up a lot of loose ends, explain many things, and even reference their Holiday Special a few times as the Guardians suit up one last time. Maybe.
