Netflix’s fourth Marvel hero series begins with the debut of Iron Fist in “Snow Gives Way.” The opening is odd, with a shadowy figure doing martial arts leaving inky smears behind his moves. It looks kind of cool, but a bit odd. I can’t say I really loved the title sequence. The show opens with…
Legion Chapter 5 picks up slightly after last time left off. David and Ptonomy are carrying Kerry back to Cary, who appears care-worn. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Kerry really doesn’t look good. Although I wonder where they got the stretcher from. There’s a flurry of activity to treat her while David tells Dr. Bird he met…
Iron Fist, the fourth of the announced Netflix series, begins streaming in March. As I’ve been doing for the other series, I’ll give a run down of some of the major characters before the show starts. I will say that as I write this, the show airs in roughly two months and this doesn’t seem…
Legion: Chapter 4 opens strangely, but that’s pretty much redundant with this series. This time, they open with what seems like a rehearsal for some 60’s themed tv show. The man who seems to be playing host seems to practicing his lines as he sets the stage for this week’s oddness, which gets even…
The strangeness that is Legion continues with “Chapter 3.” Given how odd the show is, I keep waiting for one of the episodes to randomly veer away from the Chapter title, but it hasn’t happened yet. Then again, the show has plenty of weirdness on its own, and probably doesn’t need to rely on episode…
The Agents of SHIELD have a really hard time of things in “Self Control.” As we saw last episode, much of the team has been captured and replaced by LMD’s. The few real agents left at the top are going to have a hell of a job stopping the LMD’s from taking over and replacing…
There’s a scientific principle that correlation doesn’t equal causation. In other words, just because there seems to be a connection between two things, it doesn’t mean that one makes the other happen. This is something that Watchdog Superior Ivanov clearly doesn’t have a handle on. He is convinced that all the aliens, big disasters,…
“Chapter 2″ continues Legion’s kind of trippy story. It’s a very well crafted show with some really stunning visuals and some really interesting ideas. I’m not entirely sure why it’s so sharply separated from the X-Men movies, since the show’s on Fox, and Fox is the studio doing those films. It’s an even odder…
The Agents of SHIELD get a new problem to deal with in “Boom,” which also gives us a new spin on an old Marvel villain. I’m not wild about the LMD plotline dragging on as long as it is, but this one has some interesting nuances to it. It’s not the best episode for the…
Legion is the latest in the current flood of super-powered television shows. In the comics, the character is the son of Charles Xavier, best known as Professor X, leader of the X-Men. Legion, whose real name is David Charles Haller, is a vastly powerful mutant, with a unique twist. In the comics, at least, he…
