As you are probably aware, Marvel has released a trailer, not just a tease, for Avengers: Doomsday. It’s an amazing bit of promotion with some really cool things in it, and I’m going to touch on a few of my favorites and share a theory or two. Hey, if I’m wrong, y’all get to come back and mock me later.
I’ve almost come to the end of the first season of Wonder Man, although it’s one of the few MCU shows that has a confirmed second season. It’s been interesting watching this version of Simon Williams develop, and his scenes with Trevor have been great. Ben Kingsley and Yahya Abdul-Mateen have done fantastic jobs. Now that they both have roles in the movie they were going for, things seem to be finally falling in to place. So you know that can’t last, as we see as the guys are confronted by “Kathy Friedman.”
The chaotic Doom Patrol series is careening towards their end, and this final season is just crazy as the rest of their adventures have been. A major enemy is lurking in the shadows, and striking at them seemingly at will. Now that they’ve apparently lost the special magic that kept them young, they are beset by a new series of problems. Attempts to deal with that go awry, to no surprise at all, in “Youth Patrol.”
Now we see how Trevor and Simon do with their chance to impress the rather eccentric director in an episode called, appropriately enough, “Callback.”
Doorman, in the comics, is a minor character, part of a group of lesser-known, mostly used as joke characters called the Great Lakes Avengers. He’s actually not the first of the GLA to show up in the MCU, since a version of Immortal Man popped up in the She-Hulk series. He’s been referenced several times so far during Wonder Man. Now, we finally get to see what happened that led to the “Doorman clause” that prohibits superhumans from working in Hollywood movies. Probably tv shows, too, but that hasn’t really been spelled out yet. They use black and white to emphasize that almost the entire episode is a flashback, as we get the story behind “Doorman.”
There have been assorted changes made from the comics to the on screen world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So far, it seems like the adaptation of Wonder Man might be one of the furthest from the source material. They are definitely leaning hard into Simon Williams’ acting career, even if they are ignoring the rest of his history. The acting career and the Hollywood life are very much the focus of episode two of Wonder Man’s series, “Self Tape.”
honestly, this final season of the Flash hasn’t been their best. In this episode, there are time travel shenanigans and assorted flashbacks as the STAR Labs crew faces a new and different kind of threat in “Partners in Time.”
The long tradition of having seen a horrible future and now having to prevent it continues with the team possibly least equipped to handle it in “Butt Patrol.”
The final season of Titans continues their version of the Brother Blood saga. Things are definitely different than the classic story from Wolfman and Perez, but there are some interesting twists and turns along the way.
In this episode, we see a sort of mini-crossover and have a special guest star, and which one is easy enough to guess from the title “Wildest Dreams.”
