Review – Rick And Morty

6th September 2021

Review – Rick And Morty Directed by: Wesley Archer & Others Written by: Dan Harmon & Others Produced by: Dan Harmon & Others Starring: Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell & Sarah Chalke Release Date: 2013 – Present Introduction Going back to review Rick and Morty as a whole is an interesting challenge in 2021. The show has went from being a small, fairly obscure cartoon to a behemoth of pop-culture in recent years. This has brought with it everything from an odd appearance from the title in the recent Space Jam 2 movie, to strange toxic fan-boys harassing fast-food workers over limited edition sachets of sauce. With all of that in mind, I decided to go back and watch the entire series all the way through to the end of Season 5 from the very beginning in preparation for this review and base my thoughts on that experience alone. This should hopefully mean that an unbiased review should follow below, critiquing the show itself and not all of the tertiary stuff surrounding it. The Universe Is A Crazy And Chaotic Place… Back when it first aired in 2013, Rick & Morty totally flew under the radar for me. I only first heard of it months after it was on the air, then all of a sudden almost every podcast and youtuber that I subscribe to were recommending it. Though by the time that I was recommended it, I was aware it was an Adult Swim show, so I assumed each episode would only be around six or seven minutes long and put it on the backburner. Eventually came a day where I had ran out of things to watch and so I decided to give it a shot. Whilst I didn’t fall in love with it immediately, it did hook me right away and I was pleased to learn each episode was 20 minutes long. Because the episodes are so short, I decided to watch a few episodes in a row and by the time I had finished watching Anatomy Park, the third episode of the first season, I realised how great this show was. The Good The combination of totally off the wall writing and dry wit is a tried and tested formula at this point, but it really works in the context of this show. The character dynamics, the on-point comedic timing of the cast and the ad-libbed feel of a lot of the dialogue are all elements that really tie together to make the show as entertaining as it is. Going back and re-watching the earlier seasons was hugely enjoyable, as a lot of my favourite episodes are amongst the earlier seasons. These include; M Night Shamaliens, where Rick, Morty and Gerry are stuck in a simulation of the real world and Gerry thinks he is having the greatest day of his life. Rick Potion No.9, where said potion makes everybody fall in love with Morty, then transforms them into grotesque monsters, leading our protagonists to simply leave that reality behind and move into a fresh one. Raising Gazorpazorp, where Morty goes through fatherhood in the space of a day. And Mortynight Run, where they leave Gerry in a nursing home full of other Gerrys. The animation can seem initially jarring top casual viewers as it employs such an odd style. However, by a few episodes in, it becomes clear that this animation is to a high standard, it just follows a fairly odd art odd style. The voice acting also seems somewhat amateur upon first listen, but as the show goes on and you get to know the characters and the world, the voice acting actually works perfectly in unison with the way show’s writing. The Bad The show’s biggest pitfall is that the whacky novelty and shock value of a lot of the earlier season’s charm wears off by seasons 3-5. The show does try to one-up itself every now and again, but eventually that starts to feel pretty forced too. Seeing the sheer insanity and traumatisation that Rick exposes his grandchildren to, only to then brush it off as if it is totally normal is funny for the first ten times, after that it becomes trite and overdone. Gerry and Beth’s broken marriage is the source of a lot of great humour in the first few seasons, but by season 4-5 it seems played out and tiresome. Even Gerry’s exceptional mediocrity and impressive amount of general naivety is starting to wear thin by the end of season 5. Summary There isn’t too much more to say and the show doesn’t have a great deal of negative qualities, other than being too much of a good thing. That said though, it is hard to deny the statues that Rick and Morty has earned as a phenomenon of pop culture and one of the best animated shows of the last decade.

Review – Essential Judge Dredd: Origins

31st August 2021

SUMMARY Opening with a perilous prologue of secrecy and bad dreams in The Connections, the race is on to deliver a mysterious package to the Grand Hall of Justice. What follows is a furious road mission of high importance that could change the laws of Mega City One and offers a shocking history lesson on the origins of immediate justice. ART Kev Walker brings the neo-noir dystopian crime thriller to Dredd with his dark and minimalistic style. While it can be difficult to fully decipher what’s going on at times, that only adds to the mystique and drama of the short story. While Ezquerra’s flare for bombastic scenery and iconic chins is no secret, it’s the beautiful subtlety of his characterisation that serves as a narrative structure all on it’s own; the contrasting usage of polished colouring and rough shading delivering the arc of Dredd as a seasoned and grizzled veteran with a strict regiment for principles and upholding traditional laws. WRITING Despite what the title suggests, that being an essential deep dive into the origins of Judge Dredd, I believe newcomers or casual fans may struggle to keep up with the moving parts of the narrative and multitude of characters throughout. Coming off more like a love letter to existing fans of the titular badass – and an intimately written one at that, those without the experience may be left with more questions than answers to this deep and grizzly story. That being said, the events that take place throughout this collection do an incredible job of bridging the gap between fantastical science-fiction and nail-bitingly realistic non-fiction. Like we’re one quaking domino away from setting off a chain of probable actualities for the future based on this Wagner’s series. OVERALL In conclusion, Essential Judge Dredd: Origins puts you in the gruelling position of a Judge in early training, suddenly thrown into the line of fire unprepared. If you can withstand the direct heat of this bloody and scorched battlefield and brave the cold of this callous and unrelenting tale of immediate judgement, then you’re fit to be a Judge and learn the secrets of how it all came to be in a fascinatingly unique story for the time that still holds up today.

Review – King Spawn #1

29th August 2021

SUMMARY After a ruthless bombing of a school by a completely normal teacher, Spawn suspects a higher power at work as opposed to the enigmatic human condition. With more carnage to come, he sets out to connect the dots of the homicide. All the while more angels and demons are slithering through the cracks of the locked deadzones, the only question is who has the key? ART With so many links to the chains surrounding Spawn, the artists made sure to keep each story’s style unique apart from their collective brutality. You can’t turn a page without someone exploding or turning into mush! WRITING While not technically a fault of the comic, it feels like entering into the Avengers: Endgame of Spawn without the homework. I can’t tell if the drama and horror is amplified through Lewis’ & McFarlane’s biblical prophecy of an imminent apocalyptic war or my bewilderment while getting thrashed by deep and constant lore. Don’t be fooled by the #1 tag on this comic, this is quite literally the end of the beginning of King Spawn. In an interesting turn for Spawn, Lewis gives the main story a more grounded and gritty approach with a dose of noir tension. Giving this fantastical bloodbath a more realistic and unsettling murder mystery akin to the work of David Fincher. OVERALL In conclusion, King Spawn #1 is a bombastic and righteous addition to the new Spawn collection. With viscerally designed details and artwork crowned with traumatic excitement throughout, all you can say is Long Live The King! If you are a long running die hard Spawn fan, you’ll have no problem in falling in love with this installment. For newer or more casual fans, this may be a head scratcher that requires patience to make sense and in time I’m sure this universe will deliver in spades.

Avengers: Endgame Review: The Perfect Finale to the Infinity Saga

3rd January 2026

Seven years later, Avengers: Endgame remains the undisputed King of the MCU. From the “Portals” scene to Tony Stark’s final sacrifice, here is why this masterpiece demands to be watched on 4K. ⚠️ Affiliate Disclaimer This article contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. If you buy through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The Verdict at a Glance The Crown Jewel of the MCU It is hard to believe it has been seven years since Avengers: Endgame hit theaters. In 2026, as we navigate the complex “Multiverse Saga” with Incursions and Variants, looking back at Endgame feels like visiting an old friend. This wasn’t just a movie; it was a miracle of logistics. Juggling dozens of A-list stars, wrapping up 22 movies of storytelling, and landing the emotional plane perfectly? That shouldn’t have been possible. Yet, the Russo Brothers did it. Here is why Endgame remains the “Gold Standard” against which all other blockbuster movies are measured. The “Time Heist” is Genius Writing Instead of a standard “punch the bad guy” plot, the movie turns into a love letter to the MCU itself. By sending our heroes back to 2012, 2013, and 2014, the film allows us to see how far these characters have come. Watching the weary, defeated 2023 Tony Stark interact with the hopeful 1970 version of his father is heartbreakingly beautiful. It rewards you for paying attention for the last decade. The Darkest Battle Needs the Best Screen The final act—the “Battle of Earth”—is notoriously dark (visually). The muddy grays and browns of the destroyed Avengers compound can look like a blurry mess on streaming services. However, on physical 4K UHD, it is a different experience. The HDR brings out the glowing sparks of Doctor Strange’s portals, the crackle of Thor’s lightning, and the distinct colors of the Infinity Stones against the gloom. If you haven’t seen it on disc, you haven’t really seen it. “On Your Left” There is no cinematic moment in the last 20 years that matches the “Portals” scene. When Captain America, broken and alone, hears Sam Wilson’s voice… it is pure magic. Even in 2026, this scene induces goosebumps. It is the payoff to every single solo movie that came before it. Seeing Black Panther, Spider-Man, and the Guardians return from the dust is a triumph of long-form storytelling. The Perfect Goodbye for Tony & Cap Endgame understands that endings are necessary. Tony Stark, the man who started as a selfish egoist, makes the ultimate selfless play. Steve Rogers, the man who always sacrificed himself for the greater good, finally takes a moment for himself. Their arcs cross perfectly: one learns to let go, the other learns to live. How to Watch: The “End of an Era” Collection To truly honor this film, you need the best quality possible. Streaming compression ruins the audio dynamic range of the final battle. ? The Essential Disc: Avengers: Endgame (Cinematic Universe Edition 4K) This disc is reference quality for home theaters. The Dolby Atmos track shakes the room when Thanos’s ship, The Sanctuary II, fires on the base. ? The Ultimate Flex: The Infinity Saga Collector’s Box Set If you want to own the entire 22-movie run from Iron Man to Endgame in one beautiful package, this is the holy grail for collectors. ? The Must-Have Prop: The Nano Gauntlet (Electronic) Unlike the golden Infinity Gauntlet, the red-and-silver “Nano Gauntlet” was built by Tony Stark. This high-end replica features articulated fingers and the “Snap” sound effect. It is the centerpiece of any Marvel shelf. Final Thoughts Avengers: Endgame is a masterpiece of blockbusters. It manages to be funny (Professor Hulk), devastating (Black Widow), and triumphant (Cap lifting Mjolnir) all at once. In an era of endless sequels, Endgame dared to provide a conclusion. It is the high-water mark of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it demands a permanent spot in your physical media library. Where to watch next: The “Infinity Saga” is over, but the aftermath begins immediately in Spider-Man: Far From Home, which deals with the world mourning Tony Stark.

Review – Kang the Conqueror #1

22nd August 2021

Review – Kang the Conqueror #1 Writers – Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing Artwork – Carlos Magno & Espen Grundtejern Cover Art – Mike Del Mundo Variant Covers – Todd Nauck, Skottie Young Publisher – Marvel Comics Release Date – 18 August 2021 Intro THE ORIGIN OF KANG! The man called Kang the Conqueror has been a pharaoh, a villain, a warlord of the space ways and even, on rare occasions, a hero. Across all timelines, one fact seemed absolute: Time means nothing to Kang the Conqueror. But the truth is more complex. Kang is caught in an endless cycle of creation and destruction dictated by time and previously unseen by any but the Conqueror himself. A cycle that could finally explain the enigma that is Kang. And a cycle that begins and ends with an old and broken Kang sending his younger self down a dark path… Writing After the finale of LOKI it was only fitting that we had a Kang the Conqueror series. And I was eager to see what Marvel had in store. There have been plenty of storylines over the years with Kang and certainly he is described as one of the Avengers’ ultimate villains. That being said I was curious to see what writer’s Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing would bring to the table. This is a fascinating first issue with a contemplative look at a young Nathaniel Richards in the 31st Century. When he encounters Kang, the older version of himself offers guidance and from the there, things start to unravel. This is certainly a series that I can see Marvel fans thoroughly enjoying. And given the success of LOKI, I’m sure some fans will be desperate to read more about this character. Artwork The artwork is very much of what you would expect from Marvel Comics. And certainly the work of Carlos Magno and Espen Grundtejern captures Kang perfectly. It’s always interesting when you have more than imagining of the same character in a universe and how they are portrayed. And this was done to great effect. As you can imagine the colourings of Green and Purple that we associate with Kang are prominent throughout. And I liked the way that these were utilised for the captions, as a constant reminder of who Nathaniel Richards is destined to become. Overall Kang the Conqueror #1 is a fascinating look back at the early beginnings of Nathaniel Richards in the 31st Century. And given his introduction (in some guise) in the MCU, it’s only fitting that Marvel have released this series. The creative pairing of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing combine to great effect to bring us what is a complex character, with the potential to explore multiple storyline possibilities. This is certainly a book that I can see Marvel fans thoroughly enjoying. And given the success of LOKI, I’m sure some fans will be desperate to read more about the character.

Review – Spider-man: Far from Home (2019)

2nd September 2021

Review – Spider-man: Far from Home (2019) Run Time: 2hrs 13mins Directed by: Jon Watts Produced by: Kevin Feige Written by: Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. Starring: Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Samuel L. Jackson, Marisa Tomei and Jon Favreau Release Date: 2 July 2019 Production company: Marvel Studios Full Spoilers Retrospective Review Introduction I’m delighted to be taking another trip down MCU memory lane to retroactively review Spider-man: Far From Home for BGCP Comic Con. Shortly after the events of the epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga, Avengers: Endgame, we find Peter Parker/ Spider-man dealing with the loss of his mentor, Tony “I am Ironman” Stark. Peter is also readjusting to life after being snapped back into existence after five years, when the Avengers undid Thanos’ dusting of half of all life in Endgame. Aunt May knows he’s Spider-man now but it’s not given much weight, she supports him in it, even encourages him. Peter’s going on a trip to Europe with school and conveniently, all of the supporting cast from Spider-man: Homecoming who would have naturally returned were snapped just like Peter so there’s plenty of familiar faces to join him on the trip. Peter was hoping to get away from that superhero life monsters from another reality require his attention. He meets a new hero, Quentin Beck played by Jake Gyllenhaal the last surviving hero fro… It’s Mysterio, he’s the bad guy, it’s all a lie. Story Ok so the plot is somewhat convoluted. These ‘monsters’ show up, attacking random spots around the world which draws the attention of Nick Fury and Maria Hill, (really Skrulls, Talos and his wife Soren who we met in Captain Marvel). They are acting on behalf of the real Nick Fury and are duped by the story of the Elementals that Beck (stage name) tells them. They team up and meet Peter on the Vienna stage of his school trip, as the water Elemental attacks. ‘Fury’ basically forces Peter to join them in the fight against the Elementals as strangely none of the many heroes that appeared in Endgame are available to help out. All this being a ruse by Beck to obtain the world security system/AI – EDITH. The control of which was left to Peter by Tony after his death. EDITH is operated through a pair of unmistakably Robert Downey Jr sunglasses, that ‘Fury’ delivers to Peter in Venice. The security system is a fleet of weaponised drones on stand by in a space station in Earth’s orbit. With EDITH, you can have a multi weapon killer drone that can be at your target at a moments notice. Demonstrated in a poor fashion when Peter accidentally sets a drone on another student while they’re driving through the country on a tour bus. It’s just the silliest scene, Peter leaping out of the moving bus through the skylight, web whipping the attacking drone onto the ground in an explosion that no one on the bus heard, all while Peter lands back in the bus, with no one the wiser. Behind the scenes Beck drops exposition in a fantastically theatrical monologue to his secret coconspirators after he tricks Peter into handing EDITH over to him. Beck was the man who invented the ‘BARF’ hologram technology used by Tony Stark in Civil War. Stark fired Beck for being unstable leading him to band together with other former Stark employees to collectively become ‘Mysterio’. Beck and co want access to EDITH and the fleet of drones to stage an ‘Avengers level threat’ that will place Mysterio as the next Ironman and give the cabal the keys to the world. A plan that doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny. How well would Mysterio’s illusions hold up if he had to interact with any of the other heroes in the MCU. A big mix of people with various skills and intelligences that would smell something fishy in Mysterio’s bowl. Buuuuut Quentin Beck or whatever his real name is, was fired by Stark for being unstable. I think this plan makes sense as the plan concocted by an unstable person. Jake Gyllenhaal is so captivating in the role that it doesn’t bother me for long. Hijinks Running parallel to the main plot is the antics of the rest of the class and the their chaperone teachers Martin Starr and J.B. Smoove. I love both actors but felt they had a lot of stinker comedic lines that fell flat. The first film to depict the events of the snap or the ‘Blip’ as it’s called here, outside of Infinity War and Endgame, wisely removes all the horror of the event and plays it off comedically. The John Huges-y vibe of the last film continues here but it is given an extra sub genre of a holiday film. Cuteness Spider-man: Far From Home is also part romantic comedy. The romantic strands between Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) and Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) as well as Ned and Betty and give the supporting cast a little more focus. While they’re fun, the real cutesy stuff comes with Peter and MJ’s blossoming relationship. A minor hurdle in their pairing comes from Brad the same student Peter nearly had EDITH killed by accident. He wasn’t snapped but there isn’t anything that that novel about his character besides. Peter has been planning to express the emotions he has developed for MJ since we last saw them together on this school trip. Holland and Zendaya have a great natural chemistry together. Looking back from 2021 we could be forgiven to whimsy that it mightn’t have just been their considerable acting talents caught on camera. Zendaya in particular gives a wonderfully earnest and grounded portrayal of a more introverted Mary Jane than we had seen before. I feel like Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane could be seen as shy in certain ways and more outgoing in others. Zendaya’s MJ is more guarded than shy. I like the introverted straight talker we’re seeing here. MJ while put in danger a

Review – Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

15th August 2021

Review – Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) Director: Peyton Reed Producer: Kevin Feige Writers: Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Paul Rudd, Andrew Barrer Gabriel Ferrari. Starring: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hannah John-Kamen, Michael Pena, Randall Park. Introduction After the mammoth event that was Infinity War, the scope of the MCU seemed that much larger. How does a universe that keeps growing get brought back to size? Enter, Ant-Man and the Wasp. The sequel serves as the eighth film in the third phase of Marvel’s Infinity Saga, and brings back Paul Rudd as the charming pint-sized (and occasionally over-sized) hero. Despite taking place after one of the franchise’s biggest films, the film provided audiences with a lighter film that was, at the time, a much needed refresher. For this review, I revisit Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) to see how it fairs as a standalone film within the MCU. Plot I’ll start this off by saying that I still love this film, and for many reasons. One of the film’s greatest qualities, is that it serves as a reminder that Marvel films can be fun and heart-warming, without some cosmic level threat. The film itself is not even directly influenced by Thanos and the snap – and the film is so much better for it. Ant-Man and the Wasp shows what happened to Scott after Civil War. Following his trip to Germany and violation of the Sokovia Accords, he is now in house arrest. However, he must reunite with Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lily), to save Hope’s mother, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), from the Quantum Realm. After his own stint in there, Scott has become entangled with Janet and is the key to her rescue. Saving Janet is not going to be so easy. A maniacal gangster (Walter Goggins) and a new villain, Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), are on the hunt for Hank’s lab and technologies for their own purposes. Characters & Writing As a film within a major franchise, the film gives space for it’s characters grow and gives the cast a chance to shine. Paul Rudd continues to bring his boyish charm as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, and it’s hard for audiences not to love him. His focus on his family and the fact that he may not always be the best superhero, or man, makes him endearing to watch. The rest of the cast also shine, in a somewhat over-stuffed film. In particular, Evangeline Lilly, finally gets the opportunity to suit up and kick ass as the Wasp. The film seems to make up for the long overdue need for a fully fledged female superhero. Evangeline seems incredibly comfortable slipping into the Wasp’s wings and gets to deliver some of the film’s best action sequences. Michael Pena continues to be the films main comedy relief, delivering some of the films more laugh out loud moments. With the inclusion of newcomer Jimmy Woo, played brilliantly by Randall Park, the cast seems a lot more developed and more comfortable together on this second outing. Nevertheless, as impressive as the film is, it does have a few drawbacks. Mainly that a few characters don’t get as much development as others. Ghost, while played brilliantly by Hannah John-Kamen, is a tad under developed, despite having a decent set up. The film also never really plays into Ghosts relationship with Bill Foster (Laurence Fishbourne). Considering the film’s emphasis on family, it seems like a missed opportunity. I’ll also admit, that the film’s explanation of certain elements can be a little thin in places. We never really get to discuss how Janet has managed to survive in the Quantum Realm for over thirty years, which seems like it should be important. Also, considering the Quantum Realms important to the MCU’s future, I would have liked more emphasis on it. Cinematography It would be difficult to talk about this film, without mentioning how beautiful the cinematography is. Like the first Ant-Man, the use of scale in this film is beautiful. The art of shrinking, growing oversized, and then going back to normal size serves as some of the films more comedic moments. The use of visual dimensions throughout the film also deserve some recognition, as it is some of the best use of visuals in the MCU. The alteration of sizes, particularly during a car chase sequence, is a feast for the eyes. One scene in particular that stands out, would be when Hank goes to rescue Janet from the Quantum Realm. What the film lacks in explanation, it makes up for in visuals. The striking technicolour adds to the trippy affects of the realm and adds to the visual magic of the film. Overall thoughts Overall, I still think Ant-Man and the Wasp is a fun and light-hearted film. Director Peyton reed hones in on what made the first Ant-Man so loveable and introduces larger elements that will play a major role in the future of the MCU. All in all, it’s an excellent self-contained story, that reminds us of the importance of the little guys in a larger universe.
