When Star Wars announced that they would be doing an animated show set in the High Republic Era, I was excited. It was a great way to introduce that time period to a wider audience ahead of The Acolyte‘s eventual debut on Disney+ in 2024. Then, they said it was a show geared toward a… Continue reading Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures is a lot of fun
After a hot start to the first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, things cooled off a little bit in the middle episodes. The last two episodes, however, brought everything full circle for an excellent ending to season one and the completion of the mission for Percy, Annabeth, and Grover.
Through the first four episodes, I have really enjoyed Marvel’s Echo. As the first true show under the Marvel Spotlight banner, I think they did a great job. I’m just disappointed that the ending feels so rushed.
Episode 4 of Marvel’s Echo was full of tension and drama, with the feeling that a lot of violence could happen at any moment. While that violence never came, we were treated to two very emotional reunions for Maya Lopez.
Heading in episode six of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, I had read that the anticipation was high among book readers for the trip to the lotus Casino. Based on what I saw in this episode, my assumption is that they are going to be disappointed with the final product.
I’ll kick off this review of episode 3 of Marvel’s Echo by saying that, well, it didn’t like this episode as much as the first two, I appreciate how it progressed the plot forward. The show really doesn’t waste any scenes. Everything feels purposeful.
After two episodes of Echo, I really like Marvel’s new series. She’s an interesting, different new character and I really like what she brings to the table. Episode 2 continued Maya’s fight against Kingpin’s enterprise, even if she doesn’t yet know that he’s alive.
I’m really enjoying Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+ so far, but we had to delay watching episode 5 “A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers” until late in the week. It was totally worth it when I realized that this was the episode featuring the debut of wrestling legend Adam “Edge” Copeland.
I haven’t been as down on the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe entries as some, because quite frankly, I like superheroes. With What If…? ending just recently, I’m very excited that I get to jump right into Echo!
It’s clear by now that they’re building up Captain Britain Peggy Carter to make the crossover from animation into live action. That will likely come in the eventual Avengers: Secret Wars movie currently scheduled for 2027. For now, Peggy jumped back to 1602 after being pulled back in time by Nick Fury and the Scarlet… Continue reading What if Captain Britain went to the year 1602?: Marvel’s What If…? episode 8 review
