So while trying to find the pilot for the ill-conceived Supergirl show, I found another pilot for another ill-conceived show: Wonder Woman. This would be NBC’s 2011 attempt at a Wonder Woman show spearheaded by David E. Kelly, the guy who made Boston Legal. Yeah. So I gave it a watch and you know what? […]
There are maybe a handful of comic book movies that really gain a noticeable amount of ire from fans and audiences. Sure, there are many that are hated and cast aside, but mainly those are forgotten and, eventually, recategorized as simply “not worth the time”. Honest and sustainable ire only comes into contact with a […]
It’s not like season one of The Flash on the CW was perfect by any means. There were a number of things that didn’t work: underdeveloped “villains of the week,” making romantic interest Iris West into a pseudo-sister for Barry Allen, and then having most characters perpetually lie to Iris. Still, it did enough things […]
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, a mostly-okay TV show that dabbles perhaps a little too lightly in its source material, is currently moving into its third season. I enjoy it, as do the dozen or so other people who watch it. However, due to its perpetual lukewarm ratings I was surprised to learn ABC is close […]

Whether it’s a main character defined by sarcasm or the comic relief auxiliary character, there is a long tradition […]
Since the New 52 has just ended Kat decided to list the New 52 titles she enjoyed the least. Tell us what made your list:
D23 is going on right now. Or it’s over? I guess it depends on when you read this. Anyway, since Disney owns half the world, it means their expo is filled with all sorts of updates on Star Wars, the yes-it-still-exists Pirates franchise, and of course the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The expected loot arrived: footage […]
So Fantastic Four, or Fant4stic, or whatever they’re calling it is bombing pretty hard in theaters right now. The blame is bouncing around multiple parties now: from the execs, to the director, and even to the studio itself. Everyone’s looking for a scapegoat. Strangely enough, the minority voice in this shout-fest has been “do we […]
Given my previous feature about the things I felt were the worst about The Flash, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m not a big fan of the CW DC Comics shows. Not all of them, to be exact, but mainly the ones that fall under the showrunning and handling of Greg Berlanti and Marc […]
