You Had One Job: Ms. Marvel


I think I am gathering more of an understanding as to why I am not enjoying the
Ms. Marvel series. Other than the fact that I am not close to its target audience being a 40 something year old Black dude. Reading about how the show was designed with Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World as inspiration made me frown since I didn't like that movie. Her hero, Captain Marvel, was one of the worst MCU films for me so its hard to root for a character who is inspired by her and makes me roll my eyes when she raves about how cool she was. I mean, she has had one movie and showed up in another and its not like she defeated Thanos. She gets way too much credit. If you wanna read me talking about that film you can click here because I don't need to get too into it here.

The Review: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness


Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 9/10


ALL KINDA SPOILERS!!! This movie felt like a great culmination of watching way too many MCU TV shows and movies and reading and listening to comic book videos on YouTube. L. and I never got to see this in theaters (my fault) but I was happy that this was coming out on Disney+ and that I managed to not have any of this spoiled which is amazing considering how many surprises were in this for me. This starts with a girl named America Chavez and Strange fighting against this crazy ass demon. They are trying to reach a book and he is telling her to use her power of teleporting through realities to help. She can't control them and he ends up trying to use her powers, meaning kill her, to finish the job. He ends up dying and she teleports their corpses away. Meanwhile Strange in out universe is at Christine's wedding and saying he is happy. He not happy. He miserable and cranky. One of his old coworkers asks if giving Thanos the stone was truly the right thing to do seeing as how he vanished for years and his brother and cats all died.

Documentality: Our Father/Baby God/Keep Sweet Pray And Obey

Our Father Oh?/10



Not quite sure how I ended up watching three damned documentaries about disgusting ass men but here I am. The first was Our Father on Netflix. It is about this fertility doctor that spent 30 years using his own sperm to impregnate women in a small town. He was bitten in the ass by all these new ancestry sites and DNA kits and when this woman started looking into him ended up finding out that she had over 100 siblings. This got progressively worse as the episode went on with more popping up and how his church stuck by him through it. That is one thing these documentaries will show you: church can be used as a dangerous weapon and a shield. There was no law that said he couldn't be a fucking creep so he ended up in court but got like a $500 fine.

The Review: No Time To Die


No Time To Die 1/10


This movie? Wack. The acting? Wack. The music? Wack. The story? Wack. Seriously, I did not enjoy this at all and didn't give it a 0/10 because I finished it. All I knew about this beforehand was that folks were mad about a Black woman being the new Bond. James Bond is still James Bond. This woman got the 007 name after he left which was done to be petty I guess. This could have been an hour long with how thin the story was. It had been so long since the last film I forgot he had a consistent love interest in any way. I really have nothing else to add. I did not like this. I almost didn't even write this cause its not really a review. Not gonna bother listing the cast either. Like, this movie had some action scenes that were separated by weak dialogue.

The Review: Outer Range


Outer Range 8/10


This series was crazy as hell. I really enjoyed Outer Range because I could not figure out what was going on or where the series was going. But what I liked most about it is what worries me. I fear that the creators of this show do not have a clear ending like a lot of shows I have made fun of and didn't bother watching. You know the types of shows that have a cool premise but end up canceled or being terrible because there was no clear cut exit. This series is about a family with an assload of secrets that threaten not only them but seemingly the future. This guy named Royal Abbott lives on this ranch with his wife Cecelia who is losing her mind and religion, their two sons Rhett who rides bulls, and Perry whose wife vanished leaving him with their daughter, Amy. One day this spooky ass woman named Autumn shows up and she seems to know some secrets about the land and wants to stay there.
