Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of the newest shows on Marvel’s slate, and it follows Peter Parker as he tries to piece together his life after being turned into a spider by a mad scientist. The show is set to air on October 5th, and it looks like it will be a lot of fun.
With Doom Patrol, The Boys and Invincible all filling in those darker and morally grey areas, it leaves very little wiggle room for a new contender to enter the market. This leaves The CW with a clear choice: either continue to produce quality programming or risk losing out on viewers.
Netflix’s attempt to create its own superhero show last year was a bust. The Guardians of Justice then, is likely to follow in the same vein. Despite some quirky visuals, a nice satirical vibe and a couple of neat twists along the way, Guardians of Justice slips up with its execution, which is shaky to say the least.
The seven episodes of “Stranger Things” are like a hyperactive child that’s just eaten several packs of smarties. The show rockets through its story, leaving absolutely no time for characterization, depth or wiggle room to allow the world and characters to breathe. Unfortunately, this breathless pace also breezes past the comedy, which largely fall flat in favour of the larger story at work.
The plot of this story is very familiar. It takes place in an alternate history where World War III has been stopped by an alien called Marvelous Man, who manages to unite humanity into a fragile world peace. However, forces behind the scenes conspire to bring him down, determined to start a nuclear war.
Marvelous Man, a superhero who starred in four decades of television shows, committed suicide by live streaming his death on the internet. His subordinate, Knight Hawk, believes there may have been foul play involved and sets out to find who killed Marvelous Man. But the truth is far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. ..
Episode 6 of “The Crown” had potential but fell short due to its lack of depth.
The problem with the supporting players in DC and Marvel’s comics is that they’re often just there to serve as a nod to their Marvel or DC counterparts, rather than actually advancing the story.
Case in point: The Sepia Spider. Midway through the show, we’re introduced to this character after a brief bit of expository dialogue. After an action set-piece, he’s never seen again. We know nothing about this character’s backstory or motivation beyond a few snippets dialogue. And that’s a trend that’s repeatedly constantly throughout these episodes, as Hawk gruffly narrates about the world, the characters and what’s happening around him. ..
The watch is a bit of a mess. It’s forgettable and its aesthetic is strange. However, it does have some good features.
While the intention here is to breathe that live-action anime style, while also dipping into the 8-s’ hedonistic, neon-washed vibe, this show is a mixed bag of cheap sets and gorgeous animated stylings. The two go together about as well as yoghurt on steak. ..
The animation is good but it can be a bit overwhelming at times. The transitions are also a bit choppy.
The show is poorly done and does not offer anything that is new or exciting. It is a waste of time and money.
