  • Rio literally tore through a setpiece to get off the road

    “Your last name is a vegetable” is a top-tier Agatha line

    A bit of cheap writing to suddenly go “Agatha was the one who bound Jenny Kale”, I didn’t like that.

    Agatha’s death scene was visually very beautiful - and also, still a better death scene than Voldemort’s (I’m still salty about that over ten years later).

    The big cgi fight was way better embedded into the story and spirit of the show this time. Also was nice to see the Westview residents again.



  • So… at the start of this episode I was like “oh god, please don’t make this a flashback episode”. And then the flashbacks kept going for over 20 minutes. Once again the Marvel writers wrote themselves into a corner by deciding “we need to show this, but it doesn’t fit anywhere so we’ll cram it into the last episode”. Works better than in other shows but still not ideal. The whole episode basically feels like a tag to the finale that was episode 8.




  • Looks like Kingpin is physically smaller in Daredevil than he was in Hawkeye & Echo. Interesting.

    The Ironheart and Wonderman scenes are not showing much, but Trever Slattory being back is always nice. Getting back into the movie industry after what he did in Iron-Man 3 and his experience in Shang-Shi must be though lol

    There was talk about Ralph Boner showing up in Wonderman as well, does anyone know whether this is confirmed?













  • I liked Lilia as a character before this episode, I love her now. Did not expect her to get an episode like this.

    Did also not expect such a queer episode. From Agatha’s “you want a straight answer? Ask a straight woman” to Billy’s “I guess I’m the queer-ent”.

    Interesting time-tripping parallels to Loki season 2, but done in a very different way and more out-of-comfort-zone for Marvel. I really hope the studio gave Jac Schaeffer creative freedom for the last episode, as opposed to Wandavision.

    “We’re not cool, teenager” - “Damn, using his full name” 😂
