Reviews X-Men: The Animated Series The Animated Series Review: The '92 Show Already Told You Why Genosha Burns
I had not watched this since I was 13, and I had it wrong in two directions at once. Registration, Genosha, and the cure are the same lie in three different outfits, and the show built that argument in five scattered episodes before anyone thought it would get a second season.

7.5/10 Reviews X-Men '97 The Real Problem Isn't That It Was Rushed

Reviews X-Men '97 Four Horsemen Said Yes in 39 Years, Remy Never Got the Question

7.5/10 Reviews X-Men '97 Why I Let This Show Get Away With It
Episode 5 assembles a strike team in 90 seconds, kills a legacy character in half a sentence, and runs almost entirely on trust. The review is whether that credit was spent well.
July 15, 2026 →
10/10 Reviews X-Men '97 The Origin Story the Original Show Was Never Allowed to Tell
Episode 4 finally closes a 30-year gap in the franchise, and it makes a trade nobody's talking about yet: Apocalypse doesn't seize his power. He gets handed a job.

9/10 Reviews X-Men '97 The Question Isn't Whether It's Good, It's Whether Marvel Knows Why

6.5/10 Reviews Marvel Zombies Four Parts That Feel Like the Last Phase
I watched all four parts of Marvel Zombies on Disney+ and found it lackluster. The technical side is fine. My problem is the characters it asks me to care about first, and a story that goes way off the book that was sitting right there.

July 6, 2025 →
8.5/10 Reviews Ironheart This Might Be the Best Marvel Show in a Very Long Time

Reviews Daredevil: Born Again Born Again Episode 3 Review: A Tribute to White Tiger That Hit Me at Home
The Hollow of His Hand puts Hector Ayala on trial and barely puts Matt Murdock in the suit, and it's far better than the first two episodes. A Puerto Rican hero, and the legacy of Kamar de los Reyes.

6.5/10 Reviews Daredevil: Born Again Born Again Premiere Review: They Sold Us Foggy and Karen, Then Took Them Away in the Cold Open
The first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again come out of a full creative reset, and you can see the seams. A premiere that hooks you with two characters it has no plan to keep, and a second hour that's better with almost no Daredevil in it.

8.5/10 Reviews Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man This Show Shouldn't Have Been This Good
