A Manic, Middling Mess For many people, Avengers: Endgame felt like the swansong of the MCU. This movie brought together a combination of everything that made the Marvel Universe great, producing a natural close to 10+ years of lore, character building and development. This beautifully written and poignant end involving Thanos will forever go down as one of the best moments in cinematic history. At least in recent times anyway. With many of the core Avengers moving on, and a new roster of heroes ready to take their place, many speculated over what this new Phase of Marvel would entail....

Why does Sara think she is cursed? Ever since she was a young girl, Sara has believed herself to be under the effects of a curse. It started when her sister Lucy turned 5, and Sara blew out the candles on her cake to steal her birthday wish. Lucy angrily turned toward her and vowed to steal all of her wishes from that point on. From then on, Sara could never achieve anything she wanted....

Bloody Terrible For every BBC adaptation I cover, I find myself cracking jokes through some of the recaps, commenting on how the BBC can never nail its landings, falling flat on its face during season finales. With the exception of His Dark Materials last year, Bodyguard, Killing Eve and even The Capture slipped up when it really mattered after strong openings and with Dracula riding a wave of good faith, it looked set to follow His Dark Materials and end things on a high....

Breaking The Wheel Game Of Thrones this year has been one of the most tumultuous seasons of TV I think I’ve seen in quite some time. From relative optimism early on to sudden disbelief and outright anger, the mood toward HBO’s flagship show has been fascinating to say the least. With over 1 million people signing a petition to remake Season 8 (as a protest vote against the writing) and countless more dissecting the exhausting number of plot holes and character inconsistencies this year, I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a fanbase turn on a show as badly as Game Of Thrones....

The Suitcase Graceful Friends returns this week for an episode that doesn’t really advance the plot that much. It does, however, give more indication over exactly who may be involved with hiding Jae-Hoon’s evidence. Episode 15 of Graceful Friends begins at Namseo Hospital in the past.

The Conference Apart from Hayes’s backstory and the final twist at the end of the episode, most of the latest chapter of Grey’s Anatomy feels like filler with some of the doctors acting out of character again and unnecessary flashbacks throughout.
