For Asgard Thor is one of those heroes that’s always felt like a B-player next to other, more popular comic book heroes. Compared to Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America or even Iron Man, Thor has never quite had the same allure, even way back in the comic books. With an inspired Chris Hemsworth injecting the God with a wonderful dose of charisma, Marvel effortlessly blends Norse Mythology with the Marvel Universe to deliver an enjoyable, but highly predictable, superhero flick....

All Out Carnage It’s been coming for a while but after a few episodes of build-up, Vagabond spills over to an explosive hour of drama, tension and all-out carnage as our heroes race to the court. It’s a simple enough plot used across the episode but boy is the execution on-point. While there are, as you’d expect, some illogical plot points and silly melodrama dotted throughout, for the most part it all ties in nicely with the absolutely bonkers narrative that makes good on its action-packed premise....
