The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 5 Shows That John Walker Isn’t Shield-Worthy

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Falcon and the Winter Soldier review contains spoilers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 5 When we last left our patriotic heroes, Captain America’s replacement, John Walker, had just publicly chopped a man to death with his shield. Between this and the way Mysterio edited footage to make Spider-Man look like a mass murderer, it’s a really bad time for Avengers replacements. There’s probably footage of Valkyrie biting someone’s face off to fulfill the trifecta. Recently, Marvel released a trailer to hype up the last two episodes, and the long-awaited fight between our titular protagonists and the unhinged…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Ending Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. No matter what varied opinions arise about each character’s ultimate fate at the end of the Agents of SHIELD series finale, many fans likely finished their viewing with a few questions lingering in their minds. Although the end result is one of satisfaction and bittersweet tears for the conclusion of this seven year journey, the intricacy of the time travel twists and turns may have melted a few brains along the way. Between the Chronicom defeat and the “one year later” epilogue, there’s plenty of room for interpretation and speculation. Let’s first…

Agents of SHIELD Series Finale Review

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains Agents of SHIELD spoilers. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episodes 12 & 13 With apologies to The Grateful Dead, it’s been a long strange trip for fans of Agents of SHIELD which just concluded its seven season run with a finale that neatly ties up enough loose plot threads to keep even the staunchest critics happy and still leaves plenty of room for requisite fan service. Nevertheless, no one can accuse the writers of leaving any cards unplayed. The awakenings, the sacrifices, the reunions, and the redemptions were all completely earned and worthy of this final installment.…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 11 Review: Brand New Day

New DVD release, , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 11 There are certain narrative advantages to Agents of SHIELD experiencing a different timeline in its final season. The changes to history can be catastrophic, but even if it’s not all undone, the show is ending anyway, allowing the stakes to be much higher. Fortunately, those cards are being played during a penultimate episode that also features some surprising emotional turns, but it’s nevertheless difficult to see how the series can provide satisfying endings for all of its principal characters. That doubt springs from Agents of…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 10 Review: Stolen

New DVD release, , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 10 Let’s not mince words; Nathaniel Malick is not a great Agents of SHIELD villain. However, “Stolen” does enhance his antagonism a little even as it emphasizes his weaknesses, and the resulting mayhem is still cool to watch. And by the end of the episode, we at least get a hint of Sybil’s plan even if her reliance on Inhuman powers seems only indirectly related to getting what she supposedly really wants: a new Chronicom home planet. Specifically, Nathaniel as a viable enemy has two problems.…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 9 Review: As I Have Always Been

New DVD release, , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 9 Groundhog Day episodes are a dangerous prospect. They can be whimsical, with mistakes erased and deaths undone, or they can be meaningless, completely removing the stakes that make conflict interesting. They can allow characters to learn from each time loop, or they can become irritatingly repetitive for the viewer. Fortunately, this week’s Agents of SHIELD does everything right, from varying the camera angles to break up the duplicate scenes to pausing for reflection with both comedic and tragic results. Time loop episodes always have one…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7: Elizabeth Henstridge Directs Time Loop Episode

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Elizabeth Henstridge and her character on Agents of SHIELD, Jemma Simmons, have both been fan favorites for as long as the show has been on the air. It’s a role Henstridge landed just a year after coming to the U.S. with only a passion for acting and a few professional connections, but now with her success on the Marvel series she has made it all the way to the director’s chair. Her helming debut will be seen this week in the season 7 episode, “As I Have Always Been,” an installment that finds the team experiencing a Groundhog Day style…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7: Jiaying’s Other Daughter Kora

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Agents of SHIELD spoilers. One of the main mysteries in the first season of Agents of SHIELD was the identity of Daisy Johnson’s parents, only back then Chloe Bennet’s character was known as Skye. Eventually, the show introduced us to her father Cal who led her to her mother Jiaying and the transformative Terrigenesis process that gave Quake her powers. With the Inhuman storylines that followed, Daisy’s journey remained at the heart of the series for several seasons. So how did we not know that she had a sister named Kora? In the season 7 episode, “After,…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 8 Review: After, Before

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 8 Agents of SHIELD proves time and time again that it knows how to pair its well-developed characters to great effect, and this week’s May and Yoyo outing serves as a great counterpoint to last week’s goofier adventures of Mack and “The D.” Although many emotional moments felt a bit muffled, this series’ excellent track record with using understatement to allow viewers to fill in the gaps compensated somewhat for the scenes that lacked the intensity we might have expected. Meanwhile, revisiting Afterlife provided some season…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 7 Review: The Totally Excellent Adventures of Mack and The D

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 7 References to the 80s are all the rage in pop culture, from Stranger Things to The Americans, so it should come as no surprise that Agents of SHIELD wanted to have fun with its time travel storyline now that the team has reached the decade of excess. Unfortunately, although the movie allusions were entertaining and appreciated, the stylistic narrative choices felt very much out of place. The use of Deke’s perspective provided an explanation of sorts for the over-the-top antics, but the lack of a…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Trailer and Release Date

New DVD release, , , , ,
Although its future was often in doubt season to season, Agents of SHIELD season 7 was a sure thing right from the start as ABC renewed the series for two shortened seasons shortly after the end of season five. With the introduction of another time travel storyline — this time to past — the fact that season 7 will be the show’s final run introduces interesting possibilities for coming full circle with the origins of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. Here’s what’s going on with Agents of SHIELD season 7 so far… Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 7 Trailer & Release Date…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Review: Adapt or Die

New DVD release, , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Failure is such a powerful narrative tool, mostly because viewers don’t expect things to go so spectacularly wrong even when the heroes are technically winning. Such is the case with this week’s Agents of SHIELD which has Daisy barely escaping with her life and Coulson sacrificing himself, achieving measures of success indirectly despite heavy losses. Even Mack foiling the Chronicom’s infiltration by jettisoning his fake parents is a victory of sorts even though the supposed rescue mission itself was an obvious bust. Such stories make…
