The SFB Scale cuts through the noise and answers the only question that really matters: Should you pay to see it, stream it, binge it, or skip it?
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (4 of 4)
Wow, am I glad that I decided to review all the episodes of Marvel Zombies. Because if I had dropped out when the show fell in quality, I would’ve missed the pure spectacle that is the final part of this story. I would’ve missed where, apparently, a lot of the animation efforts went.
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (3 of 4)
Marvel Zombies fell so far with this third episode. Every bad habit of the series, it seems, rushed out to the forefront, and the main thing to enjoy ends up being the gore. Not the animation—that’s often awful, full of plastic faces and stiff action scenes. The creative gore specifically makes this episode watchable.
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (2 of 4)
The second part of Marvel Zombies impressed me because of how weird it is, even compared to the first episode. The series really has become the bloody, gory toy box I talked about before, where Marvel characters are put in totally new frameworks.
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (1 of 4)
Considering how episodic the events of the first episode of Marvel Zombies are, it seems only fitting to review each part of this four-part mini-series on its own terms. The first episode certainly gives us a lot to talk about.
Wolf King Is One Of The Worst Fantasy Cartoons
Wolf King is the worst show I’ve seen in a long time. It clearly wants to be like Avatar: The Last Airbender (even having a knock-off “my cabbages” joke), but it starts off terrible, predictable, and shoddy, and doesn’t rise all that far from that.
Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “The Past Is the Past”
“The Past is The Past” is both an ending I’d want from a show, and way off from what I expected for this show specifically. Or any Marvel show, really.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Deep Trouble”
I loved “Deep Trouble” in theory. I liked it in practice. There’s a difference between conceptually enjoying the decisions made and having the delivery be only okay.
Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “Karma’s a Glitch”
“Karma’s a Glitch” has the pacing and progression of a movie, and I loved that about it. The series has been building up for so long that just having a bunch of classic superhero moments chained together was deeply satisfying.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Pipelines”
Let me be clear. I hated three big things about “Pipelines.”
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Temporary Positions”
Maybe this is just because I’ve listened to a lot of Magnus, and am going off patterns, but the series does have a habit of outright stating something after it was possible to mostly have figured it out. And that’s what “Temporary Positions” feels like. It’s a clarifying episode for anyone who’s not been following this storyline as closely as someone like me.
