The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Introductions”
“Introductions” is so aptly named and so appreciated. I was waiting, waiting, waiting for something like this to happen. The Magnus Protocol gave us a solid core villain to enjoy.
Friday Fiction: Necessary For Organic Life
This story is bleak, dear reader. In it, the world is ending. Most people haven’t survived—and it’s all because of one change. One pivotal alteration to our world caused everything to fall apart.
Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts Is So Much Worse
Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts is terrible. I don’t like being this negative, but wow, is this the worst of the Marvel Rising projects I’ve watched. As a follow-up to Initiation, it’s just baffling how poorly everything was handled.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Personal Screening”
“Personal Screening” made for a surreal episode to listen to, considering I’m also a movie critic. I can’t say it upped the dread or anything, but it was a little odd to listen to. Considering how many professions both series have featured, it’s actually slightly surprising that we’ve only gotten one writer character previously and only back in Archives.
Friday Fiction: Returning
Hello, dear readers! With all of the horror media we’ve been reviewing lately, it seemed a good time to mix in something lighter. Something chill and easy.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Taking Notes”
“Taking Notes” was one of the hardest episodes to listen to, and not for a scary reason. “Making Adjustments” made me squirm. This simply irritated during sections of its runtime.
Marvel Rising: Initiation Is So Much Better
Marvel Rising: Initiation is one of the short, like micro short, series that are set in the same universe as the Secret Warriors movie. Kamala and Squirrel Girl are there. Patriot is there.
Unspeakably Scary Things Issue #9
I clutched my ears. The sound hurt in a way that was hard to understand. It dug at a wound I didn’t know I had—somewhere in my chest.
Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors Barely Explore Its Own Themes
Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors is a Marvel movie you’ve likely never heard of before. I hadn’t. It’s a movie about a superhero team with some very familiar names if you keep up to date with the greater MCU canon.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Putting Down Roots”
“Putting Down Roots” is firmly a middle-of-the-road episode of The Magnus Protocol—if I use the benchmarks of the previous series as a reference point. No big plot moments obviously occur, and the horror story likely isn’t introducing any returning characters.
Friday Fiction: The Time-Looping Squirrel
Sometimes, scientific discoveries are an accident. This is one of those times. Although, it is a little on the odder side of things.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Making Adjustments”
“Making Adjustments” serves as a hard swerve from the first episode, moving the series back into more familiar anthology waters. I’m writing these as I listen, avoiding spoilers, so I knew I would get predictions wrong, but I still didn’t expect to have my first article contradicted this heavily.
