#WerewolfByNight In Color
They swapped out the #UniversalMonsters black & white for Dario Argento style lighting. The color isn't really doing the CG blood any favors. It works well enough, but I'm definitely going back to the original next #Halloween. It was already perfect. π
#AgathaAllAlong Episode 9
An emotional epilogue that masterfully recontextualizes the entire series. It's a reverse of the last episodes of #WandaVision, which really helps to differentiate the 2 series with the same theme of using magic as an escape from grief into fantasy. π€
#AgathaAllAlong Episode 8
Agatha catches up to #WandaVision by the end of the Witches' Road. The feeling of dread is palpable. Aubrey Plaza is phenomenal. Her casting feels like an #InfinityGauntlet wish come true. The perfect #Halloween treat punctuated with a devious trick. π€
#MarvelLegends#Dracula
I'll always prefer Gene Colan's classic take on Dracula, but its hard to deny that this modern design is incredibly badass. The tattered cape looks great, but his armor really could have used a dark wash to bring out detail & show age. I love this set. π€
#Venom: The Last Dance
It's technically better than #Carnage but is no longer so bad it's good. It's the type of trilogy closer that literally throws the franchise in the wood chipper before turning the lights out. The highlight again is the #Czarface banger on the soundtrack.π
#AgathaAllAlong Episode 7
All the cards are shown leading into next weeks 2-part finale. LuPone's #LiliaCalderu felt under-utilized until now, but they really pulled her arc together & wrapped it in a bow. The costumes were fun but I don't see how they pertained to the trial. π€
@MCPandaman Yeah, just felt like the Disney witch thing felt forced. The other trials had era appropriate. The sudden brand synergy didn't really fit the pattern of the other trials, but it was fun to see.
#MarvelLegends#Crystal & #Lockjaw 2-Pack
I balked at the price but I'm actually impressed with the heft of my boy Lockjaw. His swappable muzzle & sitting hind legs offer the full range of dog poses. Crystal is good, but she looks like the #Medusa actor. #PetAvengers assemble!π€
#MarvelLegends#Dormammu Build-A-Figure
I love this old Dormammu BAF, partly because its the design used in #MarvelVsCapcom 3. I wasn't able to get ahold of his green/blue skull accessories, but luckily had an orange kicking around. The sculpt & textured paints are excellent. π€
#MarvelLegends#Clea
Clea looks great in her classic outfit. Her hair & face are on point & she is even able to stand on her own with the updated sturdy female legs. As always, I'd kill for updated FX. I'm excited to also finally get #Wong in the upcoming #DrStrange 2-Pack. π
#MarvelLegends#DoctorStange, #Wong & #Bats 3-Pack
I'm happy to upgrade Strange for a classic Wong. They totally didn't need to include Bats, but it really does make the package feel deluxe. The faces are superb. Steven looks like he's seen some stuff. Comics #Rintrah next? π€
#AgathaAllAlong Episode 6
Usually these revelatory chapters are penultimate. Thankfully they broke the tradition to give up the goods early. Taking the spotlight comes natural for Joe Locke. The change in perspective & the guest appearance make this the funniest episode yet. π€
#MarvelLegends#ManThing
The detail on this guy is crazy. Underneath the vines & mushrooms you can even find Dr. Ted Sallis' ribcage. The #MCU design is so comic accurate this is easily the definitive Man-Thing. Don't make me wait long for #WerewolfByNight & #ElsaBloodstone! π€
#AgathaAllAlong Episode 5
I was excited for this since the #EvilDead style poster & its easily the best episode yet. The '80s slasher setting put me right in the holiday feeling. A few shocking twists really light a fire under the season, raising the stakes for the back half. π€
#Fortnite Season 31: #AbsoluteDoom for #Nintendo Switch
This was my 1st time getting into Fortnite. I hate military propaganda shooters & respawning, so this was really refreshing. Runs well on Switch if you don't mind skins loading in late. I regret missing #Galactus now. π
#MarvelLegends#Lilith
This was a surprising treat for the Halloween season. She sold me on the set. I love the commitment to the design with the energy FX hair, though I'd still like more for the hands. Mia Goth's going to kill this role if the new #Blade movie ever comes outπ€
