Artists: various

Thanos Loses collects five separate issues from Marvel Comics, each featuring a victory over the Mad Titan by various Marvel Heroes. Taken out of context, some story elements are lost here but the individual issues do provide what the comic promises.

Guardians Of the Galaxy #25 features a rampaging resurrected Thanos being taken down by the Guardians of the Galaxy in a storyline that also includes appearances by the original Guardians. While Secret Wars #8 features little of the Mad Titan, the universe-resetting event does feature one of his most complete defeats at the hands of Victor von Doom.

Harley Quinn – Til Death Do Us Part

Alan Rapp / May 4, 2020 / Television Reviews

Title: Harley Quinn – Til Death Do Us Part
wiki: link

I’ve watched the first five episodes of DC Universe’s Harley Quinn and the show’s premiere “Til Death Do Us Part” is the weakest of the bunch. (Sadly, it’s also the only one to feature the character’s original costume.) “Til Death Do Us Part” Opens with Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) growing tired of her sidekick role with the Joker (Alan Tudyk) but unable to break the pull the Crown Prince of Crime has on her. The show’s opener features Joker abandoning her, leaving her to rot in Arkham Asylum for a full year, and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) working to help her friend get over her puddin’.

Charlie’s Angels

Alan Rapp / May 1, 2020 / Home Video

Title: Charlie’s Angels
IMDb: link

Charlie’s Angels is a sequel (of sorts) to both the 70s television show and the movies from the early 2000s, Charlie’s Angels and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. The Townsend Agency has gone global, there are now Angels in offices all around the world (and for reasons never explored, each has a support agent all of whom use the codename of Bosley). The team the film focuses on is made up of former heiress and thief Sabina Wilson (Kristen Stewart) and former MI6 agent Jane Kano (Ella Balinska) who are assigned to help programmer Elena Houghlin (Naomi Scott) who has uncovered some dangerous truths about her company’s new technology. After extraction, Elena’s skill set proves useful and she soon becomes one of the team.

The movie highlights some of the goofiness of the original television show in terms of disguises and planning, it also ratches up the action quite a bit. There are plots and subplots here, some making the main story more convoluted than necessary and others simply used as filler.
