  • Title: Will Trent – No Faith in Second Chances
  • IMDb: link

As Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) investigate a body found under a house after a fire which seems to trace back to Rafael (Antwayn Hopper), Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) investigate the murder of a young woman where all the evidence points to Angie’s former coworker (Dan Gill) who proclaims his innocence for the crime (along with the original crime which he was sent to jail for years before). Despite her initial belief in his guilt, so much so she even takes a shot at him in the episode, Angie begins to suspect that his claim of being framed might not be as outrageous as it initially seems (although she has trouble getting anyone in the department to agree with her).

With a new Disney+ show exploring the origins of  the latest version of Spider-Man, Spidey Sunday takes us back to my favorite animated version of Spider-Man‘s (Dan Gilvezan) origin story in the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends episode “Along Came Spidey.” The episode, which premiered in Fall 1982, hits all the classic moments of the classic Spider-Man origin story while framing it in an extended flashback caused by current events. After Aunt May (June Foray) is injured during a fight between the Spidey Friends and the Shocker (John Stephenson), a guilty Peter considers giving up the mantle of Spider-Man and tells his friends how he got his powers and the important lesson he learned about power and responsibility.

  • wiki: link | link

The second and third episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man focus on  Peter Parker‘s (Hudson Thames) internship as Oscorp which turns out to be nothing more than the machinations of Norman Osborne (Colman Domingo) to identify Spider-Man from the most likely young suspects and thank him for saving Harry‘s (Zeno Robinson) life. Both Peter’s internship and his mentorship with Norman get off to rocky starts, but there are positives as Peter enjoys working with Dr. Carla Connors (Zehra Fazal) on an experiment and, despite initially turning down his offer of help, discovers how useful Norman can be as an ally when fighting a pair of pretty lame baddies in Speed Demon (Roger Craig Smith) and Tarantula (Anairis Quiñones).

The first Paddington film in eight years takes Paddington (Ben Whishaw) and the Brown family out of London and into the jungles of Peru. Flipping the fish-out-of-water concept of the series on its head, the third film in the franchise returns Paddington to the jungle while pushing the Brown family, who all choose to accompany him, into unfamiliar surroundings allowing them to react to the strange new world.

Captain America: Middling New World

  • Title: Captain America: Brave New World
  • IMDb: link

Providing Sam Wilson‘s (Anthony Mackie) first big-screen appearance of Captain America, transforming President Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford) into Red Hulk, and laying the some connective tissue between past and future films such as finally pulling on the Celestial thread left over from The Eternals, Captain America: Brave New World proves to be another middling entry to the MCU post Avengers: Endgame as I’m not sure making a good film, rather than a serviceable one, ever made it past the planning stage.
