Tales of the Empire - The Path of Hate

“The Path of Hate” is a disappointing end to the Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) storyline. Instead of showing us her working under Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), the storyline jumps to a time after the Empire’s defeat and Thrawn’s disappearance in the era of the New Republic where officials arrive on the planet to try and take Calodan away from the magistrate. Of all the possible stories to tell over her life, this seems one of the least interesting as its giving us basically the version of the character we’ve already seen in The Mandalorian rather than expand her story by showing us something new as she brutally kills and destroys rather than gives in.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Bad Boys: Ride or Die is exactly what you would expect from the franchise known for its inconsistent consistency. We get plenty of action and explosions, overly convoluted plot leading into some humorous (and some groanworthy) situations, and a hefty dose of nostalgia and nods to fans for a franchise that is now nearly 30 years old. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return once more, this to to clear the name of their former captain (Joe Pantoliano who appears in flashbacks and shitty artsy-fartsy dream sequences). Thrown in are the obvious bad guy hiding in plain sight along with the returning Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Paola Núñez.

Bad Boys II

Like most action sequels, Bad Boys II is bigger and louder than the first film. However, it’s not necessarily any better. On one hand, the sequel spends a bit more time on the script than the original actually creating reasons for the constant bickering between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and the crazy antics and action. On the other hand, things inevitably get out of control in the bloated script with a final act that more resembles Commando that any sort of believable police story.

Red Sonja #11

Red Sonja #11

As the war looms, and gods and mortals prepare for battle, Red Sonja goes in search of an item she is told can save the world: the soul of a god. Red Sonja #11 is a pretty talking issue mostly setting up future events, explaining the wills of the gods, and offering a revelation at the end which will change everything as we see Sonja interacting with some of the bizarre new people she’s met and goes in search of the soul of a god which Kulan Garth covets and may be the key to everything.
