Abominable and the Invisible City – Jin’s New Look

While there’s a nice message there, and Peng (Ethan Loh) finds a moment to stand-up to both Jin and Yi (Chloe Bennet) who both get distracted (Jin by his coat, and later being turned invisbile, and Yi from the creature not appreciating her music), “Jin’s New Look” is the weakest episode of the series so far.

Wakanda Forever

  • Title: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
  • IMDb: link

More Shakespearean tragedy than super-hero film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever wears its bruised heart on its sleeve mourning the loss of King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman). Taking the idea of arrive late, leave early, to extreme, we open with the death of T’Challa (off-camera and from causes never fully explored). After glimpses of his funeral, we advance a full year to look in at the state of his family and his country in the world still mourning their lost hero.
