Once and Future #25

/ / Comics

With Duncan, Bridgette, and Rose having joined Robin Hood and his Merry Men (which turns out to have some advantages to our heroes aside from fodder to throw at the various Arthurs battling over which of them will pull the sword from the stone), our heroes continue to fight the good fight while trying to stay alive. As fans have grown to expect there’s a mix of fun and craftiness in Once and Future #25 including how Bridgette gets our trio signed up with Robin Hood (and what she’s really after in joining his merry little band).

Wolf Like Me – Episode 6

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Wolf Like Me – Episode 6
  • IMDb: link

The First Season of Wolf Like Me concludes with a camping trip for Mary (Isla Fisher), Gary (Josh Gad), and Emma (Ariel Donoghue) a little too close to the next full moon than any reasonable person might tempt fate. Of course, something goes wrong (car trouble) and Emma discovers the secret of her father’s girlfriend in the most horrifying way possible. Still finding a way end on an upbeat of understanding and acceptance, the finale suggests the family will face its unusual struggles in the future but can survive them (as longas Mary doesn’t eat them both). The show has been renewed for another season, so it looks like there will be time to explore where things go from here.

Legacies – Into the Woods

  • Title: Legacies – Into the Woods
  • wiki: link

After getting her butt kicked by a god, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) spends a little recovery time in Limbo leading to a reunion with Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) whose own path out of Limbo looks to far more complicated than he expected. The calm before the next conflict with the gods is really just an excuse to get these two star-crossed kids back together for a moment before sending them back on their own adventures. Of the various B-stories, the one with immediate consequences involves Ken (Luke Mitchell) striking a partnership with Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) to kill the tribrid (although, as yet, neither knows how this can be accomplished). It’s of note for Ben sharing a bit of his life with her suggesting that in Aurora’s twisted mind his choices towards his children did indeed makes sense, or, just perhaps, his offspring aren’t the innocent victims they’ve portrayed themselves to be.

Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters
  • wiki: link

Given the time Moon Knight has taken meandering its way to a final conflict, perhaps it was inevitable that the finale would be rushed. Still, “Gods and Monsters” succeeds in what’s needed by returning Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) and, somewhat surprisingly, Steven Grant back to the land of the living to take on Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) and Ammit (Saba Mubarak). Layla (May Calamawy) gets a power upgrade as well by becoming the (temporary?) avatar of Taweret (Antonia Salib) although the god doesn’t show up herself to help Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham), and her help would have been appreciated. While their god isn’t done with Marc and Steven, given how much Layla enjoyed being an Egyptian super-hero it’s unclear whether or not she could decide to continue on as an avatar.
