Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Southern Air Temple

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to the world of elemental benders and a 12 year-old boy destined to return balance to the Four Nations. The reality of the world he’s lost hits home for Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) when he, Katara (Mae Whitman), and Sokka (Jack De Sena) reach the ruins of the Southern Air Temple. Upon discovering the skeleton of his friend and mentor Gyatso (Sab Shimono), Aang unintentionally enters his Avatar state and alerts the world to his return. The episode is also notable for introducing the winged lemur Momo who joins the group on their travels and for the subplot in which Prince Zuko (Dante Basco) defeats Commander Zhao (Jason Isaacs) in a contest that proves his skill and alludes to how the prince received his scar.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Will the Real May Please Stand Up?

From the episode’s title, you can probably guess that this is the episode the dives into May’s (Kiersey Clemons) past and explores what she’s been running from. Given the foreshadowing and build-up, the reveal is a bit underwhelming but how events of the episode unfold do have ripples across the MonsterVerse beyond just this series as it relates to Applied Experimental Technologies. Needing help finding the friend they basically already abandoned, Cate (Anna Sawai) and Kentaro (Ren Watabe) team up with Tim (Joe Tippett) eventually leading to Monarch stepping in and helping procure her release, allowing her to rejoin the halfsiblings in their search.

Moon Knight #30

And so we come to the end. More of an extended epilogue (with a couple additional epilogues thrown in at the end) than a final issue, we get the gloating and reasoning of the Black Spectre and the death of Moon Knight to prevent the former friend turned super-villain’s attack on New York City. We also get Zodiac making a deal with the Midnight Mission, a Leverage-style tease for Marc’s former comrades continuing on without him, and a final word from writer Jed MacKay who promises the journey isn’t over just yet.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Terrifying Miracles

After more of a concentration on current events and flashbacks into the pasts of Cate (Anna Sawai) and Kentaro (Ren Watabe), “Terrifying Miracles” brings back the 50s storyline with flashbacks that run through several import moments in Monarch history. We get a holiday party flashback to party in the 50s party which teases the romantic undercurrent between Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) and Lee (Wyatt Russell) which plays into a later flashback when Lee chooses Keiko over Monarch pushing control of the organization into the bigoted military officer played by Matthew MacCaull who doubts every aspect of it. The flashbacks also show the return of Godzilla, a secret Lee chooses to keep from the military given the shake-up within the organization.
