ARCANE SEASON 2 ARC 1 SPOILERS

.

Arc 1 is emotional, good written and very beautiful. Hope Arc 2 and 3 will be even better, concidering the stakes.

I just hope that this series will not finish as the most series do this days - with dead lesbians... That's final season, please, let characters be redeemed and happy after all of this drama for once...

MINOR SPOILERS FOR Life is Strange: Double Exposure

I've just finished new LiS game and can't get rid of a thought that Max is actually not a good person... Obviously, all questionable choices are done by the player, however there are some boundary breaking points required for investigation that quite surprised me on how abusive those are to a relationship with other people.

Overall, game is beautiful and quite enjoyable, when you don't think to much, especially about moral choices...

Well... It was chill shopping episode until it wasn't.

I was a little bit disappointed that Laudna didn't push a little bit further and didn't remember that actually Orym and partially Ashton were those who push her to first use of Hunger of the Shadow. Obviously, it was her choice in the first place, but they didn't stop her either and even encouraged her. Which is making Orym a little bit hypocritical to my taste, since he, maybe this time subconsciously, pushing her buttons again.

Marisha, Liam and Matt did a great job with all this tension.

Last Imodna scene broke my heart and then mended it once again... I hope Imogen will not close herself again and this time truly will be there for Laudna.

Val Cooper is missing according to episode 7.

I know who you are!

Someone on Twitter mentioned that Val Cooper was on site for all devastating events, such as attack in court and attack on Genoshia. Obviously, it's her UN work, however could it be more Destiny related stuff?

I don't remember any mentions of Irene Adler in original show, but it's seems fitting to me that she might appear now and guide her partner through this events.

Obviously, it's not set in stone that Val Cooper is actually Mystique, but shapeshifter definitely should make an appearance for her daughter after what happened in the last episode. And I bet that Kurt will stay with an X-Men, so we might see some Darkhölme family drama in future. Hopefully, done right, with some redemption arc.

X-Men'97 Episode 5 SPOILERS

What a ride... At first I've thought this episode will be "down the memory lane", but at the moment when Cable show up and everything start go south...

Usually in comics you are sure about survival/possible revival of certain individuals, however now I'm not sure, because doing timey-wimey on all of this stuff will be a cheating, considering all impact for the future. But maybe that's why Cable appears in the first place.

Poor Rogue. She just understood who she wants and then... She lost so much this day and her step-brother is not in a good condition as well... I like Nightcrawler rebooted look by the way, more suitable for his circus past.

Where Mystique is, through? I'm under impression that she is with us from episode one, just still under cover. I wonder, if Madeline truly dead?

Not much to tell, just amazing, action pact episode with split party done well. So much thought about last 10 minutes and missions that they had, all danger that are looming above them (figuratively and literally)... And by the way, revivify and other resurrection magic still not working, right? Can't wait to see next episode. Is it Thursday yet?

On a side note, can this sitting arrangement be permanent till end of campaign, please?

Finally! Some team bounding time and conversations! Can't wait to see how their missions will turn up. I was under impression that Imogen will re-think her choice and will go to assassination mission to save Liliana, due to her attempt to convince them to take her as a prisoner... Well, technically she still can reach out and warn her. This scene between Temults was heartbreaking. I hope that assassination will fail, to be honest. There is still chance for Liliana, I am sure.

Fearne is going to meet her real father. Can't wait for see this reunion.

Imogen and Laudna convo... A lot has been unpacked, however Laudna hide the truth about reilora whose power she absorbed. However, I dont think she lied, just choose her words carefully with this symbiotic thing. Also, it kinda unfair, since she indeed has no choice considering her mental state at that Bor'Dor moment and was practically pushed by Orym and partially Ashton to this path, which Imogen is not aware of. Probably, this current railora in question shouldn't be a big problem due to time his body will spend in hole. However, Laudna should trust Imogen more, this woman can handle this, she is ok with dead warlock in her head, what could be more romantic?

"I am not a sweet girl!" - is this as sign, that Laudna is starting to fight her trauma/sweet voice in her head and try create some boundaries after this talk?

P.S. Delilah probably was sitting in Laudna head with a boal of pop corn whole this time. She is a sucker for a good star-crossed lovers drama.

Well, I was very careful with my expectations for this show, but wooow, it's awesome. Good pacing, careful nostalgia vibes, a lot of plot twists... And its in first 2 episodes only. They actually know what they are doing.

Not a fan of Rogue/Magneto though, however I understand this decision due to their story in comics. Hopefully, it will be used wisely and for character growth.

I really hope that it's not the last time when we saw Storm and she will come back soon as a proper leader of an X-men as she was in comics, so Cyclops could let go and Magneto go rule his own mutant kingdom.

I wonder, how they will adapt Jean/Madelyne plotline. Still, there hope for me that it's Mystique in disguise. Realy want to see more of her dynamic with Rogue and hopefully Nightcrawler. She is a great character and unfortunately old show have touched this topic to briefly, in comparison with X-Men Evolution

Fingers crossed, this show will continue strong and perform good for Disney, so they plan another season or two. Maybe X-Men it's what Marvel actually needed right now to improve.

I'll start this with lines from one of Steven Universe song "Both of you":

.. Why don't you talk to each other?

Why don't you talk to each other? Just give it a try.

Why don't you talk about what happened?

I know you're trying to avoid it, but I don't know why...

At this point it might be an anthem for Bells Hells and Imodna in particular. I really like all of lore amount and how their adventure might potentially change Exandria forever, but lack of personal quests and interactions keeps bugging me more and more. It seems like from "Trust" exercise in Fae realm all narrative is focused on a mission, which is understandable, however there are still room for deep conversations that never happened...

And there are so much to talk about for all of them.

However, on a bright side - all encounters on Moon was quite dynamic, funny and have quite non-trivial solutions, like one in the beginning of current episode.

MARVEL's WHAT IF...? season 2 major spoilers

Oh, that was an awesome season and an awesome final.

Hela, Kahhori and Nebula episodes are great and solid. It was nice to see Tony, Gamora and Valkyrie team up as well.

I really would like to see separate Captain Carter animated show. She is awesome character, especially when Steve is not around. Hopefully, she will find a peace in the next season and let her own grief go.

I see there are some complaints, that Captain and Kahhori had all this artifacts and blah..blah..blah, however I think it's just to show how powerful Strange Supreme actually was. Ending was a little bit rushed through, I would prefer to see more struggles in Strange before his demise.

Looking forward to see season 3...

Episode still on air, however so much thoughts about what happened... It's one of those personal episodes that could be a milestone for some characters future.

I've had some feelings that we will see/hear Delilah in today's episode, but not in these capacity. Finally she showed up and brought her cards to the table, however she definitely have some hidden motives still. That's quite scary how Laudna seems quite ready to be swallowed by darkness for common cause and don't quite see Imogen desperation regarding her possible sacrifice. It's like she still doesn't believe in happy ending for herself and Imogen...

Parallels between Delilah and Imogen are quite thrilling. Both are ready to do whatever it takes for their loved ones, however there are still hope for Imogen, since she is in beginning of this "I break the world for her" path and there are still options... She prayed to god for the first time of her life because for Laudna sake and she will probably jump to any possibility to save her. It all can be villainess origin.

I like that Bells Hells were able to have some time for fun and bounding. F.C.G. asking Chetney and Orym about their motives open up them a little bit.

Fearne and Ashton scene was sweet. Another very-very slow, but tasty slowburn in this campaign... Or, maybe not anymore, considering what happening at ziggurat, while I am writing this post...

Oh...Ashton...
