VOL 7. Oillipheist the Irish Dragon Serpent.

The Oilliphéist: Guardian of the Murky Waters

In the heart of Ireland, where the veil between the mortal realm and the Otherworld grew thin, there existed a place both feared and revered—the shores of Lough Neagh. Its waters, like darkened mirrors, held secrets older than memory itself. And at the heart of those depths slumbered a creature of legend—the Oilliphéist.

The Origins of the Oilliphéist:

The druids whispered that the Oilliphéist was born from the primordial chaos, a serpent forged in the forge of forgotten gods. Its scales shimmered like midnight stars, each one etched with symbols of forgotten languages. Its eyes—two fiery orbs—held the knowledge of ages, and its breath carried the scent of distant lands.

The Curse of the Oilliphéist:

The villagers knew better than to venture too close to Lough Neagh. For the Oilliphéist demanded tribute—an offering of livestock, precious gems, or even a maiden’s hand. Those who dared defy it faced dire consequences. Their homes flooded, their crops withered, and their cattle vanished beneath the murky waves.

Generations passed, and the Oilliphéist’s wrath remained unyielding. Its coils, longer than the tallest oaks, circled the lake, binding it to its watery domain. The villagers whispered prayers to the old gods, seeking protection from the serpent’s malevolence.

Cian, the Brave Warrior:

But fate weaves strange patterns, and one day, a young warrior named Cian emerged from the mist. His sword, forged from the heart of a fallen star, gleamed with otherworldly light. Cian had heard the tales—the Oilliphéist’s curse, its insatiable hunger for tribute, and the sorrow it wrought upon the land.

Determined to free his people, Cian set forth. The water stirred as he approached, and the Oilliphéist’s eyes emerged—a pair of fiery orbs fixated on its challenger.

“Bold mortal,” hissed the serpent, its voice echoing across the water. “Why do you disturb my slumber?”

Cian stood firm. “Your reign of terror ends today,” he declared. “Release this land from your grip, or face my blade.”

The Battle Beneath the Waters:

The Oilliphéist laughed—a sound like distant thunder. “You think a mere sword can defeat me? I am older than the hills, older than the stars. I have seen empires rise and fall.”

But Cian was undeterred. He lunged, striking at the serpent’s scales. Yet each wound healed instantly, and the Oilliphéist coiled tighter, threatening to drag him under.

Desperate, Cian remembered an ancient incantation—a secret passed down from druid to druid. He chanted the words, invoking the power of the elements. The water churned, and the serpent writhed in agony.

“Enough!” roared the Oilliphéist. “I yield.”

The Oilliphéist’s Confession:

It uncoiled, revealing its true form—a creature of sorrow and longing. “Long have I guarded these waters,” it confessed. “A curse binds me here, and only a hero’s sacrifice can break it.”

Cian hesitated. “What sacrifice?”

“The heart of a true warrior,” whispered the serpent. “Plunge your sword into my breast, and the curse shall lift.”

Cian’s hand trembled as he drove the blade into the serpent’s chest. The waters surged, and the Oilliphéist dissolved into mist. The curse lifted, and Lough Neagh sparkled in the sunlight once more.

Legacy of the Oilliphéist:

Cian returned to the village, hailed as a hero. But he carried the memory of the Oilliphéist—the guardian of murky waters—forever etched in his soul. And so, the legend endured—a reminder that even monsters had stories, and sometimes, their fates were intertwined with our own.

And there, by the shores of Lough Neagh, the Oilliphéist’s tale lives on, whispered in the wind and reflected in the ripples of ancient waters.

You trying to tell me these 3 hens speak French??

It’s Only Teenage Wasteland #1 (of 4) -  Curt Pires & Jacoby Salcedo

When his parents go out of town for the weekend, Mexican-American high schooler Javi decides to throw a party-one that'll launch him and his buds into popularity! Or at least get them noticed by some girls. But when things take a turn for the worse, Javi and his friends are thrust into a situation and future they could have never possibly prepared for. For fans of The Nice House on the Lake and What's the Furthest Place From Here? or other comics with really long titles and cool high concepts.

Radiant Pink #1 (of 5) -  Meghan Camarena, Melissa Flores & Emma Kubert 

Life is good for Eva. Ever since teleporting superhero RADIANT PINK (her secret alter ego) started guesting on her streams, her view count has skyrocketed-and fame and fortune are surely close behind. But when a charity appearance is interrupted by a squad of mercenaries hunting for the Radiant that powers her, Eva will find herself very far out of her comfort zone.

All Against All #1 (of 5) -  Alex Paknadel & Caspar Wijngaard

In All Against All, it is the distant future. Earth is long gone, but a race of alien conquerors knows as "the Operators" have preserved its most savage animals in an artificial jungle environment they barely understand.

With no bodies of their own, the Operators move from world to world, harvesting bodies for the organic exosuits they use to wage their endless wars. Ignored and underestimated by his captors is the habitat's sole human specimen, Helpless. However, when their efforts to find and harvest an apex predator intensify, he gives them far more than they bargained for.

Hexware #1 (of 6) -  Tim Seeley & Zulema Lavina

Why sell your soul...when you can buy a new one?

In a corporate-ruled world where class inequality is greater than ever, a desperate, lonely populace is drawn to neo-spiritualism and hedge magic. When their teenage daughter is murdered, the Marks family is left asking the gods what they did to deserve this. But their android maid, Which-Where, has a different approach. Perhaps if she asked the devil...

Know Your Station #1 (of 5) -  Sarah Gailey & Liana Kangas

The wealthiest people in the solar system abandoned the Earth for a private sanctuary in space, leaving the rest of us to die amidst cataclysmic climate change. But the 1% won't be safe for long...A murderer is on the loose, specifically targeting the super-rich. Soon Elise, an employee of the billionaire's space station, is wrapped up in a deadly investigation, with each issue featuring a new, diabolically different kill!

Quested #1 -  Michael Calero, Thomas Parson, Kit Wallis & Kim Jacinto

Quested fuses the attitude of Hellboy and the fantasy-adventure spirit of Legend of Zelda as it follows the questing misadventures of pawn shop owner and morally ambiguous hero-for-hire, Jinx, through a world filled with lizard henchmen, dungeon-bosses, and unicorn burgers! "Episode 1: Faux Highness" When a plan to take advantage of a desperate king trying to protect his daughter goes wrong, Jinx and his two accomplices (I mean guild members!) find themselves actually having to save the princess.

Dahlia In The Dark #1 (of 6) -  Joe Corallo & Andrea Milana

A washed up hitman, Donny Dahlia, takes one last job transporting a package cross country in the hopes of seeing his estranged daughter again. Little does he know this job is going to get him caught in the middle of a war between the fairy realms that could determine the fate of humankind. Dahlia in the Dark is a fast-paced, action, fantasy thriller about family and hidden truths.

Rainbow Days GN Vol 1 -  Minami Mizuno

These four friends couldn't be more different: Natsuki Hashiba, a dreamer who longs for love, Tomoya Matsunaga, a self-centered playboy, Keiichi Katakura, a winsome guy with a hidden saucy streak, and Tsuyoshi Naoe, a socially awkward nerd who loves anime, manga, and games. Together their high school days are as vibrant as rainbows!

Gargoyles #1 -  Greg Weisman, George Kambadais & David Nakayama

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was THE AGE OF GARGOYLES. Stone by day, Warriors by night, they were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect...frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and they live again! They are Defenders of the Night! THEY ARE GARGOYLES!

Series creator GREG WEISMAN and illustrator GEORGE KAMBADAIS reintroduce the Manhattan Clan, a family of Gargoyles at full strength, though modern New York City is full of attractions and distractions, and each member of the clan has begun to go their own way. But their bonds will be tested, when nefarious factions from all across the world attempt to steal that rarest, most precious of possessions...an unhatched Gargoyle egg!

Yakuza Fiancé GN Vol 1 -  Asuka Konishi

Yoshino grew up as the yakuza princess of the Osaka Somei crime family. Everyone left her alone due to her sharp gaze and mobster ties. But when her grandfather signs a truce with the Tokyo-based Miyama crime family, she's offered for betrothal to the Miyama leader's grandson, Kirishima. At first, Kirishima seems amiable and polite-but when he shows his dark side, he proves to be more disturbing than any gangster Yoshino has ever met. This engagement is sure to be a wild ride for a tough yakuza princess and her twisted yakuza prince!

Whatcha picking up this week, Fantomites?

A Thank You

Earlier this week I announced the first album release for Brendemir Fenwick. Legends of a Distant Realm is the cumulative result of the commissions that I’ve done over the past year and a half, with some additional tracks that I composed added in. 

A massive thank you to the nine legendary heroes (pictured above) for commissioning me to create works inspired by their characters. It was a joy to work with them all and while I knew I would enjoy writing the music, I didn’t realise just how much fun and how fulfilling it would be.

Thank you sincerely to all of you for your support, your interest in my music and your patience. There will be lots more to come in the new year, so please look forward to it!

x Bren

The album is available for pre-order download and streaming at my Bandcamp store. The full release is on Tuesday, 15 December.

3. Oath to Sword and Shield

4. Queen of Hearts

"A woman of mystery, of music and intrigue Beguiling the senses to find what she seeks An enigma, a dream, a desire, an illusion With a touch, she captures you in a web of confusion Beware this femme fatale as you drink her in The Queen of Hearts, she will lead yours to sin" — for Odette Saoirse, @sonataofsteel

genshin verse. La Cour des Fées – Seelie, Fae, and Adventuring.

this was originally started as a short little post about what would most likely draw Honey into joining the Traveler on their ventures, in spite of her somewhat ‘lazy’ outward persona and general distaste for being put in unsatisfactory situations, but it turns out there’s a lot of layers to peel back on this one. so. yeehaw!

seelie, in traditional folklore, are generally regarded as being “benevolent or beneficially-inclined fair(ies),” with unseelie as their binary foil, accounting for the “malicious or malevolent fae.” seelie are the kind to seek help from humans, warn those who have offended them, and return human kindness with favors of their own; though this generally “good” nature still leaves room for their proneness to mischief, and tendency to avenge perceived insults against them. 

in teyvat, we see much of this described behavior emulated: not only an interest in humans, but the give-and-take relationship of rewarding a favor in kind (with treasure, access, or so-on). but these seelie are far less visibly similar to human kinds, or even other spirit/primordial beings like the adepti of liyue and spiritual envoys in inazuma. the seelie now scattered across the nations are called "remnants” of a “bygone race that once held beautiful forms and immense wisdom, used to guide mankind,” predating even the eldest of the known gods, who had palaces “outside the realm where gods hold authority”— most likely referring to the Dark Sea, but left somewhat nebulous.

legend also says that: 

the ancestor of these seelie once met a traveler from afar, whom they married; but only thirty days after their union, disaster struck, (the cataclysm). the seelie fled with their lover into exile, but the calamity caught up with them. they were said to be “separated from each other for eternity, their memories wiped without a trace... [eventually growing] so sullen and withdrawn that their wondrous forms withered away, leaving fragments of their former selves scattered in the mountains and ruins. 

they had forgotten so much, lost so much, and been stripped of their voices and wisdom, yet they continued to sing the same songs of grief. Because of this, and with a trace of deep love still lingering for their lost lover, they will act as guides to travelers who stop in the mountain mist, seeking to retrace their memories of an ancient story in long-abandoned ruins, disused makeup cabinets, and now-undecipherable poetry.

( Records of Jueyun, Vol. 4 ).

...we all know that stories and fairy-tales don’t capture the whole truth of the past, but often they get the gist. wherever reality falls between these legends and the “truth,” the fact remains that the seelie encountered by travelers are displaced, astray, often looking to fulfill a simple favor before being guided home, to their little “court” (as the humble plinths are called), and allowed to rest.

the fae that Adaline— and her daughter, Honey– descended from were perhaps one and the same with those ancient seelie, diverging only somewhere before the archon wars, as with the lochfolk and other kin. history is long, and uncertain. what is sure is that their kinship, however distant, remains. there’s an instinct somewhere deep in the heart of even the halfling fairy which instinctively wants to aid travelers, even if that help is only as much as a warm handmade treat, a kind word, and dutifully imparted directions.

more than that, though, Honey might surprise those who know her well by frequently being taken by wanderings, into places which someone so combat-averse would be wise to avoid: ruins, caves, and other forgotten places... but it can’t be helped. she can’t bare to sense where the seelie remain, restless, yet tireless, and not try to fulfil their last favor— guiding them home, and to peace, after so long. 

teaming with the traveler may mean stumbling into a number of unfortunate events along the way, but as much as she might whine and pitch her distressed dramatics from time to time, it’s worth it for the access they’d provide in turn, often venturing into places which would be much too dangerous for her to go alone... and, at the end of the day, she really does like looking out for the outworlder, as much as she pretends to resist.

how much of this she divulges from the start? debatable. she’s not the most secretive woman in the world, as we know, but this connection runs deeper and more delicate than the rest of her often light-hearted interests. but if she trusts someone, she’d give the TL;DR, at least. but the easy reason she gives for travels abroad is ‘collecting more recipes for her business,’ determined to be the foremost sweet-maker in all the seven nations.

...this, too, veils a deeper motivation. but she keeps that secret a little closer to her chest.

Released: July 17, 2015 Running Time: 1 hour 58 minutes

“Forced out of his own company by former protégé Darren Cross, Dr. Hank Pym recruits the talents of Scott Lang,, a master thief just released from prison. Lang becomes Ant-Man, trained by Pym and armed with a suit that allows him to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength and control an army of ants. The miniature hero must use his new skills to prevent Cross, also known as Yellowjacket, from perfecting the same technology and using it as a weapon for evil.”

You can find all of the reviews for the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the link here. At that link, you can also find the dates that the other reviews for the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be posted. My plan is to release one every single day, and because I’ve already reviewed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 here, and Spider – Man: Homecoming here, they will not be included in the two weeks leading up to Thor Ragnarok.

As such, I will now move onto the actual review of the film, and I hope you enjoy!

Cast and Crew

This film was directed by Peyton Reed, after a very controversial parting of the ways between Edgar Wright and Marvel Studios over creative differences. I wish we could have seen Wright’s vision for this film, but I was still happy with what we got from Reed. Reed’s work as a director includes the ‘Back to the Future’ television show, the 2000 film ‘Bring it On’, 2008’s film ‘Yes Man’ as well as other works not mentioned here. He is currently filming the follow up to this film, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ which is coming out in late 2018.

The original story was written by Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright, the adapted screenplay was re-written by Paul Rudd & Adam McKay, who adapted the screenplay that Cornish and Wright had written. As such, I will mention Rudd and McKay’s previous work as writers. Rudd has previously written the 2008 film ‘Role Models’ as well as the television show ‘Party Down’. He has since written the screenplay for ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’. McKay has worked on many Will Ferrell films such as ‘Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy’ in 2004, ‘Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’ in 2006, ‘Step Brothers’ in 2008 and ‘Get Hard’, and ‘The Big Short’ in 2015.

Review

Paul Rudd’s portrayal of Scott Lang was a lot more charming than I would have thought given the brash nature of his comic book counterpart. He got into the shape that was required to play the slender Ant-Man, and the scenes with his daughter felt real, and was really touching. I’m happy that he did such a good job at playing another sarcastic, funny genius in the MCU.

Michael Douglas played the elder and original Ant-Man, Hank Pym, a now retired superhero after the unfortunate ‘death’ of his wife Janet. As he was distant with his daughter Hope after the passing of her mother, she aided Darren Cross in ousting Pym from his own company. I feel like Douglas did a really good job at playing the mentor / hurt father figure. I thought that it was a good idea to have an actor of his quality join the ranks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Evangeline Lily did a really good job at playing the bad-ass, tough and emotionally hurt Hope Pym. I feel like the relationship that she and Douglas felt very real. I can’t wait to see how she portrays the new Wasp, and what kind of relationship she will have with Scott going forward after the last scene with the two of them. I’ll talk more about the relationship issues between the fathers and daughters below.

The standout and surprising star of the movie, Luis, who was perfectly played by Michael Peña. I think that every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs a little bit of Luis, narrating mini flashback scenes. It could have easily been annoying, however it somehow worked, and was done brilliantly. He also turned out to be the MCU version of ‘One Punch Man’ (except that one guy took 2 punches), and I enjoyed how excited and lovable they made him and the rest of the gang.

Corey Stoll’s take on the villain of the film, Darren Cross, was interesting because it was essentially a reverse story from the first Iron Man film, where the villain was a protege of the original hero, and was still a businessman. He did a good job at playing the genius that was hurt by his mentor and started to go mad as he was being exposed to the shrinking chemicals without protecting his brain which would be affecting his brain chemistry, as mentioned by Hank Pym to Scott Lang.

One of the things that I enjoy about the movies in the MCU is the inter-connectivity, an example of this is when one of the interested buyers of the Yellowjacket suits and shrinking technology that Cross developed from the idea from Pym were from Hydra, who are now out of the shadows.

The scene that takes place in 1989, when Hank Pym goes to see Howard Stark, Peggy Carter and Mitchell Carson, to resign from S.H.I.E.L.D. as they were trying to copy his formula for the Pym Particles. The way in which they Deaged Michael Douglas was both creepy and cool, as it looked weird, but something felt off about it.

Another point of inter – connectivity was the fact that the old Stark warehouse was turned into the new Avengers facility, which forced Lang to try to steal from the Avengers, which he did a surprisingly good job at. Anthony Mackie made a ‘surprise’ cameo as Sam Wilson / Falcon in a fun scene in which Scott decides to negotiate ‘borrowing’ a piece of technology from the Avengers, after he so kindly introduced himself. The fight and the subsequent mention of keeping what just happened from Cap was entertaining.

The relationship between the fathers and the daughters in this film is something that was really well portrayed and displayed a both the good and the bad. Lang’s relationship with his daughter is sad as he wants to be involved in her life, but is unable to because he can’t afford it, but is still seen as a hero in her eyes, and loves the ugly bunny that he gives her for her birthday. Pym’s relationship with Hope is a distant one as he didn’t make time to grieve with his daughter in the years following the disappearance of Janet in the Quantum Realm, but he wants to protect her at all costs. Pym doesn’t want Lang’s daughter to lose the look in her eyes when she looks at her father, as Hope doesn’t think of Hank as a hero anymore.

One of the best things about this movie was the decision by the filmmakers to make the step father, Paxton, who was played by Bobby Cannavale, not be a total dick and actually be a really great guy. He cares about Cassie, and only wants what’s best for her. I was really happy that they made that decision and the relationship between Paxton, Scott and Maggie was mature, and real.

This movie had some parts of it that was very much straight out of a heist film, which I enjoyed seeing a different genre in the MCU. I would have prefered it to have a bit more planning, and details about the plans, but I think they did an okay job at what they did show.

There was many similarities from other MCU films where the villain has a very similar ‘gimmick’ to the hero of the film, and that is something that can be seen by some as boring or to be copying their formula, however my response to that is that it’s obviously working out for them, and it also displays both ends of the spectrum and shows the differences between the hero and the villain. is very similar to hero

The macro cinematography in this film was something new to the MCU, and I feel like they did a really good job at showing the perspective of Lang when he was tiny. The cinematography as a whole was also really well done, thanks to the director of photography Russell Carpenter.

I found the use of the Quantum Realm to be lots of fun, and gave people a taste that we would eventually get in Doctor Strange. They also showed what people were thinking, in quickly showing the outline of Janet Pym / Wasp on Scott’s helmet as shown in the picture below.

The mid credit sequence was Hank Pym showing his daughter Hope a prototype Wasp suit that he and his wife Janet were working on back in the late 1980s, telling Hope that it turns out they were making it for her, and maybe it’s her turn to get into the suit. She then turns to the camera and says that it’s about damn time.

The post credit scene for Ant-Man was a fragment of a scene from Captain America: Civil War, setting up the accords, and the rift that has grown between Rogers and Stark. Wilson and Rogers have managed to ‘lock’ up Barnes in a vice grip. Wilson then goes on to tell Cap that he knows a guy that might be able to help them, implying the new superhero he encountered in Scott Lang.

Overall, I was entertained by this movie, and while yes the story wasn’t original, the way it was told made it a lot better. I really enjoyed the characters in this movie, especially Luis and his narrations. I loved the fact that they gave us a heist type film and they managed to make ants cute and adorable. At the end of the day, it’s not a perfect film, but in my opinion it was just good enough to be a great movie. It set up the character and possible future characters well, while also integrating it within the larger MCU. It’s time for me to give this film a score, and I’m sticking with the score that I originally gave it when I first saw this film in theatres 2 years ago, and that’s a score of 8/10.

What did you think of the film? Are you excited for Thor Ragnarok? Let me know in the comments below!

Thanks for reading,
