Talkie Tuesday: Spider-Man No Way Home

 

"With great power there must also come great responsibility."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Did you think I was done with Marvel?

 

I did too!

 

Especially since I haven't been overly impressed with the MCU's version of Spider-Man thus far, which I haven't kept a secret.

 

Listen, Tom Holland is great, I'm sure he is - but somehow the whole origins story when it's a teenager isn't something I go in for anymore, not at this point at least. Maybe it's because I don't feel like it? Or maybe it's just because a lot of it happens in a high school.

 

And I'm so over high school right now haha.

 

HOWEVER, that doesn't hold true for this last in the trilogy.

 

Because DAYUM, okay, everyone was correct! Everyone was definitely right about this one. So now you better make sure we can swing with our netting and communicate with Nick Fury.

 

Spider-Man: No Way Home is coming to your living room next.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Crisis on Infinite Earths

"There was an end ... and there is a beginning.

Thank you, Oliver."

Hello everyone!

Still with me here? Have all your memories, and know Lex Luthor is a bad, bad cookie?

Or are you one of those multitude of numbers who believe he's the Nobel prize winner that he portrays himself to be nowadays?

A lot of things have changed in the Multiverse since the antimatter hit it, and tonight, we're going to be looking at just WHAT happened when it did, and right afterwards.

If you're unfamiliar with the word, hello and welcome to tonight's blog post, in which we try to summarise some of our thoughts over the Crisis in general, come to terms with facts about certain shows, hopefully save the Multiverse from disappearing entirely, and say goodbye.

Yes, it's going to be that kind of blog post.

After all, even though there's been multiple times a crisis has hit our heroes before, none have been on the scale of what took place between December and January on the CW network.

Crisis on Infinite Earths has come.

Tome Thursday: The Crown of Ptolemy

Hello everyone!

Ohmygosh, I know.

It's taken me absolutely forever to finish this trilogy, and the things are only short e-novellas.

I'm terrible at keeping track of what still needs to be done when it comes to books, because I get too easily distracted by the whole lot of unread tomes out there.

I have a list as long as my arm of things I have yet to read, not to mention a couple of books that are begging to be reviewed, but right now I figured, might as well do something useful and actually stop pissing off a group of demigods.

And magicians. Never forget the magicians.

When Greek and Egyptian magic collide, you're bound to have some really great stories, and among them, Rick Riordan is probably the ultimate storyteller, at least so far as I've seen.

He did give us Percy Jackson, after all.

So let's check out The Crown of Ptolemy, and see what kind of trouble our favourite demigod gets himself into.

Tome Thursday: The Staff of Serapis

Hello everyone!

Time to continue on with what we started last week, although I only just realized that the finishing sequence of this trilogy will have to wait for JUST a little.

But before I get into that, let's head back into the world of mythos, shall we?

We're dealing with the Greeks and the Egyptians here, and if this sounds like something Blood & Treasure might have cooked up, or even straight out of history with the way Alexander the Great conquered Egypt and made it his personal province, well, you'd be right.

A lot of things you read in books have already happened throughout history, and NOTHING is weirder than actual history, let me tell you.

... There's actually nothing weirder than having huge gods run around with crocodile heads, but if people believed that and it kept them happy, I suppose we can't really argue against it, can we?

Last week, the boys got their adventure in the books.

This week it's girl time, since The Staff of Serapis is all about girl power.
