WandaVision Reaction Blog: Episodes 1&2

-

 Alright I've just finished the first 2 episodes of Marvel's new Disney+ series and I think the best word to describe my initial feelings is intrigued. It's very very interesting to see modern characters in a vintage setting, and not having grown up during that time, I have to say that from what I know, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany capture the tone very nicely. I would be curious to hear what someone who grew up with the older sitcoms would have to say though.

 I had heard that there would be some sort of tie in with this show to the overall MCU and that it will have an effect on the upcoming multiverse plot, but I was skeptical that the show would start slow in that sense and save those plot lines for the end of the season. Already in the first two episodes though, there are rumblings of a larger plot beyond what we see on screen, and I am very excited to see how that plays out. The show also plays around with fun ideas like Vision's artificial intelligence and the couple's relationship compared to a "normal" pair. Safe to say I am extremely excited for (hopefully?) another two episodes next week. 

I really enjoyed writing this blog, as Marvel has quickly become a large part of my life, and the MCU represents to me what Star Wars may have been for much of the previous generation. I am cautiously optimistic to see where the MCU goes after the plot of the Infinity Saga, and look forward to sharing my thoughts with you all as this journey goes on!

King Arthur Buttermilk Pancake Mix Review

This mix has a lot of promise. The mini stack I had today wasn't the best I've ever had, but I think there was definitely some user error involved. It's a lot thicker than the usual batter I make, so I'll need to either pour a different amount or thin it out with some water or milk.  The taste of the pancakes is great. They taste a lot like homemade pancakes and cooked really nicely. They were a little bit too dense for my taste preferences, but certainly not uneatable by any means. I will definitely be making these again and hopefully they'll be even better next time. For now I think I'll give them a 7.1 out of 10.

Ranking EVERY NBA 2022/2023 City Edition Jersey

-

Preamble Alright, before we dive into the rankings, I want to get a couple of things out of the way. There are far more jerseys this year that I just simply do not like. I think this is a product of Nike forcing this program on the NBA teams and making them come up with new designs every year for six years now. There's only so much some teams can do, and in some cases, they did their best work already and are now being forced to turn in bad products. Second, I think it is absolutely pathetic how many teams relied on a phrase located near the waist of the jersey in order to claim some sort of tie-in to their city. THAT PART IS TUCKED IN DURING GAMES! Nobody is going to see those phrases, so if that's your only thread of hope, it's probably not a good one. These jerseys will be ranked based on two factors: 1. How nice does the jersey look? 2. How well did the jersey capture the city or something about the city? Lastly, these are just my rankings. If you love a jersey I hated,...

WandaVision Episode 4 Reaction!!

 Season 1, Episode 4: We Interrupt This Program I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! This was by far my favorite episode yet. We are really diving deep into what's REALLY going on, and it's so cool!! We also get great cameos in my opinion from Randall Park as FBI Agent Jimmy Woo and Kat Dennings as Dr. Darcy Lewis. Both of them did terrific jobs in my opinion carrying on their character from their previous appearances. If you've been skeptical of the sitcom style up to this point, this episode is right up your alley. More analysis below with spoilers if you are looking to discuss, or just read someone else's opinion! WOW right from the cold open of this episode, I was fully invested. We get another scene showing the aftermath of the blip, actually getting to experience a tiny piece of what it was like to reappear through the eyes of Monica Rambeau, the daughter of Captain Marvel's friend Maria "Photon" Rambeau, who passed away 2 years after Thanos's snap in Infinity W...
