 Season 1 Episode 5: On A Very Special Episode...


I've been procrastinating writing this blog because to be honest I'm still not quite sure where I land on this specific episode. Don't get me wrong, I loved it from an entertainment standpoint, but as for what it does for the MCU going forward? That I'm not so sure on. 


SPOILERS BELOW


There are some really cool lore moments in this episode. It's very heavily hinted that Wanda's kids are Wiccan and Speed, her children from the comics. It's also slightly hinted that Wanda is truly Magneto's daughter. One of Magneto's famous trademark moves is turning authorities' guns on themselves thanks to his ability to manipulate metal. Wanda does just this using her telekinetic powers on S.W.O.R.D.'s men after LEAVING the bubble!! Can we acknowledge that??? Wanda just walks out of the bubble and threatens the agents, then walks right back in. It's incredible to see how insane her powers are now.

There's also a hint that Director Hayward may not be who he says he is when Dr. Darcy Lewis begins to describe him and the camera cuts to Hayward saying "terrorist" right before Darcy can fill in her choice of adjective. 

We're also getting some really creepy action with Vision starting to figure out that there is something sinister going on here. I'm looking forward to seeing that plot start to play out in the next couple episodes. 

The biggest moment of this episode though, and the one that is putting my brain in a pretzel is the reveal of Quicksilver at the end of the episode. Not the MCU Quicksilver though....the X-Men Quicksilver. I have no idea how this is going to affect the MCU, but I'm choosing to proceed with cautious optimism.

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...
