Entitled Ant-Man Quantumania Writer Cries to the Shill Media
Ant-Man Quantumania Writer Jeff Loveness, rather than own his part in the defacing of yet another Marvel IP, cries on the shoulder of the fake, shill media. Maybe get a few more credits to your name other than "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" before writing Avengers movies? The Captain dispenses a dose of reality to this deluded "scribe."

Correction: "Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh**T" is his other book, which I incorrectly called "No One Wants to..."

The Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere Review - A Boring Side Quest
Disney's last best hope for their ailing Star Wars franchise debuts with a whimper--a bland, boring series of "and then this happened's". Is THIS the way? My full review of Mando Season 3 Episode 1.

Ant-Man & the Wasp Quantumania: A Quantum-Manic CGI Blender -- Review
In Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, the moribund MCU trades a clever small-scale heist hero and Lovecraftian dread for a Jackson Pollock painting of CGI nonsense and painfully unfunny jokes. My review.

Picard Season 3 Episode 2: Title character Picard becomes the main character -- Review
For the first time in the entire Star Trek Picard series, against all odds, in what I would consider Terry Matalas' second qualifying miracle for sainthood, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard takes command of a starship. It only took 3 seasons. My review of Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 2 "Disengage."

One Final Trek - Picard 3 Episode 1 Review
Is it possible to right a wrong so dastardly as Star Trek Picard Seasons 1 and 2? I don't know, but writer and de facto showrunner Terry Matalas gives it one hell of a game attempt. My review of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 1: "The Next Generation."

"End of the Trek" Part 1: Mayhem in Star Trek Picard.
"End of the Trek" is a series of video essays critiquing Star Trek: Picard and nihilism in modern writing.
Far from the heartfelt send-off Jean-Luc Picard deserved, Alex Kurtzman's Star Trek: Picard takes the former captain of the Enterprise on a grim slog through a Game-of-Thrones-style wasteland. In Part 1, I examine the casual use of violence throughout the series as a patch for lazy, cynical writing.
