The Boys Season 4
Butcher is officially no longer a member of The Boys, MM kicked him out and even when Butcher came to help he was not welcomed back. The Starlighters that the crazy Homelander fans tried to frame for murder were freed because of A-Train. Butcher’s brain mass is causing him to hallucinate, MM is going a little hard into being the leader and we will see how far that gets our boys.

House of the Dragon
We are getting ready for season 2 of House of the Dragon, when the dance really starts. But before we do we should probably revisit season 1. Season 1 set up the dance and pretty much nothing else which means the things that come next have already been set in motion. I will be using Fire and Blood to attempt to determine what we might see this season while keeping in line with all the things that the tv show has changed about the characters.

The Boys Season 4, Episode 2
The first episode did kick off the season the right way, and honestly it was a lot less gory than expected. As far as violence goes, the first episode was pretty tame. The first episode actually focused more on the emotional motivations and some of the fallout from the end of last season. All it really did was set up what is expected for the rest of the season. This is your final warning for spoilers, I am literally recapping the episode so if you haven’t watched it yet, please come back later.

The Boys Season 4, Episode 1
We left off with Mauve faking her death and running away, soldier boy being put back on ice and Ryan choosing to be with Homelander. Season 3 is the penultimate season of The Boys and it promises to be more traumatizing then anything we’ve seen yet. Erik Kripke has promised that though Amazon greenlit the show for another season that season 5 will be the last season. For some reason Noir is being played by someone else as the actual Noir was killed by Homelander. So let's see what season 4 has in store for us. This is your spoiler warning, there will be spoilers. This is an episode recap so all of the spoilers that there could be, there will be.

MCU Rewatch
We are into phase 2 for our MCU rewatch and thus we have watched Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World. These are regarded as two of the worst films in the MCU so we are going to talk about them. Are they really that bad? Or was the first impression so terrible that simply no one has gone back to check in the last decade. Well we had to and the overall result is that these movies are, in fact, not great. But why? And how could we have fallen so far from the quality that was phase 1?
