X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 2
If I want to catch up to X-Men ’97 before the final episodes, I gotta churn out these posts. So surprise! After months of radio silence, I’m aiming to cover 5 episodes this week! Let’s gooooooo! Dialing it back a bit, the second episode, “Mutant Liberation Begins,” features an adaptation of the trial of Magneto, a real turning point in X-Men comics. So let’s see whether Magneto can really lead the X-Men.

X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 1
I’m not dead! Long story short I’ve started a new job and don’t have as much free time as I used to, and to be honest I didn’t fully gel with Andor as I had hoped. I do have the next 4 episodes of that sitting in my drafts and it will see the light of day, but I just don’t currently have the passion for Star Wars like I do for, say, X-Men. And speaking of X-Men, did you know that Disney+ has a new show called X-Men ’97? It’s a continuation of the X-Men animated series from the…

Madame Web (2024)
What’s this? A non-Star Wars movie, interrupting my watching of Andor? Look, I do watch other movies; if it was all Star Wars all the time I’d probably Order 66 myself. I also managed to see Madame Web in theaters on Valentine’s Day, because why not! This is the latest entry in the Sony Spider-Man Universe (SSMU) featuring Spider-Man adjacent characters. Is the SSMU a real thing or just some fan making an acronym and taking the piss? Does it really matter? The answer is no, it does not. Madame Web is not the best.

Andor – Season 1, Episodes 1-2
With Rogue One covered, it makes sense to jump straight to Andor. This is actually a weird milestone for me, as I haven’t actually seen any of the Disney+ Star Wars shows. I’ve heard good things about Obi-Wan and The Mandalorian and… not as good about The Book of Boba Fett, but I was burned out on the franchise when they debuted so I skipped them. But burnout or not, I’m tackling all these series! And I don’t feel like covering each episode one at a time like I did for most of the Marvel shows I talked about as…

Rogue One (2016)
Okay, I’m feeling refreshed and ready to get back to Star Wars content. Certainly doesn’t hurt that Rogue One–sometimes known as Rogue One; A Star Wars Story which is where the name of 2024: A Star Wars Event came from–is pretty good! It’s the Captain America: The Winter Soldier of the franchise in that it’s more of a spy thriller than the rest of the movies. I summarize it as a very 21st century movie, but lemme actually do the summary before I explain why.
