Having dished out a lot of glitz and glamour in Episode 3—and presented a lot of confusing character interactions (Character A meets B, C meets D, A runs into D, C speaks with E, who goes back to B, etc.)—Episode 4 of Powers gets gritty, bleak, and direct. Wolfe, who seemed like a supporting character…
With the third episode, Powers gets a little messy—the various character arcs are all contrived to get the players into one of the loud nightclubs that the series seems to love (Calista met Olympia in one in the first episode, Walker ran into Zora in a different one, and in a flashback, we learn that…
At this point, it's probably only a matter of time until every superhero on the books gets their own movie or Netflix series. Some feel we're hitting saturation levels, and that's true to an extent. But, the real issue with “Comic Adaptation Fatigue” isn't that we're necessarily tired of superheroes—we're just tired of seeing the…
Daredevil is the new gold standard in superhero television shows. Hell, it's even better than some of the bloated big-screen films (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Fantastic Four reboot) that are beginning to water down the Marvel universe. Here’s the reason for its achievement: old fashion character development. Show creator Drew Goddard wisely knows that all…
So who is up to no good on Powers? Is it Calista (Olesya Rulin), the runaway who wants to be part of the super-powered community? Is it Zora (Logan Browning), the attractive “Powers Kid” hoping to turn her abilities into celebrity cred? Is it Krispin (Max Fowler), the son of Walker's (Sharlto Copley) dead partner?…
Debuting on Sony's Playstation Network as their first original scripted show, Powers is an odd bird; a lot of labels could be applied to it, but none of them really fit. It was based, loosely, on a comic book series, but it's not a comic book show like The Flash or Supergirl; its protagonists are…
Heroes traveling through time to save the world from destruction! Go! No, not the premiere of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. I’m talking about the finale of the Heroes Reborn miniseries, which aired in the same time slot as DC’s newest superhero show. There has been a lot of hype about…
Not to be outdone by the titans of industry that Marvel Studios has become, DC Comics is set to release two blockbuster films this year, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. While I'll reserve judgment for the Bahstan Ben Affleck Batman for when it actually comes out, the star-studded antihero/supervillain movie, Suicide…
All season, Erica Kravid (Rya Kihlstedt) has been a mustache-twirling, one-dimensional villain convinced that her plan to rescue a chosen few from the End of the World™ is morally justifiable. I’ve gotten used to that. But instead of using the show’s penultimate episode to show how our heroes gather to save the world, Erica’s backstory…
