Well, that's over.
Hodgepodge of standard climactic tropes ploddingly executed.
Guess 05 was a fluke.
On the other hand, I suppose Phase-whatever of the MCU being a war between the forces of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Olivia Colman isn’t a terrible thing but still…
Finally, a good one. Pesky middle bits tripped you up, eh?
The Olivia Coleman cinematic universe: needs to happen. She remains best part of the show.
The only MCU title theme that's gone earworm
While I loved the first 1/3, I can't, at this juncture, figure how they intend to wrap up this story in a satisfying fashion with two episodes to go. Perhaps the plan is to kill everyone on the show one by one and then, when everyone's dead, the show ends?
Thusly, the final episode will be Gravik killing all of the Graviks until there's none left except for himself...
But, in the post-credits sequence, Nick Fury emerges from the pile of Graviks, points his gun at final Gravik and says, "Now go the fuck to sleep." Smash cut to black.
First thing I’ve loved from the MCU since SHE-HULK, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT, and WANDAVISION and the only series from the Disney+ MCU whose cliffhanger has left me pining for next Wednesday.
Olivia Colman is the best and that's that. The MCU doesn't deserve her.
Far prefer this narrative to its namesake comic.
