Petition Started To Renew Marvel’s Inhumans

ABC hasn’t made an official cancellation of Marvel’s Inhumans, however the show’s future isn’t looking too promising. But for a handful of Marvel fans, they believe the show deserves a second season.

Marvel fans have launched a petition on Change.org, calling for ABC to renew the show. It’s no doubt inspired by other superhero-related petitions, such as the call for the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League.

The petition writer accepts that Inhumans has problems, but in their view they were more to do with execution. The show was fast-tracked, with the first two episodes shot in just 20 days. What’s more, it was clear Marvel and ABC hadn’t given the series a particularly notable budget for special effects. As the result, even the series’s defenders admit it “lacked the feel of a MCU level show.”

Will they be successful? What do you think?

Once Upon a Time Hints New Character!

ONCE UPON A TIME – ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” stars Mekia Cox as Tiana/Sabine. (ABC/Craig Sjodin)

Once Upon a Time’s, Mekia Cox, who plays the role of Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, confirmed that someone else from the Disney Classic will appear on set.

Cox said: “Episode 12 will be another big Tiana episode. You’ll also get to see a new character, that might be a little love interest for Tiana. And he might be a familiar face from the Princess and the Frog movie.”

While it hasn’t been confirmed that it will be Naveen, it’s pretty obvious that he will be cast for the upcoming spring season.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Cast Have a New Years Balloon Drop Fail

The cast of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. rang in the new year with a celebratory balloon drop… but it didn’t go quite as planned.

Not only is this a fun video, it gives a sense of how far the series has come. When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. launched in 2013, Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson was the star. Now, he essentially shares that position with Chloe Bennet’s Daisy Johnson. Notice that the intro here is shared between the two actors, signifying Bennet’s rise as the series has progressed.

You can check out the video above on the shows official Twitter page.

Season 5 of the show has launched the team on a new cosmic journey, one that has taken them to a dystopian future timeline. They’re stranded on a future in which the Earth was shattered, apparently by the powers of Daisy Johnson herself. The last episode saw Fitz join them in this disastrous future, and his mission is to somehow save both his friends and the world itself.

This season started later than usual which puts the ending right before Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres. Fans continue to speculate that season 5 will tie into the movie.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Jan. 5 with ‘Fun and Games’ on ABC.

REVIEW: Once Upon A Time, Episode 705

Once Upon A Time returns once again, this week with episode 5 of this seventh season, entitled “Greenbacks”, and, as promised, this was totally a Tiana centric episode.

In flashbacks, Tiana and her mother saw themselves forced to sell most of their property, because the kingdom is getting more and more poor. Trying to make a merge and find a love at the same time, the princess from The Princess and the Frog went to see the invidious Dr. Facilier, who continued to sell his lies and play his tricks to get what he wanted, kind of like Rumple’s style. I don’t think it was very hard to guess that “prince” was not going to be the answer to Tiana’s problem. First: because it seemed like a very simple solution; second: the prince seemed too charming; third: Once Upon A Time doesn’t really do love at first sight, and that is kind of what happened, if it wasn’t all a lie of course. Turns out Facilier simply wanted the ruby from Tiana’s neckless and, lucky for him, he got it closer to the episode. It was when Tiana was returning the frog to the so-called Prince Marias, that she realized she doesn’t need a prince nor another hero to go and save her and her kingdom. She can very well do that herself. And so she will.

In present day, after Victoria raised their rent, Sabine decided it was time to make more money, so she came up with the idea to sell her beignet. With Jacinda’s boss out of town, and with no other place to sell, Sabine decided it was a good idea to sell them at Jacinda’s work. The business was really starting to be successful, until Victoria ordered that little shop wrecked, making Jacinda be out of a job. It really was not fair seeing Jacinda storm Sabine with complaints and insults, at least she tried to do something, unlike Jacinda who simply hopes everyday she won’t get fired. Besides, I think everyone knew that was totally not Sabine’s fault, but rather Belfrey’s. I was glad Lucy made her come to her senses, and apologize. Now the two have a new business in a truck, so let’s see how that turns out.

Meanwhile, Rodgers continued the search for his missing girl, and in this episode, we found out her name: Eloise Gardener. During this investigation, he came across a tough guy who wasn’t very helpful, expect for telling him that, if the girl drew that symbol, she must be in danger. Later, we found out the guy, not surprisingly I guess, is working for Victoria Belfrey, and Victoria probably knows who this Eloise is. Maybe it could be woman she has trapped in her tower. I am sure we will find out soon enough, because “Eloise Gardener” is the name of episode 7, so we will probably have some answers by then.

While all this was happening, Roni told Henry it really wasn’t a good idea to trust Ivy, because she usually is bad news. Doing what any mother would to protect her child, she decided to meet with Victoria’s daughter to the place she says her mother is spending a of time: the top of the tower. They obviously didn’t find the kidnapped lady (I guess that would be too simple to take down Victoria), but Roni found something just as curious: a photo of her and Henry, back when her name was Regina Mills, in the fantastic little town of Storybrooke. Roni of course, only recognized herself, but later she discovered the little beside her is Henry. I am really looking forward to seeing this storyline unfold, because I really hope it will end with Roni remembering everything, especially knowing that next week’s episode is her centric.

If you were wondering if Ivy was really trying to help Henry take down her mother, or if she was a double agent figuring out what they are up to, the answer is neither. Ivy seems to be working for herself alongside Victoria’s prisoner. In what I thought was a great twist, we found out that Ivy also remembers everything. I really think she is doing all this to impress her mother. In the end of the day, no matter what she says or what she says, she just wants Tremaine’s approval, and maybe getting close to Henry is a part of her plan.

Overall, this was a good episode with some good twists. It was just a shame we didn’t get to see Weaver, because now that he probably remembers, it would be great seeing him interact with the other characters. But I do understand that there is never enough time to do everything in the same episode, so I really hope we will see him next week. I am giving this episode an 8.4/10.

Next episode will air next week, and it is entitled “Wake Up Call”. Like I already said, it will be a Regina centric episode, and hopefully it really will be her wakeup call for everything that is going on.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Debuts New Characters for New Season

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is back next month for Season 5 and with it some new faces!

In this season, Coulson and the team take on a new setting and new characters on their way to space.

At the end of last season, we saw the crew celebrating after saving the world with the help of Ghost Rider. The celebration didn’t last long, however, as it was interrupted by a mysterious man and an elite squad. Next thing we see, Agent Coulson is aboard a ship, in space.

In this season, we will see new characters such as Deke (Jeff Ward), Tess (Eve Harlow), Flint (Coy Stewart) and Grill (Pruitt Taylor Vince).

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Friday, December 1 with a special two-hour premiere (8:00-10:00 EST) on ABC.

Here’s the first look at the new characters we can expect to see this season.

REVIEW: How to Get Away with Murder, Episode 406

How to Get Away with Murder is once again back, this time with episode 6 of season 4 entitled “Stay Strong Mama”. In it, we finally found out why Jorge Castillo killed Wes.

In a surprising turn, Laurel’s father showed up at Michaela’s new company, and organized a surprise meeting with the main attorneys, Tegan included.  The writers decided to keep us in the dark for a little while longer, and we only found out what he was up to when he and Laurel gathered to have lunch. Jorge is preparing everything to make Antares Technologies go public. When this happens, he will make an amount of money which will be so big that the word “huge” does not begin to cover. When Wes threatened to reveal everything about Annalise, D.A. Denver and Jorge Castillo teamed up to shut him up, and maintain their public imagine, since Laurel would go down with everyone. But of course that knowing it and proving it are two very different things, and Michaela doesn’t seem to be very eager to put Tegan’s job on the line to help her friend.

Like I predicted in my last review, Asher is fully back, and demanding explanations. Unfortunately, Michaela continued lying to him, which led to Asher take matters into his own hands and plant a camera in Laurel’s apartment. By the end of the episode, Asher left Michaela in what was definitely a hard scene to watch. Of course, this is pretty much what Michaela was asking for when she started lying to her boyfriend. Sure they wanted to protect him, but they just made it worse. Also, Asher can totally look after himself, and I am sure he would be more than happy to help them, since this is about Wes.

In the meantime, and like we saw in the end of last episode, Annalise and Connor started a partnership, and a great one as it was expected. Once again, the D.A.’s office went a little bit over the edge, trying to take the home of Claudia’s mother and children, only because she signed the class action lawsuit. The two new partners spent the episode finding a way to force a judge to make the D.A.’s office back up, and fortunately, they succeeded, by making Claudia’s son go on TV and tell everyone what was happening. That was such a great scene: the speech the kid gave was really beautiful, and we even got to see everyone’s reaction while they were watching it. Hopefully this win will make more people want to sign Annalise’s petition, giving her again the number she needs to start actually doing something. Yes, that’s right, because unlike some people said during the episode, Annalise is the perfect person to do this.

While all this is going on, Isaac starts to question his ability to be impartial around Annalise, adding to the fact that, like he said in a previous episode, she might be triggering some dark demons inside him. Like Annalise, Isaac too lost his child. Even though he had the chance to be around her a lot more than Annalise was able to be around her child, that doesn’t make it hurt any less. Hearing Annalise talk about it seems to be awakening his wishes to hurt himself, and his ex-wife says he needs to step out of it. Nevertheless, Isaac continued to be her therapist for the episode, and this is really starting to make more and more progress. I loved that scene in which Annalise says that everyone counts on her, but she can’t please anyone, because she can’t be strong all the time. Of course, she always tries her best, but even the court badass needs to feel vulnerable and weak sometimes, so she can thrive and win on all the other occasions.

In flash forwards, we managed to see a glimpse of Annalise in the shower, washing up blood, which means that, as usual, she is somehow involved in all this craziness that is going be happening. These events are starting to be closer and closer, so eventually all this will make sense.

Overall, and as usual, this was a great episode. I loved most of Annalise’s scenes, and now we finally know the reason why Wes was murdered, putting everyone one step closer to exposing Jorge. I am giving this one an 8.8/10.

Next episode is entitled “Nobody Roots for Goliath” and in it Annalise will gain an unlikely ally for her class action law suit. Keep in mind that this next episode is the last one before the winter finale, so things promise to get heated.
