Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019)
Don't Pay Attention to the Review-Bombers // Beautiful Representation of Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman Run
Well, here is another case of people being too quick to judge or simply being unnecessarily harsh. Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is a genuinely heart-felt, beautiful, and riveting film, and, just like the Death and Return of Superman, some of the best DC animation in years. Clearly, the mass majority of these individuals never read (or heard of) Greg Rucka's amazing Wonder Woman run. He isn't called the best Wonder Woman writer for no reason. From Villainy Inc to Ferdinand to Veronica Cale to Medusa and the more grounded aspects of Diana's life, this film is absolutely incredible. Not to mention the animation is such a breath of fresh air. I have seen so many reviews complaining that this is another retreading of her origin ... were we watching the same movie? It opens with a very quick, not-even ten minute origin story (modified and included for a reason), if you really have an issue with that then just skip the first ten minutes. I honestly am unsure of what else to say, this movie is good, and you should definitely watch it. Pretty tired of negativity these days to tell the truth. Hope you enjoy it :)
Young Justice: Quiet Conversations (2019)
Perfect Return-to-Form
*phew* Finally! I was starting to become very worried for this show; the past 3-4 episodes have been VERY mediocre. They were boring, had strange pacing and choice of characters, and, most importantly, they didn't really feel like Young Justice episodes. Fortunately, this episode was an incredible return-to-form, and not only felt like the episodes of the first half of season 3, but ran like an earlier season's episode. It was just great. And I'd also like to say that it is so frustrating that a 2-second clip of two men kissing is what people are basing a 24 minute episode's quality on. In what world does that make sense or seem reasonable? Seems like you're frustrated with yourself, not this show.
Black Lightning (2018)
So Average, it's "Bad"
This show has a lot of potential. The leads (particularly Jefferson and his daughters) are all very good actors/actresses. They visibly put a lot into this show. Unfortunately, I believe their efforts are wasted. What is strange about this show is that it feel much different than the other CW superhero shows, set in the "Arrowverse." It feels refreshing. However, the show is simply boring. The pacing is one of the slowest of any show I have ever watched, but unlike other shows with slow pacing, there's never really a pay-off. It's just slow and meandering. I completed the first season out of a dedication to DC, but I could not finish the second. The pacing somehow gets worse, and the storyline, which seems very intriguing, is slowly hinted at with little reveals. I really wish I had the time and effort to continue through so I could see Jennifer progress into a superhero, but I can't help when I'm continuously falling asleep multiple times during an episode.
Doom Patrol: Frances Patrol (2019)
Full-on Tears. Three Times!
Wow...that was almost emotionally draining, but in a good way. This show, while its pacing still needs work, has continuously proven itself, and this episode, somehow managing to make me cry three times, has solidified its place as possibly the best show I have ever seen. This episode was incredibly touching, heartwarming, and simply relatable, despite me not personally relating to nearly any of it. That is truly an accomplishment and something very rarely achieved. "Pandering," or, making content only relatable to certain groups of people is usually what takes place, but this gay relationship of Larry's is relatable to anyone. The actress for Clara, Cliff's daughter, also did an incredible job, although the beautiful music aided. I apologize for somewhat ranting, I just absolutely adore this show.
