With all the Marvel Event news still swirling around Twitter and comic book fandom, there was a tantamount excitement approaching last night’s Agents of SHIELD that is rarely present. The announced movie slate for Marvel sounds fantastic (except, you know, without the Four), and hype for Avengers 2 is reaching a fever pitch, with exclusive bonus footage promised at the end of Agents of SHIELD’s seventh episode.

The Latest in Marvel Unlimited: App Updates and Enhanced Discovery
It’s been a minute since I took a look at Marvel Unlimited, and the recent update 2.2 is significant enough that it’s a good time to re-examine.

Agents of Shield Episode 5 (S2) Review! The Doctor Is In
I’m fond of Kyle MacLachlan. I’ll just come right out and say it, whenever I see him little serene bass notes play in my head and I can’t stop shouting “COOOOOOOPPPP” every time he’s on screen.

I’ve been surprised with how much I’ve enjoyed Peter Capaldi’s 12th doctor. This happens with every new incarnation of the Doctor in my lifetime (“he’s wearing tennis shoes and a suit!” and “he looks like a baby with a chin!”), but Capaldi’s announcement seemed to receive extra passionate disapproval. After much speculation about finally changing the Doctor’s gender or race, with such names as Hermoine Granger and Stringer Bell thrown into the ring, at the end of the day the announcement was “Please welcome another old white guy!” Oh.
