Let me talk about ‘Miraculous Ladybug’

Natalie Allton | Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Okay. Hear me out. “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir” is a French children’s show about two superheroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir. Every episode, the villainous Hawk Moth “akumatizes” (read: makes a supervillain out of) a poor Parisian having a bad day, with the aim of stealing the Miraculous jewels that give Ladybug and

‘Peacemaker’: Another one from James Gunn

JP Spoonmore | Thursday, February 24, 2022

With DC’s “Extended Universe” (DCEU) dueling against Zach Snyder fans and comic-book accuracy, director James Gunn seems to be a lucrative gift that keeps on giving. His retcon-reboot/sequel of “Suicide Squad” — titled as “The Suicide Squad” to really highlight it as a replacement rather than a follow-up — was a huge success on HBO

‘Invincible’ and not-so-supermen

Christine Hilario | Tuesday, March 30, 2021

It’s every rebellious teen’s worst nightmare to turn into their parents, but for Mark Grayson, the protagonist of “Invincible”, his number one fear is being nothing like his dad. Mark is the son of Omni-Man, the world’s most powerful superhero, and a regular human woman. All his life, Mark has wanted to follow in his

‘WandaVision’ is a hard lesson in fan theories

Aidan O'Malley | Wednesday, March 10, 2021

(Warning: The following article contains spoilers for “WandaVision.” Read Scene’s spoiler-free review here). Watching the season finale to “WandaVision,” I couldn’t help but smile. I just knew it was going to piss people off! I don’t like being this person. I don’t! And chide as I might, you’re allowed to be disappointed. But if my

Marvel breaks its mold with ‘WandaVision’

Dillon Begley | Tuesday, March 9, 2021

When it comes to Marvel and its Cinematic Universe (MCU), we as an audience are always told to expect the unexpected. However, all 23 films released thus far share many things in common. They all follow a similar story arc, are known to be magnificent CGI set pieces and are all presented as two or

Way before ‘Endgame’ : A look back at Marvel’s original ‘Infinity Saga’

Dillon Begley | Wednesday, February 5, 2020

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the comic-book world. Even so, I did not always find myself engaged in reading the actual comic books and graphic-novels themselves. Unlike those who are primarily absorbed in the printed and original comic stories, I have been just as consistently passionate about, and

Visually stunning ‘Legion’ continues to surprise

Nicholas Ottone | Thursday, April 19, 2018

Madness. “Legion,” now airing its second season on FX, is obsessed with the concept of madness. It seeps into the visual aesthetic, structure and sound. “Legion” poses a universe slightly skewed from our own to examine the delicate and easily upset balance between order and chaos. Yet, its most terrifying stretches delve deep into the

“Black Panther” is a provocative achievement

Nicholas Ottone | Thursday, February 22, 2018

Across the current landscape of film, “Black Panther” is unique. Even on the surface, a superhero movie with a majority-black cast set in Africa that demolishes box office records is a rarity. Yet, “Black Panther” exceeds these superficial markers. It is a cinematic event under sky-high expectations that emerges exhilarating, smart and powerful. “Black Panther”
