theradicalchild: (Native American Goofy)


This Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries is a spinoff of Hawkeye (which I didn’t know until reading the Wikipedia article, and I should have probably watched it first) and follows the deaf Native American Maya Lopez, the eponymous heroine, whom Wilson Fisk, previously featured in Daredevil, pursues. Echo returns to Oklahoma and must reconcile with her past and reconnect with her indigenous roots, family, and community. I wasn't enthralled by this series, given its relative lack of action and higher focus on human (or superhuman) interest. I couldn't easily follow the narrative; it also feels on the woke and DEI side. Overall, I found many other MCU series to be superior.
theradicalchild: (The Wheel of Time)


Rewatched the Amazon Prime television adaptation of Robert Jordan and later Brandon Sanderson's Wheel of Time saga once the second season came out. It's a great alternative to reading the admittedly verbose novels, and is a beautiful series, although some character depictions are a bit off; for instance, the Ogier are way bigger in the books, and Loial is barely bigger than the human characters. The second season mainly focuses on the search for the Horn of Valere, which I remember from the books. I'll continue watching this.
theradicalchild: (The Iron Throne)


I rewatched this so I can ultimately be ready to watch House of the Dragon. Basically a mature-themed fantasy struggle over the Iron Throne, which changes occupants quite a bit throughout the series. I read the books up to the fifth but admittedly couldn't get into them, and watching the show is an excellent alternative to waiting for George R.R. Martin to finish writing the novels.
