With the summer movie season over and the fall movie season beginning, I was thinking a survey was in order. It’s a great way to find out who’s been seeing what (and if anyone’s out there checking my blog posts). Answer this simple question and give me feedback. I’ll try and post more stuff on either a daily or weekly basis.

MarvelChats - Ms. Marvel (1x06)

Image
  It’s the last of the “Ms. Marvel” chats as we look at the finale. We’ll break down the visual look of the episode, as well as the acting and storyline now that the action has been brought back to Jersey City. Plus, we’ll talk not only about the Captain Marvel tease at the end and what it means for next summer’s sequel “The Marvel” but also THAT other surprising revelation.
