Movie · on The Fantastic Four: First Steps
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) - Is this the Fantastic Marvel Reboot? - REVIEW
[Source](https://screenrant.com) Last night I finally watch The Fantastic Four First Steps, after going through all the buzz around this movie I gotta say Marvel might have actually pulled off something decent but for me is just not enough, too many details that throw me off. This is attempt number four at bringing these characters to the big screen and while the last few tries were complete disasters this one actually feels like somebody gave a damn about making it work, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards sounds crazy on paper but the dude really delivers even if they barely let him stretch throughout the entire movie which was honestly pretty disappointing, besides making things just too obvious when it comes to science, aside from saying "whats the difference between and egg and Earth" TF you saying??. The whole retro 1960s vibe they went with on Earth 828 works way better than expected, it feels high quality and not trashy different from all the generic MCU stuff we been getting bombarded with lately, plus having the Fantastic Four be the only superheroes in their world makes everything feel more focused instead of the usual cluster of characters everywhere trying to get screen time. The strongest part of the movie for me was how they handled the family aspect between all four characters, it feels like they do care for each other without it feeling forced or fake like most other superhero team movies tend to do, very similar to what we saw on Thunderbolts so drama I think was a strong leg for this movie, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm was a very very solid performance overall since he nailed that cocky but charming personality without being completely annoying about it which is harder to pull off than you might think, also how is not like super intelligent as Richard but the dude try and work out.

The biggest surprise was definitely how they brought Galactus to life on screen, finally we get a proper version of this cosmic threat instead of that cloud garbage from 2007 that nobody talks about anymore because it was so fucking terrible. This version actually looks like the massive world eating entity he should be with incredible scale and design work that makes you feel the size of this cosmic level threat, the only problem I have with this character is how easy they got rid of him, I remember the Fantastic 4 animated series didnt have the most insane villains but Galactus should be at Thanos level on their universe so getting rid of him with a push, idk sounds like too little and low effort. The Silver Surfer being a woman works surprisingly well too, Julia Garner brings this serious herald energy to the character that feels both familiar and fresh at the same time, her whole "I herald his beginning, I herald your end" delivery was absolutely perfect for what they were going for, the Silver Surfer was by far my favorite character specially during the fight scene when they go to Gargantua, yeah Nolan stuff embeded on my brain, they way she literally surf on space was fkn awesome. The movie does a good job of making Galactus feel like this ancient cosmic force rather than just another generic villain, you get the sense that this being has witnessed universes live and die and now its just doing what it needs to survive even if that means destroying entire worlds in the process, but specially how he feels tired of this life and just want to pass the curse into someone else. The Thing looks great throughout the entire movie and you can feel there is a human beneath all that orange rock, the only problem I have with him is the voice, usually its a more intimidating and deep voice but the character does captures both the frustration of being stuck in a rock body and the determination to make the best of his situation an aspect that is a such a classic, you really feel for this guy when his fiance breaks up with him on the street and leaves the engagement ring on the ground because she cant handle what he has become. Sue Storm being pregnant eeee I was not too sure about it becuase it might be use to push certain girl power and sht message but they manage to not make it look like that and bring the family even closer, Vanessa Kirby does great work showing a woman who is tired and dealing with all this cosmic level bullshit while trying to protect her unborn child from forces beyond comprehension, her force field powers get some really creative uses throughout the movie including this scene where she makes her belly translucent so they can see the baby which is sweet but kinda creepy too, so how does she decide just to show the baby without anything else.

The pacing was really nice, nothing during the movie feels rushed or dragged out, they get the origin stuff out of the way quickly in the opening scenes by recreating how the entire transformation happen along with some other scenes before Sue gets pregnant so it was nice they didnt have to mansplein things all over again like nobody knew the characters, Paul Walter Hauser shows up as Mole Man which was apparently not a joke when he mentioned being in the movie during interviews, he doest get some screen time and making him a friend of the Fantastic Four also felt like not every villain on the movie is a bad person. On the movie The Fantastic Four family is love by everyone because they care, participate and solve others people problems world wide, they are seen as leaders but then Galactus ask for Sue baby and she says NO, things get very complicated and I though this would be a bigger deal during the movie, probably getting world leaders against them but they never did and drop the topic very quick, this sets up an interesting contrast for when they eventually cross over into the main MCU universe where superheroes are treated with suspicion and sometimes outright hostility by the common people. The entire visuals of the movie looks very high quality, from everything they use or wear, the suites I thought I wouldnt like but they do look good specially their space suits, the car and all the tech looks very well design, the only thing I didnt like much is how giant screens literally look like CRT monitors, same for the bubble design monitors they have at their HQ with this optimistic retro future vibe that makes you wish more superhero movies would take chances with their visual design instead of everything looking like generic modern day settings.

Even though they fight together against Galactus I feel like they didnt properly show off their powers, the biggest exmple been Reed Richards, this is the least stretchy version we have ever seen on screen and Pedro Pascal does nails the brilliant scientist aspect of the character, even when some things are just too obvious and others completely exaggerated like the transportation of Earth, it feels like a missed opportunity to not have more fun with his abilities. I wish the could have explain more the science stuff behind their plan like they have tried on previous movies, but when your main power is being able to stretch your body into any shape imaginable you should probably use that more than just extending your arm to reach something across the room. Johnny Storm gets plenty of chances to fly around and throw fire which looks great and my only problem with him is how his regular clothe didnt got burn but over all is a very solid character special when you compare him to previous movies how they all failed, Sue Storm has some creative invisibility and force field moments, Ben Grimm is obviously just a walking tank who punches things real hard, but Reed lack action in the powers department even though Pascal brings great parental conflict energy to the role, between whats necessary and what he wants, the decision making aspect that Sue hates so much as he always thinks about what could go wrong but its his job too.

The final battery arrive and honestly it took me by surprise, I try not to watch the timeline on the screen to avoid spoiling things for me, very quick they have to figure out how to deal with Galactus wanting to take Franklin Richards who apparently has these reality altering powers that could replace Galactus as this cosmic force of nature, the whole teleport the Earth to another galaxy solution is exactly the kind of big science fiction concept that feels right for these characters and I do feel like taking Galactus from his ship was a great plan, personally I didnt know how he harvest and accumulate his energy, they do go into details and thats something the audience screams when it comes to super hero movies. Sue Storm gets this great speech about not giving up her child for the world but also not giving up the world for her child which captures the impossible choice they are facing, the fact that they get the entire planet to work together on this plan shows how different Earth 828 is from the world we live in where nobody can agree on anything, makes me think Earth would become hell and there would be riots from both sides if it comes to something like that in the world we live in. The post credits scene with little Franklin talking to someone in a Doctor Doom mask sets up obvious future storylines but for some reasons the version of the movie I watch didnt show the Fantastic Four ship arriving in the main MCU timeline so I have to look it up online, whenever I wait for movies to touch the internet I avoid all kind of spoilers on Youtube although its very hard, overall this feels like a solid 7/10 that actually makes me want to see more of these characters but not because I think this is one of the best MCU movies, so far Thunderbolts (2025) is the best one for this year, I want to see more of the characters to give them a second chance to expand and provide more details about them.

TV · on Ana Rosa Quintana
Ana Rosa, who performed a lobotomy on my grandmother? She survived one of the greatest mistakes in modern medicine / ¿Quién le hizo una lobotomía a mi abuela? Sobrevivió a uno de los mayores errores de la medicina moderna
Welcome 💖 Bienvenidos

Have you ever felt the need to learn about your ancestors? I have, and I have taken it upon myself to delve into their stories and inquire about the fortunate and unfortunate events that marked their lives. Some people feel the need to get to know their relatives when they learn of their existence, as happened to Ana Rosa's granddaughter, who had never been interested in finding out about her and suddenly, while organising her recently deceased father's belongings, found this woman's identity certificate in a drawer. Ana Rosa had been her grandmother, but as she had never heard of her at home, it was as if she did not exist. When she saw her picture, she gave in to her curiosity and decided to learn about her history, which is what my review is about.

Ana Rosa is not a film, it is the presentation of a family investigation in documentary format, in the history and drama genre. Ana Rosa's granddaughter, who is elderly, decided to find relatives who could tell her about her grandmother. She was able to interview a cousin and the last of her uncles still alive, and through him she learned things that surprised her.

She learned that her grandmother was a very intelligent and educated woman who came from a middle-class background. played the piano and also taught the instrument. When her grandfather met her, he fell in love at first sight and, without saying a word and without knowing her name, he asked her to marry him. Apparently, she accepted and they started a family. Her husband was a natural medicine practitioner, creating ointments and medicines from plants.

The most shocking part of Ana Rosa's story was that she underwent a lobotomy. Years ago, I saw this medical procedure in a film and thought it was crazy. Today, it is known as the greatest mistake in modern medicine, but in the 1950s, it was a very popular procedure for mental illnesses, specifically schizophrenia, and the doctor who created this technique, Dr Moniz, received the Nobel Prize in 1949 for his invention.

Spanish Version

¿Has sentido la necesidad de conocer tus ancestros? Yo sí, y me he dado la tarea de indagar en sus historias, y preguntar por los hechos afortunados y tristes que marcaron sus vidas. Algunas personas sienten la necesidad de conocer sus familiares cuando saben de su existencia como le pasó a la nieta de Ana Rosa, quien nunca se había interesado por saber de ella y de repente cuando organizaba las cosas de su padre recién fallecido se encontró en un cajón con el certificado de identidad de esta mujer, Ana Rosa había sido su abuela, pero como nunca escuchó hablar de ella en casa, era como si no existía, al mirar su imagen salió de la insistencia y decidió conocer su historia, sobre esto se trata mi reseña.

Ana Rosa no es una película, es la presentación de una investigación familiar en formato de documental, bajo el género de historia y drama. La nieta de Ana Rosa, que es una persona mayor, decidió encontrar familiares que le hablaran de su abuela. Pudo entrevistar a un primo y al último de sus tíos aún con vida, y a través de él se enteró de cosas que la sorprendieron.

Se enteró de que su Abuela era una mujer muy inteligente y educada, que venía de clase media, tocaba el piano y también se dedicaba a enseñar este instrumento, cuando su abuelo la conoció se enamoró a primera vista y en lo que se le acercó sin mediar palabras y sin saber su nombre, le pidió matrimonio, al parecer ella aceptó y formaron una familia, su esposo se dedicaba a la medicina natural, creando ungüentos y medicamentos a base de plantas.

Lo más impactante de la historia de Ana Rosa fue que estuvo sometida a una lobotomía. Hace años ví en una película este procedimiento médico que me pareció descabellado, hoy en día se le conoce como el mayor error de la medicina moderna, pero en los años de 1950 fue un procedimiento muy popular para las enfermedades mentales específicamente la esquizofrenia y el médico que creó esta técnica el doctor Moniz recibió el Premio Nobel en 1949 por este invento.

Lobotomy is a surgical procedure to disconnect the brain, as I understand it. They inserted a pointed instrument into the frontal lobe of the brain to scrape or cut the nerve connections. As it was somewhat invasive, they improved the technique by inserting the instrument through the eye socket. The end result is to turn a nervous or violent person into a passive person with no reactions. Thankfully, pharmacology advanced and antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine were developed, leading to its elimination.

But even so, Ana Rosa's granddaughter, who was distraught by this news, asked what her grandmother was like before and after the procedure, what the real reason was for her undergoing this treatment, and who made the decision to do it. All these questions were revealed in the documentary, and while researching, I felt her granddaughter's anguish at discovering the truth and perhaps blaming someone for the atrocious act.

Ana Rosa was a victim of a society that was not prepared to listen to women's opinions, to allow them to be open, joyful and free. After her lobotomy, she was unable to play the piano again, and her descendants buried her story as a family secret. For me, the documentary was a tribute to her memory and to all the women who were silenced by the same method. If you are interested in discovering the social changes in relation to mental illness, I recommend watching this documentary. The background music is intense, instrumental and in keeping with the story.

Spanish Version

La lobotomía es un procedimiento quirúrgico para desconectar el cerebro, según lo que entendí. Introducían un instrumento puntiagudo por el lóbulo frontal del cerebro para raspar o cortar las conexiones nerviosas. Como era algo invasivo, mejoraron la técnica introduciendo el instrumento por la órbita del ojo. El resultado final es pasar a una persona nerviosa o violenta, a una persona pasiva, sin reacciones. Gracias a Dios, la farmacología fue avanzando y crearon antipsicóticos como la clorpromazina que llevó a su eliminación.

Pero a todas estas, quienes eran propensos a sufrir una lobotomía, la nieta de Ana Rosa que estaba consternada por esta noticia, preguntó cómo era su abuela antes del procedimiento y después, y cuál fue la verdadera causa de que fuera sometida a este tratamiento, quién tomó la decisión de hacérselo. Todas estas preguntas fueron reveladas en el documental y mientras se investigaba, yo sentía la angustia de su nieta por descubrir la verdad y tal vez culpar a alguien por el atroz hecho.

Ana Rosa fue víctima de una sociedad que no estaba preparada para escuchar la opinión de las mujeres, para que ellas fueran abiertas, alegres y libres. Después de su lobotomía, no pudo volver a tocar el piano, y sus descendientes enterraron su historia como un secreto familiar. Para mí el documental fue un reconocimiento a su memoria y al de todas las mujeres que fueron silenciadas con el mismo método, si te interesa descubrir los cambios sociales frente a las enfermedades mentales te recomiendo ver este documental, la música de fondo es intensa, instrumental y acorde a la historia.

Peacemaker (2022): Back to the Suture - S02E05 - RECAP
[Source](https://techwiser.com/peacemaker-season-2-episode-5-eaglys-primal-eagle-reveal-explained/) Two very good episodes back to back honestly because episode 5 titled "Back to the Suture" threw so many curveballs at us that I need to watch it again just to catch all the details, there is a lot of things that are starting to match the Superman movie, I think thats where Peacemaker is heading but the question is, will he be going back and forward because at least Leota and Adrian are going after him, not sure about ARGUS yet. The episode starts with this funeral flashback showing Rick Flag Junior getting buried three years ago, which happens right around the time Superman came out to the public if Im not mistaken and you can already feel the emotional weight building up as Rick Flag Senior tries to get information from Harcourt about who killed his son. The whole setup at Cooperburg Park where they try to capture Peacemaker was tense as hell and hilarious as fuck, watching him use random people and dogs as human shields while trying to reach Harcourt on that bench and the way John Cena moves through that crowd like a giant trying to be sneaky was both funny and kinda impressive because in fact it did work, Judomaster coudnt take the shot and still when he did hit the agent. Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Senior brings this raw energy to the role, out of all feels more like the movie start action guy idk but there is also the fact that you can feel his pain and anger in every scene, he is not acting goofy as others might, specially when he finally gets his hands on Peacemaker and starts beating the crap out of him in that interrogation room.

[Source](https://tinyurl.com/3p2y8vz4) I know Im going to say its all green grass from here but seeing Peacemaker finally confront the truth about his relationship with Harcourt that did the trick for him to decide moving into a universe where he can be happy with Harcourt but Leota did try to explain him thats not going to solve anything, its a big risk because the poor guy walked into that trap knowing it was a setup just to find out if she had any feelings for him and watching her tell him straight up that there is zero chance for them was brutal to watch aside from knock him out. The whole toxic relationship between this too has been building up all season and you could see his heart break when she said Rick Flag Junior was her only friend and how could she possibly be with the guy who killed him, which makes total sense from her perspective but still hits hard. Then we get this crazy reveal that Sasha Bordeaux is a cyborg with these glowing mechanical parts in her eye and the way they show her targeting system was like something straight out of Terminator so it felt over the top and ridiculous but thats one of the targets of this series so dont take it wrong, although it does add more complexity to her character that I wasnt expecting at all so what could she be able to do in the future with this skills, Im not a comic guy but this is exactly what comics do, let free your imagination. The way Harcourt tackles Peacemaker to save his life from Sashas kill shot shows that despite everything she says, she still cares about him deep down at least as a friend, I feel its more than a friend but she is putting her career first, even if she cant admit it to herself or to him. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/3p2y8vz4) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/3p2y8vz4) The absolute best part of this entire episode was Eagly going full super eagle mode and revealing himself as the PRIME EAGLE!!!, because up until now we thought it was just a running gag about his pet being special but turns out the little guy has legitimate superpowers, he can even gang on the Mf Snt Wild, when he tries to poison Eagly with that rat and then pulls out this massive punt gun to shoot him down, I really thought they were gonna kill off the bird just to mess with Peacemaker, they have him after all so why kill Eagly??, but instead we get this incredible scene where Eagly commands a whole flock of eagles to tear the guy apart. The way they show Eaglys eyes glowing purple and him manifesting that blue fire while the other eagles swarm Red Saint Wild was awesome, like this cute little pet bird just turned into this Alpha Eagle. It would be interesting if during other series he start getting into missions or even show up on some movies because it been all CGI they can go nuts with Eagly and dont need much of an actor or at least some animatronics, idk its just me running my imagination wild again, which makes me wonder what other abilities he has hidden and how this ties into the bigger DCU mythology. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/3p2y8vz4) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/3p2y8vz4) The ending sequence where Peacemaker decides to leave for the alternate universe permanently I saw it coming from a mile away because I expected him to go back and forth a few more times before making that choice, but after Harcourt shuts him down completely that was my confirmation, he just packs up and leaves them a goodbye note, he aleready knows what is on the other side, his brother, father, a Harcourt version that loves him but he was the piece of sht who cheat on her and stuff, well the Peacemaker that Chris killed. Watching Adebayo read that letter while Peacemaker is already flying around with jetpacks fighting kaiju alongside his dad and brother was very cool because this is exactly what I have been asking for years for movies to connect with TV series and go back and forward but idk why it took so long for this to happen, its like the 2020s is when all those ideas finally got green light, idk if it was COVID or what that made big companies realize how much content they were just not producing and yes this kind of connection will fuck up LORE that already exist. Vigilante crying because Peacemaker basically ditched him without even saying goodbye properly that felt sad because the guy really care for him so this also shows how selfish Chris is too but its just human nature been like that, some more than others, specially with heated head. The fact that the kaiju they fight is the exact same one from the Superman movie but in this alternate dimension the Top Trio defeats it instead of Superman and the Justice Gang had me thiking how all this going to play out but then Judomaster follows him through the portal at the last second, which is gonna be interesting because if Im not mistaken it was mention this alternate dimension seems to have only white people in it, so an Asian guy showing up is probably gonna cause some problems. This episode really delivered everywhere you watch with great action sequences, emotional character moments and enough mystery setup to keep me excited for whats coming next, Im so so glad decided to jump into Peacemaker even when Im just starting to watch Season 1 ocationally on my way home on the subway. The way the series balance the humor with the serious emotional side works perfectly, dont get it wrong its still a very over the top exagerated superhero comedy, from Vigilante talking about manta ray facts to Peacemaker getting the shit beaten out of him by Rick Flag Senior and every actor brings something special to their characters, you can tell what are each limitations, now that I think about it this series has a fkn ton of characters to spread the plot but never feels running thin. Im giving this episode a solid 8 out of 10 because it moves the story forward with context and meaningful way while setting up what should be an insane final three episodes and the connection to the Superman movie through that kaiju fight shows how everything in the DCU is starting to come together.

TV · on Alien: Earth
Alien: Earth (2025): The Real Monsters - S01E08 - RECAP
[Source](https://decider.com/2025/09/23/alien-earth-episode-8-recap/) This episode did get a few things right and provide some more context, almost like gloves off, Prodigy Corporation and Boy Kavalier were absolutely the real monsters the entire time and watching Wendy finally team up with her Xenomorph friend to take down these corporate bastards felt so damn satisfying, even when she told Joe "no you are food for them", he was this close to turn Wendy totally against him, its like finally someone made these tech bros pay for their immortality bullshit scam. The whole Peter Pan twist where Kavalier believes hes the hero but actually ends up being Captain Hook was brilliant writing, now about the writing there are some questionable arguments about the franchise that Im sure the internet is running wild with it because this series changes and adds a lot of things specially that relationship human / hybrid / xenomorph. It was brilliant when Wendy calls Boy out for becoming exactly like the abusive father he hated so much, that moment when she tells him he turned into the daddy that he despised hit diferent because you could see how much it destroyed him inside. That Eyeball Creature taking over Arthurs dead body at the end though, now thats some next level creepy stuff, the first thing that came to mind was The Walking Dead, both me and my wife were laughing at it, and I cannot wait to see what kind of chaos that thing brings to season two with all of Arthurs knowledge bouncing around in there, well Im not sure how that works since Arthur was dead? how can he still use his neural system?, imagine having access to all the codes, all the systems on the island, all the techology understanding that Arthur had but now inside this parasitic alien creature, well thats a bit IF though.

[Source](https://tinyurl.com/38s5fpv2h) The plant creature finaly showing its true colors and basically digesting one of those military guys was gross but awesome, like we been waiting all season to see what that thing actually does besides sitting there looking like some weird vegetation and when it opened up those wing like and wrapped around that poor bastard it was satisfying, I was amazed last night how my wife cant watch horror movies but did enjoy Alien Earth, she was all 7 episodes behind and catch up in 2 days so we watch episode 8 together. Another character that really satisfied that need of violence was Nibs, going full Xenomorph mode and riping through people has been building up for episodes and it paid off perfectly here, the way she moved and attacked felt more animal than human which makes perfect sense considering what shes become, its like watching someone embrace their monster side completely without any hesitation or remorse, the series managed to make the hybrids the good guys without it feeling forced, like these kids have ben through hell, died, got brought back as AI copies or whatever they actually are because at this point not even Wendy knows who she is or what she is and she is way smarter than any of us, and still managed to keep more humanity than the actual humans around them who lost theirs completely along the way. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/38s5fpv2h) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/38s5fpv2h) The episode does such a good job building up tension through the whole episode but the truth is that it lack that punch at the end, you can feel something big coming but you dont know exactly what its gonna be until everything starts falling apart for the corporate side, when Boy Kavalier finaly gets slightly beat up its so satisfying because this guy has ben manipulating and hurting these kids all season long. The background story about him killing his father when he was six years old using a synth he built himself was dark but honestly felt a bit exaggerated, at six years build a synth? tf?!, plus the reveal that Adam was probably that first synth was shocking and makes everything even more complicated, only trying to imagine how that hole situation of him growing up alone, idk it just doesnt make much sense. Wendys once again show off her power of controlling technology but it feels like she is limited some how, not sure if its because of her imagination because she is basically the same as Lucy on the movie, how she was able to control the network and anything in it, the way she could manipulate the elevators and camera systems and everything else showed just how powerfull she realy is. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/38s5fpv2h) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/38s5fpv2h) The fight between Morrow and Kirsch was exactly what I wanted to see but it was too damn short, there were things on the episode that happen but needed more screen time, 9 episode was needed so bad, but still watching a cyborg go up against a full synth in hand to hand combat while they told that John Henry story about man versus machine was perfect, even though it didnt last as long as I hoped it was still brutal and showed the difference between someone who still has human parts versus someone who feels no pain at all. Hermit does get some revenge some revenge by the hand of Wendy, after everything hes ben through this season, losing his lung to help create Wendys Xenomorph, yup its hers, dealing with all the betrayals and double crosses, the guy deserved some justice too even though he was not always impartial, during an argument with Wendy it amaze me how she told him "thats what powerless people respond and Im not powerless" that was like damn she is going full super saiyan. The hole lab sequence where we finally see what happens when the specimens escape was chaos in the best possible way, watching that plant creature reveal its true nature while Eyeball Creature made its move with Arthurs body was like the perfect storm of everything going wrong for Prodigy at the same time, Neverland turn into the Zoo and all aliens are running wild now, very Jurassic Park like. Season two is gonna be insane with Weyland Yutani forces coming to the island, two Xenomorphs running around like some twisted family unit at that point the second one would be just as big and the first fully develop and I doubt the eye ball creature going to stay on Arthur body, its not a living and healthy host eventually its going to start decomposing, its like the perfect setup for even more chaos and destruction and its going to be interesting if Yutani can draw the line, Morrow once capture a full grown Xenomorph but it didnt have Wendy guidance, this last episode made me think how fragile this synth and hybrids are, looking back when the fly melted Isaac too and how Kirsch getting all fucked up. Its the ending where all the adults are locked up in cages while the hybrids take control what felt lacking that punch because this time when the music at the end hit I was like NOOO you cant end it like this, its like the patients finaly took over the asylum and now they get to decide whos the real monster, there was Boy Kavalier laughing like the Joker at the end while everything burns around him was the perfect final image for his character but again it was still annoying watching the episode end like that. Dame Sylvia wanted to switch sides and help the hybrids but Wendy put a stop to her when said "you help killing kids" which makes sense because she always thought of them as her children but as Wendy realize, they are not the same children anymore. If you are a LORE guy you probably wont like the series or this episode, it runs wild against many other things form the franchise, its Halo TV Series all over again, I did enjoy season 1 and give it an 8/10 overall.

Review: La Venganza de Analía [ENG/ESP]
🎥 Novel stories, like our reality 🎥

Historias de Novelas, como nuestra realidad

I'm not a fan of romance novels; they stopped appealing to me a long time ago. They always have the same plots: the poor girl who falls in love with the rich guy, the villain who wants to separate them, and so on and so forth. That was until I discovered TV series, which are a little more exciting, with drug lords, mafias, traps, all that intrigue, full of action.

And you may ask, what's different about this one? Well, for me, this novel, which is like a TV series, caught my attention because of its similarity to our reality in terms of corruption, deception, and political intrigue. Does that sound familiar? Keep reading. 👇

No soy fans de las novelas románticas, hace mucho que dejaron de llamarme la atención, siempre las mismas tramas, la chica pobre que se enamora del rico, la villana que quiere separarlos, y así, sucesivamente, hasta que descubrí las teles series, estilo un poco más emocionante, de narcos, mafias, trampas, todo ese enredo, lleno de acción.

Y se preguntarán, y esta ¿qué tiene de diferente?, pues para mí, esta novela estilo serie, me llamo la atención, la semejanza que nuestra realidad, con respecto a la corrupción, la trampa, y los enredos políticos, te suena familiar, sigue leyendo. 👇

La Venganza de Analía (Analía's Revenge) is about a woman named Analía Guerrero who, after discovering details about her past, decides to return to take revenge on the man who hurt her and her mother so badly. Guillermo León Mejía, a corrupt politician who turns out to be her father and a presidential candidate. She decides to deceive him, getting close to him and making him believe that she will help him win the election. It is a struggle between good and evil, power, ambition, and love that cannot be missed.

SPANISH VERSION
La Venganza de Analía, se trata de una mujer Analía Guerrero, que luego de descubrir detalles de su pasado, decidió regresar para vengarse del hombre que tanto daño le hizo, tanto a ella como a su madre; Guillermo León Mejía, un político corrupto, que resulto ser su padre, y candidato a la presidencia, ella decide engañarlo, acercándose a él, haciéndole creer que lo ayudara a ganar las elecciones, es una lucha, entre el bien y el mal, el poder, la ambición, y el amor, que no puede faltar.

This series consists of two seasons, it's from 2020, I discovered it recently, and I started watching it with my mom, since we both like this type of story, with some action, traps, entanglements, murders, and so on; Honestly, this is much more exciting than watching the typical protagonist who lets herself be trampled on and mistreated, the rich girl who turns good, and all those stories that don't make sense and definitely only exist on television.

What's different about Analía? Well, here we see a warrior woman with character, willing to do anything to achieve her goal: to make the man who hurt her so much pay. He's unscrupulous and doesn't care that she's his daughter, but that's not the most appealing part of this plot.

Esta serie consta de dos temporadas, es del 2020, yo la descubrí hace poco, y empecé a verla con mi mamá, ya que a ambas nos gusta este tipo de historias, con algo de acción, trampas, enredos, asesinatos, y así; la verdad esto es mucho más emocionante, que ver a la típica protagonista, que se deja pisotear, y maltratar, la niña rica que se vuelve buena, y todas esas historias que no tienen sentido, y que definitivamente, solo existen en la televisión.

Que tiene de diferente Analía, pues bien, aquí vemos una mujer guerrera, con carácter, dispuesta a todo, con tal de lograr su objetivo, hacerle pagar al hombre que tanto daño le hizo; un inescrupuloso, que no le importo que sea su hija, pero eso no es lo más atractivo de esta trama.

A world full of corruption

As we all know, when it comes to politics, nothing is what it seems, especially when it comes to elections, and even more so presidential elections. Everyone wants power, they want that great throne, to help the people, but the reality is quite different. They only want it to line their pockets, to cheat, to steal, and so many other things, and perhaps deep down, but very deep down, to help.

In this novel series, we will see this and more, as I said, good and evil fighting each other, the good politician who promises to change the world, to do things as they should be done, and, on the other hand, the corrupt politician, with his good-guy face, who everyone believes will bring about change, and they end up supporting him, voting for him. Sounds familiar, right?😒

The voting mafia, as journalists lend themselves to distorting information, the people believe what they want to believe, even if they are shown endless evidence indicating that this is not the case, they continue to fall for tall tales, corruption runs rampant, rigged elections, an unexpected result, or rather, one that was already imagined.

SPANISH VERSION
Un mundo lleno de Corrupción

Como bien sabemos, cuando se habla de política, nada es lo que parece, sobre todo, cuando de elecciones se trata, y más las presidenciales, y es que todos quieren el poder, desean ese gran trono, para ayudar al pueblo, pero la realidad es otra, solo lo quieren para llenarse los bolsillos, hacer trampa, robar, y tantas cosas, y quizás al fondo, pero muy al fondo, ayudar.

Justo en esta serie novela, veremos esto y más, como dije, el bien y el mal, luchando, el político bueno que promete cambiar al mundo, hacer las cosas como deben de ser, y, por otro lado, el corrupto, con su cara de hombre bueno, ese es que todos creen que si les dará el cambio, y terminan apoyándolo, votando por él, les suena familiar, verdad.😒

La mafia de las votaciones, como los periodistas se prestan y tergiversa la información, el pueblo cree lo que quiere creer, así les muestren infinidad de pruebas, que indican que ese no es, de igual manera, siguen cayendo, creyendo cuentos de camino, la corrupción hace de las suyas, unas elecciones preparadas, un resultado inesperado, o mejor dicho, ya imaginado.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, it's a different story, but one that resembles our reality, what we are experiencing, waiting for that change. Maybe it will come, but the question is, when?

This novel, style, series, has hooked me. I'm not saying it's the best compared to others, it has its romantic, annoying parts, ha ha ha, but even so, it's entertaining. If you haven't seen it, give it a chance.

Thanks for reading, see you next time.😄

En conclusión, una historia diferente, que a su vez, se asemeja a nuestra realidad, a lo que vivimos, esperando ese cambio, quizás si llegue, la pregunta es ¿cuándo?.

Esta novela, estilo, serie, me ha enganchado, no digo que sea la mejor, comparada con otras, tiene su parte romántica, fastidiosa, jajaja, aun así, se deja entretener, si no la han visto, puede darle una oportunidad.

Gracias por leerme, nos vemos en la próxima.😄

Chief of War (2025) - My Biggest TV Surprise This Year - SEASON 1 - RECAP
[Source](https://alkhamisa.com/) Chief of War season one just became one of my biggest surprises of the year and I still cant believe how much this Apple TV series caught me off guard. Jason Momoa playing Kaiana in this Hawaiian historical drama about the unification of the islands turned out way better than I expected it to be, specially after watching that season finale that had me hyped up during the the entire episode. The show takes place during the wars between different Hawaiian kingdoms with this prophecy floating around about some king who gonna unite all of them eventually, which sounds cliche as hell but the way they handle it makes it feel interesting although nothing really new, I didnt cover Season 1 because firs I understood this was going to be a mini series but now its not and second because its very very Hawaiian historic to the point I dont want to mess up with history data and get things inaccurate so decided to let it go and just do a Season recap / review. What surprised me most was how this wasnt just another action heavy war series, instead it focused on the people and their relationships and the cultural significance of everything happening around them, which made every single battle scene hit way harder because you actually care about everyone involved in the fighting. Jason Momoa really stepped up his game here playing Kaiana who used to be King Kahikili's chief of war but quit because he couldnt stomach all the pointless bloodshed anymore, the guys performance feels so natural, so raw that you forget he is the same dude who played Aquaman in those DC movies. The show doesnt hold back on showing you how brutal this world really was, these arent your typical sword fights with clean cuts, these warriors use weapons embedded with shark teeth and coral that leave these jagged wounds that made me look away half the time because it was just too damn intense to watch. But what really brought the most satisfaction was watching characters like Kahumanu break through all the patriarchal bullshit of her time to become this political powerhouse, the way she navigated being a woman in leadership while supporting Kamehameha's rise to power was absolutely incredible to see unfold over nine episodes, everything that happen during the series is link up together and she is just an example of the many others who out grow their character.

The battle scenes in this show are unlike anything I have seen on television lately and Im including all those big budget fantasy series when I say that because this felt more real and brutal than most of them but balanced at the same time, almost like you can imagine this happening in real life by real people. When they finally got to that volcanic desert showdown between Kamehameha forces and Keoua army it was just pure chaos in the best possible way, with warriors fighting on actual hot volcanic rock while the earth is literally falling apart beneath their feet and lava is flowing everywhere, this is the only part that I find hard to beleive but Im no expert on Hawaiian history but Im almost certain this is just part of the "show" business. What made it even more insane was watching how organized Kamehameha side was compared to Keoua scattered fighters, you could see the difference between people fighting because they believe in something versus people fighting out of fear and ego which created this interesting contrast throughout the battle. The introduction of guns or red mouthed weapons as they called them added this whole strategic element that wasnt just about who had better weapons but about how they used them, passing rifles down the line so people could reload while others kept firing was genius military tactics, watching them not only shooting the guns but using them as close combat weapons was so sick. OMG and where to start with that whole spiritual rap battle thing before the actual fighting started where both sides were basically trash talking each other while waiting for signs from the gods, it was like watching the most intense staring contest of all time mixed with a wrestling promo that went on forever, but the moment that really got me was when Heke finally got her revenge on that piece of shit Opunui who had assaulted her, watching her use that poisoned hair pin to slowly kill him was brutal but so damn satisfying because she earned that moment after everything she went through, that was pure satisfaction although felt he went down too easy to be honest. The whole sequence where Kahumanu shot him in the leg instead of killing him because she knew it was Heke fight to finish showed this unspoken understanding between women that just pure script glory, writers of this series really understand what the viewers want, you dont need dialogue to know whats happening there and it was beautiful in its own dark way.
[Source](https://screenrant.com) [Source](https://screenrant.com) In Chief of War the fact that most of the dialogue is in Hawaiian with subtitles makes everything feel more authentic and immersive, the intial episodes are full Hawaiian for the most part but then they start mixing it up with english and I think that was intentional to capture the audience, your not listening to actors pretending to be Hawaiian while speaking perfect English the whole time which would have been terrible. Jason Momoa being part of the production team really shows because you can tell this wasnt just another paycheck for him, this was personal and it comes through in every scene hes in and every decision they made about the story. The series goes deep into brotherhood and family, true loyalty, seeing Kaiana and his brothers embrace and show affection without all the toxic masculinity bullshit we usually get in war shows was fkn awesome to watch and felt very natural. Tonys story as a former slave who gets accepted and brotherhood with Kaiana people added this whole layer about found family and belonging that made his character way more than just the sidekick they could have easily made him. The political drama between different kingdoms and chiefs felt complex as it should but never over the top, reasons and motives were easy to understand if you pay attention, you could follow who was allied with who and why they were making certain decisions without needing a damn flowchart to keep track of everything. [Source](https://screenrant.com) [Source](https://screenrant.com) The season finale was something else but the thing is now there is a second season from what i can tell, IMDB still says "Mini Series" but wtf now with King Kahekili, cant leave him hanging, but holy shit that ending sequence for season one changed everything I thought I knew about where this story was heading and what would happen next. Watching Kaiana almost die in that lava flow while fighting Keoua felt like destiny fucking him up because at fist look like he was going to end up taking the worst part, when Kahumanu was screaming his name I felt that panic because he was really gonna die and a bigger WTF moment was when she went back to Kamehameha and he was like ok you got something for him now we all know it, but then when he survived and everyone was cheering for him instead of Kamehameha you could see that jealousy and resentment starting to build, he just let it slide because he is the king although Kaiana is the leader, which sets up what obviously gonna be a huge conflict in season two if we get one. Kupuhi getting injured and Namake saving her while dealing with his own guilt about loving his brothers wife added this emotional complexity even after confronting Kaiana before going to war, they didnt need any dragons or magic for it to feel more epic than most fantasy shows, just people fighting with everything they had for their families and their future which is way more powerful than any supernatural element, well they had a fkn volcano going off too. The cinematography during those volcanic eruption scenes was absolutely stunning although the lighting at the end was not the best but still almost like you could feel the heat coming off the screen and the chaos of trying to fight while the ground is literally melting beneath you and threatening to swallow everyone whole.
Looking back at this entire first season Im shocked at how much this show managed to accomplish in just nine episodes, prove of great writing and drama, building these complex characters and relationships while also delivering some of the most brutal and beautiful battle sequences I have seen on TV lately, what makes it more special that its not your classic western or european story. The cast was absolutely incredible across the board but Jason Momoa really proved he can carry a serious dramatic series when given the right material, Kaiana character felt authentic and emotionally grounded instead of just another action hero role that relies on muscles and charisma, never felt like a Fast and Furious character all pump like a WWE wrestler. Temuera Morrison as King Kahikili felt like a manic as it was intended, playing this psychopath who justifies his brutality by claiming hes fulfilling some divine prophecy when really hes just a power hungry maniac who enjoys hurting people. The women in this show were just as strong and complex as the men, with Kahumanu and Kupuhi and Heke all getting their moments to shine without being reduced to just love interests or victims which happens way too often in these types of shows, I honestly though Heke would be this little sister on the background but damn did they make her character grow just in TWO episodes. The show respected Hawaiian culture and history while still making it easy to digest to audiences who might not know anything about this time period, the subtitles never felt like a barrier once you got used to them after the first episode. The production quality was top notch too, from the costumes made with actual feathers to the weapons that looked like they could actually fuck someone up in a fight instead of those fake plastic props you see everywhere, even with 9 episodes they did something epic, if I had to compare the quality I have to say Shogun (2026), big budget series like House of The Dragon should take notes. This show deserves way more attention than its probably gonna get because its doing something different in the historical drama space, Im giving Chief of War season one a solid 8 out of 10 because it surprised me in all the best ways and left me wanting more, which is exactly what a good first season should do and I really hope Apple gives it another season.

🎬 Movie Review: Jane Austen wrecked my life [ES/EN]
_{Cover made in Canva. Image}

¡Hola amigos! Espero que estén teniendo una agradable semana. Hoy me paso por acá para compartirles una película francesa que vi hace poco llamada Jane Austen arruinó mi vida y acá les traigo mi reseña.

Hello, friends! I hope you are having a pleasant week. Today I am stopping by to share with you a French film I saw recently called Jane Austen wrecked my life, and here is my review.

Trama - Plot

_Source

En esta película conoceremos la vida de Agathe, una francesa que trabaja en una librería y es fan de los libros de Jane Austen. Tanto así que sueña con un romance como el que transmiten sus historias. También tiene el sueño de escribir una gran historia de amor pero está atravesando un bloqueo creativo, es por ello que con la ayuda de su mejor amigo es aceptada en la residencia para escritores de Jane Austen. Así que tendrá que viajar a Londres para ir a cumplir sus sueños y quizá encuentre mucho más que inspiración allí.

In this film, we learn about the life of Agathe, a French woman who works in a bookstore and is a fan of Jane Austen's books. So much so that she dreams of a romance like the ones in her stories. She also dreams of writing a great love story but is experiencing writer's block, which is why, with the help of her best friend, she is accepted into the Jane Austen writers' residence. So she will have to travel to London to fulfill her dreams and perhaps find much more than inspiration there.

Reseña - Review

Es una película de esas al mejor estilo francés, a mí me llamó mucho la atención porque amo los libros y, por supuesto, leí casi todos los de Jane Austen así que me intrigaba la premisa de una joven que idealiza encontrar un gran amor y perderse en una buena historia. Me sentí identificada y creo que cumplió lo que prometió. Quizá es bastante tranquila, en el sentido de que no pasan muchas cosas en la película. No profundiza mucho en nada, ni en el trauma de la protagonista con respecto al accidente de sus padres, ni en su bloqueo creativo, aunque se da a entender por dónde viene la mano. Lo que sí nos encontraremos es con una especie de triángulo amoroso que me hizo dudar hasta a mí. Al principio era de un team y luego me pasé al otro porque se notaba mucha más química y que era más real. Aunque si quieren saber qué es lo que pasa van a tener que verla.

It's one of those films in the best French style. It really caught my attention because I love books and, of course, I've read almost all of Jane Austen's novels, so I was intrigued by the premise of a young woman who idealizes finding true love and losing herself in a good story. I identified with it and I think it delivered what it promised. Perhaps it is quite calm, in the sense that not much happens in the film. It does not delve deeply into anything, neither the protagonist's trauma regarding her parents' accident nor her creative block, although it is implied where it is coming from. What we do find is a kind of love triangle that even made me doubt myself. At first, I was on one team, and then I switched to the other because there was much more chemistry and it felt more real. But if you want to know what happens, you'll have to watch it.

La verdad es que me gustó mucho la historia. Es sencilla y bonita de ver, sin demasiadas complicaciones en el camino. Además me resultó bastante graciosa por momentos y eso sumó puntos. No sé si la catalogaría como un romcom, pero pienso que se acerca bastante. También me gustaron varios de los personajes, y el acento francés es una cosa maravillosa, sobre todo cuando no estás acostumbrado a escucharlo. La película me resultó muy al estilo de Jane Austen, por lo que le hizo justicia en ese sentido. Que creo que era el cometido y el final me pareció un poco abrupto, pero siento que fue el ideal para lo que se transmitió en toda la película. Aunque a mi lado más romántico le hubiera gustado tener otro tipo de cierre, igual bancamos.

The truth is that I really liked the story. It's simple and nice to watch, without too many complications along the way. I also found it quite funny at times, which added to its appeal. I don't know if I would classify it as a romcom, but I think it comes pretty close. I also liked several of the characters, and the French accent is a wonderful thing, especially when you're not used to hearing it. I found the film very Jane Austen-esque, so it did justice to her in that sense. I think that was the intention, and although I found the ending a little abrupt, I feel it was ideal for what was conveyed throughout the film. Although my romantic side would have liked a different kind of ending, we still enjoyed it.

También me pareció interesante pensar en los bloqueos creativos como parte de los bloqueos emocionales, siento que si resuelves uno, quizá resuelvas todos y eso tiene sentido. Cuando empiezas a encauzar tu vida, todo parece cooperar para darte estabilidad y soluciones. Me gustó que al final la protagonista haya logrado desbloquearse en todos los sentidos y nos da ese mensaje de que no tenemos que negarnos a los cambios en nuestra vida por los miedos porque nos podemos estar perdiendo de algo bueno.

I also found it interesting to think of creative blocks as part of emotional blocks. I feel that if you solve one, you might solve them all, and that makes sense. When you start to get your life on track, everything seems to cooperate to give you stability and solutions. I liked that in the end, the protagonist managed to unblock herself in every way and gives us the message that we don't have to refuse change in our lives because of fear, because we may be missing out on something good.

En definitiva, es una película muy linda que les recomiendo si quieren algo ligero y reflexivo sin ser demasiado invasivo. La verdad es que disfruté mucho de verla y espero que ustedes también lo hagan si deciden darle una oportunidad.

In short, it's a very nice film that I recommend if you want something light and thoughtful without being too invasive. I really enjoyed watching it and I hope you will too if you decide to give it a chance.

Peacemaker (2022): Need I Say Door - S02E04 - RECAP
[Source](https://techwiser.com/peacemaker-season-2-red-st-wilds-powers-explained/) Need I Say Door, Episode 4 dump some data about Chris past that I didnt know about, probably stuff from season 1 but I think I have an idea of where this is leading to and how its going to connect with the current DCEU. The opening scene with young Chris and that alien thing getting killed by his dad was brutal as hell for a kid that young and I appreciate getting some backstory on how Auggie got his hands on that quantum portal thing, I always thought it was him who invented, we are four episodes in and now it feels like the series is starting to finally lift off the ground, this episode really make the first one look stupid with the drug abuse and orgy, totally necessary and this episodes feels more like the route they should have taken in the first place instead of trying to play the fucked up depress Chris, not sure why writers thought it would be a good start for the season. The whole vibe at start of the season felt scattered, like everyone's doing their own thing instead of working together but for sure this episode felt way better. Auggie never actually invented any of that high tech crap I thought he did, turns out he just murdered some poor alien dude and stole his stuff, which honestly makes way more sense because there is no way that racist asshole could have built something that advanced on his own, Im sure he probably went into other worlds too and start stealing tech.

[Source](https://tinyurl.com/mphvcmcc) John Economos was definitely the best part of this whole episode, no question about it, the guy is loyal to the core, watching him try to send Chris that gibberish warning text while sitting in the back of that van was kinda funny while they were throwing sht at each other and then him saving Eagley from that psycho Wild was perfect, the Supreme Eagle that would like bs ends up been real. The guy is proving to be a real friend while Harcourt is out here making deals with Rick Flag Senior behind Chris back, which honestly hurt to watch and I wouldnt blame Chris for wanting to go life in another dimension where he get some love back. Steve Agee just brings this genuine warmth to Economos that makes you root for him even when he's being weird, and his whole backstory about hacking the CIA at 14 explains why he's so socially awkward. The dude never had a normal childhood, got recruited straight into spy work as a kid, so of course he's going to be messed up. When he spits right in Flurry's face after all that arguing in the van, I was cheering, because Flurry had it coming after being such a dick this whole time. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mphvcmcc) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mphvcmcc) Speaking of St. Wild, this dude has completely lost his mind over Eagley and now apparently he has some kind of powers too, what the fuck is that about, where does this powers come from, is he like a Shaman or something? if superhero theme series were already fantasy this is way crazy so you just have to let it flow and dont think too hard about it. Michael Rooker is having way too much fun with this character, doing that whole cultural appropriation thing where he is mixing up different Native American traditions to justify his eagle obsession but then the show goes and validates his crazy ass by giving him actual mystical abilities. The whole astral projection thing at the end was wild, drawing that eagle symbol with his own blood and then being able to track Eagley's location through some spiritual third eye bullshit, reminds me an animated series from the 90s with a Native Sherif who had similar powers but cant remember its name. It's funny but also kind of problematic that the show is saying his appropriation actually works, though I guess they're setting it up so it backfires on him later, at least I hope so. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mphvcmcc) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mphvcmcc) The hole time they went after Chris and Eagly, from the moment they go into Chris house that made the entire episode and even the entire ARGUS team look more as a unit and way more hilarious too, this was really satisfying because normally you dont have both on the same scene, how they all keep this awkward but funny conversation on the way to Chris house between Bordeaux, Fleury and Economos calling themself names, even Judomaster was funny and less annoying, I honestly hat that character every time comes to screen but didnt this time. Taking about Judomaster I just love the way Chris crush him while they were running after him, that scene where they go rolling down that hill and landing on top of him was pretty funny though, classic Chris using his bulk as a weapon.
As I mention above my biggest issue though is how scattered everyone feels at the beginning of this season. Adebayo and Adrian are basically just hanging around doing nothing important and that really sucks because Danielle Brooks deserves way better material than talking about Pro Soldier magazines and her wife drama that goes nowhere, that is like two espidoes behind and they havent even mention it anymore. Her whole security consulting business subplot feels like filler, especially when we find out the magazine is a total scam with only 12 readers who are probably, it was a bit funny but I think they just killed that security consulting business right there. Chris obsessing over this other dimension is interesting but it feels like a one trick situation because if they want to connect the series to the new DECU of James Gunn they actually can made up a story that matches with the actual situation from the movies and TV series, just like in the MCU another dimension, it might move slow if they dont just rush the entire transition but other dimension subplots are always intriguing but need to pay off. It does look like the series is putting back the team together and there still left four more episodes, well I havent seen episode 5 yet but it does look like the series has enough time to turn things around and make the series fell more even and fun as this episode was. Rick Flag Senior manipulating Harcourt into betraying Chris is predictable but well executed, you can see how desperate she is to get her career back after being blacklisted by Amanda Waller, but it sucks she was willing to turn in Chris. #skiptvads, #inleo, #hive, #peacemaker, #johneconomos, #chrissmith, #harcourt, #rickflag, #redsaintwild, #eagley, #judomaster, #adebayo, #adrian, #vigilante, #quantum, #portal, #alien, #betrayal, #argus, #gunn, #superhero, #dceu, #comedy, #action, #friendship, #loyalty, #supernatural, #cliffhanger

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (2025): Pawns & Kings - S01E06 - RECAP
[Source](https://tinyurl.com/mvv8ztu8) Episode 6 of Dark Wolf, which they called "Pawns & Kings," basically confirmed what we all suspected, that everyone has been getting played hard but damn, not in the way I expected it to go. The whole thing with Ben Edwards and his crew thinking they were delivering fake bearings to the Iranians only to find out they were real ones all along, that was some next level manipulation stuff right there. What really got me was how Hastings was the only one smart enough to see through all the bs from the beginning, questioning everything while Edwards was too caught up in the freedom of CIA work to think straight and can we talk about that scene where they straight up murdered everyone on that private jet, including Yousef? Like damn, that was cold blooded even for this show. The reveal that Cyrus is actually the Shepherd and has been working with Haverford this whole time, you could see that twist coming from a mile away but it still felt different when Varon finally shows them the footage, now these guys are branded as rogue agents with nowhere to run and a death warrant basically hanging over their heads. But then how Haverford painted them as the traitors when he was the one orchestrating this nuclear weapon mess from the start, all under some twisted plan to create trust between Iran and the US by giving them the ability to make nukes but hoping they would not actually use them or either put a halt to building them in the first place. That logic is so backwards but here we are heading into the finale with Edwards and crew having to prove their innocence while staying off the grid. The bearings switch was probably the most confusing shit I have seen in a while, there were fake ones, real ones, fake fake ones, which set everyone thought they had at any given time, but what matters is that the Iranians got the real deal and that means they can build nuclear weapons now, thanks to Haverford and his master plan that makes zero sense when you think about it for more than five seconds.

[Source](https://tinyurl.com/mvv8ztu8) Hastings walking away from the mission was probably the smartest thing anyone did in this entire season, that dude saw the writing on the wall and tried to get Edwards to come with him before everything went to hell. The whole conversation between them on the boat was some emotional drama because you can see Hastings knows this is all wrong but Edwards is too stubborn to listen, he is so caught up in the action and the adrenaline that he cannot see how badly they are being manipulated by everyone around them. When Hastings tells him that some men go to war to fight the enemy but others seek war to fight themselves, that line hit hard because it shows how well he understands Edwards and what drives him, even if Edwards refuses to acknowledge it. The fact that Hastings still shows up to provide sniper cover during the exchange proves he might have walked away but he was not going to let his friends die, even though they made the wrong choice. Landry being included in the mission despite getting caught sexually harassing Varon was weird as hell, like Edwards just brushes that off because "patriotism erases every flaw" which is such bullshit and shows how screwed up his priorities have become at this point in the story. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mvv8ztu8) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mvv8ztu8) Varon refusing to follow orders and doing her own investigation was the only reason they figured out what was really going on, if she had just waited for extraction like her handler wanted then Edwards and his team would have delivered those bearings and never known they had been played. Her tracking down Haverford and getting those surveillance photos of him with Cyrus came in on time right at the edge, without that evidence they would have been completely in the dark about who the real Shepherd was and how deep the betrayal went, I would like to mention that I get how part of the audience can get trigger by some of this hacking stunts because they have no context they just happen, off the sudden pictures land in Edwards chat just in time. The whole scene where she is hacking into that laptop while her handler keeps telling her to drop it and come home shows how little trust there is between different agencies, even when they are supposed to be working together on the same mission. It makes you wonder if her handler was also compromised or just following orders from people who did not want the truth to come out, either way it shows how isolated these field operatives really are when push comes to shove. The fact that she ends up joining Edwards team at the end suggests she knows they are the only ones who can be trusted at this point, even though they are all wanted fugitives now. [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mvv8ztu8) [Source](https://tinyurl.com/mvv8ztu8) The exchange scene at the airfield was intense as hell even though you knew something was going to go wrong, watching Edwards, Landry and Farooq walk into that hangar knowing they were outnumbered ten to three was exciting. The Iranians testing the bearings with that centrifuge thing was smart, it shows they were not just going to take anyones word that the bearings were real, they had the equipment to verify it themselves, I was not expecting that since for the most part nobody verified sht before, not even Farooq when he bought the first set. When the bearings passed the test and everyone realized they were authentic, you could see the panic on Edwards face because he knew they had just helped Iran get one step closer to building nuclear weapons, the exact opposite of what they thought they were doing. Yousef making that comment about Edwards should have asked for more money to betray his country was such a gut punch because it showed how the Iranians saw this whole transaction, they thought Edwards was just a mercenary selling out his own people for cash. The fact that Edwards let that slide instead of shooting the guy right there shows how much self control he still had, even though that was about to change real quick when they got Varon's photos.
The assault on the private jet was absolutely brutal and showed how far Edwards has fallen from the principled soldier he used to be, him cutting off Yousef's hand to get the bearings while the guy was still alive was some seriously dark shit that made me uncomfortable to watch but damn I repeat that entire private jet scene like five times when he gets that Machine Gun and starts rippnig on them. The way they just mowed down everyone on that plane without giving them a chance to surrender or fight back was execution level violence, not combat and it shows how Edwards has completely embraced the darker side of his nature, true to the name of the series "Dark Wolf". Hastings watching from a distance with his sniper rifle but not interfering was probably the smartest move he could make to stay clean out of this, he was there in case his friends needed backup but he was not going to be part of the massacre they decided to carry out. The fact that Yousef managed to call Cyrus while he was dying and let him hear the whole thing was probably intentional on Edwards part, he wanted the people who betrayed them to know that their plan had failed and that there would be consequences but thats just me letting my imagination fly away. Finding Havfords letter painting them all as rogue agents when they got back to the boat was the perfect ending to the episode, it shows how thoroughly they have been set up to take the fall for everything that went wrong, he got everything plan out perfectly from the begining using them as escape goats, this is honeslty the best episode of the season. I know this is the kind of action series where you have to leave your brain at the door because if you start getting too technical you just wont enjoy it so take it for what it is, a good entertaining action series although not Oscar worthy.

Movie · on Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
Mission Impossible: Final Judgement - Sentencia final | Review and Opinion
Welcome 💖 Bienvenidos

As I am forgetful, I cannot say for sure whether I have seen all the films in the Mission Impossible franchise. I may have seen more than four of the eight films that make up the entire story, and most likely at random. What I am sure of is that every time I watch one, my body is filled with adrenaline and excitement from the action-packed and suspenseful scenes.

Mission Impossible has always had one leading man, actor Tom Cruise, who despite being 63 years old still looks handsome and charming and remains a very attractive and sexy man. I have been in love with him since I was a little girl, and he has been my ideal type of man, a utopia that hurts me in real life. 🥲😆😁.

Regarding the film, there were rumours that Fallout was the farewell to the franchise or its protagonist, as it has many risky scenes such as fights to fly an aeroplane, and Tom is no longer able to do this type of scene, although I thought he did very well and I would have no problem with him continuing to be the protagonist.

As for those action and stunt scenes, I often doubted that they were real. I even thought they might have been the product of some artificial intelligence, as they exaggerated Ethan Hunt's (Tom Cruise) abilities to the point of making them seem like impossible superpowers. For example, there is a scene of immersion in ice-cold water at a depth that only submarines can reach, and Ethan Hunt swims like a fish in water without any oxygen equipment, even without a shirt. As interesting as this part of the film was, it was very exaggerated for me, as a film buff, and I felt it was walking a very fine line between good and bad.

Spanish Version

Como soy olvidadiza, no puedo asegurar si he visto todas las películas de la franquicia de Misión imposible. Es posible que haya visto más de cuatro de las ocho películas que conforman toda la historia y lo más seguro es que haya sido de forma aleatoria. De lo que estoy segura es que cada vez que veo una, mi cuerpo se llena de adrenalina y emoción por las escenas llenas de acción y suspenso.

Misión imposible siempre ha tenido un protagonista, el actor Tom Cruise, que a pesar de sus 63 años no deja de verse guapo y encantador, sigue siendo un hombre muy atractivo y sexi. Desde pequeña he estado enamorada de él, y ha sido mi prototipo masculino de preferencia, utopía que me hace daño en la vida real. 🥲😆😁.

Sobre la película, se rumoreó que Sentencia Final era la despedida de la franquicia o de su protagonista, ya que tiene muchas escenas de riesgo como luchas para pilotar un aeroplano, y Tom ya no está para hacer este tipo de escenas aunque yo lo vi muy bien y no tendría problemas en que continuará siendo el protagonista.

En cuánto a las esas escenas de acción y riesgo dudé muchas veces en que fueran reales, llegué a pensar que habían sido producto de alguna inteligencia artificial, ya que exageraron muchísimo convirtiendo las habilidades de Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) en superpoderes imposibles de realizar, por ejemplo hay una escena de inmersión en agua helada a una profundidad en donde solo pueden llegar los submarinos y Ethan Hunt nada como pez en el agua sin ningún equipo de oxígeno, incluso hasta sin camisa, por más interesante que estuvo esta parte de la película fue algo muy exagerado para mí como cinéfila sentí que estuvo entre una línea muy delgada de bueno a malo.

Plot

If you haven't seen any of these films, let me give you some context: Mission Impossible is a series about spies who carry out missions that are, as the name suggests, impossible. It is a battle between good and evil, although it is often unclear which side the spies who make up Ethan Hunt's team, the leader, are on. For me, they are the good guys, but the characters themselves follow instructions without knowing if what they are doing is right or wrong, as they only obey, but presume they are doing the best they can. In all the films, an important member always dies, but they accomplish the mission, leaving a sentimental sequel among the team members.

Opinion

One of the things I like most about the latest films is that they kept the same characters, and that their friendship and loyalty to each other remains unchanged. They trust their lives to their comrades, which is so beautiful that I would like to think that this is how it is in reality.

In Fallout, apart from the impressive action scenes, there were things I liked, such as the introduction of artificial intelligence called the Entity, which is the negative or dark force they face because it wants to take over humanity. Apart from this, I also liked that there was a leadership shift between Ethan Hunt and one of his team members, which made me think that perhaps actor Tom Cruise will not continue, but the Mission Impossible film will, and its ending confirms this hypothesis.

Final verdict: like the previous films, it keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat, but leaves room to calm the palpitations, and in the dialogue you will find a little humour, pain from the loss of a friend, and lots of action. The only thing missing in this instalment was romantic love. On this occasion, Ethan Hunt had a deep friendship with one of his colleagues, but nothing in the scenes implied romance, and that was an important element that I felt was missing.

This film, like all the others, is very good, faithful to the action, thriller, espionage and adventure genre, and I recommend it. In fact, it made me want to watch them all, from the first to the last, back to back. I give it a score of 9, as some scenes exceed human reality.

Spanish Version

Argumento

Si no has visto ninguna de estas películas, te pongo en contexto: Misión imposible es una saga sobre espías que hacen misiones como su nombre lo indica imposibles. Es una lucha del bien contra el mal, aunque muchas veces no se sabe de qué lado están los espías que conforman el equipo de Ethan Hunt el líder, para mí ellos son los buenos, pero los mismos personajes siguen instrucciones sin saber si lo que están haciendo está bien o mal, ya que solo obedecen, pero presumen que están haciendo lo mejor. En todas las películas siempre fallece un miembro importante, pero logran la misión, dejando una que otra secuela sentimental entre los miembros del equipo.

Opinión

Una de las cosas que más me agrada de las últimas películas es que mantuvieron los mismos personajes, y que entre ellos la amistad y su fidelidad no cambia, confían su vida a su compañero y es algo tan lindo que me gustaría pensar que así en la realidad.

En Sentencia Final, aparte de las escenas de acción impactantes hubo cosas que me gustaron como la introducción de la inteligencia artificial que fue llamada la Entidad y es la fuerza negativa u oscura a la que se enfrentan porque se quiere apoderar de la humanidad, aparte de esto también me gustó que hubo un movimiento de liderazgo entre Ethan Hunt y uno de sus miembros de equipo, lo que me hizo pensar que tal vez el actor Tom Cruise no siga pero la película de misión imposible sí, y su final me confirma esta hipótesis.

Sentencia Final como las otras películas anteriores, mantiene al espectador con los nervios de punta, pero deja espacio para calmar las palpitaciones y en sus diálogos encontrarás un poco de humor, dolor por la pérdida de algún amigo y mucha acción, lo único que faltó en esta propuesta fue el amor de pareja, en esta ocasión Ethan Hunt más bien tuvo una amistad profunda con una de sus compañeras, pero nada que en las escenas implica romance y eso fue un elemento importante que me hizo falta.

Esta película como todas las demás es muy buena, fiel al género de acción, thriller, espionaje y aventura y la recomiendo. De hecho me dieron ganas de verlas todas desde la primera hasta la última de forma consecutiva. Le doy un 9 de puntuación ya que algunas escenas exceden la realidad humana.

Alien: Earth (2025): Emergence - S01E07 - RECAP
[Source](https://screenrant.com) Alien Earth, Episode 7, this is probably the most intense episode the series has delivered so far this season, things got really messy really fast and also makes me worried about where this franchise is headed even though I thought this specific episode was pretty solid overall. The whole Wendy character development has been the highlight of the show for me since day one and this episode really pushed her relationship with the Xenomorph to some crazy new levels that honestly made me both excited and concerned at the same time, like watching her command that thing was interresting but also a bit scary and inpredictable because you know its probably not going to end well for anyone involved. Episode 7 titled Emergence came up with new threats emerging from every direction, we got Arthur finally having his chest burster moment which was brutal as hell to watch just the same across the franchise with every single victim, Utani forces invading Neverland like some kind of military operation and this new terrestrial Xenomorph variant that looks very if not completely different from anything we have seen in the previous movies with its brownish color instead of the classic black. The pacing felt really good too, not too rushed but never boring either, they managed to pack so much content into this episode without it feeling overwhelming or confusing since some episodes this season have felt a bit slow or draggy in certain parts.

Arthur getting killed by the chest burster was probably one of the most heartbreaking moments of the entire series because he was literally the only adult who actually cared about these kids and treated them like real people instead of just experiments or tools to be used, watching him die right after he tried to be understanding with Slightly and Smee just made it feel worse. Arthur basically becomes a martyr, a victim and it felt earned and tragic but not manipulative or cheap, you could see it coming from a mile away but that didnt make it any less impactful when it finally happened because we had grown to care about him so much over the previous episodes. Slightly and Smee carrying his body around was hilarious and very sad since they literally dont know any better, these kids have no idea what they are doing and they are in way over their heads trying to deal with adult problems that no one should have to handle especially not children in synthetic bodies, I only wonder what would Wendy do if she was on the same position, she would probably junt down Morrow. The fact that Slightly still believed Arthur would be okay even after the face hugger attached itself to him just shows how naive and innocent these hybrids still are despite having super computers as brains, they might have adult bodies but they are still just scared kids trying to survive in a world that doesnt want them, seems the same for most synthetics during the franchise, similar to recent movie Alien Romulus.
[Source](https://www.hulu.com/series/alien-earth-ac314a24-c615-48ee-8e24-b26de75e64ef) [Source](https://www.hulu.com/series/alien-earth-ac314a24-c615-48ee-8e24-b26de75e64ef) Wendy commanding the Xenomorph felt so so unpredictable like it could snap at any moment and attack them, the way she just chitters at it and the creature immediately responds by slamming its head against the glass was incredible but also really unsettling because you realize she isnt just communicating with these things anymore, shes actually controlling them like some kind of Alien queen, she even think she finally understanding and talking back to them, the moment she says its kinda hard to find the right words. Her whole relationship with Joe started falling apart this episode too which was really sad to watch because their sibling bond has been one of the strongest emotional ties during the series but never felt rock solid almost like she felt ok with it once he was next to her, but I can understand why hes getting scared of what she is becoming especially after she unleashed that Xenomorph on all those scientists and guards. The graveyard scene where they found their own graves was probably the most philosophical moment the show so far because thats something Joe has been trying to push for the kids to remember who they were and their names, seeing Joe break down at Marcs tombstone while Wendy insists that Marcy is still alive inside her synthetic body was a strong moment and really made you think about what it means to be human or alive in the first place. Nibs reaction to seeing her own grave and realizing shes not really the same person anymore was equally confusing and very sad like she felt lost, that poor kid has been losing pieces of herself ever since her memory wipe and now she knows for sure that the real Rose Ellis is dead and buried in the ground, I thought Wendy could do something about her memory using her special powers like data dump into Nibs "mind". [Source](https://www.hulu.com/series/alien-earth-ac314a24-c615-48ee-8e24-b26de75e64ef) [Source](https://www.hulu.com/series/alien-earth-ac314a24-c615-48ee-8e24-b26de75e64ef) Boy Kavalier continues to be the most frustrating character on the entire show because he just keeps making terrible decisions that put everyone in danger while acting like hes some kind of genius although he is use to take huge risks when making break throughs but this time it seems like he is not meassuring well who is dealing with, both the T Ocelus and the Xenomorph could easily take them down in a sec , so watching him get completely fascinated by the eyeball creature while his entire facility is falling apart around him was the perfect fit for his character, its always like each incident on the lab means nothing for him as he learns more about this Aliens despite the cost. The way he wants to put that thing inside a human host just so he can have a conversation with something smarter than himself shows how selfish and shortsighted he really is, hes willing to sacrifice other peoples lives just to satisfy his own curiosity and need for intellectual stimulation. Kirsh helping Slightly and Smee escape with Arthur body was hilarious af because it confirmed that hes been playing his own game this whole time, Timothy Olyphant has been brilliant during the entire season, Kirsh not just following orders from Boy Kavalier or being a loyal synthetic, hes actively manipulating events to achieve his own goals whatever those might be, because its not so clear what he wants, he might even be an infiltrated or just want to be free?. He was basically using the kids as bait to trap Morrow and capture another Xenomorph was clever but also really cold and calculating, it shows that even the characters we thought we could trust are ultimately just using everyone else as chess pieces in their larger schemes.
The ending with Nibs getting shot, I thought she was dead but she isn't; by Joe and Siberian was very shocking and really well executed, her violent reaction to them throwing Mr Strawberry in the water showed just how mentally broken she had become after losing her memories and sense of identity multiple times throughout the season, then watching her rip that guys jaw clean off remind me to the moment she snap for the first time, that guy could have been Dame, I think at that moment Nibs was just lashing out in pain and confusion like a wounded animal, and when Joe had to stun her to stop the violence it felt like he was putting down a rage dog rather than saving her, this synthetics can run wild out of control. Wendys reaction to Joe hurting Nibs was the final straw that broke their relationship completely at least thats how I felt it, from now on I think it wont be the same for those two, she screamed at him like he had betrayed the entire family which in her mind he probably had because she sees all the hybrids as her responsibility now that shes becoming something more than human. The way the episode ended with Wendy completely isolated from everyone except the Xenomorph hiding in the bushes nearby really sets up what looks like its going to be a pretty dark finale, shes lost her brother, lost Nibs, lost Arthur and now she only has this Alien creature that treats her like its mother which is very creepy but at the same time exciting depending on how you look at it. I'm really curious to see where they take her character in the final episode because she could either become the savior who protects the remaining hybrids or she could become the monster that destroys everyone who stands in her way, the franchise could easily take an entire direction of Wendy been the new Queen who commands the Xenomorphs to the point only Predators could save the Earth, but this is me just letting my imagination run wild.

Movie Review: Anyone But You (2023)
If you’re into romantic comedies, you could consider adding Anyone But You on your watchlist.

But let me say it beforehand: this is a rom-com, there is not so much mystery or a super smart scenario, but I should mention that there is plenty of charm, humor and lovely sceneries with visuals!
source: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26047818/
The Story

After an amazing first date, Bea and Ben's fiery attraction turns ice-cold--until they find themselves unexpectedly reunited at a wedding in Australia. So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.

The main characters are played by Sydney Sweeney as Bea and Glen Powell as Ben. How cute is this .. Ben and Bea...:)

The movie starts with an interesting meet up: two fresh, beautiful young people cross paths in a funny way, they immediately seem as if they match, and they begin to get closer. Just after an amazing evening together, and when you think romance is right there, something happens and their feelings take a sudden U-turn.

Of course, fate has other plans, so after a while, they’re forced to meet again, and from there, the story follows a rocky relationship.

We get to enjoy a series of adventures, some of them are funny, others may feel a bit awkward. Overall, the cast keeps things engaging and lively.

Setting & Atmosphere

What adds additional flavor to the film is its setting.

Shot in Australia, it treats us to:
- Sun-kissed and stunning white-sand beaches
- Stunning boat ride in the ocean
- Gorgeous shots across the Sydney Opera House
These scenes are fantasmagoric and give the movie a lot more sparkle.

There’s also plenty of glamour sprinkled throughout, from chic dresses to elegant sceneries. Please note that I would not recommend this for under 18, there are a few extra-intimate moments, though nothing too much!

Overall...

If you love the rom-com genre, this one will be a pleasant watch. It may not be the best you have ever seen, but it ticks the boxes: attractive leads, playful story and a touch of cinematic beauty.

IMDb rating: 6.1

My rating: 6 (and honestly, if it weren’t for the photography and costumes, I’d put 5.5).

Let me know if you enjoy romantic comedies and of course your thoughts if you end up seeing this!
