The Marvels (2023)
Iman Vellani saved this
Light hearted, fun and a little silly. Imam Vellani gave it an energy that's been lacking from some of the newer MCU films.
Will it change the world and undo all the phase 4 damage? No! But is it fun and an easy, albeit convoluted watch? Yes!
The three Marvels getting together was fun, all channelled though Ms. Marvels infectious energy and actually made Bree Larson seem fun!
The run time was good too at only 1hr45.
The villain was poorly cast with no charisma and I didn't really care for her plight.
If you liked Ms Marvels the I think you'll enjoy this. She has a great future in the MCU.
Star Trek: Voyager: Lineage (2001)
The parallels of people not understanding the struggles of a POC
Rewatching Voyager for the umpteenth time and seeing this episode through new eyes.
Interesting parallels of what it's like to be a POC and have people dismiss the struggles we deal with on a daily basis such as acceptance and fitting in.
Roxanna Dawson gives a stellar performance in portraying how she doesn't want her future child to experience what she went through. Tom being dismissive at first is what happens to a lot of minorities.
Not sure if the writer had this in mind back in 2001 (a simpler time!) but it's a brilliant portrayal of the need to be accepted and not seen for our physical appearances and cultures.
