The Upon Further Review

In what is most likely the series finale of Ironheart, we get several tie-ins to the greater MCU with the mystic arts, Kamar-Taj, and Dr. Strange being mentioned. We have some more magic users in the series, The Hood’s hood is from a different place and time, and we actually get the most evil entity ever in the MCU, chopping it up over some pizza.

Is her willingness to make a difference being blinded by the lengths she willing to take to see her dreams...

This unexpected banger of an anthology turned interconnected story is one of the best animated movies we’ve seen in a while.

The greatness of Andor and Rogue One is undeniable. The fact that they work so beautifully together is nothing short of masterful.
