In a very philosophical episode of VisionQuest, both Vision and Jocasta come face to face with The Client and he’s handing out promises and ultimatums. Vision has to dig deep in his mind to find his heart, so he can save his son’s girlfriend and Jocasta really wants to open up that box. The clock is ticking on Vision to save the day and Ultron is DEFINITELY still up to something. In the comments, let us know our best theory for who “The Client” is and why they look like that!

VisionQuest episodes 5&6 give us some major revelations about Jocasta, Ultron’s intentions, and Vision’s weak spot. If you felt all warm and tingly inside from the palpable, sexual tension between our villainous robots, you wouldn’t be alone😂 We have one major question still looming over the show: who is the client?

Disney Plus has the official playlist for what you should be watching to prepare for Avengers: Doomsday. First on the list is X-Men and X2, with Professor X and our favorite mutants are fully formed and teaching the young mutants at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. We dive into our thoughts about the film after rewatching them in 2026, how it could impact Doomsday, and the main problem with these films. Let us know in the comments how these two film will affect Avengers: Doomsday. Please!

Visionquest episodes 3 and 4 will go down in MCU history as arguably one of the most transformative and effective uses of retroactive continuity. These two episodes give so much context to lore we didn’t even consider, while still keeping the actual story grounded in stakes that are intentional and personal to our main characters of Vision (and the “A.I.’s” in his head) and Tommy. We get the reveal of another syntheziod baddie, while Paladin and the Client are having a difference of opinion concerning the oath of the contract they brokered.

Vision 2.0 is having a hard time understanding humanity as he tries to gain a hold of his identity. This process, which seems more like procrastination, is one year in and he still doesn’t want to fully commit. In his head is every other Stark AI, included the much maligned AI of Ultron. Of course there’s a villain who isn’t the “big bad” and Tommy is also struggling with his identity after the end of Agatha All Along.

In the season finale of Lanterns on HBO, we get some much needed closure to the mystery of Hal’s untimely passing. Jon also gets a sense of catharsis in the form of empathy, as the revelations around Hal leads us to more questions about Sinestro, Noah, and The Guardians too.

We saw the finale to the Infinity Saga in theaters (again) seven years after it originally released and y’all, it’s still an amazing experience! Oh yeah, we also got some connections to Doomsday and what we can expect to see from Dr. Doom! If you saw it, how did watching Endgame on the big screen make you feel after all these years? Please!

In the penultimate episode seven on Lanterns season one, we find Halogram and Jon trying their best to figure out who killed Hal. We get some eye-opening context of Hal’s upbringing and the Jordan boys’ legacy. Do you think we will have time to wrap up Sinestro, Maggie the extortionist, the actual murder mystery, and Noah next week, or will they be setting us up for season two? Please!

Lanterns is proving that it’s possible to make compelling superhero storytelling on screen, because season one episode six of this show proves it. Back in Rushville, the chickens have come home to roost, as everyone’s longings are on fully display. The question of this episode is why did Hal tell Jon not to tell anyone that he was there?

Even though we have three episodes left, this could have easily sufficed as the last one for the season. In the midst of so much chaos in Rushville, this episode reaffirmed a lot of our premonitions and notions about the plot of this show. Zoe pulls the trigger on her condition to the inhabitants of Rushville, Hal does Jon dirty (again), the aliens go kaboom, and the aftermath of episode five will have long lasting effects. How do you think this series is going to move forward from here?

In an episode full of “agains” and “truths,” we find out who the Manhunter is, what’s actually going on at the ranch in Rushville, why no one was in the hospital, how Jon really likes the company of an older woman, and who Hal placates to. The crux of Lanterns S1:E4 lies on the continued brashness of Hal Jordan and his willingness to withhold and conceal, while actually conceding to some aspects about Jon that he needs a pep talk to get recentered about. Now that the Manhunter is revealed, what’s the mystery going to be for the latter half of the season? Please!

In a fantastic episode of television, we are transported into several parts of Jon Stewart’s origin story. From him being recruited as an infant, to landing the interview of his life, Jon fully divulges his why in regards to his destiny of becoming a Lantern. Hal Jordan still sucks and being Black in this world is very similar to the real world. Based on what we know about Jon after this episode, do we think he even cares that Hal is dead in 2026? Please!

Lanterns on HBO is the DCU’s latest foray into expanding their universe and this couldn’t have dropped at a better time. Off the heels of the not so appealing Supergirl, we are thrusted into a seemingly small, yet large scale alien invasion in the middle of Nebraska. Jon Stewart is the young upstart, while Hal Jordan is the grizzled old vet that doesn’t want to give up the ring just yet. This superhero meets True Detective show has all the vibes and is looking to be a fun run of episodes. What did you make of the last scene of the episode? Please!

In an episode full of secrets and factions that are fully invested in a small town, Jon is proving to be even more worthy of the ring than Hal. Our boy Hal is proving that privilege is playing a clear role in how he operates as a lantern and that gets him in a lil bit of hot water. We get the introduction of our actual big bad and this villain could literally be anyone. Our question for you is how did Jon keep the construct going without the ring? Please!

In the season two finale of X-Men ‘97, many questions have been answered, ultimate sacrifices made, and a major setup for season three was revealed in post credit scene. There was one glaring aspect of the first season that is missing from the entirety of this season and it’s possible we never get that back. And in true X-Men fashion, we have some new love and love conquering all. What was your favorite moment from the finale? Please!
