Reviews for Avatar: Fire and Ash are generally positive, though not overwhelmingly so, and the film had a strong opening weekend at the box office, though not as successful as previous Avatar movies. While the visual spectacle isn’t quite as breathtaking as it once was, the third film does improve the character development and explores interesting relationships, particularly between Spider and Kiri.
While earlier episodes like “Conspiracy” and “Identity Crisis” showed more physical horror, “Schisms” focuses on a creeping, internal terror. The episode doesn’t reveal a clear villain until the very end. This leaves the crew exposed and vulnerable during their most personal moments, transforming a puzzling mystery into a truly disturbing experience of bodily invasion.
I just saw the second teaser for Avengers: Doomsday – it’s already leaked online after hitting theaters! It definitely shows Chris Hemsworth coming back as Thor, and it looks like he’s getting ready for another huge battle, even praying to Odin. The first teaser got a pretty mixed reaction, but people seem to be really responding to this more serious take on Thor. After Thor: Love and Thunder, which a lot of fans didn’t love, this feels like a welcome change. I saw one person online say the scene was amazing, and another even jokingly wished Taika Waititi would pay for what they thought he did to the character! It’s getting people hyped, that’s for sure.
The animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender was surprisingly sophisticated for a children’s show on Nickelodeon, and that’s a big reason why it’s still so popular after more than 17 years. Because the original creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, had certain limitations, the new live-action series has a chance to delve even deeper into the show’s most intense moments.
In 2027, Hollywood plans to release a wave of major films, including the highly anticipated Pixar movie, Gatto. This original story follows an unusual cat who must complete a dangerous mission to repay a powerful crime boss. Originally intended for a summer release, the film’s debut has been rescheduled.
Netflix’s action thriller, The Night Agent, is one of the best recent shows to really deliver on its promise. Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, it stars Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent investigating a possible spy within the US government.
The upcoming comic series, Captain Marvel: Dark Past, will consist of five issues. It’s written by Paul Jenkins, who also co-created Sentry, and features artwork by Lucas Werneck, known for his work on Storm and Unbreakable X-Men.
This week, we’ve got a thrilling action drama, the sci-fi show everyone’s talking about, and a competitive reality series with a holiday twist. As a TV writer and critic for Ebaster, I’m confident you’ll find at least one of these shows worth watching!
The show has been gaining more and more attention each week, and episode 5, “I’ll Believe in Anything,” was a particularly strong installment that showed the depth of feeling behind the story of this hockey team. Starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, Heated Rivalry has also benefited from a brilliant social media strategy.
Rhea Seehorn’s performance as Kim Wexler was outstanding, and her recent starring role in the Apple TV+ series Pluribus has brought renewed attention to Better Call Saul. Pluribus is also the latest show from Vince Gilligan, the creator of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
