Marvel's Cloak & Dagger is yet another small part of Marvel Comics that has been auspiciously brought to life, not just because of the protagonists' personal struggles and superpowers, but also because of socially knowledgable undertones that aren't featured much in the rest of the Marvel Cinematics Universe.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 3, “The Lost Fable”
I firmly believe that a story can either shine or collapse on the integrity and empathic quality of the antagonist's backstory. "The Lost Fable" succeeds in this field by presenting a rounded perspective on Salem's downward spiral from a freedom-loving young woman to an immortal entity with a pure desire for destruction.
My 2 Cents on Timeless
Timeless is a doozy of a show, zipping you along with the Time Team through two entertaining seasons of time-traveling missions.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 2, “Uncovered”
I put out a theory that Rooster Teeth most likely wouldn't bring Cinder Fall back from the dead in my review for "Argus Limited," the first episode of RWBY: Volume 6. Well, that just proves how even the best of us end up eating our words.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 1, “Argus Limited”
A snowy forest fades into view. The animation is the best I've seen in a while, beautiful and crisp. The opening titles introduce you to RWBY by Rooster Teeth. And then, just like you're hoping for, it cuts up to the mountain slope where Team RWBY, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Qrow Branwen, and Oscar Pine are battling the Creatures of Grimm atop a train that's about to speed into a tunnel.
My 2 Cents on The Puzzling World of Winston Breen
If you're in the mood for a good treasure hunt, clever puzzles, or a mystery surrounding a would-be thief, one of my favorite books, The Puzzling World of Winston Breen by Eric Berlin, will go above and beyond to fulfill all three conditions.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 5
So many things click together in RWBY: Volume 5, starting with the broad range of storylines and ending with the characters' interpersonal relationships, that it regains some of the energy that was missing from Volume 4.
My 2 Cents on Arrival
The ambitious ideas explored in the science-fiction drama Arrival, boosted by Amy Adams's prime performance, got the gears in my head spinning, although the material did little to fully draw me in and get my heart pumping.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 4
Developing the story and opening up the world of Remnant continues to take top priority in RWBY: Volume 4, even as decidedly dark undertones replace much of the lighthearted humor for which the series has become recognized.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 3
At this point in the Rooster Teeth web series RWBY: Volume 3 is the most intense volume, still exuding the same humor and sincerity with which we've become familiar but also stringing more darkness through the storyline until it builds up to the heartbreaking climax.
