OTC Vol 2 Ep 206: Aquaman 2 & The End of the DCEU
The last movie of the Snyder Verse, and how did it go? It was simply fun. Aquaman & the Lost Kingdom is a movie that has its themes of bromance, fatherhood, family and just plain entertainment. Is it silly, of course it is, but in the world of comic book movies currently, we can enjoy what is…

OTC Vol 2 Ep 205: Marvel FIRES Jonathan Majors!!!
Welp, the verdict is in, and Jonathan Majors is guilty for harassment & third degree assault. Furthermore, Disney/Marvel fires him right after.

OTC Vol 2 Ep 204: Bob Iger runs over The Marvels!
For a CEO of a multi billion dollar company to come out and admits that a movie under his company has failed and blames Covid speaks high volume. Since I do not believe him for a second on his reasoning. Nevertheless, the Marvels ends their theatrical run with under $200,000,000. Now we can…

OTC Vol 2 Ep 199: Scarlet Witch is DEAD?!
Okay okay okay, so there's this book that apparently has confirmed that Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) died from the events of Multiverse of Madness. A confirmation that took a year, after the movie has concluded. Bias perspective aside, why does this feel so lazy, cheap, and anticlimactic? What...
-
OTC Vol 2 Ep 198: Brie Larson "Disillusioned"
It's so easy for us to criticize and give backlash towards a human being that pretty much brought it upon themselves.

OTC Vol 2 Ep 197: Marvel's Soft Reboot? & SAG Strike Halt
Some of us have been secretly begging for it, pleading for it, that maybe Marvel should just reboot itself completely. Well, according to certain reports, that's what's going to happen with Avengers: Secret Wars. But will that fix any of the issues that Marvel has been having for the past few...

OTC Vol 2 Ep 193: Maybe...MAYBE There's Hope for The Marvels
Ok, so the latest trailer just released for The Marvels. Maybe you've seen it, but I haven't. Even though the movie is still happening, there has to be something, SOMETHING for me to grab on to for The Marvels to be decent and tolerable to watch. I'm trying here guys, I really am. Also, let's...

Here it is, my review on the latest "DCU" movie of Blue Beetle! Now normally, I'm not the type of guy that screams, "WE NEED DIVERSITY & REPRESENTATION", but I will appreciate it when it is done correctly and organically, and I had a good time watching this. Granted, there were moments where you...

OTC Short - Loki Season 2
I gotta say, I watched the trailer, and I'm actually looking forward to the show. From the buddy cop dynamic with Loki and Mobius to them trying to save history from shattering, it could be an exciting show to watch. Then again, should I have my expectations high on this? Only "time" will tell. LOL
-
OTC Vol 2 Ep 189: Secret Invasion... I'm done...
So I binged watch Marvel's Secret Invasion, and there is a strong reason why it is deemed as the worst Disney/Marvel show currently (even though to me, She-Hulk was worse). From making stupid choices like G'iah a superpowered Skrull to having live executions, it seems the MCU no longer cares on...
-
OTC Vol 2 Ep 188: What's Left? What's Remaining?
We have reached the half point of the year and according to the schedule, there are 5 comic book movies to watch (Secret Invasion as a show), and let's just say my hype level has dwindled significantly. Nevertheless, here we are to discuss what is remaining and what my predictions are. Hopefully…

OTC Vol 2 Ep 186: Why did "The Flash" Flop???
Ok ok ok, so we pretty much know the answers to this question. Could it be the Ezra Miller controversies, the Horrible CGI, Superhero fatigue? Yes yes and yes. It's insane that we continue to get to these point of comic movies and we still get mediocre content. Here, I break down all of this and...
-
OTC Vol 2 Ep 185: Is Spider-Gwen Trans?!
Such a sensitive and taboo subject, yet it has to be addressed since that is the world we are living in now. A lot of fans are now convinced and truly believe that Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now Transgender. And while it is soooo easy to claim this theory to be...

OTC Vol 2 Ep 183: I LOVED Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Yes yes yes, call me a James Gunn d*** rider, call me biased, call me whatever, but this movie made me feel something and that was enjoyment through and through.

OTC Vol 2 Ep 180: Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania Review
So here is it, my semi spoiler filled review on Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania Review and it was ehhhhhhhh. Not the worst, but definitely not the best. It's at this point that I have no hope for Marvel Phase 5. Almost every movie & show that comes out is going to be nothing but filler, and…

OTC Vol 2 Ep 179: The Flash Trailer
So here we are to talk on the latest Flash trailer that occurred during the Super Bowl. Gotta admit, didn't see it all, but let's face it, we pretty much know exactly how this movie is gonna turn out. But is this DC's No Way Home at this point? Only one way to find out!

OTC Vol 2 Ep 176: Boycotting Bayonetta 3?!
As a fellow voice actor, I knew that I had to get my thoughts across on this and I completely agree with the voice actress for Bayonetta, Hellena Taylor that we should be compensated for what we're worth, since we are at the end of the day, a business. But to ask us, the audience to boycott the...
-
OTC Vol 2 Ep 175: Why She-Hulk Finale Doesn't Work?
Yes, I have returned, to talk about one of the worst Marvel shows I have ever seen, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. I never believed it would be this that would make me come back, but I realized that I needed to air out my frustrations completely. First the synopsis, then go to what I liked (very...
