    REVIEW: Wheel of Time 1×3, “A Place of Safety”

    The first episode of Amazon’s Wheel of Time has its issues, and the second episode, “Shadow’s Waiting” does a fine job at fixing most of them. However, the third episode, “A Place of Safety,” is where the show finds itself.

    “A Place of Safety” sees our group of characters divided. Following the shadows overtaking the abandoned city they’d sought shelter in – Shadar Logoth – the group is forced to seek safety or accept death. Desperate to stay alive, the cast of characters went in search of the nearest escape. This, of course, resulted in groups losing track of each other as they got out in various ways. This episode revolves around them trying to find their way back to one another. Of course, things do not go as planned.

    The episode opens with a trolloc dragging Nynaeve al’Meara behind it. Of course, Nynaeve is believed to be dead at the end of episode one following the trolloc attack at the village of the Two Rivers. This opening, however, shows how she was able to escape and go in search of the others. We then cut to the present time as she demands answers from Lan. While she struggles to accept the teens are no longer with Lan and Moiraine, she offers to try and heal Moiraine of the poison coursing through her body.

    As the episode unfolds, we cut to Rand and Mat and Egwene and Perrin. While Rand and Mat are in the mountains, desperately trying to locate the others, we see Egwene and Perrin traveling through a deserted area. As the teens reckon with the idea of going home, they are reminded of why they can’t return. As Moiraine explains early on, one of the four are the Dragon reborn and so long as they remain in the Two Rivers, the Fade and trollocs will continue to come.

    Rand and Mat eventually find shelter in a nearby village where they are welcomed by a young lady named Dana. However, they soon learn the village they landed in is far from welcoming. While Egwene and Perrin find themselves surrounded by wolves who look to have brought them to safety thanks to travelers. As we cut back to Lan and Moiraine, we find she’s barely reacting to the concoction Nynaeve used to draw out the poison. This, of course, leaves Rosamund Pike‘s Moiraine on the sidelines for the remainder of the episode. It does, however, allow for us to see the relationship between Lan and Nynaeve begin to develop.

    For an episode that is meant to simply move along the plot “A Place of Safety” is an excellent exploration of Jordan’s world and the trials and tribulations these characters will need to endure. Mat, who has mainly served as a plot device thus far, finally showcases some true emotions this episode. There’s a vulnerability to him that he has hidden up until this point. When he tries to talk Rand into going home, it’s evident he’s doing so because he wants to return to his sisters. He knows the choice Rand will make, but he tries his best to change his mind because he doesn’t want to leave him behind. His actions are frustrating, sure, but it’s a great dive into his character.

    The same could be said with Perrin. While the show has yet to explain the wolves and why they are following him, knowing the series will explore his relationship with the wolves is satisfying. So far, we’ve seen him suffering from the knowledge of knowing he killed his wife on accident while trying to recover from a wound on his shin. He’s been relatively quiet, trying not to disturb the others as he comes to terms with his mistakes. The moments between him and Egwene are so well done, especially the moment in which he finally lets his grief and pain overtake him.

    The best part of the episode, however, is the ending when Lan and Moiraine are greeted by Liandrin Sedai, who reveals she has captured a man claiming to be the Dragon Reborn. However, as Moiraine knows, the man is not the Dragon Reborn. Although weak from the poison in her body, for the first time this episode, her eyes are wide and alert as they fall upon the caged man. It’s a huge cliffhanger, but it makes what is still to come in “The Dragon Reborn” all the more exciting.

    With three episodes down, Amazon’s Wheel of Time is proving to be a well-done take on Robert Jordan‘s books. Yes, it does make some changes, as do all adaptations, but the changes ultimately work. The imagery is stunning, the costume work is fantastic, the casting choices are great and the score only helps to elevate the story. It’s hard not to enjoy this take on the beloved fantasy series.

  • ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Proves John Cho is an Action Star

    ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Proves John Cho is an Action Star

    John Cho is an actor with many credits to his name. Some are comedy based (Harold & Kumar), while others are smaller roles in popular franchises, ala Star Trek. However, in recent years, the actor has shown he’s capable of more than Hollywood has allowed him to prove thus far.

    In 2016, fans created the #StarringJohnCho hashtag as a means to voice their frustrations with Hollywood, while also throwing their support behind the actor. Two years later, in 2018, Cho finally got to become a leading man thanks to Searching. It was a low-budget film about a father trying to find his daughter, yet it went on to earn $75.5 million at the box office. The highly-buzzed about feature earned Cho a nomination for Best Male Lead from the Independent Spirit Awards in 2019, as well as plenty of Oscar buzz among critics. Yet, despite all of this, it still feels as though Cho has not been given his due in Hollywood.

    Enter Cowboy Bebop. Although flawed in its storytelling, Netflix’s live-action take on the beloved anime does something right. Casting a character like Spike Spiegel isn’t easy. The person portraying the character has to have a certain charisma to them. They have to be charming, yet appear deadly. Cho manages to capture Spiegel’s wit and personality perfectly. More importantly, though, his performance seems almost effortless.

    He feels threatening during the flashbacks to his time in the syndicate. He feels vulnerable as he recalls his time with Julia. More importantly, however, Cho showcases the humanity of a character who so often hides behind his sarcasm. He’s able to slip into the character so easily, you forget you’re watching a performance because of how well he encompasses the character.

    Cho moves between the roles as Fearless and Spike with no hesitation. As Fearless, a member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate, he has no qualms about killing anyone. He’s rash, callous and deadly. Whereas, as Spike, there’s a moral center to the character. Cho’s actions soften as we move to present-day Spike, yet he’s just as imposing in action scenes for both.

    In an industry where white men named Chris seem to get all of the roles, it’s about time Hollywood sees Cho as more than a supporting character. His turn as Spike Spiegel shows he is ready for a franchise of his own.

  • REVIEW: ‘Wheel of Time’ 1×2 “Shadow’s Waiting”

    REVIEW: ‘Wheel of Time’ 1×2 “Shadow’s Waiting”

    Following a strong pilot episode, Amazon’s Wheel of Time returns with its second episode, “Shadows Waiting.” When it comes to adapting a popular title like Wheel of Time, it’s important to ensure book fans are happy, as well as the general audience. Not everyone has had time to devour Robert Jordan‘s books, and Wheel of Time understands this. The series has found a way to tell its story without making newcomers feel unwelcome.

    “Shadows Waiting” sees our foursome on the run with Rosamund Pike‘s Moiraine and Daniel Henney‘s Lan. With the group on the move, the trollocs are coming after them and they must find a way to escape. As it turns out, though, the trollocs are terrified of deep water, which Moiraine uses to their advantage. After bribing a ferriman, the group successfully crosses the water, but not without a casualty.

    As the group finds temporary solace from the threat, Moiraine reveals to Egwene that she’s able to access the power of the One. There’s a hint of uncertainty on Egwene’s face as she walks away, but their conversation carries weight in later scenes. It is clear the group is unsure of whether or not Moiraine and Lan are trustworthy, however, they know they need to trust her if they want to survive.

    One thing this episode does fantastically well is balance the storytelling with the action. The characters help to expand upon the world, helping to familiarize those who have not yet read the books. Yet, the dialogue doesn’t bog things down because the episode knows when to splice in action and tension. As the crew manages to escape two enemies, it appears as though they’re safe. However, it quickly becomes apparent that is not the case.

    What follows thereafter, is a stunning sequence that sees our heroes split up against their will. The CGI does suffer at times, especially as the shadow encompasses the city and chases the group away. However, it’s a strong note to end the episode on, especially given the huge reveal at the end of the episode: Nynaeve is alive.

    Overall, “Shadow’s Waiting” is a stellar second episode that both book lovers and series newbies will enjoy.

  • REVIEW: Wheel of Time 1×1, ‘Leavetaking’

    REVIEW: Wheel of Time 1×1, ‘Leavetaking’

    Adaptions are a tough thing. Choosing to make a straight adaption of a title can be viewed as lazy, while failing to stay true to the source material can upset fans. Amazon’s Wheel of Time is one of those titles with a rabid fanbase that has been eagerly awaiting a live-action take on the project for two decades. For book purists, Amazon’s Wheel of Time may be disappointing. After all, it does take departures from the novels, however, the adaption is successful in capturing the spirit of Robert Jordan‘s epic fantasy.

    The first episode of Wheel of Time wastes no time in moving the story forward. We see women on horseback chasing after a man who has fallen under the control of the taint. As they apprehend him, the story changes focus to the story’s main character, Rand, as he helps his father transport a cart full of brandy and cider to the Winespring Inn ahead of Bel Tine. In the book, Rand sees a cloaked figure watching them during the journey to the Inn. The series, however, skips over this detail and instead sees the duo reach the Inn safely and without questioning any mysterious figure watching over them.

    It’s a minor change, but one that does leave an impact, as Rand was unsure and anxious following the event. It’s an odd scene to omit, however, despite this, the story still manages to pull viewers in. As with most adaptions, the cast has been aged up, which allows the writers to explore possibilities on the small screen that might’ve been skipped over in the novels. Case in point is the relationship between Rand and Egwene Al’Vere, which sees the duo as well-established and in intimate settings. It’s a bit startling at first, especially given how young the characters are in the books, but the television series does a good job at establishing its own take on these characters while adhering to the characteristics of each in the novels.

    When we finally move into the village of Two Rivers is when the series shines. Viewers will become engrossed in the world before them. Jordan might’ve been criticized for his tendency to write flowery text and his love of descriptions. However, the images painted by his words come alive on screen in this adaption so perfectly.

    As Rosamund Pike‘s Moiraine Damodred comes into the picture, joined by Daniel Henney‘s Lan Mondragoran, Wheel of Time becomes its own take on the beloved fantasy series. It pulls from the book, but manages to offer its own twist on the story, an important detail when adapting a title as loved as this one.

    Midway through the episode, the Trollocs make their way into the village and wreak havoc. They are after the chosen one – Rand – and will not stop coming and destroying life in the village until they’ve gotten him. The Trollocs were so well-designed, they’re absolutely terrifying and the CGI work is impeccable. It’s impressive just how well done the battle is, s much so it becomes hard to look away in fear of missing something.

    When Damodred helps to save the village to the best of her ability, she tells Rand he will need to leave in order to remain safe. Resulting in him, and his group of friends, joining her on a journey that’ll take them out of the village of the Two Rivers and into a world of the unknown.

    Admittedly, the episode does have some moments that lull. And yes, there will always be changes from the books that make no sense. However, there’s more than enough here to enjoy. Pike is a force to be reckoned with every moment she’s on-screen, and her chemistry with Henney is exciting. While some of the younger actors stumble at times, when they come together as a group, they seem to lift one another up. The performances are strong, the action is perfectly executed, and the settings perfectly bring Jordan’s words to life.

    Overall, Amazon’s take on Wheel of Time pays respect to Jordan’s work while also establishing itself as its own story. It’s a hard line to walk, but so far, Wheel of Time looks to be off to a promising start.

  • ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Finally Introduces Radical Edward

    ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Finally Introduces Radical Edward

    Please note, the below article includes spoilers for Cowboy Bebop.

    When it comes to adapting popular titles, changes are always expected. This is because it’s important storytellers are allowed to craft something unique for fans. Merely adapting a title scene-for-scene makes it difficult for the creatives involved to leave their mark. When it comes to adapting popular animes, though, Hollywood hasn’t exactly had the best track record. Cowboy Bebop, unfortunately, falls into the latter group.

    Ever since it was revealed Netflix would be adapting Cowboy Bebop in live-action, fans have been eagerly awaiting news regarding the casting of a certain fan-favorite. While cast members for Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), Spike Spiegel (John Cho) and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) were announced, there was radio silence regarding Edward’s involvement. It was a strange move, especially given how popular of a character Radical Edward is and how important she becomes to the rag-tag group of heroes. However, with the Netflix series telling its own take on the beloved anime, fans were hopeful Edward would appear in some capacity.

    And she does… just not in the capacity fans were probably hoping.

    The first season of Cowboy Bebop consists of 10-episodes. While it takes pointers from the anime, often incorporating bits from some of its more popular episodes, none of the episodes truly follow the anime exactly. On one hand, it’s a smart move because it allows for creative freedom. On the other hand, though, too much creative freedom when adapting a popular title could result in a tale that barely resembles its source.

    Throughout the first season, Edward is missing. She’s mentioned for a brief moment in the sixth episode. It happens when Jet and Spike discuss the hacker Radical Edward, but that’s it. Until the final episode, that is. In the final minutes of “Supernova Symphony,” Edward finally makes her grand entrance alongside Ein, who the group abandoned in an earlier episode.

    Her entrance is not explained, nor is it explained how she came upon Ein. However, it’s clear she knows Spike as Edward calls him by his first name. He’s passed out on the ground after getting drunk at a nearby bar. Earlier in the episode, we saw the group go their separate ways as Spike’s past finally becomes known to Jet. It’s a surprising ending, as in the anime, the group doesn’t split until the final episodes. Spike, in true Spike fashion, seems to be seeking an escape through alcohol. Unfortunately for him, though, Edward is not one to give up.

    When he initially tries to ignore her, Edward explains she’s come to him because she has a bounty for him. As the cameras pan out, we see Edward trying to wake a drunken Spike from his slumber much to his dismay.

    For a character as popular as Edward, and one Netflix seems to acknowledge is popular among fans, it makes little sense as to why she gets all of 4 minutes of screen-time in Season 1. Furthermore, her entrance just as the team falls apart after enduring some of their toughest missions makes little sense. Edward may be a bit loud and a bit strange at times, but she’s as core to the group as Ein. More importantly, she helps the team on more than one occasion. Her near erasure from Season 1 makes little sense.

    Hopefully, when Season 2 happens, Edward receives a larger role, because a Cowboy Bebop show without Edward just feels wrong.

    Cowboy Bebop is now streaming on Netflix.

  • J.R. Ramirez Teases Start of Production on ‘Manifest’ Season 4

    J.R. Ramirez Teases Start of Production on ‘Manifest’ Season 4

    The hit series Manifest is back in business.

    After being canceled by NBC over the Summer, Netflix gave the series a second life when it picked up the show for a fourth and final season. As we previously teased, production on the fan-favorite series kicked off today. The news was confirmed by one of the show’s leading actors, J.R. Ramirez in a post on Instagram.

    When Manifest was canceled by NBC in July, the series was being shopped around, however, it seemed uncertain it would find another home. After all, Netflix initially passed on the show. However, as viewers continued to stream the series on the streaming service, the streamer retracted its initial decision. Ironically, Netflix had to beat out NBC to renew the show for Season 4.

    Needless to say, it has been quite the journey for the cast and crew. Something Ramirez acknowledges. In his post, the actor talked about what it was like to return to the stages today. “Walking through the stages this am… Just felt different. I’ve been working in this business for almost two decades now and I know to land a team of Cast n Crew that is as Collaborative, Dedicated and in my opinion (Most Importantly) “Ego Checked” as these Beautifully Talented Humans are… well it RARELY happens,” he writers. “It’s only day one and you can already feel the Level of Appreciation this group has for the Magical Ride that is Manifest! But let’s keep it real… The reality is ALL of This Magic is happening because of YOU guys! You guys made this happen! We Love You. Can’t wait for you to see how it all comes together.”

    A release date for Season 4 of Manifest is not yet known. However, fans can rest easy knowing Season 4 is, finally, happening.

  • REPORT: Greta Gerwig Pens Latest Draft of Disney’s Live-Action ‘Snow White’

    REPORT: Greta Gerwig Pens Latest Draft of Disney’s Live-Action ‘Snow White’

    Disney’s live-action Snow White has reportedly brought in Little Women writer Greta Gerwig to pen the latest draft.

    The news comes courtesy of The DisInsider with the outlet reporting musical rehearsals beginning in January. Production on the film kicks off in March. It was recently announced that Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot will portray the Evil Queen in the film. Gadot joins actress Rachel Zegler who will play Snow White.

    Along with news of Gerwig’s involvement, the outlet was able to unveil two-character breakdowns for the film. One is for a young Snow White, while the other is for her love interest. The character isn’t described as Prince Charming, the breakdown refers to him as Jonathan and describes him as having “plenty of swagger and a twinkle in his eye.” The breakdown reportedly also states he resorts “to Robin Hood-like thievery to provide for him and his friends.”

    Gerwig is a two-time Academy Award-nominee and was nominated for her work on Little Women, which she wrote and directed. She is currently set to helm the live-action Barbie, with Margot Robbie in the titular role, for Warner Bros.

    Snow White will be directed by Marc Webb.

  • REVIEW: Amazon’s Wheel of Time is a Well-Done Adaptation

    REVIEW: Amazon’s Wheel of Time is a Well-Done Adaptation

    Note: This review contains no spoilers for the first three episodes of Wheel of Time.

    After two decades of being in development, Robert Jordan‘s Wheel of Time series is finally hitting the small screen. For fans of the book, it has been a long wait. However, it’s safe to say it has been worthwhile as Amazon’s Wheel of Time adaption is a well-done take on the beloved fantasy series.

    Amazon’s decision to release the first three episodes upfront may seem a bit strange initially. After all, these are hour-long episodes and the first season only contains eight episodes total. Once given the chance to dive in, though, it is clear the first three episodes are best viewed back-to-back. While the pilot episode falters at times as it struggles to set up this massive fantasy world, the second episode seems to regain its footing.

    Jordan’s books are known for being full of flowery text. They are overly descriptive to the point readers are able to envision the world while reading. It’s great for reading, however, it can make it harder to translate to another medium – especially a live-action take. This is something the first episode, “Leavetaking,” struggles with as it tries to find a balance between telling its own story and merely adapting its source material.

    The pilot does a great job at paying homage to the books, as it focuses on the woman and them earning the right to bore a braid, as well as the village located near the Two Rivers. The scenery is often breathtaking and the casting choices, although aged-up, are smart and well-done. Some minor decisions make no sense, though, including scenes from the first book that would better impact the story moving forward. It almost feels as though the writers want to hold off on more fantastical aspects of the story until the end of the episode, unleashing a new world of magic upon viewers in the last minutes.

    Thankfully, the second episode “Shadow’s Waiting,” realizes there’s no need to shy away from the magic and lore of this massive world. From the start, the second episode puts our characters through the wringer. It’s an expansive episode that captures Jordan’s work and Rosamund Pike delivers a heck of a performance. If there is one casting choice the series nails, it is Pike as Moiraine. She commands every moment on screen, and in “Shadows Waiting” she puts everything on the table. From the way she delivers some of the lore on screen, to her chemistry with Daniel Henney‘s Lan, this is her episode to shine and she does. This episode belongs to them.

    Going into the third episode, things are rocky for our gang. “A Place of Safety” has one of the best openings of the series yet. No longer does Wheel of Time try holding its audience’s hand. Viewers are thrown deep into this world where death is something to constantly outrun. Our group of characters is left feeling defeated and desperate, with emotions overtaking rational thought. Pike’s Moiraine takes a backseat in this episode, allowing the younger cast to shine. Each of them is driven by something – anger, desperation, love, regret – and despite their desire to escape the terrors that await them, they ultimately all decide to do what is needed. Lorne Balfe’s score is noticeably effective in this episode, it is both haunting and cinematic serving as the perfect backdrop.

    Overall, Wheel of Time is not a perfect adaption. It is, however, a very good adaption that is worthy of your time. The first three episodes are a strong effort and do an impressive job at recreating the magic of Jordan’s novels.

    The first three episodes of The Wheel of Time debut on Amazon on Friday, Nov. 19.

    For spoiler-filled reviews, check back on the 20th when we run the individual reviews for the first three episodes. Then we’ll be reviewing the series on a weekly basis!

  • REVIEW: Netflix’s ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Lacks the Spark of the Anime

    REVIEW: Netflix’s ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Lacks the Spark of the Anime

    Note: The below review contains no spoilers for the Netflix adaption, only mentions of plot points from the anime.

    Cowboy Bebop is often considered one of the best animes. A rag-tag group of misfits that seek to find someone among one another? It’s a common trope, but one the original anime executed perfectly. The idea of seeing that in live-action was exciting, especially with John Cho leading the way. Unfortunately, however, the live-action adaption of Cowboy Bebop often feels rushed and as though it’s unsure of how to bring about this group of misfits.

    Cowboy Bebop is a story of a rag-tag team of bounty hunters in the year 2071, approximately 50 years after an accident that made Earth nearly uninhabitable. The series focuses on Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Edward and Ein as they try to build their futures while running from their pasts. As the anime will tell you, though, this is not a happy story, and the live-action adaption does not try to turn this into a story with a happy ending.

    Trying to adapt a title for live-action is a hard task. Writers are expected to pay homage to the original, if not mirroring it closely, while still making the story feel fresh and unique. It’s a fine line that even the best of writers often fail to maneuver. This is Cowboy Bebop‘s biggest issue. Rather than try and make the live-action take feel unique, the writers often pull from the anime, leaning on the original far more than needed. An action that would have been fine had the writers adequately used the anime as a reference for the series. Instead, it feels like a mishmash of highlights from the anime being adapted with a slight alteration here and there. It never quite feels like a proper adaption, yet it never feels like its own story, either. There was a chance to make a new story with Spike and crew here, one that could still capture the spirit of the original, yet become its own entity.

    In the end, though, Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop wanted to try and replicate the anime too much; a decision that would ultimately be its downfall. While it’s not terrible, the series does not capture that spark and excitement of the anime. A fair amount of the episodes drag, and some of the performances feel subpar. John Cho, however, gives his all in the role of Spike and steals the spotlight every moment he’s own screen.

    The family dynamic between these characters we all know and love is nearly nonexistent in early episodes. Once the gang does get together, though, the banter flows almost naturally. It’s just a shame it takes so long to reach this point. With just 10-episodes for its first season, Cowboy Bebop often feels as though it’s trying to rush through callbacks to the anime while failing to fully flesh out its characters.

    The final episode of Cowboy Bebop‘s first season is where things completely fall apart. The episode pulls from “Ballad of Fallen Angels,” the fifth episode in the original series, even going as far as to see Vicious and Spike battle in the church. It’s stunning just how well the set production captures the look and feel from the anime. However, what follows is such a departure from the source material that it’s hard to understand what the writers were trying to do. 

    Perhaps the episode wanted to right some of the wrongs in the anime, it’s hard to tell. It’s as though, at the very end, the creatives decided to finally try to make the story their own by drastically altering some of its main characters. It ends up feeling as though Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop doesn’t understand its source material at times.

    Overall, the live-action take on Cowboy Bebop isn’t terrible. In fact, despite all of its flaws, there are some positives in this take on Cowboy Bebop. Episode six, for example, is a well-written episode that truly captures the feel of its predecessor while still feeling fresh. And while not all of the episodes are as strong, there are fun moments sprinkled throughout.

    It’ll be interesting to see where a second season goes, as the first season did pull bits from the anime across numerous episodes. One thing seems certain, this is not the last time we’ll see Spike and company.

    See you soon Space Cowboy.

  • The Studio Behind ‘Castlevania’ Nearly Made a Marvel Anthology Series

    The Studio Behind ‘Castlevania’ Nearly Made a Marvel Anthology Series

    Long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe came to be what it is today, Marvel Comics found success in its animated series. One of those was X-Men: The Animated Series, which is coming back as X-Men ’97 on Disney+, joining the newly announced Spider-Man: Freshman Year. However, as popular as those titles are, there are still plenty of Marvel projects that don’t always come to fruition – including animated ones.

    During a recent Twitter thread, Brad Graeber, the CEO of Castlevania creators Powerhouse Animation, revealed he pitched a Marvel series in 2014 titled Marvel Era. The project was to coincide with Marvel’s 75th anniversary. It was pitched as a short-form anthology series that would have shorts covering various eras, each with its own animation style. He unveiled a video that teased what would have been, including a hint at the artwork that would have been used for each character/era.

    Graeber wrote approximately 14 “rough” concepts for Marvel Era, including a 40s-centric Captain America D-day story, as well as a Submariner U-boat story and a 60s X-Men story featuring a mutant who “led a cult with his powers.” He also explained there was a “very cinema 70s” Luke Cage and Iron Fist, as well as an 80s Punisher story that leaned into Scarface and Miami Vice.

    Unfortunately, though, Marvel Era never moved forward as “studio politics were complicated, and we were green.” For Graeber, it’s something he has come to terms with over time as he’s since gotten to work on the critically-acclaimed Castlevania for Netflix.
