Star Wars: The Clone Wars Revisited – Part 5: A lot of trouble over one little grub

One of greatly utilised aspects of this being an anthology series is that it can string a series of seemingly different stories together, that are all tied together by a single narrative thread. Something done to great effect here in three episodes that don’t really have anything to do with one another, except for the stories revolving around one troublesome Nemoidian.

Here’ I’ll be talking about episodes 8, 9 and 10 of the first series, but if you want to catch up with what I’ve watched so far in this chronological journey of the Clone Wars, then look no further than this here link.

MCU Rewatch: Ant-Man and the Wasp was unlucky it had to follow Infinity War

Thinking back to my first time watching the sequel to one of the more dubious Marvel movie concepts back when Ant-Man and the Wasp came out, I remember thinking the movie was not all that; a pale imitation of the first one. Having gone back and watched it again for only the second time since June of 2018, I came to a realisation.

Ant-Man and the Wasp’s biggest problem wasn’t that it was a weaker movie than it’s predecessor, it was that it had the misfortune of being the movie that had to follow Infinity War. A problem the last movie didn’t have when it was coming off the back of the sour taste Ultron had left in many people’s mouths.

Before I get any deeper though, this is coming to the end of a year long series where I go back and watch all of the movies of the MCU from the beginning. If you want to see the archive of posts so far then look no further than this here link. Otherwise, I’ll get into Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Revisited – Part 4: Shiny, White & Gold

Looking forward at my watching list for this series, It seems like we’re just focusing down on series 1 for a good while. When I learned that this was an anthology series, and everything was going to be out of order, I’d kind of expected to be jumping around a whole lot more.

But here we at the beginning of a decent run of episodes from the first season, this time episodes 5 to 7. But if you’d like to read the other parts in this series, then just give this link a click and you can see the entire franchise page so far.
