San Diego Comic Con
The schedules for San Diego Comic Con are now being released and my little nerd heart is very happy. There is going to be a lot going on all weekend but Friday will probably be my busiest day work wise. I already have some interviews lined up. Figuring out the schedule for the weekend is leading to some really tough choices. I am simply too nerdy for my own good and it is taking just so much effort to choose what I want to do. All that said, let’s get into my very tentative and hopeful schedule for Friday at SDCC.

The Boys
Wow, a lot happened last episode. Butcher realizes that he has been hallucinating Joe, and he finds out that the only way to modify the virus is to make it airborne, therefore killing all the Supes. It seems like the only reason that this makes Butcher hesitate is Ryan. Then we have the fact that now Firecracker has finally gotten in with Homelander and our big, evil, all powerful villain is back to breastfeeding. This does give her some level of power over him now.

True Teryn
The second book in S.G. Blaise’s The Last Lumenian Series, True Teryn, is an incredible continuation of the series. The second book, of four, does an incredible job of furthering the story while also balancing the introduction of new characters and the development of our existing ones. With more fantasy and slightly less political drive, True Teryn offers a different side of S.G.’s brilliant writing skills.

Madame Web
Now obviously Madame Web has gotten a lot of shit and I had no doubt in my mind that it was going to be bad. Because let’s be honest, Sony can’t handle live action superhero movies. The Spiderverse movies are brilliant due to the fact that they are produced by a completely different department. But between this, the Venom movies and the Kraven movie we are all going to sit through, they aren’t a good studio for superhero films. Now we all know by now that I don’t believe you have the right to an opinion unless you can defend it, so does Madame Web really suck as bad as the internet says? Let’s find out.

Lisa Frankenstein
Lisa Frankenstein has been on my to watch list for a very long time. I love the cast, the vibes from the trailer are immaculate and honestly any movie set in the 80s gets my attention. So we are finally sitting my ass down and watching it. I will say that right off the bat I am in love with the opening sequence, it feels very Tim Burton-esque…the early years. It was also written and directed by women which we should know by now makes me very excited. And I have very high hopes for this movie so let’s dive in.

The Last Lumenian
The Last Lumenian is a wonderfully written fantasy series that leans heavily into political fiction as well as turning normal tropes on their heads. S.G. Blaise is a prolific author that has already released 4 books in this series and we are supposed to be getting a special announcement at San Diego Comic Con this year. So naturally I read all four books over the span of two weeks so that I can be properly excited for this new announcement. The first book in the series accomplishes many things and we will be doing this both with and without spoilers.

House of the Dragon Episode 4
We are now four weeks into season 2 of House of the Dragon and the writers have spent the last 3 episodes telling the audience that the creative team doesn’t even know what Fire and Blood is. Last week's final scene was a pathetic attempt at character development and it failed miserably. I am really hoping that there is a major turn in the tide here with House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4 because otherwise I am going to rip my hair out.

The Boys
The last episode of The Boys definitely moved our plot along a lot more. Butcher has Nueman’s husband held hostage wanting him to recreate the virus. Something is going on with Starlight, for some reason her powers have been shitting out. Honestly it feels a little like they just don’t know what to do with her this season. Kimiko was a little on the backburner last episode and Ryan is being turned into a little, mini Homelander which is about to be super terrifying. Frenchie turned himself into the police…hate that. That is where we left off last week, what better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than watching The Boys Season 4 Episode 6.

Anime Expo
This year I am going to my first Anime Expo. There are a lot of cons coming up and I am going to be very busy towards the next few months and Anime Expo kicks off my con season. As I have just recently started getting into anime I don’t know a lot of the shows and manga that have panels going on but I am using this as an opportunity to learn about some new things and find my next hyperfixation. I will be pretty busy on Saturday and on Sunday I do just get to kind of wander the convention floor and see if there is anything that I want to spend money on. But you know that I really love to share my convention schedules with you guys so here is my Anime Expo plan!

Delicious in Dungeon
As you might know I am still getting into anime. It's not something I watch often because I hate English dubs and I like to multi-task which I can’t do when I have to read the screen. That said, I have been watching some of the anime available on Netflix and I stumbled upon one called Delicious in Dungeon. I fell in love with it immediately and proceeded to binge watch 24 episodes in 2 days. The show is a delightful blend of dungeons and dragons and a cooking show. It’s funny, smart, creative and I truly cannot recommend it enough. So if you are also an anime novice I think that this show is a really good place to start, it's short, it's fun and unlike some of the other ones I recommended for beginners it doesn’t get too intense.

House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3. This is where the internet (at least the side of it that has read Fire and Blood) believes that Rhaenys is going to die. That said, the last episode really didn’t do much to progress the actual war part of this war so I suppose we will see. Honestly I think what made Game of Thrones so compelling was the political conversations and moves being made, that occasionally led to battle. But House of the Dragon really isn’t doing much of either. They seem to be spending more time on the interpersonal relationships of each side which were not relevant parts of the book at all. Alicent isn’t even mentioned for like 100 pages of the dance so why am I seeing her so much? Anyway just further proof that the writing team doesn’t understand their source material.
