The evil is almost defeated. The evil being Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments TV series on Freeform & Netflix. Now that the series is in its endgame with its final two episodes on the horizon, I am here to make a plea to anyone and everyone who will listen: Leave The Mortal Instruments series alone.
Live TV musicals were the norm back in the day, but for our generation they were revived in 2013 with NBC’s live production of The Sound of Music.
Since then, TV networks have joined in the live musical frenzy.
The good thing about live TV musicals is that they give people who may not have the privilege a chance to watch live stage productions.
The bad thing about live TV musicals…well…sometimes they just don’t hit the mark with fans. (And trust me, musical theatre nerds are SAVAGE.)

If it hasn’t already been made crystal clear to you from my previous posts, I am a Marvel stan through and through. Even so, I do have a soft spot for some DC content from time to time.
In my opinion, Gotham is by far the best thing DC has going for it in terms of its television shows.

Other than that, I don’t watch any of the other Arrow-verse programs…With the exception of the yearly crossover episodes.)

I have always loved superheros. As a kid, my Saturday mornings weren’t complete without watching Batman: The Animated Series, Teen Titans (FYI: Teen Titans GO! slander will not be tolerated on this blog. Put some respek on this show.), Spider-Man and so on. I also vaguely remember seeing the first X-Men, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four films in theatres.
It wasn’t until 2008 that I became a Marvel super-fan. I remember seeing Iron Man in theatres and being absolutely gobsmacked. Not only was that film the beginning of my love for Robert Downey Jr., it was the beginning of my all consuming love for Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Does anyone else feel like they have been hoodwinked…but, like…in a good way?
Just when we thought it was the end for Rick Grimes – BOOM.
PLOT TWIST.
HE’S ALIVE.
Even though I’m relieved Rick will live to see another day (this seems like a good time to mention the helicopter. WHAT. IS. THE. DEAL?!), there are some huge changes coming our way.
