Ep82: Rings of Power Finale! Manga Spotlight! Mephisto Rumors! Superman + Red Hulk! Quantumania & Majors/Kendrick Appreciation!

Sensational She-Geek, Live from Yancy Street!

After taking a brief break to settle in to my new schedule, I'm back with a loaded baked potato of an episode this week! Podnotes to follow along with this episode at your leisure: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep82-rings-of-power-finale-mephisto-rumors-superman-red-hulk-quantumania-majorskendrick-appreciation-she-hulk-finale

The News begins (0:06:05) with some recent "IRL" tidbits, before getting into the juicy rumors, aka Sacha Baron Cohen 13:05 possibly playing Mephisto in Iron Heart! Plus some good Blade Director rumors, too! If you haven't heard it yet, Henry Cavill IS back in Black Adam (0:19:13), Harrison Ford IS the new Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (0:21:50), and Barbarella (0:29:01) has been cast as Sidney Sweeney!

Unfortunately, the live-action Zatanna (0:31:15) project was pushed off of HBO, but I feel like it's a good thing Marvel has a movie slow-down (34:39), pushing back a number of MCU films. Then there's Matt Reeves Batman (0:38:30) villains plans! Fianlly, my thoughts on the (FINALLY) Quantumania Trailer (0:40:56), and brief note of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (0:48:09), coming November 15th.

This week's spotlight manga is none other than Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (49:48), by Coolkyousinnjya, creator of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying and Komori-san Can't Decline. This one is a manga AND anime, is full of girl love, and I can't recommend it enough!

A handful of comics Picks (0:57:21) from the past few weeks prelude this week's comic Pulls (1:00:14), which includes an impressive amount of indie kick-offs! It's a great time to get into indie comics, for real.

I admit I have a less-than-pleased She-Hulk Finale review (1:04:44), but almost definitely for reasons you won't expect. If we get a season two, I hope the (new?) showrunners allow SOMETHING of the comics to have an influence on the plot or characters. Something. Anything.

But in greater news, the Rings of Power Finale 1:12:20 was even better than I was hoping! The Harfoots! Halbrand! The Stranger! The Witches? Galadriel! Celebrimbor! SAURON! This was such a satisfyingly watch, changes be-damned. I loved this, and I'm super excited for the next four seasons!

The Halloween Yancy Street Special should be out within the week, on Satana, otherwise keep an eye out for episode 83, coming at the turn of the month!
