I can sense the cries of outrage already and frankly, it makes no difference to me whether you agree or disagree because in my mind, nothing deters my belief that season two of Agent Carter was the greatest achievement in superhero television this past year (so far) - much to my surprise and delight as a fan of the character.
X-Men: Apocalypse has arrived in theatres and the general reaction has been rather muted, with the liveliest responses being credited to a genuinely strong performance from Michael Fassbender, the ridiculous over the top nature of Oscar Isaac’s villain and what has to be the oddest, most nonsensical chronology in any film universe ever.
It would seem that fans and critics alike have come to a unanimous consensus that while season two of The Flash was entertaining, it was nowhere near as good as its confident debut. This year, the show lost some of its initial charm that made it such an immediate draw due to some messy plotting in the first half of the season, the unfair but very real comparisons made between this year’s villain Zoom and last year's big bad the Reverse Flash, and the feeling that The Flash was maybe skittering a little too close to Arrow’s melodramatic tone.
