Troy: Fall of a City Review
![]() |
Achilles |
Netflix does a good job recapturing the tale of Troy, from Homer and the Greek Myths. This time they were able to add various facets that haven't been seen before.
For the first time, we are able to see the events that took place in the background (that's if you have not read the Myths). The roles the gods played in the lives of important men in both armies, along with the various little engagements some minor characters played in the story that brought it to head. These events were not shown in Troy, 2004's rendition of the same story. The casting was a bit surprising as different characters were given a racial revision.
However, it is plagued with some poor acting and display at times as certain themes are repeated one too many times; the position Paris had put Troy in by surviving and coming back, the need to constantly show how "reckless" he is. The show even renders Priam and Agamemnon (main characters) to become less important, by making more subtle than they're supposed to be and generally feels dragged on for too long.
To be honest, it's just okay, if you have free time on your hands? Well, enjoy! - 5/10.
Miscellaneous
Odysseus is fun to watch, as is Achilles
Helen of Troy was properly explored along with other characters. I mentioned Helen because she seemed to be the centre or cause of the war but it was never shown how she felt about the entire event.

God of War Review
![]() |
Kratos and Atreus |
Santa Monica does something developers of franchises from the previous console generation couldn't - continue a franchise in the next console generation and manufacture a masterpiece while at it. Futile efforts from Gears of War, Halo Franchises et al have been met with mixed reviews and reactions from the most fervent fans, however, this developer chose to change the status quo and thus redefine who Kratos is, simply by evolution. Kratos, a previous one note, un-relatable and always enraged character has been reshaped. On a journey to fulfil the dying wishes of his wife, now in Scandinavia, our demigod with his son, Atreus, finds himself internally conflicted. This journey shakes Kratos' reality, as he sees what may become of his child if he doesn't guide him as a father, but how will he be able to? He had no father of his own to do the same. This is not an experience to scratch off the Bucket List, but an avenue for Kratos to rediscover his humanity.
The Norse mythos lives and breathes in this very-detailed constructed world, where interaction and exploration spurs an innate sense of discovery. God of War returns to its aggressive, visceral and scenic combat, but with a slight alteration; the third-person/shoulder camera gives a very direct view to the combat (which is now very grounded and tactical) couple with a purposeful RPG progression system for both Kratos and Atreus.
The seamless, no-cut feature (no loading screens) allows you to enjoy the story, making you soak up everything - the adventures and bonding of a father and son, to the myriad of ensemble characters and villain with their various motivations.
God of War shakes up the entire industry to own up to its mistakes of regurgitating old themes, creating large titles that are actually empty. It shows that linear titles with a focus on story, deep character interactions and a decent gameplay mechanics are still a meaningful medium. It may lose longtime fans, but that's their loss.
In what is tentatively a reboot, we have never seen this kind of character development, and they say you can't change the past - 10/10.

Lost in Space Review
![]() |
Lost in Space |
After crash-landing on an alien planet, the Robinson family fight against all odds to survive and escape, but they're surrounded by hidden dangers.
Netflix's Lost in Space is the retaking of the 1998 movie of the same name; a modern take on the same subject matter, telling a story about a family, The Robinson's, who join the exodus to leave Earth after colliding with the "Christmas Star."
A compelling family drama nonetheless, with intricate world-building, the effects hold up quite nicely too. Another good thing about the show is its innate ability to lead you to finding your way about the show with the subtle clues it reveals. The writers did well, by allowing you get to know each of the characters with a few flashbacks that show the individual conflicts that they posses underneath.
The villain, Dr. Smith was given too many chances and should've been gotten rid off as early as possible. Dr. Smith as a character lacked depth (in terms of her backstory) as her only motivation is survival.
It's a properly shelled out piece of work which the entire family can enjoy - 7/10.

Sebastian Stan Keen to Play a Part in the Black Widow Movie
![]() |
Sebastian Stan |
The entire cast of Avengers: Infinity War is on their way around the world promoting the movie. However, Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier) took some time out to answer a few questions from Italian publication Bad Taste, about the Black Widow movie.
When asked if he would be interested in finding out more about that part of Bucky's story he answered, "Yeah, absolutely! Of course! I mean, anytime I’m ready."
"They have a very nice history in my opinion. It’s very intricate. The truth is he actually taught her in the comic books. He was a teacher to her. It’s all set during a specific, interesting time. The Cold War. It’s all a very spy thriller-ish, noir-ish story. It would be very interesting to explore that on film. I would love if the do that. You know, I hope. Maybe they will." He added after being asked about their most recent interaction in Captain America: Civil War, where she says to him: "You could at least recognise me."
Considering the busy schedule of the MCU calendar, Black Widow will probably be here Summer 2020 with Jac Schaeffer tapped in to direct and Scarlett Johannsson supervising the project as a producer.

John Boyega In Talks With Marvel
![]() |
John Boyega |
Boyega has confirmed that he is in talks with Marvel Studios, although details of the character he will play in the MCU have not been revealed, but that doesn't stop us from speculating. The first character he is suspected to play is Blade, but he himself has reneged, saying that Blade will always be for Wesley Snipes.
The second is Doctor Voodoo, who would make a very good villain for Doctor Strange in the sequel, seeing as Scott Derrickson, the director of Doctor Strange, comments on his relationship with Kaecilius, a villain from the movie.
The most exciting speculation puts him within the sights of the highly successful Black Panther movie's sequel, an unknown character at this point, but his Nigerian roots might be responsible for this speculation. In whatever way he comes into the MCU, we will embrace him into the fold.His brother Daniel was killed by Kaecilius, so what do you think? https://t.co/xu5CHUmFPw— Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson) March 2, 2017
