"Halloween Ends" Thoughts.
So it's been a couple of weeks since this movie came out now and the reactions were shocking. Now I would not call this a review, but I had to give my thoughts on this movie and how polarizing it was. I really enjoyed what Davis Gordon Green has done with these movies I wasn't sure what was gonna come of them when I heard he would be making two more after Halloween 2018. I really liked what they all did to this Halloween movie especially. With the franchise coming back from the dead I was excited to see these characters return. I never thought we'd ever see Jaime lee Curtis do another one of these movies again. So seeing her back for these was a real treat. Even though there were some issues I had with "Kills" I still found it entertaining. At the end of the day, it was a good trilogy.

The Lean-in Feminism of 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law'
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was meant to be a meta-textual, feminist deconstruction of the MCU, and in some ways, it succeeds with this goal. Whether it's referencing Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist or jokes about women in the workplace, there are plenty of progressive nuggets for viewers to mine.

The 'She-Hulk' Finale's Retro Introduction Is Actually An Easter Egg Linking Back To The Character's Origins
Throughout the series, She-Hulk: Attorney-At-Law was not afraid to go against the norm, making fun of itself, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. This is especially true in the show's first season finale, during which Jennifer Walters smashes the fourth wall and escapes into Marvel Studios in search of a better ending.
