The Episode: In anticipating today's final episode, I was excited. Episode 9 was filled with new bits of information and major confrontations, and a goodly amount of Richard Armitage as Logan, doing some exciting fighting and growling. I put aside my distaste for a Logan that could so blithely do things that are so morally … Continue reading Wolverine #10 & Series: Disappointing
Wolverine: The Long Night
Wolverine #9: “Richard…Growl Differently!”
Without giving much away, this episode is very exciting and fast-paced, if somewhat gruesome. Much of what has been unknown is revealed. Logan/Wolverine (Richard Armitage) is much more present, appearing three times in the episode. I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of horrible people in the town of Burns, Alaska. Logan, … Continue reading Wolverine #9: “Richard…Growl Differently!”
Wolverine #8: Richard “was struggling.”
Well, apparently not in this episode, since Wolverine is only in it for about a minute. But so it was said in this week's instalment of The Marvel After Show. More about that later. Despite the lack of Armitage, this episode of Wolverine: The Long Night is a bit more interesting. There's a bit of a twist … Continue reading Wolverine #8: Richard “was struggling.”
Wolverine #7: “Twilight” Alum Caught up in Richard’s Monologue
Yes, this episode has an Armitage monologue, but there are still only 2 ½ minutes of him in #7... well, other than some claws and snarling in the background of one other scene. Thinking back, I'd be surprised if we had even 15 minutes total of Armitage scenes in the whole seven episodes to date. … Continue reading Wolverine #7: “Twilight” Alum Caught up in Richard’s Monologue
Wolverine #6: “Armitage is… a voice box with legs!”
It's been an exhausting week, but I wanted to post some thoughts about episode 6 of Wolverine: The Long Night before I listen to the next one on Monday. On The Marvel After Show, Ato Essandoh (Agent Marshall) describes "Armitage [as] just like one big vocal resonator... All he is is like a voice box … Continue reading Wolverine #6: “Armitage is… a voice box with legs!”
Wolverine #5: Richard Armitage Speaks and Rolls on the Floor
**Minor Spoilers** So, finally, we are treated to some more substantial dialogue for Richard Armitage in Wolverine: The Long Night. His parts of the episode are really good. He is definitely a master of vocal disguise -- I believe that I would not have recognized this gruff-voiced, snarly North American guy, if I didn't already know who … Continue reading Wolverine #5: Richard Armitage Speaks and Rolls on the Floor
This… I Did Not Like
**SPOILERS** Fourth episode of Wolverine: The Long Night and very little of the title character. Plus, some really disturbing scenes. To me, this is an episode that can be skipped without missing much. About one minute in, a hunter describes seeing, "...a man, naked, without a stitch on him, not even boots..." and we hear a … Continue reading This… I Did Not Like
A MARVELous Start to the Week
It was a pretty good day for a Monday. I started the day in the car listening to the third episode of Marvel's Wolverine: The Long Night. I'm continuing to enjoy it, as they weave in more characters, more details, and more pieces of the puzzle. Once again, there is only a snippet of Richard … Continue reading A MARVELous Start to the Week
Wolverine: The Long Night
I took the plunge and signed up for Stitcher Premium, so that I could listen to Marvel's new scripted podcast, Wolverine: The Long Night, starring Richard Armitage as Wolverine (a.k.a Logan). The first two episodes dropped on Monday, and they are really well done. This is essentially a police crime drama, swirling around encounters with Logan, a man … Continue reading Wolverine: The Long Night
What I’m Missing
Boy, that Armitage is a busy guy! There are so many projects coming out that that I really want to watch or listen to. The problem is, though, that this is also my busiest time at work. Home has been pretty hectic too, with driving to hockey, homework issues, and an out-of-town guest. And then, … Continue reading What I’m Missing
