I'm making my way through Umbrella Academy (on Netflix), and but after a promising first episode, the pace is too often dragging.
In particular, I find it really starts to get more tedious whenever the two "sisters" are featuring heavily. I realised this last night - the male members of this superhero family are all distinctive and interesting in their own oddball ways, and really make the females (especially mopey face Ellen Page) seem very dull in comparison.
Of course, it will probably turn out that Vanya will have a secret power that is, like, really powerful. But gee, she is written as a dull character. As is her sister.
On the other hand, I am amused to see that culture warrior-ing against Captain Marvel has gotten nowhere, with the movie probably already over $500 million within days of release. I might go see it, even though reviews are a little mixed. As with all silly superhero stuff, my main question is: is it funny enough?
