Today the first episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's "WandaVision" dropped. Having conquered movies, the MCU is now moving to television, particularly Disney+. WandaVision is just the first MCU show of several that are already in the works, including "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and "What If?". These moves represent Disney's consolidation of the Marvel television properties, grabbing them out of the hands of other platforms such as Netflix. So let's take a closer look at the first episode:

Marvel Movie Reflections, Issue 19: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
This was my second viewing of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse". I remember liking it the first time, but I didn't remember a ton of specifics. Going into it, I expected to have fun on my rewatch and find a few things to write about when I was done.

Welcome back to another issue of Redemption Spoilers. Without further ado, let's get started.
The ‘Thick’ Ally Leadership Deck
I’m not sure about you, but Marvel Champions has definitely been my game of choice during this pandemic. I love the difference in styles between each character and am always looking for new decks that change the way a hero plays or feels on the board. For me, the aspect that invites the most creativity is Leadership. The Ant-Man hero pack gave us the biggest change up in terms of an aspect’s card list by handing us some incredible upgrades that take the aspect away from simply flooding your board with allies to use and defend with. A theme that I have seen on social media forums and chats has been around how its now possible to build ‘Thick’ allies that are maxed out with multiple upgrades, and this got me thinking – is it possible to build a deck centered around a single ally? Probably… so here we go then!
Staring Over the Horizon in Despair at the Pit of Carkoon – A Quick Look & Reflection at the Wild Horizon Leak
I have never felt as close to walking away from Star Wars: Destiny as I did last Saturday (January 2nd 2021). Not even when the game was officially cancelled. The stealth way that whomever currently has the controls of the FFG Organized play social media account released the news that there would no rearranged World Championships and nor would Wild Horizons be released in the Echoes of Destiny event kits. This deserved a proper website announcement, because the players, their customers, often across multiple games, deserve that. I completely understand the business reasons for it and I am sure most people do and we all should have had the courtesy extended to us that our patronage has merited. The pandemic is not something anyone could, in all honestly, have predicted and especially not how paralyzing it has been, especially to things such as organized play.
