SpiderMan vs. SuperGirl vs. He-Man – who WINS?

/ MB / Leave a comment

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “this is a power match-up post where we’re going to figure out who the strongest is out of these three.” And – that’s a great idea! We’ll get into that towards the end, but for now let me tell you which of their MOVIES ranks 1, 2, and 3.

I just FINALLY got to see SpiderMan: Brand New Day a few days ago and I absolutely LOVED IT! The vibes, the coloring, the editing, the soundtrack, Mr. Milchick, Tom Holland’s thicker accent, and SADIE SINK! I had read all of the theories as to who Sadie Sink could possibly be playing and I was hoping that she was playing who she ended up playing! I have several music video ideas already.

The highlight to me for the movie was the theme – the theme of accepting your growing up as not something bad but something necessary and just a part of life – I loved that. And also, the importance of not doing it alone even if you’re capable of doing it alone.

Not to mention the performances from literally every member of the cast. The subtle maturity of Zendaya’s MJ, the quiet strength of Tom’s Peter Parker, the fragility of the Punisher’s own healing journey, the tense pain just barely under control within Sadie Sink’s character – and all of the side actors who performed so brilliantly. Literally 10/10!!!

Sounds like Spiderman ranks in at number 1 then, yeah? Not necessarily.

Let’s talk now about He-Man himself from Master’s of the Universe!

I’d never seen anything of He-Man before – I only knew a bit of the old art and a few of the memes. But, even I could tell that this movie was a huge love letter to the original fans of the original He-Man. I felt that Nicholas Galitzine did an amazing job of bringing Adam to life on the big screen. And Jared Leto too – hands down the best role he’s ever played!

I absolutely LOVED it! The action, the colors, the real-ness, the un-realness, the story progression, the acting, the soundtrack, the character arcs, and of course the humor. I laughed at this movie so hard – and then I cried! That is phenomenal! And then – I wanted to go workout and get super super strong! As a writer you couldn’t ask for a better reaction from a fan.

If I had to distill the theme/message of this movie it would be that – niceness/kindness does not equal weakness, and true strength comes from true compassion – and also, be yourself, you’re stronger than you know!

Again, a great movie, a great theme, super fun and really just a 10 outta 10 experience!

“So, that must be number 1 then?” you say, but let’s not be too hasty. I haven’t gotten to talk about Supergirl yet!

As a Marvel girl, Supergirl (being part of the DC world) was never really in my sphere. I didn’t know much about her, other than her name, and I wasn’t sure if I would gel with her personality, backstory, or anything really. But, my goodness she was the best! Milly Alcock did just the best job with Supergirl (I think!), absolutely the best!

Genuinely, the movie was funny, heavy, and healing. The soundtrack was outstanding and well utilized. The costuming and coloring made sense and all of the action felt real, not over-the-top superhero ridiculous, but just real. It was funny, it was sad, it was relatable, it was tragic, it was hopeful. At the end of the day it was about a girl protecting her dog and younger “sister” from bad men.

And, I’m gonna get into a little bit of spoilers here for this one because I just can’t help myself! So, skip over this part if you don’t want any SPOILERS. Scroll past the Superman gif, and you’ll be safe!

I really loved that panning shot from the final fight where the camera is focused on Ruthye, the younger “sister” character, as Supergirl is flying around and protecting her. There’s explosions and shrapnel and everything’s moving so fast, but the camera is slow. The music is slow. The moment is slow. Ruthye is slow – and Supergirl is fast. And the sooooong!! This was the moment in the movie that made me breakdown. They played a cover of The Middle by Jimmy Eat World during this moment and it was so fitting, so perfect, so poignant that I just sobbed. Even now, just thinking about it makes me want to cry.

I also loved how they dealt with the killing the bad guy, revenge dilemma. Because there are these bad men, and one in particular, who are just committing crime after crime and leaving dead and wounded bodies in their wake wherever they go. The younger sister character, Ruthye, wants to kill the villain for murdering her family. Supergirl convinces her not too, not because he doesn’t deserve it, but because it would be bad for her to do it. Supergirl convinces Ruthye to walk away, not promising her that she would kill him, just getting Ruthye to walk away for the sake of her own soul – and then Supergirl kills him herself. She saves the little girl from having to do something that would’ve haunted her for the rest of her life but still delivers a just sentence to the villain. It made her much more Punisher-esque and Iron-Man-esque than Batman-esque and I liked that.

Alright, spoilers over. Here’s your SuperMan gif. (btw – I can never remember should the -girl and -man be capitalized in superhero names? idk…)

I could go on and on about this movie and the other two above it – but I’ll wrap it up for you here. Suffice it to say this one was another 10 out of 10 movie!

So – that’s a brief snapshot of the three movies. And now for my ranking! Starting at the bottom, coming in at number three, we have…

SpiderMan: Brand New Day!

In second, snapping up the spectacular silver medal for Superhero movies of 2026 we have…

Masters of the Universe!

Which means that SUPERGIRL is our reigning champion winning the coveted GOLD MEDAL ranking at NUMBER 1 in my very official, never to be challenged, iron-clad, Hollywood approved ranking system.

Now – who would win in a fight – honestly, I think the two boys would agree that there’s no need to fight each other when they could just talk things out, and Supergirl would be too bored to even engage. So, it would be a draw.

Let me know in the comments below what you’re ranking of these three movies would be and who you think would win in a fight between Supergirl, Spiderman and He-Man.

Ciao!

TOP Movies of 2026 (first up – IRON LUNG)

/ MB / Leave a comment

2026 has been a pretty good year for movies so far, if I do say so myself.

We started out the year SUPER strong with Markiplier’s self-produced/written/directed/acted/distributed/marketed box office hit Iron Lung and what a way to start the year!

Atmospheric, scary, spooky, immersive, thought-provoking, adrenaline-pumping, horror – I could not be more impressed with Mr. Markiplier. Not only did he have to do everything himself, he out-earned his budget by a mile and became the number one movie in America opening weekend. With a budget of under 5 million, the whopping 51 million worldwide meant that the film was definitely a success.

And, for those of you that don’t know – let me just break it down for you a little bit.

Markiplier is a YouTuber, most famous for his scary games let’s plays. Iron Lung is an indie game developed by David Szymanzki, that Markiplier played, loved, and acquired movie adaption rights for via DM (initially.) Mark then proceeded to write, film, fund, and edit the entire project, even going so far as to convert his own home bathroom into a render farm to get the job done, over the next couple of years.

Once filming and a majority of the editing had been completed, he began the official process of shopping the finished product around to companies for an official theatrical release – a process that fell on deaf ears. After nearly a year (could’ve been slightly more or less) of no success, he decided to just go directly to the movie theaters himself for the release.

Initially it was only supposed to release in a handful of theaters for one weekend. But Markiplier urged his fanbase that if they wanted the movie to come to a theater near them, to then reach out to their local movie theaters and request the film.

The response was massive and immediate.

By the time release day rolled around the film had gone from a handful theaters to over 4,161. And not just in local indie theaters , but in the massive chains ones such as AMC, Regal, and Cinemark. And not just for one weekend but for almost 4 weeks.

Markiplier proved something huge. Fans want to go to the movies. And they want to see real art by real artists. The movie theaters aren’t dying out – the fans just aren’t interested in boring budget bloated remakes. Give them something new, something interesting, something with heart and soul, something made by humans who actually care about what they’re doing – and fans will be there.

Overall, I give Iron Lung a 10 out of 10! I genuinely can’t think of what he could’ve done better that he didn’t do. All I can say is that I hope that he continues to make movies and I am so excited and can’t wait for them when he does. He’s working on the DVD’s for Iron Lung right now, and I can’t wait!

And, Iron Lung wasn’t the only good movie this year!

Stick around and I’ll share my other 2026 favorites so far in more posts.

Ciao!

“General Kenobi!”

It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted over here and I am so sorry about that!

In all honesty, my perfectionism took over and made it really difficult for me to post anything that wasn’t “perfect!”

BUT!

I’ve missed you guys. I’ve missed this. And I’ve got a lot that I want to talk about!

So, stay tuned for some messy – not perfect posts about random stuff.

Road Trip Essentials (Fallout Style)

/ MB / Leave a comment

Lucy and Ghoul may be on a road trip, and they may be limited to what they can and cannot bring with them. But, in a perfect world, these are the roadtrip essentials that every human and ghoul should have with them.

#1: MUSIC! Whether it’s your own vocal cords, that retro cassette player, or Spotify, you cannot have a proper road trip without music. I personally have been fully enchanted by the sweet music of Lorien Testard and Alice Duport-Percier. I have not stopped playing the entire soundtrack of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 since my own personal discovery of the game in May of this year. Whether you’re Driving Home for Christmas (by Chris Rhea), off to stop the Paintress, or searching for your family in New Vegas, you canNOT travel without MUSIC.

#2: SNACKS! I know that Sugar Bombs, and Crispy Squirrel Bits are all the rage in the Wasteland, but personally I prefer Muddy Buddies and Slim Jims. Add in a couple of cups of iced coffee along the way, and I am one happy camper. 

And last, but most certainly not least…

#3: Emergency Supplies. Ghoul and Lucy would probably list their weapons as their most essential essentials, but for me I’m gonna have to list my fully-charged combo jump-starter and tire pressure pump, and a can of fixoflat.

Those are the top three road-trip essentials that everyone in every time and reality should always make sure to have with them. What are your, roadtrip essentials?

Don’t forget to stream Fallout Season 1 and new episodes of Season 2 weekly on Amazon Prime Video. 

The ABC Murders BOOK REVIEW

/ MB / Leave a comment

There is nothing quite so enjoyable as a good mystery.  Make that mystery a murder mystery and baby you’re really cooking with gas now!  There are arguably none that weave an intriguing web better than the late, the renowned, the respected Mrs. Agatha Christie.  She most certainly has that market cornered, bought and paid for complete with a little white picket fence and everything.

Whether you’re new to her novels or simply looking for a good re-read ABC Murder will satiate that detective’s palate of yours. 

It begins innocently, or should that be ominously enough, with our famed little mustachioed detective Monsieur Poirot receiving a fearsome correspondence.  One that promises that it’s writer, an enigmatic ABC, is up to grade-A-no-do-goodery.  And sure enough not too much later someone winds up dead.  A Mrs. A., in such-and-sucha town starting with A.  It could be a coincidence… sure… until a second letter is received… and a Miss B., in a different such-and-sucha town that starts with B, pops up dead a month later.  It’s a race against time to unmask and catch the killer before he or she reaches victim Z.

Christie does a magnificent job of plopping you down right smack dab into the middle of the emotional turmoil of each and every character, be they a victim, a relative, a detective or the murderer himself.  The book is made all the more horrifying when the modern reader is forced to realize that back at the time of its writing ‘serial killers’ were not so prevalent, and in fact, weren’t even really a thing at all.  Add to that the seemingly unconnected randomness of the victims and the alluded mental illness of the killer and you’ve got a really truly disturbing story.

But fret not.  This is not a horror story.  It is a detective novel.  And as such, there is a conclusion – and it is a satisfying one.  Without giving too much away, I’ll just say, “Ah, I see.  Of course.  It makes perfect sense. ”

What I really love about all of Agatha Christie’s novels is that they’re people books.  She doesn’t muck about with creating characters that are unrealistic.  She goes with the stereotypes, with the expected, with the corniness, and it is amongst these very commonplace characters, settings, and routines that the reader gets fooled into missing the murderer themselves.  Until Monsieur Poirot or another detective unveils them. 

I would definitely recommend this book.  Maybe not as a first foray into the works of Agatha Christie, for that I would have to recommend my own first which was And Then There Were None.  But as a first Poirot novel, it would do just fine. 

That’s the other thing about her books that I love – you can start anywhere and not feel lost. 

Each book is its own case and its own complete story, and there is just enough ambiguity about the genius detective throughout all of them to make the reader feel like they know him, while really not knowing much about him at all.  The little crumbs of his past that one does receive only serve to make the mysteries deeper and richer.

Comment below if you would like me to make a complete SPOILER-FILLED Review, where I would go into all the details of the book, including the identity of the killer.

Until next time, Ciao Bellas!

Lockwood & Co. BOOK REVIEWs for 3, 4, & 5, (aka The Hollow Boy, The Creeping Shadow, & The Empty Grave)

/ MB / Leave a comment

Like many other unfortunate souls I am a person who was not aware of the Lockwood & Co. books [written by a Mr. Jonathan Stroud] until the Netflix series [directed by a Mr. Joe Cornish and starring a Mr. Cameron Chapman as Anthony Lockwood, a Miss Ruby Stokes as Lucy Carlyle, and a Mr. Ali Hadji-Heshmati as George “Cubbins” Karim] debuted at the end of January this year, 2023.  Needless to say, I was immediately [ghost]locked to my screen for the next 8 hours (admittedly spread out over 2 to 3 nights), drinking in the moody British perfection like a good cuppa *Cameron Special* tea. 

Naturally, as soon as it was over (and I’d consumed it an additional 3 more times) it was necessary for me to purchase the books and read the three that the show had not covered.  I simply NEEDED to know – ‘What was behind that door?’, ‘What was the deal with all of those ghostlocked kids?’, ‘Would Norrie ever wake-up?’, ‘WHEN do Lucy & Lockwood kiss?’  Well, if you’ve read the books then you’ll know the answer (or lack thereof) to all of those questions.  And, if you haven’t read the books yet – then what are you waiting for??  Until the happy (delusional) news that some other network has picked up the show for a second season (fingers and toes crossed so hard over here!) the books are the only way to live that Portland Row life again.

All that being said, without much further ado, here are my SPOILER-FREE Snapshot Reviews of the last three Lockwood & Co. books.

THE HOLLOW BOY – An outbreak of Visitors in Chelsea has left London terrified, confined to their homes, and all of the psychical agencies spread thinner than a bit of butter stretched over too much bread.  The agents of Lockwood & Co. are no exception.  Drowning in work, an office manager is hired, but not everybody is happy about extremely pretty new addition.  Tensions and Talents rise in tandem with the danger of the cases, until everything bursts.  Truths emerge out of the wreckage, presenting one of our agents with a heartbreaking choice. 

In three words The Hollow Boy was:  Frustrating, Painful, Nail-Biting.  Seriously, the angst between all of the characters was so real that the FDA had to give an official consumption warning (not actually, of course, but if you know, you KNOW!).  I loved it!  I really, truly did, but the miscommunications, the passive-aggressiveness, the misunderstandings – really, it was very painful. 

THE CREEPING SHADOW – The Lockwood & Co. crew team up for one more case – that quickly turns into three or four.  A cannibal ghost, gangster humans, and a dark creeping shadow are just the headlines while the subtext reads delicate relationships, secret societies, and curious capes. Will the answers received be enough for the little agents that could, or will the new questions raised, set them up as the David against the Goliaths of their industry?

In three words The Creeping Shadow was:  Gross, “THANK-YOU!”, and “Oh-Ma-Gawd!”.  I mean, without spoiling too much, I will just say that the conversations (if you know, baby YOU KNOW!!), the twists (I mean that character always was a little suspicious to me so it wasn’t too much of a surprise, but STILL!), and the ghosts (that’s why the word Gross is being used here) … *clap**clap* trust me, multiple cups of tea were harmed (by me drinking them) in the reading of this book.

THE EMPTY GRAVE – Lockwood & Co. knows a secret that the rest of the world does not.  In this last adrenaline rush for the truth our heroes must battle Visitors, the press, and their own feelings.   With the future full of uncertainties, of one thing our agents are sure – the Problem must end.  One way or another.  For good.  

In three words The Empty Grave was:  Adrenaline-Spiking, Releasing-a-breath-that-you-DEFINITELY-knew-that-you-were-holding, and SATISFYING.  Just the memory of this book sets a person’s (this person, this one right here!) heart racing and their blood pumping whilst a casual giddy smile spreads across their face.  I was SOO HAPPY with the conclusion of this book.  I was terrified for a little bit there, I’m not gonna lie.  I was actually crying at the three-quarter mark… but then it all went … aaaaagh!  And all I can say now is that I wish there were more books!

AND MORE SHOW!!!  C’mon, someone please pick it up!  Please?!  I’ll bake a cake for you😝   (well, I’ll bake it for myself, I don’t know your address, but it’ll be in your honor!)

If you’d like to have a couple of major scenes spoiled for you, or if you’ve read the books and would simply like to see what those scenes could’ve looked like on screen, then you can head over to youtube to my fan channel to watch these fan music videos.

in defense of Dean Forester (a silly post by an old Supernatural fan and a new Gilmore Girls fan)

/ MB / 1 Comment

Hi there! Long title, wasn’t it?

I realize that I’m stepping in a hornets nest here. After all, a quick google search let me know that noooobody likes Dean Forester, and I’m gonna be absolutely honest with you – I’m new to Gilmore Girls! I’ve never seen it before, and I just started it last night, so I’ve only seen 14 episodes thus far haha! But, I think that there’s something very important that we all need to realize and accept about Mr. Dean Forester, and that is that … he does NOT exist! He is just Sam Winchester in disguise!

Hear me out! (I’m sure this joke has been made before, but please humor me!)

Little Sammy, as we all know, had a rough childhood. Growing up hunting monsters, ghosts, and demons, does not leave much time for your regular little league games and elementary school science fair projects that Sammy would have so enjoyed. We also know, that before the start of season 1 of Supernatural, Sam and his Dad, John Winchester, had a falling out which resulted in Sammy ‘running away’, so to speak, to attend college as a ‘normal’ kid, who was just estranged from his family for ‘normal’ reasons. We’re just gonna rewind the clock a bit and say that maybe his first stop was – Stars Hollow.

Now, there are a couple of options for how Sam Winchester could have ended up in Stars Hollow, and we’ll go through them each one by one.

  • First: This was the beginning of his ‘running away’ phase, where he split from Dean and John, attended high school and then eventually college, where he met Jess (his girlfriend Jess not Milo Ventimiglia’s Jess from later seasons of GG), and then the rest is history.
  • Second: Dean and John were working a particularly nasty case and they dropped Sammy off in Stars Hollow to hang out for awhile while they went off hunting.
  • Third: Sam was/is/always-has-been in Stars Hollow BECAUSE of a case with Dean and John.
  • Fourth: Stars Hollow was the location of Sammy’s first ever solo job.

Whichever event led to Sam ending up in Stars Hollow, all of “Dean Forester’s” mysteriousness, awkwardness, standoffishness, and toughness can be explained once we all realize and accept that “Dean Forester” doesn’t exist! Sam Winchester is just living a lie.

First now, lets explore the options of Sam Winchester being in Stars Hollow NOT on a job (either Sammy ran away or his brother & dad dropped him off). That would mean that we had a Sammy that was eager to re-invent himself. To leave the identity of Sam Winchester behind and become someone entirely new! Unfortunately, when they asked him for his name he, missing his brother, said “Dean. Dean – Forest, er. Forester. Dean Forester.” (cause c’mon, forester is a made up name [no offense to any foresters reading this hahaha]!!)

Equipped with his new name, “Dean” enrolls in high school, meets a pretty girl, and falls in love!

OR … Second, let’s explore the ‘being there on a job’ options. If he’s there on a job, the whole ‘attending high school’ thing is just a cover and not Sam trying to start a new life. The thought process for the name is probably the same though. His reasons for approaching Rory could also be the same – she was pretty, he liked her, he made a move, he fell in love. OR, it could be that there was something ‘haunting’ the Gilmore’s or the people around the Gilmore’s and so Sammy was just trying to get close to gank whatever monster it was.

Regardless of how he ended up in Stars Hollow things are far from perfect, as everything, but his feelings for Miss Rory Gilmore, is a complete and total lie.

It’s really sad when you think about it! He talks about how he has “sisters”, either in an attempt to disown his brother Dean, or as a secret inside joke that only he’ll be able to laugh about now that he’s all alone. Then later, he talks about his Mom, and how she cooks dinner for his Dad every night, painting the picture of a perfect Leave It To Beaver style family – that little Sammy Winchester never had. 😥

Then, there’s the dance episode! “Dean” tells Rory that he ‘doesn’t go to dances’ – of course he doesn’t, because he’s never done any of those normal, usual, teenage school things! He seems very uncomfortable dressing up in formal wear – of course he would! The Winchester’s wear leather jackets and jeans. That’s it! Then, there’s the confrontation with Tristan. Sam, aka “Dean”, tells Tristan, ‘I’m not fighting you’, and ‘you don’t wanna fight me… cause I’ll kill you, idiot.’, and as we know for Sam Winchester that is a one hundred percent true statement! Sammy Winchester is MORE than capable of absolutely destroying anyone in Stars Hollow. Being raised with a Glock under your pillow will do that to a person.

I haven’t gotten to the bits where it all falls apart for Rory and “Dean”, but I’m sure that when it all does, it will be symptomatic of the classic Winchester ‘push-away’ routine, of needing to be on the move, and keeping people at a distance so that they don’t get hurt, traumatized, and/or killed. “Dean” would have to/will end things with Rory, maybe (quite probably) even be a bit of an ass about it, to protect Rory Gilmore from the Winchester curse. (which typically involves a lot of death!)

Other proof that “Dean” is just Sam Winchester in disguise:

1: on movie night he buys the Gilmore gals pizza and grabs a salad for himself – a very healthy Sam Winchester thing to do! 2: the leather jacket – do I even need to explain about the leather jackets? 3: the swagger. Winchester’s have swagger. 4: “Dean” is sensitive just like Sammy, but also not to be pushed around (him talking to Lorelai on that first movie night about how ‘he’s not going anywhere’ and ‘I need you to like me’, boy was he a lot braver in that moment than I expected him to be!).

Imma wrap it up here… maybe I’ll add more thoughts into the comment section of this post as I continue watching. Cause, like I said, I’m new to Gilmore Girls and I’m only 14 episodes into the first season – but I’m loving it! And as an OG Supernatural fan and especially a fan of the Real Dean Winchester, I felt it was my duty to point out that “Dean Forester’s” flaws exist because “Dean Forester” does not exist – Sam Winchester does!

Talk to y ‘all’s later!

Who is Kas? STRANGER THINGS Theory

/ MB / 2 Comments

There will be SPOILERS in this post for Stranger Things seasons 1 – 4… so, if you have not seen the show and intend to get caught up on it, then please, refrain from reading further until you have seen it.

Are you ready now?

Good.

Then, let’s begin…

There is a lot of speculation online that Joseph Quinn’s character from Stranger Things, Eddie Munson, will be making a comeback in Stranger Things season 5 as the D&D vampire baddie Kas, a long time servant and eventual betrayer of villain Vecna, played onscreen chillingly by Jamie Campbell Bower.

Now, as someone who has only played D&D once (and that was in a star wars style campaign), my only knowledge of Kas the Bloody-Handed comes from friends, google searches, and fan theories. However, based on the brief description of his character above we can theorize as to which Stranger Things character best fits him.

#1: Eddie Munson

As I’ve already said, Eddie Munson is the popular candidate for Kas. Not soley because fans desperately want to see him back, myself included, but for a number of valid reasons.

  • Reason number 1: he was killed by upside-down bats. Maybe those bats didn’t kill him, they simply turned him into a vampire who’s now subservient to Vecna.
  • Reason number 2: Steve mentions vampires. When theorizing with Eddie & co. about who Vecna really is Steve brings up ‘vampires’. A moment that earns him some eyerolls, but they’ve never mentioned vampires before – and in previous seasons when a creature from d&d (such as zombies) is brought up, we’ve been almost guaranteed to see an upside-down version of that creature within the next season.
  • Reason number 3: Jamie Campbel Bower and Joseph Quinn have been doing a lot of press together. Now, that could mean nothing – or it could mean that they’re hanging out cause they’ll be having lots of scenes together next season…

#2: Steve Harrington

Steve Harrington is an extremely viable candidate for Kas and here’s why.

  • Reason number 1: Those bats! Just like Eddie, Steve gets attacked and gnawed on by those pesky upside-down bats. Robin makes a big rambly deal about ‘infections’ and ‘rabies’, which is all valid and understandable – but these are upside-down bats. Maybe instead of rabies they ‘infect’ their victims with vampirism!
  • Reason number 2: again – those vampire references. Those casual references to vampires could’ve just as easily been pointing to Steve as to Eddie.
  • Reason number 3: it would just suck! Steve Harrington has become a fan favorite over the years (he’s definitely a favorite of mine!) and it would be just the punch in the gut that fans would hate but not be too surprised by.

But honestly – I think we’ve ALREADY seen Kas…

#3: Billy Hargrove

Yes, you read that right, Billy. I think that Billy Hargrove was/is Kas – and here’s why.

  • Reason #1: Flayed. While not being a vampire, Billy did get flayed, which had him stumbling around like one of the undead. Zombies are the walking dead, but vampires are the undead. So, while all the rest of the flayed were zombies, there’s no reason that Billy couldn’t have been a vampire…
  • Reason #2: Betrayal. Right at the end, before Billy dies, Eleven manages to get through to him. When the Mind Flayer (who we now know was/is Vecna too) attacks, Billy stops it, saving El’s life and buying them all enough time to close the gate once and for all and (they think) kill it.
  • Reason number #3: “Kas killed him!” In the beginning of season 4, when they’re playing D&D with Eddie and he reveals that Vecna is alive, Mike shouts “No, Kas killed him!” Which is what everyone thought at the end of the previous season, that Billy had helped them ‘kill’ the Mind Flayer aka Vecna. Unfortunately, for Billy and all of us, Vecna lived.

There are two other options for who Kas could be

#a1 – Eleven

The line “Kas killed him!” could also be referring to how Eleven ‘killed’ 001 aka Henry aka Vecna back in the past, after having been manipulated to follow him and then learning the truth and turning on him.

#a2 – Will

Will, much like Billy, was mentally controlled by the Mind Flayer, aka Vecna… he too was cold like the dead, totally subservient to the mind flayer, and in the end turned against him… well – was forced to turn against him. It’s possible that Will could have both been Kas in season 2 and be him even more in the upcoming season 5…

I feel like I’m getting lost, so I’m going to put a pin in it here.🤣

What do you think? Do you think we’ll see Eddie Munson again as Kas the Bloody-Handed or do you think Steve Harrington will be that unfortunate soul? Or, do you think that we’ve already seen Kas in Billy Hargrove? What sort of superpowers do you think Will will have in season 5? Do you think Will will go bad for a bit? Also… who do you think will die in the end?

Let me know!

Ciao!

Happy to Report… !!!

/ MB / Leave a comment

I am happy to report that the first draft for that new novel I was working on is COMPLETE!!

I can’t believe it!

It took me a total of 10 days. 😲

It just goes to show what good planning and dedicated writing time can achieve. 🙂

So, Writing Tip PRO:

DO plan out your entire book, from beginning to end.

DO write out the synopsis first thing.

DO set aside dedicated writing time. (At least a good 4 to 5 hour chunk at the same time every day!)

DO decide on your goal finish date and word count total. Then, figure out what that daily word count total is – and work your darndest to achieve and or surpass that daily goal every day.

DO say ‘F*** it!’ to that little voice in your head that says ‘should we really write that?’ and just write whatever you want! (It’s the first draft after all, so the most important thing is just getting those words on the paper/screen.)

DO write The End when you FEEL that it’s the end, even if you haven’t reached the ‘complete book’ word count goal you’d set for yourself at the beginning. This first draft is the skeleton of your book, during edits you can go back through and add things like flesh, hair, and clothes. 🙂

Happy Writing everyone! 😀
