G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305

The two big reveals to come out of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305 is that Serpentor Khan has already double-crossed Revanche and that the Zartan who  Destro and the Baroness have been talking with is not the real Zartan. The combination of the mutated Cobra faction and Revanche makes for a formidable force. The question of how the Joes would take them down seems to have answered itself with the new Serpentor’s actions taking an important step for them which will no doubt lead to the two factions turning on each other and likely their defeat.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur - Belly of the Beast

After working through some issues over the pair getting on each other’s nerves, Lunella (Diamond White) and Casey (Libe Barer) work together to save Devil after he accidentally injects one of Moon Girl’s new experiments. “Belly of the Beast” wears the moral of the episode on its sleeve with the Innerspace-style adventure allowing for some action not caused by the pair’s bickering. In the end, talking things out and working together help heal the rift in pair’s friendship (although, notably, neither take much effort to apologize to Devil who not only has to awkwardly stay still while the girls investigate inside him but also misses out on several favorite treats.

Spider-Man - The Menace of Mysterio

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. Basing some of the events of the episode off of Amazing Spider-Man #13, “The Menace of Mysterio” introduces the character of Mysterio (Gregg Berger) framing Spider-Man (Christopher Daniel Barnes) for a series of robberies while setting up himself as the hero to take him down. Of course, J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner) is overjoyed with events until he discovers he’s been fooled again and Mysterio is nothing more but a special effect tech with a grudge against our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The North / Legends

The final two episodes of the reimagined live-action season feature Aang‘s (Gordon Cormier) arrival in the North (while still doing nothing to learn water bending). Katara (Kiawentiio) on the other hand does throw herself into bending only to discover women aren’t trained in anything other than healing. The show’s decision to remove Sokka (Ian Ousley) overtly sexist nature from the animated show, still likely the best decision, means the live-action version does lose a throughline between both Water Tribes. The result is Master Pakku (A Martinez) comes off more like an anarchistic fool rather than someone holding onto the tenants of shared, albeit flawed and sexist, culture.
