  • Is She-Hulk too Woke? and Why you shouldn't miss Prey #41

    Is She-Hulk too Woke? and Why you shouldn't miss Prey #41
    Aug 30 2022
    This week we explore everything wrong with She Hulk and Marvels' continuous character assassination of Hulk with each iteration.

    Despite what She Hulk effectively stood for in the comics, Marvel failed to capture the complexity of the character and created a 'failed' feminist icon... Is She Hulk too woke? or are we just tired of the unlimited stream of Marvel Content?

    Nevertheless, Disney Plus got it right with ‘Prey'. An action packed, gory thrill seeker with a strong female lead, who actually earned it! We explore the exciting new thriller featuring the iconic ’Predator'. It's got to be the best Predator film that has graced our screen as of yet. What do you think?

    Oh and there's also some Kanye stuff... Something about Adidas stealing his trademark Yeezys

    The Gray Man vs Bullet Train; Numbers vs Style #39
    Aug 10 2022
    Hey guys! Welcome to another episode of The Aftermath Podcast, this episode its all about action films, as we review Netflix's juggernaut of a film laden with an internationally reknowned star studded cast, in an attempt to make its own James Bondesque franchise that reaches Michael Bay levels of fast paced action and witty dialogue but directed by the Russo's?

    Dhanush is here aswell, clearly as bait for Indian audiences but is his role, satisfying? does he have any impact on the wider story

    Finally, a suprisingly refreshing film we watched over the weekend is Bullet Train, this has all the makings of a cult classic, David Leitch shows us again why he is an auteur with action like Zack Snyder is with slow mo, the film is incredible, beautiful and in a refreshing pace has brilliant dialogue throughout!

    The Dark Side of K-Pop: Kris Wu #35
    Jun 7 2022
    It's another case Watson! The Aftermath detectives are back online and dissecting a case that is hardly being touched online, quite mysteriously in fact if we do say so ourselves (extremely suss Aftermath family)

    We previously explored the dark side of hollywood marriages that is often steeped in fecal matter and bee's crushed by puppy paws, exploring the toxicity of the hollywood elite (minus Amber Heard of course), one man lost all his power and just gained it back......on the other side of the ocean, one man lost his power for the past year, sadly for many EXO and Kris Wu fans news has come out that he has been involved in what can only be described as pedophile ring, being blasted on Chinese social media for the most bit

    But his fans haven't given up and have highlighted many of the controversies surrounding these alleged leaked messages between him and his victim are more hearsay but with mounting witnesses, will Kris Wu spend an eternity in prison or is he innocent till proven guilty....

    Pay close attention Aftermath family, as Oaksoe dissects the timeline of events that lead up to the arrest of Kris Wu.

    Innocent till Proven Guilty? or Guilty in the court of public opinion
