The veil is lifting—literally. In this heartfelt and honest take, Eric (Mr. Honest) dives into Episode 3 of Ms. Marvel, “Destined,” where new enemies emerge, the Noor dimension is revealed, and the wedding goes from celebration to chaos. While the pacing may feel off at times, the episode still plants seeds that could shake up the future of the MCU. This is one of Eric’s most transparent reviews yet—and sometimes, honesty is the superpower.

Things slow down in Episode 2 — but that doesn’t mean we’re not building something big. Eric dives into Kamala’s power practice, school drama, and that suspiciously smooth new guy, Kamran. There’s no major villain yet… but trouble’s clearly brewing. Plus: the Department of Damage Control is back, Bruno’s catching feelings, and Eric reflects on ums, awkwardness, and embracing your own rhythm. 💛

I was planning to talk about Infinity War today… But after Thunderbolts, I can’t stop thinking about Marvel’s boldest twist in years— The New Avengers are here. And I have a lot to say. This isn’t a deep recap. It’s a raw, passionate reflection on what this new team really means. They’re not perfect. They’re not polished. But they might just be the most honest group of heroes the MCU has ever assembled. Let’s talk about redemption, mental health, and why this misfit lineup hit me harder than expected. If you’ve been obsessing too… this one’s for you.

One week after the dust has settled, Honest is joined by TJ to reflect on the entire Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 journey. From surprise twists to emotional arcs, they dive deep into the full series, comparing this new era of Matt Murdock to what came before. Did it deliver? Did the Kingpin live up to the hype? And where does Daredevil truly stand in the larger MCU? It’s raw, real, and full of passion—just like the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen himself.

Before the MCU and long before Chris Evans suited up as Cap, he was already stealing scenes as Johnny Storm. In this episode, we revisit 2005’s Fantastic Four—a wild ride full of cosmic chaos, clashing egos, and surprisingly heartfelt moments. Eric breaks down the origin story of Marvel’s first family, from their transformation in space to their battle with a rising menace: Victor Von Doom. What still works? What totally doesn’t? And could this team return in a future Multiverse twist? It’s nostalgic, messy, and kind of iconic. Let’s go back to where the fire (and stretchy arms) started. 💥
