Geek Force

This week on Geek Force, Eming kicks us off with a spoiler-free take on Marvel's "The Marvels" . Is it setting the stage for the next big Marvel phase? Then, Eming and Marlin dive into the "Loki" finale. Those last ten minutes? Mind-blowing! Was it the best part of the show? The Squad breaks it down. The Squad also scours the latest from Netflix Geeked - from the much-anticipated “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series to Zack Snyder's galactic tribute in “Rebel Moon: Part One: A Child of Fire.” The Squad then rounds it out with a deep dive into The Game Awards nominees. What's in the running for Game of the Year and what really makes a game an indie game?

Takeaways

The Marvels movie was enjoyable and had some fun moments, but it didn't reach the level of greatness seen in films like Black Panther.

The Loki series had a slow start but redeemed itself in the last 10 minutes of the final episode, setting up potential future storylines.

Netflix is releasing several highly anticipated adaptations, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, and fans are hopeful that these adaptations will stay true to the source material.

The squad expresses concerns about potential changes and deviations from the original stories in the live-action adaptations.
