The Magician. Art by Christina Correa, Lorenza Daprà & Lorraine Betta, from Secret Mxxn: Blvck Mvgic.
"Words of shadow, I command,
Reality bends to my ghostly hand.
Who weaves the night with a single strand?"
Amid cryptic symbols, shadows deep,
The Magician's secrets, he dares to keep.
Where midnight and dawn do collide,
His forbidden arts, menacingly reside.

Y’know now that I think about it I’m pretty sure Strange New Worlds has the highest concentration of canonically disabled characters of any Star Trek!
La’an and Chris have PTSD (although for Pike it’s more like pre-traumatic stress disorder? He’s having flashforwards to trauma instead of flashbacks). La’an is even getting therapy for it, and Pike really should but idfk what kinda high security therapist he could work with for that. Pike knowing that he will become severely disabled is also allegorical for degenerative/invisible illness as well. Spock has L’tak Terai, an order/spatial reasoning dysphasia. Hemmer is blind, with the added rep for being played by a blind actor.
That’s four characters! Good for them good for them.

Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell do a great job navigating the racial nuances of this top gun like relationship, but don’t sleep on Christina Jackson’s performance as Jesse’s wife, Daisy.
Beautiful emotional performances, military branch rivalry and the surprising impact of Elizabeth Taylor all join to create a unique “based on a true” story

Whilst i'm here i'm just gonna say it but I think before you guys go around reccing Mark Waid's Daredevil to people willy nilly you need to start staunchly bringing up the ableist fact that in the second volume Mark Waid took a lesser known blind hero, the Shroud, who was always portrayed as a genuinely compassionate person before then and decided to turn him into some kind of crazy jealous stalker supervillain, and upped the ableism by writing shit about how shroud was an “irredeemable psychopath” or that he didn’t handle his issues WELL like a GOOD mentally ill person, as if people with ASPD or those who aren’t paragons of recovery aren’t demonised enough, esp entirely so he could play it as a “Daredevil is the BETTER blind hero, you should root for HIM!” versus shtick. Like, I just feel like in a franchise that is entirely about a disabled man, there’s no excuse anymore for ignoring ableism just because you guys don’t give a shit about anything but popular superheroes who have racist shows you like and sucking the cock of a man who is CONSISTENTLY ableist in his writing. Do better.

The Hierophant. Art by Christina Correa, Lorenza Daprà & Lorraine Betta, from Secret Mxxn: Blvck Mvgic.
"By forgotten rites, I tie the knot,
Between the living and the naught.
Who speaks the words that none can hear?"
In gothic chambers, dark teachings abide,
The Hierophant, in shadow does reside.
Ancient omens, hauntingly weave,
Echoes of the lost, forever grieve.

Devotion (2022, dir. J. D. Dillard) - review by Rookie-Critic
Devotion is a war biopic that manages to stay mostly in line with the genre it's participating in, if only slightly elevated by its fantastic cast and their performances. The story of real life Korean War naval aviators Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner, the film basically follows their entire relationship, and it is that relationship that carries the film. Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell turn in a couple of amazing performances and, even in moments that feel like they're causing the film to drag, they keep it from being a detriment because you're just enjoying watching two actors who have it on lock. There are a few dogfight scenes in the film, which are great, but they're really not the focus. Top Gun: Maverick already did that about as expertly as any movie could back in May. Devotion knows where its focus should be and sticks to it, which is mostly to its benefit.
Speaking of Top Gun: Maverick, I can't make it all the way through this review without pointing out the elephant in the room: yes, Powell (who plays Hudner in the film) is the same actor that played Hangman in Maverick. Yes, both films are about naval aviators. Yes, there is a scene where a plane goes down in the snow in both films. Yes, I made a ton of jokes about that prior to watching it (and it is pretty funny), but Devotion is not just a Top Gun: Maverick clone, and I genuinely don't think it's trying to capitalize on the similarities. It's a really good film with completely different motivations that really stands on its own two feet. That being said, it does feel very "classic." Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean it's a movie where the story plays out in a very unsurprising, flat way. The emotional scenes hit, the action scenes are entertaining, but the movie never really feels like it's trying to excel in any one particular area. It's an interesting story about a couple of great guys in a war that you don't see portrayed on screen a lot, and that's kind of all it needs to be.
Score: 8/10
Currently at the tail end of its theater run. It is available to pre-order on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K through Paramount Pictures.
