It’s a solid Evil Dead film, pretty brutal in places; my only real criticism is that could have done with a little more wit and playfulness as a lot of it is fairly grim. It’s fine for what it is though. Although on balance I probably prefer Rise.

For it to be Sidious implies quite a convoluted explanation that is never provided.

More complicated from AOTC is all the Syfo-Dias stuff which feels like it was left over from an earlier draft and as far as I know is never really explained.

Nice little set, especially the blue Venom – and the Legends figures combine well enough with the Jada SF toys to make for some decent teams.

What started as a funny quirky show ended up with an epic ongoing storyline in its second season that ended with a fantastic cliffhanger. Sadly when it returned they’d changed a lot about the show and it didn’t work as well for me. But those last few episodes of season 2 are a great story.

It’s since been denied that a disc copy is going to be released.
