Marvel Doorables Series 3

 I remember a while back seeing the first series of Marvel Doorables and thought it was cool they were starting to do those after Star Wars. And then recently I saw series 3. Not only did I not ever see series 2 but there were two waves for that series! I'm kind of annoyed at that now that I know they exist, some of my favorite characters were in series 2!

 

But anyway, on to series 3...

 

 I immediately recognized the outer ring on the packaging as one of Dr. Strange's portals. Series 2 had similar packaging but again...never saw them. Back when the Star Wars ones debuted, I started keeping this list of codes bookmarked on my phone. It's not the best to work with on a phone screen but it's definitely helped me zero in on the ones I want. Mrs Dex calls it cheating because it removes the surprise. I like to think of it as avoiding having duplicates and getting my favorite characters.

 

Speaking of codes...

 

  

They haven't gotten rid of them but they're certainly making them harder to see by using black printing on a black background. I had to use my phone's flashlight to help make them easier to read.

 

Let's see who I got (spoiler alert: I already knew).

 

 First we've got Elektra and Moon Knight. MK is the main reason I picked up this one. He's got a pair of crescent darts and Elektra's got her itty bitty sai.

 

 Next is Jubilee and a "special edition" Vibranium Miles Morales.They did an awesome job on Jubilee not only with her powers in full effect but blowing a gum bubble. Classic! Miles is obviously a chase figure being somewhat translucent, similar to the Star Wars hologram figures.

 

 One of my favorite things about Doorables is the package is usually some sort of display for the figures. Let me tell you, between the tiny space and curved walls, it's not easy standing them up in there! It's hard to see but there's a removable cardboard background with a helicarrier on it. Looking at more series 2 pics online, it looks like there's different backgrounds you can get.

 

If you want to see who all is in Series 3, check out the Doorables Wiki. As you might guess from the name, they also have every other Doorable series cataloged there too! 

15th Blog-iversary!

 I tried to find an image of a fun 15th birthday cake to slot in here. Either I didn't look hard enough or there's just some really bland images out there.

 

 I can't believe this thing is still going after 15 years! If you're one of the handful of people reading this, thanks for stopping by. If you're not...let me know how you're seeing this.

 

Here's a look at the Top Ten posts of all time.

 

 Last year, I said I didn't think anything would ever dethrone the top two posts, but I was wrong! 

 

Coming from out of nowhere, the August 2025 Monthly Media Recap jumps in at the number two spot. It wasn't even in last year's top ten! I wonder what it is that made it so popular over the last 365 days? The venerable Andy Gibb poster drops two spots to fourth place. There was a time when he was THE most popular for many years.

Milton Bradley's Flipsider game continues its climb up to seven from nine. And the Addams Family's own Wednesday cracks the top ten with her recent card game.

On with the show...

 

 

Gatchaman Progress

Finally getting back on track, knocked out 5. Currently up to 82

 

Series 

 

Deli Boys (S2, Hulu)

So glad this came back but not thrilled with the season only being 6 episodes. Maybe there's more coming? Anyway, the addition of Fred Armesin this go round as a shady casino owner is extra icing on this already delicious show. 

 

Regular Show: The Lost Tapes (HBO Max)

Like seeing a couple of old friends and jumping right back into things. Is it just more episodes of Regular Show? Yes! And that's the best praise I can give it.

 

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen (Netflix)

This horror thriller mini series is a slow burn that keeps you guessing if something bad is really going to happen (spoiler alert: it's in the title) or if it's in the main characters head. The burn pays off in the climax with one of the most horrifying scenes I've seen.

 

Young Sherlock (Amazon)

Guy Ritchie returns to Holmes with his signature style for an extremely entertaining and fun ride. If I could have binged the whole thing in a day, I probably would have. Sherlock is great but Moriarty oozes scoundrel charm when he's on screen. It's got plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. 

 

Movies 

 

Supergirl (2026)

Don't listen to the whiny fanboys. If you're thinking about seeing this, do it! It's definitely not Superman. It's a bit grungier, for lack of a better word. Kara is not the shining beacon that her cousin is. This is about her figuring out the kind of person she wants to be. Milly Alcock is the best thing about this movie and I hope we get more of her. If you have a problem with Krypto, I can only assume you've never owned a dog or just hate animals.

 

Rating: 7/10 

 

 

 

You Might Be the Killer (2018, Tubi)

Take The Mask from the movie of the same name but replace Loki with Jason Voorhees and you get this quirky, comedic summer camp slasher. It doesn't tackle meta quite on the level of Scream but I have to hand it to them for doing something original. Definitely a must for slasher fans.

 

Rating: 6/10

 

In Search of Darkness 1995-1999 (Shudder)

While the first half wasn't as interesting because I didn't know a lot of the movies, I really started getting into horror in the late 90s so there was a lot more here that was familiar to me. It was also fun to see the evolution of the teen slasher post Scream.

 

 

Scream 7 (2026, Paramount)

As much as the original Scream redefined horror, the series has become the very thing those characters were making fun of. It's not terrible but it doesn't feel like it was necessary other than to introduce Sydney's daughter to possibly carry the final girl torch. There are a couple of good kills and I like that the trailer doesn't show the biggest plot point (which ends up being a bit of a let down that they didn't go further with it). I don't get how/why this series keeps going with different people being Ghostface but I'll keep turning up to see what weird hoops they'll jump through to make it happen.

 

Rating: 5/10

 

 

They Will Kill You (2026, Netflix)

I put the trailer here but I'm begging you, don't watch it if you plan to see the movie. This insane melding of Tarantino and Sam Raimi should be experienced blind for maximum fun! This movie is crazy and unpredictable. The cinematography choices are chef's kiss and the fight scenes are as wild as a Saturday afternoon Hong Kong flick!

 

Rating: 8/10

 

Disclosure Day (2026)

I don't know, I didn't love it like a lot of people do. I can't put my finger on it but something about the whole viewing just felt a little off for me, like I was watching a three episode season finale arc condensed into a movie. I will say, the female anchor at the end of the movie deserves an award for her performance.
