The Briar Patch

 Well Mayans is over, this will be a quick post but it was too long to post on Twitter and social media. A lot of this is just a rehash of an earlier post but updated with the show now being wrapped up, some final thoughts and a review of the finale. So it should go without saying. Spoilers ahead!! Kurt Sutter created Sons of Anarchy and it was a massive hit. Yes it took a couple seasons but so did Yellowstone to be a hit. Mayans never hit that. Allegedly Sutter had a plan for 4 shows in order SOA, Mayans, First 9 and Sons. 4 shows set in the same universe and all tied together. For those who remember it, the Shield is in the same universe (I am rewatching, its so good) This was proven when Bishop mentioned Vic Makey.... This isn't just me wanting it to be true. After Mayans failure to take off I doubt we see First 9 which I would love or Sons (Thomas and Abel and SOA) which I dunno if they become SOA it would take away from Jaxs story. Mayans failed because it was poorly written,

 Damn you James Gunn! Damn you to hell! I wanted to sit and bitch about how you were killing the "hard" work DC had put into creating a shared universe. I wanted to say your Guardians series had gone downhill. Then I watched Guardians 3. If you take out the massive Avengers crossovers, it is a top 3 project probably. Top 5 for sure. I don't even know how many movies and shows they have churned out but this is among the best. So MAYBE you will make DC much better.... Anyways Guardians 3 watch it! IMO it is WAY better than the second and hell maybe better than the first that I still think was over rated. It has it all. A great plot, comedy, action and man does it hit the feels FFS. I am not a huge fan of some of the end, the new "team" meh but not sure if they will move forward with that or if it is more just giving characters a way to move on. Warlock should have had a much bigger role & I really thought the High Evolutionary would be a much bigger threat. I
