Marvel And Hulu's 'Runaways' Episode 8 Review: 'Tsunami'

🌟 Marvel's Runaways 🌟 Episode 8 Review 🌟 Tsunami 🌟 8.5/10 🌟

“Tsunami” opens up right where episode 7 left off, Victor being shot and the rest of PRIDE turning up to "save the day" without the help of Jonah. Molly is sent to live with a relative and Gert finally frees her pet dinosaur to meet with the rest of the gang. At the same time, Nico and Alex get into an argument as we discover why Alex didn’t go to Amy’s funeral.

Back at the Stein house, the Yorkes try to revive Victor via the clinical way, but that was unsuccessful. PRIDE then contacts Frank. He tries to revive Victor using the miracle gloves he acquired from Jonah last episode, but that too fails. In a moment of desperation, Tina calls Jonah, who everyone was trying to avoid. When he enters the scene he takes out the sacrificial machine that brought him back to life. It then gets even more interesting and fun as he also tells PRIDE that in order to revive Victor, one of them must be sacrificed. Jonah picks Janet, but Robert Minoru quickly intervenes and picks himself, that's when the bitching session begins and everyone turns on each other. As he is about to enter the machine Tina breaks out her magical staff and pulverizes it leaving Jonah to put Victor’s body under some type of preservation state.

When Gert and the gang finally meet up, Alex tells them that he has decrypted the video file. With new proof that their parents are committing murder, Chase then makes the rash choice of destroying Alex’s computer, to save his dad.

While it seems like all proof is lost, we quickly cut to Molly finding a VHS tape of presumably PRIDE’s crimes. Nico also finds Amy’s phone and backpack. Could Amy of faked her own death?

Once again Runaways doesn’t fail to deliver a wonderful episode. Even though “Tsunami” took place in primarily one setting, the Stein’s house, the episode felt spacious and rich. This was mostly due to the character dynamic between the parents. “Tsunami” was the first time we saw all of them together in a state of panic, so we got to see all of the older cast offer some serious nuance as they finally show us that they have weak points too.
