It seems like every time we turn around, there’s a new fan theory to help fill the void of knowledge when it pertains to the still untitled Avengers 4. Disney, Marvel Studios and the Russo Brothers are keeping as tight lipped on details as possible, and the cast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 finale have been ‘threatened’ to keep what little they do know a secret from the world. So, this leaves fans no choice but to try and fill in the blanks themselves, like some sort of insane game of movie Mad Lib. While most of the…

We are just six months away from the Phase 3 finale to the MCU, the still untitled Avengers 4, yet we know very little more about it than we did by the end of Infinity War last April.

This has lead to numerous fan theories. An almost astronomical amount. And these theories range from the incredibly well thought out and entirely plausible, to the…

We lost a true legend in not only comic books, but in American literature as a whole recently with the passing of Stan Lee. While just about everyone has been in mourning, and celebrities have been sharing their fond memories, one particular ‘celebrity’ has decided to take a verbal crap all over Lee’s legacy and demean his passing, in his typical uneducated diarrhea-of-the-mouth kind of way. Political “comedian”, Bill Maher, took to his blog and decided to bash Stan Lee’s accomplishments by insulting comic book’s place in pop culture and literature. Known for his harsh and extremist leftist attitude, as…

There has been a little bit of confusion when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When doing such an incredible undertaking of a 10 year connected film universe, spanning over 20 films, things can tend to get a little wonky in keeping timelines straight. Thankfully, the new official source-book, ‘Marvel Studios: The First 10 Years’ from Titan Publishing has a timeline for the MCU that puts everything in order. Check it out below: 1943-1945: Captain America: The First Avenger 2010: Iron Man 2011: Iron Man 2, Thor 2012: The Avengers, Iron Man 3 2013: Thor: The Dark World 2014:…

Marvel Comics has been known to pull from ancient mythology to lend to their modern superhero mythology. The most obvious and most popular example of this is Thor and the inclusion of Norse Mythology prevalent throughout the Marvel Universe. This, in turn, has had a huge presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Thor being a core member of the Avengers Trinity, along with Captain America and Iron Man. And, in Thor’s last solo film, Thor: Ragnarok, we got one of Thor’s biggest comic arcs as well as the Norse Mythology version of Armageddon. However, Norse’s version of Armageddon is…

Captain Marvel is the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and might very well be on of the most important to date. It is Marvel’s first female led solo film, and it also introduces the most powerful hero to date in the MCU. It is also only the second film to travel back in time as far as when it takes place. The other “Captain” movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, was set during WWII, making the two “Captain” origin films set in the past. Captain Marvel doesn’t go back quite as far, however, but instead takes place in…

There seems to be a void in everyone’s hearts with the passing of the legendary Stan Lee. However, he is truly immortalized with all the heroes he gave this world, and by the wonderful cameos in Marvel’s film properties. But, now that he is gone, these beloved cameos are coming to an end. This makes the next few Marvel Cinematic Universe films a little bittersweet. You see, Lee has already filmed his cameos up to the still untitled Avengers 4, and, with principal filming already wrapped for Spider-Man: Far From Home, he most likely will be making his final cameo…

Today we lost a literary icon, a comic book legend, and a true American treasure, Stan Lee. This morning, Lee was rushed to the hospital from his home, where he then passed away. The man who truly defined what it means to be a hero, Lee helped shaped comic books from little throwaway cartoons into a true and legitimate portion of American literature and turned Marvel into the multimedia entertainment conglomerate that it is today. He also gave awkward, geeky kids, such as myself, a voice and a great deal of confidence to be ourselves and love what we love,…
