‘You should have gone for the head’. These ominous words from Thanos to Thor at the climax of Avengers: Infinity War still ringing in the heads of fans as we all try to recover from the snap that immediately followed. Thanos succeeded with his plan of ‘balance’, all because of where Thor put his final blow. The Russo Brothers spoke about why Thor chose to hit Thanos in the chest, and how that one decision changed Infinity War from being Thor’s story to Thanos’ story. Thor was on a true underdog hero’s journey during the film, despite being a ‘god’. He…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before… Disgraced cop turned Private Eye begins a case that begins a spider web of murders. The P.I.’s ex partner gets stuck with him on the case, and some twists and turns later, some “expert” framing of the P.I., and eventually a happy ending ensues. Sound familiar? Of course it does, because it’s the plot of just about every detective story you see today. But, what if the story isn’t why you went to see this film? Instead, you went to see this film for crude humor, weird puppet sex, and silly string…

Stan Lee is the Patriarch of all things comics. Regardless of which brand is your favorite, just about all of the nerd realm look to Stan Lee as ‘The Man’. Even the casual fan knows just how important he is to the comics world, even if they first learned of him from his cameos in nearly every Marvel movie ever. However, the last year or so has not been kind to the 95 year old creator of many of pop culture’s greatest characters. He has lived through personal tragedy, illnesses, fraud, extortion, theft, abuse, and more. But, the forever young…

The still untitled Avengers 4 is probably the most anticipated movie in history, especially after the shocking ending that no one expected in Infinity War as well as the equally shocking post-credits scene in Ant-Man and the Wasp. However, sometimes anticipation can breed contempt in rabid fan-bases. Many fans are outright begging for some kind of information on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 Finale and are starting to become angry with the lack of even a title. They’re doing the same for the Captain Marvel movie. They are also pointing to other superhero films arriving around the same time…

The first Deadpool movie was a resounding success, becoming one of the highest grossing R rated films of all time. This is doubly amazing when you consider that the director, Tim Miller, was helming his first movie ever. So, naturally, he was pegged to direct Deadpool 2 as well. But, after some creative differences with star and Deadpool connoisseur, Ryan Reynolds, Miller left the project for possibly greener pastures (the next Terminator film, a sequel to T2: Judgement Day that will ignore all the other sequels). He was replaced by John Wick co-director, David Leitch. However, he did do some…

For 17 years, Hugh Jackman embodied the cinematic version of everyone’s favorite feral X-Men member, Wolverine. His final take on the popular character was the in the James Mangold helmed blockbuster, Logan. The critically acclaimed film was Jackman’s swan song for the Canadian born mutant, but it didn’t mean the end of nods to his portrayal – and one has been noticed in The Greatest Showman. While some nods have been extremely far from subtle, like the countless mentions and clips in the Deadpool movies, some Easter Eggs are far more subdued and quite hard to see. Take Jackman’s first…

The Watchmen comic series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons revolutionized the comic book industry, bringing a mature and complex edge to storytelling, as well as a deeper look into what exactly makes a hero a hero. Now, HBO looks to bring a new take to the story with a TV series based in the modern day, after the initial story took place.

Throughout the course of Marvel Studios 10 plus years in production, they have made more than 20 films that are all interconnected in one, concise universe. And, during that decade of blockbuster nerd delight, fan theories have inundated the internet in droves. Now, while 99% of these theories have been proven false, that 1% who get something right are something to behold. Now, a new, detailed and lengthy theory, maybe one of the best we have seen in terms of the upcoming Phase 3 finale film, the still untitled Avengers 4. Although there are some holes in the theory from…

Let it never be said that the Russo Brothers don’t have a great sense of humor. In fact, before their monstrous success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Russos cut their teeth in sitcoms, most notably Community. Thus, when given the opportunity to troll one of the most excitable and anxious fan-bases ever, the MCU fans, Joe and Anthony Russo jumped at the chance on their Instagram account, which in turn started a whole new series of theories for Avengers 4. The Russo Brothers posted (then deleted) an IG pic with the caption ‘A4 title reveal…’ with the hashtag #infiniteKUSAMA,…

Captain America is a man out of time. During his tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he has had a pretty rough go at things. He’s lost friends and loved ones, watched the world he defended fall far from grace. He has seen alien invasions and genocidal A.I. It has not been an easy road. And, now, as the MCU’s Phase 3 comes to an end, and Chris Evans’ contract is up, it would seem that Cap is headed for the afterlife in Avengers 4. A new fan theory, however, over on Reddit may see Cap not only surviving -…
