We have reached the end of an era, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 has come to an end with the mega blockbuster, Avengers: Endgame. Now, all that is left is the epilogue to the first decade of films, and the prologue to the MCU’s future, in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Now, thanks to a new international trailer, we have some more footage of what is sure to be this summer’s biggest hit. https://youtu.be/5PmzH28tQEw This trailer doesn’t offer up really any more information on the film’s plot, but we do get more of Mysterio’s heroic take, as well as…

Warner Bros and DC have recently turned a corner from their much maligned and far to dark Synderverse films with the lighter and more successful Aquaman and Shazam movies. Now, WB has changed their connected universe to a looser style, with many new films coming out that will exist outside of the previously established universe. Arguably the most anticipated of these films, and the one with the biggest roller coaster of news thus far, is Matt Reeve’s The Batman. Now, we finally have some concrete information for the Dark Knight’s next foray on the silver screen – and who will…

Captain Marvel has hit digital release and the controversy surrounding the film continues to follow. From insane petitions to have Academy Award Winner, Brie Larson, pulled from the film due to trolls twisting her words to seemingly attack “white men”, to another petition looking to replace her with a LBGQT actor, to more trolls attacking a deleted scene where Carol Danvers takes on toxic masculinity, it’s been a non stop barrage keyboard warrior attacks and useless propaganda launched at a highly successful film. Now, a whole new “controversy” is brewing, albeit a stretch, and one of ‘Captain Marvel’s’ comic book…

Avengers: Endgame offered fans so many different story elements for their favorite characters over the course of it’s 3 hour runtime. Currently the second highest grossing movie of all time (and rapidly approaching the number one spot with less than $100 million to go), the film offered closure to several interwoven stories that have existed throughout the 22 Marvel Cinematic Universe films spanning over a decade. The original 6 Avengers all seemingly had their character arcs brought to a fitting conclusion. That is, all but one, who seemingly has a new lease on his story and gained more “girth” to…

There is a subsection of horror movies that play on humanity’s natural fears. Taking a normal, everyday fear that millions of people have and turning into the plot of a film can be far more terrifying to most than the typical supernatural slasher flick or paranormal movie. Arachnophobia is a great example of this and, one of the most famous films like this would be the classic, Jaws. But sharks aren’t just exclusive to the Spielberg epic. In 2017, a little film called 47 Meters Down came out as a sleeper hit. And now, it’s getting a sequel in 47…

When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans have been gifted with over a decade of interwoven storytelling that has had many of their most beloved comic book characters come to life. Many people have literally grown up watching these films, and they all are invested in these films, many on a borderline religious type level. These type of fandom for the MCU has led to a bevy of fan theories. Most of them have been a simple thought about what may happen. Others have been downright crazy and asinine. But, there are some where the fan is too…

Captain Marvel has come into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and made a huge impact. Between the 1990’s set origin film, which was a huge success, and Carol Danvers’ major (albeit short) presence in Avengers: Endgame, it’s hard to deny that the MCU’s future is in great hands. But, as Marvel brought out their first female led solo flick, there were some detractors, i.e. internet trolls, who have continuously attacked it as it supposedly forces a “women first” political agenda that’s “attacking men”. Top that off with the prototypical alpha male response of “why doesn’t she smile more?” when the first…

We are currently in the Age of the Comic Book movie. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a multibillion dollar mogul, DC & WB have turned the tables with Aquaman & Shazam crushing the box office, and Deadpool even gave us a PG 13 remix of his own sequel. It seemed like if you took a beloved comic book character and put it on the big screen, it was a guaranteed home run. Apparently, this isn’t the case, at least not when it comes to rebooting an already fan favorite film. The new Hellboy reboot is officially a box office disaster…

Avengers: Endgame was one of the most ambitious films ever made. The 3 hour epic had more major, established characters in it that any other movie in history. It also was the most anticipated movie of all time, being the culmination of 11 years and 22 films of interwoven storytelling, the likes that no one has ever seen. Another challenging aspect the directors faced with this film was shooting it and it’s predecessor, Infinity War, back to back in what was sure to be an extremely grueling shooting schedule. But, not only is there a difficult, non stop schedule like…

Captain Marvel was a revolutionary film for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Finally giving a female hero the lead, Marvel also introduced their most powerful hero thus far. But, many fans believe that Carol Danvers could actually jump a third hurdle as well, and be the MCU’s first openly gay hero. We know that Marvel is looking to possibly cast a gay male lead in The Eternals, but with Captain Marvel already being an established character, she could be the first homosexual hero to join the massive franchise. But, if that’s the case, why didn’t we see any of that in…
