Lego Marvel Superheroes An almost perfect game The best of the Marvel bunch by far. It was like a big love letter to all things Marvel, and to New York City. It came out in 2012, during the early stages of the MCU, so it included some tidbits of what was in the films but … Continue reading Game Reviews: The Lego Marvel Series
Series Review – Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion is the latest entry in the Disney+ run of Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings that have been coming fast and furious since 2021. The receptions to each one has been far more varied than we'd gotten accustomed to with Marvel action products, and that itself has been a major online topic of discussion. No … Continue reading Series Review – Secret Invasion
Magic Marvel Movie Moments
The coronavirus has wreaked havoc on every aspect of our society, and the movie business is no exception. Since it flat out isn't safe to go to a theater right now and it will be some time before people safe to go to one in large numbers pretty much every major release has been pushed … Continue reading Magic Marvel Movie Moments
Movie Review – Spider Man: Far from Home
If you read my review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (if you haven't, it's right here) then you know about my reluctance to buy all the way in on how they're doing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But after two more chances to see Tom Holland's take on Spidey in Infinity War and Endgame, I've … Continue reading Movie Review – Spider Man: Far from Home
Avengers Endgame Thoughts
This is kinda spoilery so proceed with caution if you haven't seen it yet. You cannot talk about any of this without giving the highest of praise to Robert Downey Jr. His portrayal of Tony Stark in Iron Man is what got the ball rolling and was so off the charts great that it got … Continue reading Avengers Endgame Thoughts
Movie Review – Avengers: Infinity War
This really isn't just one movie. It's the culmination of a 10 year endeavor that began with a gamble on a troubled Hollywood actor in Robert Downey Jr. and that making good movies that people enjoyed would overcome having to rely on B and C list characters from the Marvel Comics roster. It's also the … Continue reading Movie Review – Avengers: Infinity War
Final thoughts on Secret Empire
First up, logistical kudos go out to everyone involved. Every issue came out on time, and they kept it to the number of issues that were announced. No adding on 'unplanned extra' issues after it started like Civil War 2 or Secret Wars. And because there were no delays we don't have the awkward situation … Continue reading Final thoughts on Secret Empire
Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Let me start off by saying I really didn't want this movie to be made. I wanted the Andrew Garfield run to get one more movie and a proper finish, and then they could do whatever they wanted to fit the character into the MCU. So in viewing and reviewing this, I'm admittedly not starting … Continue reading Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Secret Empire Kicks Off
Secret Empire is here, and so far so good. The opening issue set the table really well for what's to come while not shooting too many shots early. Writer Nick Spencer has already made me feel more at ease with what's going to happen here storywise than I was at any point during last year's … Continue reading Secret Empire Kicks Off
No more Civil Wars or Injustices
I wrote a few weeks back on Civil War 2 and where I thought it went wrong, but after reading DC's Injustice story, I've become convinced that these large scale heroes divided stories need to go away and never come back. In each case you can read comments and reviews that say the story started … Continue reading No more Civil Wars or Injustices
