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
MCU Fact and Fiction: The Box Office
The Variety article thar came out last week has led to a cavalcade of takes about the MCU and where it's all gone wrong. And while it's full of anonymously sourced stories that read like they were planted by people with axes to grind, that hasn't stopped people from taking them as gospel truth and … Continue reading MCU Fact and Fiction: The Box Office
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.

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
Movie Review – Captain Marvel
I was late to the party for this one in that I didn't get to see it in the theater but I just watched it a few times On Demand and I had some thoughts so I figured why not share them here?

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
