I sometimes think people don’t understand how movies work. For instance, I see reactions to Avengers: Infinity War–the movie prior to Endgame–expressing incredulity that most of those characters are coming back. Which implies that such people are either new to this planet or have never seen a movie before because they’re somehow shocked a continuing […]
According to the Interwebs there’s been more than a little bit of buzz revolving around Captain Marvel, the 21st installment of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and not all of it was favorable. As far as I can tell most of the problems–particularly some sort of feminist agenda–are blatantly nonsense. That being said, you’ll notice […]
If you’re a reader of various comic book-orientated movie forums like I am you’ve probably noticed a trend, namely someone saying that Marvel Studios should be making R-rated movies. And it’s not only people who participate in forums, apparently. I think that’s a terrible idea, though there are ways that it can work, some of […]
Avengers: Endgame the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, is projected to open somewhere in the ballpark of $265 million. It goes without saying that that’s a monster opening and would best that of Infinity War (though not by a lot). There’s talk that that Endgame will have a 3-hour running time, which will mean that less theaters will be […]
It’s been estimated that Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel will bow somewhere in the ballpark $100 million. By way of comparison–because let’s be honest: You knew it was coming–DC Films’ Wonder Woman had a $105 million debut, so all signs point to Captain Marvel surpassing it. It’s worth mentioning that Captain Marvel is likely to be […]
A few hours ago Sony released the teaser trailer for their upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home and it looks like a lot of fun (like any Spider-Man movie should be). And did I mention that Mysterio is the villain? Played by the–at times–uber-creepy Jake Gyllenhaal? In fact, the only shortcoming I can find with the […]
I recently cut a reaction trailer for the recently released Captain Marvel: Special Look (2019), where in my somewhat meandering fashion, I discuss not only why I haven’t seen Aquaman but why I prefer superhero movies from Marvel Studios. Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the Down Below.
And I know bumblebees don’t sting, but work with me. According to Superherohype Paramount’s Bumblebee has overtaken Warner Bros. Aquaman in international markets. For reasons I’m not entirely sure Aquaman has been performing particularly well, outgrossing Justice League and Wonder Woman cumulatively. Which I find vexing. Part of the issue is that I’ve become accustomed […]
You might be saying to yourself: ‘Wtf!?’ ‘Mysterio’ doesn’t start with an ‘A?’ Ah! But when you think about it, Mysterio is one of the most awesome villains in Spidey’s rogues gallery, so it’s a fitting accolade. Created in 1964 by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee, Mysterio first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #13 and […]
The trailer for Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame dropped a few hours ago, and it goes without saying I shot a quick reaction trailer. Avengers: Endgame Official Trailer Trailer Into Reaction – Avengers: Endgame
