See what I did there? With the trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home premiering-if the scuttlebut on the Interwebs is at all accurate–sometime this week it’s worth a look at one of Spider-man’s greatest enemies. Mysterio! To be fair that’s just my feeling about the character because his awesomeness will vary based upon the artist […]
You thought that with the cancellation of Daredevil on Netflix that that story was over, didn’t you? At least I did, till I learned that–according to Frosty Weintraub at Collider–has heard that the show was canceled not because of Netflix, but Marvel Television! If you take into account that supposedly the ratings of Netflix were […]
Take this with a shaker of salt, but according to Josh Wilding at Comicbookmovie, part of the reason Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil has less to do with ratings than it does with the fact that Netflix wanted to decrease the length of a season. And while that doesn’t quite seem […]
Captain Marvel looks pretty good. It appears to have have everything I look for in a superhero movie, namely ample doses of action, heart and humor. Which by no means guarantees a hit. What does is that it comes from Marvel Studios, who have proven time and again that being faithful to the characters–on top […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
Apparently Marvel is promising more Daredevil,,,and it sounds like bs. Though I’m getting the feeling that Netflix canceling two other Marvel series (Iron Fist and Luke Cage) in as many months has less to do ratings than Disney wanting exclusivity for all their characters. And as I wrote yesterday, Daredevil was the flagship series of […]
And I don’t mean in a new season of The Defenders because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix had just cancelled Marvel’s Daredevil. This is particularly odd because Season Three of the Charlie Cox-led series was arguably the strongest season yet though more than anything else it makes me really curious about how they determine […]
I’ve never been a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s not a bad movie more than a narratively muddy one that never quite comes clear. Though there are some moments you can see the potential of the character shine through–such as what I like to call the ‘bully’ scene–but on the whole doesn’t […]
What’s the point of Once Upon A Deadpool, or as I like to call it, Deadpool 2-lite? A cynical money grab by Fox to see if they could milk more dinero from a movie already released–and gone–from theaters? A ploy by Disney–who gained the rights to Deadpool and all the characters that comprise the […]
‘Hindsight is always 20-20’ which means it’s easy to say how something would have been successful after the fact. I mention it because prognosticators at The Hollywood Reporter have decided that Marvel Studios had dodged a bullet by abandoning plans for a feature film based on the Inhumans. And that’s entirely possible, though the reasons […]
