While I enjoyed 2016’s Doctor Strange I wish that it had been…well…weirder. And to be fair there was quite a burden on director Scott Derrickson’s shoulders, namely now to introduce a character that’s amongst the weirdest in Marvel’s stable, but do so in a manner that doesn’t turn off people who’re grown accustomed to their […]
Let’s be honest. The executives over at DC/Warner Bros – lead by Walter Hamada – have no idea what they’re doing. This has been fairly obvious before he took the helm though Hamada seems to be continuing in a grand tradition of really dumb decisions (most recently sacrificing their 2021 slate on the altar of […]
The trailer dropped for Venom: Let There Be Carnage yesterday and if you liked Venom (2018) you’ll probably feel at home with the upcoming sequel (though who knows? It’s not unusual for clips in trailers to have scenes that were cut for reasons of timing reasons or whatever). So you never actually know what you’re […]
When Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy is firing on all cylinders there’s a joy of superhero action to behold. Though like a car that takes way too long to warm up, by the time it’s ready to go we’re approaching the end of our patience (and the run of the eight episode first season). Jupiter’s Legacy was […]
When Walt Disney created Disney+, they were not playing because they not only began with an initial investment somewhere in the ballpark of a billion dollars, but they’re projected to increase that to $14-16 billion over the next few years. What they also did was pull their content from everywhere else, including Netflix, which means […]
Amazon’s Invincible – based on the Image comic book created by Robert Kirkman (of The Walking Dead) is a love letter to the modern age superhero. In fact, depending upon what you think about that will probably have a lot to do with how you feel about the series. The story so far – only […]
Netflix’s Outer Banks is a new YA (young adult) series that–as I mention in my review–plays like an above average episode of Scooby Doo. And that’s okay because I enjoyed that cartoon though I’m not accustomed to seeing it seemingly treated in Riverdale fashion (though it’s oddly more faithful). And while I don’t necessarily think […]
This is interesting. The video below shows (supposedly) an animatronic version of Spider-Man that’s going to appear in the Avengers Campus exhibition coming to Disney California Adventure Park that I learned of via Superherohype. And it looks pretty interesting, but if you look closer it resides firmly in the uncanny valley because it’s missing one […]
Sony is an interesting studio as of late. While Universal is busy piling money in a pile–and burning it–producing stinkers likes Cats and Dolittle Sony is apparently on a tear, following up Jumanji: The Next Level, Zombieland: Double Tap with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and most recently, Bad Boys for Life (which isn’t […]
The more I see of DC Films’ upcoming Joker, the more irritated I get. The film apparently exists outside current continuity, which wouldn’t be a problem if they would do their damn jobs and just take the time to build a universe for these characters. But that would imply that they have some idea of […]
