The official trailer for Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy was released yesterday and it looks really, really good (sort of like a mix of The Prisoner, a dash of Hellboy, and a whole lot of X-Men). As I said, I like how it looks, but what bothers me is that it feels like Netflix is using […]
Having just watched the latest trailer for Sony’s–In Association With Marvel!–Venom I have to admit that I like it a lot more than the first. Though the American accent Tom Hardy appears to be ruining? Not so much. But don’t misinterpret my meaning. I still think Venom–and the other characters of the SpiderVerse–belong with Marvel […]

And at the time, they were probably right. Though times change–though thankfully not […]
It’s no secret that I don’t particularly like what Fox has done with the Marvel’s X-Men, though take that dislike and double it, and that’s approaches what I feel what they have done with Wolverine. And the worse thing for me is that it’s all about greed. Hugh Jackman’s portrayal (despite that, visually speaking, he’s not […]
