I’ll be honest in saying I’m not super familiar with Jonathan Kent. I mean, I grew up watching Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League - but, Jonathan Kent was more often than not a tertiary character, at best. That’s not to say he’s unimportant - it’s simply to preface this by letting it be known that I’m by no means an expert on the character. Perhaps that’s why, when confronted with t
For this series I’ll be taking an in depth look at each of the original Avengers by analyzing both their stories before Avengers: Endgame, but also how their respective stories end. Click here for the full list so far! Needless to say – SPOILERS follow. The next Avenger on my list is Clint Barton: AKA Hawkeye/Ronin. If we were to conduct a popularity contest on the most popular Avenger of th

So, Captain Marvel has finally released and the general consensus seems to be in agreement that its a step in the right direction for Marvel Studios; not just because it’s their first female-led movie, but because it tells a compelling story that’s actually worth watching. But this isn’t a review of Captain Marvel - if you’re looking for one stay tuned for a full length review in the near future.
Spoilers follow. Everyone has family drama. Maybe it's as simple as your mother grounding you for something that your little brother did, or perhaps your family has issues with your uncle because he's loves his whisky a little too much, or, maybe, - just maybe - your father is attempting to obtain God-like powers so that he can successfully complete his life-long dream of wiping out half of all l
Spoilers follow. Bruce Banner and The Incredible Hulk. Have there ever been two individuals who were more different? One, a strong man, capable of holding his own against an armada of otherworldly monsters; the other, a weak man, who insists on hiding while others put their lives on the line. It's funny how time has a way of changing things. If, just a week ago, I had written that same descripti

Click here for the full list so far! Needless to say – SPOILERS follow. My biggest worry heading into Infinity War was how exactly the writers/directors would handle Thor. I was worried that, with this movie being
While comparing these two universes is interesting, the differences between them can really be summed up to one essential thing – VISION. The MCU had it (literally and figuratively), the DCEU did not. From the moment Nick Fury stepped from the shadows & revealed himself to Tony Stark, we knew something big was coming. The films that followed each provided a piece to the larger whole – from Stark’
The SCALE of an event is important when it comes to action/adventure flicks; it’s especially important in shared universes such as the MCU and DCEU. The reasons it’s important is because when you’re telling an elongated story you don’t want the most interesting conflict to come at the beginning; there needs to be a progression - one that grows until it can no longer contain itself and explodes int
One thing I feel both the DCEU & MCU do well are their characters. I know this may not be a shared sentiment, and I feel like I have an understanding as of why. I'm going to start this one off with the DCEU - not to chastise it this time, but to sympathize. Unlike the MCU, the DCEU has been highly scrutinized. I've noticed that the DCEU receives a substantial amount of unwarranted criticism for ho
Okay, so let’s talk about STAKES. To do that, we need to talk about characters. Let’s start again with the #DCEU. Look at their roster. You have an alien (who essentially cannot be killed), a Demi-God (whose father is Zeus), a technological alien/human-hybrid, a man with the ability to distort (& often break) time & space, & a Merman (which I realize doesn’t sound all that threatening, but still.)
