Netflix has been on a bit of a purge when it comes to the Marvel series on their streaming service. Starting with the ambiguous “rebranding” of the Defenders Facebook page, effectively eliminating the thoughts of a second season, to the out right cancellation of Iron Fist, followed then by Luke Cage. This all came on the precipitous of the third season of Daredevil. Now, losing Iron Fist and Luke Cage wasn’t necessarily shocking. Neither one of them had very strong numbers, with Iron Fist having a terrible first season (although made up some ground with season 2), and Luke Cage…

Ever since the release of the most watched trailer in history, the trailer for the newly titled Avengers: Endgame, people have been searching for clues to what exactly is going to happen. One of the biggest dilemmas is exactly if and how Tony Stark will be saved from his dire straits of being stranded in space. We’ve even run the odds on just who will save him. Now, that was with the assumption that Stark would actually be saved. But, thanks to a recent commercial tie in to the movie, we may not need to assume anymore. https://youtu.be/YXz4rnqsBCM Audi has…

Fans are still dealing with the passing of comic book’s greatest icon, Stan Lee. He made such an impact on so many of us, not just with the characters he created, or his rock star-like persona, but with the messages and good will he portrayed at all times. He always wanted people to see the best in the world, and to be their own superhero. He has graced us with so many legendary characters with real life problems, like Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, and so, so many more. He was also the comic book world’s…

The “feud” between Deadpool star, Ryan Reynolds, and former Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman, is the stuff of legend. Their friendly banter has been a shining light in a tumultuous 2018. What all started with an attempt to get Jackman to reprise his role as the uber popular X-Men character in one of the Deadpool movies has turned into a back and forth social media jousting event that has fans laughing hysterically all year. They’ve blown up Twitter with their constant jabs, and even made “political attack ads” to help each other promote their latest projects. They really have established “relationship…

The DC Streaming Service is trying to bring the world of DC Comics into everyone’s homes. This fledgling service is only a couple of months old, but you can already see tons of their animated movies, many classic films like Superman (1978), as well as the Dark Knight Trilogy. You can even read many important issues from DC Comics lore. But, the main reason for this service is to push their all new original series. With shows like Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, and Hawk & Dove in the works, a lot hinges on the success of the first series, Titans.…

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, fans finally received the highly anticipated first trailer for the now titled Avengers: Endgame. As the most viewed trailer of all time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 Finale is set to be an emotional roller-coaster. Right off the bat, we see a stranded Tony Stark recording what he feels will be his final message as he floats aimlessly through space, no resources or life support available. All seems lost for Iron Man, but we all but know for certain that he will be rescued, as he will of course play a…

Once Upon a Deadpool, the PG-13 cut of the successful R-rated Deadpool 2, is already crushing it in theaters. And, while this movie was meant to be a tamer version for all audiences, it is still a Deadpool movie, and someone is bound to be offended. Well, this time, the offense actually comes from a poster for the film. A petition has been filed over on Change.org to have the film change its “Yule Believe in Miracles” which depicts a religious scene with Deadpool in place of Jesus. The image parodied in the poster is apparently one that is very…

There has been an endless debate between Marvel and DC Comics fans over who has the best movies. People take their favorite heroes very seriously, and that translates into Twitter battles and angry Facebook comments from defenders of each brand. But there is one thing you can’t argue with, and that’s the numbers. Math is an absolute and the only true universal language. No matter who you are or where you’re from, 1 plus 1 will ALWAYS equal 2. Now, someone has compiled 75 of the top superhero movies from the two comic book powerhouses and compared the numbers. And…

Marvel Studios is in the process of making the Marvel Cinematic Universe more diverse. Starting with Captain Marvel, the studio plans to have more than 50% of their heroes to be female. They are also diversifying their creative talents with female directors. The first is co-director, Anna Boden, working on Captain Marvel, and Cate Shortland, who will be helming the solo Black Widow film. However, there is some controversy coming from another director who was on the shortlist for the same flick. This controversy, though, isn’t what it seems. Argentinean director, Lucrecia Martel, spoke fairly poorly about her experience with…

Fans have been clamoring for some kind of footage or information when it comes to Avengers: Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 finale. Finally, those prayers and demands were answered last week when the first official trailer for the film was released and viewed in record numbers. But, instead of satiating our appetites and answering questions, we’re all hungrier for more and have more questions without any real answers. Well, in keeping in the Marvel tradition of revealing tidbits without actually giving anything away, they have released a new banner for the film. Posted on all of the social…
