If you haven’t watched James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad yet, you’re really doing yourself a disservice. The writer/director really gave us the movie that fans wanted the first time WB attempted this franchise in 2016. He also didn’t have the leash of a PG-13 rating like he did with Guardians of the Galaxy, as great as that movie is. This time around, the reigns are off and Gunn is running full steam ahead with these villains forced into doing ‘good deeds’ or else – but Gunn isn’t without his nods to the fans. This particular nod is also to the…

The Boys has been a revelation of sorts in the Comic Book Movie realm, flipping the genre on its head in a gruesome and expletive manner. It makes one question what it truly means to be a hero as well as attacks capitalism and big business having all the power in the world. The first two seasons have been well received and fans are eagerly looking forward to Season 3. The Amazon Prime series, which has been unique in its approach from day one, is now taking an off kilter approach to their marketing as well. Instead of standard trailers…

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is finally out and is a tour de force in terms of comic book movies, without question. It currently sits at a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and fans are raving about how WB finally has a true superhero flick in the modern CBM renaissance. Even with an almost all new cast of characters never before seen on screen, and many of them incredibly obscure for even the most die hard comic book fans, Gunn makes you care about each and every one of them. There is one character in particular who quite possibly steals the…

When you look back at the 2016 Suicide Squad and then look at James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, it is a night and day contrast in terms of character development, plot, and overall quality. Seeing the error of their ways with the first iteration, WB handed the reigns over to Gunn and let him run wild- and it paid off in spades. This soft reboot/quasi-sequel saw the return of a few characters from the first film, like Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, and Amanda Waller. One character that was never even considered by Gunn for a return, however, is one of…

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad has been a bright and shining revelation for WB and the DC movies. The latest run of DC films have been met with a plethora of woes and worries, being critically panned, and just not measuring up to what fans expect. One of the most egregious of these was the first take on Task Force X, 2016’s Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer. A glorified music video full of neon lights and lacking in real depth, this movie is getting run through the wringer again by critics in comparing it to the new Gunn-helmed masterpiece.…

Arguably the most anticipated film for both Marvel and Sony right now, the studios have kept an incredibly tight lid on any plot points or spoilers when it comes to the upcoming third Spidey solo flick, Spider-Man: No Way Home. But, that doesn’t stop rumors from running rampant of it being a possible live action Spider-Verse film. With Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina being confirmed to return to their villainous roles from the previous iterations, there is at least some validity to that thought process. Top that with the multiverse breaking free at the end of the first season of…

Marvel and Sony have kept and incredibly tight lip on any real details when it comes to the upcoming third Spidey solo flick, Spider-Man: No Way Home. It is arguably the most anticipated film for both Marvel and Sony right now, yet all we really know is from some toy leaks (which aren’t always accurate) and from a mass of rumors (mostly from some not so trustworthy sources). Now, one of the juiciest details coming out from this film might have nothing to do with the plot of all! It would seem that co-stars and long time friends, Tom Holland…

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is finally out in theaters and on the HBO Max streaming service and it is killing it! (pun totally intended, you’re welcome) Gunn has successfully delivered a fully well-rounded film that is equal parts dark and fun for DC and WB. It is unlike anything from the juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it moves away from the tumultuous run of the DCEU splendidly. Not everyone is loving the film, however – or more specifically, are using Gunn’s opus to fuel their trolling ways by review bombing the movie. However, Gunn doesn’t seemed…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is going to be an emotional movie for sure. Due to the very unfortunate, unforeseen and untimely death of the great Chadwick Boseman, Marvel has had to find the best way to honor the late actor and the character he brought to life whilst continuing the story. Part of how they are going to do this is to introduce some new characters. One such character is the rumored Namor the Sub Mariner, one of Marvel’s oldest creations. And now, a new rumor has a future Disney Plus character making an appearance as well. https://twitter.com/TheComixKid/status/1422295237746036759 The GWW’s…

The original 1978 Halloween helped usher in the slasher horror craze of the eighties, giving us some of cinema’s most iconic villains, including Michael Myers. However, the sequels that followed didn’t exactly do the franchise justice and spiral down the drain with each one. That is until the revival of the franchise came in 2018 with David Gordon Green’s Halloween that retconned all the sequels and instead is connected only to the original. But, over the 3 decades that this franchise has existed, many men have been under the inverted William Shatner mask as the killer Myers. The first was…
