The comic book world is one of fantasy and other worldly abilities. Physics and practicality do not apply on the pages of your favorite comic, even when it comes to a character’s outfit. Many times, they seem to pick fashion over function, and even sometimes blur the lines of decency and common sense. Problem is, physics and practicality do exist in the real world, as well as the cinematic one. The outfits of your favorite heroes and villains don’t always translate well in the MCU. While characters like Captain America have a very similar outfit to the comic material, others…

Since Iron Man (Tony Stark) first appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics in 1963, it has been common knowledge that he was the son of Industrialist Howard Stark. However, a few years ago, the truth came out that he was actually adopted. Tony finally met his real mother, rock star turned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Amanda Armstrong, before falling into a coma during the second Civil War storyline. Armstrong used her rock star global touring schedule as a perfect cover for her secret agent duties. The person that had not been revealed, however, was Tony’s father. All he had been told…

It is common knowledge now that the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel is going to begin production soon and that the story takes places minutes after the conclusion of Avengers 4. But, other than rumors and innuendo, very little is known of the film’s plot. Also, after the events of Avengers: Infinity War, marketing for the film may be a bit on the tricky. However, Marvel doesn’t seem too worried about it and they certainly have a plan in place. Well, now according to someone over on Reddit who is considered a “trustworthy” source, some possible plot leaks have surfaced. Of course, take these…

Sony Pictures have some grand ideas for their extended Spider-Man Universe after partnering with Marvel Studios to bring arguably the best interpretation of your friendly, neighbor Spider-Man to the big screen. Whilst Peter Parker resides deeply in the MCU, the plethora of characters Sony has at their disposal to create their own cinematic universe comprised of Spidey villains and supporting characters. The Venom movie is quickly approaching as well as the Silver and Black movie is planned. Another film planned is for Morbius, The Living Vampire. Now, thanks to The Hashtag Show, a logline describing the basis of the film’s…

Avengers: Infinity War, the third Avengers film and the beginning of the end of an era, is still raking in the big bucks at the box office and is continuing to be the talk amongst fans, debating rumors and theories from the film as well as for the upcoming yet-to-be-titled Avengers 4. Well, over on Reddit, a new theory about the end credits scene has been tossed about as a nod to the original Avengers director and his show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. For those of you who have seen the film (if you haven’t seen it yet, look away!),…

Show Dogs is this year’s animal infused kid’s film, a standard movie troupe in the PG realm. The Jason Arnett led film, which was released ironically the same weekend as Deadpool 2, is about an FBI Agent (Arnett) joining forces with a police dog, Max (voiced by Ludacris), to find the whereabouts of a stolen baby panda. To do this, Max must go undercover as a show dog (thus the title, get it?). Obviously geared to a very young audience, one would expect the Raja Gosnell (director of films like Scooby Doo, Smurfs, etc) helmed flick to be full of…

Avengers: Infinity War brought fans the first chapter of the finale to the MCU’s Phase 3, and with it came some devastating events that many didn’t see coming. We saw many characters bite the dust (pun intended) after Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half the universe’s population. Among the more shocking deaths were the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, and, of course, Spider-Man. What makes some of these so unbelievable is the fact that they have sequels planned for Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, the director of Doctor Strange wants to do a sequel,…

We are truly in a time of change in Hollywood. Thanks to the #MeToo movement, more and more victims of sexual abuse, discrimination and inappropriate behavior have felt the courage to come forward with their horrific tales. Perpetrators who have hid behind their fame and fortune are finally being shown for who they are, such as Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, T.J. Miller, Luc Besson, and more. Now, another name to possibly add to that list? Legendary actor and producer, Morgan Freeman. The 80 year old Freeman is being accused of sexual comments and inappropriate behavior by 8 women, with another…

Avengers: Infinity War has been the ambitious start to the Phase 3 finale for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Setting the record for the largest opening weekend of all time, Infinity War has been pretty much loved and adored by fans, giving them an epic story with unexpected twists and lasting questions as we wait until Avengers 4. Some of the questions, however, weren’t exactly intentional. These inquiries are commonly known as “plot holes” and they are all over the comic book and movie business. And, when you have such an ambitious film continuity like the MCU, spanning 19 films so…

On of Stephen King’s scariest works, IT, first came to life on the small screen in 1990, but finally made the jump to the silver screen with last year’s monster hit adaptation. Now, IT: Chapter 2 will chronicle the second half of the story where the children of Derry have all grown up and dealt with the ramifications of the first film in their own various ways. But, another 27 years has passed since Pennywise’s last appearance, and the terror has come back to haunt them in horrific ways. Joining the cast as the adult Ben Hascom is Mary Kills…
