My good friend David posted a well-reasoned column “What’s so great about high school Spider-Man?” last week, which you should read here before reading this rebuttal because, well, that’s how these things work. So go do that. … OK, welcome back. And for those of you who can’t follow instructions, … Get hard
TV has become a year-round affair that’s nearly impossible to keep track of, with most of the best and our favorite shows airing anywhere but fall (Game of Thrones, Hannibal, Orphan Black, True Detective, Parks and Recreation). Aside from The Walking Dead, is there a must-watch show premiering this fall? Probably not, but I watched … Get hard
On the heels of Sony’s latest announcement regarding an upcoming superheroine film with a 2017 release date, I stumbled onto an article on TheWrap.com that asked their staff to come up with what heroines they’d like to see on screen. The article was divided into self-explanatory groupings “The Femmes” and … Get hard
I love Norse mythology. While Marvel has profited massively by watering down and taking liberties with THOR and their version of Asgard, there is undeniably more stories to tell, many of which don’t involve Natalie Portman as a damsel in distress. That’s precisely why I was excited to watch the … Get hard
San Diego Comic-Con is at a tipping point. This was my second year at Comic-Con, so I’m by no means an expert, but I don’t think anyone would argue with me when I say that SDCC has become bloated, unwieldy, daunting and to be honest, kind of miserable, at times. … Get hard
Well, this is why we’re here. This is why I have permanent back damage and could sleep until next year’s Comic-Con at this point. What do we have in store for us? RDJ intro’d the panel two years ago. Hiddleston did last year. Is James Spader going to bring on … Get hard
Plans don’t always go accordingly, but sometimes, it’s for the best. I succumbed to sleep and ended up avoiding massive lines in Hall H, and now find myself in Ballroom 20 for the Marvel TV panel. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter and maybe…Daredevil or Netflix stuff? I’m stoked. With news that Lucy … Get hard
Right now you’d be in your arm chair, a mug of beer in tow, watching the newest installment of HBO’s GAME OF THRONES. Unfortunately, you won’t be doing that this Sunday night. GAME OF THRONES’ fourth season was probably its best yet, which is an impressive statement, since the first three seasons were essentially … Get hard
Optional Music Accompaniment: The theme to the X-MEN animated series. On repeat. I’ve always been a man defined by his hobbies and obsessions, whether it be Ninja Turtles, baseball, Beanie Babies, Star Wars, fantasy sports, or TV. From 2000 to 2007, my Northstar was comic books, and I’d argue, was the most … Get hard
YE BE WARNED: ARROW 2×20 SPOILERS AHEAD, MATEY. I have never read any of The Flash’s comics. Frankly, the only thing I ever knew about The Flash was that he had a red costume with a lightning bolt and was part of the DC Universe. But that didn’t stop me … Get hard
