Readers, there’s just over a week left until Avengers: Endgame is released in theaters

And from what I’ve gathered, outside of casual movie-goers, there are two types of people who are going to go see it.

The type that have been enjoying/genuinely hyped for the Infinity Saga since they began hinting at it in the first Avengers movie, and the type that have been invested since Iron M...

Doom Patrol Episode 9 RECAP (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Readers, I’m happy to announce that this episode and probably the next episode of Doom Patrol are extremely streamlined

No B plots, just one solid story from beginning to end, which considering this episode of Doom Patrol I was not only expecting, but would’ve been pretty upset about if it actually DID interrupt with a B plot

Because you don’t just tackle a subject as complex as Jane’s actual mental health, and then decide to through a “meanwhile” scenario...

Hellboy (2019) Review (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Story

  • I’m upset, because this movie had a lot of potential.
  • It had themes it wanted to explore, and I could tell that some effort was made in order to explore them considering how Hellboy was used to explore them, but its only done at a surface level because it put too much focus on the spectacle.
  • I’ve read The Wild Hunt. This story is awesome. It did such a great job at exploring Hellboy’s struggle between his two natures, King Arthur shit asi...

Thanos: Titan Consumed - A Book Report (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Book Information

Thanos: Titan Consumed is a work of fiction steeped in the genre of Science Fiction. Y’know, different planets, space battles, Nova Corps being EVER so useful as always

It was written by young adult author Barry Lyga, who’s actually known for writing a Dexter-like Young Adult serial killer series called “I Hunt Killers.” So the fact that he’s writing the story of one of Marvel’s most well-known sociopaths makes a hell of a...

Readers, while I’m definitely interested AND READY to see a new take on the Addams Family, I’m...cautiously optimistic about this one.

Because number 1: The cast looks great!

/You got Oscar Isaac as Gomez, Charlize Theron as Morticia, Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley, Chloe Grace Mortez as Wednesday/

Shazam! Review (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Story

  • It was a solid and faithful adaptation of his introductory arc in the New 52
  • Nothing felt out of place as far as pacing was concerned and everything happened organically
  • The moral of what true family means was handled very nicely throughout the movie; it did a good job of conveying it with the version of Shazam that they went with
  • It also makes the eventual arrival of Black Adam a huge deal when it happens, because it’ll be all him f...
