Finally, I got to see Spider-Man: Far from Home after nearly two years. It had been a missing piece in my viewing of the MCU—and I’d been really wanting to see it that entire time.

Into The Spider-Verse Is A Masterpiece Considering the movie already won an Oscar, I don’t think I need to push too hard on getting you watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But, just in case you haven’t heard this: you need to see this movie. It’s a comic book given the animation treatment, and it does it…
It’s here! It’s now less than a month until the movie we’ve all been waiting for (most of us anyway; at least since The Avengers) … Avengers Infinity War! The trailer features Easter eggs galore including the Black Order. But mostly it’s just so awesome to see all the characters we know and love coming…

So we’ve been going over the recent E3 trailers here at Sci-Fi Bloggers and it’s exciting what’ going on there. Here are some brief thoughts on the best ones and then *ahem* Editor’s Choice for Game of Show. DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN Detroit: Become Human is the latest (probable) masterpiece from Quantic Dream.

The Marvel event of the year finally hit screens this week and everyone is scrambling to see the Cap on Iron Man action. So did the big names deliver? The thing I was most impressed with is the presentation of where Steve Rogers and Tony Stark were at the time. The first scene involving Stark…

However, this will be the first film of…

In October of 2000, Marvel Comics created the Ultimate Universe. This alternate dimension took favorite characters and de-aged them to make them more relatable to a new generation of comic book fans. Additionally, it freed the characters from the decades of back-history that otherwise would intimidate the new generation from reading the comics. Then in 2011,…

As if the world needed another film about Transformers, it appears that we will be getting another Transformers universe, which we definitely didn’t ask for.

Marvel Comics writers draw inspiration from all literal archetypes when creating characters: the man-monster (Hulk), the billionaire playboy (Iron Man), the mythical god (Thor), and so on. But for every rising star, there were dozens disregarded because of inadequate manpower and the financial pressure of developing characters proven to sell books. With so many heroes…

Let’s say you have this suit capable of changing into anything you want it to. You just think of what you want it to look like, and it becomes it. Now let’s say you have this rival who, while well-intentioned, is a bit of a hothead and has a tendency to blame you for everything…

Three years ago this week, Joss Whedon and Marvel made history. A movie featuring a ragtag group of superheroes, a little ditty called The Avengers, became the third highest grossing film of all time. It had the biggest opening weekend ever in the U.S. and Canada. Batman did pretty well, too. The Dark Knight Rises and…
