Jupiter’s Legacy: A Bafflingly Bad Superhero Show
I’ll admit I took three or four days to finish my three-episode watch of Jupiter’s Legacy. This was partially due to scheduling issues, but also because this is one of the most uneven, disjointed, awkward superhero series I’ve ever had the displeasure of slogging through.
Kid Cosmic: Well-Worn Premise Skillfully Done
Kid Cosmic seems like the natural offspring of a few shows, and a few pieces of very prominent media.
Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: A Classic 90’s Formula
Miraculous Has Some Miraculous Stuff To Show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir is Sailor Moon, but for a modern audience, with surprisingly excellent CGI animation. I mean this comparison in almost every sense of the phrase, from the structure to the pacing, to the simple idea of it. Let me break down the…
Captain Marvel: A Fine Marvel Movie
There’s No Deep Issue In Captain Marvel I don’t get the Captain Marvel controversy. The internet’s reaction to this film was just a curiosity before I’d seen it but now is just abjectly confusing. I’m putting a line in the sand here and stating that the movie is fine, not fantastic, but fine, fun, and not…
Too Many Superhero Movies: Is Superhero Fatigue Real?
Superhero Fatigue Might Be Real Here’s a short list of recent or upcoming superhero media. My Hero Academia S3: An anime set in a world where (nearly) everyone has superpowers.

Well…Did Deadpool Deliver?
I’m putting this here to let you know that yes, there will be SPOILERS. It’s been long enough, but I’m still doing it. Also, I am a huge Deadpool fan and have been for many years, but I am going to do my best to be as unbiased as possible. Please enjoy. It happened. I…

Directed by Joe & Anthony Russo. Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Cobie Smulders with Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford. PG-13, 136 minutes.

Why My Girlfriend Hates Iron Man
For the record, I think Robert Downey Jr can be a fantastic actor. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes and if you’ve ever seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, you know he has a talent for comedic timing. Yet every time I have a conversation with my girlfriend about Iron Man, she snorts and tells…
Are There Too Many Comic Book Movies?
Yes, but let me explain why. Comic book movies were never really “in vogue” throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. Oh sure, Superman was seen as a classic portrayal of the Man of Steel, and Tim Burton introduced us to a much Darker Knight than most people had seen in Batman. But these movies were…
