Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts is terrible. I don’t like being this negative, but wow, is this the worst of the Marvel Rising projects I’ve watched. As a follow-up to Initiation, it’s just baffling how poorly everything was handled.
Marvel Rising: Initiation is one of the short, like micro short, series that are set in the same universe as the Secret Warriors movie. Kamala and Squirrel Girl are there. Patriot is there.
Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors is a Marvel movie you’ve likely never heard of before. I hadn’t. It’s a movie about a superhero team with some very familiar names if you keep up to date with the greater MCU canon.
The advertising for Invincible was deceptive. From what little was shown, I figured it would be a generic superhero show with maybe some twist to it. But the first thing I see is the M-rating for violence and sexual themes.
I was almost completely dismissive.
But then I saw the trailer.
This seems like something different.
Why Was The Powerpuff Girls Popular? Back as the controversy regarding the new remake of The Powerpuff Girls raged, I tried to remember what the original show was like. I’d been reminded by the internet that The Powerpuff Girls had surprisingly adult elements, that it was good in a general sort of way, but that…
Shazam! Shows D.C. New Better Pattern D.C. is improving itself and I want to commend them for that—Shazam! and Wonder Woman were both good films and show that the cinematic superheroes from the other side can be fun and interesting and exciting. But that doesn’t mean they’ve come close to the heights of Marvel. Shazam!…
Endgame Is The Correct Name For This A love letter to a movie franchise that’s shaken the world, Avengers: Endgame is something that’s been built to for so long that it’s almost too hot to touch. By doing this, I’m not just reviewing this one movie; I’m reviewing the entirety of the franchise. Endgame is…
What’s A Cartoon Has A Shaky Definition Time to divide the readers of this article: is a movie that’s almost entirely CGI just a cartoon with real-life actors in the middle of it? I realize the knee-jerk reaction to that idea is “no, surely not,” but, well, let’s explore this out a bit, shall we?…
Shazam! Is Another Good D.C. Movie? With Shazam!, D.C. seems to have finally understood that it can’t just try to make dark movies all the time. After several disastrous attempts, they finally seem to have a handle on what they’re doing. Like, sure, the movie looks a bit juvenile and basic, but also seems like fun….
Umbrella Academy Just Doesn’t Impress Umbrella Academy is a meh show. It’s watchable, it’s fun—sometimes—and the score is at least amazing, even if “play peppy song while action or violence happens” is a per-episode gimmick in the first three. But while watching, I couldn’t help but see Heroes. Remember Heroes? The show that contains a…
The Tick Suffers As Most Remakes Do When The Tick came back as live-action, I was rather worried. Remaking a cartoon into a live-action movie is often a bad idea, so, a whole show is a gamble of epic proportions. And, now that I’ve seen some of it, it indeed has major problems. Now, I’m…
