DAREDEVIL CANCELLED

Image
With Iron Fist and Luke Cage being canceled, it seemed like the Marvel shows on Netflix were coming to an end, and that is the reality for arguably the best show, Daredevil. That is right, after three seasons, the man without fear will not be getting a fourth season with the show being canceled. There were no official reasons given to the show's cancellation, so it is all up for speculation. But if I had to guess I would say that the show was canceled because of potentially low viewership of the third season (Netflix doesn't release any official numbers though), or there may have been issues between Marvel television and Netflix regarding costs, or creative issues. It is really disappointing to see that Daredevil is canceled, and I would say that the two shows in production will end after their seasons come out. That being Jessica Jones season three, and Punisher season two. Back in 2013 with these shows being announced, I was excited to see these characters get their own...

"DETECTIVE PIKACHU" TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
They did it, it finally happened. I remember when this was announced with Ryan Reynolds, I don't think I covered it, but I thought that it would be absurd at the time, but here we are, Warner Brothers, Legendary, and the  Pokémon   Company have come together to create the first-ever official live-action rendition of  Pokémon   in Detective Pikachu, directed by Rob Letterman To start off, Detective Pikachu is based off the Detective Pikachu game, which I have not played. I do know the bases, a rough-talking Pikachu detective works with a boy. The film seems similar to the game based on this synopsis given for the film: " The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim (Cody Smith) to find out what happened.  Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds): a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himse...

THE LEGACY OF STAN LEE

Image
Stan Lee has created and has inspired the base of not only the past 70 years of Marvel comics, however, the ideas and forms which heroism can be seen in, as portrayed in by all comic book companies, television, and film. One of Stan Lee's first massive creation at Marvel was Peter Parker, Spider-man. Not only did Lee and Ditko create one awesome design with the character, however, Lee also added the idea of the fundamentals of being a hero can be seen in each and every one of us. Peter Parker is much like a regular person, who didn't have to stand up to face the threats of evil, however, he chose to. He chose to become the hero, and that choice does lie in every one of us. When evil gets too much, it may be too much for an individual with one good will to handle. Lee's creation of the Avengers represents this. The idea of individuals with all good wills coming together to not only stop a threat, however, also learn from each other to become better heroes, better pe...
