Image

AVENGERS 'WHAT IF?' ANIMATED SERIES

Image
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has told one single coherent narrative of the 'Infinity Saga' for the past decade in twenty-two films, and now, like the comics, we are going to be seeing alternate stories from the MCU, like the "what if" comics in an animated series coming to the Disney Plus series. The series as it is named will not be canon with the events of the MCU, however, the series is going to tell their own alternate timeline of events based off the MCU. With this being heavily tied to most likely the current Avengers roster and alternate paths Earth's mightiest heroes, the series will be overseen by the man himself, Kevin Feige, in addition to Marvel Studios itself, like the rest of these Disney Plus shows. What gets me excited about these animated adventures is the crazy ideas and alternative events we will see from this series, and I am guessing that these stories are not going to be too subtle like changing minor nitpicks about the films, s...

AVENGERS ENDGAME TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
Hey everyone, with no warning, Marvel has dropped the new trailer for Avengers Endgame today, as we get a closer look at the team back together, more action from the first half of the film, and the solution to stop Thanos once and for all. Slight spoilers ahead for Captain Marvel in this, so you have been warned. In the opening scene of the trailer, we see previous shots from Iron Man I of Tony's origin in becoming Iron Man. "It's felt like a thousand and years since I got out of that cave." I am assuming that Tony is still adrift in space in the Benetar with Nebula, and is making a recording to Peper through the Mark L helmet. Tony says that he has one last "surprise". Since this message is to Pepper I am guessing that Tony is referring to the Rescue armor that he has made for her getting activated being the surprise, which is rumored to appear in Endgame thanks to toy leaks. In the comics, the Rescue armored is piloted by Peper and is used prim...

THE FLASH 'FAILURE IS AN ORPHAN" REVIEW

Image
Season 5 Episode 16: Hey everyone, we are back with a brand new episode of the Flash, directed by Viet Nguyen, where we see the final showdown between team Flash and Orlin Dwyer, Cicada, as Nora tells them according to the future, and her connections with Eobard Thawne. So spoilers ahead, let's recap the episode. Back in 2049, Nora visits Eobard where he tells her that there is something breaking through and trying to manipulate the timeline, as Nora sees that the time for Barry to defeat Cicada is coming soon. In 2019, a new Meta-human, Acid Master, emerges as he soaks up some chemicals and runs away from Barry and Nora, leaving a trail of acid in his path. Back at STAR Labs, Nora recognizes the acid from a future newspaper where Barry and Cicada were last seen fighting, so she starts a mass investigation on how to track, stop, and talk to Cicada to get him to take the Meta-human cure. Joe and Cecile go to question Dr. Ambres to see her relationship with Orlin, but then ...

CAPTAIN MARVEL POST CREDIT SCENE BREAKDOWN

Image
With Captain Marvel coming out, we got two post-credit scenes which tease and teased the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spoilers ahead for the post-credit scenes of Captain Marvel, which there are two of. So let's breakdown the two post credit scenes, and all that they hold. In the mid-credit scene, we see the pager Nick Fury had in the Avengers Facility. Meanwhile, and unshaven Steve Rogers looks at a hologram of a counter of everyone who went missing as a result of the snap. The total missing human population on Earth is 3.2 billion and counting. There are also individual country counters around a map of the world, counting the millions of missing individuals. Steve says that "This is a nightmare"  which blonde hair Black Widow responds "I've had better nightmares." The pager turns off, and Rhode tells Steve and Natasha. Steve asks Banner if he can turn it back on, and he says that he doesn't even know who is receiving the signal. Black...

CAPTAIN MARVEL NON SPOILER REVIEW

Image
Well, after an eight-month hiatus from Marvel Studios films, we are here with the debut of Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. This is a non-spoiler review of the film, I will have a review full of spoilers coming out later this weekend. So let's get into it. Captain Marvel is set in 1995 and focuses on Kree warrior Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) discovering her past on Earth and as an air force pilot, as she attempts to put a stop between an intergalactic war between the Kree and the Skrulls, with the help of pet cat, Goose, and a young SHIELD agent, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), and other allies from her past. One of the biggest stigmas around the film is that it is more or less trying to push a political agenda. I personally didn't see that to a degree, and I feel like that has been blown out of proportion. The film plays on the theme of identity, and the idea of being true to yourself. Maybe people thought about that because of one of the music cues,...

ARROW ENDING AFTER SEASON 8

Image
The Green Arrow, Stephen Amell himself has confirmed that Arrow season eight will be the final season of the show. So with that heavy statement, let's talk about what is going on, and what will happen in and out of the Arrowverse. Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life... but you can’t be a vigilante forever. Arrow will return for a final run of 10 episodes this Fall. There’s so much to say... for now I just want to say thank you. — Stephen Amell (@StephenAmell) March 6, 2019 Earlier this year, we knew that all of the DCTV shows on the CW were renewed for a new season, and we also knew that one of the shows were going to have their final season. I had the guess that it was either going to be Legends of Tomorrow or Arrow. But now we have found out that Arrow will say its goodbye in season eight. Season eight of Arrow is going to be significantly shorter than anyone other DCTV season, rounding out at ten episodes for the season. Thi...
