Jessica Jones is vastly different than any other super hero property out there so if you go into it with that mindset there a fairly interesting dramatic, pseudo-noir story being told here; along with answers to long running questions about her past and potential for future highly personal conflicts.
Season 1 of Netflix and Marvel's The Punisher was a step back in the right direction for both companies. They managed to finish the story they started in Daredevil, introduce a great new character in Micro, and show a whole different side to The Punisher than we've ever seen before. However, I hope in Season 2 we get a lot more Punisher and a lot less Frank Castle and more action sequences that can match the high mark left from Season 2 of Daredevil.
While Derrickson started the 'Doctor Strange' movies off well, Sam Raimi will take the concept to a whole new echelon of weird perfection.
We're back and we're talking about the biggest movie of the year, Avengers: Infinity War. But before we dive all in, we talk about Michelle Wolf's brutal roast at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and subsequent backlash and give our spoiler-free reactions to the movie. Then we hold back nothing talking about all the scenes of Infinity War, analyzing potential meanings, and theories for the future.
Superheroes are sweeping the mainstream and dominating the box office, but why now? Is this a sign of a shift to an altruistic majority?
The casino scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe provide a unique avenue for further developing the characters and their stories, as well as entertaining audiences with thrilling and amusing moments.
Season 1 of The Defenders should have been a fun, hard-hitting romp that delivered on years of build up in a big way that would shape the Marvel/Netflix cinematic universe for years to come. Unfortunately what we got was a soulless, plodding season that under delivered in just about every way possible. Time to bring on The Punisher.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the first thing that comes to mind when many think of shared universes, but this style of world-building dates back to much earlier.
The Justice League is here (and believe me, I am here for Wonder Woman) but Thor is the true ruler of the box office. If you're trying to decide between Justice League and Thor: Ragnarok this holiday weekend, and you want the most bang for your buck, the latter will leave you feeling just dandy about spending ten bucks of your hard-earned cash and chuckling all the way home.

Season 1 was all about foundation building and they did a fantastic job of that and giving me a real reason to care about the characters and the story unfolding. I would like to see a bit more action in the next season but Season 1's incredible balance, great character development, and compelling story make this one of TV's most promising super hero shows yet.
Season 2 of The Punisher is still full of the satisfying action sequences we've all come to expect from a good Punisher tale but spends far too much time rehashing some of the same beats from the first season - and not the best parts. Still too much Castle and not enough Punisher.
We're back talking about Donald Glover's Adidas collaboration, the message/non-message in Jordan Peele's 'Us', the Notre Dame fire, spoilercasting 'Avengers: Endgame', and much more.

This 3 part series aims to expose societies outdated image of comic culture while exploring modern comic genres as art forms which encompass hip hop, feminism, civil rights, LGBT, and politics.
I’m talking about the rise of what I’ve deemed “meta-entertainment” and how movies are becoming collective, almost communal creative endeavors, and how this practice needs to stop.
Season 1 of The Gifted was a seriously flawed first season that still showed a lot of flashes of promise, especially in the back third. If they can build off of those great moments, add more levity, and ease off the caricatures then it can truly grow into something special, a la Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
'Avengers: Infinity War' brought to the forefront the seemingly ultimate stake in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: death. However, death isn’t the only stake that's been driving things forward.
