As I’ve spoken about in a previous article, I mentioned that I was able to meet Kevin Conroy when I attended GalaxyCon. I had the very rare chance to talk to him for around 5 minutes or so. I truthfully was not expecting to have such an interaction with Mr. Conroy, as I wasn’t aware he was so interactive with his
Read MoreEpisode 1 of What If…? premiered just last Wednesday, and it’s already been revolutionary for Marvel Studios. Not only does the series mark the studio’s very first trek into animation, but it’s also the first of Marvel Studios’ projects to delve into the multiverse following Loki’s explosive season finale. However, the show’s premiere episode did lead to a lot of mixed
Read MoreOne thing comic book movie fans have subtly enjoyed throughout the years is music selected for entrances, montages or even fight sequences. After all, the opening scene to the entire MCM is Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in the ‘funvee’ with AC/DC’s iconic “Back in Black” blaring from a now antiquated CD/Tape player before a word is even uttered. The MCM
Read MoreTo describe my experience watching the freshman and sophomore seasons of Titans, I’d probably use the term “hate-watch.” I binged the show for a couple of weeks after getting HBO Max earlier this year, and I enjoyed sitting in my bed and tearing it apart for a couple of days straight. So, I am not what you’d call a “fan” of
Read MoreThe season 2 premiere episode of Star Trek Lower Decks pays homage to an original Star Trek episode, in its own wacky animated style, while keeping it original enough to be highly entertaining. This show and its characters are “not your Dad’s Star Trek” for sure, and so perhaps not for everyone, but myself being an old Star Trek: The Next
Read MoreMarvel’s first big swing at animation has finally arrived on Disney Plus as What If…? premiered today on the streaming service. The show sees Jeffrey Wright’s The Watcher telling us about the multiverse, as the ending of Loki finally opened up the MCU to the multiverse. The twist is that the stories being told are retellings of previous Marvel movies. For
Read MoreWhen season one of Stargirl first landed on the now-defunct DC Universe streaming service, it felt like a breath of fresh air among the other projects offered by DC. For years prior to the introduction to the DC Universe, the Arrowverse with shows like Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl had been bringing new stories with fan-favorite characters to families around the
Read MoreIn Part One and Part Two of this ongoing series, Nathan Miller and I explored how the street level and global scene of the MCU are about to explode with Phase four and beyond. Those two subsections of the MCM have many connected threads that at times it felt almost impossible to untangle one from the other. Though in many ways
Read MoreHowever you feel about the movies in the DCEU, it’s pretty obvious the franchise was created to try to capitalize on the MCU’s model of success. Warner Bros. tried to rush the building of an interconnected DC universe, and it crashed and burned pretty quickly. While the DCEU branding has continued, things are a lot looser now; not every project based
Read MoreRecently, I attended my first ever con (GalaxyCon) and I’ll be honest, I had no idea what to expect really. I’m not a cosplayer and I had zero previous experience with anything con-related besides watching some YouTube videos. My decision to go was a last-minute decision, as I looked at the guest list and saw an actor from one of my
Read More★★★★ / ♥♥♥♥ The Suicide Squad directed by James Gunn is the latest adventure of the Suicide Squad introduced by David Ayer in 2016. Keeping few of the original roster, the new film features an all-star cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, John Cena, David Dastmalchian, Peter Capaldi, the voice of Sylvester Stallone, and cameos galore. The
Read MoreGhost Rider Nathan Miller, now over at Murphy’s Multiverse, recently connected some dots that our favorite hothead was headed to the MCU. It is unclear which Ghost Rider may be appearing, though Johnny Blaze may be a great place to start. For many people, when asked about Ghost Rider, Blaze’s flaming chain and classic motorcycle is the image that comes to
