I would be genuinely surprised if
Read MoreFor my entire life, all I’ve heard about is how great He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was. My Mom and Dad were born in the mid-70s, so He-Man was very much my dad’s bag. However, my only experience with He-Man (beyond catching one or two local late-night tv eps) was a VHS of the live-action film from the 80s.

Read More★★★ / ♥♥♥½ When the social media reactions for the G.I. Joe reboot Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, things weren’t looking so great. As a matter of fact, the Rotten Tomatoes score for the film sits at 44% as I type this review. But if I can be honest, the negative reviews only got me more excited. I have a weird
Read MoreSince Warner Bros. attempted to recreate the shared universe magic of the MCU, starting with 2013’s Man of Steel, things have been a bit rocky for the company.

In this case, I’m taking a look at an IMDB listing for dialect
Read MoreThor: A Brother Throughout the MCU, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor has gone out of his way to protect Loki, pleading for redemption and love from the brother that just wants to stab him in the back. Even when Thor remains skeptical of the motives or actions of Loki (Thor the Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok stand out specifically) he continues to involve
Read MoreIt has been a long wait for new episodes of the DC/HBOMax series Titans, since its season two wrapped in November 2019. In some other timeline, season three would have aired by fall 2020. However, due to Covid-19, production was pushed with filming just wrapping this past June. During Covid, this became the new norm. With a few exceptions; Wonder Woman
Read MoreMatt Reeves’s The Batman hits theaters on March 4th, 2022, as it was delayed from its original release date of October 1st, 2021 due to Covid. The movie features an all-star cast including Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, Paul Dano, and more. The film will see Batman in his second year as the Caped Crusader fighting
Read MoreIn the past, a couple of us here at The Cosmic Circus have taken it upon ourselves to come to the defense of certain movies and creative decisions that are looked on negatively by a lot of people. I tackled Spider-Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 2, and more recently Brian and Uday approached the depiction of Taskmaster in the new Marvel
Read MoreHowever, I think it’s more likely that Antonia slowly becomes the MCU’s version of Tony Masters. Right off the bat, the name Antonia can be seen as a feminized version of Tony. Seeing as how Antonia’s only line in the entire film is “Is he gone?”, referring to her abusive father, it’s clear that she wanted to be free of Dreykov’s
