How ‘Spider-Man Across The Spider-verse’ Can Live Up to the ITSV

In the few short years since the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, it has quickly become one of the most meaningful to me. Not only did it open my eyes to a new standard of comic book and animated filmmaking, but its themes have stuck in my head since the very first time I saw it. Watching a character I

‘Hawkeye’ Theory: Laura Barton May Be Mockingbird

With four episodes down and two more still to come, Hawkeye hasn’t disappointed. The series has incredible action sequences, heartfelt moments, and more from our favorite archer.

Theory: The Fates of the Ant-Men

Recently, our very own Ant-hony Flagg reported on the interesting image on a stunt crew shirt from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This particular shirt has the logo for the movie along with a picture of the Ant-Man helmet. The reflection on the helmet revealed Jonathan Major’s Kang the Conqueror looming.

Pitch: My ‘Sinister Six’ Film and Making Sense of Nonsense

Ever since the latest Morbius trailer dropped, I just can’t stop thinking about the muddled and messy nature of the Sony Marvel universe and I’ve been dying to make some sense of this.
