Falcon and The Winter Soldier: Sharon Carter Arc Explained by Head Writer

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains SPOILERS for THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER. One of the more controversial narrative threads of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was the journey of former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter. The niece of S.H.I.E.L.D. charter member and Steve Rogers’ great love Peggy Carter (and, briefly, a love interest for Cap as well), the well-meaning and pure-intentioned Sharon found herself out of favor with the U.S. government and on the lam after helping Steve in his quest to find and clear Bucky Barnes in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War — which included disregarding orders and returning the…

Sharon Carter Deserves Better Than the Falcon and the Winter Soldier Finale

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe giveth and the Marvel Cinematic Universe taketh away. The MCU proper’s first foray into scripted television resulted in the magical, near-perfect WandaVision, a thoughtful exploration of grief and trauma that finally elevated one of the franchise’s most oft-neglected characters. Its second is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, a sadly ham-fisted origin story for Sam Wilson’s much-deserved turn as Captain America that stumbles over everything from its politics to the specifics of its basic character arcs. As a whole, the series suffers from dreadfully uneven pacing,…

How The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Finally Gives Sharon Carter Her Due

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER spoilers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has its fair share of issues: The bizarrely uneven pacing, the mixed messages about capitalism and propaganda, the fact that Flag Smashers is literally the stupidest name for a villain supergroup in history even if they do exist in the comics. But like WandaVision before it, the series truly excels at giving multiple sidelined Marvel Cinematic Universe characters a chance to finally step forward into their own stories. In just three episodes of this Disney+ series, we’ve already seen more acknowledgment of Sam’s struggle as a…

Marvel’s What If? Trailer Explores Peggy Carter as Captain Britain, Black Panther, and More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Usually overshadowed by its live-action brethren, Marvel’s What If? was one of the earliest Disney+ series to be announced. Information on it has been scarce for the most part. We knew it was animated. Two of the plot concepts were made public (Agent Carter receiving the super soldier serum and T’Challa becoming Star-Lord). Each season would feature 10 episodes. Nearly the entire cast of the various Marvel movies would reprise their roles in the form of voice acting. But other than that? Not much. Now, along with the utter hailstorm of Disney/Marvel news from Thursday, we have a real deal…

David Duchovny is Down for More X-Files if Chris Carter Wants

New DVD release, , , , ,
As you may recall, The X-Files was sneakily stowed away into Fox’s proverbial classified government facility, put away indefinitely after the 2018 revival season concluded controversially. While this fate was essentially sealed by the subsequent exit of co-star Gillian Anderson, the other half of the franchise’s iconic duo, David Duchovny, is making it clear that he’d return to the series. Plans for another season of the series have yet to manifest, but Danish X-Files podcaster Sammensværgelsen recently got an interview answer from Duchovny that was intriguingly multilayered after asking the inevitable question about a possible return as Agent Fox Mulder…

X-Files Animated Spinoff Must Be Funny, Says Chris Carter

New DVD release, , , , ,
The X-Files as we once knew it appears to be all but over after 11 seasons spanning the course of 25 years, two feature films, and numerous comics, books, and video game tie-ins. On a show where famously no one ever really dies, the prospect of another run with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson is all but dead. That’s thoroughly disappointing for fans who were (to put it nicely) unsatisfied with the season 11 finale and series creator Chris Carter himself recently said he was “sorry” for how the series ended with a string of cliffhangers that may never get…

The X-Files Creator Chris Carter “Sorry” For How Series Ended

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The X-Files news beat has been relatively quiet since season 11 concluded with a finale that introduced more questions and sharp criticism than resolutions to storylines that had been building up for the better part of 25 years. In a recent interview with a Danish X-Files podcast called Sammensværgelsen (which translates in English to “The Conspiracy Podcast”), series creator Chris Carter said he always intended for The X-Files season 12 to resolve the cliffhangers of “My Struggle IV.”  Carter maintains he was caught off-guard by Gillian Anderson’s decision to leave behind The X-Files for good this time, and stated that…

Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President

Max SchindlerMovie reviews, ,
If it hadn’t been for a bottle of scotch and a late-night visit from musician Gregg Allman, Jimmy Carter might never have been elected the 39th President of the United States. The documentary charts the mostly forgotten story of how Carter, a lover of all types of music, forged a tight bond with musicians Willie Nelson, the Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan and others. Low on campaign funds and lacking in name recognition, Carter relied on support from these artists to give him a crucial boost in the Democratic primaries. Once Carter was elected, the musicians became frequent guests in the…
