How the Marvel Cinematic Universe Chooses Its Heroes

New DVD release, , , ,
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the most valuable storytelling properties in the world and it’s done so not always by betting on the most popular characters. This was certainly the case with Iron Man, the MCU’s first proper installment, which centered what was widely considered to be second-tier Marvel character at the time. In his book The Big Picture: The Fight for the Future of Movies (via ScreenRant), film historian Ben Fritz explains that Marvel originally intended to open the MCU with Captain American, but that plans changed when focus groups of children chose Iron Man as…

Link Tank: Why You Should Watch We Can Be Heroes

New DVD release, ,
It’s hard for any sequel to live up to an iconic movie, but The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl‘s follow-up, We Can Be Heroes, does just that. “No one expected a sequel to 2005’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, but We Can Be Heroes proves it was a good idea. Robert Rodriguez’s new film creatively expands the world first established in the original movie and upgrades the action sequences and special effects.” Read more at Inverse. The newest Internet Health Report from Mozilla shows that algorithms still have major bias issues. “Wondering about the health of the internet, both…

Future State is the Next Evolution for DC’s Legion of Super-Heroes

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Future State: Legion of Super-Heroes #1 Never let it be said that Brian Michael Bendis doesn’t know how to keep busy. The prolific writer has had his hands full since coming to DC in 2018. Arriving with much fanfare on both Superman and Action Comics, Bendis also relaunched Young Justice, co-created a new DC mainstay in Naomi, wrote the excellent Batman: Universe, shepherded the Event Leviathan mini, and more. All of these books introduced new characters, re-tooled existing ones (such as aging up young Jonathan Kent to his mid-teens), and set various wheels in motion…

Robert Rodriguez on We Can Be Heroes and How Pedro Pascal Reminds Him of Harrison Ford

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Robert Rodriguez is a man of many hats – in every sense of the word. While he has been known to rock a fedora or two down the years, the idiom is more a reflection of his “one-man film crew” approach to movie-making, with Rodriguez known for not only writing, and directing but also doing everything from editing to operating the camera. It’s also a reflection of his ability to turn his hand to disparate genres and movies aimed and markedly different audiences.  Having made his name with movies like El Mariachi and From Dusk till Dawn, the new millennium…

Heroes Was A Missed Opportunity

New DVD release, ,
Beginning in 2006, NBC’s pulpy comic book-esque series Heroes ran for four seasons consisting of 77 episodes and over 30 online “minisodes.” The original run was followed up with 13-episode reboot Heroes Reborn in 2015. All in all, the franchise produced over 65 hours of content. Of those 65+ hours of Heroes, 20 seconds are absolutely, devastatingly perfect. That 20 second of Heroes nirvana occurs in the 20th episode of the show’s first season, “Five Years Gone.” In it, the temporally-displaced Hiro Nakamura and his friend Ando Masahashi time travel five years into the future to discover what will become…

My Hero Academia The Movie – Heroes: Rising Review

New DVD release, , , ,
My Hero Academia has only been around for a few years, but it’s already gained mass acclaim and become one of the most popular anime series in years. The series consistently pushes its characters to challenging new places, but it can be difficult for supplemental feature films to capture the same level of importance and feel like they’re not stuck inside of some non-canonical bubble. My Hero Academia’s first film, Two Heroes, was considered a success by fans, but the series is now in a more complex place where its endgame is increasingly on its mind. Thankfully, My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising isn’t just an…

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis

New DVD release, , , ,
Skip It The Movie:Before getting into Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis, I have a random story here, which I've scantly harkened back to in similar DC Comics/Lego/Warner collaboration efforts. My almost two-year old is a fan of Moana, and watched it a ton, to the point where instead of saying TV' to request us turn it on, he says Moana.' Recently though, I successfully weaned him onto stop action movies, specifically Wes Anderson stop action movies. So now he watches Isle of Dogs for the doggies, I watch it for the jokes. Viva parental trickery!Anyway, Rage of Atlantiswas written by Jim…
