The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4: Marvel and MCU Easter Eggs Guide

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers for episode 4, and potentially future episodes and the wider MCU. That sure was a grisly ending to an otherwise slow boil of an episode, wasn’t it? The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4 is heavy on the philosophizing and mostly light on the action…until the end. And while there aren’t as many in-your-face Marvel Comics and MCU references as we’ve come to expect from these Disney+ shows, the events and the weighty dialogue are all steeped in Marvel history. Here’s what we found… The Whole World is Watching…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 3: Marvel and MCU Easter Eggs Guide

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers and potential spoilers for the wider MCU. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 3 might end up being remembered as the turning point of the series. A slow burn first episode led to some bigger revelations in the second one, but the third episode of the Marvel series is a bona fide sequel to one of the biggest MCU movies of all time in Captain America: Civil War. With a truly triumphant return for Sharon Carter and the re-introduction of Baron Helmut Zemo in a form that should feel…

The Coolest, Most Collectible Skybox Marvel Cards

New DVD release, , , ,
This article is presented by We can’t clarify this enough: When the age of Marvel Comics superheroes began in the 1960s, everything changed. Characters like the members of the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and on and on felt more grounded in reality than their comic book peers, and readers immediately took notice. These were relatable figures who balanced real world problems like wanting to fit in with the pressures that come with protecting New York City (then later, the universe) from all manner of unbelievable threats. Due to the unprecedented success of Marvel Comics, the publisher’s stable of heroes…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: The Flag-Smashers’ Marvel Legacy

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. We still don’t know how much of an antagonist John Walker – the new Captain America – will be on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So far, Wyatt Russell’s Walker seems like a guy trying to do the right thing, and a decent enough fella, although his final interaction with Sam and Bucky at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 hints at a darker side. Still, he isn’t what we would exactly call a villain And while we do know that Helmut Zemo will…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2: New Marvel Characters Explained

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. While there are still a number of tantalizing missing credits at the end of Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2, including a placeholder for Emily VanCamp’s Sharon Carter, we do get to meet (and in one instance, hear about) some familiar characters from Marvel Comics who make their MCU debut in episode 2 of the Disney+ series. If you’re not overly familiar with their comics-based origins, though, you might not be too sure about the backstory of our new The Falcon and the Winter Soldier players, or…

Marvel Fans Squint at New MCU Concept Art “Leak” Online

New DVD release, , ,
It’s time to flick an eye over a recent Reddit post and explore a new Marvel “leak” that seemingly gives us a quick look at concept art for some of the studio’s more imminent projects, including Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Are there spoilers ahead? Who can say. That’s a very existential question. Briefly muting the chorus of voices screaming “legit” or “fake” is probably a requirement here, as it is with most “leaks” that make their way online. Marvel has been known to tinker with things right up until the last minute, so even some…

Did The Dark Knight Really Influence the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

New DVD release, , , , ,
In 2008, there were two seismic events in the superhero movie genre so close together that you’d be forgiven for thinking they signaled the same thing. Over the span of a few months, Marvel Studios launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) via Iron Man, and director Christopher Nolan changed the perception of how seriously to take these movies with The Dark Knight. Both are credited as watershed moments for how audiences and (more importantly) the industry approached such stories; and The Dark Knight is specifically singled out as the gold standard by which all other masked crimefighter films are measured.…

Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 1 has finally arrived on Disney+. Now, those of you hoping for mystery box storytelling and surreal weirdness the likes of which we got from WandaVision may be a little disappointed.

Link Tank: The Scarlet Witch’s Treatment in WandaVision vs. Marvel Comics

New DVD release, , , , ,
Disney+’s WandaVision was kinder to Wanda Maximoff than most of Marvel Comics have been to the Scarlet Witch in recent decades. “Despite Wanda Maximoff’s fifty-seven year history with Marvel, comics haven’t been exceptionally kind to the Scarlet Witch, which made WandaVision’s deep exploration of her grief a breath of fresh air. Created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1964, Wanda made her first appearance in comics way back in X-Men #4.” Read more at The Mary Sue. Amazon’s new animated Invincible series is true to the source material and well worth your time. “You can immediately feel the work…

Loki May Already Be the Most Popular Marvel Disney+ Series

New DVD release, , , ,
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is almost here! And you know what that means: it’s time to start thinking about the next project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon. Hey, Marvel has no one to blame but themselves for its audience always looking forward to the next thing. You play with post-credit scenes, sometimes you get burnt. After The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, of course, is Loki, which is set to premiere on Disney+ this June 11. It always seemed that this show had the most potential of any of the early MCU series the studio announced. Tom…

How Star Wars Can Finally Have a Marvel-Like Shared Universe

New DVD release, , ,
Last December, Disney announced seven new Star Wars film and TV projects, giving us a look at what the next few years in the galaxy far, far away will look like both on Disney+ and in theaters. While the Rogue Squadron movie directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman) was the absolute mic drop of the evening, equally impressive is Disney’s plan for the small screen: several new series that expand the stories of fan-favorite characters like Ahsoka Tano and Lando Calrissian. Most intriguing of all is that many of these shows are designed to connect and interact with each other.…

WandaVision: The Unanswered Questions From the Marvel Series

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After two months and nine episodes, WandaVision came to a close. One of the more unique projects to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the show mixed mystery and horror with sitcom pastiche and understandings of grief under the superhero umbrella. The first step in both Phase 4 and Disney+’s Marvel lineup came out a success and built towards future projects. Then again, its mysterious nature worked against it at times. Figuring out answers on a weekly basis meant trying to stay one step ahead of the show and sometimes it got viewers going…

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The final episode of WandaVision is here, and it’s 45 minutes of big screen Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster chaos magic action…but on the small screen. And while pound for pound it’s a little lighter on Marvel Comics and MCU Easter eggs than what we’ve seen in previous weeks (let alone sitcom references, now that we’ve left that world long behind), there’s still PLENTY to dig in to and fun things you might have missed. In particular, this episode sets up at least two upcoming big screen adventures with both Captain Marvel 2 and Doctor Strange…

Marvel’s WandaVision and What’s Next for the MCU

New DVD release,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. WandaVision has concluded with a terrific final episode, and with it, Marvel’s first foray into episodic television came to an end with startling success – taking a quiet story about a woman’s grief and loneliness, one of the most emotionally evocative pieces of MCU storytelling to date, and using it as a thread in the greater MCU tapestry. And that tapestry is unequivocally bigger now that the show is ended. Here are some of the pieces of groundwork WandaVision laid for the future of the MCU. The Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange 2 Lots of…

Marvel Fans React to the WandaVision Finale

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for the WandaVision finale. Please stand by. In the season finale of Marvel’s Wanda Maximoff and Vision spinoff WandaVision, there were inevitable showdowns between two very badass witches and two surprisingly conversational synthezoids. Unanswered questions and tantalising post credits scenes lay ahead. But there was also a little disappointment in store for those fans who hoped there would be a major cameo appearance in the finale, or a possible entry point for the X-Men in the MCU. We began the final episode right where we left off in the penultimate one, as Wanda and Agatha discovered…

Loki: First Marvel Merch Teases Timey-Wimey Plot

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame and the wider MCU Our first look at Marvel’s merchandise for its summer-set Loki series has arrived, and in the words of the great American poet Billy Ray Cyrus, there is much to think about. The initial wave of merch, which has been described by some Twitter fan accounts as “cursed”, “ugly”, “horrible” and “some kind of punishment”, was on full display in the Zazzle store this week far ahead of Loki’s June premiere, but despite a few of its questionable design choices, it does give us a better idea of how much…

WandaVision Finale: Should Marvel Fans Lower Their Expectations?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for WandaVision You could say it all started with one Paul William Bettany. Last month, the star of Marvel’s WandaVision got fans’ attention when he started teasing a new character arriving in the MCU spinoff series that had miraculously survived online leaks, which in turn meant that Evan Peters’ “Pietro” Maximoff definitely wasn’t who he was referring to. “There is one character that has not been revealed,” Bettany told Esquire. “And it is very exciting. It is an actor I’ve longed to work with all of my life. We have some amazing scenes together and I…
