“I hate this town,” he thought to himself as the hammer came down across the back of his skull. He fell into the puddle below as rain continued to pour along his back. He brushed his long, dark hair out of his eyes as he peered into the darkness of early morning to get a look at his assailant. It was a younger man, skilled … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #1
Welcome to the third part of what has become an unintentional trilogy. Within the past several months, I re-watched the original trilogy of Karate Kid movies, then I decided to buckle down and watch the fourth for the first time. Just to complete the trifecta, I re-watched the 2010 Karate Kid remake with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. Interestingly enough, this was the only Karate … Continue reading And Then I Re-watched the Karate Kid Remake
The year was 1995 and I was at the IGA next to my house which had a movie rental section. I was there searching for Mortal Kombat: The Movie which had been released that week. As I made my way to the new releases, a single VHS caught my eye as it often did for about a year: The Next Karate Kid. Every time I … Continue reading Anyway, I Watched The Next Karate Kid
We’ve come to the final entry in this series. Shortly after the second season of Punisher, it was announced that all Marvel Netflix shows were cancelled and further more, it would be two years before Marvel Studios would be allowed to use any of the characters due to its deal with Netflix. It was a massive blow. Jessica Jones’ third season, like the final seasons … Continue reading Marvel Netflix Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 3
But why though? I saw the latest season of Cobra Kai back in January and I guess I just got the hankering to watch the originals. Like most guys my age, I saw the movies as a kid, I really liked them, and then I moved on to other things. I know a lot of people have continued to watch these movies long after the … Continue reading For the First Time In Years, I Watched the Karate Kid Trilogy Again
Promo – Get ready for an exciting, action-packed episode of Moon Knight. Viewer discretion advised as this is a violent and brutal show with darkness and horror and scary things. Cute Hippo Goddess: Tee-hee. I’m so excited you’re here! OMG! Steven: Oi, Marc! It’s a bloom’n talk’n hippo, innit? Marc: Sure is, buddy. She’s adorable. Steven: But we’ve bloody better get out of here. Harrow’s … Continue reading Moon Knight – A Parody Script
So I thought I’d rank all of Spider-Man’s live action movie costumes. Why? I dunno. This site has Pop-Tarts reviews. This is not the weirdest blog topic here. Anyway, I like superhero costumes and Spidey is my favorite superhero so I’m particular on how he looks. Keep in mind this is not a ranking on which movie is the best or which actor played the … Continue reading Ranking The Live Action Spider-Man Costumes
We’re down to the wire with only one more entry to go after this. When the second season of Punisher was getting released, Netflix had maybe two trailers for it even though previous shows had multiple trailers, interviews, and other promotional material. Daredevil hadn’t yet been cancelled but I remember a lot of people realizing that it wouldn’t be around much longer. It was unfortunate … Continue reading Marvel Netflix Retrospective – Punisher Season 2
At this point in Netflix Marvel’s history, both Iron Fist and Luke Cage had been cancelled and the remaining seasons of Daredevil, Punisher, and Jessica Jones were being released almost a month from one another. I recall the build-up to Daredevil’s third season having almost no promotion from Netflix, which made me think the whole franchise was on the chopping block. After all, Daredevil was … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 3
We’re winding down to the last few entries in this series. At this point in history, it seemed the Marvel Netflix showrunners were certain there would be future seasons, as evident by the number of cliffhangers in Phase Two. In reality, Marvel was removing itself from Netflix so it could stream more MCU-centric shows on Disney+ in the future. During this time, Netflix was trying … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 2
And we’re back! Phase Two, as I like to call it, began with Jessica Jones season 2 and the second season of Luke Cage followed. Around this time, we had the announcement that Disney was going to be launching their own streaming service which would include Marvel properties. With the next few seasons premiering within months of each other, the writing should have been on … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Luke Cage Season 2
Welcome back to my retrospective. We are now entering what I like to call “Phase Two” of the Marvel shows on Netflix. It’s basically the final seasons of all the shows. This phase also didn’t quite have the critical acclaim as the others, sadly. The hype was gone, there had been quite a few bumps in the road, and some of the later seasons didn’t … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 2
We’re on our last entry. 2021 was a great ride in terms of the first batch of MCU shows on Disney+. Just before Christmas, we were given the appropriately holiday-themed show, Hawkeye. This was the show I was most looking forward to. First of all, the show was supposed to be following the Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye series and while I hadn’t read it, I … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Hawkeye
As a young lad, there were comics I would buy on a regular basis and comics I would get on a whim or if something caught my eye. The one comic I would get on a semi-regular basis was What If. As the name implies, it presented familiar comic stories and explored the possibility of things turning out in a completely different way. Often, it … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – What If…?
When Disney+ announced they would have MCU series on their platform, they did so by revealing the first three shows: Wandavision, Falcon & Winter Soldier, and Loki. They released a teaser shortly after that. If you notice, the only thing they had for Loki was a logo and a short clip with him looking into the camera and saying “I’m gonna burn this place to … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Loki
