MCU 2!

Time for the second half of the MCU review............ The hidden gem, or Age of Ultron. Hear me out here. My first watch through I thought what a load of crap this one is. THEN a couple years later as the MCU expanded I had a new found respect for it. Ultron isn’t really the big thing, it is all the other things going on. Lets start with the lame. Like how or why does Hydra have the staff / infinity stone? And when did everyone, the Avengers I mean just hook up and start looking for that? The whole thing just doesn’t seem to get any traction. I mean I can’t put my finger on it BUT it just seems boring. HOWEVER this is the good… First we get a peek that Wakanda is coming. Then we Get Vision, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Did you know she is the Olsen twins little sister?? Crazy Eh? And sadly Quicksilver dies, super lame. But we also get another infinity stone, building the MCU even more. On top of all that the fallout from Tonys murderbot will carry the next how many movies wi...

MCU Part 1

I am breaking my own rule and blogging when I said I wouldn’t. However I am doing it where I shouldn’t and keeping my mornings open for editing, so that’s not cheating myself right? Anyways with some blockbusters coming out and Punisher fresh out I think I need to break down the MCU. All 18 films and maybe the TV shows too. But before I do that I have to take a minute and talk about Stan the Man. The guy who started it all. The last decade of his life must have been amazing, to top of an already great life. The guy took a “childrens” medium and got to watch it blow up into pretty much the biggest movie franchise ever. Accomplishing a 1/10th of that would pretty much fulfill my life! Now lets be honest, Stan was the face. Over his career he did create a hella lotta cool shit and was lucky enough to work with many great modern storytellers who helped build marvel. He wasn't the only one, however he was the one we all knew. But I did have to just take a minute to recognize the m...

COMIC GEEKS WIN!

I got an unexpected yet awesome text from a friend last night watching the first Daredevil of the new season. He gave rave reviews to the show and to Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) Sorry all you other punishers you were kinda lame. 20 years ago when I got into comics it was a "nerd" thing. I kept it quiet so people didn't think I was gonna grow up and be a serial killer. Only the friend who texted me last night actually got how go they could be AND introduced me to more adult comics. Preacher blew my frickin mind. Now it is a golden age! Some how the nerds and geeks have take over mainstream! I will not lie Robert Downey  mighta had a huge deal to do with that. Marvel rules the big screen DC is about to battle for it it is nerd heaven right now. So for fun I am going to yap / review about the few things (only) on TV or Big screen that nerds have brought to us! (To you normal people) As a small disclaimer Robert Downey did play a huge part as Tony Stark bringing people in b...
