WHAT IF… SERIES REVIEW We grew up reading those wacky “What if…” comics from Marvel that speculated sometimes seriously about alternate worlds where events happened differently in the comics, like ‘What if Captain America had not vanished during WWII?’ and sometimes not so seriously like with ‘What if the Avengers defeated everybody?’. This new animated […]

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE MOVIE REVIEW Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock, the investigative journalist who is cursed/blessed with a symbiotic relationship with Venom, an extremely powerful alien creature that both gives him immense power and totally f**ks up his life at every turn. As they unsuccessfully try to establish boundaries in their coexistence, […]

SHANG CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS MOVIE REVIEW A new hero is born in the Marvel Universe, grows up, hangs out doing Karaoke with Awkwafina in San Francisco, gets tracked down by his evil(ish) near-immortal father (Tony Leung) with immense mystical power, brought to China to help him try to track down […]

LOKI SERIES REVIEW The third of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ tie-in shows is here as Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki. Yes, he died in “Avengers: Infinity War”. But if you were paying attention in “Avengers: Endgame”, that earlier version of Loki who was captured and still a big-bad right at the end of the […]

BLACK WIDOW MOVIE REVIEW The time has finally come, decidedly long overdue, for Scarlett Johansson as the Marvel character Black Widow, to have her own movie. This new adventure, while being released post-mortem, explores what happened to Natasha when she was on the run from the US after the events of “Captain America: Civil War”. […]

MARVEL’S M.O.D.O.K. SERIES REVIEW Hulu, Robot Chicken, and Marvel team-up! Sounds like a one-off Marvel title in the 80s that probably would have had the “Not Brand Echh!” imprint on it. And so, in some ways, is this stop-motion animated show featuring Patton Oswalt as the voice of the giant-headed, hoverchair bound, supervillain (that was […]

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER SERIES REVIEW The second of the Disney+ Marvel shows is here and although it wasn’t quite the watercooler discussion show the previous miniseries was, many argue it’s the superior of the two. The six-episode series follows, in the wake of Steve Rogers’ extreme age jump at the end of […]

WANDAVISION SERIES REVIEW Continuing where the MCU films left off, this first in a series of Disney+ mini series follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as she lives an idyllic and literally sitcom life with her formerly dead partner Vision (Paul Bettany). It soon becomes clear (like, immediately, if you’ve watched “Endgame”) that something is way […]

HELSTROM TV SERIES REVIEW Remember when Marvel announced their “Adventure into Fear” franchise on Hulu that was going to interconnect Ghost Rider and more horror-themed Marvel properties into new shows? Well, all that’s left of it is this vestigial limb, the adaptation of their Son of Satan comics characters, siblings Daimon and (renamed) Ana Helstrom. […]

AGENTS OF SHIELD – SEASON 7 REVIEW Special Agent Phil Coulson and team are back for one last mission through time and space for the seventh and final season of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” This show started with a lot of promise but found itself losing a lot of viewers super fast during its first season.
