Thoughtful Reflections on Faith and Life
One of the first Marvel series I ever collected was West Coast Avengers (Amazon affiliate link), which included Simon Williams, Wonder Man. Wonder Man has been around for a while and was really the powerhouse of the team. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) expands, they are always looking for the next character to feature. … Read More “Wonder Man: Season One – Review” »
I have been generally disappointed with the recent Marvel projects in the theatres and on television. Most of them have not been terrible but not great either. Inspired a recent sermon I preached, I decided to return to some of the best of Marvel: Infinity War and Endgame. I had not watched them in a … Read More “Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame – Revisited” »
I have been losing excitement over the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years. I rarely see the movies in the theatre unless it is a major event. I was intrigued by the concept of Thunderbolts* but waited until it was available on Disney Plus. In a number of recent Marvel series, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine … Read More “Thunderbolts* – Review” »
The What If…? television series by Marvel is an interesting concept. What if something different happened in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) than what we see in the regular Marvel movies and shows. This concept fits nice in Marvel’s currents focus on the multiverse. So now, instead of just hypotheticals, they are actually parallel universes, … Read More “What If…? Season Three – Review” »
I went to seek Deadpool and Wolverine aka Deadpool 3. I need to preface this review by saying that I have never been a fan of Deadpool. It took me quite a while to see the first one and I have never been able to embrace the crude humour. My problem with the humour in … Read More “Deadpool and Wolverine – Review” »
I will admit that I had my doubts about a Loki television series. Yes Loki is an interesting character and Tom Hiddleston does a fantastic job of portraying him. But Loki died in Avengers, and although a past version of him escaped, that seemed like a pretty thin foundation for a series. It ended up … Read More “Loki: Season One – Review” »
It is too bad that Black Widow had to wait until she was killed off in one of the Avengers movies before she got her own solo movie. This movie proves she could have carried her own franchise years ago. Obviously I enjoyed the movie. It felt like a cross between the Bourne movies and … Read More “Black Widow – Review” »
Marvel has done some amazing movies. Some of them have been better than others. Here is my list from best to worst. I’m only including MCU movies and not the Fox or Sony movies (except Spider-Man: Homecoming since it takes place in the MCU). 1. Avengers: Infinity War 2. Iron Man 3. Avengers: End Game … Read More “Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies Rated Best to Worst” »
Perhaps one of the most radical steps in action movies in recent years has been the shared universe featuring the Marvel Comics characters. When we first watched Iron Man, we had no idea what we were in for. The good people at Variant provide a nice overview of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, just in time … Read More “History Of The Marvel Cinematic Universe – The First 10 Years” »
This is an exciting time for comic book fans as Disney has purchased Fox, making the characters licensed to Fox available to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This mostly concerns the characters related to the X-Men (it may also include the Fantastic Four, but that is more complicated). There are numerous ways that this could be … Read More “What I Wish Marvel Would Do With the X-Men Movies” »
