It's a done deal that Peter Parker is part of the MCU, and fans couldn't be happier. Sony still makes the movies, but now Marvel keeps a close eye on them and ensures that everything Sony does lines up with what they have planned in the future. But unless Marvel made another deal that...

With the success of Nolan's Batman trilogy, the brutality of the Arkham games, and the ever-darkening tone of the DC Cinematic Universe, it's clear that people love having a darker, grittier Batman. Dawn of Justice even exemplifies this by having what people argue is the most brutal on-screen...

Pretty much what I've been observing as of now. It makes me glad that Rebecca Sugar hasn't stepped into this mess, though I have this sick feeling that if she said anything the crazier parts of the fandom will be ready to pounce on her and rip her to shreds. Considering how some of the posts are...

Here's a subject I wanted to open to you guys here, and I wasn't sure where to put it since this can apply to both games AND non-gaming media alike. There was some recent Tumblr drama that I won't go into details with, but let's just say that a certain animated series has an extremely rabid...

So at this point is it possible for this movie to do so poorly that Marvel can take it back, or is Fox able to just shit out a movie every ten years with no consequence?

Maybe they're going to address all the damage Hulk cause when they were in Johannesburg plus the utter destruction of Sokovia. Who knows what other cities and nations were decimated as a result?

So today I decided to visit one of the comic shops in my area and I overheard a conversation a middle aged dance teacher was having with the shopkeeper on how her students really liked superheroes and was planning to have a dance recital with a superhero theme. When she asked about superhero...

So I just read the latest development in Fox's reboot of Fantastic Four and already the change to Doctor Doom is adding more salt to the wound of many Fantastic Four fans: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=110856#comments And while I was tempted to get my fanboy...

To all the Marvel comic fans out there who've also seen the movie, is there anyone out there who can identify the alien races that were in the background? I can identify Xandarians (humans on Xandar), Terrans (Earthlings), Krylorians (pink skin), Sakaarians (Ronan's mooks), and Kree (Ronan and...

So there have been floating rumors about Mark Ruffalo's performance as Bruce Banner being so well received that another Hulk movie could be a possibility. However, when I mentioned this to my sister who's got a casual interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she failed to see how a third Hulk...

So it's pretty clear that the X-Men in the Marvel Universe is supposed to be an allegory for racism and oppression and all of that. It's fairly clear that a lot of normal citizens are afraid of mutants because they possess destructive powers that they can't control. Fair enough. But if the...

If you ask me, the appeal of an umambiguously good Superman is comparable to the appeal of Captain America in an age where everything has to be "darker and grittier" because realism. I've had this discussion before with others who thought of Cap as another boring goody-two-shoes while evil is...

I think most of us know about "That Guy". You know, the one who always complains and nitpicks about even the best of things to the point where he seems unable to enjoy it again. The best known image of "That Guy" in popular culture appears to be Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, and to this...

So many critics and wannabe critics in both print, online, and YouTube often pride themselves in having high standards. I've noticed too that when it comes to geek focused stuff (i.e. comics, movies, cartoons, video games, etc.) there are many nerds who wish to see the things they loved as kids...

Interesting you bring this guy up, because it was his series of Kickstarter Nightmares that piqued this question for me. I feel that there are times where he has a point, but then the way he defines it made me think that anything on Kickstarter could be labeled E-Begging. Take for instance...
