Avengers: Endgame raised many questions about things like time travel, quantum physics and, compulsory heterosexuality, among other things. But one question from the film has haunted me unlike any other: Where did the Mets go?
Hell Of A Cast: Inferno On Screen In 1989
If you’re like me, you’ve noticed that the X-Men movies contain almost no recognisable visual panache, choosing to hem close to an aesthetic legacy founded on the line “What did you expect, yellow spandex?” If you’re like me, you’ll curse this fact in the names of Art and Spectacle.
Who Gets To Be A Sacrifice? On Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame
I don’t know how to feel about Black Widow.
Avengers: Endgame – Captain America, Friendship, and Masculinity
By now, most of us have seen Avengers: Endgame. While the film gave us a lot of feels, it certainly wasn’t without its problems. As the Avengers’ swan song, and the wrap-up of so many storylines, what was surprising was the lack of closure for Steve Rogers and his platonic, male friendships.
Gotham: The Batman Series We Wanted, or the One We Deserved?
Fox’s Gotham has come to an end after an abrupt cancellation in 2018 that was overturned. The popularity of Gotham granted it one final, albeit curtailed, season that turned out to be a fitting end to a show that didn’t always hit its mark, though not for lack of trying.
Twenty Years of Padme Deserving Better
It was 2003 and I sat in the backseat of my aunt and uncle’s minivan watching Attack of the Clones with my cousins. The movie played on the car’s DVD player, making the action smaller than normal. I’d seen the movie before and at this point in the story, Padme and Anakin are trying not…
X-Men Book Club: Havok Makes Us Cry
In our last x-chat, we discussed the whereabouts of one Douglas Ramsay, a mutant who died poorly and has never really recovered well from that. This time around, the X-Men Book Club subject is a man who lives poorly. Alex Summers, brother of Scott. Codename: Havok. He… dab pic.twitter.com/DA3mVeaY8v — The glamour clown from Clowny…
DC Universe Expands Its Comic Selection With One Notable Exception
When the DC Universe streaming service launched last year, what could have been its biggest strength wound up being its biggest weakness. For years, Marvel has been expanding their own Marvel Unlimited service and it currently contains a large swath of their published material. When DC announced DC Universe, many assumed it was going to…
Strategy vs. Spectacle: The Real Victims of Game of Thrones’ Battlefields
Game of Thrones has fielded many on screen battles since first airing in 2011. Whether by land, water, and now by air, every battle has been epic in their own unique ways. But since leaving behind George R. R. Martin’s books and introducing dragons and White Walkers to the battlefield, the show has increasingly failed…
The Violence in the System: Transmisogyny In Uncanny X-Men #17
I don’t like Matthew Rosenberg’s work. I’m just gonna go ahead and say that up front: I don’t think it’s good, I don’t think he understands the characters he’s working with, or if he does, I think he’s sloppy in how he handles them. But he gets a lot of praise, a lot of folk…
Love, Death + Dragons: Wendy’s Totally Plausible Game of Thrones Predictions
There are lots of Game of Thrones predictions and theories around and, with the pending doom of the Night King’s onslaught, I would be remiss if I didn’t get my thoughts out to the world. Last week’s episode, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” featured a lot of maudlin and/or surprising moments where many relationships…
Sansa Dislikes Daenerys on Game of Thrones & That’s Fine
The final season of Game of Thrones is all about conflict, and the premiere episode gave fans a long awaited meeting between Sansa Stark and Daenerys Targaryen. The two share similar backstories, both having survived the abuse, trauma, and machinations of men in order to become respected leaders in their own right. Together they’d make…
