When The Falcon and the Winter Soldier first came out, I was really looking forward to it. I won’t say I was disappointed after watching it, but I will say it had a few week spots. Well….it had one MAJOR weak spot: I didn’t really buy the Flag Smashers. The concept was great, but the … Continue reading Captain(s) America

My wife and I watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 recently (so good!!), and it got me thinking about James Gunn taking over DC movie universe. Actually, it got me thinking about why the “old” DCEU failed, and I think I can boil it down to a single thing: the writing.I am a huge superhero … Continue reading Why I Think the DCEU Failed.
My wife and I recently finished a Game of Thrones marathon, and I would like to talk about something I had forgotten about: Tormund & Brienne. During the initial viewings of the series I didn’t really think much about them, other than having a chuckle during the scenes where they interact, but before this viewing … Continue reading Overthinking It: Tormund & Brienne
Hawkeye seems to get a ton of hate on social media, but he has always been my favourite Avenger. To figure out why is not difficult, we just need to do a rollcall of the original 6 Avengers: A Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist A genetically enhanced super soldier. A god. A genius scientist with “breathtaking … Continue reading Hawkeye is the Best Avenger.
I saw a post on social media the other day, that was asking who the bravest non-hero in the MCU was. The original post suggested that it was the old German man in the first Avengers movie. You know the guy: I don’t completely disagree. That was definitely an awesome scene, and there is no … Continue reading Overthinking It: The Bravest Person in the MCU.
I was on the treadmill the other day, on my second km of a 5k run, when something terrible happened: my headphones died. My music helps me set my pace, so without it I started singing a little song in my head, which often ends up being “The Star Spangled Man with a Plan” from … Continue reading Overthinking It: Where did Captain America Learn to Fight?
My 3 regular readers (if they’re paying attention) know that I love movies. A large portion of posts on my blog are dedicated to movies. My wife and I often rate movies and tv shows on IMDB, and it may surprise you to know that we have rated over 800 titles, and none of them … Continue reading How to Enjoy Bad Movies.
It seems to me that the Golden Age of Streaming is over. My wife and I subscribe to several services and it seems to be more and more difficult to find new, quality programs; and far too many new programs that we do enjoy are getting canceled before their time. I read recently that one … Continue reading The Golden Age of Streaming is Over.
I've never really liked the scene in Avengers: Infinity War where Peter Quill (aka: Starlord) punches Thanos and wakes him from Mantis' trance just as the glove was being removed. From a movie perspective, I totally get it. It makes for a more entertaining movie, but I didn’t think the scene really worked. Up until … Continue reading Overthinking It: Starlord Punching Thanos
My last post was about fear being a bad thing, and there are many situations where that is absolutely true; but there are also many situations where fear can be a good thing. I mentioned in my last post that “Any time I feel myself getting angry or scared of something I try to stop … Continue reading Fear: A Superpower?
