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.
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?
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
While I was in Borden for my training, Zack Snyder's Justice League was released for streaming. Being in Borden and not having access to a decent tv set up, I had to wait several months to view it. Four hours is a bit of a haul for a movie, but to me it didn't feel … Continue reading Feminism, Sexism, & Blurry Lines
I profess my love for Superman on a somewhat regular basis. Though I can’t fly, or lift a car over my head, I try to uphold the ideals he stands for daily: helping those in need, doing the right thing, being an inspiration to others. I think the world would be a much better place … Continue reading Overthinking It: Superman’s Fighting Skills – Appropriate or Lame?
One of the things my wife and I like to do when we’re looking for something to put on for noise is head to the Marvel section of Disney+, pick a number, scroll over that many, and hit play. Yesterday that landed us on Iron Man 3. I had forgotten the scene when Tony’s house … Continue reading Overthinking It: Rescue Armour
One of my absolute favourite super heroes is Green Lantern. For those that don’t know Green Lantern is basically a space cop. The Green Lantern Corps is an organization that patrols the 3600 sectors of space (2 GL’s per sector) and keeps the peace. The fact that there are 7200 Green Lanterns is one of … Continue reading Creation is a Force of Will.
