Marvel’s Iron Man IP has never been more successful than its reign and existence within the cinematic adaptation of the comic book franchise. The armored superhero, another popular Marvel comics character, was a notch below Captain America when it came to the glazed paperback issues. But Robert Downey Jr.’s cinematic debut as Iron Man was a vision and a delight when it came to showcasing the hero’s fraught journey and an origin story. However, all of that comes to a standstill when one learns how the MCU fandom was to be robbed of all the tantrums, snark, humor, and heroism…

While spinoffs could be lucrative, the dark comedy’s peculiarity has much to do with Wednesday as a character, making them ultimately pointless. Netflix’s Wednesday and the Addams Family world it brought back to the small screen proved so successful that it warranted talks about potential spinoffs, however, a Wednesday spinoff would misconstrue why the Netflix crime mystery TV show works. Released on November 23, Wednesday ended up being both critically acclaimed and widely watched, being streamed for more than a billion hours and occupying the top spot of the Global Top 10 TV shows in English for four weeks and counting. Still, talks about Wednesday spinoffs seem premature and could…

So, does Raimi have a time machine, or is it just a coincidence that makes it look like it’s all been planned out? Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home has toyed with the idea of the multiverse just enough to both grant the greatest fan service it ever could and spark heated debates on how all these separate timelines are connected. But while there are tons of potential plot holes and inconsistencies, there is also at least one amazing coincidence that makes No Way Home work perfectly… as a sequel to a movie that was made almost two decades ago. One Reddit…

The third installment in the Captain America franchise was originally based on a completely different Marvel storyline, but Kevin Feige turned it down for not being “big enough.” Captain America: Civil War has become one of the biggest and most successful Marvel projects. The movie revolves around a conflict between major MCU superheroes over a superhero registration act. It basically puts Captain America against Iron Man at the same time introducing such important superheroes as Black Panther and Spider-Man. Six years later, it is hard to believe that if Kevin Feige hadn’t stepped in, the story would only feature a…

Internet debates on who can beat whom among characters and factions from various fictional universes are almost as old as Internet itself. Sometimes people get incredibly invested in them, employing frame-by-frame analysis of movies, complex scientific calculations – and tortured rationalizations to explain away inconsistencies in feats and powers, which are common in fiction. Thankfully, one debate which is popular this season, thanks to release of House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power, requires none of that. Who would win a fight between the Night King from Game of Thrones and the movie incarnation of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings…

The Westerosi world and the land of Essos have never been one to shy away from blood and gore. And it is only reasonable to assume that the prequel to Game of Thrones aka House of the Dragon will be tangentially more innovative when it comes to bloodbaths and massacres than the events that take place 200 years later. However, as far as the plots of Season 1 of the prequel spin-off go, there have been a handful of shock factors and a whole lot of family drama. But now, the series showrunner, Sara Hess, has finally promised the fans some action and it…

James Gunn and Peter Safran James Gunn previously announced that he would be able to share a few glimpses into what the said slate will look like at the beginning of the new year, 2023. Now, this…

For months, the DC drama has taken up center stage in the unfolding saga between the CBM franchise and the people who constitute its fandom. However, what has since constituted one of the most divisive battles was James Gunn’s back and forth with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the time succeeding the former’s appointment as the CEO of the new DC Studios. Now, with Henry Cavill’s Superman gone, the fandom seeks a reasonable answer as to why The Rock’s film would lead to the fandom witnessing the complete annihilation of the SnyderVerse in the hands of DCU Chief, James Gunn.…

The color contrast is most prevalent in…

Eternity was featured in Phase 4’s divisive Thor: Love & Thunder, but the cosmic entity might have been better suited in a different MCU project. One character was featured in Thor: Love & Thunder that would have been a much better fit in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Love & Thunder released in July 2022, only to be met with an incredibly mixed response, becoming one of Marvel Studios’ most divisive projects. Another Phase 4 project was met with a similar response, despite being received more positively than Love & Thunder, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also had its flaws. One change could have…

From The Black Dread to beautiful blue dragons, Game of Thrones has some of the most stunning dragons in fantasy. Which ones are the biggest? Along with new characters, new houses, and (hopefully) a few new locations, House of The Dragon promises to breathe new life into Westeros. But its biggest departure from Game of Thrones will be the amount and size of the dragons.

It was a time when there were dozens of Targaryen dragon riders, and these dragons grew to…

One of Scotland’s greatest actors, and of our generation, David Tennant has remained on the public scene for nearly 40 years and is yet to disappoint his fans. Delivering one after another great role, the Scotsman’s career has spanned such incredible characterizations as the Tenth Doctor in BBC’s long-running project, Doctor Who, and Kilgrave in Marvel’s Jessica Jones. However, even the diversity, range, and exposure that his career brings him has done little to educate the actor on social media culture, especially the faction that communicates via the decodable emoji language. David Tennant Also read: “It was like being handed a very lovely present”:…
