I mean he is on of the coolest underrated characters in the Marvel universe, but what makes him even cooler? Well he means we are half way to the show I'd kill to see! The other half has just been cast. Iron Fist. Now I know that after Iron Fist comes out we have the Defenders mini series and that's great. I'm looking forward to that one. I am. But after it is over how about instead of seasons two of Iron Fist and Luke Cage Marvel goes a different direction?
What direction is that? Heroes For Hire! Let Luke Cage and Iron Fist open up shop and save the day, well for a price. Now that is the Marvel show I'm dying to see.

So we finally have our first look at the new Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Spider-Man. I mean all he does is flip and say one line but it is still a big moment. This movie keeps getting more and more exciting. I mean I don't know how many of you read the civil war comics when they came out but it was one of the most exciting times to be a comic book fan.
Now like in the comics, it looks like Spider-Man is on Tony's side, but why would he sign up with the government? We are just getting to meet him and he is already telling the world who he is? Shouldn't it stay a secret a bit longer? Just a thought, but I don't know what happens in the movie and Marvel hasn't had a misstep yet. Not a one. They have been killing it every movie, more and more. Just two more months till we get to see the third Captain America movie in theaters and I can not wait. So it turns out that J. Jonah Jameson will not be played by Ice Cube. How sad is that? It would have been amazing to see him in the role. He would have killed it. I mean he has played the role of asshole boss before in movies like 21 Jump Street.
Now there are a few people who are perfect for some roles, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Hugh Jackson as Wolverine and J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. Now if we could get him back for the role than do that! He was made for that role. He looks and sounds the part better than anyone else ever could but if you can't. If Marvel and Sony want to stay away from the past when moving forward than they could really do worse than Ice Cube. He would own the part quick fast and in a hurry. Who do you guys think should play the part? Pottermore is the gift that keeps on giving. Now JK Rowling has dived into the magical world of North America. In what she tells us will be a four part series detailing the history of how magic evolved differently over here in the states. All of this is to help set the stage for the new trilogy of movies that follow the writer of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them. A prequel series to the Harry Potter films. Now as happy as I am to get these, and I am. I love Harry Potter and am always excited for more, the prequel series I'd much rather have is about the Marauders. The short film Severus Snape and the Marauders gave us a small taste of what it could be. I'm also really excited about the new book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I know it is just the scripts but hey its a start. The only down side to it is that it will most likely contradict the James Potter series of books.
http://www.jamespotterseries.com/indexOriginal.html It is such a great series. I know, I know, fan books aren't as good as the real thing but than again take a look at the fan film above and tell me that fans can't do things just as well the professionals. Another Predator movie? How should we feel about this? I mean the first one is one of the greatest action sci-fi movie I've ever seen. Arnold Schwarzenegger going toe to toe with an invisible alien that hunts people for sport. There aren't a great deal of movies out there that can top it.
So why wouldn't another one be amazing? Well the 2nd one was horrible. And that is coming from me, I try to like everything at least a little. And I mean it's not the worst movie, it's no The Farce Awakens. Then there are the crossover movies with the Aliens series. They weren't as bad as Predator 2 but no where near on the level with the first one. Robert Rodriguez's third one simply titled Predators was an amazing movie so what have we gathered? The Predator series is very hit or miss. Hopefully this 4th one keeps with the feeling of the first one or the 4th but avoids the pit falls of the middle ones. So what do we know about the film so far? Well we know that it is due out March 2, 2018, that Shane Black is directing it and that he has been meeting up with one Arnold Schwarzenegger. Maybe it's nothing or maybe he is coming back for the newest movie. How amazing would it be to have him back in the uh fighting seat? Yeah we will go with that. Fighting seat. That would make it such an amazing movie. I mean the last Terminator movie, while not loved by a lot of people was in fact a great movie. Schwarzenegger is a great action star. Everyone knows it, so lets put him back into movies and make them great again!
Look I use to love Power Rangers when I was a kid. I would run home to watch it, unless Dragon Ball Z was on. I even stuck with it past when I should have stopped, and I understand that when you are creating something you don't want someone else to show up and do it better but I'm also not big on censorship. I say let the world see both and decide which one they like more. That's just me. Look I'm not trying to bad mouth this movie, after all Elizabeth Banks is in it and that is more than enough reason for me to want to watch it. Part of it might also be my normal hate of remakes and the fact that the other one that was forced out was a sequel, playing off of what came before instead of erasing it. But let's see how it turns out before we decide.
It is a good time to be a Marvel fan. The movies are doing better and better while getting better and better. The Netflix shows can't be beat and it seems that the ABC shows will go on forever even if the ratings are low. Agents of Shield has already been picked up for a season 4 while reports are suggesting that Agent Carter is being brought back for a season 3.
Now Agents of Shield may not have started out as the best show on TV, it wasn't as bad as people said but it wasn't on par with the movies, it has started to grow into something that everyone can be proud of. Getting better and better with every episode. If you aren't watching Agents of Shield than you are really missing out. It's shorter sister show Agent Carter, while not as on the edge of your seat exciting as Agents of Shield is far more fun. It's a show about Peggy Carter and the organization that came before Shield. She teams up with Jarvis and saves the day, first in New York then LA. We can only hope that this source is correct and that we really are getting a third season of this amazing show. The more shows in the MCU the better as far as I'm concerned. And who knows maybe in season 3 we get more of Howard Stark. He is the highlight of the show when he comes on. Sony wants to make a Venom movie. A Venom movie that doesn't take place in the MCU, didn't they just reboot Spider-Man to make him fit into the MCU? What the hell are they thinking over there? Ok look, Venom is one of my favorite characters. There is not another character in the Spider-Man lexicon that I care about more so maybe I am a bit overly protective of him but can you blame me after Spider-Man 3?
Sony forced the character into that movie against the wishes of Sam Raimi and look how that turned out. He was nothing more than a evil Spider-man when the character is so much more than that. It was as bad as the X-Men movies. Almost as if someone just flipped through a comic book saw a picture and said lets do that with no care given to the heart of the character. Sony can't do that again! If they want a Venom movie, and we should have one, then what you do is simple. You set him up in the Spider-Man movie and spin him out like that. It wouldn't be hard and it would have a connection to the MCU which would give it a huge boost in the eyes of the fans. Plus Marvel won't let you mess with their universe so they will make sure it comes out good. And isn't that what we all want? For it to be a good movie that the fans love and Sony makes money off of it. Everyone wins, why is this so hard? If Sony is dead set on making a movie outside the MCU using Venom than there is still a way to make this work. Don't use Eddie Brock. Now you might be saying what the hell man? How can you make a Venom movie without using Eddie Brock? Use Flash Thompson instead. Instead of going with the bulky Venom, which they should have used in Spider-Man 3, make Agent Venom. Make it a spy series instead of a superhero film. People might not get it right off the bat but if you make it good it could work. It's the only way that people will go along with a Venom movie outside of the MCU. I guess the key is to stay as far away from Spider-Man 3 as you can. So the man, the myth, the legend Joss Whedon is returning to the world of comic books! No not Buffy or Angel, although I do hope he does a few arcs in season 11 if we get a season 11. Please let us get a season 11. But back to the point, Joss is coming back to comics. To Marvel no less for a special 75th anniversary issue of Captain America Sam Wilson.
It's hard to believe that Cap is 75 years old this year, and Rogers is set to return to the uniform sometime this year, giving us two different Captain Americas because Falcon won't give up the shield. I'm guessing there will be some kind of fight between the two. It would be interesting if that tied into the Civil War 2 series that is coming out. Cap vs Cap, the best fight since Cap vs US Agent. Joss Whedon is teaming back up with John Cassaday, the man who drew Astonishing X-Men when Joss was writing it. They worked well as a team back then so it is nice to get the gang back together so to speak. I can't wait for this to come. It sounds as if it is only for part of the issue and a one time thing but maybe if it goes good Joss will come back to do more books. March 25 will see the Bat go toe to toe with the man of steel for the first time in live action. This could be the biggest moment in comic book or film history! Or not. Who knows, but we all know that it is going to be beyond exciting for comic book fans. I know I'm going to be in the front of that line.
Now when this movie was first announced a lot of fans, myself included felt that DC comics was trying to hard to be the Avengers. Only dark. As time went on and we started to see the trailers we started to have faith that maybe they were just going their own way. That it will be as good, well almost as good, after all Joss Whedon is writing or directing this one. All that changed when DC went on the offensive and insulted not just Marvel but fans. They said that Marvel movies were dumbed down and that they were scared that the audience wouldn't understand their film. Uh what? How complicated are your movies that we wouldn't understand them? If the point of that was to say hey we are better I think they forgot that most of their fans over lap with Marvel fans. They just spit in the face of a lot of people who are the same people they need to get into theaters. This isn't the first attack on Marvel. The actor playing Aquaman said f#*k Marvel and Joker and Harley Quinn are wearing shirts that say the same. Instead of promoting what is arguably the most anticipated movie of all time all they are doing is bad mouthing the people who made this possible for them. Let's not forget that it was a DC film, a batman film that killed comic book movies before a Marvel Film, Blade, brought them back and Iron Man that changed the game forever. Batman V Superman is going to be a blockbuster, it is going to sell a lot of tickets but how will it be remembered? It has to now top every Marvel movie in order to be a success. Not only Batman V Superman but suicide squad and all the DC movies that come out after have to beat the Marvel films as well. That is the bar they set themselves. March 25th we will see what DC brings to the table and two months later we will see how Marvel handles the same film, only with characters that we have grown with. |
