Having just finished my marathon of Star Wars so that I could enjoy the Rise of Skywalker, there was something that kind of irked me. Despite it's obvious flaws and the fact that it tries to retcon the terrible Last Jedi, there is one thing that stands out to me about the sequel trilogy, the... Continue Reading →
Comics 101 – The MCU: Iron Man
This week, I wanted to start a new inclusion into my blog as a whole, comics 101. This inclusion comes at the request of Marlee who just finished her marathon of the entire MCU with my good friend, Ryan. They finished Endgame last night and then at about 11:45 last night I was blasted with... Continue Reading →
Who Is Taskmaster?
With the release of the the final trailer for the upcoming Black Widow movie on May 1 of this year, the main villain is highlighted specifically. Now to most, he just looks like another faceless bad guy who will survive for one maybe two movies before the hero kills him. But to myself and several... Continue Reading →
The High Republic – A New Era for Star Wars to Explore
Earlier this week, Lucasfilms announced a new initiative for their expanded Star Wars Universe. Rather than making the already highly regarded Legends material canon, they've decided to start a new time frame to create new stories. This time frame is going to be called The High Republic era. Now the official synopsis is that this:... Continue Reading →
Epic Grudges in Comics
I was perusing Instagram yesterday and came across a fairly humourous post about Tom and Jerry. The post author said that "They have the realest beef in history. No words. Just trying to beat the crap out of each other on sight". Obvious colloquial grammar issues aside, the author was right. Tom and Jerry barely... Continue Reading →
Symbiotes – Who’s Who, and How Many Are There?
With production on the sequel to Venom ramping up and the absolute Carnage event closing out a couple of months ago, I thought it would be a good idea to explain who all the symbiotes are and how they came to be. Now, first thing is that for those who have seen the Venom movie... Continue Reading →
Snake Eyes – The Upcoming G.I. Joe Spinoff
Recently, I've been keeping track of a new upcoming movie for one of my ( and many others) favourite G.I. Joe characters, Snake Eyes. The franchise has been on the back burner since the lackluster G.I. Joe - Retaliation from 2013, starring Dwayne Johnson, Byung-hun Lee, Adrianne Palicki, DJ Cortrona, Elodie Yung and Ray Park....

Rise of Skywalker – Please Don’t Suck…
As the days tick by and the release of the conclusion of one of the greatest movie franchises comes to an "end", expectations are high. I have made my opinion of The Last Jedi very clear on numerous occasions. Would I consider myself a butt hurt fanboy? Not really, because all of my gripes come... Continue Reading →
Carnage – A Psycopath Unmatched
Carnage is one of the more modern characters introduced in Marvel's Spider-Man comics that rose to prominence and has remained as one of the wall crawlers greatest adversaries. His origin is kind of weird, but the villain that Carnage becomes in mostly granted thanks to the person the symbiote bonded with, notorious serial killer Cletus... Continue Reading →
Epic Fantasy TV – The Battle For The Top Spot
With the frankly disappointing ending to the massive multi season hit, Game of Thrones (GoT), an interesting void has been created. Lots of companies are starting to realize that epic fantasy makes excellent TV if done correctly, and everyone is trying to cash in on the success that GoT was known for. The large bit...
