Marvel Phase 3

Everyone's probably heard about the Marvel event where Marvel announced all of its phase three movies, but I'm going to do a recap with some of my thoughts:

Captain America: Civil War (2016): Based on the amazing graphic novel, this story will circle around the government wanting superheroes to enlist and register their secret identities. The movie will be slightly different because everyone knows all the heroes' identities. Expect an Ironman vs. Cap fight that should rival the Shakespeare in the Park scene from the Avengers!

Doctor Strange (2016): This one shouldn't be an origin movie, but will open up the magic side of the Marvel Universe, much like Guardians of the Galaxy opened up the cosmic side of it. Just don't use his arch enemy, Dormamu, in his first film and I won't complain. Also, Cumberbatch in a Marvel movie can only be a good thing.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017): More Groot and Rocket, obviously. Otherwise, keep doing what your doing!


Thor: Ragnarok (2017): This movie will either have our favorite thunder god fighting the giant serpent Ragnarok, or follow the comic and have the gods be destroyed and reborn with no memory. Oh, and more Loki, can't have a Thor movie without Loki.

Black Panther (2017): The king of Uganda will feature in Captain America Civil War, and will likely face an enemy we'll be seeing in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ten points to who ever can find Ulysses Klaw in the trailer!

Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 (2018) Part 2 (2019): I just hope it doesn't turn out that I waited six years for Thanos for nothing! That would suck. Also, that second part probably means they can't defeat him alone and call the Guardians for the second film.

Captain Marvel (2018): The first female-led Marvel movie, Captain Marvel will follow Carol Danvers' adventures on Earth. Wait, Earth?! No, no, no, Captan Marvel is a space hero that often teams up with the Guardians, why is she on Earth? Also, I had this little conspiracy theory that Sky from Marvel's Agents of Shield was going to become Captain Marvel since the show has been featuring lots of alien (Kree!) related stuff. You'll see. Probably...

Inhumans (2018): The final movie in Marvel's Phase 3 is the Inhumans, Marvels response to the X-Men. The Inhumans are a race that has been hiding from humanity, and are exposed to a gas that gives them powers on their 18th birthday, or something like that.

Well, that's it! I don't know where Ant-Man fits in, although its probably coming 2016 or 2015 since they showed some few-second scenes in Marvel specials. Thanks for reading!

Age of Ultron Trailer: What's in Store?

I expect that anyone who breathes oxygen has seen the new Age of Ultron trailer. If you don't breath oxygen, here's it is:
Okay, now in the trailer you see several versions of Ultron, the killer robot that we expect has been built by Tony Stark. This means they are staying fairly close to the comic Ultron, who constantly rebuilds himself to become more powerful. Second, you see the twins from the after credits scene of Captain America: Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver. Although Marvel has to really try to beat X-Men: Days of Future Pasts's Quick Silver. Finally, we see Hulk destroying stuff, and even the Iron Man Hulkbuster armor about to be put to use. This could hint that Marvel is ready to shoot Hulk into space to stop him. Planet Hulk anyone? Anyway, I will be posting about the upcoming phase 3 marvel movies!

You'll Never See Thor the Same Again

Think About This
 Disney Owns Marvel
Marvel Owns Thor
In the comics, Thor is now a Girl
Thor's father is the King of Asgard
Thor is now a Disney Princess
I just BLEW your mind.



Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

What happens when you combine one of your most beloved childhood TV shows with Michael Bay? This summer's guilty pleasure. TNMT had a good plot, but terrible written, and questionable acting, although I'm sure the actors did the best they could do with the script they had. Except for you MEGAN FOX. Other than that the movie was bearable, and I did my best to avoid being seen exiting the theater. Uhhhh... 6/10

Oh yea, Shredder was awesome, making a samurai seem modern is hard to do, and they did it better than The Wolverine!

Guardians of the Galaxy Review: Warning! Spoilers!

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the greatest Marvel movies ever, rivaling the Avengers itself. If you've seen the movie, you would probably agree. From Drax's punch lines, to a dancing Groot, to a Howard the Duck after credits scene, Guardians of the Galaxy was funny, surprising, suspenseful, and action packed. There was just one problem. They repeated over, and over, and over IF YOU TOUCH THE STONE YOU DIE. They also showed that the Tesseract (Avengers) and the Aether (Thor the Dark World) were in the same category. Therefore, if you touch them, should you not also die? But NOOOO Nick Fury grabbed the Tesseract being all "Screw safety!", and Thor's girlfriend had the Aether inside her. These "infinity gems" are very picky and choosey on when they want to turn people to dust. Other than that, great movie, must see!

New Hulk Movie?

There has been talk of of new Hulk movie that will the story of Planet Hulk. Personally, I remember this as "that one animated Hulk movie on Netflix", but you may remember the epic graphic novel that gave us Skarr. Don't hate if I spelled it wrong. The animated movie (I haven't read the graphic novel) shows Hulk battle himself, should he get back to Earth, should he help the people of this strange planet? As well as battling himself, he must fight a variety of opponents in a gladiator ring, from rock-men to giant, robot worms. This was one of the good animated movies that came before DC started pumping out these crappy animated movies every other month. Remind me to complain more on that subject later. Anyway, the animated movie (and I suspect the graphic novel) were amazing, and if they do end up making a live action movie, I hope they do the originals proud.

Godzilla Review

Okay, you probably read the terrible reviews online and in the papers of this movie, but the truth is...  MONSTER BOOM BAHM GIANT BUG RAWR!!!!! NUCLEAR BREATH SMAAAASSSHHH!!!!! HELLL YYYYEEEAAAA!!!!! GOOODDDD FF****KKKIINNNGG ZZIIILLLLAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO THE HELL NEEDS A GOOD STORY!!!!!!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review

This movie was amazing, but not as amazing as the first one. On one hand I was super pumped to see three of the better Spider-Man villains (I'm looking at you average Lizard), but on the other hand I didn't want this movie to repeat the previous Spider-Man trilogy's "Spider-Man 3" mistake. As it turned out, it was a mix of both. Electro had an actual story and a new and, slightly improved origin. Green Goblin's origin was new, and, well it was new. Rhino's origin was... short. In fact, I think I'll give you the screen times:
Electro: 1 hour
Green Goblin (not as Harry Osborn): 10 min
Rhino (not as Gangster): 2 min, literally all the Rhino scenes were in the trailer. Seriously
All in all, not the best.

Justice League: War

This animated movie is based on the New 52 Justice League Vol. 1. The movie follows the book perfectly except for one important point. Where the hell is Aquaman! He played a key part in the graphic novel and many other Justice League stories! Should you forget the more recent attack on the "earth-dwellers" by Atlantis, which Aquaman stopped. Also, if you are going to replace Aquaman with another hero, make it a better hero. Captain Marvel (Who they renamed "Shazam" so no Marvel mix-ups) does not count as a better hero. He is Superman, if Superman was an immature danger to those around him. And so I conclude, Justice League: War, is not worth the watch. I am sorry this came late.
