Happy Friday, Marvel mavens and superhero sycophants! It's once again that special, special time of the week when we cap things off with a healthy slew of comic book hero memes. It's a weird feeling to have been witness to the beginnings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. First, it makes me feel my age. “Iron Man” came out 15 years ago. I vividly recall the day that I went to see it in theaters. See, at that point, superhero mania wasn't really a thing. Sure, you had huge blockbusters like the S…

Happy Monday, Marvel fanatics! We're back this week with another marvelous batch of MCU memes . Once again, not a ton of Marvel news to talk about. “Secret Invasion” is still chugging along on Disney Plus. Unfortunately, it seems it's only becoming more and more disappointing. Marvel hit a home run with the series trailer, but boy these episodes aren't incredible. I'll continue to hope that it gets better, but with each consecutive week, that seems like less and less of a reality. But there is…

Happy Monday Marvel fans and superhero heads. It’s that special time of the week when we spend a minute discussing the MCU and indulging in its memes. This week has been somewhat notable considering the premiere of Disney Plus’ “Secret Invasion,” the newest show in the Marvels line of streaming service television shows. After watching it, I’d probably rate it as highly average. That’s not necessarily bad, but a premiere with more excitement would have been preferable when you consider the recen…

This weekend at the 95th Academy Awards, a robbery took place. Angela Bassett did not win Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . She is the first actor to be nominated for an Oscar for a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she deserved it! She should've become the first actor to win an Oscar for an MCU role, but as we know, that did not happen. Instead, Jamie Lee Curtis won a legacy award. Whoopee. It's wild that Black Panther movies are the only…

The last few months have been especially crazy for Marvel Superhero fans. Sure, with all the news, movies, and Disney Plus shows that are constantly dropping, you’d think fans would be used to crazy, but recent times have been crazy, crazy. Let’s start with the new Ant-Man movie. People really don't like it. There has been a barrage of negative reception with many complaining about the lackluster, humorless plot and the CGI being akin to those found in “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl,…

DC Comics has, famously, declared that Batman doesn’t eat p****. That’s because, “It's hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.” So, they’re not morally opposed to it, per se. But it’s money, not morality, that drives these storylines – and that’s always been the case. It just so happens that, decades ago, the best way to sell comics was to explore the romantic, sexual taboos that teenage boys found intriguing. And that's what we're exploring on this very specia l Valentine's…

'Nuff said

In the debate of Marvel vs. DC comics, I feel like most of the world has agreed that Marvel is the superior IP. Even the most DC pilled person can admit that they have a much larger variety of heroes than DC has. The foundational units of DC are Batman and Superman, but mostly Batman. Personally, I can't help feeling inclined towards DC based on the strength of the Batman brand alone. One of my favorite things about Batman are his villains. Gotham City has no shortage of weird guys and girls wh…

There's nothing more endearing than watching religious children try not to swear. They shout “son of a biscuit” after stubbing their toe. These kids have an endless diatribe of “fricks” that comes out of their mouths every day. This goofy censorship is one of the last great American dynasties. One of my favorite non-swear word is “gosh diddly darn." Aside from its obvious southern flair, the alliteration and the modification of “darn” with the far more silly “diddly” elevates this phrase to a p…

Back in 2019, Tom Holland told a story on Jimmy Kimmel of how he allegedly saved the Spider-Man movies. The story goes that, at the time Sony had rights to Spider-Man and was not coming to an agreement with Marvel for them to continue. During this time, Holland apparently was upset that he might not continue his character, so he wrote a heartfelt email to the chairman of Disney , Bob Iger. A few days later, Holland was drunk at a pub with his family when Iger called his cell. Apparently, after…
