Happy Monday, Marvel Cinematic Universe fanatics! We're back once again for your weekly dose of Marvel gaffs and superhero memes. It hasn't been a very eventful week in terms of Marvel news. That's not particularly interesting, but sometimes no news is good news, right? The new “Secret Invasion” Disney Plus series is… continuing, I guess. The first two episodes haven't shown us anything particularly impactful or interesting. I'm still holding out hope for a bump in quality. There's a lot that M…

Ruh roh, Scooby-Doo memes

I got in pretty late as a fan of “The Simpsons.” Like a lot of people, I grew up watching reruns, somewhat enjoying them, but mainly just watching them because they led into the “Family Guy” reruns on Fox. That was my young brain. I was way too young for the golden age of Simpsons and not quite at the point of the not-so-great modern Simpsons. It was just a somewhat entertaining show for my elementary school brain. It wasn't until my late teens that I discovered peak, golden age Simpsons. A fri…

It's almost too much to bear

In what I thought was one of the top ten most profitable franchises of all time, but turns out to be THE most profitable franchise of all time, it’s more than safe to say that we all have been exposed to Pokemon in one way or another. And that’s great! I imagine there’s a lot my current self and my 8-year-old self would disagree on, but I can say we’d get along concerning Pokemon. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and, once you separate yourself from the idea that the core concept of Pokemon is making…

Memes on memes

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…

I've never considered myself a Trekkie. Sure, I like Star Trek. I powered through the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds while battling Covid-19. The show, which follows the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (masterfully played by Anson Mount), is an action-packed fresh look at some of the universe's most beloved characters. We've met Spock, Uhura, and now James Kirk, who ends up taking the reins of USS Enterprise after Pike. It may not be the best television show of all time, but a…

Today, Mindy Kahlig gave an interview that claimed that a show like The Office couldn't be made today because it's “so inappropriate” and people would be so offended. Essentially, she's claiming The Office would be canceled in more ways than one. I say: yeah, right. There are a plethora of shows on the air today

The Succession series finale on Sunday rocked a whole lot of boats and inspired a whole lot of memes and tweets , but it may not the only show that came to an end this week. It's being reported that the season finale of Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso may actually be a series finale. A lot of yuppies are gonna be upset about this, but if the rumors are true, it shouldn't really be a surprise. Jason Sudeikis previously said that season 3 would be "the end of this story we wanted to tell, while hinting at…

I AM A SURGEON

Historical Fiction is a wildly popular genre. Some movies and television series that fall under the umbrella strive for complete historical accuracy, others, like Bridgerton and D ownton Abbey occupy a historical alternative universe, which allows them to take some liberties where casting and even plotlines are concerned. The increasing popularity of these alternative timelines begs the question: Exactly how faithful do these programs really need to be when it comes to history? A recent Twitter…

Listen. I'm not proud of it, but I've watched every season of Bridgerton. I actually watched the first season twice. And while the series may seem better suited to repressed moms, my friends and I relished every single moment of sexual tension and every inch of Regé-Jean Page's glorious body. The second season of the sultry Shondaland period piece was released over a year ago, and fans have been buzzing with excitement over the prequel Shonda Rhimes developed about the prominently featured Quee…

If you’re a Batman fan, you’ve had no shortage of content to sink your nerdy little teeth into. Comics, television shows, innumerable movie reboots, video games, pretty much any other form of media you could imagine. An inescapable media franchise? Sure, that sounds like a nightmare for most people, but I have no qualms. We live in a society, after all. Yeah, the DC Universe isn’t top dog compared to the Marvel Cinematic Univers e, but it’s impossible to name a single MCU superhero with as much…

Anyone else here ever get into the show Killing Eve? It's got everything: assassins, murder, hot people, comedy, and lots of steamy sexual tension. The story is centered around Eve Polastri ( Sandra Oh ), an MI5 desk jockey who is very, very bored with her job, and thus, her life. Some missteps lead to Poastri joining MI6 as an undercover agent tasked with tracking an extremely hot female assassin by the name of Villanelle ( Jodie Comer) . Despite Eve's history of boredom, it's Villanelle that…

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,…
