As you get older, acceptance becomes easier. So, after accepting the tragedy of “Fantastic Four,” this No. 1 FF fan (owned hundreds of comics, cartoons, toys, etc.) has accepted that there will never be a good Fantastic Four movie in his lifetime.
The above is the never-released 1994 first FF film. (Of course, I owned a copy in the VHS days.) The theme music is good, at least!
A ghetto “Oceans 11” meets superhero movie! The stars may be white, but the funny supporting cast is Black and Latino.
The “urban audience” word-of-mouth will make this a strong hit for Marvel! This ALMOST makes up for Marvel giving Ava DuVernay the boot!
P.S. So onward to “Captain America: Civil War!”
………was quite extraordinary. And shocking and sad!
Sorry for the new cliche, but: this show is everything a superhero TV show should be. Twenty-three episodes and its potential is fulfilled. Now it has to stay there for nine more seasons.
The above is more evidence that geeks have won!
(Now onto Season 3 of “Beauty and the Beast.”)
Ava + Marvel? Okay, I can see this!
LOL! Lookit Arthur Darvill (“Rory”) doing HIS Doctor, with long David Tennant-like coat and stuff! LOL! 🙂 Long time to January!
Hmm…..a Black Jimmy Olsen and the return of Calista Flockhart to network television? Not too bad. It’ll move to the CW when CBS screws with it. 🙂
(Everything I liked got renewed: “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD,” “Agent Carter,” “Arrow,” “Flash,” “Gotham,” and now the above stuff added! That’s a LOT of comicbook network TV!)
Enjoyed this!
“Flash” is now my new favorite show, but I still want to see this “Arrow” season finale on Wednesday!
And I think Oliver is returning the favor next week! Look below:
And look some more–with some soon-to-be-starring-in-the-spinoff-stars–during the “Flash” season finale the following Tuesday!
….”Captain America: Civil War,” which began filming earlier today!
Starring…well, almost everybody from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron!” LOL! 🙂
And Watson from BBC/PBS “Sherlock?!?” WOW AND WTF?!?
And (SHUDDERS) Spider-Man?!? I repeat…..
Here’s the synopsis:
Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
WOW!!!! MAY 6th!!!!!!! Just 364 days left!!!!!!! 😉
Take that, “Dawn of Justice!” LOL! As they used to say in the comics, “Make Mine Marvel!” (Although, make no mistake: I will be there for the “Man of Steel” sequel as well 🙂 )
ADDENDUM: And then there’s THIS in 2018 and 2019! AAUUGGHHH!!!!!!!! 🙂
JUNE 3rd UPDATE: Enjoyed reading this, since it crossed over between Marvel and “Doctor Who.”
