Since I talked a little about the Fantastic Four Trailer and the Daredevil trailer, I thought I might as well drop a few words about Alias. I mean AKA Jessica Jones. Which is a much longer type, but will make it easier to differentiate the comic (Alias) and the show (AKAJJ). First off, let me … More Thoughts on AKA Jessica Jones (aka Alias)
I had a bit of fun writing about the recent Fantastic Four Trailer, so I thought I would drop a few thoughts about the recently released Daredevil trailer. Again, I do try to limit how much I know about a show/movie before it comes out (most of the time) so that I can just enjoy … More Daredevil 2015 Trailer
There is a new Fantastic Four trailer. And lots of reviews. Lots. So many I almost don’t know why I am adding to the noise. But i guess if I took that into mind I wouldn’t write anything ever. So, onto the trailer! Over all feeling was that this was better than I had expected. … More Fantastic Four 2015 Trailer
As anyone likely to read an article about comic books and films has noticed, there are a lot of Comic Book movies being made. This is nothing new. I remember being surprised when I found out that Road to Perdition is also based on a comic book. Comics have long been mined for stories. But … More Comics, Films and Comics Again
This is me asking a question. It is a question that I don’t have an answer to. I know which way I lean, but I’m not sure that is the right way. Is there even a correct way to lean on this issue? Maybe, but I suppose I should actually explain what I am wondering … More Does the Gender of a Creator matter?
Apparently movies are coming out many years from now and in preparation certain areas of the internet are getting ready for a fight. A big fight. Do you support Marvel’s Captain Marvel or DC’s Wonder Woman? It seems there can be only one and to support the other means you probably secretly hate women. At … More Captain Marvel vs Wonder Woman! But not really…
There has been some buzz about the upcoming changes to the status quo of Marvel’s Thor comics. Namely the current Thor, Thor Odinson, will become unworthy to wield Mjolnir. An unrevealed female character will pick up the hammer and thus become Thor. This identity of this character will be a secret even to Odin, or … More Thoughts on (Lady) Thor
In my review of Ms. Marvel #1 my overall opinion was that the book, while well written, relied heavily on cliches and an up-to-date knowledge of the Marvel Universe, and didn’t really provide a compelling glimpse of where the series was going due to being written for the trade. I also said that She-Hulk #1 … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: She Hulk #1
I love comic books. There, I said it. I am a staunch defender of the inherent worth of comics. All that said, comic books don’t have the best track record when it comes to depictions of women. Marvel Comics, while being just as guilty of emphasizing T&A aspects of super heroines in the past, is … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #1
There is an Ant Man movie being made. I have to say that I’m exited. Because of the many roles Ant Man has played in Marvel comics there are so many different angles they can take with this. This is almost a problem. No matter which direction they take they might be leaving out someone’s … More My Ideal Ant Man Movie (aka why they should make The Wasp)
