[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21906″ img_size=”700×467″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]We have reached the semi-final of Game of Thrones. It was filled with just about everything that many have been expecting and somethings that were not. With only one episode left, it’s time to explore what was learned in this week’s episode: The Bells. 1) This season’s story arc for Denaerys has been inevitably leading to a singular choice. Will she go down the path of her predecessors and chose fire over mercy? As Lord Varys himself said, “They say that every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin and the world holds its…

At the end of the film, Cap had the task of returning the Infinity Stones to their rightful places in time. This includes the stone that people were dying to retrieve, the Soul Stone. It has been many fan’s contention that to return the Soul Stone, he would have had to face the Red Skull, or whatever that is guarding it. How that transaction would have taken place is anyone’s guess, including the directors of End Game, the Russos. They did however confirm that Steve would have…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21873″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For anyone who have read my “Traditionalists” articles in the past, you would know that I am a stickler for comic book accuracy. At least as much as they can provide. With the upcoming Spider-Man: Far from Home, they have included Mysterio as the main Villain or Hero?? Most fans know him as being one of Spider-Man’s top enemies. Considering that, his apparent “nice-guy” routine they have seen from the trailer doesn’t jive to what they expect from the character. This has not gone un-noticed by Director Jon Watts, so he has went out of his way…

In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Avengers: Endgame writer Stephen McFeely dropped a cryptic comment about the possibility of a Moon Knight film. Somewhere there’s a great Moon Knight movie. But it’s complicated. So what are the complications? Kevin Feige had previously talked about that possibility in advance of the release of Infinity War. He was asked whether he had future plans for the Marc Spectre character. Yes. Does that mean five years from now, 10 years from now, 15 years from now? There are stacks of character cards that we have in our development offices, which we…

They were born in 1925, 1937, and 1963 respectively. I am not breaking any company secrets by saying that, it’s in the public domain. They lived the kind of lives that most young ladies did in their time. They went to school, played sports, made lasting friendships and married relatively early. As unremarkable as that may seem, it was just the tip of the iceberg for what was coming. They took on and accepted the most thankless job at times they could possibly do, they became Mothers. As most Mothers know, this is not an undertaking that is taken lightly.…

When the chance to write the scripts for what would become two of the highest grossing films of all times comes about, you better have a large reservoir of ideas at the ready. That was the task for Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley when they were pegged to write the stories for Infinity War and End Game. Having written Captain America Civil War, they were somewhat familiar with having to deal with a large cast of characters. But this project was of another magnitude. In preparation, the writers came up with a 60 page document that included about every story…

After a lengthy hiatus that felt like it rivaled the forever that Game of Thrones was gone, Marvel’s Agents of Shield returned Friday Night for its Season 6 Premier. In Missing Pieces, Directed by Sarge himself, Clark Gregg, the Shield team is trying rebuild after the events of Season 5 and the losses of Coulson and Fitz. So now that we’re back in the Shield saddle, what did we learn from Missing Pieces. 1) One year has passed and Mack is still adjusting to his role as Director by watching holographic crash courses left for him by Coulson. Mack has…

When the funeral scene for Tony Stark was shown, many people, including myself, didn’t initially recognize the young man standing toward the back of those gathered. As it turned out, it was Ty Simpkins who played the role of Harley Keener, Tony’s young friend who helped him out in Iron Man 3. With the end of the Infinity Saga and the Tony Stark story reaching its tragic but heroic conclusion, the MCU is moving on to their next stage in their plan to rule the cinematic world. Ty Simpkins would love to play a part. Apparently so do the fans.…

She has lost two of her three Dragons. Her trusted advisor and protector Ser Jorah Mormont has died while defending her. Long time friend and support system Missandei was beheaded in front of her at the order of Cersei. An army that was once a strength has been depleted and weakened by the battle against the dead. If that wasn’t enough, her lover/nephew and former King…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21673″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]By now if you have seen Avengers: Endgame, you know that the Russo’s gave fans a chance to see past characters, during their efforts to retrieve the Infinity Stones. These included Renee Russo as Thor’s Mom, Natalie Portman as Jane, John Slattery as Howard Stark, and Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One among others. Swinton’s case was an unusual one as she got to film her scenes not once but twice, and a year apart. She explained her surprise at being called back recently in an interview with IndieWire. It was a surprise to me, too! And…
