Geeks, Nerds, Uber-fan’s, Techies, Book-Worms, but whatever the term, the last few months have been like Christmas in April and May. We have witnessed the now historical release of Avengers: End Game, the final season of Game of Thrones is at the half-way mark with the last episode breaking viewing records and fan’s hearts at the same time. And now we approach what is a red-letter day in THIS Geek’s agenda, the Season 6 Premier of Marvel’s Agents of Shield. May 10th is when it once again consumes my Friday night schedule…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21236″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Since April 26th, Avengers End Game has been a lot of people’s minds. Those who have seen it want to discuss what they saw so badly, but they are trying to restrain themselves so as not to ruin it for the people who haven’t seen it. It has not been easy. Fights have been reported to have broken out about Spoilers. For full disclosure, I myself have put out an article about the “Time” involved in the story and although warnings are clearly given, it is something we think about for each article. How soon is too…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21149″ img_size=”798×420″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]As I have stated in the past, among my many passions is Marvel’s Agents of Shield. Last season, the crew did a bit of time jumping during their trip to space and their conflict with the Kree. So much so that the present Leopold Fitz who was left behind, had put himself in a cryogenic chamber to wait and catch up to his team that had been sent to the future. Got it? Then to complicate things, the former past Fitz who is now the future version returns to the past with the rest of the team. That…

After two episodes of story based character reflection, the moment Game of Thrones have been waiting for arrived on Sunday with the Battle for Winterfell between the Living and the Dead. The Long Night was one hour and 28 minutes of tension, conflict, death, and a desperate fight for life. But if you ask some, it was also an extremely dark story. Literally dark as in difficult to see what was going on. However, if you ask Game of Thrones Cinematographer Fabien Wagner, he would tell you that the lighting was done in the manner the show’s creators wanted and…

Why ‘X-Men’ or ‘Fantastic Four’ Character Cameos Were Not Allowed in ‘Endgame’

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20799″ img_size=”960×494″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Fans have been waiting for this kind of excitement for the past two episodes but have been stymied by the Game of Thrones creators plan to tell their story at their own pace and when it was right to do so. Episode 3 was that time and the tension was so thick it was almost touchable as the battle for life against death began. Here are some of the things we learned: 1) Fighting the Dead is not freaking fair. Just by numbers alone you are outmatched. The sheer volume makes it difficult to stand your ground because…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20870″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With so many productions going on in both the MCU and The DCEU, it has become rather commonplace for actors to have an opportunity to try both flavors of the Cinematic Universes. In this case Ant Man’s David Dastmalchian, who played Kurt, one of Scott Lang’s business partners who hung in the van, will now tackle a villains role as The Polka Dot Man in James Gunn’s Suicide Squad. If you are scratching your head and wondering who? You’re not alone. I had to look the character up. The Polka-Dot Man debuted in 1962’s Detective Comics No. 300. Abner…

The theories about what kind of business Avengers:End Game would produce have long been discussed before the film began. Now that the world has seen what Marvel Studios has produced, the Box Office numbers it has put together have been record breaking and staggering. To recognize that accomplishment, Marvel and Disney have sent out a press release honoring both the work and the fans who have supported it. Here is the beginning of that release: BURBANK, Calif. – April 28, 2019 – Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Endgame” made history this weekend with a record-shattering estimated global debut of $1,209.0 million, becoming the first film…

Now that Avengers End Game is running rough shod over the Box Office and records are falling like dust in the wind, Marvel’s attention will turn to its Phase Four films. One of them will be the Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow solo film. Details have remained sketchy but perhaps a minor detail from End Game might expose a clue to her background. When Hawkeye/Ronin and Natasha have to make a trip to Vomir to retrieve the Soul Stone, they run into the keeper of the stone, The Red Skull. The Skull once again goes through his spiel about what is required to…
