Majestic Mjolnir. The mystic hammer of the Mighty Thor. As the legend goes, only someone who was worthy could yield the mighty hammer and thus, the power of Thor. This was true in the Marvel Comics Universe as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the MCU, only two beings have proved capable of lifting Thor’s hammer: Thor himself and the Vision. One of my favorite scenes in Avengers: Age of Ultron was the look on Thor’s face when he though for a moment that Steve Rogers might be able to lift it. But that was Mjolnir. After the events…

Senior Writer at GeekVibesNation - I am a 60 something child of the 70’s who admits to being a Star Trek/Star Wars/Comic Book junkie who once dove headfirst over a cliff (Ok, it was a small hill) to try to rescue his Fantastic Four comic from a watery grave. I am married to a lovely woman who is as crazy as I am and the proud parent of a 21-year-old young man with autism. My wife and son are my real heroes.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe will soon be facing the prospect of replacing some of its heroes in the future. This is inevitable as many of their actor’s contracts come to an end. Chris Evans has stated that he is pretty much ready to move on from the “Star-Spangled Avenger” after his contract is fulfilled, which is after next year’s Avengers 4. The same can be said for Robert Downey Jr. who has been the centerpiece of the MCU. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige doesn’t seem concerned since he knew this was coming and has a plan in place to proceed into the future. Kevin Feige…
As the longest running scripted television show of all time, The Simpson’s has been one of the most iconic franchises ever created. It has known only one home: Fox, who has aired every episode on their network after spinning off from The Tracy Ullman Show. With the impending purchase by Disney, it is clear that Fox will fight to keep the long running animated series. CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman revealed their plans to keep The Simpsons on the network after the Disney purchase of Fox is completed. “Simpsons is so much a part of the brand,” Walden…
Those who might have hoped Warner Bros.’ adaptation of the hit videogame “Minecraft” would be ready for its proposed May 2019 release, will have to wait a bit longer. The project is undergoing a major rebuild as director and co-writer Rob McElhenney has dropped out of the project — as reported by the TheWrap. “No, that is not happening,” the star of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” told TheWrap. To replace McElhenney, Warner Bros. has tapped the writer/director duo of Aaron and Adam Nee to write a new script based on the popular game. The Nee’s are also tabbed…
Recently, I posted an article on possible ways the MCU can resolve the issues caused by Infinity War. As we contemplate those possible scenarios, there is a television show that is nearing the end and requires some intervention. Marvel’s Agents of Shield. First off, I thought that ABC did the show a disservice last season by waiting so late to confirm their renewal. It had to put the writers in a box by not knowing whether to set up for next season or to wrap everything up. As it was, I thought they did an excellent job of balancing the…
With the city on the brink of destruction, Oswald Cobblepot is planning to give the city one last push to expedite the carnage. With that as a premise, the Penguin is looking for “big things” this season, according to Robin Lord Taylor, who plays the familiar character. Since filming began on Gotham Season 5, social media has been a buzz with cast and crew sharing plenty of cryptic photos. EP Danny Cannon, has been leading the charge including a shot of Penguin’s bust, painted on the side of a building. What he didn’t include was any caption or explanation to…
If you were a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining, then the news of a movie adaptation to King’s follow up, Dr. Sleep should make you smile, cringe, or scream depending on how you view King’s work. The Shining has long been considered as one of the more horrifying haunted house tales. King himself however, had expressed the opinion that Kubrick’s version, while popular, did not actually reflect his story as he imagined it. With that in mind, Ewan McGregor claims that the upcoming adaptation of Doctor Sleep will be very faithful to the source…
Have you ever watched your child play a video or iPad game. I find it fascinating how easy it seems to come to them. I used to watch my then 4 year old grandson play “Real Steel” based on the movie of the same name. It was a fighting game and he was obsessed with it. He fought as one of the movie’s robot fighters and took on other ones and he did pretty well at it. Of course the funny thing is he would claim to be the winner whether he actually won or not. His robot could be…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] So with the release of the digital version of Avengers Infinity War, and the DVD/Blu-ray edition approaching, perhaps the time has come for a bit of speculation on our part. How does Kevin Feige and the rest of the Marvel creative team, who got us all into this mess, propose to resolve it? Well?? We’re waiting. While he ponders the question we have imposed upon him, let’s discuss things amongst ourselves, shall we? What do we know? At this time we know that Cap, Thor, Bruce, Natasha, Rhodey, and Rocket have survived the snap! on earth, while Iron Man…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] As news about the latest Terminator movie has leaked, it has been speculated by fans that one of the main characters is actually a cyborg. With that in mind, the recently released image of the Terminator 6 cast and new set images may have confirmed that as fact. The first official photo of the lead heroines in the Terminator reboot introduced Mackenzie Davis as Grace. She is a character described as soldier-assassin from the future. When viewing these photos, a number of fans looked at Grace’s symmetrically patterned scars and concluded this as possible evidence of the character’s true…
