Heroes and Villains: Perspective
I have been a fan of comic books, Disney movies, and horror movies for as long as I can remember. One thing I have always enjoyed about these forms of entertainment is normal people rising to the occasion to defeat "evil." The ancient old telling of good vs. evil. However, even from a young age I have always had a deep respect for the protagonists. Many Halloweens I would dress up as Darth Vader or Two Face. I always wish cinematic entertainment would go deeper into the story of how "villains" became villains, rather than how our "heroes" came to conquer the evil that threatens them. I mean, when you discuss this topic of heroes, and villains and what the difference between them is. The answer to me seems simple, perspective. How you view the conflict and what side you relate more to. Honestly, I don't like to pick sides, I am not that kind of guy.

'Captain Marvel' in Under 600 Words
Captain Marvel had plenty of hype to match. As the first female solo superhero film in the MCU, the follow up to Avengers: Infinity War's end credits scene, and a potential future cinematic universe plot to seed. How did it manage to achieve this and where were the flaws, if any?

She-Ra: The Best Female Action Hero Ever?
Forget the recent redone series, the original animated series of She-Ra was the best, and hugely popular. As a child, in the 1980s, I remember how much I enjoyed the fun-packed adventure series, seeing a strong, tough lady fighting her battles was incredible and exciting to see. She-Ra fought for what she believed in, and her attitude was a great role model for girls. She-Ra just absolutely wowed us! With her mighty strength and healing powers, she was acrobatic, fast, gentle, beautiful, kind. Above all she was an action hero who was female.

11 Reasons Why People Love Captain America
While Captain America, also known as Steve Rogers, was introduced in comic book form decades before some of Marvel's more well-known characters (like Spider-Man and the Hulk), Captain America is still a vital superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

'Captain Marvel'—A Movie That Broke the MCU Rules and Introduced True Diversity to the MCU which Builds the Foundations of Phase Four
While the majority of the MCU films have been met with masses of excitement and anticipation by the fans, Captain Marvel has caused a stir on the internet that is pretty hard to avoid. Many have claimed the film is a "feminist" flick and that the main character hates white men. However, now the film has been released, those who have viewed the film are questioning where these statements have come from. It does also highlight how many clearly do not know this character from the comics, as she is no damsel in destress and is a powerful career driven woman.

'Captain Marvel' Review
I will start by saying that I did like the movie overall, all of its elements worked well together, and it was a technically cohesive movie that had a great rhythm and flow. Any problems I had with it were from a nerd perspective, not a professional one. The updated Marvel title sequence was a beautiful tribute to Stan Lee and caused me to start this movie through tears.

Scarlet Witch
Although we have an idea of what the next phase of the Marvel Universe will entail, the details are a bit murky, especially when it comes to the new mini-series events coming to Disney’s streaming service. The only one I am concerned about, however, is the future of Scarlet Witch. My favorite character, one of the most powerful comic book characters ever, and a very easy character to screw up if they don’t handle it properly.

Why Marvel Movies Beat DC Comics Movies
The Marvel movies beat DC comics movies for a variety of reasons. Marvel studios has worked consistently over the years to create superhero movies that fans love, and their dedication to their craft shows. While the DC universe has come out with various movies that have soared to the top of the box office, the majority of audiences agree that franchises like The Avengers are ultimately the movies that are more well-received by fans of the comics and the genre alike. Comic book movies will forever be in competition with one another, and there are some key factors that contribute to capturing an audience; but if you're like the rest of us, you probably agree that Marvel's movie-making ability goes unmatched.

Character Spotlight: The Flash
Okay, the Flash isn't the only one that makes me want to run. Seeing Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible: Fallout, Tropic Thunder) run makes me want to run but I don't think he's even human. I mean, come on, you shatter your ankle doing a crazy jump and the doctors tell you that you gotta stay off of it for six months or you won't walk again and six weeks later, you're running all over the place and doing crazy stunts again like it's nothing. Not only is that dedication, but that's also gotta be some type of stuff that makes you wonder if you're human or not. Shit, I'm getting sidetracked.

Tom Holland Is the Best Spider-Man
The best way I used to put this was; Toby Maguire was a good Peter Parker, but not a good Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield was a decent Spider-Man but an awful Peter Parker. Of course, Tom Holland is an incredible Spider-Man and adorable Peter Parker. Upon further analysis, Toby McGuire is barely passable as Peter Parker and a just awful Spider-Man.

'Civil War'
The MCU has, of course, made many changes to the storylines adapted for the screen. The act of changing a story from one format to another can not be without challenges and of course changes, especially when condensing a Universe-wide series to a single movie.
