After the Endgame: Where does the MCU go from here?

Well, as Marvel fans we have now experienced and (mostly) survived the “Endgame.” After 10+ years and 20+ movies, Marvel Studios has brought this stage of storytelling to a close with a finale that broke box office records and was generally well received by critics and fans. The question we

From Chicago to a galaxy far, far away: Star Wars Celebration 2019

Something that people may not know about me is that I like Star Wars just a little. I’m kidding, of course — anyone who talks to me for more than 5 minutes is probably going to hear about how much I love Star Wars, how it’s my favorite franchise, why I

Conquering the con: Top 5 geek convention survival tips

I went to my first geek convention of the year on Saturday, and going to a con always makes me feel hyped and ready to attend more cons! Going to a con can be a fun but also sometimes overwhelming experience, depending on the number of attendees, guests, vendors, etc.

Too much of a good thing? Disney company officially acquires Fox

By now you’ve probably seen the meme of Mickey Mouse wearing Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet from “Infinity War,” with the Infinity Stones symbolizing the different franchises/studios Disney has acquired thus far — Star Wars, Marvel, etc. Last week, the Walt Disney Company officially added another “Infinity Stone” to the gauntlet; the

Super-powered success: The future of the MCU and the DCEU

Anyone can be a hero: Why female superheroes matter

You’ve probably heard by now that Rotten Tomatoes recently made some changes to the layout of their website. This is because trolls decided to bombard the site with negative early ratings for “Captain Marvel,” even before they’d seen the film. It’s disheartening to see people trying to create negative buzz

I don’t always do a post-Oscar nomination rundown for my blog, but this year there were enough surprises that I couldn’t resist jotting down my thoughts! Of course, the biggest headline (at least in terms of geek news) is that “Black Panther” has made history as the first superhero film

Looking ahead: Most anticipated movies of 2019

Attempting to peer into the future and trying to pick the best movies of the coming year is always an interesting challenge. I know there’s always going to be a Star Wars and a Marvel movie on my most anticipated list (no surprise there, I’m sure!), and then I inevitably

Endgame: What’s ahead for the Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

A journey that started a decade ago will come to an end next April, with the follow-up to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Infinity War.” We now know the sequel will be titled “Endgame,” though what sort of ending the film will have is still anybody’s guess. How many of the

Avengers assemble: A tribute to Stan Lee

This week for my scheduled blog post, I was planning to post the final review in my Better Late than Never blog series. However, with the passing of comic book legend Stan Lee yesterday, at the age of 95, I felt it was more appropriate to spend some time reflecting

To boldly go: NASA engineer Kim Steadman helps humanity explore the stars

As a kid, Kim Steadman remembers watching reruns of Star Trek and being utterly fascinated by the vast universe beyond our own planet. What secrets were hidden in the stars beyond what she could see by looking up into the night sky? What “strange new worlds” were out there, waiting
