Review: AVENGERS: ENDGAME (2019)
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame. It’s no stretch to say that Avengers: Endgame is one of the most anticipated movies in history. Marvel Studios has been building up to this moment for 11 years, from the first Iron Man movie.

The Legacy of THE AVENGERS
Superheroes have been around for almost 100 years. They are the American gods, mythology created to inspire and to entertain with their legend. Superman taking to the skies, showing us how to be our best self. Batman clinging to the darkness, showing that our imperfections are what make us who we are. These new gods have shaped fiction in the 20th century, so it’s only fitting that they also change the world of film. Superman made us believe that a man could fly. Batman showed us how to dance with the devil. Still, even with Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and 20th Century Fox’s X-Men, we never really saw the comics reach…

OPINION: The Return of Palpatine and the Issue With The Star Wars Sequels
Star Wars is one of the biggest franchises in history. The original trilogy changed the way we view cinema; the prequel trilogy laid the groundwork for modern CGI and the sequel trilogy? Well, we’ll have to wait and see what their legacy will be. One thing for sure, they need to let the past die. Under Disney, the franchise seems to cling onto the past in hopes of keeping older fans on board, and it’s killing the franchise. It all starts with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the first film in the new franchise. Now, the film is a solid introduction to the world post Return of the Jedi. Still,…

DC Films‘ The Flash has taken an infamously long path in development hell. After multiple director changes, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley signed on to direct last year.
