I recently wrote a review of the Tupac biopic All Eyez on Me.

Before Joss Whedon made 2012’s The Avengers and changed the caped crossover game forever, he created an arguably even more influential T.V. show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Despite its gothic overtones, Buffy had the rhythms of a superhero story, with special powers, recurring villains, and big deaths and resurrections..

CATEGORY : Movie
Thanos is the only person in Infinity War who faces that choice — sacrifice who you love or else see your grand plans fall to ruin — and finds the will to make the sacrifice. That horrible strength is the one thing he has over our heroes — more than his powers or his weapons or his guile — and it’s what lets him win this war. He is ..

CATEGORY : Movie
Unfortunately, Infinity War has trouble keeping up with the scads of characters who have accumulated on the MCU’s rolls in the course of that decade. While the Russo Bros. managed to strike a delicate balance in Captain America: Civil War, servicing a broad set of characters in a single story, they can’t quite manage the same ..

Still, despite the movie’s ungainliness, the unifying force of Infinity War is how so many of its far-flung characters face the same type of choice throughout the film. Time and again, the movie focuses on moments where one person could have stopped the threat of Thanos (or at least severely hindered him) but cannot bear what it ..

Predictions are a fool’s game, but there are a few things to remember in the shadow of that devastating finale. First and foremost, the heroes lost in Thanos’s final blight were, by and large, the new blood of the MCU. The likes of Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Dr. Strange are far more likely to anchor the next decade of Marvel ..

With all that moral weight and storytelling girth, Infinity War is not merely half a movie. It is, standing alone, a complete and harrowing story of single-minded devotion and loss, of good-hearted, courageous individuals unable to cross the line that could allow them to save everything while suffering unimaginable losses in the process..

Black Panther doesn’t have the aura of a Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Yes, it features allies and enemies we’ve met in prior outings like Age of Ultron and Civil War. Yes, it has a jovial vibe throughout its cast that buoys heavier moments. And yes, it has the mandatory, climactic third act battle, draped in CGI and stuffed with the ..

Some of the best aspects of the original Star Wars movie were its characters, its humor, and its surfeit of enjoyable, individual moments. The film’s special effects were innovative, and its famed myth arc was substantial, but the hero’s journey and all that technical splendor might have fallen apart if we hadn’t felt the warm, jostling ..

It’s hard not to feel the same bafflement about Inhumans showrunner Scott Buck. The biggest mystery left in the wake of “Behold…The Inhumans!”, the show’s first episode, is not how the titular heroes will cope with a budding coup, or what a seer’s prophecies mean, or even the vaguely-defined superpowers of the protagonists..

The great promise of Agents of Shield and Netflix’s Defenders series was the idea that these shows would examine what happened when The Avengers weren’t around to save the day, in the spaces below their notice. The pitch went that these shows would dig into the meat and potatoes work of facing down threats in a world where ..

One of the best things about storytelling is that it offers a chance to walk in another person’s shoes, to step outside of oneself and have experiences that are not possible in most people’s day-to-day lives. But films, television shows, and novels also offer fantasy; they offer escapism and the chance to live out an existence, in two..

So much of Guardians of the Galaxy’s story is achingly standard issue. This isn’t the first film to feature a collection of rogues and nobodies reluctantly coming together to save the world, and it won’t be the last. The tale of the dissolute young man who eventually learns to fight for something greater than himself is a well-worn one..

Not every main character has to be likable, or stay likable for that matter. Plenty of great works in all genres and mediums feature less-than-admirable individuals at their center. But even if the audience doesn’t like the protagonist, he or she still needs to be someone the viewer wants to spend time with. Especially in the early ..

There’s a recurring set of complaints about the “samey-ness” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The argument comes in several forms.

What is it, to be a cheesy voiceover montage in the last moments of a season finale? Do you have to try to sum up an entire season’s worth of themes using vague doublespeak and an army of cliches?

A battle between good and evil is a fundamentally satisfying thing, and over the decades, Marvel’s doled out more than its fair share.
