Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil on Netflix was one of the best things to come out of the MCU, though its questionable if its actually part of the MCU. Not to get into the weeds too much, but basically, there used to be "Marvel Movies" and "Marvel TV" as separate divisions. They had different heads, and there was dumb company politics and the claim that the movies didn't want people to feel obligated to watch a TV show to understand the films. Then they merged the divisions, and now every movie has a TV show attached and we get shows with questionable conclusions and…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Rock Python

So, this one will be pretty short and to the point for sure. Rock Python is definitely a beyond nobody level character in the grand scheme of things. Hell, I keep wanting to call him Rock Viper. There's not anything particularly new or special aside from his goofy snake helmet head. It's not even particularly snakey either, unlike say King Cobra or Cottonmouth. Aside from the Smart Hulk BAF piece, he is mostly notable for being part of the Serpent Society. I really think it's neat how they keep slipping these guys in, since they also are kind of a…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Loki (Comic)

I'm not super keen on Loki's comic book look. He's a little too, court jester in style for my liking. Still, he's kind of a big part of the whole Thor and Asgardian world, being Thor's brother and all, so not having a Loki to go with my other Asgardians was kind of a hole in need of filling. Plus, frankly, I kind of wanted everyone else in the wave. I'm sure someone who keeps better track than I do would know which "buck" this is, but it's pretty much just "Bulky dude in spandex". The figure is honestly pretty…

Review – MCU – Captain Marvel (2019)

Spoiler Free Thoughts and Review Infinity War and Endgame are, not surprisingly, coming out very close to each other.  At least when compared to the previous Avengers outings they are close to each other.   This is kind of understandable given how disruptive the end of Infinity War was.  Even Agents of SHIELD essentially took a prolonged break to wait for things to be fixed.  A couple of films have squeezed in between, both featuring things that will likely show up prominently in Avengers End Game.  The first was Ant-Man and the Wasp, which according to the post credits scene, effectively…

Review – Movie – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse

Sony is kind of in a weird place with it's Spider-Man license.  They are working on their third reboot of the series, which is not tied to the MCU which they don't really own any stake in.  So they have a pretty decent and successful Spider-Man series going now, but it's technically part of a universe they can't fully touch.  Take the recent Venom movie, for example.  Venom is pretty tied to Spider-Man, but this new movie itn't part of the MCU, so that gets a little tricky. Maybe they don't really care a lot about continuity. Maybe they also…
