Long-form Writing Covering Film, TV, Theme Parks, and Happy Meals
After watching BLACK PANTHER WAKANDA FOREVER for a third time (yeah I love the film, long blog forthcoming next weekend), I realized that one of the things I enjoyed most about the film, but which also really caught me off-guard, was Griot - the Wakandan AI or as some people call it, “Wakandan Jarvis”. Now … Continue reading Ranking the MCU’s AI – Who is your favorite? | RANK THIS!
Finally went to go see SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME - THE MORE FUN STUFF VERSION this afternoon and you know what, I really REALLY loved it - even more than the original edit I watched back in December. I liked NO WAY HOME but the further away I got from it, the more issues I … Continue reading The Best Things In The “More Fun Stuff Version” of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME
Well the most exciting announcement for me at the D23 Expo today was the Multiverse Saga’s King Thanos Ride coming to Disneyland’s Avengers Campus (likely in 2025-26). Considering WDI removed the concept art for the old Quinjet ride from the Marvel Hotel in Paris last month and considering WDI passed out this concept art to … Continue reading Overanalyzing the D23 Concept Art for Disneyland’s NEW Re-worked Avengers Ride – featuring King Thanos in the Multiverse
A brief history of Beta Ray Bill, his current lack of presence in the MCU, his potential in LOKI Season 2, and why Rafael Casal should play a version of the cybernetic Korbinite embewed with the power of Thor. “Just A Theory” is a recurring bait and switch series about what should theoretically happen in … Continue reading BETA RAY LOKI – Who is Rafael Casal playing in LOKI Season 2 – and why it should be Beta Ray Bill | JUST A THEORY
So today Disney Plus released an updated version of the MCU timeline that showed just where DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS fits in. And it surprised some people. Let’s take a look: They placed MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS before HAWKEYE. And people had an issue with this. And that's upsetting. Because I totally got … Continue reading How MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS takes place after NO WAY HOME but before HAWKEYE
I did not hate MORBIUS. And as such, I was prepared to write a blog that defended the MORBIUS post-credit scenes. I was prepared to do an entry of my ongoing series "HEAR ME OUT" series after listening to all the online negativity surrounding BOTH MORBIUS AND its post-credit scenes. But that was before I … Continue reading Are the MORBIUS Post-Credit Scenes Really That Bad? YES – But in the Sony-verse maybe it does not matter | JUST STATING FACTS
Moon Knight. None of this has any grounding in reality and even less so after some reports dropping today. And yes, I don’t know much about this character... but I DO KNOW a grill on a truck when I see one. And I do know the release date for MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS and how close … Continue reading Does MOON KNIGHT take place in the Fox X-Verse??? | JUST A THEORY
Marvel's ETERNALS are the first MCU characters to really experience existential dread. And I love them for it. Imagine a story about an ancient family that has been living and fighting together (sometimes each other) for over 7000 years, but suddenly finds itself on the brink of revelation that redirects their purpose and makes them … Continue reading ETERNALS THEORY DISCUSSION – Millenia of Memories, Now Running Out of Time
While in LA this week for job meetings, I made it a point to find time to visit one of my favorite places on the planet to watch a movie: The El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. I couldn’t resist watching ETERNALS for a second time. The entire block high above Hollywood Blvd. was decked out … Continue reading Watching ETERNALS at The El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood – Costumes, Food and Merch!
Has the first official sequel to ETERNALS already arrived in the form of a McDonalds Happy Meal commercial? Possibly. But it's probably more just a wink and a nod to the evolving fate of one of my favorite ETERNALS characters, Sprite. This month the Happy Meal theme is MCU’s ETERNALS. I loved ETERNALS. But I … Continue reading The Eternals’ Sprite is Now Human and Growing Up in A New McDonalds Happy Meal Commercial
