For years, on both Game Rant and Screen Rant, we've suffered through the awkward video game-film relationship. The sad reality, as we so often repeat, is that movies based on video games and video game movie tie-ins all suck, with the rare exception here and th

Alfred Molina’s portrayal in Spider-Man 2 immortalized the villain's tragedy on the big screen. Molina's Doctor Octopus starts out as a hero and a mentor to Peter Parker, loses control and becomes a full-fledged villain, and ultimately achieves a final act of redemption by sacrificing himself to undo his own catastrophic experiment. Marvel Zombies: Red Band 's Doc Ock might need to do something similar to save the Avengers from Zombie Phoe

When Marvel over-excitedly put out the original release schedule last May on the heels of Iron Man’s box office success, they were clearly trying to rush these movies into production. And we all know that rush =

We can thank Sega for the awful, poorly made, over-priced, unfair-to-fans-and-the-industry games including The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America: Super Soldier and Thor: God of Thunder . The Thor game was so bad it made us angry that it was even m

"In my opinion, the biggest afflictions affecting movie-licensed games is the amount of development time and a strict adherence to retelling the story of the film in the form of a game. The former is easy to understand -- less development time means less time to design, produce and polish the game, resulting in a poor or lesser-quality experien

Frankly, of what little we saw, the show looks pretty excellent. The sense of humor and writing are top-notch, the cast and the acting are excellent, the characters and stories utilized looked good enough, and the visual quality of the show was a least two or three steps above Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Strategy|https://spiderman2mix.com/ Earth’s Mightiest Hero

"We just launched Marvel: Avengers Alliance on Facebook; which is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the first in a much larger effort to support the Avengers franchise across not just one but multiple video game touch points. The Avengers are bigger than just one game, and we’re planning to allow consumers to enjoy The Avengers regardless of their preference in gameplay style or platform. Look for more announcements in the weeks to co

X-Men, released in 2000, introduces Wolverine and Rogue as they join Professor Xavier's private academy for mutants. The resident superhero team, the X-Men, led by Xavier, confronts a terrorist organization of mutants with similar abilities, highlighting the ongoing conflict between humans and muta

Spider-Girl is Spider-Man's daughter May, all grown up! She originated in a "What If" comic, and then went on to receive her own book which became the longest running female-superhero book ever published by Marvel. This all takes place in an alternate look at the future where Peter has retired and May has taken up his mantle.

We previously reported in September 2011 that the license for the characters had reverted back to Marvel - hence, no more Sega - and that they were looking for publishing opportunities from other potential partners. With Jefferson hinting at incoming announcements, perhaps they found some

Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) delivers this line in X-Men when explaining to Wolverine why he still believes in humanity in the Xavier mansion. It’s a moment that defines Xavier’s entire philosophy: compassion over condemnation. "Mankind is not evil, just uninformed," reframes __ the mutant struggle not as a war, but as a misunderstanding born of fear and ignoran

While Iron Man is locking down its character actors, they still haven't got a cast lined up for **Thor ** . The best we have so far are the rumors of Alexander Skarsgård possibly playing Thor , and Josh Harnett playing his mischievous brother Lo

Next was the animation portion of the panel, where Loeb debuted some of the very first footage of **Ultimate Spider-Man ** (written by Paul Dini and the Man of Action team – Joe Casey, Joe Kelly – with additional help from Brian Michael Bendis, Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley, and more). Some things of note about the foot

There's a series called The Exiles which involves inter-dimensional travel, which would make it perfect for a game about..well..inter-dimensional travel. This version is called The Spider, and has Peter Parker bonded with Carnage and is a member of Weapon X.

Batman continues, "I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me." It’s dark, dramatic, and instantly iconic. The line sets up Batman not as a killer, but as a legend – a figure meant to inspire fear and

The topics and television properties showcased in the panel were wide-ranging - from live-action ( A.K.A. Jessica Jones , The Hulk ** , __ Cloak and Dagger ** , and __ Mockingbird ** ) to animated ( Ultimate Spider-Man ** , Hulk: Agents of S.M.A.S.H. ** and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes ** season
