Con - We could find ourselves over-saturated with watered down superheroes, quickly written scripts and under produced adaptation that are Disney is just looking to make a quick buck with. They are, after all, trying to re-coup $4 billion dollars of investment. It is distinctly possible that quality could suffer. Hopefully that won't be the case, because whether Disney knows it or not, they are now under intense scrutiny from one of these largest, if not the largest, fan base in the wo
It's a ton of fun getting to explore both Halloween and Christmas Town in Kingdom Hearts 2 as both areas are filled with Heartless based on both holidays, such as one based on a toy soldier and a jack-in-a-
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, released in 2014, continues Peter Parker's journey as he balances life as Spider-Man and his relationship with Gwen Stacy. Facing new challenges, Peter encounters the formidable Electro and is reunited with Harry Osborn, while uncovering significant revelations about his p
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.
It's especially eerie to explore a vacant NYC completely covered in Christmas decor and coated with snow when this time of year for the city is known for being exceptionally crowded with tourists and shoppers al
Whether it’s beloved characters being mishandled, rushed world-building, or clashing studio visions, these disappointments remind that a great trailer doesn’t guarantee a great movie. Each film on this list had massive expectations – fueled by stars, budgets, or legacy – only to leave audiences frustrated or confused. Sometimes, it’s not the villains who ruin a hero’s story, it’s the movie its
X-Men Origins: Wolverine explores the backstory of the iconic mutant Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman. Released in 2009, the film delves into Logan's journey through the Weapon X program as he seeks revenge for his girlfriend's death while uncovering complex relationships with other muta
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
Rumors have come in that Activision and Beenox are working on a new Spider-Man game , and it might be a sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 patch notes|https://Spiderman2mix.com/: Shattered Dimensions . That game saw players going through four different Spider-Man comics universes; "regular" Earth 616, Ultimate, Noir and 2099. The biggest question raised by these recent rumors is easily "what universes are left?"
OK, so just a few minutes ago Twitter literally exploded with news of a major financial announcement: according to The Associated Press, The Walt Disney Co. will acquire Marvel Entertainment Inc., for $4 billion in cash and st
At GDC this week, The Hollywood Reporter chatted with TQ Jefferson, VP Games Production for Marvel, briefly (and safely) touching on the topic of Sega published Marvel games as well as the problem of licensed movie ga
Under the deal Disney will now control and own 5,000 Marvel characters, including Iron Man and Spider-Man . If Marvel shareholders approve the deal, they will receive $30 per share and will also receive .745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. Both the Disney and Marvel board of directors have approved the deal, but it still has to go through an anti-trust review. I don't see there being any problem with the anti-trust review nor do I see the marvel shareholders turning up their noses to such a fantastic offer. Most likely, later this week, we should see final word on the resolution of this agreem
What do you think of this mega-acquisition of Marvel by Disney ? Does it make you as apprehensive as me for the future or elated that we may have an enormous opportunity to see more comic films in the fut
Catwoman wasn’t just disappointing, it became a cinematic punchline. Starring Halle Berry as Patience Phillips, the movie followed a completely new character unrelated to Batman Return’s Selina Kyle . As a result, the film ignored decades of comic lore in favor of a bizarre fashion-magazine aesthe
Pro - Disney is a universal name with pockets so deep that God's hand would have a hard time reaching the bottom. Marvel is no slouch either in the household name department - but let's face it, they are no Disney. All that extra money, means way more marketing and increased traffic within the theme parks (sorry Universal but looks like you might lose the X-Men characters in your parad
The early 2000s visual effects already looked dated at release, and the tone swung wildly between tragic and cartoonish . Later films like Logan certainly redeemed the character. Yet Origins remains a painful reminder of how studio interference can strip even the most iconic hero of his cl
