The Dark Herald Recommends Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange (2016) wasn’t the biggest or best of the Marvel movies but it certainly wasn’t at the bottom of their all-time leader board either. It says a lot about the current state of Marvel that I automatically think of the MCU in the past tense. As if I’m referring to Republic Pictures or Keystone Studios. The Marvel films from five years ago are just as gone as the silent movies. It’s as if the real Marvel left along with Stan Lee.Anyway,...

The Scarlet Hypocrite

From Bounding Into Comics:"Olsen commented about how she felt like her Civil War costume was one of her least favorite outfits that “needed an upgrade.” In 2018, Olsen stated that she did not like how “revealing” some of her older costumes were.“It would just not be a cleavage corset. I like corsets, but I’d like it to be higher. Everyone has these things that cover them—Tessa Thompson does, Scarlett does. I would like to cover up a bit,” she said....

The Martian Doorway

There was an intriguing formation photographed by the Curiosity rover. Give it time and it will be up there with the Face on Mars and the Nazca Lines.I found out about this at 2:00 am and quickly pounded this out. My late-night state of mind kind of shows:Reuters News Service, Houston Texas, 5:20 pm CDT. NASA Director, Galeraraack the Banth Devourer: The apparent doorway is most likely just a shear fracture due to some recent temblors. In all...

Wanda and Multiverse of Madness First Impressions

I only watched this damn thing because I’ve been skipping too much pop culture of late and I was overdue to take one for the team. And boy did I ever.Assuming I can steal time to write this any time soon, it’s going to be a Recommends With Reservations. My version of the two-star review. My criteria for Does Not Recommend is, that there is no reason to see this movie and truthfully there are actually a few reasons to see this...

Unshocking Kenobi Leaks

Yep. It's a Kathleen Kennedy show.#DoomcockWasWrong. There are now some late in the day leaks about Kenobi. And of course, he gets the Luke Skywalker treatment from Kathleen Kennedy.From That Park Place:"Star Wars will be retconned so that Obi-Wan Kenobi failed to protect Luke Skywalker… and in fact an inquisitor had the opportunity to kill him as a boy. However, out of goodness in her heart, she overcomes the desire to kill him and instead sacrifices...

Ncuti Gatwa Is the New Doctor Who

No, I didn't misspell that. I checked three times.Apparently, he's Scottish. I guess that explains the unspellable name.I don't know a thing about him, other than the BBC obviously still has a say in things.My only prediction for Doctor Who at this time is that Jodie Whitaker's last episode will be the most-watched episode of her entire run.There will be huge watch parties because every Doctor Who fan wants to watch that bitch die!UPDATE: I saw the interview...

It’s Time to Break Up Disney

I am willing to bet a few of the more realistic institutional investors are chewing that one over in the backs of their minds.And if they aren’t, then I guarantee Parks and Experiences executives in Orlando are quietly bringing the idea up over Dole Whips when the mega-moneymen visit Tomorrowland. Something that is not generally known to the public is that the great Red/Blue divide has very much divided the Walt Disney Company. Disney Burbank intensely loathes Disney Orlando and Orlando likes...
