10 Crazy Facts About Marvel Comics!

I for one, have not give up on the DCEU. I'm excited about the universe that DC is building. This has been an exciting week for DC fans as trailers for two upcoming movies were released: Shazam! and Aquaman. These two characters have not always been the most popular in comics, but these trailers look promising. Each movie has a different feel but they both look very good. I'm looking forward to both of these movies.

Superhero Origins: Thor

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Review

I had wanted to read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick for some time. I was aware that it was the inspiration for Bladerunner. When I hear about "inspiration," I think of a fairly loose connection, something like the connection between the book and movie of World War Z . I was surprised at how closely Bladerunner followed Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? There are definitely differences. In the novel, one of the themes is that most animals and even insects have died as the result of radioactive dust. Having an animal contributes to social status. As a result, those who can't afford a real animal purchase artificial animals, not genetically created animals like the androids/replicants but mechanical animals. Hence the "electric sheep." There are also other elements such as empathy machines, a religious system, television entertainers and colonies on other planets. The androids are identified by administering psychological assessmen...

Thoughts on the Fantastic Four

I finally got around to watching the 2015 Fantastic Four movie. The fact that it took this long for me to watch it tells you how bad of a reputation this movie had. This was supposed to be one of the worst superhero movies ever. The truth is that I didn't think that it was that bad. It was slow but not horribly so. I thought it was better than the previous version of the Fantastic Four (and I didn't hate them either). I would say that I even liked this movie better than Iron Man 3 or the Amazing Spider-Man. There were some things that I didn't like. Like the previous version of Fantastic Four, I did not like how they portrayed Dr. Doom. I like the original version of Doom as a highly intelligent and devious supervillain in armour and with all sorts of high tech weapons. I also wished that the Thing would put some shorts on. To be honest, the Fantastic Four are not the most interesting comic book characters (I mean one of the main members is called Mr. Fantastic!)...
