The Last Season of “Game of Thrones” Finally Premieres

The final season of “Game of Thrones” has finally premiered after more than a year-long hiatus, starting us down the road to the finale of one of the most popular television shows. Much like previous “Thrones” season premieres, this was a set-up episode. All of the characters are shifted into

A Disappointing Introduction for Marvel’s Newest Hero

A Disappointing Introduction for Marvel’s Newest Hero

Perhaps the best way to describe “Captain Marvel” is that it feels outdated, like a movie Marvel Studios would have made in the mid-2000s. Much like “Doctor Strange,” the movie dives into the origin story formula that defined the early Marvel movies, such as “Iron Man” and “Thor.” It is

“Marvel’s Spider-Man” Thrills in New PlayStation Video Game

Ever since I was a little kid, Spider-Man has been my favorite superhero. His powers are creative, his story is relatable and his adventures boast one of the finest collections of villains and supporting characters in comic history. I was a huge fan of the original Spidey game, 2004’s

Solid Character Work Barely Captures “Justice League” Audience

Solid Character Work Barely Captures “Justice League” Audience

If there’s one good thing I can say about “Justice League”, it’s that the league itself is in top-notch shape. DC’s greatest heroes have excellent chemistry with one another while remaining interesting on their own merits. It truly is a shame, then that they inhabit what is
