The Marvels: Must See*
*-Screw you shit talkers about MCU. If there’s anything out there that needs to be put out of its misery, it’s SNL. Funny there’s no fatigue for a painfully, not funny TV show or how certain, overrated directors just make the … Continue reading
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Must See
Before he hopefully fixes most of DC’s problems, James Gunn closes out his magic with Marvel’s D-List heroes…The Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3! We all know this is it for the cast’s majority since nobody wants to be in … Continue reading
Spider-Man sighting today!
He truly is a friendly neighborhood kinda’ hero! Here he was giving a high-five to a budding superhero, I’m guessing Spider-Boy, while patrolling Pinballz. I imagine he’s pretty skilled at any game involving those spider-like reflexes. Not sure if his … Continue reading
Ant-Man…Quantamania: Must See, screw the naysayers!
I know I’m late to post this and sadly it’s allegedly MCU’s first major failure or flop or whatever, especially in light of how everybody and their uncle is jumping onboard the “Marvel needs to give it a rest” train. … Continue reading
RIP Neal Adams
Yet another sad passing I found out later, thanks a lot New York Times! But, better late than never. The legendary comic-book artist Neal Adams died last Saturday at age 80 and for us nerds, he was a big deal. Back … Continue reading

MCU Recap 3:What If…?
Thanks to Loki opening up and preparing audiences for the canonization of MCU having a multiverse, What If…? utilizes animation to explore the possibilities about their various movies having key plot points take a different direction and let them lead to varying outcomes … Continue reading
Black Widow: Worth Seeing (MCU Recap 2)
I wanted to see this movie not to just be an MCU completist (I’ve only missed one MCU movie in a theater) but as a show of support to Scarlett. The actress was a trooper in a male-dominated genre and … Continue reading

MCU Recap 1: Loki and Modok
We’re about six weeks away from Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and I sat on my ass, failing to blather on about the latest MCU crap and whatever else came out in the meantime. Sure there’s spoilers by now … Continue reading
Danny DeVito is closer to the real character’s height
OK, I was wrong, according to imdb.com, Danny is 4′ 10″ (1.47 m) and what I remember from the Marvel Universe comics, Wolverine (aka Logan) is 5′ 2″ (1.58 m) but let’s face it, movies prefer the illusion of height: many … Continue reading
MCU TV is off to a solid start with these two
Both of these original mini-series via Disney+ did a pretty great job scratching my MCU itch during the Pandemic since Black Widow and other movies were pushed back until it was safe to sit in a theater. I also think the … Continue reading
RIP Chadwick Boseman
Such a damned shame too. I was really looking for to the Black Panther sequel and more Avengers movies because when I was a kid, he rescued them in the Seventies from some gravity-based villain (I guess Magneto was busy). He was young, … Continue reading
RIP Denny O’Neil
Another legendary person who helped mold modern comic books passed away peacefully in his sleep. Denny was a vanguard when it came to writing. Unlike many of his contemporaries at DC Comics, he was a journalist before contributing to Green Lantern … Continue reading
My contribution to this year’s Teddy Bear toss
One upside to having all those Pinballz points is that I often have enough to score a toy for the Stars’ charity thingy. Last year it was Rick & Morty, this time I figured a kid would love to have … Continue reading
RIP Ernie Colón
Another great guy who worked in Comic Books passed away last week. I never gave his heritage any thought because he went by the Anglo version of Ernesto, ergo, he was an American like Jack “The King” Kirby (Jewish) or … Continue reading
Spider-Man: Far From Home: Worth Seeing
After a huge event movie (Aftermath) bringing 11 years of story to a close, one would think the trivial adventures and personal life of Spider-Man would be a letdown. Not so, Kevin Feige brilliantly found a way to give the … Continue reading
