You Won’t Be Able to Watch Captain Marvel on Netflix

Fun fact: the “+” in Disney+ stands for “more,” obviously, but also “not available on Netflix, sorry.” With its plans to launch its own over-the-top video streaming service, Disney’s preparing to change the way it invites people to journey to the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the comfort of their own homes. During yesterday’s earnings call,…

Just How Big Is a Star Destroyer Compared to an Ewok?

Did you know that BB-8 is actually taller than Yoda? Or that Boba Fett’s Slave 1 ship is almost as tall as an AT-AT when standing on its tail?

Don’t Worry, Disney Will Keep Deadpool R-Rated

When the family-focused Walt Disney Company moved to acquire 20th Century Fox, many wondered if the integration of Marvel properties would have one particular casualty: the R-rated nature of Deadpool.

These Star Wars Shorts Are Making a Mighty Fine Case for Animated Versions of the Films

You thought the Galaxy of Adventures series would peak at turning Darth Vader’s Rogue One massacre into a kid’s animated short? No. No, it did not. Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Kids initiative has, so far, been a cool way to introduce not just the world of the galaxy far, far away to young audiences but, through…

Watch a Brand New Pixar Short From the Comfort of Your Computer

Usually, the only way to see a new Pixar short is before a new Pixar feature in the theaters.

The First Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark Teasers Are the Stuff of Disgusting Nightmares

As much fun as we all had with Goosebumps growing up as kids, everyone knows that true young horror connoisseurs always end up gravitating towards Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark because they’ve always been legitimately terrifying as opposed to kitschy. Silly as some of the books might read now if you…

New Avengers: Endgame Footage Already Won the Super Bowl

The biggest movie during last year’s Super Bowl was Avengers: Infinity War. And so Earth’s Mightiest Heroes had to come back for 2019, right? Well, half of them at least.

Jim Lee Takes Aquaman’s Black Manta and Brings Him Back to the Page

The design for Black Manta in the Aquaman movie was, especially for comics films, remarkably close to his drawn counterpart, capturing his silhouette and outfit rather effectively. Even still, it’s neat to see Jim Lee take that design and turn it back into a piece of comic book art. In a “down and dirty sketch” Lee…

This Dark Fan Film Gives Moon Knight A Well-Deserved Live Action Debut

I can’t explain why, precisely, I have such a soft spot for Moon Knight. I’m not really a reader of his comics, and he’s not one of the biggest names in Marvel. But there’s something fascinating about his design, his strangeness, his evolution from a Batman clone to something more distinct. With that said, it’s…

Hans Zimmer Also Thought The Dark Knight’s Music Was Too Damn Loud

Christopher Nolan makes some compelling movies (and some I can’t stand), but regardless of my thoughts I do not particularly enjoy watching any of them in the theaters. Why? Because I can’t hear the dialogue. Funnily enough, the person who wrote Nolan’s most famous musical scores agrees with me. It’s a common complaint about Nolan’s…
