Marvel Superheroes
Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic and Comic Universe, exploring all things superhero and villain. Excelsior!
We Need Both
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame and potentially any Marvel films from before it. One of the hardest movies for me to watch is Captain America: Civil War. It's a movie where I feel obligated to pick a side. But I love heroes on both sides. I love Captain America and Iron Man.

Wanda Maximoff “The Scarlett Witch”, Could Beat Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America For The Title Of, “The Strongest Avenger”!
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought comic fans, movie fans, action fans, and people looking for entertainment over a decade of incredible action, incredible movies, and incredible stars. We will forever remember the moments that awed us, brought our hands together in applause, caused us to break out laughing, and even those that brought a few tears in a crowded room. From Iron Man to the Endgame, millions and millions of fans followed the movies with anxious anticipation for the next one starting to grow before the end credit scenes finished playing. Marvel, as a matter of fact, took the end scenes and made them into something that holds people in their seats, incapable of moving before they know what that scene is about, and then to the end of the credits for that final scene. The MCU changed the world of movies and left an indelible mark on culture.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Many people loved the movie Black Panther in no small part due to the performance of Chadwick Boseman. From his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War, through his own film, the Avengers films, and the upcoming What If? Series on Disney +, Boseman owned the role. Not only was he an excellent actor, he also had the look and the presence to carry the role as the King of Wakanda and superhero Avenger.

Wakanda Forever
Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther, King T'Challa of Wakanda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, may be the hardest of losses to the Marvel Universe as well as to fans of the movies. There's no question that Black Panther broke records. There's no question that Black Panther was a legacy-defining hit that won't soon if ever, be forgotten. It was no surprise that Marvel put the plans for Black Panther 2 on hold after the shocking death of its' lead actor, Chadwick Boseman. Now that it's in development again, we are just now starting to learn details of the anxiously awaited Black Panther 2.

Five MCU Actors Who Originally Auditioned For Entirely Different Characters
Over the course of twenty-three widely loved films, and now two smash hit television series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has built one of the best casts of any franchise, possibly of all time. Beginning with Robert Downey Jr's now iconic role as Tony Stark, all the way down to Kathryn Hahn's recent memorable turn as Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, the MCU has rarely dealt with any significant missteps with it's casting decisions.

What if Sharon Carter has always been the Power Broker.
In a previous article I expressed some distaste for the implementation of Sharon Carter in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It stemmed from how her path to evil began with her being seemingly abandoned by Steve Rogers after Civil War and how I felt that was inconsistent with Steve's character, defined as a person who always comes through for his friends, see Bucky and the other avengers stuck on the raft. I could only conclude that Steve could not find her because she did not want to be found and I did not feel like that sentiment was earned considering how little time they were separated before the events of infinity war. If she was not turn to dust in the snap, surely Steve could have used her expertise if nothing else to help during the crisis. Also the time frame feels really tight for her to leave the US and become the dominate force in Mandripore. I know she is portrayed as very capable, but that is a heck of a feat. Or is it? What if she had more time and a little help setting up her contacts? As she walked down the stairs after the hearing during the post credit scene in Falcon and the Winter Soldier a thought struck me, could she have been the Power Broker all along?

My Review of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a mini series that has recently been released exclusively on the Disney Plus streaming channel in 2021. Not a lot was known about this series just as the first series "WandaVision" but I think that was a great thing. It's surprising to say but Disney Plus has really gotten us excited to watch TV programs again. That's a hard thing to do in today's day and age. With the internet not a lot can be kept secret and yet they where able to keep things tight lipped until the very end.

The Moral Dilemma of Wanda Maximoff's Grief
The insanely popular show WandaVision on Disney+ raised a whole new collection of questions and interests regarding Wanda being revealed as the chaos magic witch (also known as the Scarlet Witch) who was prophesied in the Darkhold . Everyone is interested in everything about the future of Wanda Maximoff now that she has become aware of her abilities and seeks to explore their range even further. We know she will play a huge role in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel as well. However, what interests me is the ethical/moral dilemma of her grief and the surrounding repercussions of her magic creating a complex yet satisfying grieving journey for viewers. Was Wanda's Hex an act of evil? Was her avoidance of correcting the issue once being made aware of it inherently evil, or strong denial in grief? Was WandaVision careless in utilizing this plot for Wanda's grief?
