'Spiderman: Far From Home' Just Introduced the Phase 4? X-Men
Spoiler Alert Ahead! For those who had the chance to watch Spider-Man: Far From Home, I personally thought it was a great way to bridge the unanswered questions from Avengers: Endgame. What happened to those who came back from the snap, and what happens afterward. I won't break down the whole movie or the significance of those who returned, because there really wasn't any significance to those who returned from the snap. To get to the point, overall the movie stayed true to who Peter Parker was from the comics facing his everyday issues as a high school student would. It was like a romantic teen flick, only with an evil villain, a psychedelic trip, and somewhat of a confusing plot. Mysterio was Jake Gyllenhaal. That's about it. I have always had this love-hate relationship to whom Mysterio is in the comics. Although, I just didn't feel all too connected to him, and I love villains. At times I get excited when they reference a certain Easter egg that may give foreshadowing to the next phase, but within this movie, it just seemed those ideas were placebos. I found myself on the edge of the seat, then slowly sinking back to my seat. Spiderman: Far From Home was an overall good movie. I did get a kick to a number of Easter Eggs, but I wasn't on the edge of my seat. It was a great bridge to begin the next Phase.

Spider-Man In A Galaxy Far Far Away
SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME IS NOW IN THEATRES! I had the privilege of seeing the next chapter of "web head" yesterday, July 3rd, just in time to take the day off while the country observes Independence Day. The story takes place in Europe, during Peter's summer trip, and even though he just wants to enjoy his vacation (and impress M.J.), Nick Fury has a mission for Spidey.

'Iron Man 3'—The MCU's Secret Gem
Marvel’s Cinematic Universe is a large, diverse, and daunting collection of film that stretches over 10 years. Supplying the fans with 22 movies and another, Spider-Man: Far From Home, on the way within the next couple of days. With such a large body of work, it comes as no surprise that some of the films could be overshadowed by their own familial movies. Perhaps one of the most underrated examples of this can be found with Iron Man 3. The first of the trilogy starring Robert Downey Jr. was the start of the MCU phenomenon and is credited with changing the superhero movie game entirely (deservedly so). But the third film is often stacked at the bottom of MCU lists (not deservedly so). Iron Man 3 is actually the secret gem of the 22 movies. As opposed to the other movies before and after it, Iron Man 3 is a new kind of superhero story with more of an emotional depth. Those emotions provide for excellent growth within Tony’s relationships (both old and new), which inherently gives the viewer a new personal look into the characters. From that, the story-telling grows intensely in this movie and does something bold. Iron Man 3 was another side to the superhero story that is portrayed accurately and leaves viewers and fans with an even stronger attachment to the characters than they had before, this is an MCU film like no other.

Captain Spider-Man Costume Review
Greetings, Vocal readers. I'm here to do a review, but this time, it's this awesome Spider-Man suit (pictured above). I've never owned a Spider-Man suit before, but always wanted to own one. My suit arrived on November 21, 2018, just about a week before Thanksgiving. I was ecstatic and eager to put it on. When I first tried it on, I felt like I was part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, MCU for short. I posted pictures and video on social media, showing off my suit to my friends and followers. I've received positive feedback and I immediately fell in love with my suit.

Captain America's Influence on Society Today
Captain America is a character that has impacted our current society. While in the past it was through the comic book character, today it is mostly with the movie version. Captain Rogers affects different groups of people in different types of ways. To begin with, Captain America, and all other media, influences the economic state of the United States. The website The Numbers demonstrates how in the worldwide box office Captain America: The First Avenger made $370,569,776, Captain America: The Winter Soldier made $714,401,889, and Captain America: Civil War made $1,140,075,017 (the numbers 1). This clearly portrays how successful and popular the character is with today’s audiences; as shown by the previous paragraph, his traits and decisions make him an entrancing superhero to watch.

Phoenix from the Ashes? Or Just a Pile of Dust? All X-Men Films Rated
Starting in 2000, the X-Men franchise is the longest-running Marvel film series, with it being older than both the Spider-Man franchise and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The films helped thrust the Marvel comic book movies into the mainstream, after years of being in DC’s shadow. However, the movies featuring the mutant family have had polarising reviews, with the general consensus being that the series is quite hit-or-miss. So like when the Phase 1 MCU films were ranked, when did they hit the mark? And when did they miss by a mile? Let’s have a look.

Why Captain America Is Still Popular
In this day and age, Captain America continues to be an adored and popular character; this is the result of his virtuous and admirable qualities, as well as actions, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To begin with, the Captain America: The First Avenger movie is when the audience is first displayed his righteousness and ready-to-fight attitude. Steve Rogers' eagerness to fight in the film rings true to people who want to enlist in the army, and who are willing to do or give up anything. Steve vehemently claims,
