Marvel Superheroes
Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic and Comic Universe, exploring all things superhero and villain. Excelsior!
Contemporary Morality in the MCU
I came to the Marvel Cinematic Universe kind of late. Tobey Maguire was firmly cemented as Spider-Man, and I didn’t much understand or care for X-Men. Iron Man, 2008, was alright, but lost in the background against the likes of Twilight and Juno. Keeping an international fanbase engaged in a franchise that now spans more than twenty films in more than a decade is no mean feat. But of course, I’m not sure anyone could understand the sheer magnitude of what this movie would create.

Brie Larson Shares Intense Training Video For ‘The Marvels’
In 2019 Brie Larson starred as the titular Captain Marvel in the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe smash hit. The movie was mainly set in the 1980's and told the origin story of Carol Danvers, the talented Air Force pilot who became Captain Marvel. We saw the journey of an amnesiac Kree Starforce member, her meeting with Nick Fury before the formation of the Avengers, her subsequent transformation into Captain Marvel, as well as the role she played in the war between the Skull and the Kree. Danvers was arguably the strongest Avenger given the raw power resulting from the cosmic energy she absorbed from the Tesseract. We would agree that intense physical training was necessary to prepare her to wield such power.

Baron Mordo Warned Doctor Strange About His Actions And Looked To Be Correct
The Infinity War saga captivated Marvel fans with its heart, action and unforgettable moments, culminating in a huge crossover event featuring our heroes uniting to defeat a time-travelling Thanos. With plans for Marvel projects stretching two years into the future, the time is now to begin gearing up for the next Thanos-level threat. With the shattering of the Sacred Timeline in Loki, the revelation of Wanda as a Nexus being, and the reappearance of Alfred Molina as Doc Ock, the fabric of space-time itself is at stake. Who better to defend time as we know it than the Guardian of the Time Stone? Especially in this early stage of the next phase of Marvel movies, as new heroes such as the Eternals and Shang-Chi are introduced, Dr. Strange will take on a pivotal role in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Why Marvel Should Be Careful Bringing Doc Ock Back
Ever since Alfred Molina confirmed his version of Otto Octavius, aka Doc Ock, would be making his big screen return in the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans immediately began speculating how, considering that in Spider-Man 2 **SPOILER ALERT** he dies. Then we found out about the multiverse. Recent shows focusing on some of our favorite MCU characters have begun introducing us to the multiverse, and so the idea of him making a return has become less and less strange. However, Marvel should be very careful about how they go about this.

Was It Really Possible For Steve To Live The Nice Quiet Life 'Endgame' Suggested?
Avengers: Endgame is one of the best movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It served as the final farewell to not just that chapter in the MCU, but also to some of our favorite founding Avengers. Firstly, we said goodbye to Natasha Romanov, aka Black Widow, when, despite the best efforts of Hawkeye to stop her, she sacrificed herself to help the team acquire the Soul Stone so they were able to assemble a new Infinity Gauntlet and bring back all the people Thanos had snapped out of existence

Anyone else have this problem with Marvel's What If...?
Y'all been watching What If? There's a few episodes out so far, all taking place in different parallel versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, telling new alternate stories, and for the most part I've enjoyed them. However, there's one element of the show that I find oddly distracting. I'm not sure if anyone else has felt this way, but when I've been watching the show, I can't stop thinking about the casting.
