Werewolf
Randolf couldn’t help but smile a little when the two left the room. Faelan was the perfect wolf to help the princess heal, no one was kinder or more gentle. Klara whimpered in pain while Iskra lifted the bandages and Randolf flinched. Even after much healing, large chunks were missing from where Gerrick’s teeth had ripped through, leaving ugly divots and mangled flesh.

The MCU has given Marvel fans one spectacular movie after another over the course of the last decade and a half. Along with that run of amazing films, Marvel Studios has also given us one of the greatest villains in the entire history of cinematography.., Thanos.

I Turned One of My Favorite Marvel Heroes into a DND Character!
From the moment my father taught me about the Marvel universe, I knew it would become an obsession until my last day.

I only fell deeper down the rabbit hole when I was first introduced to Dungeons and Dragons.

4 Reasons Why MCU Fans Get So Defensive When their films are criticized.
One of the most recent phenomena is the reaction toward fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or "MCU") for being defensive toward the criticism it has received from directors like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. It is common for people to lambast these fans for "being dramatic" or "taking things too personally." However when we look at things from an empathic lens, its easy to understand where this resentment comes from. Here are 4 (possible) reasons why MCU fans become so defensive when their films are criticized.

Werewolf
Ch-21 Carina flinched, shutting her eyes. But the sword never came close to her and she heard Gertrude gasp in pain. The fairy and wolf starred in stunned surprise as Klara sunk the sword into Gertrude’s torso. Gertrude grunted in anger and surprise then threw Klara back with a blast of dark magic. “Pathetic, worthless girl!” she drew out the sword and it disappeared, no wound left in her body.

Eternals vs GotG 2
So I watched and was disappointed by the Eternals and to be quite honest all I was thinking about through a good portion of that movie was “Guardians of the galaxy did this so much better” because like it or not we’ve already been introduced to the concept of eternals and we’ve already seen a family like dynamic when they all have different motivations and moral compasses. We’ve already seen relationships within a family like a unit develop and play out and we’ve seen it sone so much better then the underdeveloped mess that the eternals gave us.
