Geeks has assembled the top list of all things comic, entertainment, superheroes, and popular culture.
'The Avengers: Infinity Wars' Superheroes Getting Their Own Movies
As the superhero team of Avengers is growing at a fast pace since the year 2008 with the introduction to Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe also becomes larger. The Avengers: Civil War is set to have one of the most star-studded casts that a superhero movie has come to see, ever. Everyone knows that the original Avengers consists of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk, but as we are introduced to more superheroes and other assets to the Avengers team, we are introduced to more opportunities for movies.

Top Ten: Comic Book Movies!
Comic books. They have for the better part of the century been the fodder for films. But what are the best of these? With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman making trucks full of money, we’ve decided to countdown our top ten comic book films! But what oh what were our rules? Well, first the movie had to be based on a comic book, graphic novel, or manga. Now, this does include things like A History of Violence and V For Vendetta. We didn’t just cater to the superheroes on this one! Secondly, we’re disqualifying 2017 releases. So even though Wonder Woman is a fantastic film worth your money it won’t be on here. And lastly, each list we received had ten films on it, each film was given a point total corresponding with their position (movie ten got one point, movie one receives 10 points etc.). So without further ado, it’s clobberin’ time!

Saddest Deaths in the Harry Potter Series
J.K. Rowling, the literary genius behind the Harry Potter series has a talent for writing tragic death scenes. As any true Harry Potter fan knows, the series is full of sadness. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was an absolute bloodbath. I still get emotional when I think of how some of these characters passed away. You would think in a fantasy magical world there would be an easy way to prevent death or to bring people back to life, but there isn't. We all know how using Horcruxes worked out for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Rowling seems to have enjoyed making her readers cry because the deaths in the series are absolutely gut-wrenching. Here's a reminder of the most upsetting deaths in Harry Potter, in case you had forgotten what it was like to cry. WARNING: this post includes spoilers!

Shows, Movies, and Games that Scared Me When I Was Young
When I was young, I was a fluttery child. I wasn't into being thrilled, at least not as much as today, where dark humor is the build of my comedy. Though you may say "This isn't scary!", but remember that I was practically a total wuss at a young age. By the way, these topics aren't in any particular order, and contain some spoilers!

Scariest Marvel Villains
The Marvel Universe was created in the 1960's by Stan Lee alongside Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. The world of Marvel revolves around the supernatural, and characters who have special powers. In the Marvel comics, there are tons of heroes and villains, and because of this, the developers have had to get creative with the characters' backstories. The violent and eerie nature of the following villains is what caused them to make it on this list. Some of these characters are so messed up they'll keep you awake at night. Caution: may contain spoilers.

Battle of The Anime Bad-Asses
Like Fight Club, there are some unspoken rules to being a bad-ass in anime. The first rule of being a bad-ass: A bad-ass does not purposely try to be a bad-ass. A bad-ass is simply a bad-ass. Period. Second: A bad-ass does what he wants, when he wants and how he wants. He follows his own path, lives by his own rules and stands by his own decisions. Third: A bad-ass must have the ability to kick anyone's ass, without as much as breaking a sweat, and still look amazing doing it. Fourth: A bad-ass gets shit done, fearlessly and confidently, and does it in a really cool way. Fifth: A bad-ass NEVER gives up. A bad-ass can take down anyone who crosses him, without even thinking about it. If he has a goal in mind, he won't stop until it's achieved, even while being badly injured, near death or dead.

9 Superman Stories Everyone Should Read.
While not as popular as the caped crusader, Batman. Superman is *THE* quintessential superhero. The first, and greatest. Since his creation in 1938, Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent, have become the cornerstone of pop culture, recognised the world over, and has become the hero of many. But when it comes to comics, I find that people are incredibly reluctant to explore the man of steel’s many, many wonderful stories. Some refer to him as the big blue boy scout, others say that he is completely un-relatable, or even boring, but I assure you, that’s not the case. While it is incredibly tempting to scream at you all to dive straight into the DC Rebirth books for Superman, it seems worth gathering an understanding of the character and his universe, before his days as a father, husband, and protector of the world from the town of Hamilton County.

Top Ten: Kevin Costner Films
The Snobs here decided to take a look back at Costner and his resume. It’s one brimming with sports films (including Draft Day, which we’ve excluded because you guys haven’t seen it yet), and period pieces. Whether he’s building it so they will come or raising the man of steel, Costner always brings that smug charm that’s always served him well. Without further ado let’s get to it with number ten…

Best Marvel Comics Television Series
Marvel Comics is, and always will be, one of my favorite businesses of all time. They are literally in the industry of telling stories, giving us heroes to look up to, and just creating amazing works of art involving great plots, incredible characters, and twists at every pace.
