Justice League - can it be saved by the fabled "Snyder Cut"? Part 2
Here is Part 2 of the "Snyder Cut" feature published earlier today. "Justice League" Production Issues By 2017, Marvel Studios and Disney were soaring high. They had released 16 films from the MCU and were so confident in their product, that they scheduled the third Thor movie ("Thor: Ragnorak") for release in the same month as "Justice League" (November 2017) - a single franchise lead against a full DC super-team. On the other hand, DC and Warner Bros. were reeling from the poor reactions to both "Batman vs Superman" and "Suicide Squad", but they had some hope after the overwhelmingly positive response for "Wonder Woman".

Justice League - can it be saved by the fabled "Snyder Cut"? Part 1
There's possibly no hotter fan war online than Marvel vs DC Comics, to the point where there have been co-ordinate efforts to bias ratings on independent movie review sites. There are even wide-spread conspiracies that Marvel Studio's owner, Disney, has paid film critics and publishers for positive reviews for Marvel films and negative reviews for DC/Warner Bros Studio films.

Meat Man
"The sun is rising over this beautiful city. I have always enjoyed this view. It is calm as everyone awakes and the city starts to stretch and get ready for the day. For me though, it is a break. A pause to the danger and fears that the night brings. I take up watch every night guarding this city so that I can have this moment one more time. No one knows of me or the powers I posses. Well besides the mayor that is. What are those powers you might ask... Well you will just ha-"

Kryptonite
Probably one of the most well known comic book items, even among those who don’t frequent comic books. Kryptonite; it's a song, an analogy, but more importantly it's Superman’s only known weakness, at least green Kryptonite is his weakness. Kryptonite takes many forms in the comics, some of which we get to see play out on screen in the form of Smallville (the best Superman adaptation that exists I don’t care). With all the changes DC comics has gone through and the many colors Krytonite can take form in, all causing different effects, it can get confusing keeping them straight or even knowing what all of them are. So here we go, here is where we break down all the colors and effects of Kryptonite…

The Arrowverse Characters Who Need Their Own Series
The Arrowverse has been the home to many fabulous characters, some of which haven't had nearly enough screen time. It's not that the writers didn't try to do their best by them, it's simply that there is a limited amount of time for the story to unfold per episode.

National Superhero Day 2020
Happy National Superhero Day, everyone. This day occurs every year on April 28. Here’s one fun fact about it: employees at Marvel Comics founded this day back in 1995. The purpose of it was for people to come together and celebrate their fictional or real life heroes. This is the 25th anniversary of the event and I have three superheroes I want to showcase. Whenever I put on a costume, I always feel like saving the world and people. You’re never too old or too young to dress up as your favorite superhero. Currently, we’re going through a health crisis, but this is a perfect day to remind ourselves that there’s always hope and can get through anything.

3 Film Genres That Would Pair Perfectly With Superhero Movies
There’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose of action. I have no doubt that superhero movies, as long as they remain well-written and expertly directed, will continue to fly off the shelves. However, just because people aren’t crying out for something a little different yet, doesn’t mean filmmakers can’t start experimenting early. After all, there were superhero movies before Iron Man (2008), and even before X-Men (2000), we just don’t talk about them much anymore.
