'Logan' Proves That Superhero Movies Have Yet to Solve Their Villain Problem
*Spoilers Ahead* Let's get one thing out of the way up front; I loved Logan. Easily the best superhero movie of the last few years, as it used its R-rating smartly to deliver what I consider to be the quintessential superhero experience. Its ability to tackle a familiar character in a new way without the restrictions of a PG-13 rating ensured that audiences would receive a genuine and authentic Wolverine-focused movie that wouldn't shy away from the hero's darker side. While 2015's Deadpool showed that adult audiences were ready to support an R-rated superhero film, its use of humor and being an easily accessible protagonist made it an easy sell to the masses. Logan doesn’t have that working in its favor, as Wolverine's character has a slightly more complicated history, as well as being a drama, which can be a hard sell for those on the fence about superhero movies. Fortunately, Logan proved that you could tell meaningful stories within the medium of superhero movies, and while I applaud it for this accomplishment, Logan shows that the medium still has to improve on core aspects of itself.

Robert Downey Jr.’s done a brilliant job in bringing this character to life. Now. I’ve watched an in-depth analysis of Captain America’s character’s development, done by the brilliant YouTuber Tyler Mowery.

Reasons Why the Superhero Genre Is Here to Stay in Hollywood
Over the last few years, there have been opinions from respected people in Hollywood saying super hero movies are “bad content,” ruining what viewers want to see in theaters. Or running its course, similar to western movies; this comment being Spielberg’s comment. I’m here to shed some perspective on why those opinions are wrong. I have a few things I can point out. The main & probably the biggest reason I’m saying the genre is here to stay is kids. As long as there are kids there will always be marketable & profitable audience for the genre of superhero movies. For every animated/kid friendly movie there is a kid out there who dreams of being a hero & with characters like Black Panther & Wonder Woman being made into big Hollywood films, that audience keeps getting bigger & more diverse.

‘Thor:’ The Most Confused Trilogy of All Time
The 'Thor' trilogy has certainly been the most confused trilogy of all time. Why? Simple, a trilogy must have a common theme between the movies and a consistency to tell a common and greater story. Such as the 'Lord of The Rings' trilogy or 'The Dark Knight' trilogy. But 'Thor,' is very much confused with itself.

Casting Marvel's Cosmic Heavy Hitters in the Wake of the Disney/Fox Merger
Like an issue of What If...? the Marvel Cinematic Universe can now be what we fanatics have always envisioned it would be. The thin, legal force field that has prevented the X-Men from interacting with the Avengers and so many of our favorite Marvel characters appearing in the MCU has been brought down by the nigh-unstoppable entity that is Disney. Now we can finally (and realistically) begin speculation on who could/should/would play our favorite authoritative personas from the comics; namely the dynamic cosmic powerhouses that will face even greater threats that approach in the aftermath of Thanos and the Infinity War.

10 People Marvel Must Cast to Make the Fox Deal Work
For years, it seemed like a dream that would never come true, that Marvel would be able to include its biggest properties in the MCU. The idea of Mutants facing off with Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, or Doctor Doom battling The Avengers AND The Fantastic Four is now, with the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, a VERY real possibility.
