The Black Panther Trailer Dropped
To say that I await Black Panther with immeasurable anticipation and bated breath is an understatement. I have been admittedly overly dramatic and annoying in my social circles with talk of this project for well over a year. My excitement has been brimming since Marvel announced a Black Panther film back in 2014 among its list of upcoming projects, and the closer that we inch to the release of the film, the more unbearable the waiting becomes.

Wonder Woman Was A Success, But What's Next For DC?
Wonder Woman opened this past weekend with a weekend gross of $103 Million and a worldwide gross of $228 Million. The first female-lead superhero movie to accomplish this feat. It is also the first DCEU movie to receive positive reviews. Let's face it, the start of the DCEU has had its critics and Wonder Woman is the soft reboot it needed to survive because if this movie failed the DCEU would be dead in the water. Now that Wonder Woman was a box office and critical success, DC and Warner Bros. need to keep the momentum going with Justice League coming out in November. But does DC or Warner Bros. have a clear cut plan going forward?

Wonder Woman Renews Interest In a Long Underused Character (Spoiler-Free Review)
With a universe of popular characters as large as D.C.'s, it's strange how they've only recycled Batman and Superman over the last 50 decades at the forefront of their big budget material and reboots. Every character outside of these two hero's universes has either been used for a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show or short-lived tv series. But thanks to the 2013 film Man of Steel (yet another Superman reboot), D.C. has sought to catch up with Marvel's blueprint of bringing lesser-used heroes to the big screen. Man of Steel served as a test pilot for its sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which hinted at building the Justice League and was also a big-screen debut for the heroine of the hour, Wonder Woman. This is a big deal, considering the character has had little use over the decades since her tv show of the mid-70's.

Most Offensive Marvel Comics Stories
Comic book fans tend to get offended by a lot of things – when Spider-Man sold his marriage to Mephisto, for example – but there's a special place in the Marvel family for the most offensive Marvel Comics stories. Some stories just hit a nerve with fans or tick off a certain subset of people.

The Literal Social Justice Warrior
DC's recently released film Wonder Woman has sparked a lot of controversy. First there are complaints about bringing in more female superheroes, then issues when there was a female-only screening of the movie, and most recently conversation about whether or not the film is actually as feminist as is perpetuated.

Wonder Woman Review
More reviews at www.TheChairport.com While watching the first battle scene in Wonder Woman, it was the first time I caught myself not missing a single bit of the action. I wasn’t bored for a start, and the choreography was so well orchestrated along with a perfect use of slow motion where you see everything rather than it being a mess, which I have found with a lot of action scenes in other films recently. This interest kept me going throughout the entire film.

Doctor Who
“Never knowingly be serious.” Great advice from one of the oldest and newest favourite characters of science fiction. The Doctor is an alien. A Time Lord, in fact, from a planet called Gallifrey who travels through time and space in his iconic blue box, the TARDIS.

Marvel's Glorification of Bad Dads
In Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol 2, Peter Quill has the opportunity to finally meet his biological father, a god aptly named Ego who has plans to take over the entire galaxy and destroy all other life forms until only he remains. To put it simply, he is a bad dude. And at the end of the movie, Yondu, the blue alien who kept Quill instead of taking him to his biological father, helps save the day, essentially becoming a guardian of the galaxy. There is then a number of touching moments where Quill talks about how in the end, he was a great dude and was, in reality, his father because he raised him.

Six Marvel Characters That Will Never Be In the MCU
With the explosive success of Marvel's Cinematic Universe (or MCU) approach to filmmaking, combined with their vast library of characters, it seems there is no end in sight to the long string of appearances by the players from the House of Ideas. But there are some characters that might be better off remaining in their comic books, as any live action appearances on film or TV simply won't work for them. Here are six Marvel Comics characters not suited for the MCU.

What is Currently the Best CW Superhero Show?
The very first article I ever wrote was a preview for the CW superhero shows of Fall 2016, so it seemed only right that I would post an updated list of how I thought these shows ranked now that the season is over. Some shows got a major boost this season while others fell from grace, and I’m here to give you my “expert” opinion on which show is currently the best in the DC Flarrowverse.
