Is THIS movie the Worst Superhero Film Ever Made?
We have been spoiled with some of the best Superhero flicks ever made, but this golden age of comic book films begs the question: why were all those bad superhero movies made in the first place? After all, there is a long legacy of great stories from the comics themselves, so why do things become awful when transferred to the big screen? I'm here to give a few thoughtful answers to that exact question, but as we contemplate that, let us first remember all of the terrible renditions of our favorite heroes with a short list (in no particular order). I've had to narrow this down to movies that I have seen, so be sure to add your own thoughts and comments on the movies I do not have listed here.

In Marvel's comic world, many heroes have the benefit of being an alien, having powers, or both; however, there are more than a handful of heroes that have proved themselves just as heroic as any superpowered individual on the battlefield. While many of them you may recognize from the movies (Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, etc.), we're also going to take a look at heroes that are not so well-known. I've split this into two articles, due to the surprisingly large amount of civilian superheroes, so be sure to check out 'Part 2' when you're done here.

Once Upon A Time, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away: When Is 'Star Wars' Coming To Storybrooke?
ABC'S hit show Once Upon a Time is a powerhouse of fairytale magic that shows no sign of slowing down. Recently renewed for a sixth season and with the back-catalogue of Disney characters dwindling, where does the tale of Storybrooke go next? With the hype surrounding Disney's Star Wars, it only makes sense that Emma Swan and her band of intrepid fairytale foes take a trip to the Dark Side and saddle up for a trip to the stars.
