Is Sony Missing the Point of 'Venom?'
The upcoming Venom movie has been something of a head-scratcher for fans since it was announced. First, fans wondered if this movie could even work without Spider-Man in the film, but then it was hinted at that the film was going to part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe... only to be redacted a week later.

Robert CainPublished 6 years ago in GeeksYour Basic Summary of the Marvel Universe Leading to 'Infinity War'
It's been a while since the first movie Marvel made under Marvel Studios came out. Ten years, to be exact. And the Marvel Cinematic Universe claims that those ten productive years spanning 18 films have all come down to this film, Avengers: Infinity War, and its sequel releasing next year. So in case you didn't have a lot of time on your hands like I did to rewatch all 18 movies to remember what happens, here's a brief summary for you.
Amanda ClarkePublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe 'Infinity War' B.O
Early projections currently have Infinity War opening somewhere between 235-255 million dollars, with a domestic sum of $565-650 million. Those aren’t bad numbers by any stretch, but it's possible that analysts are underestimating the film's overall performance. Let’s do the math and see how, well, or far off the current predictions are for Infinity War's domestic box office haul.
James F. EwartPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe Doctor Is in: 10 Actors Who Could Play Morbius in the Upcoming Sony Film
It seems that Sony is creating their own film universe with all of the Spider-Man villains they still own, including Morbius, the Living Vampire. While he's an obscure villain, Sony apparently thinks he's well-known enough to give him his own feature film, and let him join the likes of Venom and Kraven the Hunter in what I would assume to be a connected universe. Even though very few people know who this character is, the right actor is still required for the role, and I have a few ideas on who could don the fangs of Morbius.
Jacob CraigPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Avengers: Infinity War'; Who Might Die?
Spoiler warning for all MCU films, up to and included Black Panther. The release of the third installment of the Marvel Avengers is fast approaching, and many of us fans are worried that our beloved superheroes might not make it out alive. We have reason to be worried too, with multiple actor contracts finishing at the end of Avengers 4, leaving us wondering who will survive for the films that follow.
Tyler BellPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWhat If Black Panther's Killmonger Had Won?
Erik Killmonger's last line in Black Panther was uncomfortable. Sitting in the theater, I felt angry that Marvel had just made me feel a resounding empathy for their psychotic villain (and make no mistake, he is psychotic). I also, as a writer, felt jealousy over the brilliance of what they'd just done.
Matt CatesPublished 6 years ago in GeeksJust How Many Heroes Will Die in 'Avengers: Infinity War'?
Avengers: Infinity War will feature a whopping number of Marvel Comics characters (possibly 67 main characters) and it's no secret that some of them are going to die. Could Iron Man bite the dust? Captain America? Fans have been speculating for months, and will be until April, but perhaps the comic books have the answer.
Can You Write an Original Screenplay?
Does Syd Field's Paradigm help or hinder screenwriters in the creation of original work? Throughout the entire history of cinematography, the screenwriters accomplished delivering captivating, challenging and successful stories. At the beginning, screenwriters, unwillingly, created stories and clear narrative structure by using three acts or five-act structures that could be found in the Shakespearean plays. In 1979, the idea of a conventional three-act structure was officially created by Syd Field when he described it in his book The Foundation of Screenwriting. The Syd Field Paradigm was popular raised in Hollywood and it became the foundation of screenwriting for almost every film. His structure became a reliable pillar of fundamental knowledge when it comes to write a screenplay, and by doing so, through this book he encouraged many writers to follow it.
Denis FlaviusPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Infinity War': Who Will Die!!
INFINITY WAR!!!! This movie will be released in my local cinema on the 26th of April this year, and you can be assured I will be going to see it. The end of an era that has been building and building from the original Iron Man film that aired in 2008. I, with many other marvel fans have been waiting ten years to see the climax of the marvel cinematic universe phase three. The time has come for the big purple dude to come in to the universe as more than a side villain and wreak havoc on the world. Our beloved avengers must team up with Spiderman, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy to save the world. But the Mad Titan will not be defeated easily, he will take some of our heroes with him (if he is even defeated that is!).
Greg FalconerPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Doctor Strange 2' Might Not Be Happening
We've all seen the latest Infinity War trailer, which shows an ominous picture of the Sorcerer Supreme in some very serious trouble. While I, like most fans, suspected this to be just a tease and there's no way they would kill off such a character so soon after their initial introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Benedict Cumberbatch, there may not necessarily be a Doctor Strange sequel in the near future.
The One True GeekologyPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe Date Change for 'Infinity War' Is Bigger than You Think
Robert Downey Jr. and Marvel Studios rocked the world when they announced that the third Avengers film would be pushed ahead from May 4 to April 27, meaning that fans would have to wait one less week before Earth’s mightiest heroes face off against the Mad Titan. This change in release date did not come without consequence, as the Dwayne Johnson monster flick Rampage was also pushed up a week ahead of its April 20 release date (much to the disappointment of stoners). However, there’s more to it than simply shuffling when a movie will come out, in fact, this affects the entire spring and summer blockbuster seasons.
