It started with a wrong number text — or rather, a wrong number given to text. The guy — Bucky, apparently — had had a fantastic lay with some guy and was looking for another hookup.
Haley MonroePublished 7 years ago in Geeks'Thor: Ragnarok' Review
Thor: Ragnarok does most things better than any Marvel film to date. A fantastically, colourfully high watermark for the assembly line series. But it’s still a Marvel film. It has the same non-existent level of stakes as the rest. The same abundance of jokes, hollow drama, dreary exposition, winning chemistry, a shrug of the shoulders third act, etc. But what it has that no other Marvel film, or most movies for that matter, is Led Zeppelin’s "Immigrant Song" (twice!). And that immediately rockets it into a stratosphere all of it own, to be showered with adoration, gifts, and all worldly pleasures as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s champion.

Warning: SPOILERS for Thor: Ragnarok. Depending on which country you live in, Thor: Ragnarok, the latest film in the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe, has either hit, or is about to hit, a movie theatre near you. While nearly every MCU film to date has included a special cameo or two, fans who have already seen the film have been surprised by just how many familiar faces show up in Ragnarok.
Kristy AndersonPublished 7 years ago in GeeksThor Ragnarok: Review
When the trailer first hit for the third in the Thor trilogy, the internet was set alight with excitement and anticipation. Taking potential cues from Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor's moved into a more light-hearted and cosmic setting for what will likely be his final solo outing.

Robert CainPublished 7 years ago in GeeksBest Marvel Gifts for All Die-Hard Fans
Marvel Comics has been around since the Golden Age of Comics, and has turned into a major force to be reckoned with in pop culture. And you know what? It's a reputation that's well-deserved.

"Thwip!” I yelled, shooting a web at my sister while dodging her glowing lasso. Being on our trampoline made dodging her attacks much easier and plus made me look a lot more like Spiderman. Using another web to swing around her, I had a clear shot and fired. “Thwip!” Looking up, there lie my enemy, subdued by the sticky net. I was victorious!

Jacob ElyacharPublished 7 years ago in Geeks5 Reasons to Watch 'The Gifted' on FOX
Firstly, I'd like to give a brief explanation on what FOX's new show The Gifted is really all about. The series mainly focuses on the Struckers, your average, well-off, generically nuclear family. After certain events unfold within the first episode (I won't spoil anything), the parents discover that their children are mutants. Within this world, much like with any other X-title, mutants are feared and hated, so it's not a big surprise when the authorities begin their pursuit of the children for being "Dangerous Mutants." The parents, Reed (Stephen Moyer) and Kate (Amy Acker) decide that family is the most important thing and decide to flee the authorities to keep their children, Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) and Andy (Percy Hynes White), safe. The main antagonists of the series are the agents from "Sentinel Services" (If you think that word sounds familiar, you'd be right, "Sentinels" are those are the giant mechanized monstrosities known for claiming hundreds of mutant lives within the comics, movies, and television adaptations).

So, totally out of the blue, a new trailer dropped for Black Panther, and having watched it a couple of times, I thought I'd share my opinions on it.
Sam GamblePublished 7 years ago in Geeks'The New Mutants: Trailer 1': A Fanboy Reacts
So, this is another section in my little Fanboy thing I've got going on where I react to the most recent trailers for upcoming films that excite. Yes, they will tend to be comic-book based, but I'm a nerd, and these are the things that interest me. These will just be quick, first impressions from watching the trailers, with my immediate reactions and maybe some deeper musings if I notice anything.
Sam GamblePublished 7 years ago in GeeksMarvel Superheroes That Could Theoretically Exist
Superheroes are fictional characters... There, I said it. Sorry to rain on your parade, but superheroes who possess certain abilities and powers can't actually be real. If you think so otherwise, then let me know how a human can obtain the same powers as the Hulk or Thor. I didn't think so either.
