Can Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 rescue the MCU?
Over the next year and a half, the biggest release to come out of either Marvel or DC will undoubtedly be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, set for release less than three weeks from now. This is due to a number of factors; the culmination of a trilogy following the most-beloved group of superheroes outside of the original Avengers, a chance to see where James Gunn leaves the Marvel universe before jumping across to DC, and the introduction of at least two new key players to the MCU, which sorely lacks star-power following the departure of Iron Man, the original Captain America, Black Panther, and Black Widow.

5 Things That Went Wrong In:
Hope you like my article. I'd love to hear you out. Your opinion matters, a lot. Also, turn on desktop site if you're using mobile, trust me. The Legion of Superheroes (2023) was an action-packed adventure through time. Trying, and failing, horribly at putting us in The Last Daughter of Krypton's classy red boots. the only thing that I liked about this film was that Supergirl, true to her rebellious nature, punched first and asked questions later.

For those of us that have no chill and went to the internet to investigate the real story we know what is about to happen. But from a narrative perspective the cliffhanger was great and still left the future up in the air. The second half of the series is all murder and aftermath so here we go.

The Boys
Homelander Clearly based on Superman, I have a lot of thoughts on this actually because I don’t know how much of his commentary was intentional but here we go. Let's start with his nationalism, for those who don’t know Superman’s original catchphrase was truth, justice and the American way now I think that original ideal manifested itself as Homelander’s nationalism. Considering that that catch phrase was born out of war-time, the base idea was absolutely American lives are the only ones worth saving which is Homelander’s whole thing.
