Character Spotlight: John Constantine
I grew up with a mother who was into going to church so we couldn't watch The Exorcist or anything like that, but, during the summer of 2005, I woke up one morning and saw that my parents went to Hollywood Video because anytime they go to buy movies, they usually end up on the floor, but, if they rent, they leave rented movies on top of the TV. Anyway, they bought a few movies but rented one, Constantine with Keanu Reeves, and I wanted to watch it, but I had summer school.

Saturday mornings were always a special time for me. My dad had me watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series and I don't remember much of the show but the theme song stuck with me for a long time, I still remember it. He also had me watch the animated series to X-Men and I'm pretty sure he got me into Batman: The Animated Series too but I know for a fact that he got me into Batman Beyond and Dragon Ball Z. Also, my mom surprisingly got me into the Batman movies with Michael Keaton (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Beetlejuice), Val Kilmer (Top Gun, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), and even George Clooney (Gravity, O Brother, Where Art Thou?). I love my mom but damn it, I have no idea why I was so into Batman & Robin but then, I went to live with my dad for a year while I was nine, he got me into Hulk although, I didn't know more about him until The Incredible Hulk came out.

Marvel characters have always played a major role in entertaining us, from TV to action figures. The constant recycling of heroes and villains has, however, led to the tiresome monotony that we are just not down for.
Goran KezićPublished 6 years ago in GeeksYet Another Unasked For, but Still Spoken Opinion
Dear Vocal Readers, Oh, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chances are high that almost everyone on Earth knows of or has seen something associated with Marvel. The company produces new movies every year and profits greatly from them (With greatly meaning at least 10 billion dollars as of 2017). Whether you love, hate, or have no opinion of the movies, you can not deny its overwhelming success and worldwide popularity.
From 'Pepper' to 'Peggy': Influence of Women Power in the MCU
For far too long, the word "superheroes" have gone up shoulder-to-shoulder with men, leaving the women out of the equation. Heroes have been visualized as caped and suited men and until today, people fail to grasp the meaning of being a "hero." Being a hero doesn’t necessarily signify capes or superhuman strength; it’s what lies within a person. It’s the heart that counts. While the men have snatched the limelight in the MCU so far, it’s important to focus on the other gender for a while. Let’s look at some of the important contributions in the MCU from the ladies.
Rik SinghaPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe X-Men Are in the MCU… But What About Magneto?
The news that Disney are finally acquiring 20th Century Fox has opened up possibilities that many of MCU fans thought they could only dream of. Properties such as the X-Men, X-Force, New Mutants, Wolverine, Deadpool, the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer, the Savage Land, the Starjammers and the Shi’ar are all coming home and could potentially interact with your favourite Avengers on screen. However, one character’s transition from the Fox-verse may be a tad problematic. I’m talking of course, about the X-Men’s greatest foe, the Master of Magnetism: Magneto.
Marco CardoniPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWill Aquaman Be the Worlds of DC’s Black Panther?
In the trailer for Warner Bros.' and James Wan’s Worlds of DC movie Aquaman, fans noticed some similarities to Marvel Studios' and Ryan Coogler’s MCU movie Black Panther. With similar imagery, themes, and villainess motivations, it’s not hard to draw comparisons between the two films. Both movies feature superheroes who would be kings, advanced civilizations, and family members who seek to take control of said civilizations and use their resources to wage war on the rest of the word.
Zack KrafsigPublished 6 years ago in GeeksSam Raimi's Spider-Man Changed My Life
In kindergarten, I was somewhat of a problem child, if only in the way that everyone is when they’re five years old. I had already had several confrontations with a particular student due to my hyperactive imagination when, one day, I decided to follow this certain troublemaker around the playground and investigate. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Obviously, at the end of recess, like any normal person would, this student told the teacher that I was stalking them. When the teacher asked me why I was following around this poor girl the entire time we were supposed to be playing, I broke down into tears. I explained it in the simplest way I knew how: one day, I was going to grow up to be a superhero, and she would be the supervillain, and I was going to kill her.
Dalton SwinkPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Unforgiven' Has the Perfect Antagonist
I want you to take a moment and think of a movie villain. It can be your favorite, or it can just be a well-known one, or maybe one that’s a little underappreciated at times. Got one? Good. If you were going for someone iconic, you might have thought of a character like Darth Vader, literally any version of the Joker, or maybe even Voldemort. If your tastes aren’t that mainstream, you might have said something along the lines of Hannibal Lecter or Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Dalton SwinkPublished 6 years ago in Geeks10 DC Comics Properties That Warner Bros. Can Save the DCEU With
The DC Extended Universe is a sinking ship. Warner Bros.’ answer to Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not living up to the tremendous potential it had. They’ve given the world a depressed and dour Superman, a murderous Batman, and a Justice League that feels rushed. Aside from Wonder Woman, the five DCEU movies released so far are objectively disappointing, both financially and critically. However, I believe that with a few tonal shifts, the right writers, the right directors, and these incredible properties, Warner Bros. could save their Great DCEU Experiment and make their game of catch-up with the MCU a bit more neck-and-neck.

Another 10 Properties Marvel Can Turn into Great Franchises
Back on July 4, I submitted a list of what I believed to be the top ten Marvel properties that Marvel Studios could turn into successful franchises. Since that was my most successful article, I decided to make a sequel to it. Now, like most sequels, this article was not asked for, nor was it necessarily wanted, and it probably won’t be as good as the original article, but I’m making it anyway. This time, I’ve included some characters associated with the Fantastic Four and X-Men, but like last time, I didn’t add them specifically to the list, given the inevitability that we’ll see them enter the MCU as new franchises. And with that, I present you with number 10:
