Move Over Belle And Cinderella, 'Wonder Woman' Could Be A Disney Princess!
The recent super heroine film, Wonder Woman, came out kicking and lasso swinging as it left satisfaction among its viewers. The blockbuster broke the traditional aesthetic surrounding comic book films, introducing a new way to save the world with your friends –– and while doing so, included a scene touched with a bit of inspiration from one of Disney's popular animated films, The Little Mermaid.
Ricksen's––A––"Neo-Manteau"Published 6 years ago in GeeksTravis: The First Superhuman
A man in wrinkled clothing comes off the public bus. He has his backpack on and he walks towards his school in Kansas City, Missouri. The streets are empty at the moment as his unshaved face stares down at his feet at the worn out shoes that are starting to tear on the sides. After such a long walk that took around thirty minutes he finally arrives at the Kansas City Future School.

For years, it seemed like a dream that would never come true, that Marvel would be able to include its biggest properties in the MCU. The idea of Mutants facing off with Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, or Doctor Doom battling The Avengers AND The Fantastic Four is now, with the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, a VERY real possibility.

Currently I am watching the newest installment of DC comics, the Justice League. I know really late. My brother said it is better than all the Marvel movies and the rest of the DC films. That was not the case.

Vassilis DimitrosPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe History of the Ever-Evolving Gotham City
Our favorite billionaire playboy by day and caped crusading vigilante by night will always have a special place in our pop culture history for now and for years to come. It is a story of vengeance and moral ambiguity that most are protective of and willing to pounce at those who intend to change its origins. This is probably the root cause of all the issues that the new Ben Affleck solo Batman movie is having. It is a profoundly effective superhero genre with a cultural phenomenon following behind a multitude of interpretations and ideas that it becomes somewhat difficult to settle on just one.

Cops vs Superheroes
Earlier this year, a close friend of mine was killed at the hands of police. I won’t go into too much detail about it (because this article has enough triggers), but long story short, it wasn’t met with the worldwide media attention as a bunch of other fatalities handed by police towards black men and women. That’s not to say that I think they all need to flood your Facebook timelines every time a black person dies at the hands of police (oftentimes unarmed) because if so, we’ll wouldn’t be able to escape it.
X-24 Gave 'Logan' the Symbolic Ending Needed for Hugh Jackman's Farewell
(WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from Logan. Proceed with caution!) No one ever would have thought that an R-rated superhero film, shown only in 2D, would be as successful as #Logan is proving to be. Yet this film is defying every expectation, from smashing it at the box office to featuring a female character who stands against every stereotype. Fans can't get enough, and it's easy to see why. As #HughJackman's final outing as #Wolverine, this film is incredibly emotional. And the ending, while heartbreaking, was the perfect goodbye if not to the character itself, then definitely to Jackman.

(WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Logan. Proceed with caution!) This weekend, #Logan was released, marking the last #XMen film in which we will see #HughJackman and potentially #SirPatrickStewart. Theaters across the globe were packed with fans feeling a mix of excitement, anxiety and sadness. It has so far made $247 million globally, and with IMDb rating it 8.7/10 stars and the overly critical Rotten Tomatoes giving it a whopping 93 percent, the critical reception is off the charts. Both Jackman and Stewart have been praised by everyone who has seen this masterpiece, and deservedly so, but one cast member who we desperately need to talk about is Dafne Keen, who played Laura, also known as #X23.
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWill the Success of 'Doctor Strange' Result in Darker Marvel Movies?
It's been a month since the initial release of Marvel's #DoctorStrange, and it's still one of the most talked about topics on the internet. People simply can't get enough, and can we blame them? The hype around this movie was massive, and just from the trailers we could tell that it was going to mean big things for the MCU. One thing's for sure: This is not your average Marvel movie. Doctor Strange brings a few things to the table — having a somewhat unlikely hero taking the lead, introducing magic into the #MCU, and of course, the film's tone itself is darker than most Marvel films. The internet seems fairly torn. Will these changes be for better or worse?
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in Geeks5 Female Comic Book Characters That Could (and Should) Head Their Own Films
Superhero films are all the rage right now. Whether they're causing controversy or highly anticipated, it's impossible to go onto the internet without coming across some sort of superhero news. Currently, one of the most talked about characters is without a doubt the crazy, bubbly Harley Quinn. The question remains: When will DC finally give in and give movie fans the film they've been asking for?
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe Cast of 'Suicide Squad': Then Vs Now
DC's Suicide Squad, which has been in theaters for nearly two weeks now, continues to prove to the critics that bad reviews will not stop fans from coming. So far it has raised $465 million in global ticket sales! This film is surrounded by controversy — particularly with Harley Quinn — and has sparked huge debate among fans and critics alike. Part of that problem are, of course, the costumes. Love them or hate them, they are an important part of the movie. Some of the actors are completely unrecognizable in their super villain get-ups, and I'm not just talking about Killer Croc.
