Fire and Ice
Frank Frazetta is widely regarded as the "Father of Fantasy Illustration," at least in the modern sense, and Ralph Bakshi is an all-around genius in his own right, having put out a succession of wildly divergent animated films, from the X-rated blue humor of Fritz the Cat (1972) to the rumble-in-the-jungle drama of American Pop (1981) and Heavy Traffic (1973). He also was the first to plumb the depths of the immortal Tolkien "Rings" saga, with his admittedly incomplete adaptation of the first third of the famous trilogy (the sequels, regrettably, were never made), The Lord of the Rings (1978). A confessed long-time lover of fantasy epics, Bakshi also made the cult favorite Wizards (1977), which had voices provided by Mark Hamill of Star Wars legendry, among others.

The Creator
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. The Creator is what every good movie ought to be. Thought-provoking, grounded, visually stunning, and heartfelt. This is especially important when it comes to science fiction movies in the twentieth century, where the film industry has become hyper-focused on creating things that can be turned into franchises, AKA cash cows they can milk until the cow collapses.

Madame Web
Okay so by now most people have seen the trailer for the new Madame Web movie. And I have heard mixed things, some people are really excited for it (the only correct answer) and some people are asking why it even exists. Well I’m just gonna say that there are 1000 bad superhero movies focused on men, we deserve some mediocre filmmaking too. Without worrying that this is the last representation we are ever gonna get. ALSO there are so many amazing women in the Spiderverse and they deserve some attention. But most casual viewers don’t know why it's being made because they have no idea who Madame Web is. And that's fair so here is your background into Madame Web and the other wonderful women that are making an appearance in this movie.

Echo
With Echo now released I thought we should do a little comic book background on her as well as assessing how accurate the show was. Now as always I do not care if story beats are accurate, that is not how comic book adaptations, or any adaptations for that matter should work. I do however expect characterizations to be accurate. The show has actually done a pretty good job but let's go through why and what we might see based on her appearances in the comic books.
