One of the reasons why is that the Russo Brothers know to their bones how to direct action to convey character. The Russos are not flashy stylist directors. Their work is nearly stark in its technical plain-ness; I admit to a fondness for ‘lack of...

Sorry to be away so long. It’s been an astonishingly bad year for me personally, in the midst of a bad year for the planet in general. I’ll probably post about it soonish — it’s a story that needs to be told — but all the matters right now is I’m back, the blog is back and we’re going to ease in with another MCU centered post, a one-off on a single fight from Captain America: The Winter...

Maybe.) “Those arguing that BLACK PANTHER is the first MCU movie to A) be about something and B) take place in something resembling the real world are enabling cultural amnesia…” So, the above tweet thread popped into my time line the other day (I have a screen cap of the thread but haven’t contacted the tweet owner so I’m not giving their...

Or at least the men who run the major superhero comics hate it. Joe Quesada famously obliterated Spiderman’s charming, logically consistent marriage to Mary-Jane (though the current “Renew Your Vows” series may correct that mistake). DC lost the award winning Batwoman creative team in 2013 in no small part due to their...
