Following the events of Deadpool 2 (2018), it seems that Wade Wilson's (Ryan Reynolds) life hasn't turned out for the better despite his meddling in time (notably in the hilarious post-credits scene). However, it did attract the attention of the TVA - the Time Variance Authority, as introduced in the Loki tv series, and for some … Continue reading Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
So... a lot has happened since the first Aquaman movie - which we know, as there's a huge bit of exposition-y chat at the beginning here as Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) tells us all about his change of fortunes.

I have more than reached the point of "Urgh, not another Marvel TV show", if I'm being honest. And frankly, Hulk is probably my least-favourite character, smart version or otherwise. But, seeing this was only a half-hour show, I figured I'd give it an episode. And... it's fun. Ooh - there's what's been missing through … Continue reading She Hulk (season 1)
Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) is my kind of person. A writer, struggling with her new novel, reclusive until her publicist drags her on a book tour.
