Concerning Netflix and Online Streaming Services: Houston, Do We Have a Problem?

Posted on August 17, 2017 by

It occurs to me, it is somewhat ironic to post this just one day before Netflix publishes Marvel’s latest addition to their cinematic universe, The Defenders. (you may expect a review forthcoming!) But what can I say? I get thoughts, … Continue reading →

Where Did All the Quality Urban Fantasy Books Go?

Posted on June 29, 2017 by

I like urban fantasy. Rather, I like urban fantasies that happen to be good stories. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Vampire Diaries, Grimm, Supernatural, all of these are urban fantasies, though two of them definitely include more than a little … Continue reading →

MCU Copycatting #11: Who Did Marvel Copycat?

Posted on June 22, 2017 by

This is one of those things that I only just realized, but is so obvious. Count the cineverses, which I define as distinct properties existing within the same cinematic continuity. 1: The Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2: The DC Extended Universe. … Continue reading →

MCU Copycatting #10: A New Contender

Posted on June 15, 2017 by

By my last count, we have at least half a dozen distinct cinematic universes out there. Marvel’s MCU, DC’s DCEU, Arrowverse, and the animated movie universe, Fox’s X-Men, Sony’s Spider-Man (which will no longer have Spider-Man in it) as well … Continue reading →

MCU Copycatting #9: Updates for Sony and Universal

Posted on June 8, 2017 by

I didn’t think I’d be updating my MCU Copycatting theme for quite awhile yet. I mean, we’re barely halfway through the year, it’s not even been five months since my last commentary, and the one before that was more a … Continue reading →

MCU Copycatting #8: The Race Evolves

Posted on January 20, 2017 by

The Defenders vs. the Hand: Connecting the Dots

Posted on November 3, 2016 by

It’s all connected. You know those moments of realization? The epiphany, they call it, when you suddenly figure it out. All at once, you see the pattern, the shape of things becomes clear. The past tells you the future, and … Continue reading →

A Buffy Fan-Theory: The Master and the Mayor

Posted on October 20, 2016 by

It’s Halloween time! AWOOOOO! (that would be my pathetic impression of a werewolf howl…) I have been waiting for months for Halloween to roll around again so I could post this. I mean, when else are you going to post … Continue reading →

Posted on August 4, 2016 by

It is time. Here comes Suicide Squad, hitting us within twenty-four hours. Since we’re (very likely) about to get something really good from the DC Extended Universe for the first time, I figure, why not give its predecessor one last … Continue reading →
