I have had an insatiable love of movies my whole life and collected comics for over 20 years. The end result is I have Rain Man-like knowledge of both. As a dad of twins, I spend my time being a dad, traveling, and getting my boys caught up on all things pop culture.My favorite comic characters? Green Lantern (Hal) and Captain America (Steve).
Spider-Man
There have been many Spider-Man cartoons over the years. Since 1967, when Spider-Man got his first cartoon and that theme song got stuck in the world’s collective brain, he hasn’t been off the TV screens for long. So, over the years, which has been your favorite Spidey cartoon?
DetailsX-Men: The Animated Series
The movie X-Men has been considered the validation that proved something like the MCU could exist, but this cartoon, I believe, was a front runner for that movie. More than most other cartoons, it brought the actual look, feel, and storytelling of comics to animated life!
DetailsJumanji: The Next Level
If you’re looking to step back into the same action-packed, hilarious world of the last Jumanji movie, then Jumanji: The Next Level delivers.
DetailsWith Thanos’ story culminating in Avengers: Endgame, many people are wondering who the next big bad of Marvel’s MCU movies is going to be. Process of elimination cuts many villains out of the possibilities. So, we’re ranking the villains most likely to manipulate and attack our beloved Marvel heroes in the future of the MCU.
DetailsStar Wars: The Holiday Special
If there’s a bright center of the Star Wars universe, this is the movie that it’s farthest from. Back in 1977, when A New Hope was released, it took the world by storm. The level of fandom that rushed to see it over and over was unprecedented. In a strange effort to capitalize on that popularity, and provide families with some fun Christmas viewing, George Lucas made Star Wars: The Holiday Special.
DetailsTitans
The second season of Titans proved to be an action-packed extravaganza in addition to a continuance of the high-level characterization of each team member that began in season 1. Great battle scenes with often disastrous repercussions brings up a troubling issue with the show not often seen in comic book related properties, though. There are a lot of Titans characters, heroes and villains alike, but you can’t kill them all off and keep a show long term.
DetailsStar Wars: Return of the Jedi
1983 saw the end to Star Wars, or so we thought at the time. The Return of the Jedi hit theaters by storm, bringing back all the characters everyone knew and loved. The adventure, the action, and the fun had returned.
DetailsStar Wars: Empire Strikes Back
It may have ended on a dark and dreary note, but Empire Strikes Back is incredible. Most consider it the best of all the Star Wars movies. It catapulted the franchise from being a great movie to a great series.
DetailsStar Wars: A New Hope
In 1977, the release of what was then simply known as Star Wars was the beginning of something never before seen in this world. It was a global phenomenon.
DetailsDoctor Sleep
The Shining is known as one of the best horror movies of all time. So, while Doctor Sleep is an exciting and good movie, it left me waiting in anticipation for scary scenes that were few and far between. As the heir to the Shining, this movie should have been scarier and more of a true horror movie.
DetailsI Am Mother
I Am Mother is a slow burn, tension builder of a sci-fi movie that teeters on the edge of thriller and horror territory. In a post-apocalyptic world where most humans have died, viewers are trapped in a claustrophobic bunker with one young girl being raised by a robot known as “Mother”. When a mysterious stranger shows up, audiences never know quite who to trust, machine or human.
DetailsStar Wars: Revenge of the Sith
Much like Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith was still battling perception problems due to the issues with the first two movies. Unlike Attack of the Clones, though, this one completed its task. Granted, the entire prequel trilogy catches a lot of hate, but when people do take the time to discuss the merits of this entry separately, it is often spoken of as the decent movie that it is.
