After the Endgame

Image
Very soon, we will know what happens in The Avengers: Endgame . We will know how the story that we’ve been following for over ten years and across twenty-two movies comes to a close. This is the culmination of a storytelling project that has never before been attempted on film, and is obviously, without question, one of the most important moments in the narrative of cinematic history. But while it is all of these things, there is one thing it won’t be and that is “The End.” Yes, while this movie does have a air of “finality” around it’s release, it will obviously not be the final movie in the MCU. Financially this is the most successful franchise in cinematic history, and there’s no way that they’re going to just call it quits after whatever happens in Endgame . (Full disclosure, I haven’t seen Endgame yet so any comments about what might happen in it are pure speculation) While Endgame might have some moments letting us know what will happen in Phase 4 and beyond, there is still ...

Ant-Man Post Credit Scene Explained (or at least discussed)

It's becoming more and more common now to not have just one, but two different credit scenes, on in the middle of the credits, and one at the very end. So lets take a look at both of the scenes.

End Scene #1: The mid credit scene is of Hank Pym telling his daughter that he's finally ready for her to take more of an active roll in their field work. Then he reveals a Wasp suit and we end with Hope saying "About damn time." Its fairly straightforward here, and it seems clear that Hope will be suiting up to fight alongside Scott in future Ant-Man movies if there are any (which there probably will be). It's interesting to note however, that in the comics, Janet is the character who usually portrays the Wasp. As...

Extended Ramblings About The Age of Ultron Pt. 1

Note: This is not a review of Age of Ultron. Not Really. If you want a review, you should go see it. It's pretty good. As good as the first one? Debatable. Very different than the first one, But it is good. What this is, is exactly what it says on the box. A collection of extended, somewhat disorganized, ramblings about Age Of Ultron. Judging by the amount of money it made over the past several days, there is a fair chance that you've seen Avengers: Age of Ultron by now. So for the purposes of this article, we're going to assume that you've seen the movie and will be dealing with a spoiler or two getting down and discussing the bulk of the movie. So consider this a spoiler warning for the remainder of the article. Spoilers Start Now! There is a general feeling when it comes to sequels, especially action and superhero sequels, that the stakes have to be raised the second time out. After all we saw our hero survive whatever threat the first movie had to offer, a...
