Samurai Jessie: Origins P3
They led Jessie to Damian’s place and they found that Richard had the place surrounded with his men. They were all armed with machine guns and some had grenades. Jessie was already coming up with a plan in his head, when he saw something that caught his eye. Across the street, he thought he saw a woman. Before he could see her face, she disappeared in a sort of blue haze or a mist.

Batwoman!
For many a superhero fan, there are a plethora of choices for your own personal favourite, be it The Flash, Batman, Superman, Aquaman, or anyone else from the DC/Marvel universe (not to mention other companies). As a woman, it was always going to be an easy thing to find yourself identifying on a level with the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, or even Hawk-girl. However, if you chose to identify with a secondary (no less important), female character, there were few people you could pick without bumping into a character mainly shown as a male hero's romantic interest.

Why Disney’s Acquisition of 20th Century Fox Is Great News for Marvel Fans
In December last year, Disney confirmed that they would be acquiring the majority of 20th Century Fox's assets in a deal worth $52 billion. This is good news for Marvel fans because Marvel films are distributed by Disney and 'X-Men' films are distributed by 20th Century Fox. For the first time, the Marvel comics film rights will all be under the same roof. This means that we might get X-Men and Marvel superhero crossovers. They will all share the same universe. Previously, these crossovers only happened in the comic books because Disney didn't have the rights to the 'X-Men' characters.

Does 'Batman v Superman' Make Sense?
On the outside, Batman v Superman is a complete mess from beginning to “MARTHA!” Now I’m not going to ever claim it’s a great movie; to be sure, it has its storytelling flaws and would certainly be better if some characters were moved around or replace, or you didn’t have a studio that deleted entire scenes that explained what the plot.

'Logan' Proves That Superhero Movies Have Yet to Solve Their Villain Problem
*Spoilers Ahead* Let's get one thing out of the way up front; I loved Logan. Easily the best superhero movie of the last few years, as it used its R-rating smartly to deliver what I consider to be the quintessential superhero experience. Its ability to tackle a familiar character in a new way without the restrictions of a PG-13 rating ensured that audiences would receive a genuine and authentic Wolverine-focused movie that wouldn't shy away from the hero's darker side. While 2015's Deadpool showed that adult audiences were ready to support an R-rated superhero film, its use of humor and being an easily accessible protagonist made it an easy sell to the masses. Logan doesn’t have that working in its favor, as Wolverine's character has a slightly more complicated history, as well as being a drama, which can be a hard sell for those on the fence about superhero movies. Fortunately, Logan proved that you could tell meaningful stories within the medium of superhero movies, and while I applaud it for this accomplishment, Logan shows that the medium still has to improve on core aspects of itself.

Iron Man
A lot of people know about a comic book character called Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. Ever since he kicked off the MCU in 2008, the character has kicked off with a new breath of popularity. Robert Downey Jr.’s done a brilliant job in bringing this character to life. Now. I’ve watched an in-depth analysis of Captain America’s character’s development, done by the brilliant YouTuber Tyler Mowery.

Reasons Why the Superhero Genre Is Here to Stay in Hollywood
Over the last few years, there have been opinions from respected people in Hollywood saying super hero movies are “bad content,” ruining what viewers want to see in theaters. Or running its course, similar to western movies; this comment being Spielberg’s comment. I’m here to shed some perspective on why those opinions are wrong. I have a few things I can point out. The main & probably the biggest reason I’m saying the genre is here to stay is kids. As long as there are kids there will always be marketable & profitable audience for the genre of superhero movies. For every animated/kid friendly movie there is a kid out there who dreams of being a hero & with characters like Black Panther & Wonder Woman being made into big Hollywood films, that audience keeps getting bigger & more diverse.

‘Thor:’ The Most Confused Trilogy of All Time
The 'Thor' trilogy has certainly been the most confused trilogy of all time. Why? Simple, a trilogy must have a common theme between the movies and a consistency to tell a common and greater story. Such as the 'Lord of The Rings' trilogy or 'The Dark Knight' trilogy. But 'Thor,' is very much confused with itself.

Casting Marvel's Cosmic Heavy Hitters in the Wake of the Disney/Fox Merger
Like an issue of What If...? the Marvel Cinematic Universe can now be what we fanatics have always envisioned it would be. The thin, legal force field that has prevented the X-Men from interacting with the Avengers and so many of our favorite Marvel characters appearing in the MCU has been brought down by the nigh-unstoppable entity that is Disney. Now we can finally (and realistically) begin speculation on who could/should/would play our favorite authoritative personas from the comics; namely the dynamic cosmic powerhouses that will face even greater threats that approach in the aftermath of Thanos and the Infinity War.
