We've previously discussed the impact of the storyline from the early 1990's where DC Comics decided to kill off Superman. But what if that iconic moment from comics history never happened? What would become of the Superman character, the comic book industry, Shaquelle O'Neil's movie career, and clickbait news articles?

Return to more classic Marvel Cinematic Universe content with the awkwardly titled "The Falcon and The Winter Solider".

Sometimes it takes a while for a movie or TV series to get a proper sequel. But what drives people to develop sequels to franchises more than 20 years after the original? Do these "decades later" sequels work to introduce a franchise and beloved characters to a new generation? Or do they fail because they left the audience waiting too long?

It's finally time to answer the age old question- what's the difference between nerds, geeks, and fans? Why do we categorize interest in certain subjects as fandom rather than being a geek or nerd?

To quote Cyborg: "I heard about you. Didn't think you were real." After years of speculation, hashtags, and a global pandemic, director Zack Snyder has released his version of the film he began working on back in 2015. 

Does the vision of original director Zack Snyder turn the much maligned Justice League movie into a masterpiece? Does the final result justify the existence of the #releasetheSnyderCut movement? Why did Joss Whedon and Warner Brothers make the decisions they made 4 years ago?

Just when you think the superhero genre has been satirized and deconstructed enough, here comes the comic book turned streaming series to prove that there is still more to be done with this concept.
