One of my first memories as a child being introduced to comic books was a figure with a fiery skull and a motorcycle on fire. It was so different and scary and it grabbed my attention. I wanted to know more about Ghost Rider. I bought the Marvel character cards at the comic book shop just to have his card. And then I dove into the comics. I always leaned into horror when it comes to comics, novels, movies — you get the picture. They scared me, but I just kept coming back.

Marvel Studios went through a gradual shift from character arcs to spectacle. What started as tongue-in-cheek jokes about secrets became a legitimate obsession. Their focus became wanting to surprise audiences.

Admittedly, I was a little worried about the third Deadpool film. I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the story, or how it brought Hugh Jackman back to the role of Wolverine. Logan was an incredible sendoff and goodbye to Jackman’s 20-plus year portrayal of the character. Turns out I was pretty wrong being concerned.
Supernatural is approaching its actual swan song with the series finale not far away — well, sort of. It isn’t actually filmed yet because of obvious reasons. But filming is recently underway to finish off the finale seasons. After that, God’s favorite brothers are finally reaching the end of their road.
Marvel is allegedly going to try to bring Ghost Rider to life for the third time. The first was two films starring Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze, who becomes Ghost Rider. The second was actor Gabriel Luna as the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider on Agents of SHIELD. And really, both actors were good as both version of Ghost Rider.
It feels like the final season of Agents of SHIELD is fast approaching, and so far from what we’ve seen, it’ll be a fun but bittersweet final season.
What’s that? You wanted to see the trailer? Just look above!
I’ll admit. I had zero interest when Venom came out in theaters. It looked ridiculous. Plus, how can there be an Eddie Brock without a Peter Parker out-photographing him? Or a Venom without a symbiote that is hellbent on revenge against Spider-Man for being rejected?
I eventually gave in and watched the movie and I was more than pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it a lot. Tom Hardy made a very interesting and weird Eddie Brock, and his Venom felt like a teenage oddball. It was fun.
It’s no secret that Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD is one my favorite television shows. The cast has great chemistry together, and the writing is fantastic. The story arcs never meander and the character development feels organic and always moving forward.
