Deadpool 2 Promotional Material In the wake of Avengers: Infinity War it seems that we have been forgetting something as of late.  Something that blew us away a couple of years ago in February and we haven't really been the same since.  Something...or someone rather, who for some reason loves the velvety touch of red spandex on his scar-riddled skin.  Yes my friends today we will be talking about Deadpool 2, the film that is at risk of being an afterthought of Avengers: Infinity War.  I, for one, am still extremely excited to see this film and have high expectations for what it can bring to the table in order to build upon what it did the first time around.  So let's take a look shall we? It's Going to Be Better Deadpool in Deadpool 2 The trouble with a lot of sequels is trying to encapsulate the charm and appeal that the first one brought to audiences.  This is especially true when the sequels acquire a different director than their predeces...

Avengers: Infinity War Promotional Material I've been a Marvel fan almost my entire life.  Played the video games, collected the comic books, watched the movies, and I thought I would be completely prepared for Marvel's newest addition to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - Avengers: Infinity War because of this dedicated background. I. WAS. WRONG! Avengers: Infinity War shocked me and shook me to my emotional core upon watching it the first time.  Despite having read the Infinity War comic arc, I was completely in awe watching what the Russo brothers pulled off for their biggest outing yet.  Not only did it satisfy the Marvel fan in me, but it completely blew my mind in regards to the cinematic aspects myself.  My college major was digital film making, and during my studies I became familiar with every aspect of the film making industry.  With all of this combined knowledge, I knew I was going to go into Avengers: Infinity War with a smile on my face,...

So as we all know, 2017 is set to be the year of the Spider, as Spider-Man: Homecoming is slated to hit theaters this summer, and as the third installment of the web-slinger is longing to outdo his 2 predecessors, Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire, there are some things that we can definitely see put into play during his first standalone film to possibly make that dream a reality. 1. Building On Captain America: Civil War So as we could plainly see during the events of Captain America: Civil War, the wall-crawler is back and better than ever.  As soon as he made his onscreen debut, Tom Holland's Spider-Man began his wisecracking and joking that made the original comic book Spider-Man so beloved by fans, thus bringing an element from the original conception to his incarnation of the Spider that had somehow managed to fall through the cracks in the last two incarnations.  One thing that we can expect for his solo film, is that this incarnation of Spider-Man is definitely g...

So it's no news to anyone that the comic book anti-hero Deadpool's popularity has skyrocketed in the past couple of years seemingly out of nowhere, and with good reason.  He is definitely my all-time favorite comic book character due his unique nature, set of powers, and personality.  In this article, I'll be discussing the history, lore and background of Deadpool, as well as the hype behind him and what to probably expect from his upcoming film.  All of these topics will be headlined, so if you already know the majority of the background, you can just skip that part and go straight into my opinions on what to expect from the film. Sound good? History of Deadpool So the history behind Deadpool is somewhat jaded.  The most accepted truth is that Deadpool's real name is Wade Winston Wilson, but he is also called Wade T. Wilson, Jack, and has been accused of actually stealing the identity of Wade Wilson by his enemy, Wade Wilson in one comic book issue. Loki cla...
