Do we need to know Marvel?




So Marvel I love you, you always do a good job with Superheroes. OK maybe your villains are a bit well meh, sorry but besides Loki who else stands out as a great villain? But everything else has been great. Well mostly everything. Can you do me a little favour though, can you start phase three before you announce phase four? 

I understand your announcing new movies for phase three, the addition of Ant-Man and The Wasp is great, even if it does sound like a weird 70's cop show. I'm also on board even if it means three marvel movies a year until 2019, even if it does mean that alongside DC and Sony movies I'm going to be living in my local cinema for the next few years. Even bringing Black Panther and Captain Marvel forward is great, more great superheroes to add to the never ending mix. 

But to announce three untitled movies for phase four before we even know what they are, is just too much. Wait until the last year of phase three for new information. Why are you trying to get us all excited about untitled projects? I don't need to be thinking about movies that I will probably be going to see in five years time. Can you imagine Marvel announcing phase three before phase two had even started? 

Is anyone starting to get fed up saying the word phase? Anyway Marvel, I feel like you're dictating my future movie going experiences. I know you haven't announced the phase four movies, or given any spoilers but please, stop announcing movie projects, at least give it a year. We'll all still go to see them, unless that is the superhero fatigue sets in. 

I'm getting fatigued just now thinking about it! Is it too earlier for phase four speculation? Are you excited? Which Marvel superhero would you like to see get its own movie? 

I'd like to see a Rogue movie, yes I know it's Sony but if they could pull a Quicksilver then they can pull a Rogue. She deserves it, and is my favourite ever superhero.

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...

                                                                             [Courtesy of Marvel/ABC] So this week's Agents of Shield episode was a pretty jammed packed affair, from the origins of Lash to the slight hope we may actually get to see a romance (it's far off in the distance). So here is my top five moments in order, and don't worry if I missed your best bits, honorable mentions shall be at the bottom. If you aren't caught up with the show then look away now as I will be mentioning  SPOILERS! 5. Hope                                                                              ...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Frozen

I did say last week that I was taken time off to grieve but after watching Frozen at the weekend I couldn't help but look at it from a Mental Illness perspective. I took this as a sign that I was ready to continue writing this series. Is Elsa a metaphor for Anxiety? The disorder that keeps me up at night seems to be prevalent in this film, even Grand Pabbie says it to a young Elsa at the start of the film, "Fear will be your enemy," and we see Elsa lash out at her coronation celebration. The fear she has inside her makes Elsa's powers go haywire, she fears her secret will be revealed to others around her, just as I feel people will find out I have anxiety just by being around me. But fear is not the solution, it ends up hurting the people Elsa loves the most, as she lashes out and pushes them away. She becomes so scared of hurting others that she ends up hurting them. Then when her powers get out of control she runs away and hides inside her own Ice Palac...
