SHOOTER SERIES EPISODE 3 REVIEW AND QUESTIONS?!!

Image
What an explosive episode! Yes, that pun was shamelessly intended. Judge me. I don't care. I'm too stoked about all the progress made in Shooter Season 1 Episode 3! I was hesitant about how the series would play out, especially after Shooter Season 1 Episode 1, but I'm so glad that my reservations about it have all but dissipated. The series is every bit the fun, suspense, and action that I thought it would be! Now that we're three episodes in, a flow has developed and all the characters are finding their bearings with their select roles. Bob Lee is the beasty badass on a mission; an unstoppable force that will give everyone and everything a real hard time. He's a little OTT at times, but after a bit of a wobbly start, Ryan Phillipe is starting to don his role. And I'm loving it!! Julie is the strong support system, holding her own, smart, savvy, and not one to be underestimated. I really respect that,  I'm invested in the Swagger family

WHAT IT WOULD COST TO POWER THE DEATHSTAR!!

Image
Creating something as powerfully destructive as the Death Star takes one thing above all: a ridonculous amount of money. As if building the iconic weapons wasn't a cash draining enterprise in and of itself, keeping the lights on is a feat that surpasses nailing an exhaust port with a torpedo, while using the Force. Destroying a Death Star is fairly easy, but paying $7.74 OCTILLION just to make it work day by day is extremely difficult. Ovo Energy crunched the numbers, and came to the conclusion that the $7.74 octillion cost for operating the Death Star would be around what's required to feed, quarter and launder all stormtroopers on board. On top of that, the cost factors in the usage/recharging of the Death Star's powerful planet destroying laser canon, as well as jumping into hyperspace - because having that much firepower and that many grunts aboard a craft that can't move or shoot is utterly useless. Seriously that money though I can't begin to fathom

WESTWORLD: MY THEORY AND INFO!!

Image
Where to begin with the smash hit American tv series Westworld so far WOW, should we start with the twisted dark passenger the man in black or the Very smart manipulative Maeve or the lost Dolores. All three of these characters have made this show what it is, an epic thunderclust of awesomeness. If anyone had the privilege of seeing  Michael Chrichton's 1973 movie of the same name then you roughly know the jist of it, even still it is so confusing for anyone to follow. The three character's I mentioned before are my favourites but there are so many other top class actors playing so many mind boggling characters with some crazy agendas including Dr Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright), Teddy Flood (James Marsden). Such a brilliant cast!! Ok so now I'm going to move on to sharing my theory with you guys but remember it's my theory not fact so... FORD’S GRAND, FINAL NARRATIVE HAS BEEN ENGINEERING THE ENTIRE PLOT OF THE FIRST SEASON:

DOCTOR STRANGE JUST MADE A NEW RECORD BEATING IRON MAN!!

Image
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in a bit of a transitional period. As we start diving deeper into Phase Three which is so.bloody exciting, we'll be introduced to a sh** ton of new characters, in addition to old standards like Thor and Captain America. As certain actors' contracts come to a close which is sad to see but must happen in order to move forward, we will see which heroes remain at the forefront of the MCU, and which are slowly faded away. While some may have been worried that audiences won't want to explore new origin stories (The boring ones), it's now clear that the fanbase is willing to come in droves as the MCU expands. Case in point:  Doctor Strange , which has now just surpassed  Iron Man  at the box office. Doctor Strange  has now grossed a WHOPPING $616 million globally, making it the most successful single-character movie in the hole of the fricking  Marvel Cinematic Universe, (But we e xpect nothing less from Benny) Per   Deadline ,   Iron

ITS A CW CROSSOVER INVASION!! MEET THE ALIEN DOMINATORS ATTACKING OUR SUPERHEROES!!

Image
The CW's superheroes—The Flash, Green Arrow, the Legends of Tomorrow and the rest of the crime-fighting residents of Star and Central Cities—have fought off many a Big Bad from their Earth (and Earth-2). But this time, the threat is extraterrestrial—which is why they call in their friend Supergirl to help in 2016's big DC TV crossover event. In the end of the  Supergirl  fall finale, we saw Barry ( Grant Gustin ) and Cisco ( Carlos Valdes ) visit Kara ( Melissa Benoist ) to request her assistance in battling their latest threat—which, as we'll learn in tomorrow's episode of  The Flash , is alien in nature. What better way to fight off aliens than to enlist your own? The villains are an alien race called the Dominators, and they'll wind up on Earth (well, Earth-1) because of something to do with the metahumans. The storyline is based on the DC Comics crossover  Invasion , and executive producer  Marc Guggenheim  says the idea for this year's event

MY TOP 5 SUPERHERO MOVIES OF 2017 AND RELEASE DATES

Image
Here's a few superhero films and release dates we have to look forward to in 2017. Let's start with Logan.. After years of scheming, dreaming, and hoping,  Logan  is going to deliver on a long awaited dream that Wolverine fans have had for some time: Logan's gonna get R-rated on some villainous ass. Unfortunately, it comes at a cost, as it's the last  X-Men film that will feature Hugh Jackman in the titular role, with Patrick Stewart keeping him company as Professor X. Still, if a poignant and gritty superhero film is the one to close out their tenure in Fox's Marvel Universe, then you can't blame them for saving the (potential) best for last. Release Date: 03/03/17 Po wer Rangers While not a traditional superhero project, Saban's  Power Rangers  are in fact super-powered heroes. So, by technicality, they belong on this list. While faithful fans of the 90's incarnation of the project may blanch at the prospect of a more modern reboot, it

JUSTICE LEAGUE PLOT REVEALED PLUS RELEASED DATE AND GREEN LANTERN SHOULD BE JOING THE GROUP

Image
The movie "Justice League" is one of the most anticipated films of next year and has all reason to be. They are the greatest beacon of hope in the DC Extended Universe. Finally, the seven amazing superheroes will be assembled to form the justice league and face one of the greatest threats to the human race. The story starts with Batman, because of his restored faith in humanity and moved by the great selfless act of Superman, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) pursued the aid of Diane Prince (Gal Gadot). The two superheroes, Batman and Wonder Woman, joined forces in the quest to find and recruit powered allies. The Bat and the Amazon Princess worked swiftly in the search for the right metahumans to stand against and face the newly stirred threat and foe. Bruce approached the the beast that is Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) known as Aquaman and the young geeky legend Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) as  The Flash , to be part of the team later known as the "Justice League".

FLASH STAR READY TO BAIL DCEU FOR THE MCU

Image
These days the only actors working are the ones who are currently making comic book properties, and the ones who aren't doing it yet. However, nobody has really crossed over from one big brand to the other. One actor is ready to be the first. Robbie Amell, who played the original Firestorm on CW's  The Flash  says he'd be more than happy to work within the MCU if given the chance. No, I have no loyalties. They've killed me a couple of times, and I'll always gladly go back. But, at the same time, I'm a huge fan of Marvel movies. I like what they're doing. It has less to do with it being Marvel or DC and more just being a character that I'm interested in and speaks to me. To be fair, Robbie Amell laughed when making the comment about having no loyalties. It doesn't appear his comments to   Comicbook.com   come from any actual animosity from the fact that he's been killed off on   The Flash . Rather, he's just making the point

WHO NEW MUTANTS COULD BE FACING IN UPCOMING MOVIE

Image
The New Mutants are an unproven property. Though Fox has cranked out numerous different X-Men movies (and Wolverine spinoffs), the young mutants from Marvel's stable of superheroes haven't had a shot at big-screen success just yet. But they'll get their chance soon enough, and a source might have just revealed who the team could possibly fight. ComingSoon is reporting that the villain Demon Bear will be the main antagonist in Josh Boone's planned series launcher, though the movie doesn't yet have its own confirmed release date but all things in due time. If you didn't read the  New Mutants  comics, you might not know that Demon Bear made its debut in New Mutants #3 (released in May 1983), and as you might expect from the name, it's a giant aweome bear creature who derives the majority of its power from negative energies(And there's always a lot of that about). In the comics, he looks like this... The Demon Bear has possessed vario

Image
Last month, it was announced that the  Sherlock  Season 4 premiere  will kick off the New Year on Sunday, January 1, airing on the BBC for fans in the U.K. and on PBS for U.S. viewers. With fans including me and someone I know well  chomping at the bit for these episodes to finally arrive, the BBC has unveiled photos from this upcoming season of  Sherlock , which gives us our first look at John Watson's (Martin Freeman) cute little baby, and the new awesome looking villain, Culverton Jones, played by Toby Jones who I rate highly from the likes of Captain America 1&2 and Tinker tailor spy. It's possible that these new photos could pave the way for a trailer to arrive soon, which I'm hoping and praying for it But  unfortunately it has yet to be confirmed. Toby Jones will star in the second episode of the brand new three-part season as Culverton Jones. This character was featured in the Arthur Conan Doyle story "The Adventure Of The Dying Detective."
