We've already written about a video that breaks down a ton of Deadpool Easter eggs, but if you're the type of fan who loved the Deadpool movie, you're probably also the type who wants to see multiple videos about Easter eggs and compare them to make sure you have absolutely every single piece of trivia ready to impress your comic-loving friends next time you get together. Dorkly's responsible for this latest video, which just dropped a few hours ago.

Deadpool hits Blu-ray and DVD this coming Tuesday.


Yo Mama: The Surprising Connection Between CIVIL WAR and BATMAN V SUPERMAN

0
0

This piece contains spoilers for both Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Mother’s Day is this weekend, so it seems fitting that two of the year’s most anticipated superhero movies — one which hit theaters today, only two days before the holiday — would involve mothers in important ways.

We all know how this went down in Batman v Superman — at this point, it’s been memed to death — but here’s a quick recap in case you need a refresher. After squaring off in the streets of Gotham City, Batman gets the best of Superman and stands over him, arms raised, about to plunge a Kryptonite spear into his chest. It’s only when Superman mentions the name “Martha,” which happens to be the name shared by both of the heroes’ mothers, that Batman realizes there’s some humanity to this god-like man after all, so he stays his murderous hand.

In Civil War, however, the mention of Tony Stark’s mother is actually what incites violence, not what quells it. Iron Man and Captain America spend the movie at ideological odds with one another, but near the end of the film, Tony finally realizes Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) has been framed for crimes he didn’t commit and forms a truce with Steve Rodgers. The three find themselves deep in a Russian bunker with the villain, Zemo, who openly states that he wants to tear the group apart from the inside out. He shows them a video from 1991. It’s footage of Tony’s parents’ deaths at the hands of Bucky, and when Tony predictably loses his cool, Steve tries to explain that Bucky was brainwashed at the time. “I don’t care,” Tony says, “he killed my mom.” And the fight begins again.

Pop culture is littered with stories about fathers and sons (an episode of Lost was even titled “All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues”), and the Marvel and DC universes are no exception. Clark Kent famously leaves his father to die in a tornado in Man of Steel, Thor and Loki have power struggles with Odin in the Thor movies, Gamora and Nebula have their own problems with Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, and there are dueling father stories in Ant-Man as both Hank Pym and Scott Lang fight to remain in their daughters’ lives. Tony Stark has it perhaps worst of all, though, having to deal with living up to Howard’s impressive legacy, physically battling surrogate father figure Obadiah Stane in the first Iron Man movie, and experiencing the other side of the equation in Age of Ultron when his own “child” turns against him.

When it comes to mentions of mothers in these franchises, though, the list of examples grows smaller. Clark turns to Martha Kent for support after his father is gone, Thor and Loki both seem to have decent relationships with Frigga, and Peter Quill’s connection to his mom is an important part of Guardians, but that’s essentially all that’s to be found in the MCU and DCEU…so far, anyway. (We know Wonder Woman will interact with her mother in the upcoming solo film next year.)

I won’t attempt to ascribe any larger thematic significance here, or make any sweeping generalization about how the way the opposing reactions to mothers in these movies is somehow representative of their respective cinematic universes as a whole. I just thought it was a fascinating coincidence, and thus far the dearth of maternal association on the big screen makes it especially interesting that two films which share so many surface similarities (blockbusters in which major superheroes fight each other, featuring multiple heroes, loosely based on comics, touching on themes of security and freedom, released only weeks apart, etc.) would also both spotlight key moments involving characters’ moms.

The Evolution of Captain America’s Costume in Comics and Film - Infographic

0

I’ve got an infographic here for all you Captain America fans that shows us the evolution of Cap's costume over the past 75 years in comics and film. The graphic comes from Halloweencostumes.com and it’s cool to see all of the different designs the character has had over the years.

Captain America has worn an incredible number of costumes since the character debuted 75 years ago. These costumes typically alternated between patriotic suits and more modern military uniforms, with some notable exceptions. Of course, his appearance was ultimately in the hands of the artists and writers who worked on the Captain America and The Avengers comic book titles, often for extended periods of time. These included Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema, and Mark Gruenwald, among others. In this infographic, we show how Captain America’s costume has evolved in comics, television, and film. We primarily consider the main universe or continuity, though we do briefly look at The Ultimates alternate universe because of its influences on later appearances.

Video Essay Explores How Long Marvel Films Will Continue to Go On

0
0

Marvel Studios has started quite a powerful trend in the entertainment industry and all the other studios with comic book properties are trying to emulate what Marvel has created. How long will Marvel be able to keep this up, though? There’s going to come a point where actors won’t renew their contracts and something is going to have to happen to those characters if those actors aren’t replaced.

Marvel Comics has been telling the stories of these characters since the 1940s. They’ve also rebooted their comic properties as well. The fact of the matter is Marvel has a ton of stories that they can tell and you never know, there could come a point where the studio reboots the MCU. Regardless of how things turn out, I personally don’t think Marvel will ever stop making movies.

Screen Rant has released a video essay called “Will The Marvel Universe Go On Forever?” and it explores what the future of Marvel might hold. The video comes with the following note:

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last eight years, you’ve probably noticed a certain trend in superhero movies: the shared universe. While superhero films used to be treated as independent series that would reset after two or three movies, they now build on top of each other to create an almost overwhelming amount of shared continuity. Case in point: the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, which functions as a follow up to Captain America: Winter Soldier, an action-packed reunion of the Avengers: Age of Ultron cast and an introduction to both Black Panther as well as a new iteration of Spider Man!
But how long can this go on? Hollywood’s obsession with fan approval shows that one day a series that seems to be riding strong (Amazing Spider Man, for instance), can bottom out within 9 months of the latest films release. Steven Spielberg has even gone on record saying the superhero film will soon go “the way of the western” and fall out of popularity in mainstream Hollywood.
Is the father of American Blockbuster Cinema on to something? Around 30 characters have already enjoyed multiple appearances across the Marvel films so far, and a library of characters in Marvel Comics continuity that number in the thousands, most of whom can appear and cross over between a number of films and TV series. With a potentially infinite number of combinations, will this cinematic universe collapse under its own weight? Or will the Marvel Cinematic Universe go on FOREVER?

Medieval Armored Fight Club is Freakin’ Hardcore and Here’s a Short Doc on It

medieval-armored-combat-league-is-freakin-hardcore-and-heres-a-short-doc-on-it

I had no idea that the Armored Combat League existed until I came across this short documentary Harlem Knight Fight. It centers around a man named Damion DiGrazia, the captain of the New York chapter of the league. 

It’s basically a medieval-inspired fight club in which people dress up in their real metal suits armor and beat the living shit out of each other! This is no joke. These guys are serious and it’s MMA fighting with the contestants wearing heavy-ass armor. 

The doc shows off footage of what these fights look like and they are freakin’ intense! A lot of these contestants get seriously injured and I’m surprised no one has died in combat yet. These guys aren’t wielding foam weapons, they are metal axes, swords, and various other things and they are hitting each other freakin' hard!

The doc also tells the story of how DiGrazia, who is a Harvard and Columbia graduate, got into the sport. This is incredibly fascinating and it’s a doc you’ve gotta watch! Here’s the synopsis:

For Damion DiGrazia, joining the Air Force, graduating from Harvard and Columbia and putting together a lucrative career as a management consultant at a top investment bank in Manhattan wasn’t enough. He had one more, slightly less conventional item for the bucket list. When this Sunday school teacher isn’t spreading the Good Word, he prefers a metal fist to the teeth. DiGrazia is the captain of the New York chapter of the Armored Combat League — a sort of medieval fight club whose members smash the hell out of each other while dressed like attendees of the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. “This is a sport that requires passion,” he explains. “Because there’s no responsible way to do it.” We met with Damion at his East Harlem training studio and followed his team to their regional matchup with New England.

The Jokers Pay Tribute to Prince in “Partyman” Fan Art

the-jokers-pay-tribute-to-prince-in-partyman-fan-art

Marco D’Alfonso has created a glorious piece of fan art that features all of the film versions of The Joker paying tribute to Prince. The piece was created for last week’s The Line it is Drawn challenge at CBR.

They asked artists to mash comic characters with Prince, to “illustrate his song lyrics with comic book characters, have comic book characters appear in Prince music videos, Prince album covers, comic book characters as Prince movie characters, whatever strikes your fancy!”

If you couldn’t already tell, the art was inspired by the classic 1989 Batman scene in which The Joker goes to the Gotham Museum to "lighten the mood." I included that scene below for you to watch, which included the Prince song "Partyman."

Square Enix Unveils BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT Nightwing Action Figure

Square Enix has revealed their latest addition to the Batman: Arkham Knight Play Arts Kai action figure line. Nightwing finally gets his own figure and as you might expect from the toy line, it looks incredibly cool. Here’s the description of the figure from Entertainment Earth:

Armed with his acrobatic abilities, Nightwing fights against formidable villains. The Batman Arkham Knight Nightwing Play Arts Kai Action Figure features a meticulous attention to the fine details of his armored suit to render his nimble yet strong physique. The paintwork places heavy emphasis on the texture of each material, from the complexities of the various fabrics to the life-like skin tone. Nightwing comes equipped with his gadgets, including his Escrima Sticks, which can be stowed away on his back using an adapter piece. This figure also has a very wide range of mobility in order to recreate Nightwing’s flashier action poses. The metallic, almost iridescent accent colors in his chest and shoulders shimmer brightly, as if to show off his distinctive identity. The Batman Arkham Knight Nightwing Play Arts Kai Action Figure measures approximately 10 1/2-inches tall x 4 1/8-inches wide x 2 1/3-inches long, includes display stand and is packaged in a window box.

It’s currently available for pre-order for $129.99, so if you want one click here.

We’ve got a bunch of X-Men: Apocalypse goodies for you to check out today. We've got a great clip from the film that features a cage match fight between Angel and Nightcrawler. We have 28 photos that include some old and new visuals of several characters in the movie, such as Jean Grey, Storm, Mystique, Beast, Cyclops, Professor X, Angel, Quicksilver, Psylocke, Magneto, Apocalypse, and more that seems to be set in Egypt. I also included four featurettes that focus on Storm, Angel, Psylocke, and Magneto. Then there’s three promo pieces of '80s-inspired mutant video game art. You can check it all out below!

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

The movie hits theaters on May 27th.

Samurai Armor Inspired By THE LEGEND OF ZELDA and Sanada Yukimura

One of our readers sent in these photos of a couple awesome pieces of samurai armor. One was obviously inspired by Link from The Legend of Zelda and the other was inspired by ancient samurai warrior Sanada Yukimura. It was created by Etsy seller CoffeeCosplay and as you can see it looks pretty damn cool.

As of right now the armor is available in three sizes, but there is an option to have it custom-sized — it will just take two weeks to do. This is what the creator had to say about the armor:

The entire suit of armor is made with 5/16 inch thick thick EVA foam. The armor can be dissembled for storage purposes—the Haidate and Sode can be adjusted for proper fitting as well.
I started this project after a custom order of my Yukimura Samurai Armor (another listing) and fell in love with the color scheme of Satin Green, Pure Gold, and Navy Blue. When I assembled the entire suit I realized it looked a lot like Link. Hence, I present a Triforce inspired armor. The triforce print can placed to your liking. My next project will be his gauntlets. Stay tune for more and please share if you like my work. 

I also included photos of the Sanada Yukimura Cosplay armor set below. Yukimura was a real life Japanese samurai warrior hero. He is also known as “a Hero who may appear once in a hundred years", "Crimson Demon of War" and "The Last Sengoku Hero." If you want to order one for yourself, click here.

IT FOLLOWS Director to Direct Andrew Garfield in Los Angeles Noir Crime Thriller

0
0

The director of the indie horror film It Follows, David Robert Mitchell, has set up his next film project called Under The Silver Lake. Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield is set to star in the movie, which is described as a modern noir crime thriller that’s set in Los Angeles. There are no other details on the film other than that. 

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Mitchell’s It Follows. It was an extremely cool concept, but I thought it was poorly executed. Especially the second half of the movie. There’s a huge fan base out there that loved it, though, and that’s cool! It was Mitchell’s first major feature film and I’m sure he learned a lot from it. He'll be able to take what he learned from it to this next film production.

I’m a fan of noir films and Garfield is a solid actor, so I’m definitely interested in seeing what this actually entails and how it turns out.

10 Difficult Actors Nobody Wants to Work With

We’ve all heard stories about actors who are difficult to work with but the studio will keep on casting them because a lot of them are big names and great actors audiences want to see. They just have to put up with these actors while they are making the movie.

ScreenRant has released a video that breakdown ten actors who are reportedly hard to work with and they offer an explanation of why for each one. Some of the actors on the list include Christian Bale, Harrison Ford, Russell Crowe, Shia LaBeouf, January Jones, Katherine Heigl, and Jared Leto

It’s said that actors are a fickle, sensitive bunch. Some with varying levels of devotion to their craft. Because they’re constantly trying on new personalities, it’s not unusual for the person underneath to get a little weird over time. ether it’s because of method acting, self-righteousness, or just plain old bad manners, here are Screen Rant’s 10 Actors No One Wants to Work With.

Simon West Set to Direct Fantasy-Action Movie WAR WOLF

0
0

Action director Simon West (Con Air, Expendables 2, Tomb Raider) has signed on to helm a fantasy-action movie called War Wolf. This sounds like it has potential to be not only a great film but an awesome fantasy franchise. 

War Wolf is set in 1356, after decades of war between the French and English armies, with English soldier Earl Hugo awarded the castle of his enemy, the French assassin Mauchet. But in the walls of the castle and the lands that surround it, someone has reawakened the Loup de Guerre, the ferocious War Wolf of French legend and the nightmarish creature is now on a killing spree.

Variety reports that this is the first in a planned series of films that will center around the magical world of the Loup de Guerre.

There are going to be a lot of special effects makeup and costuming that need to be created for the projects, and the studio has hired Dave Elsey and Lou Elsey, co-founders of the Igor Studios, to develop those. They have previously worked on films such as Mission: Impossible, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and Wolves

Fortitude Intl. is backing the project and this is what its co-founder Nadine de Barros had to say:

“The popularity of the fantasy genre around the globe continues to grow and the fierce world of ‘War Wolf’ is an electric story. Under the masterful direction of Simon West and the brilliant team of Dave and Lou Elsey behind the special effects makeup, this film is going to blow people away with both the look of this fantastical world and the intense storytelling.”

Like always, I'm sure Simon West is going to give us something that's going to be wonderfully entertaining. 

(The image above has nothing to do with the movie, it's just a cool image that popped up when I searched for "War Wolf.")
