6 Thoughts on Black Adam (Review)
The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe has never been more in flux. At long last, the Black Adam movie is upon us. We’ve been waiting for this film ever since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was first cast in the role in 2007. We’ve been waiting for this film since the DCEU sorta fell apart after Justice League. Is Black Adam the savior that this cinematic universe has been waiting for?
Probably not, but it was an alright flick.
Movie Rating: 7/10 – Good
I’ll admit that I probably went into Black Adam a little biased. Not against the character or DC, because I’m a comic book fan who loves all this stuff. But The Rock’s constant hyping of this movie, coupled with DCEU fanboys desperate for a hit, really started rubbing me the wrong way. This isn’t the second coming of superhero movies, and I doubt it’s going to really change the shape of DC movies going forward. I think it was just an enjoyable superhero film.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of Black Adam. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments down below.

The Marvel movie machine continues to roll along, much to all our enjoyment. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is due out in a couple of weeks, so we’ve got the first trailer for the next movie after that, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I love all of these things, and I love this trailer.
Looks great! We got Ant-Man, we got the Wasp, it definitely looks like Cassie Lang is going to suit up in this one. And Jonathan Majors as Kang is really cool. I look forward to him being a huge menace. If I’m being entirely honest, I’m not yet sold on the Quantum Realm being so identical to the worlds of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but we’ll see how that turn sout.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arrives in theaters on Feb. 17, which is closer than you think.

Trigun Remake Coming Next Year
I don’t watch much anime. Just never got into it, though I’m sure I’d love most things if I watched them. One classic anime that I watched in its entirety and enjoyed was Trigun. And everybody loved it so much that it’s getting a modern remake!
Looks pretty fun. All the classic characters are there. The animation looks modern and sleek. Oh what a world we live in where this sort of thing happens. At least it’s not a live action adaptation on Netflix.
Trigun Stampede comes out sometime next year.

Comic Reviews: GCPD: The Blue Wall #1, Nightwing #97 and X-Men #16.
Read the rest of this entryCreed III Looks Neat
I didn’t even know they were making another Creed movie. I liked the first two, so I guess why not make a third? And this one is going to be directed by Michael B. Jordan, so that’s fun for him. And it stars a badass Jonathan Majors, so perhaps we’ll get a glimpse of what his Kang the Conqueror will be like?
I dunno. It just looks…like not much? Like just another episode of the Creed TV show. It goes this whole trailer setting up this rivalry between the two characters, and how much you want to bet that rivalry ends with a boxing match? So be it.
Besides, nobody is old enough yet to come back and make the Drago movie series. Gotta wait until Jordan is an old man so that he can come back and mentor Ivan Drago’s grandson. Then the circle will be complete.
