6 Thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
I was all prepared to do a review/List of Six this week on the second season of Loki. It was a good season, and despite the failure of The Marvels at the box office, I remain a diehard MCU fan. But then I watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off over the weekend and I just need to tell you about it!
TV Show Review: 10/10 – Fantastic!
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is now playing on Netflix, so go and watch it! The show is produced by original comic creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, with assistance, and it’s so damn good! I don’t want to give anything away in this opening blurb. I was always going to watch this anime, because why not? But now that I have seen it all, I’m going to sing it’s praises as much as possible, because it’s such a damn fun show! And a damn fine follow-up to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie from years ago, which I did and still do love completely. I’m not a major fan of the comics, but all the adaptations have so far been stellar!

6 Thoughts on The Marvels
The Marvels has arrived in theaters and the writing is on the wall: this one isn’t doing so hot. The critics haven’t cared for it, the box office is very disappointing and it’s not going to be a good ride, probably. But I don’t care about any of that. I very much enjoyed this film and had a good time at the theater!
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I am an unrepentant Marvel fanboy. I have enjoyed pretty much all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe output, with probably Secret Invasion being the only stinker in my opinion. I was prepared for The Marvels to live up to all of the negative hype, but it was a blast! It was funny and entertaining, and well worth a short, breezy watch. I have never missed an MCU movie in the theater and I’m not about to start anytime soon.

6 Things I Want to See in a Spider-Man Video Game Threequel
I beat and platinumed the new Spider-Man 2 video game this past week and had a total blast. I’ve been playing Spider-Man games since I was a wee lad, and this new series has seen some of the best ever. Swinging around the city, fighting bad guys, getting some great Spider-Man stories, has all been a true video game achievement. And I’m looking forward to many more to come!
Game Rating: 9/10 – Great!
There are going to be more games. The three so far have been super successful and super popular, and Spider-Man is on a role in the larger pop culture universe. Marvel and Sony need to keep striking while the iron is hot, so I expected more games. I don’t know if we’ll get another interlude like the Miles Morales game, or if we’ll go straight to Spider-Man 3, or if there will be any DLC for Spider-Man 2. But I know there will be a threequel, and I have demands, hopes and dreams for what I want to see in that game!
Join me after the jump for all the characters, concepts and stuff I want to see in the Spider-Man video game threequel. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the full game. And feel free to share your own game wants in the comments below.

6 Costumes I Want in the New Spider-Man Games
I am currently swinging my way through the new Spider-Man 2 video game on Playstation 5, having a grand old time fighting bad guys, thwipping webs and fighting Venoms. When I beat the game, I’ll do a round-up List of Six (maybe next week?), but today I wanted to touch upon a specific aspect of the game series: the costumes! I love alternate costumes, even if I don’t use them very often, and even after three games in this series, there are more I want to see.
I’m a sucker for maintaining story accurate costumes in these games. No matter how well these alternate costumes are incorporated into the animation and gameplay, I’m still usually wearing Peter or Miles’s game canon costume for the story missions. I can’t help myself. But I’ve loved having the alternate costume option since all the way back to the Spider-Man Playstation 1 games. Spidey has so many costumes, it’s a hoot to have them available. And I definitely indulge when it comes to side quests or mini-games, or just swinging around the city in new duds.
So when we get some DLC or even Spider-Man 3 or Spider-Man: Miles Morales 2, these are the costumes I still want to see in this game series.

Taylor Swift is the most popular celebrity in the world right now and everyone is trying their damndest to capitalize on her popularity — especially when it comes to her dating relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Man oh man, the NFL is going all-in on Taylor/Travis hype, hoping to ride those coattails as far as they can.
So why shouldn’t I get a piece of that pie?
I don’t watch NFL games and I don’t have any interest in Taylor Swift’s music or celebrity, but I’ve got a blog to run here and I’ve got an SEO to chase! So how about a List of Six that involves Taylor Swift in some way? Like…who she’s dating…and…which superheroes she should date! BAM! I’m a marketing genius!
Though make no mistake, this list is not a criticism of Taylor Swift. I sat through The Eras Tour movie and her music isn’t for me, but I don’t have anything against her as a person. She seems really cool, actually. I’m totally in favor of her re-recording all her old music out of spite. That was cool as heck. This is just a silly comic book listicle I’m throwing together because I think it’s funny to chase this madness!
So join me after the jump for six comic book superheroes that Taylor Swift could/should date in the comics to give superhero comics more publicity!
