6 Characters I’m Waiting For in Marvel Snap
Anybody else become really addicted to Marvel Snap? I’m not one for superhero-based mobile games, because they’re usually some weird Bejeweled rip-off or something. And Marvel has a dozen or so of these games, with promise tons of unlockables and characters and blah blah blah. No thank you! But for reasons I’ve long since forgotten, I totally got into Marvel Snap and have been playing pretty much nonstop for months now. It’s a good use of my time.
Marvel Snap is a lot like those old Marvel trading cards I used to obsess over when I was a kid. I had a ton of those things! Marvel Snap is all about collecting cards of various comic book characters and then using them in battle. It’s fun, it’s quick, and there are a metric ton of comic characters to play around with. It’s not movie-based, like a lot of games are. So that’s a hoot! But as with those cards in the early 1990s, I want to see my favorites in the game. There are a whole bunch of characters who don’t have cards yet, and that’s why I’ve put this list together.
Join me after the jump for six Marvel characters I want to see as Marvel Snap cards sooner rather than later.

It’s that time of year again! The end of the year. And at the end of the year, pop culture sites across the internet come together and share their Best of the Year lists. I’m a pale imitation of those sites, but at least I can share my favorite media from throughout the year. My favorite games, shows, movies, comics and whatnot.
As always, I don’t listen to music and I don’t read books, so those won’t make for easy entries in this list. I’ve got to search for other random entries to get up to six. What will I come up with? Favorite movie trailers? Favorite LEGO sets? Hopefully something good. But at least I devoured a ton of TV shows, movies and comic books this year! So that should be fun.
Join me after the jump for a few of my favorite things from 2022! And feel free to share your own in the comments.

6 Characters Henry Cavill Could Play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The news came out last week that Henry Cavill will not return as Superman on the big screen after all. Despite being told by the studio he would. Despite being shoehorned into the post-credits scene in Black Adam. Cavill’s time as the Man of Steel is at an end. To that I say, good. Cavill was fine as Superman, but I am 110% in favor of putting an end to the DCEU and letting James Gunn take over completely.
With the Superman gig gone, and after dropping out of The Witcher, Henry Cavill is a free agent. He’s a pretty popular actor, and I’m sure he could be put to good use within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are plenty of superheroes who have yet to make their MCU debut, and there are plenty of those that Cavill could play. I’m not talking about Hyperion or Sentry, the obvious Superman knock-offs. Why are people pigeon-holing Cavill into those roles? The Marvel Universe is vast and exciting, and Cavill could be just about anyone.
Join me after the jump for six Marvel superhero roles that Henry Cavill could play in a future MCU project. And feel free to share your own suggestions in the comments below.

6 Things I Remember About the First Avatar Movie
Avatar: The Way of Water comes to theaters this week, and it’s projected to be one of the highest grossing movies of the year. And that will be pretty impressive, considering it’s been more than a decade since the first Avatar film hit theaters, and it’s not like the public has been begging for another one of these. It has always struck me as weird that the first Avatar, the highest grossing movie of all time, has had so little cultural impact.
Obviously, the first Avatar had a huge impact at the time. Everybody was talking about it, everybody went to see it, and it launched a decade+ of poorly adapted 3D films. But does anybody remember the characters? The story? We all remember those big, blue aliens, but is “Na’vi” a household word? Does this franchise have any cultural impact deeper than surface level? I have no idea. But I figured it would be fun to try and remember, off the top of my head, everything I could from that first film before I go see the second one.
Join me after the jump for everything I remember about the first Avatar film, which I’ve only seen the one time, in theaters, when it first came out in 2009. Feel free to use this as your only recap before you go see the sequel this weekend.

6 Characters Who Need to Appear in The Super Mario Bros. Movie Post-Credits Scene
The Super Mario Bros. Movie looks pretty dang cool. Chris Pratt’s voice acting aside, the size, scope and attention to detail we’ve seen in the trailers so far is pretty amazing. From King Koopa invading the icy penguin kingdom to Mario Karts riding eternal on the Rainbow Road, I am loving the approach they’re taking to this movie. They’re keeping things cartoony, while taking the lore very seriously. As the pop culture geek that I am, I like that approach.
So how far are they willing to take it?
It can be assumed that the filmmakers are hoping for a while franchise. That’s how movies work these days. And there is 40-some years of Mario Bros. mythology to draw from. We saw Yoshis, fire flowers, Donkey Kong and Mario Kart in the trailers so far, imagine what else might be hiding in the movie. Or, better yet, imagine who they’re saving for a post-credits scene? Will the movie have a post-credits scene? Obviously I have no idea. But imagine the possibilities! Imagine who they could draw from to throw into the film. Post-credits scenes are still hugely popular, and the sky is the limit for The Super Mario Bros. Movie!
Join me after the jump for six suggestions for that crucial, post-credits, sequel-teasing cameo.
