Speaking of Movie Superheroes, Here’s Captain Marvel!
The first official look at Captain Marvel has arrived, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly! And actor Brie Larson looks pretty darn awesome on the magazine cover!

I like the look! Captain Marvel looks great! The EW article talks about the plot of the movie, with Carol Danvers fighting aliens both in space and back on Earth. Nick Fury and Coulson will guest star, and I’m kind of excited for more Ronan the Accuser. I think it’d be neat to see him doing something else beyond his psychotic zealot role in the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here’s a link to a couple of official pictures from the film, showing off the Skrulls and a couple more surprise characters! At least one surprise character, for sure.
Hooray, Captain Marvel!

6 Movie Superheroes I Like Better Than Their Comic Versions
I love comic books. I love superhero movies. These things are known and they shouldn’t be very surprising, considering how long I’ve been churning away at this comic book blog with little to no return! Where’s my fame, huh? Why is nobody nominating me for a Bloggie award?
Ahem, anyway, the idea popped into my head the other day that there are a couple of characters where I prefer the movie version to the comic book version.
Not movie accurate
Seems like a pretty simple idea. I’m a big comic book geek who loves some of the most obscure characters. It’s a little embarrassing when somebody who knows I loves comics asks who my favorite superhero is, and I have to honestly reply “Multiple Man”, and then explain who that even is. Thankfully, we’ve got great superhero movies now, and I can name some of these popular movie versions!
No, Thomas Jane, It’s The Predator
My article headline will make more sense once you watch this new trailer for The Predator. It’s a pretty gnarly trailer.
I’m definitely going to go see this movie. I’m not a big Predator fan, and I think I’ve only ever seen the original, and that was only in the past 10 years or so. I didn’t watch a lot of movies in the 80s, but am more than making up for that now.
See, dad? If you’d let me go to the movie theater when I was a kid to actually see these classics, maybe I wouldn’t see so many movies now that I’m an adult! Just like with video games…

Venom + Flubber = Internet Comedy
This was a funny video I stumbled upon the other day, and I’d say it’s worth all of the chuckles. Just all of them. Built by the Nerdist. Stay all the way until the end, where it really comes together.
Good old Internet. When it comes to weird comedy, you almost never let me down!
Still no telling how the Venom movie is going to be…

How About Some Avengers Stuff?
Avengers: Infinity War came out on DVD this week, so of course the internet was awash in Avengers-related videos and articles and whatnot. That’s how the internet works nowadays. And if I had any skill whatsoever, I would have done something too, instead of randomly talking about Venom instead.
But speaking of Avengers: Infinity War, how about an Honest Trailer?
Gotta love those things! They’re the bread and butter of the internet.
But how about I do you one better and deliver an 8-bit recreation of the Avengers vs. Thanos fight!
That was put together by those fine folks at Mr. Sunday Movies, a favorite vlogger of mine.
Gotta love all this neat Avengers stuff! Good way to kill some minutes in the day!
