How Captain America: Civil War Should Have Ended
This one is actually pretty good.
Funny, insightful, well-acted and animated, and with some legit new endings. Hats off to the HISHE people, they did a quality job on this one. And with a quality movie, too. So far, Captain America: Civil War is the film of the summer.

6 Other 90s Kids Show That Deserve a Movie Adaptation
There’s going to be a Power Rangers movie, you guys! Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers was the show of shows when I was a kid in the 90s! I watched it every day after school. I still consider the Green Ranger one of the greatest heroes of all time. And I have nothing but fond memories of Zordon, the Black Ranger, Lord Zedd and all the rest of those multi-colored knuckleheads. I don’t know if this movie is going to be any good, but my fuzzy memories will never die.
I recall the costumes being plainer
This Power Rangers movie has also got me thinking: have we finally moved on to adapting 90s kids’ shows into live action, realistic movies? Are the 80s already tapped out? We’ve had movies for the Transformers, G.I. Joe, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jem, and I know a new He-Man movie is in the works. The 80s have given us many good to blah movie franchises, but their well of quality kids’ shows is not infinite. Is it time to move on to the 90s?
Good thing I watched kids’ shows back then too, and I’ve got some solid suggestions for Hollywood!
And Now My Watch Begins…
The Game of Thrones finale aired last night, but I won’t get to watch it until I get off work today. The Internet is filled with spoilers, like a dangerous trip north of the Wall. Somehow, some way, I must traverse my day without visiting any spoilery websites. I don’t know how well I’ll do…
But for now, enjoy this mash-up between Game of Thrones and How to Train Your Dragon!
Darth Blender is the excellent video editor behind this beauty. And I think it makes for a solid, enjoyable Monday.

Justice League Logos for Everyone!
Today was apparently a big day for executive meetings I don’t get invited to attend. Justice League is the talk of the town, with the official movie logo and first synopsis revealed!
Looks fine.
And the synopsis seems pretty standard, too.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Sounds all manner of reasonable, I’d say.
Though now we know that that the villain of the first Justice League movie will be Steppenwolf, which is…insane. But hey, maybe somebody knows what they’re doing. Maybe we don’t need Darkseid.
You can head over to Comics Alliance to see a full rundown of all the news that has come out about the Justice League and DC movies. There’s a ton of it, and I suppose it could be cool.

6 Classic Warcraft Characters They Should Add to the (Hopefully Inevitable) Sequel
For reasons that still befuddle me, the producers of the Warcraft movie decided to adapt the original video game storyline from the 90s. Even though Warcraft became a household name with the World of Warcraft MMORPG in the 00s, they turned back the clock to focus on the origin story of the world. I supposed it makes some kind of sense, but it leaves out all of the most popular characters and stories.
We’ll have to wait until the threequel or fivequel before we see the likes of Thrall, Illidan, the Lich King or Chen Stormstout!
Blizzard should still consider releasing animated movies
But that’s not to say the early days of Warcraft don’t have fun and exciting characters. And being the super lore nerd that I am, I’ve decided to put them in a list. Last week, I wrote about Warcraft concepts and characters I hope to see someday down the line, later in the franchise. That was before I saw the actual movie. Now that I’ve put in the time in theaters, and now that I see them sticking pretty close to the early stories, I’ve got a few more specific ideas in mind.
If Warcraft 2 sticks with that earlier timeline, who are some classic Warcraft characters they should add? You won’t find too many of them in World of Warcraft, but back in the day, they were our champions!
Except FULL SPOILERS for the new movie after the jump.
