If We’re Going to Have Spider-Man Again, Let It Be Miles Morales
Peter Parker has had his chance on the big screen, and he’s done an amazing job. But when Spider-Man debuts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year, it should be Miles Morales behind the webs.
It’s time to try something new with Spider-Man, and this deal between Marvel Studios and SONY is the perfect opportunity to make the change. Granted, I don’t necessarily think this has a chance of happening, but the only way it will happen is if enough voices cry out for Miles.
You’re goddamned right!
In the end, SONY still has creative control over Spider-Man going forward, and they don’t care about how innovative and forward-thinking Miles would be for the movies. All SONY cares about is money, and keeping the straight, white guy in the lead guarantees more money than the black, Hispanic youngster. That’s just how the world works…or at least that’s how they think it works.
But man, how cool would it be to get Miles Morales on the big screen?
Join me after the jump to find out why!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/14/15
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Or at the very least, I hope your Friday the 13th yesterday wasn’t so bad. We’re all about love here at Henchman-4-Hire, especially a love for all things comics.
So it’s really kind of terrible that a comic I once loved, Secret Six, is now breaking my heart. I know other reviewers are enjoying the new Secret Six, but I am awash with horror. It’s like seeing the ex you still have feelings for turn into a meth addict. So it’s a good thing I’ve got Darth Vader, Boba Fett and an evil wookiee to keep me happy!
The sensational character find of 2015!
His name is Black Krrsantan and he’s now in the running for my favorite New Expanded Universe Star Wars character. I just keep falling more and more in love with him. And Darth Vader #1 has a lot more than just an evil wookiee to make it Comic Book of the Week.
You can also check out my review of Thor #5 over at Word of the Nerd!

How X-Men: Days of Future Past Should Have Ended…
Man, they switched over to the Batman/Superman diner stuff pretty quickly, but at least they went back to the actual movie this time. And those were definitely some better ways that X-Men: Days of Future Past should have ended. I bet there’s a very vocal section of their fanbase that just demand more Batman/Superman diner scenes.

Professor Snape is More Tragic Than We Ever Realized
This video was originally posted more than a year ago, but it’s only now making waves on the Internet. I watched it the other day and it brought tears to my eyes, so I definitely wanted to share it with the rest of you. Surely a bunch of you are Harry Potter fans, right? This video is all of the important Professor Snape scenes in chronological order, set to some moody music, detailing the life and tragedy that was Severus Snape.
All credit goes to Youtuber kcawesome13, who has quickly become an Internet sensation for this video. It’s just so haunting and brilliant.
Also, major shout out to my dad, who loved the Harry Potter books just as much as the rest of us and turned me on to the secret that Snape was actually a good guy long before he ‘killed’ Dumbledore. That guy’s theories really made me think.
