Our RSS Feed- Captain Marvel Review: 1.5 Stars Out of 51. I think the kindest way to interpret Captain Marvel is as a much worse version of Guardians of the Galaxy. But everything that Guardians of the Galaxy relied on (a charismatic lead, excellent support characters, emotional variety, humor, dialog and suspense) is noticeably below average for Captain Marvel. E.g. Rocket is a huge upgrade […]
- Spider-Man: Far From Home Review (1 star out of 5)1. My main knock against the series is that this version of Spider-Man is a useless toolbox who actively avoids doing interesting things, and what he does attempt is usually wimpy and/or incompetent. 2. Unlike most main characters, his choices don’t really matter much. For example, he chooses to leave his supersuit at home (but […]

- Letters from DeadpoolHey DeadPool, You are a funny guy. How did you become a super hero? What do you do when you’re not doing anything? Do you like being a superhero? Why do you wear a mask? Why do you wear red and white? Are you Canadian? Getting superpowers is sort of a long story. Some people […]
- Preliminary review of Dr. StrangeI feel like a marketing executive put a gun to the screenwriter’s head and said “I don’t CARE what the movie is about, put New York City, London, and Hong Kong in it. Just do that thing where the villain is trying to collect plot coupons around the world in places that happen to be […]
- Calling All Supervillain StoriesDen Warren, (K-Tron, Metahuman Wars) is issuing a call for 3k-5k word submissions for a superhero prose fiction anthology titled, The Supreme Archvillain Election. Each submission will be a supervillain sitting at a huge table explaining why they should be voted as the Supreme Archvillain, then they go into a story, etc. Reprint excerpts and […]
- Man of Steel Review1. This movie is about as bad as Catwoman but, in Catwoman’s defense, it had okay action scenes. 2. Man of Steel particularly struggled with family dialogue. E.g. Clark’s Kryptonian parents take 3 minutes to describe their plan to send him to Earth and say their goodbyes. It’s pretty bland stuff, e.g. melodramatic intonations like […]
- Captain Marvel Review: 1.5 Stars Out of 5
This is part of my story of a kid with demonic powers so what do you think
The jeep speed off, the body of the deceased woman slowly washed away by the heavy rain getting rid all of the evidence. “I’m going to be rescue soon, you know” Trevor said, the man who was sitting on the passenger seat turned around and said “what are you talking about kid, it’s over no one knows you exist anymore”. For a moment Trevor thought about what the man said, what did he mean no one knows he exists? Maybe the dreams were not real but all Trevor dreams were real, Trevor dreamed one day his mum was going to die but he didn’t when, that is why he couldn’t save his mum. Maybe he was going to be rescued but not now, maybe years to come.
Trevor was starting to lose all hope when the jeep suddenly stopped; the back door of jeep suddenly opened a hand reached out grabbed Trevor “your coming with us right now”. Trevor panicked his chest tightened he couldn’t breathe properly, his head was spinning he couldn’t think straight when he saw what grabbed him, it was his dead mum how can he mistaken the woman looked exactly like his mum. “What are you doing, leave him he is our package “shouted the man. “The boss is going to kill us if lose this kid” said the woman who was in the driving seat, “we are not losing the kid I think it’s time we transform” said the man. Then he and his female partner got out of the jeep, the colour of their skin turned red, a long tail with fur at the end grew from their back side, horns also grew on top of their heads, pointy ears also grew and finally sharp long teeth had appeared. “I think we are ready” said the female and both let out this terrible screeching sound, Trevor quickly covered his ears afraid he might go deaf.
Cool. There are a few punctuation issues, commas where there should be full stops. but otherwise it looks good, although I might suggest giving the man and woman names or at least recognitions [eg. flannel jacket, trucker hat, gold earrings etc.] to tell the various characters apart.
