As a longtime MCU fan, I’m not alone in considering that time the highest point in the franchise’s career. Sadly, come 2023, it is clear that the studio has hit…

Halle Bailey – with her huge eyes, soaring singing voice and palpable purity of spirit – is about as naturally Disneyfied as real human beings get. So it’s ironic that her casting as the titular Ariel was ever thought controversial. Bailey is both the finished film’s only unmitigated triumph and the best argument for this whole live action remake enterprise in one shimmering mermaidcore package.

Image via Marvel Studios Recent years have seen a dip in the quality of Marvel movies, especially in CGI, from the dodgy effects of Love and Thunder to the abomination that was M.O.D.O.K. in Quantumania. But fans are looking past all of that to focus on the positive and discuss what still looks great in the MCU realm. On the Marvel Studios subreddit, one fan prompted a discussion around the CGI effects that impressed them, sharing a few examples of their own. Many chimed in with their own examples and it shows…

via Marvel Studios To offer an inkling as to just how far people will attempt to peddle an agenda against James Gunn, a behind the scenes image that featured nothing more than a t-shirt has suddenly found itself as the starting point for what might just be the most ludicrous conspiracy theory you’ll ever hear.

While a significant chunk of the audience continues to resist from watching a movie that stars a controversial star…

Despite being one of the most tortured comic book adaptations to come along in a long while, the hype train for the…
