The superhero genre is full of characters trying to do the right thing and play by the rules, but sometimes it’s fun to see characters whose moral compass doesn’t always point north.

Image via Marvel It comes as a surprise to absolutely no one that philanderer Tony Stark has the best pickup line in the MCU by a long shot. Ever since 2008, Stark has been a daring, dashing, and debonaire chick-magnet and it was only after his death in Avengers: Endgame that any other character even stood a chance at comparing to his straightforward advances. According to Reddit, Stark’s best pickup line occurs in Iron Man 2 (2010) when Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark unashamedly flirts with Christine Everhart,…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier — Marvel Studios' second TV series that ended its run Friday — was a high-octane offering that became too predictable at times. From the moment Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) handed over his Captain America shield to Sam Wilson/ Falcon (Anthony Mackie) at the end of Avengers: Endgame, it's been clear where the Marvel Cinematic Universe was headed. You knew that the Falcon is going to end up as the new Captain America ultimately. Spoilers ahead. Even when we got a new Cap in John Walker (Wyatt…

The MCU is famous for its emphasis (some would say over-reliance) on humor, but it’s not typically known for its edgy or near-the-knuckle comedy stylings. Outside of the Guardians of the Galaxy, anyway.

Twitter user Lance St.…

As Marvelites know, Namor the Sub-Mariner is the king of the underwater kingdom in the House of Ideas’ universe, and we’re pretty sure he’ll make his live-action debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While the studio has yet to officially confirm this, however, some brand-new merch art reveals our first look at a different Atlantean character ⁠— unveiling the merpeople’s reimagined design in the process.…

Though Kamala Khan’s powers were significantly reworked for the MCU, the latest episode of Disney Plus’ Ms. Marvel series might be setting up a reveal that connects its hero and her abilities to the original Captain Marvel of Marvel’s comic books. Kamala doesn’t initially think all that much of the vintage bangle she receives in a gift package from her grandmother Sana (Samina Ahmad) in Ms. Marvel’s first episode. But when she actually puts it on, she immediately realizes that there’s much more to the heirloom than…

While it’s true that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has used its unprecedented success to broaden its creative horizons and give the filmmakers more freedom than ever before, there are certain tropes to have been present since Iron Man launched the franchise 14 years ago that remain an integral part of the formula to this day.
