As we’ve discussed before, when brands pay for product placement in a movie or TV show they will usually micromanage the shit out of every moment it’s on-screen to ensure it’s never portrayed in a remotely negative way. Lamborghini apparently don’t give one wheezing protein fart about that sort of thing since they had no qualms about […]

Warner Bros famously spent literally millions of dollars trying to CGI a moustache off of Henry Cavill’s face for Justice League only to ended up making the Man of Tomorrow look like his face was melting in every other scene. A fact that is kind of hilarious considering Warner Bros openly admitted it would have been easier to […]

Considering that the first Iron Man movie effectively launched the most successful series of films in human history, you’d think Marvel would have spent so much time polishing the script it could be seen from fucking orbit. However, according to Jeff Bridges, the whole film was a rushed mess he can’t believe actually ended up being a […]

With the odd rare exception, most superheroes will try to differentiate themselves from their superhero alter ego when they’re not in costume. Batman pretends to be a lazy playboy, Superman assumes the identity of a clumsy dumbass and the Flash is always late. Yes, the fastest man on Earth throws people off of his scent […]

Frieza is arguably the best known villain of the Dragon Ball series, an impressive feat considering he looks and acts like a dildo. According to Frieza’s creator, Akira Toriyama, the diminutive villain was partially inspired by two seemingly contrasting things, monsters and dipshits in suits. In interviews about the chracter, Toriyama has stated that Frieza’s various […]

With the Marvel universe there exist a hierarchy or sorts ranking various heroes against one another in terms of their ability to detonate human skulls with their mind or suplex large trucks.

Scoring a Batman movie is tough because no matter how much effort you put into creating a memorable, unique soundtrack, it’s never going to be as good as the theme from the 60’s era Adam West show. That said, Hans Zimmer sure as shit tried to cram in as many Easter eggs as he could […]

When it comes to technically impressive movies, they don’t come more technical or impressive than The Incredibles, we mean, come on, it’s got the word “incredible” right there in it.

Daredevil is a Marvel street-level hero once described by Captain America as “a blind guy with the superpower to see”. When it came to portraying him on screen, Charlie Cox decided to go the Daniel Day-Lewis route and literally blinded himself with special contact lenses.

David Bowie was a powerful man who very possibly had magical powers. In recognition of this and his ginormous music-penis, writer Neil Gaiman saw to it that the Thin White Duke would live on forever as one of the most powerful characters in DC Comics canon. That character is Lucifer Morningstar, a character roughly analogous […]

Superman is a character defined by the fact he is, for all intents and purposes, a God in human form. For this exact reason the first actor to play Superman didn’t think the Man of Tomorrow from the comics could be translated to the big screen, something D.C. Comics disagreed with when they saw his […]

Thor: Ragnarok was a film applauded by many critics for it’s refreshingly jovial tone and the fact that, unlike a lot of superhero movies, didn’t take itself all that seriously. A fact director Taika Waititi can take much of the credit for. Weirdly though Waititi only managed to score the gig by impressing Marvel executives with […]

Venom is a Marvel villain and occasional anti-hero defined by his unending obsession with bonding, both metaphorically and literally, with everyone’s favourite friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

When you’re bestowed with the power of ancient turbo-leopard and have access to the collective resources of an entire fucking country, there’s not much you can’t do.

Few moments in the Batman mythos are treated with as much derision and disdain by fans as that one time in the 1960’s TV show Adam West Batman fends off an angry about-to-explode shark with a can of shark repellent spray.
