“We just launched Marvel: Avengers Alliance on Facebook; which is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the first in a much larger effort to support the Avengers franchise across not just one but multiple video game touch points. The Avengers are bigger than just one game, and we’re planning to allow consumers to enjoy The Avengers regardless of their preference in gameplay style or platform. Look for more announcements in the weeks to co
Alfred Molina’s portrayal in Spider-Man 2 immortalized the villain’s tragedy on the big screen. Molina’s Doctor Octopus starts out as a hero and a mentor to Peter Parker, loses control and becomes a full-fledged villain, and ultimately achieves a final act of redemption by sacrificing himself to undo his own catastrophic experiment. Marvel Zombies: Red Band ‘s Doc Ock might need to do something similar to save the Avengers from Zombie Phoe
Long before antiheroes were fashionable, this quote turned trauma into strength. It’s playful, biting, and tragically human – a declaration of self-worth hidden behind a mask and claws . Few superhero lines have captured vengeance, gender politics, and liberation quite as sharply as this
If you don’t keep up with comics, let me keep this brief. The Human Torch is dead, The Fantastic Four are changing their name to “The FF” and Spider-Man is joining their ranks. He’s also rocking this new suit that I personally think is pretty sweet.
A dark version of Sam Raimi’s **Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 strategy|https://spiderman2mix.com/ 2 ** takes place in a different universe. Often regarded as the definitive Marvel movie and one of the best superhero movies in history, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 placed Doctor Octopus as a top-tier supervillain. Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock wanted to push the boundaries of science, only to be turned into a monster by his own creati
OK, so just a few minutes ago Twitter literally exploded with news of a major financial announcement: according to The Associated Press, The Walt Disney Co. will acquire Marvel Entertainment Inc., for $4 billion in cash and st
Technically none of these characters is Spider-Man; at least not anymore. But during the Identity Crisis mini-series, Spider-Man took up each of these four suits as he was accused of murder with a bounty on his head. Wearing his Spidey suit was out, so he tried each of these out. Each one got discarded and eventually made it into the hands of four teenagers who were inspired by him. The series didn’t do very well, but I kind of liked it.
For years, on both Game Rant and Screen Rant, we’ve suffered through the awkward video game-film relationship. The sad reality, as we so often repeat, is that movies based on video games and video game movie tie-ins all suck, with the rare exception here and th
A cosmetics industry employee is murdered after discovering a dangerous secret about an anti-ageing product. However, an Egyptian cat saves her, giving her the power of speed and the senses of an agile fel
This is an interesting version in that the title gives away the entire alternate reality’s premise. It’s Marvel heroes, if they were apes. It’s surprisingly pretty decent, and in this version Spider-Man is now Spider-Monkey. Not surprisingly, he’s a spider monkey.
We can thank Sega for the awful, poorly made, over-priced, unfair-to-fans-and-the-industry games including The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America: Super Soldier and Thor: God of Thunder . The Thor game was so bad it made us angry that it was even m
It’s a moment of pure dominance and psychological menace . It perfectly encapsulates his worldview. He warns his fellow inmates that justice isn’t bound by walls, and fear is the only law that truly rules in his prese
Spider-Girl is Spider-Man’s daughter May, all grown up! She originated in a “What If” comic, and then went on to receive her own book which became the longest running female-superhero book ever published by Marvel. This all takes place in an alternate look at the future where Peter has retired and May has taken up his mantle.
X-Men: The Last Stand is the third film in the X-Men series, featuring the conflict between mutants over a newly discovered cure for mutations. The film showcases the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, opposing the Brotherhood, led by Magneto, as tensions escalate within the mutant commun
Critics slammed its generic plot and awkward dialogue. Audiences were also baffled by its nonsensical post-credits scenes teasing a nonexistent crossover. Morbius had a fascinating premise – a man attempting to cure his illness is transformed into a vampiric mons
Clearly, this time would have been better spent developing the core characters and plot . Many expected edgy fun and instead got a confused, sanitized product. Even Warner Bros. later acknowledged its issues by rebooting it with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad – a clear do-over for wasted potent
We previously reported in September 2011 that the license for the characters had reverted back to Marvel – hence, no more Sega – and that they were looking for publishing opportunities from other potential partners. With Jefferson hinting at incoming announcements, perhaps they found some
