9 Ultimate Moments in Justice League that were a Joy to watch

Image
"Oh, how the mighty have fallen" Well, who would have thought that Justice League, DC comic's answer to the Avengers will make less money than the universally beloved Wonder Woman standalone movie. To my infinite disappointment it is the ugly truth. Now that even the most loyal DC fans are turning on the studio, directors, writers, and each other, what is being lost is an ultimately flawed but enjoyable movie that is Justice League. Between being directed by Zack Snyder & Joss Whedon, and made by a studio devoid of confidence in the product, Justice League finds itself in shambles, after two weekends it is about to make 500 million dollars worldwide, but that number is nowhere near what everyone would have expected and ultimately Justice League will be the highest grossing box office disaster till date.  Leaving the bad box office, messy story, & messier mustaches aside, ever so hopeful that WB & DC will rise above this I have made this list to re...

Justice League Movie Review: Joy Ride (Spolier free)

Image
Now for a spoiler free review: Justice League is a fun movie that does all of it's members Justice. While the Superman's mustache CGI looks ugly, you can get over it. Movie doesn't have any mind blowing plot twist or heavy character moments in general but it is a fast paced ride filled with joy and hope unlike BvS. There are quite a few funny moments and action is on point. Whenever I get out of a movie without ever being bothered to look at my phone once, it generally counts as a win for me. Here Batman is the badass we know and love, Wonder Woman is as graceful and charming as she has been in her previous two appearances in the DCEU, out of the new entrants I expected Jason Mamoa's Aquaman to shine the brightest but Erza Miller's Flash is the breakout star for me. He was super funny but due to the ever so present slo-mo action that has been a staple in DCEU, Superman is the one that gets the best slow motion moment rather than the Scarlet Speedster. Talking ...

Opinion: How to make shit hit the fan?

I don't know much about politics, current events, economy, or most of the stuff happening around me in general. I don't know who is the president of India at the moment but I know who is the president of DC Comics: Diane Nelson, Real Madrid: Florentino Perez,Warner Brothers: Kevin Tsujihara, Sony: Kazuo Hirai, etc. That is because I don't care much for the politicians, economy, & most of the stuff happening around me, but I do like to know about the people making the things that I enjoy happen. Last night maybe the only friend that I have who genuinely cares about what is happening with people around us, & the country in general asked me this question:  "How can he get his voice heard? How can he reach a wide audience?" The thing is that he is not the most popular guy, he doesn't have a reach on the social media, he is not a very good looking guy, he is not even a funny guy, so what is he? he is just a normal guy like me. So the problem is th...

5 Versions of Thor other than Marvel's Thor

Image
At present when we speak of Thor, Marvel's pretty boy superhero Thor generally comes to mind. Well that is kind of natural as due to the huge popularity and presence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe they have kind of made the Norse God their own property. People often forget or don't know to begin with that Thor is originally a Mythical character present in the Norse Mythology. In the Norse Folklore just like the MCU he is the God of Thunder, wields a hammer-Mjolinir, is son of Odin, as well as Step brother of Mr. Mischief-Loki. Unlike the MCU he is not a Superhero who teams up with Ironman & Co. He is a a God that holds a great place in the Norse Mythology. Also he is a red head! Since he is a part of Myths that have been in existence for centuries, Marvel cannot claim to own the character & for this reason he has been able to be part of all of the pop culture. Thor has been present in Video Games, TV shows, & even Anime in versions other than the one that is ...
