Defenders vs Arrowverse Croosover Episodes

Marvel Defenders vs DC Comics Arrowverse – Who Does Crossovers Better?

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers compare two different crossover events in the comic book world. They will be discussing Netflix’s take on Marvel with The Defenders, vs. The CW’s take on DC with The Arrowverse.

Although DC has typically had a reputation for being more dark and serious, while Marvel was always less so, Netflix and CW seem to have reversed this. It is easy to see that Netflix’s The Defenders is very dark and serious, while The CW’s Arrowverse is much more campy, and less serious. The brothers also explore how the different characters of each show come together to fight crime. They examine if the connections are realistic and if the relationships are complex enough to be believable. The Defenders centers around only four shows- Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, while the Arrowverse incorporates many, many more shows and characters, including Arrow, Flash, Vixen, Constantine and Supergirl.

Listen in to hear which crossover was more successful in Joe and Dan’s opinions. See if the brothers agree or disagree with each other, and weigh in on where you stand! After watching, let Joe and Dan know what you think. Leave your comments, questions, and opinions, and as always tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10.

Marvel Top 5 End Credit Scenes

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers list their top five favorite end credit scenes found in Marvel movies. Joe and Dan explain how these scenes give the viewers a private look into the future of Marvel movies. These brief minutes allow Marvel lovers an inside look into where the characters’ stories will take the world.

At the number five spot is the scene found at the end of X-Men Days of Future Past. This scene shows EN Sabah Nur controlling the ancient Egyptian pyramids as the four horsemen of the apocalypse ride into view. This is a chilling cinematic moment, as it not only sets the scene for the next X-Men movie, but it also allows viewers to infer how long these super-humans have been present in the world.

Coming in at number four is the Ferris Bueller scene at the end of the first Deadpool movie. The brothers acknowledge that of all the choices on their list, this is the only one that does not further the movie’s plot line. However they feel that it pokes fun at pop culture, and the Marvel’s world, and sets the characters up for the sequel that was to come.

Third place on the list is reserved for the scene following Avenger’s Age of Ultron. In this clip, viewers see Thanos putting on the gauntlet for the first time. For any real comic lovers in the world, this is an extremely impactful moment. Those who are familiar with the older comics know that this certainly shifts the Marvel’s universe forever, as Thanos makes the decision to work independently. As can be seen in the most recent Avenger’s movie, Infinity War, Thanos’ decision in that moment changes everything.

At second place, the Kane brothers have selected the Shwarma scene following the first Avengers movie. The Avengers are sitting around a table eating after a huge battle. No one says a word, but the viewers are able to see these god-like characters with humanistic qualities for a change. They appear hungry and exhausted, and it really hits home with those who watch it. Also, there is something interesting about one of the characters, as he is the only one who is not eating. Make sure to watch this episode to find out why, and let the brothers know if you have ever noticed this fact before.

Lastly, in first place is the Avenger’s Initiative scene at the end of Iron Man. During this scene Nick Fury tells Tony Stark that he is not the only one out there. Although this seems like such a simple moment, it is really the beginning of the Avenger’s existence. This single moment set up the Marvel’s film industry and is continuing to impact the Avengers’ fate over a decade later.

Do you feel there are any more credit scenes that should have made the list? After watching, let the Kane brothers know where your opinions vary, or have similarities. Let them know your comments, questions, and opinions, and as always, tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10!

Casting the Next Fantastic 4 Movie

Who Would You Cast in The Fantastic Four?

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers give their casting selections for a future Fantastic Four movie. As real comic fans know, there have been versions of Fantastic Four movies that unfortunately fell short.

Joe and Dan believe they have casting ideas that along with the right script would make the next Fantastic Four movie highly successful. Starting with Mr. Fantastic, the brothers selected actor John Krasinski, who has displayed his playful side on The Office, along with his more serious acting abilities in his recent film A Quiet Place.

Next up would be Bryce Dallas Howard, who is well known from her recent movie Jurassic World. The brothers point out her ability to show both confidence and quirkiness simultaneously, and how her strengths and vulnerabilities would lend themselves well to the part of Susan Storm. The role of Johnny Storm would be ideal for an actor like Zac Efron because in the brothers’ opinions because he is both a pretty boy and a tough enough actor to handle the role.

Next up, the brothers discuss Live Schreiber as The Thing. They believe he would be a good fit because he has been successful in the past at playing the big, tough guy, and his menacing voice would be ideal for the part. Lastly, the boys’ pick for Doctor Doom goes to Jon Hamm from Mad Men, as he can speak intelligently and portray someone with a lot of class, while still being capable of having a darkside.

Would you like to see a new version of the Fantastic Fours? If so, who would your choices be? Do you agree or disagree with the Kane brothers’ selection? Let them know in the comments section after watching. As always, be sure to tune in next time to Comic Movie-10 for all things comic related!

How Will The Avengers Bring Back Their Fallen Heroes?

In this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers divulge their personal theories on how to bring back the fan favorite heroes who were eliminated by Thanos during the recent Avengers Infinity War.

The brothers explain details about the six stones found on Thanos’ gauntlet and what each stands for. They then explain how these stones relate to their theories about how characters may return to the Avengers’ universe. The first theory revolves around Nebula and how old comics indicate she is the only character capable of removing the gauntlet from Thanos’ hand. The theory is that Nebula would then be able to reverse Thanos’ snap that eliminated multiple characters.

The second theory is perhaps the most simplistic, in that it would simply be rewinding time to undo Thanos’ act through the use of the time stone. The third theory would use the reality stone under the assumption that the characters that were killed exist in a separate reality, and perhaps the two realities could collide.

The last theory uses the soul stone. The idea would be that Thanos went into the realm of the soul stone, as it is capable of pulling people in. This would have happened at the moment Thanos wanted to sacrifice Gamora’s life for the soul stone. Ultimately, the soul stone would be showing Thanos the outcome of his actions if he were to follow through with his plan. In this sense, Thanos would have learned a lesson from the soul stone as he was stuck inside of it.

How Will Black Lightning Fit Into the Arrowverse?

How Will Black Lightning Fit Into the Arrowverse?

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers delve into the world of Black Lightning with the intension of understanding how this phenomenal show may tie into the Arrowverse. Black Lightning and his alter ego Jefferson Pierce is played by actor Cress Williams.

Although Pierce gave up being the superhero, when the drug Green Light began destroying his neighborhood, Black Lightning decided to return to his job of protecting the community. Similarly to his night job, Pierce attempts to save the neighborhood during the day as the principal of the local high school. The show is very compelling and shows the constant fight between Black Lightning and the antagonist, Tobias Whale. Whale uses the people of the community for experimentation without regard to the side affects. In this sense, Tobias Whale serves as a foil for Black Lightning’s character.

The Kane brothers dive deep into theories surrounding how this show, which is rougher around the edges than the Arrowverse shows, might fit into the same world. The most basic connection revolves around the fact that similarly to other shows, Black Lightning has metahumans. This might imply that some of the Arrowverse shows could possibly be set in the same universe as Black Lightning. There is also the fact that Pierce’s youngest daughter made comments to her mother after learning of her own super powers. These comments alluded to the fact that people in Black Lightning’s life are aware of both Vixen and Supergirl’s existence.

DC Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Finale

DC Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Finale

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers will discuss the season three finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, titled “The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly”. The boys explain how the beginning of the finale was extremely emotional as Rip Hunter’s character sacrifices himself for the others, so they would be able to escape to salvation. Upon doing this however, they run into many of the villains they have fought throughout the season, which obviously causes conflicts for them. It is not until Sara’s character cracks a joke that the tone of the finale causes viewers to feel the more comical mood expected from Legends of Tomorrow.

 

The topic of Damien Darhk is also discussed. Joe and Dan explain how his path over the last few episodes has allowed viewers to see Darhk in a different light, and many of the people watching from home actually feel empathy toward his character. They discuss how his character’s choices in the finale will potentially impact the series moving forward into the fourth season.

Another character that is a major focal point of the finale is Beebo, and the brothers tackle their emotions regarding the choice to bring this character into the show, especially considering Beebo is not an original character from the comics. Lastly, Joe and Dan share their opinions on Constantine officially joining the cast as a regular character and how he has been able to stay true to himself, even in the silly world of Legends.

Let the brothers know your own thoughts on the season finale. After watching, decide if you agree or disagree with the information they have shared. Leave your comments, questions, and opinions below, and be sure to tune in next time to see the latest episode of Comic Movie-10!

Why Was Wonder Woman A Hit

Why Was The Wonder Woman Movie A Hit?

This episode of Comic Movie-10 addresses the latest interpretation of Wonder Woman. In 2017, the movie Wonder Woman was released, and although fans of the DC Universe had seen Gal Gadot’s cameo in Batman vs. Superman, the world was really unsure what this new movie would be about.

Much to DC fans’ pleasure, Dot proved herself to be an incredible leading lady. What is even more impressive is that the movie is full of female power, as a female directs it, and the story line circulates entirely around a female in the leading role as a superhero. The Kane brothers agree that the writing and delivery of the story are incredible, and the information presented is historically accurate and interesting. The movie displays high action and intense, real emotion. Joe and Dan explain how this film has really surpassed many of the other DC movies and they speculate on why that might be. They also address how much money the film brought in, and compare that to other DC movies.
