The central question for this episode of Comic Movie-10 is whether or not Daredevil writer Erik Oleson will be true to his word and deviate from the storyline of the comic book or will there be elements of the Miller/Mazzucchelli story arch? Joe and Dan make some observations based on the 1986 Daredevil Reborn Again comic book.

Daredevil Reborn Again Comic

They discuss the fact that the specifics leading up to what would be Reborn Again appeared at the end of Defenders. They describe the camera shot of Matt Murdock in bed, bandaged torso, and being nursed back to health, pointing out that it is the exact, classic panel from the Miller/Mazzucchelli comic Reborn Again. Other Frank Miller stories have used the exact panels from the comics. So, while this might tinker with the timeline its not all that strange. In fact, the appearance of the panel in Defenders might simply pay homage to the 1986 comic book.

Daredevil Season 2 Recap

Dan explains that the character of Karen Page is central to the development of the story. As has already occurred in Daredevil Season 2, she left Nelson and Murdock to pursue an acting career. Ending up in Mexico, she becomes heroine addicted and a porn-star. In order to obtain drug money she reveals that Matt Murdock is Daredevil. This information eventually finds its way to Kingpin, who proceeds to make life hell for Murdock.

Kingpin freezes his assets, and has him disbarred. Murdock becomes homeless, is beaten half to death and thrown in the East River. He makes his way to Hell’s Kitchen where he is nursed back to health by a nun who is none other than his mother. Dan and Joe appreciate the character of Karen Page as she lends a dark dimension to the show, of the pure character, corrupted by the events as they unfold.

Daredevil Season 3 Release Date

The reason Oleson gives for departing with the storyline of the comic book is so that he can give a greater development to the characters. Joe questions why it is not possible to do that while following the events as they occur in the comic book.

Returning to the show as Kingpin will be Vincent D’Onofrio, with a larger role. Daredevil Season 3 will be released October 19th, on Netflix.

Joe and Dan want to know what you think. Will Murdock’s mother be in the show? Will Oleson actually stick more closely to the comic book arc than he has claimed he would do? Leave your comments, questions, and opinions. As always, tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10!

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers explore how connected the Marvel universe really is in the aftermath of Thanos’ snap. They begin by explaining how so much of the MCU is intertwined and connected, but how this does not seem to be the case in terms of the Marvel shows popping up on Netflix.

Overall, it is clear that Thanos’ snap does not impact the Marvel Netflix world in the way it shakes up the big screen Marvel characters. In addition to seeing the initial downfall of many characters in Infinity War, the more recent Ant Man sequel uses its credit scene to connect the film’s characters to the snap.

Joe and Dan explain that there have only been two Marvel Netflix shows that have had seasons released after Infinity War, which might explain the lack of connection between the Netflix characters, and the earth shattering event that took place thanks to Thanos. The two shows that have premiered are S.H.I.E.L.D. season five and the second season of Luke Cage. While S.H.I.E.L.D. did make mention of an attack in New York that can be connected to the snap, it does not allow viewers to experience the immense impact that was felt in Marvel’s cinematic world. It is also worth mentioning that there are zero connections in Luke Cage season two to the events that transpired in Infinity War, although there have been general references to the Avengers throughout the series, which indicates that they do know of each others’ existence.

The Kane brothers end this episode by pointing out that the time lines of each story are important to consider, as it must be figured out when the events of each situation have taken place in regard to the other stories in the MCU. They also pose the question of who is responsible for connecting each story and do the writers, directors, and producers across the board have to ask permission from each other. Season two of Iron Fist is the next Marvel Netflix show to come out with an expected release date in September. Joe and Dan are waiting eagerly to see if there will be any connections to Thanos’ snap and if so, how the connections will be carried out.

This episode of Comic Movie-10 explores Joe and Dan’s selections for the top five worst superhero movies of all time. In addition to their top five, they include honorable mention of the following movies, Superman IV, Steel, Green Lantern, both Ghost Rider movies, Spiderman III, and Batman Forever. If you thought those movies were bad, just wait until you hear their top five!

Coming in at number five is Superman III. The reason behind this selection is that the brothers feel the first two Superman movies were incredibly well done, while the third was disappointing. It not only lacked a storyline, but also had a likeable villain, who was not well fleshed out as a character.

At number four on the list, the brothers have placed the 2003 film, The Hulk, staring Eric Bana. It was such a bad movie that Dan points out that it took him multiple attempts to even finish the film. This is a difficult feet for comic lovers, as Joe explains that most superhero fans really try to stick through the rough movies, clinging to the positives. Only a few years later, the Hulk franchise was completely rebooted, considering the 2003 version was such a failure.

Third on the list is Catwoman, staring Halle Berry. While she is an amazing actress, who looked incredible in her suit, the film was cheesy with no solid direction. The brothers point out that the dialogue was corny, and the story felt as though the plot never picked up.

The brothers have placed Daredevil at the second spot on the list. Their reasoning for this is the lack luster of each character. They mention a scene where it appears that Daredevil and Elektra are battling each other at a playground for no apparent reason. The movies absence of a storyline, along with its boring villain, Bullseye, played by Colin Farrell, helped to create one of the worst superhero movies of all time.

And finally, number one on the list, the worst superhero movie of all time is Batman and Robin. Although the casting of this film would appear to have all of the makings for an incredible movie, that was certainly not the case. The brothers point out how Joel Schumacher’s involvement in the movie as director simply fell short after the direction of Tim Burton during the first two movies of the franchise. In addition, many of the characters were incredibly cheesy, including Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, who is supposed to be one of the most exciting villains of all time. Overall, the story fell very short of people’s expectations.

The brothers want to know if you love any of these terrible movies, or if you feel there are other movies that should have made the list. Let them know by leaving your comments, questions, and opinions. As always, tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10!

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers discuss the end credits for the recent Marvel movie, Ant-Man and The Wasp. They start by explaining how they were both incredibly disappointed with the end credit scene. This is because it was nothing more than an enormous ant playing a drum set. This is not only, unimportant but also frustrating, as this image had previously appeared in the trailer for the movie, and was therefore nothing new.

However, Joe and Dan focus more on the mid-credit scene, which was impactful to the MCU and exciting to fans of the Marvel movies. What this scene showed was Hank Pym, his wife, and the Wasp counting down to bring Ant-Man back from the quantum realm. When they reached the number two, they evaporated into thin air, leaving Ant-Man trapped where he is. This is especially important as it relates directly to the moment in Infinity War when the Thanos snap takes place. This not only allows viewers to understand the time placement of all of the movies, but it also showed how Thanos’ actions really affected the entire universe.

In addition to how shocking this moment was for viewers, it is also a different type of credit scene as it is the first time an end credit scene shows a consequence of another action, rather than a moment leading up to future events. Joe and Dan do however acknowledge that this scene will definitely lead to other actions, especially how the 4th Avengers movie will play out. In fact, in a recent interview, Tom Holland began talking about how integral the quantum realm is and how important it will be moving forward, which was perhaps a big slip up on Holland’s part.

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers discuss the recent comments made by Ed Norton in regard to Marvel. Back in 2008, Ed Norton starred in one of the first MCU movies, The Incredible Hulk, as none other than Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the Hulk). Zak Penn wrote the script for the movie, and although Norton was initially excited to be a part of the team, his opinions quickly changed. Watch the clip at the end of this post.

Norton’s recent comments allude to the fact that he expected to have a lot of creative freedom and input when it came to the movie, however looking back, he does not believe that was the case. Norton was critical of the project, saying, “I wanted a better script.” As a result, he voiced his opinions, and became involved in the rewrite. Although he spent hours and hours of his life helping to improve the script, he was never given credit in any way for his contributions to the writing, and in fact, while they filmed many of the scenes Norton wrote, they were edited out, essentially keeping the movie the same as Penn’s original version.

Since Norton’s disappointment in the Marvel movie, he has stayed far from franchise movies for the most part, and has made public statements insulting the MCU. In more recent years, Mark Ruffalo has taken over as Bruce Banner, and while Ruffalo is very well liked and a wonderful actor, many still question what could have come from Norton’s portrayal of the Hulk.

Although Norton was not overly thrilled with The Incredible Hulk, the Kane brothers point out how the movie was not a failure in its entirety, and how it is actually a better-made movie than some of the other movies that fall in the MCU. For example the Abomination played by Tim Roth, was a very solid, round character. In fact, the end fight scene between Roth and Norton’s characters was so well portrayed; it appeared to be straight from the old school comic books. In addition, Joe and Dan point out that the romantic relationship throughout the movie was well established as well. In general, both brothers feel that The Incredible Hulk was a good movie.

Do you agree or disagree with Joe and Dan? Have you heard Ed Norton’s recent comments, and if so, what are your thoughts on them? Leave your questions, comments, opinions, and as always, tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10.

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers offer a run down of the latest superhero movie, Ant-Man and The Wasp. They explain that the movie starts with Paul Rudd’s character, Scott Lang (a.k.a. Ant-Man), on house arrest. While Ant-Man has been making very public appearances, authorities are constantly checking on Lang to ensure he is still in his home during his last days of confinement.

Interestingly enough, Lang is on house arrest based on his actions during Captain American: Civil War. It was Lang’s decision to join Captain America in Germany that has led to his current situation. Joe and Dan explain that this movie is set between Captain America: Civil War, and the more recent Infinity War. While this time line can confuse some viewers, the brothers believe that overall, the story is really solid and enjoyable.

The brothers also point out that this is a much smaller story than what Marvel has been producing, which is interesting because it shows how the heroes are still working and experiencing trials between the life shattering moments that are more present in other movies. In addition, Lang’s character is shown as endearing, through his relationship with his daughter Cassie, as well as his ex and her new boyfriend. It is interesting to see how he navigates his relationships with the people around him.

Also worth mentioning is that Evangeline Lilly plays the Wasp. This is the Wasp’s first ever full-on, fleshed-out appearance on the big screen. Joe explains that Lilly’s take on the Wasp is very similar to the Wasp in the classic comic, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Lastly, the brothers explain how new technology allowed viewers to see flashbacks with well-known characters looking notably younger. They explain how this was done and how there was even a special family connection in one of the flashback scenes. To hear more detail about this and all things related to the review of Ant-Man and The Wasp, check out this week’s episode.

On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers discuss various different Super Hero Logos, and how Marvel symbols stack up next to DC symbols.

To start, Joe and Dan explain that Marvel symbols are simply not as recognizable as DC symbols. To prove this point, they mention different DC symbols that are very well known including, Superman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and even Batgirl and Robin.
They also acknowledge that Marvel has began to create some iconic symbols, including the Avengers, The Fantastic Four, and X-Men, but how these symbols represent groups rather than individuals. In addition they explain how some logos have shifted over the years with minor variations but how they are typically recognizable.

The Kane brothers explain the history and popularity of many famous Super Hero Logos in this episode and challenge you to think of any additional ones that were left off of their list. Let them know your favorites and if you agree with them about which are most popular and most unrecognized.

In this episode of Comic-Movie 10, the Kane brothers discuss the fight scene between Colossus and Juggernaut, found in the latest Deadpool movie. They also give insight into the history of these two arch rivals and explain how they have come to be the characters the world knows and loves.

Colossus, born Piotr Nikolaievitch “Peter Nicholas” Rasputin, was raised on a farm in Siberia. He became aware of his mutant powers when he rescued his sister from a tractor incident on his family’s property. After displaying his unusual strength, Professor X called on him to save the fate of the X-Men. As a result of this, Colossus became an imperative member of the X-Men team. Although he is the strongest among them, Colossus always shows how big his heart is by being a caring and empathetic character, who only fights when it is absolutely necessary.

Unlike his rival, Juggernaut has not always been so caring. Born Cain Marko, Juggernaut has always had a chip on his shoulder growing up, as his step brother Charles Xavier was given much more attention and care by his step father. While fighting alongside Charles and the rest of the American Army in Korea, Marko found himself inside of a temple, holding a ruby. This ruby had an inscription that explained he now held the power of the Juggernaut. When the temple collapsed on top of him, he was assumed dead, until he reappeared in an attempt to take down the X-Men. It is also important to understand that Juggernaut must wear his helmet, as it is the only thing protecting him from his one weakness- his brother Charles’ brain waves.

The Kane brothers then discuss the groundbreaking fight between these two characters in Dealpool 2, and how the possible Fox merger may impact all things X-Men and Avengers related. Joe and Dan mention their excitement at the possibility of a Juggernaut vs. Hulk fight in the future and question what your favorite fight would be.

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!

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!
