5 X-Men villains who should be first in line for the MCU's reboot of the X-Men franchise
Now if anyone who considers themselves a comic book movie fan, you all are aware that Disney/Marvel has retained the film rights for X-Men. And for those who don't understand the story of why they didn't have them in the first place here's a quick explanation.
Ace HowellPublished 3 years ago in GeeksWhy WandaVision was Necessary for the MCU to Move Forward
Aside from the outlandish fan theories and disappointing twist that lead to a boner joke, WandaVision was a great series to start off Marvel's new collection of Disney+ shows. Having the first few episodes be in sitcom style with barely any clues as to how they got there in the first place was genius in order to increase viewership. Marvel's shows are made intentionally so that someone who can't afford Disney+ wouldn't need to watch them to understand the context of later films, the content provided in WandaVision will contribute to the overall viewing experience and will enhance the audience's perception of the characters.
We Need Both
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame and potentially any Marvel films from before it. One of the hardest movies for me to watch is Captain America: Civil War. It's a movie where I feel obligated to pick a side. But I love heroes on both sides. I love Captain America and Iron Man.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought comic fans, movie fans, action fans, and people looking for entertainment over a decade of incredible action, incredible movies, and incredible stars. We will forever remember the moments that awed us, brought our hands together in applause, caused us to break out laughing, and even those that brought a few tears in a crowded room. From Iron Man to the Endgame, millions and millions of fans followed the movies with anxious anticipation for the next one starting to grow before the end credit scenes finished playing. Marvel, as a matter of fact, took the end scenes and made them into something that holds people in their seats, incapable of moving before they know what that scene is about, and then to the end of the credits for that final scene. The MCU changed the world of movies and left an indelible mark on culture.

Many people loved the movie Black Panther in no small part due to the performance of Chadwick Boseman. From his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War, through his own film, the Avengers films, and the upcoming What If? Series on Disney +, Boseman owned the role. Not only was he an excellent actor, he also had the look and the presence to carry the role as the King of Wakanda and superhero Avenger.

Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther, King T'Challa of Wakanda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, may be the hardest of losses to the Marvel Universe as well as to fans of the movies. There's no question that Black Panther broke records. There's no question that Black Panther was a legacy-defining hit that won't soon if ever, be forgotten. It was no surprise that Marvel put the plans for Black Panther 2 on hold after the shocking death of its' lead actor, Chadwick Boseman. Now that it's in development again, we are just now starting to learn details of the anxiously awaited Black Panther 2.

Many centuries ago, in 2018, Marvel released Avengers: Infinity War. Before I saw this movie I expressed to a friend who wasn’t a Marvel Fan that I was worried one or more of my favorite Marvel characters might die in the series.

Over the course of twenty-three widely loved films, and now two smash hit television series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has built one of the best casts of any franchise, possibly of all time. Beginning with Robert Downey Jr's now iconic role as Tony Stark, all the way down to Kathryn Hahn's recent memorable turn as Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, the MCU has rarely dealt with any significant missteps with it's casting decisions.
Kristy AndersonPublished 3 years ago in GeeksWhy The Falcon and The Winter Solider was Necessary For the MCU to move Forward
Friday April 23rd, 2021 marks the day that the finale for Disney+'s original Marvel TV show, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, was released. As most MCU content is, this show was action packed and emotional. Although the Marvel's shows are made intentionally so that someone who doesn't have Disney+ wouldn't need to watch them to enjoy the later films, the content provided in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier enhances the audience's perception of these characters and will contribute to the overall viewing experience.
What if Sharon Carter has always been the Power Broker.
In a previous article I expressed some distaste for the implementation of Sharon Carter in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It stemmed from how her path to evil began with her being seemingly abandoned by Steve Rogers after Civil War and how I felt that was inconsistent with Steve's character, defined as a person who always comes through for his friends, see Bucky and the other avengers stuck on the raft. I could only conclude that Steve could not find her because she did not want to be found and I did not feel like that sentiment was earned considering how little time they were separated before the events of infinity war. If she was not turn to dust in the snap, surely Steve could have used her expertise if nothing else to help during the crisis. Also the time frame feels really tight for her to leave the US and become the dominate force in Mandripore. I know she is portrayed as very capable, but that is a heck of a feat. Or is it? What if she had more time and a little help setting up her contacts? As she walked down the stairs after the hearing during the post credit scene in Falcon and the Winter Soldier a thought struck me, could she have been the Power Broker all along?
