For as long as Superman has existed, as a character, there have been evil or not-so-heroic versions of him. But why is this such a common plot? Why does it hold such appeal? That’s what I attempt to explore in this video. Enjoy!

This video is my quick reaction/review for Superman. I tried to limit the mention of spoilers, but I may have let a few slip. Enjoy!

In the spirit of America and all it stands for, I made this video to celebrate a very special movie that truly captures the essence of patriotism. That movie is Team America: World Police.
Yes, it has puppets, profanity, and barfing. But it is the most genuine, honest portrayal of American patriotism in the history of cinema. And that makes it worth celebrating. Enjoy!

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
The Absolute Universe has been a bold, exciting initiative for DC Comics. It dares to reimagine its iconic heroes in a far darker, far less ideal world. But a world like that needs Superman more than most. It needs a hero who still stands for truth and justice in a world where they’ve been undermined to an extreme.
It also parallels our world in distressing, but relevant ways.
But Absolute Superman isn’t just another Elseworld retelling of Superman and how he came to be. I argue in this video that where he comes from, what he stands for, and why he does what he does makes him uniquely capable to be the hero we all need right now. Enjoy!

It’s a recurring theme throughout contemporary X-Men comics.
Magneto was right.
For years, it was just a cynical observation. But lately, Magneto being right hits a bit harder. It’s no longer just a popular meme or a dramatic moment in X-Men 97. It offers powerful insights into the real world. And those insights are worth heeding.

The past couple days have been very stressful and full of anxiety. But after lots of coordination with the support team at YouTube, I managed to get my channel back!
Needless to say, this is a HUGE relief. I was sincerely worried that all that hard work I did was gone forever. But now, it’s back! And I intend to continue making videos, just as I did before. To all those who send me their kind words of support, I sincerely thank you.

In this entry of Jack’s Comic Gems, I highlight All-New Wolverine: Enemy of the State II. This spiritual successor to the acclaimed Enemy of the State arc in a previous Wolverine series makes Laura Kinney a target among heroes, villains, and hated rivals alike. It pushes her in ways she’s never been pushed before. But it ends leaving little doubt that she deserves the title of Wolverine. Enjoy!

Dynamite Entertainment has dug deep into early 90s nostalgia and brought back Captain Planet in the form of a new comic with a much grittier tone. I didn’t know what to make of the news when it first came out. I wasn’t planning on checking it out, either. But I decided to give it a try. And while it did exceed my expectations, it always just felt…weird. But it’s a good kind of weird.
And in this video, I try to explore that feeling. Enjoy!

In this video, I make the case that Star Wars: Rogue One is the perfect modern Star Wars movie. It’s a movie that has largely been lost in the fray as the larger Star Wars mythos has been mired in complications and fan backlash. But even as the franchise has evolved, Rogue One stands out in so many meaningful ways. And to date, it’s the movie that has come closest to matching the cinematic spectacle of the original trilogy. Enjoy!
