How Marvel Studios Can Salvage Kang The Conqueror

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Kang the Conqueror was supposed to be the next big threat for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was poised to usher in the events that would culminate in Avengers: Secret Wars.

However, that did not happen. Marvel Studios changed their plans and with the firing of Jonathan Majors, Kang’s role in the future of the MCU is uncertain. But his story need not end.

In this video, I make the case that Kang can be salvaged. With the right approach, he can still be a major threat in a future phase of the MCU. Enjoy!

On My Way To New York Comic Con!

It’s that magical time of year, once again!

The New York Comic Con is upon us!

And once again, I plan to attend. As I am typing this right now, I am making my final preparations. I’ve got my pass, I’ve got my costume, and I’ve got a stack of comics that I hope to get signed by my favorite artists and writers.

There’s so much I want to see. And while I know for certain I won’t get to see everything, I’m confident it’ll be another wonderful experience to remember. I’ve documented my past trips to New York Comic Con before. Every time I go, I encounter so many amazing people and forge memories that I deeply cherish. This trip has since become a highlight every year. And I look forward to making this year just as special.

I am so ready!

New York, here I come!

Why The Joker Is Brilliant, But Controversial (For The Wrong Reasons)

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video recounts the brilliant, but controversial message of the first Joker movie. A lot has happened with this character over the years. But Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix offered a take that has resonated in ways that are both remarkable and distressing.

Avengers, X-Men, And Why The Difference Matters

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is a bit of a rant on the Avengers, the X-Men, and how they’re depicted in popular media. One is a celebrated team of heroes. The other is hated and feared, even as they try to be heroes, as well. There are many reasons for this that go beyond the general narrative. And with mutants poised to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I believe the time is right to highlight and scrutinize those differences. Enjoy!

IT’S OFFICIAL: ULTIMATE MARVEL IS RETURNING!

This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is me reacting to Marvel’s big announcement that Ultimate Marvel is returning. After the events of Ultimate Invasion, Jonathan Hickman is set to launch a rebooted version of the Ultimate Universe for a new generation. Having advocated for this in previous videos, I am very excited about this. But I also have reservations that are worth highlighting as we prepare for this new Marvel universe. Enjoy!

How The New DC Cinematic Universe Can Succeed (Or Fail)

This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is a deep dive into the past, future, and potential of the DC Cinematic Universe (a.k.a. the DCEU). Now that it’s all but official that the whole endeavor is getting revamped, I explore what the new DCEU needs to do in order to succeed and the potential pitfalls it might face. I’m genuinely rooting for DC and Warner Brothers to succeed. But they will face major challenges to become a full-fledged cinematic universe.

Why Mr. Sinister Should Be The X-Men’s Main Villain In The MCU

This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is me making the case for Mr. Sinister to being the X-Men’s primary antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was only teased briefly in the Fox movies. And we’ve already had over a decade of Magneto being the X-Men’s main villain on the big screen. The time is right for Mr. Sinister to show just how devious he can be. And given the current state of the MCU, the timing couldn’t be better. Enjoy!
