Xavier Can Walk?

x-men-first-class-professor-x

Xavier can walk?

                If you look at the trailers for the upcoming film X-men: Days of future past you’ll find the shocking fact that young Xavier is walking.

How Xavier is walking is a mystery but movie producer Simon Kinberg told IGN  that it “is a big part of the story and his arc over the span of the movie,” stating that the movie is about Xavier “accepting his place in the chair.”

So why he is walking is unknown but it gives the impression that this movie is all about making Xavier the man we all know him to be, the bald leader in the wheelchair. Makes you wonder how Xavier avoided his paralysis but more so it makes you wonder what kind of confrontation this will make between the past and future Xaviers.

Is it a smart move to make Xavier the focal point of the movie? Or is it the idea the movie needs for it to stand out against the onslaught of hero movies?

Stan Lee in Guardians of the Galaxy

Stan Lee Book Signing

Stan Lee in Guardians of the Galaxy

 

Originally Stan Lee announced that he would not appear in Guardians of the Galaxy quote “That’s the one group I didn’t create,” and “I’m not even sure who they all are.”  While this was disappointing news many fans could understand why this was the case.

Things have changed and Stan Lee revealed at Chicago’s C2E2 expo that he’s already filmed his scene in Guardians of the Galaxy and with yet another “pretty girl.” The Stan Lee cameos have been the topic of many conversations among fans where Stan has played many roles in the Marvel universe from Generals, to librarians, from Hugh Hefner in Iron Man, to the hero non believer in Avengers fans everywhere enjoy the creator himself showing up in the films that make up his legacy.

So fans get ready to see Stan Lee in Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters August 1st.

Justice League Confirmed

Justice League Confirmed

First we now know that joining Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman is the half human sci tech titan Cyborg played by Ray Fisher. Kind of hard to believe that now the Justice League movie is confirmed when it looks like we already have one with four of the members already appearing in the same movie.

A Justice League movie has been confirmed and could possibly air in 2017 just one year after Man of Steel 2. While it’s great to see a Justice League movie in the makings their is a great risk that comes with this movie. Without taking the time to develop any of the characters except for Superman in the DC cinematic universe the fans have not had the time to see how the individual actors and actresses making up the League portray there heroic roles. This doesn’t give fans the time to really grow attached to the characters and could ruin the movie as a whole. Then you have the Man of Steel sequel which seems more like a Justice League Prequel more than anything else.

So there you have it, the Justice League is coming. Will it work? Or will this fall short of the Avengers? The methods of the DC movies bring up a lot of questions which will not be answered to at least the Man of Steel sequel.

Defenders Assemble

 

Defenders

Defenders Assemble

We already know that Defenders will appear on Netflix starting off with Daredevil to appear for 13 episodes and then following with shows revolving around the characters Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. The goal of this is introduce characters that focus less on the flashy flamboyant characters and focus more on the darker side of the Marvel Universe.

We already know that Daredevil played by DC’s new Batman Ben Affleck was not the most popular Marvel movie, but how will Marvel bring justice to the crimson hero? We just have to wait and see as we still know very little about the show, but what we do know is with all four heroes it will eventually lead up to the four heroes teaming together to form the group The Defenders.

If that wasn’t amazing enough Kevin Smith confirmed that this is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The question remains will the Defenders just play off of the movies like Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or will the Defenders finish their arc and make an appearance in Avengers 3?

Mass Effect Coming to Next Gen

Mass Effect Coming to next gen

                Mass Effect seems to be preparing for a release on the X-Box One and the PS4. The games have been out for awhile now but because of how well the series as a whole did it does seem like a smart move to bring them over to the newest consoles.

However, I doubt the sales will be very high because with the series already been out for so long and the trilogy edition out for the last generation consoles many fans who have any interest in buying the games already have done so. Still if any completed game series deserves to be adapted to this new generation of consoles it’s hard to pick a more deserving series than Mass Effect.

Nintendo’s New Direction

Iwata Satoru

Nintendo’s new direction

                Nintendo President Iwata Satoru had some interesting comments to make about Nintendo. In a presentation he stated that while the company will still create video games the company needs to understand and adapt to the changing lifestyle.

Satoru made this statement, “Surely, a lot of people around the world must think ‘Nintendo is a company that is just for video games,’ about us, and I believe that there are more and more of our own employees who have begun to think like that. So, even if the fact that our focus being video games won’t be changing, I felt the need to take this occasion to say ‘Nintendo is a company that can do whatever they want’. Satoru also continued by focusing on the ideas of improving the quality of life of the consumer by fulfilling basic entertainment needs; however, he did not give any details on how Nintendo plans on doing that.

It sounds as though Nintendo plans to branch out and become more than just a company that makes consoles and games. Logically Nintendo plans to aim at some of the popular trends out today that they are not a part of such as apps. While Nintendo already hinted earlier that they don’t plan on porting their games into mobile app versions, it’s possible they could plan on creating something new to enhance the Nintendo experience via mobile apps.  This is just a theory off the top of my head but with all the news we’ve heard so far it seems like this is likely the direction they will be going.
