From the emotional depth of Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm to the cosmic scale of Galactus, this film finally captures the spirit of Marvel’s First Family.We break down the movie’s 1960s-inspired retro aesthetic, the decision to set the story in its own universe, and how that allows characters like Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) to shine—or in Thing’s case, get a bit overlooked.We also explore how the movie handles Galactus as a true Marvel-level threat, what the film sets up for the future of the MCU, and how it compares to the 2005 and 2015 versions of the Fantastic Four.If you’re looking for a detailed breakdown of the characters, story, visuals, and what’s next for the MCU’s Fantastic Four, you’re in the right place.

How To Train Your Dragon | Are Franchises Back To Dominating Original IP's?
This is my official review of How To Train Your Dragon the remake of the 2014 classic animated film. In a year that's seen numerous films based off existing properties like Lilo & Stitch, Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning, Minecraft, Superman, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Fantastic Four: First Steps, Ballerina absolutely dominate the original IP movies this year, like Elio, Mickey 17 and Novacane, are we starting to see franchises dominate again? Compared to 2023 where original movies like Barbie and Oppenheimer dominated established franchises like Mission Impossible, Fast & Furious, Marvel and DC, many thought the industry was shifting to more interest in original IP's. But in 2025, it appears like franchises, remakes and adaptations are topping the box office once again. What do you think, are franchises king again?

In this episode of The Blerd Wire, we break down the first half of Andor and why it’s striking a chord with longtime Star Wars fans—especially those who grew up on the prequels and The Clone Wars.

Fixing The Multiverse Saga: Shang Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings
So today we're continuing to fix the multiverse saga, and this time, with Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. But as it turns out, this movie needs no fixing! Honestly the best thing this film could do is stay exactly the way it is. For us, it was one of the strongest entries in the Multiverse Saga and fits perfectly into the overall story. So here's our synopsis and spoiler alert - there's no change to it! Wenwu aka, the Mandarin was a ruthless, immortal warlord empowered by his Ten Rings. But when he meets a woman from mystical village Tao Lao, he gives up his rings and empire for a happy family life. When she's killed by thugs from his past, he returns to his old ways and trains his son, Shang Chi, to be a killer from age 7. At 14, he sends Shang Chi to avenge her, but Shang Chi stays and hides in America after the kill brings no closure. Years later, he & his friend Katy are whisked back into his old world when his father sends assassins to take he and his sister, Xi Xialing's pendants. Wenwu captures them at Xi's illegal fighting club and takes them back to his compound where he reveals the pendants will help him rescue their dead mother from Tao Lao. He threatens to destroy Tao Lao so Shang Chi, Katy and Xu Xialing escape the compound with some help from an impriosned Trevor Slattery to go defend it. In Tao Lao, Shang-Chi's aunt reveals Wenwu is being tricked by trapped Dweller-In-Darkness monster. Shang Chi defeats Wenwu, but not before the monster is freed. Wenwu gives Shang-Chi the rings before the monster kills Wenwu, and Shang-Chi and the Great Protector Dragon destroy the Dweller-In-Darkness. End credits: Xialing takes over Ten Rings Wong shows Shang Chi and Katy that the Rings appear to send some cosmic beacon

Knull Theory For Venom: The Last Dance
So here's my official theory about Knull for Tom Hardy's Venom: The Last Dance. Let me know what you guys think!I think Knull came from the MCU as the personification of darkness and was brought into existence as a god-like being when the Celestials brought matter and energy to his side of the universe. He settles on a planet, names it Klyntar and creates the symbiotes. However, a Celestial emerged through his planet, completely destroying everything on it. So he angrily creates All-Black The Necrosword and beheads that Celestial, who would become Knowhere. I think Arishem and the other Celestials separated him from the Necrosword and then banished him to the Sony verse. Venom in Venom: The Last Dance is his key to return to the MCU and enact his vengeance on all the Celestials.

Fixing The Multiverse Saga: Wandavision

Here's a plot synopsis of how we would have written Wandavision to make the multiverse saga a little more connected.

Fixing The Multiverse Saga: Black Widow
Today I'm starting a new series where we try to fix the Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. First up is Black Widow, and the main change here is Taskmaster. Instead of Taskmaster being just a mindless slave to Ivan Dreykov, Taskmaster is actually going to be the one who resurrects the Red Room after she grows up. Her photokinetic abilities would be genetic rather than programmed. In the comics Taskmaster is a great villain and honestly, the original Black Widow ruined them. So we fix that here, Taskmaster has her own autonomy and is the main antagonist of this movie, using her father's mind control formula. What do you think? Would this have worked? Did you like the original Taskmaster in the Black Widow movie?

Alien: Romulus vs. Prey - Movie Review
Today we're pitting two of the latest movies in the Alien and Predator franchises, pitting them against each other, Alien vs Predator style. Ever since Sigourney Weaver and Arnold Schwarzenegger made Alien and Predator iconic films, the franchises have spewed a total of 14 movies, including two crossovers. With Fede Alvarez' Alien: Romulus starring Isabela Merced the latest offering in the franchise, we're comparing it to 2022's Prey starring Amber Midthunder and whether think each franchise will continue to pump out films.
