Episode 172: Football-playing Superheroes

In light of the Big Game that aired the day of this episode’s release, I found it only right to discuss heroes who were active in the sport at one time or another in their life.  From Superman to SuperPro, football has been a part of many comic characters lives. Find out which of your favorites is included!

Just don’t use your heat vision on them…

As long as the force doesn’t deflate the ball. Or is that okay?

In the future, helmets will have completely black faceplates. Also, the goalpost will be much shorter, apparently.

In the New Universe, all football players get a nickname.

It’s great when your voice can actually make a logo.

Episode 67: Comics to Movies - Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four have been in three movies so far, but haven’t joined the MCU just yet.  But, a new piece of casting news points to that happening sooner rather than later, so now is a good time to see what past movies have gotten right, and what they got wrong in adapting Marvel’s First Family to the screen.

I was tempted to do this “Lost in Adaptation” style, like one of my favorite YouTubers, but didn’t want to be accused of stealing his format, so instead I go movie by movie, rather than “what was kept,” “what was changed,” and “what was left out entirely.”

Still not sure how turning invisible will help. You’re still stuck in his grasp, Sue.

Wait…Why’s Captain America on fire?

Way to read the room, Reed. “I’m just a misshapen Thing!” “Well, I’ll call myself Mister Fantastic!”

And now Killmonger’s aflame? What is it with Human Torches graduating to MCU roles, and what happened to poor Jay Underwood?

Smells like Teen Superheroes.
