Here’s the thing about Captain Marvel, with expectations incredibly high. Its place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is troublesome, not because it is a bad movie or the character isn’t compelling, but it needed to set the stage for the character’s appearance in Avengers: Endgame which came out in theaters just a couple of months…
This month’s Geek Fuel box has arrived and here is August opening it up. Let’s take a slightly closer look at what was in that box. August was thrilled as you could tell from the video to get the Doctor Who comic with the variant cover. That bobblehead also was most welcome. He likes the…
We got a code for the game to be played on the PlayStation 3, but you can get this game for pretty much any current console or PC. This is a game that, unlike the previous LEGO Marvel game, focuses on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes utilized a lot of different characters…

Thor: The Dark World follows up the events of both Thor and The Avengers with a story that advances the Asgardian world and its inhabitants along with several other mere mortals.
