Where Does ‘X-Men ’97’ Officially Rank in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Marvel Studios has made so much incredible content it’s sometimes staggering to think about, and X-Men ’97 is an astonishing achievement. But where will it rank in my list? Let’s find out.

46. The Incredible Hulk

This movie is now somewhat relevant considering that it’s connecting to Captain America: Brave New World. That being said, this movie will most likely always remain at the bottom of my list.

45. Thor

Thor has its moments, but overall, it’s pretty subpar.

44. Secret Invasion

I wanted to love this show, but after the fourth episode, it was clear that this would become one of the least interesting installments in the MCU in a while. The best thing about this show was the characters, thanks to a remarkable cast, but the story was as mediocre as they come.

43. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Decent, but not great.

I’m So Excited for the Second Season of ‘The Rings of Power’!

I. Love. The Lord of the Rings. So much so, that if a show or movie is set in the world of Middle-Earth I’m going to watch it (a lot.) I love The Hobbit movies despite the fact that they didn’t grasp audiences in the way that the The Lord of the Rings trilogy did, and I really enjoyed The Rings of Power even though the show definitely could’ve used some better storytelling at times.

Now, after roughly a year-and-a-half hiatus, The Rings of Power has released its teaser for the second season, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Here it is.

To say I’m excited is an understatement. I’ve been very intrigued to see how Sauron’s story will continue in the second season, and I’m pleased to see that they will indeed utilize the Annatar storyline (with Charlie Vickers returning in a new elven form.) He did a great job convincing me in the first season that he was the perfect choice to play Sauron in all of his many forms, and this trailer validated that.

It also seems that this season will be a lot more epic. There are great battles in store, epic new lands to discover, and new characters to meet. I can’t wait to continue following the story this August, and if it is indeed better than last season, we’re in for quite a treat.

I thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day.

My Top 15 Movies of 2023

Well, we’ve reached the end of the year, and that means it’s time for another annual movie ranking. Usually, I rank every movie I’ve seen during the year, but this year I decided to end that tradition and just highlight the films I enjoyed the most. I can’t wait for you to read this list. Enjoy!

15. Missing

Earlier this year, a movie released in theaters that I don’t think many people paid attention to but would turn out to be one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. That movie happened to be Missing.

Starring Storm Reid, Missing is an engaging thriller with so many plot twists that I couldn’t tear my eyes from the screen. Despite a mediocre conclusion that definitely left me wishing the film had maybe been R-rated, this is undoubtedly one of the surprises of the year for me.

14. Extraction 2

When they announced that Extraction would be getting a sequel, I wasn’t expecting it to be good. Surprisingly, the Extraction franchise is one of the few Netflix originals that is actually genuinely entertaining. This movie is a blast, and it has some of the best action to be found this year. I can’t wait to eventually see Extraction 3.

Ranking the Tv Shows of 2023

We have reached the end of 2023, and there have been a lot of shows that have come out this year. Unfortunately, I haven’t been that invested in series this year, but for the ones I’ve seen, it’s time to rank them.

11. Secret Invasion

This show had potential, but it was executed so poorly that this is undoubtedly the worst series I’ve seen this year. The intro was AI-generated, Maria Hill died, Colonel Rhodes was a Skrull, Emilia Clarke’s G’iah was turned into an ultra-powerful CGI disaster of a superhero, and they killed off the primary antagonist in such an unceremonious fashion that there was no denying that this undoubtedly one of the worst things the MCU had ever sired. Hence why its storylines were non-existent in The Marvels.

The only highlights of the series were Olivia Colman’s delightfully cheeky Sonya Falsworth and the introduction of Nick Fury’s wife, Priscilla.

I’m Only Three Episodes In, and I’m Obsessed with ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’

Last week, my mind was blown after watching the two-episode premiere of the highly anticipated series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Seeing some of my favorite characters and one of my favorite books growing up brought to life in such an authentic fashion had me literally crying tears of joy. With the immense excitement I felt, the week-long wait for the third episode was so hard to endure. Thankfully, the third episode did not disappoint.

Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are now fully on their quest to find and return the master bolt to Zeus, but there are many dangers to being a demigod and they find trouble almost instantly into their quest.

‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Is Everything I Could’ve Wanted and More

I haven’t posted on here in nearly a month, but I have returned to talk about something that has excited me since its announcement a couple of years ago: the Percy Jackson series on Disney+. See, when I was a child, the Percy Jackson were my Harry Potter books. Sure, I read the Harry Potter books and was pretty much obsessed with the movies, but the Percy Jackson books were at another level for me.

I connected with this story so deeply, with Percy narrating each book in the first-person point of view, and the awe-inspiring nature of Greek mythological beings and gods inhabiting this world. I read all of the books growing up, and I even found myself invested in the later books which expanded upon the stories and introduced me to brand new iconic characters. There was nothing quite like those early Percy Jackson books though, which expanded my imagination and converted into a fan.

I remember wanting to watch the Percy Jackson movie when it had its television premiere on Cartoon Network over a decade ago. I was a bright-eyed child ready to see my favorite story adapted as a film. What my sister and I watched was flabbergasting, to say the least. We ended up not finishing it because it was so terrible, and ever since I assumed we would never get to see a proper adaptation of one of my favorite book series of all time. And then, Rick Riordan announced that we would, in fact, be getting a Percy Jackson series on Disney+. My excitement for this series began to grow, but it was the casting of the main trio that sent me over the moon.
