Geek Out!

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

This week has been a dynamic explosion for fandoms everywhere. First, we have received word that a new Guitar Hero will be available for the Wii U, Playstation 4, XBOX  One, and XBOX 360 sometime this year. Secondly, the Avengers played Family Feud on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and lastly, we have finally received a new trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.

Guitar Hero has definitely received a makeover with its realistic graphics and new guitar. The rainbow buttons are gone and in their place are buttons that blend in, giving the overall look of an actual guitar.  The game is now only playable for entertainment and education, giving gamers a chance to learn how to play a guitar. It also has new features such as Guitar Hero TV and Guitar Hero Live which will appear on the game in Fall 2015. Guitar Hero TV allows you to compete with friends and play songs available as DLC.

The Avengers on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” took the stage by storm discussing fanart and general questions about the team. The cast responded in and out of character, much to the delight of the audience and geeks everywhere. They also played their version of the Family Feud which now makes me want to see them go on the actual show.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has reminded me why I love “Star Wars” and it’s for the fact that it is brilliant, sci fi gold. Lucas has once again outdone himself and presented us with a spectacular trailer that gives us goosebumps and a new hope for the movie. It features everything we’ve ever loved about the movie: the Falcon, lightsabers,  Chewie (who doesn’t look greyer), and Han Solo.

This week has been nothing more than a geekified sundae with a destroyed Darth Vader helmet for the cherry. So far it has been a feast for the eyes, soon it’ll be time to dig in.

Thank you for reading tonight’s entry. If you enjoyed it, feel free to comment, share, and critique.

So tell me, what are you excited for the most: Guitar Hero 2015, “Avengers : Age of Ultron”, or “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and why?

Marvel's Shining New Year

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.


Marvel has spent no expense in starting off 2015 on the right, righteous foot. Marvel has begun this heroic year with “Agent Carter,” a television miniseries about Peggy Carter, who picks up where Captain America left off during WW2 believing him to be dead.  Ms. Carter becomes an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D., working for Howard Stark (Tony Stark’s father) carrying out any mission he needs for her to perform. While this is only a miniseries, audiences were stunned by the mere strength, cleverness, and no-nonsense personality of Ms. Carter.

During the two hour premiere of this program, we managed to obtain a clip of the new Marvel movie, “Ant Man.” “Ant Man” features Paul Rudd as the famous superhero who is able to shrink to the size of an ant and command ants to do his bidding.  This movie will spearhead Marvel’s Superheroes Phase 3, introducing a new line of movies following “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron”. Apparently, in the comics Ant Man and the Wasp were the original founders of the Avengers. At one point they even fought alongside Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk. However, I’m not sure what direction Marvel is currently taking for their films. “Ant Man” crawls into theaters on July 17, 2015 a few months after “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron” which premieres on May 1^st, 2015.

To top it all off, Marvel has also announced a new Daredevil series coming to Netflix on April 10th, 2015. This program will feature Daredevil, a blind superhero fighting crime at night and doling out justice as a lawyer by day. Following the Daredevil series will be another Marvel-Netflix program entitled “A.K.A. Jessica Jones” which focuses on the superheroine, Jessica Jones.  Jessica Jones has powerful strength, the ability to fly, and resist physical injury. Luke Cage, a super hero with nearly indestructible skin and super strength, will have his own series on Netflix as well in 2016. Luke Cage and Jessica Jones will hopefully be teaming up together due to their relationship as featured in previous comics. Luke Cake, Jessica Jones, and Daredevil will make up three of the four counterparts known as The Defenders, a team of crime fighters.  Iron Fist, a hero who masters chi, will be the last remaining piece of The Defenders and receive a Netflix series as well. Each program will be released a year apart and will come together creating a Defenders series.

Needless to say, Marvel has its head in the game and is going forward to please audiences everywhere through multiple forms of media.  Not only is Marvel tackling the theaters with “Ant Man” and “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron”, but they are now working their way through television and Netflix to bring us closer to their universe.
