Deadpool: Breaking Walls and Taking Names

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

You might be wondering where Thursday’s entry is and I assure you, I have an important, validated reason for not writing anything for Thursday.

I went to see “Deadpool”.

Readers, I have been waiting for a “Deadpool” movie for approximately three years, if not more. Three years ago, I discovered Deadpool in the game “Marvel vs Capcom” and out of interest and insomnia, I decided to suit up as the iconic character. After toying around with his crazy fighting style and quick one liners, I was curious about the Merc with the Mouth and decided to do a little research. The more I learned about this charismatic character, the more I adored him and felt bad for him given his life.

Then came the test footage of the “Deadpool” movie and I knew I needed to see this film. Following it was the “Deadpool” video game with its terrible controls and hilarious, wondrous writing.

After three years of waiting, the “Deadpool” film was produced and I didn’t hesitate to see it.

This movie was equivalent to the first lick of ice cream in the summer. It was refreshing from the dark, gritty superhero stories that stuck to the script. Deadpool didn’t stick to the script; he climbed into the audience’s lap and guided them through his adventure of revenge and trying to win back a lost love. It was flavorful with pop culture references, nods to actors and other movies, and smooth with its writing and line delivery. It was appealing from Ryan Reynolds’ figure to Colossus’ steel frame and even Vanessa’s transformation from short haired temptress to geeky, concerned fiancée.

Overall, “Deadpool” was a movie that did not disappoint and excelled beyond my expectations of how this movie would be. If you’re eighteen or over (this movie is definitely not for children due to intercourse, Ryan Reynolds’ dick, gratuitous amounts of female nudity, and more salty language than a sailor can shake his fist at), I highly recommend that you see this movie enough times until your brain is nothing more than witty one liners and pop culture references.

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

So tell me, what did you think of “Deadpool”?

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.
