The Apple Worm

One day, I hope I will be lucky enough to attend a Comic-Con, hopefully a big one like NY or San Diego. Someday, it is one of my dreams and goals to be at a Geek environment like no other and enjoy a big announcement or trailer reveal like those at Comic-Con this past weekend. So, from a distance, these are my thoughts about the Marvel phase 4 line up of movies and series. May 1 st 2020: This movie is SO long overdue, but that does not mean it is bad timing. We do not know how greatly written TaskMaster and the Black Widow confrontation is. I believe this has the potential of being an amazing prequel to Infinity War and Endgame; further exploration of Natasha’s past will make us empathize even further with her character and decisions later on, which we already know from the movies. I can only say that this will definitely add an emotional punch to the Soul Stone scene from Endgame between Romanoff and Hawkeye. Fall 2020: The Falcon and Winter Soldier TV Series will force ...

Walking into this movie I was fearful of how one of my favorite Spiderman villains (mysterio) was going to be used given the background that the MCU has in terms of villains being represented for this universe in a different way, for example “the Mandarin”. Dr. Ludwig Rinehart, Quentin Beck a.k.a. Mysterio is a horrible actor because he is an incredible special effects artist whose superpower is one that exists in the real world more than we would wish: deception. And for this movie, I cannot believe HOW WELL they used Quentin’s deception to highlight Peter Parkers innocence and fear of responsibility.

Quentin simply takes over everyone and their agenda becomes his own. I COMPLETELY disagree with the people that criticize the exposition scene ...

It has been some time since I wrote out a personal piece. So you have been warned, here it comes. You know how in work interviews they ask what you think your biggest strength and flaw are? Well, for me those are quite straightforward: I have the great strength of being a goal setter, not a dreamer (at least that is how I like to see it). I love looking forward to a date, thinking outside the box and, even when it seems unlikely, find a goal to check up on that idea that once I dreamed of. I love starting things and I LOOOVE getting to the end and looking back at all the hardships. I am a dreamer… HOWEVER… I am also impatient. I set short, middle or long-term goals, but I always want the payoff to my dreams and goals NOW. I want to have and cherish micro-goals on the way to the main goal. I guess that also makes the main goal that much more worthwhile and makes me that much more driven towards every new goal. I just wish I had more patience. My drive depends on how mu...
