I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
Years from now, people will still talk in hushed tones about the failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story. How could Disney manage to make a flop in the most loved movie franchise ever? Was it fan backlash to The Last Jedi? Were audiences just a bit Star Wars'd out? Did nobody actually care about the adventures of a young Han Solo? I suspect the answer is a combination of all that, but now we have our first little peek at the movie Solo could have been with this uh, snowball fight scene from the Blu-ray trailer.
I saw the 1994 movie Street Fighter in cinemas as an excited 10-year-old and had a complete blast. Sure, it didn't make a lick of sense and didn't have much in common with the game, but there were a bunch of explosions, a cool invisible boat and Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile doing some high kicks. I know it's objectively a pretty crappy film, but it's remained a guilty pleasure to this day.
Black Panther was pretty damn excellent, with Chadwick Boseman serving up a hero quite different to what we normally expect from the MCU. And that's despite the fact that he was constantly in danger of having the scene stolen out from under him by the excellent supporting cast of characters, be it Daniel Kaluuya's W'Kabi, Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia, Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger or, the best of all, Letitia Wright's super-smart, ass-kicking princess Shuri.
The last time we saw Tom Holland's Spider-Man he was crumbling into dust while whimpering in abject terror. Fortunately, with the announcement of Spider-Man: Far From Home, we can be pretty sure he's going to get better over the course of Avengers 4. And after a pretty crappy experience like dying, Spidey has definitely earned the European holiday adventure teased in the upcoming sequel (even if it's apparently to be supervised by the perpetually grumpy Nick Fury).
