Even with Ash vs. Evil Dead still kicking all kinds of ass, one can never be too sure of the longevity of any given series. Really, decisions regarding renewals and cancellations are ultimately up to the networks themselves, so all we the viewers can ever do is to keep on watching and hope for the best.
If we as superhero fans have learned anything, it's that the lives of the characters we love are never easy. Take Ray Palmer, for instance: On last night's episode of Legends of Tomorrow, "The Curse of the Earth Totem," he showed heart by saving the life of Nora Darhk - only to get captured in the process. Go figure!
Say what you want about Fox and how they've handled their Marvel movies in the past, but I feel they've done a fine job in recent years, especially when it comes to finding the right tone for various films focused on certain characters. Really, if you need more proof, one needn't look any further than Deadpool and Logan.
From the get-go, the various elements iZombie boasts that made me a fan were its clever writing, amazing performances put forth by lead actress Rose McIver, and the fact that it can't be pinned down to a single genre. But what assured that I'd keep coming back for more was that each successive season was better than the last. And after viewing the first handful of episodes from the current run, it may be too early for me to say that proud tradition will continue, though it's more than apparent the series is still going very, very strong.
In just a matter of days, all will be well when Gotham returns with its much anticipated spring premiere. And, beyond that, the remainder of season 4 looks to be quite exciting as well, with Cameron Monaghan returning as Jerome Valeska, new actors filling the roles of Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, and a soon-to-be resurrected Ra's al Ghul, among other appearances to look forward to.
After the first Wonder Woman flick cleaned up at the box office, it was only expected that a sequel be imminent. And most fortunate for moviegoers and the film franchise itself is that the character does indeed have decently rich rogues gallery to mine for future installments, thus alleviating any pressure to desperately search for a villain, as is sometimes the case for pictures of this sort.
Although John Constantine currently boasts a generous cult following and enjoys some memorable guest appearances in various Arrowverse series long after his solo show met an unfortunate demise, I won't soon forget that he was once the centerpiece in one of my least favorite comic book movies of all time.
Right now, we're sure that pretty much everybody and their mother have seen Black Panther. Not only did it just enjoy one of the biggest second weekend box office takes in history, but it may also rake in more cash than even 2012's The Avengers did when it's all said and done. Suffice it to say, Disney may be left with enough loot to finance a real life lab that's on par with Shuri's once we get the final tally.
Even though it happened a few months back and commotion has somewhat died down, none of us have forgotten about Disney's acquisition of Fox. And while pundits are busy speculating what this may mean for the future of both film and television, the geek community knows what the most important outcome is: The X-Men can finally be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
In its early days, Legends of Tomorrow was intended to be an anthology show, with storylines isolated to each given season and different lineups being showcased in each subsequent year. Of course, plans soon changed as viewers became attached to certain characters, but as time has gone on, we have seen a fair amount of heroes come and go.
