Short of The Week: The Butcher


"There are a lot of people in prison"

Director: Dave Graw

Written by: Dave Graw, Nick Ganas, and Trip Gould

After being released from prison,  a homicidal maniac, known as Boogeyman, runs into troubles while trying to adjust into society. A bit of a cliched tale that achieves nothing more that plastering a smile on your face. It deals with the issues of stereotypes, internal struggle, existentialism, love, and fitting in. The story is told entirely through a montage that is backed with music, but continues to be enthralling. Much of what the murderer feels can be mirrored by actions of your own—both emotionally and physically. I don’t mean to the extent of wanting to kill someone; it just follows the idea of trying to fit in and finding your place in life. Overall this is a delightful short that leaves the heart happy.

Written by Anthony Centeno

A Guide To Alternative Christmas Records

@4thefanmovies

The holidays are upon us and there is a ton of annoying music being played right now. Go anywhere in public and you will hear the choice songs that make everyone cringe. Not only that, they are usually bad renditions of them. How many times are we going to hear that Mariah Carrey song? Or worse than that, when will they stop playing Kenny G’s Christmas records? 

The short answer is, never.

So for those of you with smartphones, unlike myself, you may want to grab a handful of the following recordings. After a lot of listening, and yes, a LOT of listening, we narrowed down the top 5 alternative Christmas records worth a listen. These are all straying away from the traditional, even though “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on vinyl doesn’t get old. Heck, Sir Jorge even plays it in July. Granted, he’s usually alone and sad, but hey, wasn’t Charlie Brown always sad? We digress.

So here you go, 5 alternative Christmas records you’re going to absolutely want to put on instead of that lousy compilation your mom got you 2 Christmases ago from a Target end cap.

Possible Super Hero Appearances In Marvel's "The Avengers" Franchise! (Predictions)

For the Fan Presents:

The Avengers: Possible Super Heroes for the Future

*WARNING* 
THIS IS ALL PREDICTION/OPINION. NOT FACT

Be sure to follow us on Twitter! 

@4theFan
@4theFanMovies


With the upcoming addition of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to The Avengers team in the upcoming "Avengers: Age of Ultron" a question that has popped into everyone's head at least once is, "Who else are we going to see be added into the MCU?" Well, I am making this post to share my opinion on who I think there is a possibility of us seeing in the future of The Avengers franchise. These are in no particular order, and obviously none of these are fact, they are nothing more than speculation and opinion on to who I'd want to see introduced. 

Hope you guys enjoy my list and if you guys have a hero you think will be introduced, or if you want to share an opinion about my list please feel free to comment below or tweet me @4thFan. Let's get started! 

Ms. Marvel/Carol Danvers


To be completely honest I was expecting the introduction of Carol Danvers to be in Iron Man 3, but as we all know, that didn't happen. I think the addition of Ms. Marvel would be really cool for the Avengers and could actually happen. Ms. Marvel has already been rumored as a possibility but I think that if we were to see her on the big screen, it wouldn't been under the alias of "Ms. Marvel" but more than likely under her other name, "Warbird" or "Binary" mostly because Marvel won't want a character named after them in the cinematic universe. But I think the more realistic way would be that, she is introduced as shield agent "Colonel Danvers" who develops super powers as a part of the "super solider" program being brought back. Of course that's just what I think is the more realistic way of her being added into the MCU. There is the possibility of her being introduced in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" since that film seems to be really S.H.I.E.L.D heavy. Another reason I think that Ms. Marvel could fly her way onto the Avengers team is because Joss Whedon has already said he wants to use heroes with more "extraordinary" powers and what is more extraordinary than a deep yellow photon blast?

Union Jack/Joesph Chapman

Even though Union Jack was never on the Avengers team, the main reason I believe we could see Union Jack on the Avengers is because he was technically introduced in the first Captain America film but under the first Union Jack alias "James Montgomery Falsworth." I think it would be really cool to see the third UJ "Joseph Chapman" be introduced. This could easily be accomplished by Marvel. All they would have to do is have an opening montage in the beginning of "Captain America: The Winter Solider" of the original Union Jack, James Montgomery, in the Union Jack attire fighting people during WWII after being inspired from serving side by side with Captain America during the war. From there all they would have to do is introduce Joseph Chapman as the new Union Jack who has taken up the mantle and is apart of S.H.I.E.L.D's British unit/sector. Basically all the heroes on my list are going to more than likely be introduced from S.H.I.E.L.D. I also think his introduction would more than likely be on the TV show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." It would also be a way for Marvel to tie in the TV Universe with the Movie Universe.

Black Panther/T'Challa

I guess this one is not really a "prediction" because a Black Panther film is already apparently "in development" but some evidence around him being introduced is the fact that Captain America's shield is made out of the Wakandian material "Vibranium," which means, BP is technically already a part of the MCU, but I think it would be really cool to see him and his Wakandian army fight with The Avengers. This is more of a, "it's bound to happen" type of prediction since it's technically happening already. I do think that Black Panther would work better by being introduced through an Avengers movie, versus his own solo film. It would be a lot simpler I think for Marvel, and would help condense everything instead of draw it out and over saturate the cinema field with even more super hero films.

Spider-Woman/Jessica Drew
  
The odd's of us seeing Spider-Woman on the big screen right next to Cap and Iron Man is probably slim to none. Yes, Marvel owns the Cinematic Rights to SW. I think that she would be an awesome installment to the Avengers franchise because they could introduce her as one of the agents at Hydra that infiltrates S.H.I.E.L.D. but eventually decides to use her powers for good (much like in the comics) but I doubt she would be named Spider-Woman and I doubt they would use her classic red and yellow suit. They would more than likely do a Black Widow-esque style suit where it's black on red, or black on black. I think she would be really cool to see on the big screen but I honestly think she is the most far fetched on my list. I just really don't see Marvel doing it, even though I would be the happiest little fan boy if they did.  

Iron Fist/Danny Rand

With his own Netflix TV Show on the way I'm sure a lot of people are curious to know whether or not Iron Fist will cross over into the MCU or if the several upcoming Netflix TV Shows are going to be in their own little world but I think it would be amazing to see Iron Fist a part of the Avengers. The reason I think that Marvel should bring all these heroes into the MCU is because it seems like they're setting it up for Civil War and if they're going to be doing that, they're going to need A LOT of heroes and the sad truth is that they don't own the rights to most of the big players in that arc, so why not bring in some that they own the rights too? It's a big possibility that all the heroes they'll be making Netflix shows for will make appearances in The Avengers franchise at some point in time, and I would be more than happy to see Iron Fist a part of that!

Bucky Barnes

The last character on this list is the famous side kick of Captain America, Bucky Barnes! With Bucky coming back as "The Winter Solider" in the next Captain America movie I'm very curious to see if they're going to take the obvious (cinematic) route and kill him off, or actually keep Bucky around for him to pick up the mantle of Captain America. Yes, I know and understand that Bucky doesn't take up the mantle until after Civil War when Steve Rogers is killed, but hear me out. I think it would be really cool for the entire MCU to have Bucky and Steve as Captain America, or even just have Bucky as his side kick like he was originally in the comics. As long as they don't kill off The Winter Soldier in the upcoming Captain America film, there is a very very high possibility of them utilizing the character of Bucky Barnes.


Do you agree with my list or do you think I am crazy with who I want to see join The Avengers? Let me know below!

@4theFan
@4theFanMovies


title: The Superior Spider-Man #20
price: $3.99
publisher: Marvel Comics
writer(s): Dan Slott & Christos N. Gage
artist: Humberto Ramos

Story Summary/Premise

DARKEST HOURS Part 2 of 4: “Complications” • As Otto Octavius takes another big step in his life as Peter Parker... could a big part of Flash Thompson’s life be coming to a close? Will he be... VENOM NO MORE?! • More with MJ! More with Carlie! More with the Green Goblin! 

Review of the Book

As I said in last week's review, I have been looking forward to this Venom arc since it was announced but didn't know exactly what to expect. After last week's issue I couldn't wait for the next one. This issue again showed Otto's intensity and relentlessness towards basically everyone, and Flash Thompson in particular. This issue was promoted as "The most cringe worthy moment in SSM to date." well, I don't know about anyone else who read this issue I wasn't really "cringing" at the end of this issue. Yes, I was like "holy crap this is going to get crazy in the next issue" but I wasn't freaking out. The writing in this issue was good but is a lot like the rest of the series and nothing really "new." I love Dan Slott and he's my favorite comic writer but I don't think these issues need to be promoted as "cringe worthy" unless it's a major death or something super major happening within the superior title. The art by Ramos was good but a bit too blocky. I did very much enjoy Superior Spider-Man issue #23 but felt like the way it was promoted was bit of a letdown. 

Pros, Cons, and Rating

PROS: Good writing, fun action scene's, good crossover
CONS: Bad promoting, decent art

Rating: 8/10

title: Deadpool #020
price: $2.99

writer(s): Brian Posehn & Gerry Duggan
artist: Scott Koblish

Story Summary/Premise

Another flashback to Deadpool Stories Past!This time, Deadpool wreaks havoc on a cosmic level!

Review of the Book

To start this review off, I have absolutely loved the current Marvel Now Deadpool run. So far I have thought that the writing has been hilarious and the art has been really well done. This issue I unfortunately thought it was all just decent. Gerry Duggan is one of my favorite comic book writers but I felt like he and Brian Posehn were trying a bit too hard with this issue. It's another flashback issue which, up until this point have been great and hilarious. There were parts in this issue where i was laughing and thought were really funny but ultimately I thought some things were a bite to try hard. For example, the watcher, cosmic baby, and the ruler were all a bit to cheesy/slapstick for me. The art in the throwback issues is a bit different than standard comic art but still good

Pros, Cons, and Rating

PROS: Cool art, some funny moments
CONS: decent writing, and a bit try hard at times

RATING: 5/10

The Star Wars #004 - Comic Review

Be sure to follow us on Twitter!

@4theFan 
@4theFanMovies


title: The Star Wars #004
price: $3.99
publisher: Dark Horse Comics
writer: J.W. Rinzler
artist: Mike Mayhew


The reviews for now on will be a little bit different, instead of me writing a full summary, the premise from the publisher's website will now be posted :)

Story Premise/Summary

General Skywalker and Jedi-in-training Annikin Starkiller have a deadly encounter with mounted Stormtroopers! An encounter with outlaws in a cantina leads to a meeting with smuggler Han Solo! And a Jedi makes the ultimate sacrifice to save one of Princess Leia’s younger brothers!

Review of the Book

Since issue #1 of The Star Wars I have been saying that this is something I really would have liked to see put to film and would really like to see done on a large scale. In order to read this series I believe that you really have to go in with an open mind and you can't really compare the book to the original trilogy because it's not the same Star Wars that we all know and love. It's something brand new and great! Issue #4 of The Star Wars has probably been my favorite issue in this miniseries yet. It's action packed and a lot of fun! We also got to see the cantina scene! I personally really like this writing versus what George Lucas actually settled on, but I don't know how much of it can be attributed to Rinzler mostly because it's an adaptation, but I really think that the writing for this series is very strong. The art in this book is definitely something I love the most out of this book. It's really some of the best art in comics today. Really realistic, and really believable. Props to Mayhew for that. It's really hard to find issues in this book because it is a new series and hasn't been done before so I can't say "oh this character would never act that way." I can compare it to the original trilogy, but it's not meant to be compared to it. It's meant to be it's own entity.

Pros, Cons, & Rating

PROS: Beautiful art, good writing, good action sequences
CONS: Still a setup for a bigger plan, so it will be interesting to see how much of a role the newly introduced characters play in the upcoming issues

RATING: 9/10

Rest In Peace: Paul Walker



You might have heard by now, but we at For Then Fan want to express our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and team of 40 year old Paul Walker and his passenger.

Earlier today Paul Walker and passenger (unidentified at the moment) were found dead due to a fatal car accident. 

He and the passenger of the vehicle were on their way for an appearance at a car show that was aimed towards raising funds for the recent Philippines typhoon disaster. The only information that can be offered at the moment is that Walker's Porsche GT had been engulfed in flames after crashing into a pole, causing immediate fatality for both Walker and the passenger. 

As of right now there is no word as to who was driving the Porsche but TMZ reported that the actor had been taking friends out for joy rides in his new Porsche, and that this occurred during one of those.

One thing we can assure of, Paul Walker will not go forgotten. He may have left us today, but he will continue to live on through his various films and works.

Again we'd like to express our deepest condolences and open our hearts for Paul Walker's friends, family, team, and especially his daughter, Meadow.
