by
The Defenders #StreamTeam

My name is Andrew and I am a comic book geek. That means that even if Marvel puts out the craziest movies and TV shows based on obscure characters like Ant-Man or Iron Fist, I’m first in line. And when Netflix’s amazing set of characters team up in a new series called The Defenders, I’m screaming from the rooftops. Yeah, The Defenders.

And the land of horrifically awful (yet I loved every single one) sitcoms. …

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Obviously

by
#GotGVol2 Disney 2017

I am so ready to be hooked again. Hooked on a feeling and hooked on Marvel’s most entertaining “heroes” to hit the big screen: The Guardians of the Galaxy! I absolutely was blown away (in a really really really good way) by the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel Studios completely hit that one out of the park with an incredibly entertaining movie that brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe into a new direction: outer space! And …
