How can Shazam connect the DCEU?

Image
Justice League is not like any other comic team up. It not only represents equality but also it has one gigantic message that is the top Seven Team members represents personalities and promotes that people having these personalities can become heroes. SUPERMAN for HOPE GREEN LANTERN for WILL POWER WONDER WOMAN for LOVE MARTIAN MAN HUNTER for ACCEPTANCE FLASH for PATIENCE BATMAN for LEADERSHIP  AQUAMAN for UNITY In this blog I would not bash the DCEU for what they are lacking in but rather I would try to give suggestions as to how can the DCEU connect its universe together slowly with the release of Shazam! After the huge box office success of the Aquaman movie the DC Fans can just lean back on their sofas as the heavy pressure from the 10 years old MCU is very much starting to loosen up. Like Aquaman, SHAZAM has a very low non-comic loving fan base which makes it simpler to draw the characters onscreen in a manner which makes it flexible to the plot of the who...

Coco Full Movie Review

Image
Well, better late than never I have finally watched Coco and made sure I watched it several times before I would actually review for the movie and I must say I love Pixar for their way of storytelling as every single time it gives a huge emotional moment which leaves its audience weeping like a baby. Let's take a moment as this post will contain spoilers for the movie and if you are still waiting for the right moment to watch the movie I warn you that this post contains SPOILERS AHEAD. As usual I have split up my review into small segments for better understanding. Animation: Pixar is known for its huge animated worlds and that is what is seen in Coco. It is mesmerising to see the picturesque Land of the Dead. Though the spirit guide part was almost similar to that of Moana but the features given to them was very unique. They were colourful and magical visually. The colour frame of the movie was mostly given a warm tone and the orangish shade gave the feeling of...

Avengers:Infinity War Non-Spoiler Review

Image
At their ten year anniversary Marvel has presented us with a gift of lifetime. There are hardly any moments in the movie that the audience did not react to. But today I am going to discuss about the movie without spoilers. So the facts that we are going to deal with here are completely SPOILER FREE. It is very hard to discuss a movie like Infinity War without giving away spoilers since almost every scene in the movie is a possible spoiler, so today I am just going to give an outline of how the movie looks and how it shapes up without discussing any spoilers.  Visual Effects: Background : The first thing that needs to be stated is how realistic it looks when it comes to the different plants that we are introduced to. The visual effects have been done to near perfection when it comes to the various backgrounds of the movie. Except when Thanos pops up, as shown in the trailer, by using the Space Stone.  The Black Order: The Black Order have been give...

Who might die in the Infinity Wars? SPOILERS

Image
It is very evident from the various promotional updates on the Movie (Avengers: Infinity War) that there is a clear chance for us to lose someone in the Infinity War. But who might that be. There have been many speculations in and around the theory that either Captain America or Ironman might be killed of in the movie. Both of whom have been very dear to us. But before moving forward I would like to give a fair warning that there are possibilities of having SPOILERS AHEAD. Infinity Gems: We know that the movie deals with infinity gems- Tesseract (Space Stone), Aether (Reality Stone), Orb (Power Stone), Loki's Scepter/Vision (Mind Stone), Soul Stone and finally the Time Stone. It is very important to know all of their uses before proceeding with our theory. Tesseract (Space Stone) The Tesseract is a blue stone capable of teleporting anything from one point in the universe to other. Aether (Reality Stone) The Aether is a red floating liquid thin...

Why the words 'Save Martha' changed Bruce?

Image
Batman v Superman has become the movie which has been unappreciated by many DC fans and has equally been criticised for its various so-called faults. Yes, it might not have lived up to our expectations but when it comes to the DC, we know that they take the story to such a depth that it can only be understood by going through it very thoroughly.  In this blog, I have tried to explain that why Batman suddenly changed from aggressive to friendly just by hearing the name of MARTHA and NO it is not just because his "MOTHER'S NAME WAS SIMILAR". But before I come to that I would like to explain why Snyder's version of Batman deserves to be appreciated for its great direction and acting. Here are few reasons to appreciate Snyder's Batman: 1. Use of Gadgets:               Batman's use of heavy weaponry is a common habit and that exactly what the Batman in this movie does. When it comes to Nolan's Batman trilogy we saw very intricate s...

Black Panther Full Movie Review

Image
It has been over seven weeks since the movie (Black Panther) has been released world wide and I seemingly believe that you all have watched the movie more than once by now. Even then I am warning you all for having SPOILERS AHEAD. The Black Panther Movie has earned over 1 billion USD since its initial release on 29th of January, 2018. My movie review shall contain specific details about various parts of the movie making it better for understanding. Black Panther- Character Build Up We are used to seeing light hearted comedy movies from the MCU but it is completely different when we are introduced to each and every character of Wakanda. Yes, there are some laughable moments in the movie with M'Baku's and Shuri's comic timing the balance is well maintained through out the movie.  With the release of the Spiderman- Homecoming movie we have entered into the 4th Phase of Marvel movies. The Black Panther Comics is not one of the top most popular comics in the ...

Can Shazam save DCEU?

Image
Captain Marvel, also known as Shazam is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Artist C. C. Beck and writer Bill Parker created the character in 1939. He is the alter ego of Billy Batson, a boy who, by speaking the magic word "SHAZAM" is (acronym of six "immortal elders": Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury), can transform himself into a costumed adult with the powers of superhuman strength, speed, flight and other abilities. The movie of Shazam is due to be released on 5th April, 2019. Can a SHAZAM save the DCEU? If so, then how can he do so? The answer to the first question is very simple as the DCEU is trying to find a bit more light hearted comedy in their movies along with action, they have chosen the best possible DC hero who can bring the best of both. Rather than forcing comedy of the serious heroes. But how can Sh...

5 Reasons why Hufflepuff is the Best House of Hogwarts

Image
Firstly, I congratulate you on being sorted in the House of Hufflepuff. I am a Gryffindor myself but still am congratulating you as you have been sorted in the best house of Hogwarts. Why?? Let me give you 5 reasons as to why Hufflepuff is the Best House in Hogwarts. 1. Traits : Hufflepuff house is known for their hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Now these traits are not that common in every single person. Anyone can be ambitious, courageous or intelligent but possibilities of having any of the traits of Hufflepuff is one in a million. So, if anyone of you have being sorted in Hufflepuff you are no doubt one in a million. 2. Tri-wizard Tournament: The only person from Hogwarts to have been sorted in the Tri-wizard Tournament was a Hufflepuff. Cedric Diggory was the only person from Hogwarts who was sorted legally. Not an Intelligent Ravenclaw, Ambitious Slyterin nor even the Courageous Gryffindor. So, you should be proud. 3. Profound Loyalt...

Are the DCTV Shows better than the DCEU?

" Filmmaking, like any other art, is a very profound means of human communication; beyond the professional pleasure of succeeding or the pain of failing, you do want your film to be seen, to communicate itself to other people ." -Kenneth Lonergan Filmmaking is the way of communicating the views of a person with that of its viewer. And only if there is a proper communication between the filmmaker and his viewer we can build a proper movie.  I am probably not the best one to comment on the part of the filmmaking but as a viewer I feel that a huge gap is forming when we are watching any of the movie from the DCEU. There are many qualities that are required to build a universe and among these qualities some are continuity, story and interlinks. Every single time I watch the DC TV shows on the televisions it seems that I am able to communicate with the characters of the TV Series. As if they are some person next door that you can meet and greet on a daily basis. B...

Padmaavat Full Movie Review

I am highly excited to be able to review this movie. The movie for which we have been waiting for months, hit the theatres on 25th of January. Ever since the announcement of the movie the country has seen many people vehemently protesting and making a scene out of it. Today I went to watch the movie. As expected the movie theatres are housefull. And why shouldn't it be the moviegoers have been waiting for this for quite a long time now and thus the eagerness grew more and more as the release date closed in. How was the movie? Well, to explain this I have divided this post into small segments for better understanding of the movie. Some segments of the movie was truly mesmerising but some were not really as per expectations. Visual Treat:   It is well known to all of us that any Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie are known for it costumes and set design and this movie is not any less to that. From the moment we are introduced to our lead characters till the end one...

Why we believe that the Hufflepuff is the Worst House-Explained

I am a Proud Gryffindor but very recently my brother got sorted in the Hufflepuff and was bummed out about that. So I went down in search for some facts about why the Hufflepuffs are considered to be the worst house...guess what I found. In the whole series hardly there is a mention about the Hufflepuffs being timid, foolish or naive, other than Draco and his mates insulting the House members. Rather there are instances of Hufflepuff being there for their friends like Cedric Diggory, Nymphadora Tonks and many more. But there is one person than other Draco who is the reason behind us believing that Hufflepuff is the worst house and it is none other than- RUBEUS HAGRID . Yes and I am not accusing our ol' friend but I have facts proving this theory. He is now trapped in his own lies.  My theory is that Hagrid's hatred for one person lead to him insulting the whole House but deep down inside he didn't hate the House itself. Everytime he heard Hufflepuff ...

Padmaavat: The History shall know

What happened in history after the release of the poem Padmaavat in the year 1540 is unknown to me but I am very sure that the movie Padmaavat releasing in the 21st Century is going down in books of history for certain. I have not yet seen the movie and thus wouldn't be able to comment about the onscreen drama but boy oh boy!! This movie is creating such a huge drama in few states. It is already known fact to the whole of the country by now,  if not,  then they must be living under a rock. What have we not seen by now- multiplex burning, archeological sites being closed to tourists, people committing suicides and what not. This is not just making any difference but rather is putting before the world a picture of disgust and hatred in the country. Just because one wants to protect their so called "rights" one cannot disregard the fact that India is not the only country present in this world. But there are 190 approx other countries who are able to see this unne...

Should FLASHPOINT Change the DCEU?

It is miserable to see how the DCEU have failed our expectations. Not only that but the big story that is running in the news is that the flashpoint would change the DCEU. But Should Flashpoint change DCEU? Here we are going to analyse what would it mean if the Flashpoint really changes the dynamics of DCEU. The DCEU is just four movies old and we are being thrown into the alternate timeline. Hardly any of the characters have been introduced nor have they been given proper storyline. We have known only four characters after Justice League i.e. Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Batman. I would not count Cyborg as he was hardly even shown in the movie. Then what would happen to these only four characters that we were introduced to and got familiar with. Lets take a look. MAN OF STEEL: (Superman)  We all agree that the Man of Steel is not the best onscreen depiction of Superman since it was created. The character who is known for being the symbol of 'Hope...

THEORY DEBUNKED: You Need to ASK to be in Gryffindor?

Image
I have been watching the Harry Potter theories for about three months now. But the most interesting theory that hit me was The Only Way to be Sorted into Gryffindor is to Ask. Most interestingly this theory has been proven to be right by many fans. Well  I am a Gryffindor after being very much SORTED INTO the House by the Sorting Hat in Pottermore from J. K. Rowling  and not ASK for it.  T his theory is undermining our House.     So today I am going to DEBUNK this theory. The following post contains some excerpt from the Harry Potter Books so if you have not read the books there might be SPOILERS AHEAD.  The Sorting Hat: Once you are sorted into the houses you belong to that particular house. And you always have to be sorted into the Houses by a magical sorting hat who when placed on your head is able to analyze your true potential and it sorts you in that particular house which your qualities closely relates to. But the real ques...
