Marvel Debuts New Black Widow Super Bowl Spot

The countdown to the MCU's first movie of Phase 4, Black Widow, is slowly ticking down so naturally, the promotional campaigns are ramping up--and what better time than the Super Bowl to debut a brand new 30-second spot for the upcoming film? The big game may have only just begun but Natasha has joined a slew of heavy-hitting franchises from F9 and Mulan to A Quiet Place 2.

In the clip, Natasha admits through voice-over that the Avengers weren't her first family and that, "at some point, we all have to choose between who the world wants you to be and who you are." She's, of course, referencing her time spent in the Red Room, the secret Russian training program responsible for Black Widow operatives like herself and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), which has only been vaguely explored through the eyes of the MCU since Natasha's entrance into the cinematic universe back in Iron Man 2. Along with Yelena, Black Widow will be exploring Natasha's connections with Red Guadian (David Harbour) and Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weiss).

The only real new footage not already shown in the trailer released late last year features the film's new villain, Taskmaster, displaying some very Captain America-flavored moves with his trademark "T" shield. This is definitely by design--though we may not know if it's actually Tony Masters (yes, that is his real name--comics!) under the mask in the MCU's version of the character, we can definitely assume the character's "super learning" combat skills will come into play in one way or another. In the comics, Taskmaster is able to learn any fighting style instantly just by seeing it one time, meaning it's more than possible for him to mimic not only Steve Rogers, but any other Avenger (or any other villain) with ease. Masters was even responsible for training US Agent to use the shield while he took over as Captain America in Steve's stead.

Black Widow hits theaters on May 1.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been...
