• Marvel's Future Is Looking DARK!!

  Fantastic Four First Steps Trailer "Controversial Comment," Daredevil Born Again Episode 9 (Finale Spoiler Talk), Season 2 Theories, The Punisher Special, Fantastic Four "Controversial" Comments, & MORE!! In this spoiler-filled breakdown of Daredevil: Born Again Episode 9, Greg Alba, Coy Jandreau, and Aaron Alexander dive deep into what worked, what didn’t, and where the show could go in Season 2. We debate if Foggy Nelson is really dead, explore fan theories, and pitch wild but grounded ideas for what the upcoming Punisher Special could tackle — from Frank Castle's symbolism to real-world parallels involving police and power. Then we shift gears into Fantastic Four discourse, analyzing Joseph Quinn and Vanessa Kirby’s recent “controversial” quotes about Johnny Storm’s bravado and Sue Storm’s gender politics. Is Marvel avoiding real masculinity and nuance? What direction should they be taking? Plus: MCU tone shifts, comic accuracy vs. modernization, and which heroes might show up next season in Daredevil’s new army. We also unpack our MCU Disney+ rankings, talk character arcs from X-Men '97, Loki, WandaVision, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and reflect on the evolving state of superhero storytelling.

Fruitvale Station Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Fruitvale Station Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! In this emotional and powerful film, director Ryan Coogler’s feature debut brings to life the final day of Oscar Grant, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Black Panther), in a heartbreaking story based on real events. Joined by Octavia Spencer (The Help, Hidden Figures), Melonie Diaz (Charmed), and Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill, Freaky Friday), the film captures an unforgettable human story of injustice, family, and hope. Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) & Tara Erickson react to some of the most gut-wrenching scenes in the movie—including Oscar’s final moments, his interactions with his daughter, and the chilling BART station sequence. This film marked the beginning of a powerful collaboration between Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler, who went on to make Creed, Creed II (as a producer), Creed III (produced), Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together. Fruitvale Station remains a vital, emotionally raw viewing experience—and one that continues to resonate deeply over a decade later.
