Weekly Geeky Question #33: Modern Superhero Epic Movie History

Every week in 2018, the plan is that my friend Rod is going to ask me some geeky question that will answer in a post. This week is Week #33, and this week’s question is again about comic books and superheroes:

How did we get to the modern superhero movie?

Doctor Who: The Return of Dr. Mysterio & Comic Book Connections

So, it was a few weeks ago that we had Christmas, and that means a weeks ago that we had Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) and thus a few weeks since we had the first, last, best and worst new Doctor Who television story of 2016:  The Return of Dr. Mysterio.

And overall it was a good one.  Silly, but fun, and generally satisfying, even if the plot had a bit in common with that lamentable first season two-parter featuring the fat, farting Slitheen.

Man of Steel (the Movie, not the Comic)

Man of Steel is not the Superman movie we need, but it’s the Superman movie we deserve.
