I vow to review all Marvel Movies, Shows and Games in under 280 characters, rated out of 5 Stars.

Marvel Legends Future Foundation Mr. Fantastic & Spider-Man 2-Pack, The Thing & Invisible Woman 2-Pack

These were sorely missing from my Jonathan Hickman Marvel toy collection. Sue's force bubbles are needlessly awkward and Ben redundantly has two angry heads. I love Reed's stretched fingers, but his bendy arms are a little stiff. Still, they all look fantastic.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Nintendo Wii

This is the same as the PS2 version. They lack the gore and healing effects. The character models are fine but everything else feels like an ugly, choppy PS1 game. Its all bad hit detection, loading in and out of small rooms, and instant loss quick time events.

Marvel Gold '76 (2026) 1

This feels targeted directly at my interests. It’s listed as 616 continuity, so this is the first time Nova and Star-Lord meet in their classic looks. Please tell me this means they’ve undone Bendis’ terrible retcon. Madibek Musabekov makes the retro costumes feel timeless.

Captain Marvel: Dark Past (2026) 1-5

After the hiatus I was anticipating a bold new direction. Unfortunately, this is just more of the same. Enough of the convoluted family drama already. She’s a colonel in desperate need of a character defining Annihilation War moment. The art was great though.

X-Men '97 Season 2, Episode 9

This finale had a lot of heavy lifting in order to successfully close this season. The action was fun but the fights felt low stakes outside of Cable. I don't like the direction of the Rogue and Gambit storyline this season, but the emotional ending paid off beautifully.

Finale: Aug 12, 2026

X-Men: Destiny on Xbox 360

This is an X-Men game where you can’t play as any of the classic characters, or even create your own. It’s ugly, clunky, has terrible sound mixing, bad direction and is padded with boring dialogue trees. The only compliment I can give is the notifications are dynamic.

Release: Sep 27, 2011

X-Men: Destiny on Nintendo DS

This has to be the dullest Marvel game ever made. Playing as a generic original character who throws purple balls at guys in different coloured shirts doesn't resemble X-Men in the least. It doesn't even have touch controls. The Ron Lim art is the only positive.

Release: Sep 27, 2011

X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Sony PSP

It's a clunky hack and slash with charmingly miniature levels. We visit Japan to fight The Hand in this version and Africa is much more realistic. Surprisingly, this one tells the best story by framing levels around William Stryker extracting Logan's memories.
