I love Spider-Man. Though I possess an intense hatred for arachnids, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the superhero their radioactive bite produced. There’s just something about Spider-Man — and specifically Peter Parker — that is undeniably endearing. I’ll always be a fan of his quips and nerdy sense of humor, of his sense of bravery […]
Welcome to the third installation of The Sorting Hat! This series was created because we enjoy imagining what would happen if characters from other fandoms were starting their first year at Hogwarts and needed to be sorted into the four houses. Sometimes it’s easy to sort someone, and other times (as you’ll see below) it takes compromise and campaigning. […]
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6th and we are EXCITED. In anticipation of the new movie we’re spending the next two weeks leading up to the release spotlighting the Marvel Universe. Captain America: Civil War, like the comic run it takes its name from, finds our heroes divided, falling into line […]
(Press play on the above track as you read this post. It’s what Ham would want.) If you haven’t noticed, all three of us here at Avenging Force are pretty into Pacific Rim. Teija and Sarah both list it as one of their favorite movies of all time, and we’ve been known to spend hours discussing […]
I’ve long since come to terms with the fact that the star Wars EU I grew up with has been regulated to Legends status (we even did an entire eu-logy for it on the Boldly Going Somewhere podcast). And I even started to get excited that the arrival of The Force Awakens was ushering in […]
It’s a good time to be a superhero nerd. We’re currently in the heyday of a superhero renaissance, with screen adaptations of beloved DC and Marvel characters exploding into theaters every other month, superhero TV shows dominating prime time, and even YA superhero novels being announced left and right. It used to be that the biggest actors of […]
Is anyone surprised that Star Wars broke the internet again? The (so-called teaser) trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hit the internet in the wee hours and fans immediately went insane. I’ll admit that prior to seeing the trailer I only had a moderate level of interest in this movie. However, props to the people who cut […]
First of all, I want to say how stoked I am to officially be joining Avenging Force! I’ve contributed to some posts in the past, and have left several dissertation-length thoughts down in the comments section, but am super excited to now be a bona fide Avenging Forcer. (Force Avenger? Hmm.) For my first non-guest post, […]
Welcome to the second installation of The Sorting Hat! This series was originally created because we enjoy sorting characters from other franchises as if they were starting their first year at Hogwarts with our friends, and this time we had such a great conversation about it that we decided to just clean it up for […]
