Jordan as Erik Killmonger BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS IT's time for a little history lesson, ok? So, a massive meteorite made of vibranium crashed into Africa Five tribes go to war over it until one warrior consumes a mysterious heart-shaped herb altered by the vibranium and gains incredible abilities, becoming the first Black Panther.  He unites the tribes and establishes the hidden nation of Wakanda. Over generations, Wakanda becomes the most technologically advanced civilization on Earth while hiding in plain sight. In 1992, King T'Chaka visits his younger brother, N'Jobu in California, where he has been working undercover. T'Chaka discovers that he has secretly helped a black-market arms dealer steal vibranium from Wakanda. When confronted, he turns violent, forcing T'Chaka to kill him. To protect Wakanda's secrets, T'Chaka abandons N'Jobu's young son in America and covers up the truth. Got it? Good. Years later, the King is killed and Prince T'Challa returns home to be crowned king of Wakanda. During the event, M'Baku of the Jabari Tribe challenges T'Challa for the throne in ritual combat. T'Challa wins but spares M'Baku's life. I'm sure that's for no reason though. Soon after, this dude name Claw shows up in London and steals an artifact from Wakanda at a Museum. Oh and some dude named Erik Stevens is with him. T'Challa goes to this party to try to capture Klaw but it doesn't go well and leads to a massive chase through the city.

Zuri tells T'Challa some juicy info about how they left this kid in Oakland with no father and that kid grew up to be Erik Stevens and he now goes by Killmonger cuz of how many people he's killed and he's probably coming for us so hide your kids, hide your wife.  Killmonger murders Claw and delivers his body to Wakanda, earning an audience before the tribal elders. Revealing himself as son of N'Jobu and wants to challenge for the throne. T'Challa agrees and loses and is thrown off a waterfall cliff.  He is now the king.  Killmonger prepares to send vibranium weapons to operatives around the world to begin a global revolution. T'Challa's family leaves to asks M'Baku for help. Turns out, he has T'Challa on ice b ut in a good way. They use the heart-shaped herb to bring him back and restore his powers.  T'Challa returns to Wakanda for a final battle. T'Challa and Killmonger have a creazy fight and T'Challa is able to disable Killmonger suit. T'Challa offers Killmonger a change to live but he choses death instead, but T'Challa lets him watch one last sunset.  T'Challa decides Wakanda can no longer hide from the world. He opens an outreach center in Oakland at the very place where N'Jobu died. T'Challa then appears before the United Nations and reveals Wakanda's true technological power to the world.  And then to connect it all to the Avengers, his sister Shuri helps Bucky Barnes continue his recovery in Wakanda.

The demon claims it will only occur when his crown is reunited with the Eternal Flame. Thor is like ok cool, then he breaks free, defeats the demon, and takes the crown, convinced he's just saved Asgard from its fate. Back home, things are… off. Idris Elba is missing, and “Odin” is acting suspiciously theatrical, literally have plays put on about the story of Thor and Loki and Asgard. Shocker, it's actually Loki in disguise. Thor forces Loki to come clean, and with help from Doctor Strange, they track down the real Odin in Norway.  There, Odin reveals the truth: he's dying, and his passing will unleash Hela, his long-hidden firstborn daughter. Once the ruthless leader of Asgard's armies, Hela was erased from history when her hunger for power became too much—even for Odin. Odin dies. Hela arrives. And within minutes, she destorys thor's hammer like it's nothing. Loki is like UH OH BRING US BACK which opens the portal to get them home. But Hela hops in and  knocks them out of the portal into space. She returns to Asgard, quickly conquers it, kills people, and does alot of bad stuff.   Meanwhile, Thor crash-lands on Sakaar—a chaotic junk planet ruled by the eccentric Grandmaster. Captured and enslaved by a scrapper known as 142 (who actually used to be Valkyrie), Thor is forced into gladiator combat… where he comes face-to-face with none other than Hulk. Thor nearly wins using newfound lightning powers, but the Grandmaster rigs the fight, keeping Hulk his champion. Still in jail, Thor tries to rally Hulk and Valkyrie to help save Asgard, but neither is interested—until a series of events, including a recording from Natasha Romanoff, brings Bruce Banner back. Valkyrie finally agrees to help, and with Loki involved, they steal a ship, spark a gladiator uprising and make their escape. Back on Asgard, Hela's forces are closing in on the remaining citizens. It's not looking good.. Thor shows up to confronts Hela but realizes the truth: she's too powerful to defeat. After losing his eye in battle, Thor has a vision of Odin that changes everything—Ragnarök isn't something to prevent… it's the only way to stop Hela. Thor makes sure to fulfill the prophecy—destroying Asgard and killing Hela in the process. With their home gone but their people alive, Thor—now king—leads the Asgardians aboard a stolen ship, finally reconciling with Loki and setting a course for Earth… only to be interrupted by a massive, looming spacecraft waiting in their path.

Their old teacher, The Ancient One, tries to stop them, but they get away.  Then we meet Dr. Stephen Strange. He's a world-famous neurosurgeon, rich, brilliant, and incredibly egotistical. On his way to an event, he gets in a crazy car crash and destroys his hands, which is a real problem when your hands are your entire personality. His friend Christine Palmer tries to help him heal, but Stephen would rather burn through all his money chasing miracle cures. Eventually, he hears about a guy who was paralyzed and can now walk again, which sends him all the way to Nepal. There, he meets Mordo and The Ancient One, who show him that they have the ability to heal him and give him a little mystical mind- tour through dimensions, astral projection. Stephen is all in. At first they say no and kick him out but ultimately agree to let him study as long as he humbles himself. So now Strange is studying the mystic arts.  He also meets Wong, the librarian who gives him the rundown on everything. He learns that Earth is being protected by three magical Sanctums in New York, London, and Hong Kong, and if those fall, bad things happen. Strange speeds through his studies and starts sneaking around reading forbidden texts. Naturally, this leads him to discovering the Eye of Agamotto, which can manipulate time. Meanwhile, Kaecilius—the guy who stole the pages—is trying to summon Dormammu, a giant dark-space demon who promises eternal life in a timeless dimension He destroys the London Sanctum and then attacks the New York one. Strange, with help from a magical cape, manages to fight back. But he gets stabbed and has to literally astral-project himself to the hospital so Christine can save his life during surgery.. Back at magic HQ, Strange learns that The Ancient One has been pulling energy from the Dark Dimension this whole time to stay alive, and Mordo is not thrilled to find out his mentor has been doing morally gray immortality stuff behind everyone's back. Kaecilius attacks again and The Ancient One gets fatally wounded, and before she dies, she tells Strange and Mordo they need each. So Strange and Mordo head to Hong Kong, only to find the place completely wrecked, Wong dead, and the Dark Dimension swallowing Earth. IT's not looking good. But... Strange reverse time, fixes the destruction, saves Wong, and then goes to bargain with Dormammu. How does he do that? Well, he traps himself and Dormammu in an endless time loop and basically just annoys him into surrendering. In the end, Mordo is so disgusted by all the rule-bending and cosmic loopholes that he quits being a sorcerer and storms off. Strange returns the Eye, which, surprise, is actually an Infinity Stone—and decides to hang around in the New York Sanctum with Wong, continuing his wizard training and learning more about the unknown.

It's Marvel Monday and the Avengers are torn apart! ABOUT CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Political involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR May 6, 2016 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Joe Simon Producers: Kevin Feige, Victoria Alonso, Louis D'Esposito Cast: Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon Don Cheadle as Lieutenant James Rhodes/War Machine Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Paul Bettany as Vision Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Daniel Brühl as Zemo BRAN'S CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR SYNOPSIS It's 1991 and Bucky Barnes is out here being brainwashed and doing bad stuff, snagging some super solder serum.  Cut to the present and the Avengers are doing an Avengers thing in Lagos.

It's Marvel Monday and we're shrinking down to size! ABOUT ANT-MAN Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, pull off a plan that will save the world. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ANT-MAN July 17, 2015 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF ANT-MAN Director: Peyton Reed Writers: Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish, Adam McKay Cast: Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/Yellowjacket Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Back in 1989, Hank Pym is working with S.H.I.E.L.D. until he finds out they're trying to copy his shrinking technology, and he's like, “Absolutely not, y'all are way too shady for tiny science.” So he quits and decides nobody gets the shrink suit on his watch. Fast forward to the present and Hank's life is not going great. His daughter Hope is mad at him, his former protégé Darren Cross has basically stolen his company, and Cross is this close to making his own terrifying murder-shrinking suit called Yellowjacket. Hank sees this and is like, “Cool, this is really bad” and does not sign off on it but Darren doesn't care. Meanwhile, we meet Scott Lang, a lovable ex-con whose main personality trait is that he's trying really hard. He gets out of prison, moves in with his buddy Luis, and wants to be a good dad to his daughter Cassie. Unfortunately, society has decided once you've gone to jail you're only allowed to work at Baskin-Robbins for like six minutes before getting fired. He tries to visit Cassie, but his ex Maggie and her cop fiancé Paxton are like, “Maybe pay child support before doing surprise pop-ins, my guy.” So naturally, Scott does what any struggling dad trying to get his life together would do: he agrees to do one more burglary. His buddy Luis tells him about this rich old dude's house with a big safe, so Scott breaks in, cracks the safe, and finds… a weird leather motorcycle suit. Not cash. Not jewels. He takes it home, puts it on, and immediately shrinks down to bug-size and nearly dies in a bathtub and getting stomped on at a party, all while some voice talks to him in his mask. Terrified, Scott decides to return the suit, but on his way out he gets arrested. cuz thief. But surprise! The whole thing was a setup by Hank Pym, who wanted to see if Scott had the skills to become the new Ant-Man. He tells Scott that if he wants to help and also get out of the jail, to put back on the suit. It works and he shrinks again and sneaks out.. Hank recruits Scott to help steal the Yellowjacket tech before Darren Cross can sell it to evil people, which, spoiler alert, he absolutely plans to do. So now Scott enters the classic superhero training montage portion of the movie where he learns hand-to-hand combat, how to use the suit, and most importantly, how to command ants like some kind of tiny bug king. Hope, meanwhile, is clearly way more qualified for all of this and would obviously be better at the job, but Hank refuses to let her do it because he's still deeply traumatized over what happened to her mother Janet. We learn Janet was the original Wasp and got lost in the Quantum Realm years ago while stopping a missile, which is both sad and also the most comic-book sentence imaginable. To prep for the big heist, Scott needs a special device, which means he has to sneak into Avengers headquarters. This leads to a random but delightful side quest where he fights Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, and somehow wins mostly by being annoying and tiny. It's one of those MCU moments where the movie just casually reminds you, “Oh right, this all technically connects.” Then it's time for the big finale. Darren Cross unveils the Yellowjacket at Pym Technologies during a fancy event, and Scott and the crew break in to stop the sale. Luis and the gang somehow become essential parts of the mission despite being, at best, wildly underqualified. Scott sneaks in with a whole army of ants, plants explosives, and tries to steal the suit. But Cross is ready for them because of course he is, and he captures Scott, Hank, and Hope. He reveals he's planning to sell the tech to Hydra, because if there's one thing Hydra loves, it's tiny fascism. Things go sideways fast, but Scott and Hope fight back, the building starts collapsing, and Hank gets shot because apparently old men in Marvel are legally required to get wounded in the third act. Scott chases Cross, who puts on the Yellowjacket suit and becomes a full-on flying nightmare. Their final battle somehow goes from high-tech corporate warfare to a fight in Cassie's bedroom, which is honestly one of the best visual gags in the whole movie. Trains are crashing, Thomas the Tank Engine is involved, and to Cassie it probably just looks like two dads having a nervous breakdown. When Cross takes Cassie hostage, Scott has no choice but to do the one thing Hank warned him never to do: override the regulator and shrink beyond human comprehension into the Quantum Realm. Which sounds fake, but in this movie is very real and extremely stressful. Scott manages to sabotage Yellowjacket from the inside, Cross gets absolutely obliterated, and somehow Scott finds his way back from the Quantum Realm because apparently he's just built different. After saving literally everyone, Scott finally gets a win. Paxton decides maybe this guy isn't so bad after all and helps keep him out of prison. Hank realizes that if Scott could survive the Quantum Realm, maybe Janet could still be alive. Hope gets teased with her own Wasp suit, which everyone in the audience immediately wanted to see instead, and Luis pops back in at the end to say Falcon is looking for Scott because once you do one weird tiny mission, suddenly the Avengers are texting.

It's Marvel Monday and the Avengers are back to face their greatest threat yet(?)! ABOUT AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON When Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON May 1, 2015 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Director: Joss Whedon Writers: Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby Cast: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Hemsworth as Thor Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye James Spader as Ultron Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Paul Bettany as Jarvis/Vision Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Meet the Avengers — back together again because apparently no one else can handle a simple “let's raid a HYDRA base” situation. Their mission? Break into Baron von Strucker's operation, stop some deeply concerning human experimentation, and get Loki's scepter back where it belongs. Easy enough… until they run into Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, a pair of enhanced twins with super speed, mind games, and enough power to make everyone very uncomfortable. After recovering the scepter, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner do what Tony Stark and Bruce Banner always do: they mess with something they absolutely should not mess with. Hidden inside the scepter is the advanced intelligence they think can finally complete Ultron, a global peacekeeping program Tony has been dreaming about. Unfortunately, Ultron wakes up with exactly one idea in mind: humanity has got to go. He destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., wrecks Avengers Tower, steals the scepter, and heads out to build himself a better future… one without people in it. Ultron recruits Wanda and Pietro by showing them Tony's greatest hits in collateral damage, and together they set out to collect vibranium for whatever nightmare project he's cooking up. When the Avengers try to stop them, Wanda gets inside everyone's heads and forces them to confront their worst fears. Things really go off the rails when she manipulates Bruce into becoming the Hulk in the middle of a city, leaving Tony to suit up in the Hulkbuster armor and punch his friend through several buildings. Not great for public relations. With the team shaken, divided, and freshly hated by the public, Hawkeye brings everyone to the one place no one saw coming: his secret farmhouse, where he casually reveals that he has a wife, kids, and a whole hidden life none of them knew about. It's a surprisingly grounding stop for a team on the verge of collapse, and it gives them just enough clarity to realize Ultron's plan is much bigger than they thought. Once Wanda sees that he's not trying to save the world but end it, she and Pietro switch sides and join the Avengers. Things escalate quickly when Ultron kidnaps Natasha, forcing the team into another rescue while also arguing over whether they should trust the strange new synthetic body Tony and Bruce have been building. Thor returns just in time to supercharge the process, explaining that the gem in Loki's scepter is tied to something far more powerful: the Infinity Stones. The result is Vision, a mysterious new being who immediately earns everyone's trust by casually lifting Thor's hammer like it's no big deal. The final showdown takes the team to Sokovia, where Ultron has used vibranium to turn an entire chunk of the city into a floating extinction-level weapon. If he can lift it high enough and drop it, humanity is done. So naturally, the Avengers split up to save civilians, battle an endless robot army, rescue Natasha, and stop the apocalypse all at once. Nick Fury even shows up in a Helicarrier because if the sky city is going down, he's not about to miss it. The battle comes at a cost. Pietro sacrifices himself to save Hawkeye and a child, Wanda unleashes her grief in spectacular fashion, and Hulk ultimately chooses to disappear rather than risk hurting Natasha or anyone else again. In the end, Tony and Thor destroy Sokovia before it can wipe out the planet, and Vision finishes off Ultron for good — or at least as “for good” as these things ever are. By the end, the original team has changed. Thor heads back to Asgard to investigate the larger cosmic mystery. Tony steps away. Hawkeye retires. And Steve Rogers and Natasha are left to train a new generation of Avengers, including War Machine, Falcon, Wanda, and Vision. And just when you think it's over, Thanos puts on a gauntlet and basically says, “Fine. I'll do it myself.

He uses this device to see what used to be on the planet. He takes his mask off and we see it's Peter all grown up, still a big fan of music. He tries to steal this orb thing but is taken by guys. Ultimately, he's able to escape, orb in hand. Yondu, the guy who abducted Peter way back when, finds out that Peter stole the orb and puts a bounty out for him. Bad guy Ronan also finds out the orb was taken and sends an assassin named Gamora after him. But that's not allllll - bounty hunters Rocket (a raccoon) and Groot (a tree) see him and decide to go after him when they find out how much his bounty is worth. Peter tries to sell the orb but it doesn't work. Gamora is waiting for him as he walks out and takes the orb. A fight breaks out which is a good time for Rocket and Groot to jump in on the fight. They all end up getting arrested. While in prison, they meet a guy named Drax who is known for killing associates of Ronan, so he's got his sights on Gamora. Peter stops him from killing her by hatching an idea - let her take you to Ronan to kill him. Gamora explains that she's actually betrayed Ronan and intended to sell the orb. Together, they're able to escape. We then see Ronan talking to Gamora's dad, Thanos, about her betrayal. He sends his other daughter (who he loves less), Nebula, to go get her back. So they take the orb to a dude who can open it. Turns out, inside is the Infinity Stone. So that's not great. Nebula shows up and destroys Gamora's ship while Ronan's fighters capture the Orb. Peter sees Gamora out there floating in space about to die. So he goes out there and gives her his helmet so that he can pull her back into his ship. So, Peter & Co. know that facing Ronan will not turn out well but that they cannot let him use the Infinity Stone. So they need to hatch a plan. Speaking of which, Ronan puts the Stone in his warhammer, taking its power for himself. Nebula, hating her dad, agrees to team up with him. So the squad decides to team up with Yondu and co. to stop Ronan. Ronan pulls up and just starts absolutely wrecking their fleet like it's nothing. Inside the ship, Drax gets his revenge moment, Gamora and Nebula have their sister fight, and everyone quickly realizes… oh no, we are in over our heads. Peter decides the best way to stop him is… a dance-off distraction which gives Drax and Rocket just enough time to destroy Ronan's hammer. Peter grabs the Infinity Stone, which should absolutely kill him—but plot twist! His friends grab onto him, they all share the power of friendship, and together they vaporize Ronan. The group officially becomes the Guardians of the Galaxy, their records get wiped clean, and Quill learns he's only half human which is why the Infinity Stone didn't kill him. Finally, Peter opens the last gift from his mom: a new mixtape. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

It's Marvel Monday and we're diving into the realm of Asgard! ABOUT THOR: THE DARK WORLD When the Dark Elves attempt to plunge the universe into darkness, Thor must embark on a perilous and personal journey that will reunite him with doctor Jane Foster. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THOR: THE DARK WORLD October 9, 2013 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF THOR: THE DARK WORLD Chris Hemsworth as Thor Natalie Portman as Jane Foster Tom Hiddleston as Loki Anthony Hopkins as Odin BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Loki is in troubleeeee. Daddy Odin is mad at him. Loki is like I just wanted to rule Earth as a benevolent god. What's the big deal? Odin tells him he should have him killed but instead, he'll just be imprisoned. Thor is doing Thor stuff, fighting off rock monsters and stuff with his buddies. When he gets back to Asgard, Odin tells him the time has come for him to get over Jane Foster and become king. Speaking of Jane Foster, she's in London, trying to eat with a dude but she can't stop thinking about Thor. Darcy shows up to tell her that the numbers and graphs and stuff are going nuts! They head to where the readings are happening and it takes them to an abandoned warehouse where there seems to be some sort of weird teleportation portal that is opening and closing at random. She gets sucked into the portal. While this is happening, Thor is talking to Idris Elba who is supposed to be keeping an eye on her and he's like oh weird, I actually can't see her right now. So he goes to Earth to check on her. By the time he gets there, she's now returned back to Earth. She's shocked to find out that it's been 5 hours. She sees Thor and smacks him a couple times for taking so long. The cops show up and try to arrest her for trespassing. When he touches her, this like red light radiates from her and sends them flying. Realizing that something is going on with her, Thor grabs her and transports them to Asgard to do some tests. Odin sees what's going on with her and is like oh yea I know what's up. That's dark elf-ish. It's called the Aether. And it's bad. Thor explains, every 5000 years, the 9 realms align and it causes the portals between these realms to get a bit wonky. So that's how she fell through that portal. But when she interacted with the Aether, she awakened Malekith - a dark elf who is up to no good. They attack Asgard and kill Thor's mom, Frigga, in the process of protecting Jane from them. Thor immediately wants revenge but Odin tells him to wait - they'll be back because we still have the Aether. Thor doesn't want to wait. So he asks Loki to help. Luckily, he knows about a secret portal to Svartalfheim, where they will use Jane to lure and confront Malekith, away from Asgard. In return, Thor promises Loki vengeance on Malekith for killing their mother. While in transport, Thor and Loki have a heart to heart. They yell at each other. They love each other. Classic brother stuff. There, Loki tricks Malekith into drawing the Aether out of Jane, but Thor's attempt to destroy the exposed substance fails. Malekith merges with the Aether and leaves in his ship. Loki is real hurt, on the verge of death. Thor is like I'll tell Dad you didn't suck after all. Afterwards, Thor and Jane discover another portal in a nearby cave and reunite in London with Darcy and Jane's mentor Dr. Erik Selvig who was kinda going crazy but he's fine. Jane knows about Malekith's plan to destroy the universe. Thor starts going through all these portals when Malekith ends up on Earth. Thor returns just in time to help transport Malekith away from Earth where he is crushed by his own ship that was also being transported at the same time. Thor returns to Asgard, where he declines Odin's offer to take the throne and tells Odin of Loki's sacrifice. As he leaves, Odin's form transforms to that of a grinning Loki. UH OHHHHHHH.

Another Marvel Monday is here! Let's kick off the week with Iron Man 3. ABOUT IRON MAN 3 When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR IRON MAN 3 May 3, 2013 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF IRON MAN 3 Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts Don Cheadle as Colonel James Rhodes/War Machine Rebecca Hall as Maya Hansen Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We're back in 1999 in Switzerland on New Year's Eve. Tony Stark is hanging out with scientist Maya Hansen, who's showing him some new experimental regenerative tech called Extremis. It's supposed to heal the human body — but there's a big problem with it: sometimes it explodes. Also at the party, Tony gets approached by Aldrich Killian, who awkwardly pitches him on joining his company, Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM). Tony blows him off in the most Tony way possible — tells him to meet on the roof later and then never shows up because he's too busy with Maya. Cut to the present day, and Tony is not doing great. Ever since the alien invasion in New York, he's been having nonstop panic attacks. He barely sleeps, he keeps building new Iron Man suits, and it's putting serious strain on his relationship with Pepper — especially when he accidentally summons a suit in his sleep and it crashes down on top of her. One day Killian shows up to Stark Industries to pitch Pepper on AIM's tech. She's impressed but can tell it's clearly headed toward becoming a weapon, so she turns him down. Happy overhears the meeting and gets bad vibes from Killian and his associate, Eric Savin, so he starts following them. Happy tails Savin into a crowded market and watches him hand off a briefcase to a military veteran. Inside are these weird glowing capsules that look like drugs or something. Happy confronts the guy, things get physical, and that's when he realizes Savin is basically a human weapon. It ends horribly — there's a massive explosion, and Happy is left critically injured in the hospital. A terrorist known as the Mandarin takes credit for the blast, along with several others around the country. Furious about what happened to Happy, Tony goes on live TV, calls out the Mandarin, and — in a truly terrible decision — gives him his home address. Yeah. That backfires immediately. Before the attack, Maya Hansen shows up trying to warn Tony about something, but she doesn't get the chance. Moments later, helicopters roll in and absolutely level Tony's Malibu mansion. Pepper barely survives, and Tony escapes in a new prototype suit that runs out of power mid-flight and crash-lands in rural Tennessee. The world assumes Iron Man is dead. Stranded with a half-working suit, Tony meets a smart kid named Harley who helps him regroup. Together they investigate the site of a nearby Mandarin explosion, and Tony starts noticing a pattern: all the victims are military veterans connected to AIM. After hacking into AIM's systems, Tony learns the truth — the "bombings" aren't terrorist attacks at all. They're caused by failed Extremis experiments. Some people's bodies reject it and literally blow up, and Killian has been covering it up by framing the "Mandarin". Savin tracks Tony down and attacks him, giving him his first real look at how powerful Extremis is. Following the trail to Miami, Tony storms the Mandarin's hideout using homemade weapons since he still doesn't have a working suit — only to discover the Mandarin isn't a mastermind terrorist at all. He's just a clueless British actor named Trevor who was hired to play the role, created by Killian to have someone to blame. Killian then kidnaps Pepper and injects her with Extremis, planning to use her as leverage to force Tony to help perfect the tech. When Maya changes her mind and tries to stop him, Killian kills her real bad. Killian also lures Rhodey — now rebranded as the Iron Patriot — into a trap and steals his armor. Using it, Killian kidnaps the President right off Air Force One in a staged "Mandarin" attack. Tony manages to remotely save some passengers, but the President is taken. The plan? Kill the President live on TV and install the Vice President — who Killian has been secretly giving Extremis to — as a puppet leader. With Tony & Rhodey teaming up, Rhodes rescues the President while Tony goes after Pepper. Tony calls in all of his Iron Man suits that he has been creating while not sleeping and they swarm the platform in an all-out battle. Pepper survives the Extremis procedure and turns out to be incredibly powerful, but during the fight she falls into the flames below, and Tony thinks she's dead. Tony confronts Killian and traps him in a suit that self-destructs — but it still doesn't finish him off. And since the explosion didn't kill Killian, maybe the explosion didn't kill Pepper. That's right - Pepper's alive. Extremis healed her and gave her super strength, and she uses it to finally kill Killian for good. After the fight, Tony has JARVIS destroy all of his Iron Man suits, Pepper's Extremis is stabilized, and Tony finally has the shrapnel removed from his chest. But he'll always be….IRON Man 3.

All Steve wants more than anything is to be in the Army, but he's rejected due to being a tiny boy. Dr. Abraham Erskine overhears Steve talking to his buddy Bucky Barnes about how badly he wants to serve his country, so he allows Rogers to enlist.What Steve doesn't know is that Dr. Erskine is interested in Steve for something called the "super-soldier" experiment under Erskine, along with British MI6 agent Peggy Carter. Once Steve selflessly jumps on a grenade as part of a test, they know he's their guy. Erskine tells Rogers that Schmidt once took a prototype version of the super-soldier formula that gave him superhuman strength but painfully changed his appearance. So, ya know, keep that in mind.It's lab time. Steve gets hooked up to this equipment and injected with all sorts of stuff and then put into this chamber. He's yelling and screaming but tells them to keep going. Once over, Steve comes out of the chamber and is frickin' jacked.Turns out Schmidt sent an assassin to kill Erskine who gets away in a car. But Steve is now a super soldier, so he just races him down by running after him.

Everyone assumes Steve Rogers died after they ultimately find the Tesseract on the ocean floor.Steve wakes up in a 1940s-style hospital room.

It's time for a new Marvel Monday episode with the 2011 Thor.ABOUT THORThe powerful but arrogant god Thor is cast out of Asgard to live amongst humans in Midgard (Earth), where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THORMay 6, 2011 | TheatersCAST & CREW OF THORChris Hemsworth as Thor Anthony Hopkins as Odin  Natalie Portman as Jane Foster Tom Hiddleston as Loki Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis Clark Gregg as Agent CoulsonBRAN'S THOR SYNOPSISThree scientists — Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, and Darcy Lewis — are driving a van through the desert when they witness a lightning storm forming. Jane isn't surprised, though, because she believes she can predict the appearance of wormholes. Suddenly, the van hits a man. He's hot. And breathing.We're then given some historical context. In 965 AD, the Frost Giants invaded Earth in Norway, using the Tesseract in hopes of taking over the planet. Luckily, the Asgardians showed up, forced the Frost Giants to retreat, and took the Tesseract with them.We learn that Odin is telling this story to his two sons — one blond, one dark-haired — explaining that both are worthy, but only one can be king. A classic way to pit two brothers against each other. That always ends well!Flash forward to present day: Asgard is pumped because blond-headed Thor is about to be crowned king. And wouldn't you know it — Loki is insanely jealous.Before Thor can be crowned, the Frost Giants break into the vault that houses the Casket of Ancient Winters. Thor loses it. He flips a giant table and demands retaliation. Odin says no and reminds him that he is not king yet.Thor says “heard that” and immediately travels through a portal to confront the Frost Giants himself. A fight breaks out. Loki discovers that the Frost Giants can't harm him — his skin even turns blue like theirs. Odin shows up, stops the battle, apologizes to the Frost Giant king, and brings everyone home.Odin is furious with Thor. He strips him of his powers and banishes him to Earth, where he crash-lands in the desert and gets hit by a car — bringing us back to the beginning.Thor wakes up acting completely unhinged (by Earth standards), so the locals tase him and take him to the hospital. He escapes, only for Jane to hit him with her car again. They start spending time together and discover a mysterious “satellite crash.” Thor immediately knows it's his hammer.Unfortunately, the area is now under government control. Thor still tries to retrieve the hammer, but fails — he can't lift it.Back in Asgard, Thor's friends suspect Loki has been up to no good. Loki confronts Odin and learns the truth: he isn't Asgardian at all, but a Frost Giant taken as a baby and raised by Odin. Loki does not take this well, yells at Odin, and the stress sends Odin into a deep magical sleep. Loki is now acting king.Loki travels to Earth and lies to Thor, claiming Odin is dead and Thor can never return to Asgard. Thor tells Jane the truth about who he is — and she handles it shockingly well.We then learn it was Loki who secretly let the Frost Giants into Asgard earlier, setting everything in motion. Loki makes a deal with them: they can return to Asgard to kill Odin and reclaim the Casket, and in return they'll leave peacefully.Loki sends the Destroyer — a giant murder robot — to Earth to kill Thor. Thor helps evacuate civilians and then confronts the Destroyer, offering his life in exchange for the humans' safety while Loki watches from Asgard.The Destroyer responds by basically killing him.But Thor's selfless sacrifice proves he is worthy. His hammer flies out of the ground straight into his hand, restoring his powers and armor. Thor defeats the Destroyer and tries to return to Asgard, promising Jane he'll come back for her.Thor confronts Loki, and they battle on the Bifrost bridge. The bridge collapses, Odin saves Thor, and Loki — clinging to Odin's staff — finally lets go and falls into the void.Dead???All is well in Asgard, but not in Thor's heart, because he misses Jane. Don't worry though — she's got a new lab and is determined to find him again.In the post-credits scene, Erik Selvig is brought to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility where Nick Fury reveals a mysterious glowing cube and asks Selvig to study it. We then see Loki secretly influencing Selvig's mind.Nothing ominous about that at all. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

We meet Ivan Vanko, who is attempting to build an arc reactor like the one keeping Tony alive. His father, Anton Vanko, helped create the original arc reactor prototype alongside Tony's dad, Howard Stark.Six months later, Stark is constantly bragging that his Iron Man armor is helping maintain world peace. He's summoned to a government hearing where officials demand that he turn over the Iron Man technology. Tony's rival, Justin Hammer—now the military's main defense contractor—is also there. Hammer presents evidence showing that foreign nations are close to developing their own versions of Iron Man suits. Stark refuses to hand over the technology, insisting that other countries and competitors (including Hammer Industries) are decades away from recreating his work and that the armor is his personal property.Meanwhile, the core in the arc reactor that keeps Stark alive and powers the armor is slowly poisoning him. Believing he's running out of time, Tony suddenly names Pepper Potts the new CEO of Stark Industries and hires someone named Natasha Rushman as her replacement.After discovering he's more than 50% poisoned, Stark impulsively decides to drive in a Formula 1 race. Mid-race, Vanko shows up and attacks Tony with electrified whip weapons. The fight is intense, but Tony uses the Iron Man suit to defeat Vanko, who is arrested. However, Justin Hammer has Vanko's death faked and breaks him out of prison, recruiting him to help take Stark down.Feeling overwhelmed by his impending death, Tony throws himself a birthday party and gets completely wasted while wearing the Iron Man suit, showing off party tricks to random guests.

Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., arrives and asks to talk. He reveals that “Natasha Rushman” is actually undercover agent Natasha Romanoff.

With J.A.R.V.I.S.'s help, he successfully synthesizes it, curing himself and upgrading his arc reactor.Meanwhile, Vanko refuses to build traditional combat suits for Hammer, instead creating a fleet of armored drones. Hammer, annoyed but desperate, rolls with the idea and plans to debut them at the Stark Expo.Vanko contacts Stark, revealing that he's still alive and promising revenge.

We're back with another episode of Marvel Mondays! Christy's surly tween, Nicolas, agreed to sit down with her to discuss “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” The original “Doctor Strange” (2016) was a favorite of ours among all of the MCU movies, so we had high hopes, but ended up with mixed reviews. Nic and Christy talk about Sam Raimi's style, Wanda's motivation, America Chavez, the many characters and storylines that get woven in here and where they'd rank the “Doctor Strange” sequel within the franchise. Thanks as always for joining us, and we'll be back in July with a Marvel Monday discussion of “Thor: Love and Thunder”!

On today's episode, Dylan reviews the first reactions to Moon Knight and the trailer for Ms. Marvel. Stay tuned after the ad break for the latest leaks from the Multiverse of Madness mid/post-credit scenes. Where is the Thor: Love and Thunder trailer?

It's Monday, we are talking a Marvel show... can mean only one thing... It's Marvel Monday once again on our podcast!  Welcome to this weeks episode breakdown where we are discussing the fourth installment of the Disney+ live action Marvel series; Hawkeye. This week we are thrilled to see the LARP group again in addition to the many subtle "branding" jokes laid on Clint from Kate.  We also see a great scene where Kate brings Christmas to her hero and of course there is that rather awesome cameo... will she appear again or was that it?  We shall have to wait and see.  Only two episodes remain.... which sucks... however we will enjoy them for sure. We hope as always that you all enjoy the show!

On today's episode, Dylan dissects the first three episodes of Hawkeye. He goes over the newest Spiderman: No Way Home trailer. Dylan finally watched Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse and teases the new first look for Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.

It is Monday and therefore that can mean only one thing on our show; Marvel time... Marvel Monday continues with our discussion of Hawkeye Episode Three. Much like the opening two episodes we enjoyed it, a lot of fun and action but this week we got a hint at a character.. maybe... we got to meet someone who has their own show already slated for Disney+ in the future and a bit more Ronin backstory - he really did kill everyone he deemed unworthy of still being alive after the snap! We hope you enjoy the show!

Marvel Monday continues to roll here on our podcast and this week we are delighted to be talking about Hawkeye! Episodes one and two dropped together and much like Santa down a chimney, it was a lot of Christmas fun! We hope you enjoy our breakdown and be sure to listen each Monday as we discuss the show episode by episode. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StuffandThangsPodcast

Welcome to Marvel Monday here on our podcast! Today we are discussing the Disney+ original animated show; What If. The show interested us greatly when announced and sounded a lot of fun, expecting it to be just stand alone however now it appears that its actually heavily linked into phase four of the MCU and in that is not the show we were expecting. We discuss our likes and dislikes and look ahead to how it links to the MCU and season two of the show that has been confirmed.
