Why Avengers Infinity War Will Smash Box Office Records


We are just one month away from The Greatest Super Hero Team up of all time. the expectations are high especially after Black Panther shattered Box Office records and especially after The second trailer crashed the internet. Some say that this movie will face the same fate as Star Wars the Last Jedi but i beg to differ.


The Last Jedi released in December 2017,during the holiday season and one week after it released,The Rock's Jumanji and Hugh Jackman's the Greatest Showman followed suit one week after. So competition was sky high and despite getting good reviews,the movie still failed to top the Force awakens record. This was mainly because of Jumanji and TGS doing well in the Box Offices worldwide.


Infinity War on the other hand,has no competition almost the entire month of May as Deadpool 2 and Jurassic World 2 are all only arriving in June while Rampage (yes its him again the Freak-in! Rock Dwayne Johnson) is releasing early April 2 weeks before IW. So like Black Panther,Infinity War has the chance to Blow up the Box Office for a month. By then it may have already beaten the previous records set by Avengers 1 and 2.


Judging from the trailer,it looks to be a well made film and it has put the spotlight not just on the good guys (the Avengers and Guardians of course!),it has also put full focus on Thanos the main baddie that has been built up for almost 5 years and boy does he deliver (in the trailer's at least). Not just Thanos but also his Black order (Ebony Maw,Cull Obsidean,Proxima Midnight and Corvious Graive.


As we witnessed in the trailer,it will be interesting to see how Thor recovers after probably all he civilians and his Brother Loki are slayed by Thanos and co. How Thor meets up the Guardians and also How Hulk ends up crash landing in Dr Strange's Sanctuary Sanctum.


It is also interesting to know if Thor actually makes his new weapon ...the Stormbreaker Axe or if it was passed on to him by someone (Beta Ray Bill maybe?...hey one can always dream right?). Also Iron man and Spider man's suits are amazing,the Bleeding Edge and Iron Spider Armor Rocks.



Black panther and Wakanda will justify the Box Office Victory as the mega battle finally happens in Wakanda and it will feature Okore,Mbaku,Ramonda,Ayo and Shuri and maybe even Agent Ross.Its also fascinating to see how Shuri perhaps fixes an ailing Vision who's Mind Stone is Ripped off by Thanos and Co.Its interesting to see how he survives.



The banter between Spider man and Dr strange was nice (Typical Marvel) as was the one with Star Lord and Iron Man. Its interesting at which point the Guardians team up with the Avengers. Meanwhile Talks of Deaths are aplenty so that alone will create a lot of Hype and expectation.



All in All,with no competition in its way,and with so much of factors to look  forward to (as stated above),I know that Avengers Infinity War will crown the Ultimate victory for the Comic Book genre in the worldwide box office. Do not miss to storm the theathres and help the movie break records




April 27 is the time and Day....History will be made........Just wait and See




As per Thanos line from the trailer......The End is near.....For Avatar's total Box Office Record............

What Can Jose Mourinho Do to Turn Around Manchester United- the Paul Pogba Conendrum



Well as we all know,Manchester United's Fortunes have been really bad as they have crashed out in the Champions league and Cerebao Cup whilst lagging 16 points behind bitter rivals Manchester City who will definitely win the league. After a blistering start,how did it come to this?. It appeared that they were bulldozing through teams 4-0 and then a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea turned the whole season around. Just like last season,a good start but then everything changed after that 2-1 home defeat to Man city.Its not just Mourinho,Its also all about Paul Pogba's mysterious decline in form.

Let me breakdown the reason behind the Club , Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho's Dwindling Fortunes.



  • Mourinho needs to stop whining and start delivering. For god's sake ,stop parking the bus at home. Away is still acceptable against maybe a City or a Liverpool or even a Spurs/Chelsea but not at home.

  • Do away with 4-2-3-1 already for gods sake. Pogba can never play in a 2. He is brilliant in a 3 which means play a 4-3-3.

  • Stop blaming the players and slagging off only certain players (yeah its Luke Shaw).Be a man and take full responsibilities if the team played like rubbish because they play like that because of him in the first place!

  • Don't Know why Mourinho signed Alexis Sanchez but since he was the one who signed him,play him in a permanent position,the guy looks like a lost foreigner in the middle of Manchester town,just like his new manager.

  • Mourinho needs to play Pogba and Sanchez in their best positions which is in a Midfield 3 (Pogba) and LW (Sanchez) and stop scrutinizing them for everything.

  • Be positive and actually attack and never stop attacking. For heaven's sake 1-0 is not enough.Grow the courage to allow the team to express themselves.

Best Formation = 4-3-3
Stronglest Line Up that he should play;






                                    

                                                              DE GEA


VALENCIA                              BAILLY                        ROJO/JONES                                 YOUNG



                                                                     MATIC

                     HERRERA/MCTOMINAY                             POGBA




LINGARD/MATA                            LUKAKU                       SANCHEZ/RASHFORD/MARTIAL



BUT as usual old stubborn head will not yield as he still believes that his ancient way of playing football and his philosophy of buying player after player will get him the results he desires.




Maybe its time for  Maybe.....just maybe.....Carlo Ancelotti perhaps.................If it happens you heard it HERE FIRST....YEP I SAID IT FIRST....IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THEN LETS JUST ENJOY PEP AND CITY MAKE HISTORY!!!!!!!

CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR REVIEW

CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR 




After Months and Months of wait,the Epic Superhero Team Battle has finally dawned upon us.
So Far the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already made more than 10 films. 

Every Single film that had been produced by Marvel So far has been Amazing and the layout has been fantastic.This squabble between Captain America and Iron man started in the First Avengers Movie itself.It continued in the 2nd Avengers Movie as well.

However,the ideology differences between both of them has reached a very Critical Stage and leads to War.

The Movie Starts by Showing Bucky assassinating someone and stealing a briefcase containing a secret formula.

Then We see the new Avengers (minus War Machine and Vision) trying to stop terrorists in Wakanda. Captain America Battles Crossbones but is unable to stop him from bombing the Building.Scarlett witch is also unable to control his powers causing the explosion to kill civilians.

Because of this and several other events,General Thunderbolt Ross sanctions a Governing System called the Accords to Contain and Control the Avengers.

Iron Man ,War Machine,Vision and Black Widow agree,but Captain America,Falcon and Scarlett Witch Don't.

After the death of Agent Carter,Another Explosion Happens in Wakanda,Killing their king T'Chaka.His son T'Challa goes after the person who caused the explosion,the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes.

Captain America becomes an fugitive after choosing to protect Bucky and he recruits Ant Man to help him.Iron man meanwhile recruits Peter Parker. Hawk-eye returns and also aids Captain America.Black Panther meanwhile chooses to be with Iron man.

Team Captain America and Team Iron man battle .While this is happening,it is revealed that a Common man,Effected by the events in Sokovia (Avengers 2) known as Helmut Zemo is the cause and the main proper tier behind the attacks.



During the battle,Captain America and Bucky are allowed to leave by Black Widow and in the ensuing chaos,Vision,distracted by Scarlett witch mistakenly shoots down War Machine instead of Falcon.Captain America and Bucky Go to Siberia in search of Helmut Zemo.

Hawk-eye,Scarlett Witch,Falcon and Ant man are captured and placed in a super prison called the RAFT.Iron Man finds out the truth about bucky and the bombings and goes to siberia to make amends and aid them.

Iron man makes amends with Bucky and Cap and together they find out that Bucky was not the only Winter Soldier. Helmut zemo however had already killed all of them and intended to make Iron Man and Captain America to fight again by showing him the footage shown in the beginning of the film.

It is revealed that Bucky killed Tony Stark's Parents and Cap knew about it.This rekindles Iron Man's Hate towards Bucky and they fight again. Zemo,happy that he has achieved his dreams proceeds to leave the facility and prepares to commit suicide but he is stopped by Black Panther who brings him to the authorities

In the ensuing final battle,Bucky (losing his cybernatic arm) and Cap disable Iron Man's Armour and Leave the place. the avengers Are fractured from within,but Cap and Iron man later make amends and Iron man allows Cap to break Hawk-eye,Scarlett Witch,Falcon and Ant man from the RAFT.

Cap and Bucky then decide to Stay in Wakanda with Black Panther and Bucky decides to be put in Crio Sleep untill a Cure is found for his Problem.

Overall,this is an EPIC movie.The Best From Marvel's Production House yet. The Battle scenes at the Airport was just Amazing,all your childhood superheroes smashing each other and heck Ant Man even became Giant Man.

However,eventhough there are many super heroes leading the movie to be called Avengers 2.5,the directors have carefully but also brilliantly made this movie as a Captain America Movie.

It Stands out as a Captain America Movie.



A lot of elements were lifted from the comics and overall ,i just cannot wait for the Thor 3,Guardians 2 and of course Avengers 3.

Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige,you people are just Epic,making everybody's dream come through.

We Cannot wait for  more.

The Van Gaal Dilemma

To Keep Or To Dump




As Manchester United Fans,it is has seriously been very frustrating over the past few years.

Similar to the Liverpool decline that has continued for 2 decades,Manchester United are experiencing the same thing now.

After the Greatest Manager Sir Alex Ferguson Retired,
Manchester United Never Recovered.

First David Moyes,And then Big Louie Van Gaal.

The Result is the same mediocrity,Inconsistency and total lack of respect for the fans.

Louie Van Gaal has epitomized the word Egomaniac like no one else. 

He has surpassed Fergie,Brian Clough and Even Greame Souness when it comes to stuborness.

When LVG first Arrived,He would talk about Philosophy (They is none so far).

The Only Philosophy Visible are players who are dumbfounded and clueless.

Why ?

Because old big head instructs them to play a certain way and makes tactical decisions that baffle even the ball boys.

For Example,Why take Out Marcus Rashford for Ashley Young of all people when facing Tottenham. 

United had a good first half,but LVG decides that Rashford is not doing enough and decides to Replace him with Ashley Young. 

Its acceptable if Young straight went to Right Wing or Left Wing but he was playing as a number 9!!! with Anthony Martial still playing wide. 

Buffoonery at its best!!!

This is the story of Van Gaal At Manchester United;

Clueless,Lost,Stubborn,Short of Confidence. 

But,the one refreshing thing he did was give us all the fearless and magnificent youngsters.

This is the first time since the Exceptional Class of 92 that we are getting a bunch of Special Talent coming through the ranks.

Tyler Blackett,
Paddy McNair,
Cameron Bothwick Jackson,
Andreas Pereirra,
Adnan Januzaj
Jesse Lingard,
Timothy Fosu Mensah
Marcus Rashford
Donald Love
Joe Riley
James Weir
James Wilson
Guille Varela

13 Exceptional Youngsters coming through the ranks.

Believe it Or not,This is the only good thing that LVG has done for the club.










Of Late,United seemed to have rebounded so the talk of LVG going has stopped once again.

Defeat at Everton may Concoct it again though and this time Edward "The Clueless" Woodward should have the bollocks to pull the trigger and Sack Loius Van Gaal Forever.

So Do We Keep Him Or Dump Him ?

I'd Say Thanks LVG for the Great Kids But Good bye Forever and don't ever come back.

MUST READ !!! THE COMIC BOOK MOVIE UNIVERSE ...A FANBOYS DREAM COME TRUE

THE COMIC BOOK MOVIE UNIVERSE 



MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE & DC CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

Let me first of all start off by saying i am a fan of both comicbook companies, 

From DC Comics,my favourites are The Justice League and its famous members. Mainly Superman,Batman,Aquaman,Green Lantern and Shazam.

From Marvel Comics,My favourites are ...Well...almost everyone actually.

But i do not want to sound bias,Both comic companies seemingly got inspired by each other.They were and are still having a helthy competition.


DC Cinematic Universe













DC Comics were the first i believe to venture out into Cinema (Feel free to correct me if i am wrong in the comments section below).Superman and Batman were the first Mainstream Super heroes that got made into a feature film

I am not so sure about the 60's but from my knowledge,

The first super hero movie made was Superman,directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeves.This movie was a Box office blockbuster.



This was followed by the bigger blockbuster (once again correct me if i am wrong) Superman 2



Superman 3 and Superman 4 Followed all staring Reeves,but failed to make an impact like its predecessors.





Even the Bryan Singer Directed Superman returns in 2004 failed to make an impact.

However,Zack Synder revived the franchise in 2013's Man of Steel.



Once the Superman fever ended,Tim Burton Created the Epic Batman Film in 1989 starring Michael Keaton.



Batman Returns followed in 1993 


and 

Batman Forever starring Val Kilmer released in 1996 with both films earning higher than its predecessors.



Batman and Robin which starred George Clooney effectively killed the franchise in 1998 



Untill Christopher Nolan Revived the Franchise with Batman Begins,The Dark Knight And The Dark Knight Rises.



The Green Lantern film Starring Ryan Reynolds Was a Failure and stalled the intended DC Universe.



However,Zack Synder decided to make another attamept to finally bring the Justice League together by directing Batman vs Superman Dawn Of Justice (Currently Playing in Cinemas All around the world).



The next Movies Lined up are ;


Suicide Squad (2016)





















Wonder Woman (2017)














Justice League Part 1 (2017)











The Flash (2018)


















Aquaman (2018)



















Shazam (2019)


























Justice League part 2 (2019)
















Cyborg (2020)


























Green Lantern Corps (2020)














What a Fanboy Wants;
After Watching Batman v Superman ,i just plead to Warner Brothers and DC Comics,please stop making your superhero films so grim and dark.I know DC Comics needs to be dark as in comparision with Marvel but not humourless and totally grim.I believe Batman v superman has also suffered because of this.

This is your last roll of the Dice DCComics.Please Make it count.

As a fanboy i just want this DC Movie Universe to Suceed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marvel Cinematic Universe















Marvel on the other end tried to enter mainstream films with 

Spider Man in the 70's which was only moderatly sucessfull. 




They tried again with a Captain America Movie in 1990 but failed again. 




Marvel then sold their rights to ;

Sony Pictures 
(Spider Man,Spider man 2/3,
Amazing Spiderman,
Amazing Spider man 2)





The Ang lee Directed 
Hulk 





and 
Ghost Rider




And

Fox Studios 
(Fantastic 4,
Fantastic 4 Rise of Silver Surfer),







X-Men ,X2,X-Men Last Stand,
X-Men Origins Wolverine,
X-Men First Class ,
X-Men Days of Futures Past 









The Movies were sucessfull but Marvel did not have an identity for themselves.

What the Marvel CEO Kevin Feige did next,changed the Entire Landscape for Comic Films in Hollywood.

The Birth Of the Marvel Cinematic universe Started with Robert Downey jr's Iron Man in 2008 directed by Jon Favreu.

Feige had already concocted The Avengers movies earlier by coming up with the intriductory films for the other members of the Avengers in 3 phases,with The movie based on the Avengers coming into each phase.This was Genius,This man planned evrything way ahead of time and so far each phase has been executed brilliantly with the Box office collection outdoing each other day by day.

Feige was also instrumental in bringing Spider Man back to the Marvel Cimeatic Universe.With Spidey back where he belongs,Rest Ensured that The Marvel Cimeatic Universe is going to go places even higher than before.

Lets have a look at the MCU Phases

Phase 1 (Avengers Assembled)


Iron Man (2008)


























Incredible Hulk (2008)

























Iron Man 2 (2010)










Thor (2011)


























Captian America The First Avenger (2011)

























The Avengers (2012).


























Phase 2 


Iron Man 3 (2013)



























Thor The Dark World (2013)


























Captain America Winter Soldier (2014)

























Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

























Avengers Age of Ultron (2015)

























Ant-Man (2015)

























Phase 3


Captain America Civil War (2016)


























Dr Strange (2016)

























Thor Ragnarok (2017)
Guardians of Galaxy vol 2 (2017)
Spider Man (2017)
Black Panther (2018)

Avengers Infinity War Part 1 (2018)

























Ant Man and the Wasp (2018)
Captian Marvel (2019)

Avengers Infinity War part 2 (2019)




















You have a look at the Phases above and tell me that its not genius. Every Single character has his backstory before he appears in a multihero film.Nothing is jumbled up.Marvel are way ahead of their time and have really made use of Disney's backing as well.

What a Fanboy wants;
Continue the good work Mr Feige.
Everything that you have done so far has been super sucessfull.
Please do not change anything.
The Blueprint is perfect and you have made the dream of every Marvel Fan Come through.

Thank you Mr Feige,

Thank You Marvel and Thank You Disney.
