    In honor of Zack Snyder's Justice League coming out I have been doing a rewatch of the entire DCEU, 2013's Man of Steel through 2020's Wonder Woman 1984. Naturally with a new DCEU movie coming out that means ranking time. I want something in the forefront of this, Zack Snyder was screwed over by Warner Brothers and I am so very happy for him that he gets to finish his vision of the DCEU. The DCEU has been controversial and celebrated from the very beginning with Man of Steel. Whether you adore the DCEU or are just a random hater, we all have opinions on it. So let's get into the ranking. 9. Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) - IMDb Score: 5.4     The most recent DCEU is unfortunately the worst, and I do not think it is even close. When I first watched this movie it was one of the first time getting to return to the theater and I was sucked into the experience, rewatches since it has been a rude awakening of oh no this is horrible. This movie has just SO MANY plot...

         !  DO NOT READ FURTHER UNTIL YOU WATCH WANDAVISION EPISODE EIGHT ! Final Spoiler warning for this absolute insane theory that I think just possibly might be true.     Okay so let's lay out what we saw, Agatha Harkness is investigating Wanda trying to figure out HOW she is doing what she is doing. This line of thinking gives us three possible outcomes in my head, and no Mephisto is not one of them. 1. Agatha wants to use Wanda to bring someone back to life 2. Agatha is working for Chthon and has been trying to find the being that was imbued with his powers to bring him into this universe and believes it to be Wanda but has to investigate to confirm it.  3. My Theory, but it starts with another purple "villain"                 We were told by Thanos that he used the Infinity Stones to destroy them. BUT we are also told in previous movies that the Infinity Stones are the building blocks ...

      Welcome back to HLS Movie Awards Nominee lists this time we are covering film scores.  Scores are a very hard thing to recommend to people to listen to, so in this list I am going to try to describe the general vibe and quickly talk about each and then provide a Spotify link to where you can listen to them yourself! As always this will be in alphabetical order not in a ranking. Da 5 Bloods- Composer: Terence Blanchard      This one is weird for me because if you read by Top Movies of 2020 blogs you ight remember I am not a fan of this movie, it was fine it just had too many obvious issues in it to ignore meanwhile it gets propped up just for being a Spike Lee joint. This score is 10x better than the entire movie itself. Delroy Lindo and Terence Blanchard deserve award nominations not Spike.   Here is the link to listen on Spotify Greyhound- Composer: Blake Neely     Greyhound has one of the best heroic scores we have had in de...

      With Marvel Studios Spider-Man 3 title soon to be announced (will edit it here when announced-EDIT - The title is Spider-Man: No Way Home) I decided to do a quick blog to put out there the CORRECT Spider-Man movie rankings. I am including Venom because it is my list get over it, and I would have included Morbius but it is not out yet. Well enough time wasting here we go 9. Amazing Spider-Man 2     These bottom two were a toss up for me as they both ended their franchises but Amazing Spider-Man 2 was just so bad. They had a possibly interesting story moving forward and Andrew Garfield was different but was still a very solid Peter Parker but we all know why this movie was so poorly received, the weird as hell Goblin storyline and Jamie Foxx's Electro was cringingly bad. Spending time for that to be your main villain in the movie is a laughable decision, it would have been okay if they used him like they did with Paul Giamatti's Rhino (wh...

     Welcome back to the StokesVerse, if you missed  Part 1 click here to read , you won't want to miss out on how all of our favorite DC heroes were introduced! Before I get started with Part 2 I just want to say thank you for everyone who read Part 1 and reached out saying they enjoyed it and asking when Part 2 was, well here it is! I want to tell everyone reading this is not some sort of shot at Zack Snyder I love his work, it is more a result of the frustration of how pitiful Warner Brothers attempt at a DCEU has been and proof positive of how a one could easily have been done. DC comic fans deserve a DCEU that rivals the MCU because their characters could easily wipe the floor with a significantly better shared cinematic universe.
