So, the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie is the latest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has loose ties to The Avengers and Thor 2 (at the very least) but is largely a stand-alone movie that will likely intersect … Continue reading
So, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is out – the direct sequel to Captain America and pretty much a sequel to The Avengers (all these movies are tied together but this one is closer to Avengers than Thor and Iron … Continue reading
