Review: ‘Godshaper’ #1 Forms Something New

Written by Eisner Award-nominated writer Simon Spurrier (The Spire, X-Men Legacy) and illustrated by breakout talent Jonas Goonface, Godshaper introduces a vast world where there’s a god for every person and a person for every god…though for Ennay, unfortunately exceptions may apply. People like him are Godshapers, godless social pariahs with the ability to mold and shape the gods of others. Paired with Bud, an off-kilter but affectionate god without a human, the two travel from town to town looking for shelter, a hot meal, and the next paying rock ‘n’ roll gig.

Writing

When the world loses electricity, people have no choice but find another source of power. In the case of Godshaper, everyone has their own God. A God is an energy being which holds a person’s money, protects them, and is their right hand companion. If you don’t have one though, it can suck pretty bad as it marks you as a “shaper.” It’s in this new set-up that an intriguing world is presented.

Ennay is a shaper who is treated like society’s trash, but luckily he is not alone. He has Bud, a relict, a god of a dead person. Together the two of them have a pretty good system worked out. Ennay works as a shaper and distracts the customer while Bud sneaks in the back and robs the place. It’s a heartwarming story of two beings who are down on their luck and are just trying to make it in the world. The story is so engaging that, by the end of the first issue, you will be engrossed in the overall plot.

Writer Simon Spurrier has created a great premise in this new series. He also portrays true sympathy for characters who are down on their luck. It’s the perfect series for anyone looking for a series with an independent feel to it.

Artwork

Jonas Goonface colors and illustrates the entire issue. His work helps the book to have a very unique and fascinating style to it, especially with the gods. These creatures range from simple to very complex. Also, there is a perfect use of color to help to convey emotions in different scenes.

Conclusion

Godshaper is a series which presents a fresh world with a lot to explore in it. This series will easily find an audience and could become one of best titles of 2017. The first issue is a definite must read and leaves the audience in anticipation for the next installment.

‘In Rotation’: My Top 5 Albums Of The Week That You Need To Hear

David Joseph

April 7, 2017

In Rotation, a listicle for music lovers, and seekers of new and different things to listen to. So, if you’re looking for new music, something different, or maybe music to suit your mood this week, here is the place to get a diverse offering each week.

In Rotation this week there is multi vocal Indie Rock Opera effort, Indie/Experimental/Melodic Hardcore group, a unique Screamo/Piano Rock/Rap/Experimental band, a well-known Gothic/Emotive Punk Rock band, and an Alternative Rock/Classical piano/Hard Rock group that make up this week’s playlist.

Belated, sadly, but better late than never. Let’s dive in. Shall we?

Artist: Broken Social Scene
Album: Self-Titled

Apparently, in the ‘Broken Social Scene,’ there is a lot going on. A scene (band) who has roughly 22 members singing and playing various instruments, and isn’t Slipknot, is pretty wild in and of itself. Their music is grungy and distorted, yet still Indie Pop Rock and anthematic with their several singers ensemble. However, not quite at a Polyphonic Spree level.

For fans of Death Cab for Cutie, Japandroids, or other bands of that nature, you can find something to love in giving this a spin.

Artist: Modest Mouse
Album: Lonesome Crowded West

The weirdness of Modest Mouse is already a fairly well-known commodity in the music industry, but not nearly as odd and heavy as this lesser known album Lonesome Crowded West. Past this musical juxtaposition, Modest Mouse’s music became a little more controlled and focused. However, the melodic hardcore chaos this album contains is what makes it so unique and a pleasure to listen to.

If you are a Modest Mouse fan, why haven’t you listened to it? If you are not, why haven’t you listened to it yet?

Artist: Trophy Scars
Album: Alphabets. Alphabets.

Trophy Scars is certainly unlike many bands you have heard of or listened to thus far, unless you have heard of the disbanded group The Natalie Fight. Still, Screamo, Rap, Southern Piano Rock, Experimental, Progressive Rock, and story teller-like Indie Rock/Country at times, all describe this effective album of unique sounds.

Trophy Scars’ music is expertly played, and its vocalist ranges from whispers and raspy singing to a sing-song like high pitch screaming, but never is he excessive or repetitive.

If you are a fan of any of the aforementioned genres, or looking for something unique, give this a spin.

Artist: Alkaline Trio
Album: Good Mourning

Matt Skiba has already been a part of In Rotation with his side project Heavens, but his original and fan favorite band Alkaline Trio is where most of his best work resides. The music on the album Good Mourning was the culmination of their dark brand of Punk Rock that was truly pitch perfect for this album.

Carefully crafted dark melodies of the macabre and torrid romance make this their most worthwhile album, and of course, for anyone whom this style appeals to.

If you listen to any one Alkaline Trio album, this is the one to give a spin.

Artist: Muse
Album: Absolution

It is hard to believe Muse’s masterpiece of album, Absolution, is already over a decade old, but it is. A band that traverses the very diverse pathways of Alternative Rock and Classical music genres, and occasionally blends them together in an anthematic and unique way.

Absolution is unlike anything Muse has produced before or since. Beautifully crafted classical elements blended with heavily distorted bass, lead and rhythm guitar, and even the vocals at times share this overall tonal touch.

If you love thunderous, anthematic music, creative classical piano, and Alt Rock distorted guitars, then this is the perfect album to take for a spin.

This concludes this week’s In Rotation music listing, and come back next week for another eclectic helping of the new, the old, and the weird in music. Thank you for taking a short journey into a vast collection of various genres that hopefully will give you something new to listen to this week.

Stay tuned or next week’s In Rotation.

Review: Colossal Offers An Appealing Meld Of Monsters And Emotions

Erik Amaya

April 7, 2017

Marrying the seemingly incompatible forms of indie drama and monster movie, Colossal manages to blend the two genres in an appealing way; buoyed by two strong leads.

The film stars Anne Hathaway as Gloria, a party girl marooned in her hometown following a break-up. She almost immediately run into her childhood friend Oscar (Jason Sudeikis). Happy to see her back in his world, he provides her with some furniture and a job at his seemingly rundown – but actually kickass – bar. So far, well-trod indie movie territory.

But following her first night home, Gloria awakens with a hangover and the news that a giant monster has attacked Seoul, South Korea. She reacts to the story far more than anyone else in her life and soon discovers that she and the monster are connected despite being thousands of miles apart.

Eschewing the look and tone of kaiju movies, writer/director Nacho Vigalondo uses the visual grammar of the indie film, but creates a credible giant monster threat through the use of television news. The headlines themselves are often the source of some of the movies biggest laughs. The jokes also lay seeds of a jeopardy that becomes quite real. Vigalondo milks the mix of genres for much of the comedic and dramatic potential it has to offer. He also deftly utilizes both in a sequence featuring little more than Hathaway’s foot in a playground.

Whether she walks with confidence or stumbles drunk, Hathaway’s performance offers as much validity to the story as Vigalondo’s use of the monster footage on omnipresent televisions. She impresses both as the ne’er-do-well and as the main character in an indie drama realizing a deep internal truth. She also scores some big laughs, like when she first realizes her tie to the monster. It is an elegant, often subdued performance with a number of great punctuation marks. Though the character is on a journey of self-discovery, Hathaway imbues her with a sense of fun, like in the scene when she first visits Oscar’s half-sports/half-western bar.

And like his half-styled bar, Oscar is a complicated character, offering some of the Sudeikis’s boyish charms and revealing an unsettling take on the manchild characters he often plays. In many ways, his performance is a revelation, but to offer examples would spoil the surprise of his work in the film. Though Hathaway does the heavy lifting in Colossal, Sudeikis may find more dramatic work thanks to his role in the film.

Time Blake Nelson and Legion’s Dan Stevens also do fine work in supporting roles as Oscar’s longtime drinking pal and Gloria’s ex-boyfriend, respectively. Both stand decidedly in the indie film strand of the story and round out that world well. Austin Stowell also appears as one of the few to learn about Gloria’s connection to the monster, but he is curiously underdeveloped.

Besides the one partially cooked character, the movie also moves at an odd pace and eventually makes the viewer very aware of its nearly two-hour runtime. It also offers a little too much explanation about the monster, robbing it of some of the quirky charm of its physical appearance.

Despite these flaws, Colossal is a very appealing and satisfying film. It proves character pieces and monster movies can inhabit the same universe, offering one genre interesting insights into the other. It also illustrates how modern life can feel as threatening and as absurd as a Godzilla movie.

Colossal opens today in select cities.

Zack Snyder Shares Image Of Henry Cavill In Christopher Reeve’s Iconic Superman Costume

Kieran McLean

April 7, 2017

Man of Steel director Zack Snyder just shared an image highlighting the first time Henry Cavill ever wore a Superman costume. Since the release of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder has told the story of Henry Cavill’s first screen test. Of course, Cavill didn’t have the part yet and a costume hadn’t been built, so the actor was given the opportunity to wear Christopher Reeve’s original Superman costume.

Also Read: RUMOR: Is This The Leaked Superman’s Black Suit for ‘Justice League’?

Though Snyder has been open about this process in the past, we’ve never actually seen a photo of Cavill wearing Reeve’s costume, until now. The director shared the image on his official Vero account. “First test with Henry… I knew right away he was my Superman,” wrote Snyder.

Over the last few days it has been widely reported that Zack Snyder originally wanted Joe Manganiello to play Superman, so maybe this was Zack Snyder’s response. The director might have wanted to clarify that Henry Cavill was always his top choice for Superman.

Henry Cavill will next appear as the man of steel in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, where he will fight alongside or possibly against Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg.

Five Favorite Films From The Year I Was Born: 1993

Jahmssen Ruiz Castaneda

April 7, 2017

1993; the year I was born. I wish there was something interesting about it but from my research the most exciting things to happen were Uranus passing by Neptune (which happens once every 171 years) and the Super Mario Bros movie coming out.

Year of the Rooster? More like year of the snooze fest.

Nonetheless, here’s a list in no particular order I compiled of my five favorite films from 1993.

Groundhog Day

Screenshot of Phil ice sculpting, 1993 — Just look at that ice sculpture.

I love time travel movies because of the crazy antics the characters get into. In life every action we take affects the future, while in these type of films I get to see an immediate reaction which gives me instant gratification. Groundhog Day has a different approach by limiting the story to only 24 hours. It might seem like a bad idea, but the writers have the main protagonist actually learning new skills during his time in limbo, like French or ice sculpting, so it never really feels like a waste of time. It essentially shows us alternate realities based off the same day, while Phil alone retains his memories. This makes it into my top 5, simply for introducing me to the concept of time.

Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan

Legendary Super Saiyan Broly gone Super Saiyan, 1993 — It always weirded me out how Broly didn’t have any pupils.

Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan changed the way I viewed the world and art. Growing up, I assumed that the only country that existed was Canada because it was all I knew. It wasn’t until I saw this movie in its original Japanese dub that I broadened my horizons. That’s also when I became aware that art is just art, no matter where it comes from. It gave me the push I needed to go out and read/watch more varied content. Dragon Ball was also something that tied different generations of my family together. My uncle would take my brother and me to the library and introduced us to the manga, and a few years later, my older cousin showed us the anime.

The Sandlot

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die” The Sandlot is perfectly encapsulated by that one quote. I tend to see the final results instead of all the hard work needed to arrive to that point, and this movie constantly reminds me that every great figure was once a kid. The only reason I like revisiting this story every couple of years is just to see the chase scene.

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park was a game changer! I didn’t even have an interest in history or dinosaurs until I saw this movie. At first I thought they were made up inventions from some old man’s mind like dragons. When my older brother explained to me that they were real and that the last one had just recently died in a Canadian zoo, my world came crashing down. I didn’t know animals could go extinct and I felt guilty because I had the notion that I had killed it by simply knowing about its existence. It’s kind of like when I thought James Avery died and I went to look him up and found out he died that day. You just can’t shake the feeling that you’re somehow responsible. Yes, I now realize dinosaurs died millions of years ago, but at the time I believed everything my brother told me.

Schindler’s list

Earlier I wrote 1993 had nothing of value to offer to the world, but I lied. I was first introduced to Schindler’s list in my grade 10 history class in high school. I never finished watching it in that class which I was okay with because of how haunting it was. The tension throughout was enough to make me sick. I did eventually finish the movie in my grade 12 English class which also helped me notice some details I previously skipped over like the little girl in red and her ultimate fate. I’m of the opinion that this movie is something that should be watched once so as to never forget the atrocities of the past. Never more than once though, unless you somehow forgot about its existence, because this is just too much to stomach.

‘Wonder Woman’ Director Talks Ares, ‘Batman v Superman’, & Similarities To ‘Thor’

Aric Sweeny

April 7, 2017

Comicbook.com got an interview with Patty Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman, at WonderCon. She talked about Ares being the villain, references to Batman v Superman, and similiarities between this film and Thor.

On references to BvS:

“There are things here and there but it’s a standalone film. It should succeed to people who have seen Batman v Superman or not seen anything.”

Jenkins then made it clear that Wonder Woman is a comedic adventure movie.

“I think there’s funny things in both of those films but we definitely went for making a funny film. I was always basing it on Superman 1 and on Indiana Jones. I wanted to make a classic film where you’re laughing and you’re in love with them and then they’re off on a great adventure. It’s definitely in the pursuit of our film.”

Why did she choose Ares?

“He’s the biggest villain of Wonder Woman’s world, and so I think if you’re going to start off big, start off right with the greatest villain.”

“It was a great delight to place him in the world in a way where he believes in exactly what a real true Ares does. And what kind havoc would Ares wreak on this planet and how? There’s some pretty good jobs to put them in for that.”

Lastly, Jenkins talked about how her work on Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World influenced this film.

“It’s a lot of the same questions and a lot of the same struggles that I was interested in Thor’s story are here, although in that case it was the second movie so it could never have been as pure and as simple of an arc so I really think it was meant to be that I ended up doing this one, which I had always wanted to do anyway. And I got to do it in a kind of bigger and purer arc rather than putting it in that other story.”

“Wonder Woman hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.”

Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot as the title character, Chris Pine, Robin Wright as Antiope, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Connie Nielsen, Ewen Bremner, and Lucy Davis.

The film hits theaters on June 2, 2017.

Joe Manganiello Nearly Played Superman In ‘Man of Steel’

Aric Sweeny

April 7, 2017

In a recent interview with MTV, Joe Manganiello, who’s (probably) playing Deathstroke in Matt Reeves’ Batman film, revealed that he was once in the running to play Superman in Man of Steel.

“I met with Zack [Snyder]. I had an hour and a half long meeting with Zack, which is what was causing all the trouble. … I went ahead and met with casting, and then they all brought me over to meet Zack. I met the producers, I met with Jon Jashni and Thomas Tull at Legendary, I met everybody – everybody involved – and then finally sat down with Zack for an hour and a half and had a big conversation about the character and where it was going, et cetera. Then they called the True Blood costume shop for my measurements to build my suit and that’s what caused – that’s when it stopped.”

Manganiello wasn’t able to take the role due to contractual obligations with HBO for True Blood.

Man of Steel is undoubtedly a controversial movie. Although I believe it’s a masterpiece, the majority of the internet disagrees with me. Take yourself back to 2013 – would Manganiello playing the role of Clark Kent made any difference in your opinion on the movie? Comment below, let us know.

Sir Patrick Stewart’s Foster Fail Ginger Inspires Animal Advocacy In the Star

Jen Schiller

April 6, 2017

Just a few weeks ago, Sir Patrick Stewart began posting videos and photos to his Instagram account of a beautiful pitbull named Ginger, who he had decided to foster in his Los Angeles home. Now, less than a month later, Stewart has decided to permanently add Ginger to his family, and has begun charity work with the ASPCA and Wags and Walks, the two organizations he worked with to foster and adopt Ginger.

Stewart’s new addition is unsurprising–it was clear from their first meeting there was serious puppy love between the two. His “foster fail” (what you call a pet that is initially fostered, but ends up getting adopted by its foster family permanently) inspired him to get involved in animal rights–encouraging other celebs to adopt pitties and speaking out against dog fighting.

The X-Men and Star Trek alum is certainly not blazing a trail for celebrities using their platform to speak up for animal rights. In fact, he has joined an army of famous animal lovers by welcoming Ginger into his home. Here are some other familiar faces and their furry counterparts. Now the only question left is “who rescued who?”

Prev Next

1. Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuoco is a huge advocate for animal rights. Her home hosts a near constant rotation of foster/ foster fail/ furrever home pups. Her pitbull Norman frequents her Instagram account, but you can see her other fosters and furrever friends there, too!

2. Henry Cavill

This heartthrob has a soft spot in the shape of his dog, Kal-el. Kal is no slouch–he works as Cavill’s emotional support animal, which likely pays in milk bones. Kal may not be a rescue, but animals and the environment are a cause close to Cavill’s heart. He heads up “Cavill Conservation“, a movement that works with The Durell Wildlife Park to research and restore endangered species to their natural habitats.

3. Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn and her husband Aaron Rodgers are now on their second adopted pup, pictured above. Frankie and his brother Chance each have their own Instagram accounts, with tens of thousands of followers apiece. For her part, Munn makes it very clear that both pups were adopted rather than bought in a store. In the past, she has also spoken on behalf of PETA and took part in more than one of their ad campaigns.

4. Ice-T and Coco

The rapper/TV star Ice-T and is wife Coco are active supporters of animal rights groups big and small. Last fall, they lost their first bulldog Spartacus during surgery on his knee. Both Spartacus and his brother Maximus feature heavily in the couple’s lives, even joining them on red carpet events and playing with their daughter Chanel. You can see pictures of both pups (and Chanel!) on their joint Instagram account.

5. Kristen Bell

In one of her most recent posts on Instagram, Kristen Bell introduced the world to her new foster pup, Muppet. The jury is still out on whether or not Muppet will permanently join the Bell/Shepard household, the verdict is in on Kristen’s long-time animal advocacy: it’s not going anywhere. Bell has worked for better animal treatment, less animal testing, and adoption over shopping ever since she was the marshmallow-y Veronica Mars. Thirteen years and one sloth-related meltdown later, and she’s just as adamant about advocacy as she ever was before.

Star Trek: Discovery – Sonequa Martin-Green Finally Confirmed [SPOILERS]

Michael Bedford

April 6, 2017

It finally happened. After announcing what might have been every other recurring character in the show, Star Trek: Discovery‘s lead character and the actor who will portray her(?) was officially named three days ago. Is it a coincidence that Sonequa Martin-Green, famous for playing Sasha on AMC’s The Walking Dead, was confirmed only a few days after the season finale of that show? I don’t know … I guess you’ll have to watch it.

But why did I insert a question mark after “her” in that last paragraph? Well, Martin-Green’s character’s name will apparently be First Officer “Michael Burnham.” The name “Michael,” as this author well knows, is generally a man’s name. This has led to some Trek fans to postulate that Martin-Green will be playing Star Trek’s first transgender lead character.

Star Trek: Discovery – Sonequa Martin-Green, X or Y?

Although it would be interesting to see a transgender character on Star Trek, the idea that a non-transgender actor would (yet again) play a transgender character makes me uneasy. I know that it’s typical of Hollywood to cast actors unrepresentative of the demographic they’re portraying in TV and movies — Tilda Swinton, and Jared Leto immediately spring to mind — but that doesn’t make these kinds of casting decisions right.

I hope that Michael Burnham, although maybe tough as nails, is a woman. That way I can pretend she’s some version of Majel Barrett‘s character Number One from the pilot episode of Star Trek, “The Cage.” But enough about what startrek.com has called the “worst-kept secret in the universe,” let’s talk about the news that our very own Michael Fromm covered previously, Rainn Wilson’s upcoming role on Discovery as “Haaarrcourt!” Fenton Mudd.

Star Trek: Discovery – Rainn Wilson Inherits a Legacy

Trek fans who only watched Star Treks The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise won’t know Harry Mudd, but thorough Trekkies will remember Mudd as the intergalactic hustler that Captain Kirk outfoxed more than once. In fact, both for those who want to learn more about Mudd’s exploits and for those who want to nostalgize, let’s take a look at the episodes that this spacefaring con man appeared in.

Star Trek: Discovery – Harry Mudd’s Rap Sheet

Star Trek – “Mudd’s Women”

Captain Kirk and crew first encounter Harcourt Fenton Mudd on stardate 1329.8, in 2266, in an episode entitled “Mudd’s Women.” In it, Mudd is rescued by the Enterprise, and, speaking in an Irish accent, introduces himself with a false name. Mudd, his identity is eventually revealed, turns out to be a wanted smuggler who’s engaged in what is essentially a mail-order bride racket.

Mudd gives the would-be brides in his employ pills that grant them good looks and exceptional feminine allure. As the drug wears off, though, the women lose their charms, reverting back to their otherwise plain selves. Mudd manages to arrange a deal with some miners, and his brides get husbands. The miners lose interest when their brides lose their good looks, but in a final confrontation an always clever Jim Kirk switches one of the brides’ pills with a placebo. When she still becomes beautiful after taking it, her own self-confidence is revealed as the source of her beauty.

Star Trek – “I, Mudd”

Mudd has been living on a planet filled with androids after escaping a Denebian death sentence for committing fraud. The androids serve Mudd well, but he grows bored with being their emperor and has them spacejack, you guessed it, the Enterprise. The androids turn out to be the creations of the Makers, an ancient race of aliens from the Andromeda galaxy.

Mudd seeks to strand the crew of the Enterprise on the android planet and take it for himself. The crew outwits the group of androids by acting illogically, and are able to turn things around on Mudd. They re-maroon Mudd with the androids but the only line of identical androids they allow him access to, others being quite attractive, is the one that Mudd modeled after his nagging ex-wife Stella, 500 copies of her. Kirk’s bridge crew laugh in Mudd’s face and the credits roll. Smug, aren’t they?

Star Trek: The Animated Series – “Mudd’s Passion”

The crew of the Enterprise are en route to pick Mudd up from the planet “Motherlode,” apparently some kind of mining planet. Mudd is, as usual, wanted on multiple charges, and the Enterprise is here to bring him to trial. Mudd reports that he has a love potion for sale, and, creating a nice juicy conflict, Nurse Chapel in an effort to get Spock to notice her uses the potion on him. The drug is quickly spread throughout the ship, and hilarity ensues.

This is a fun episode because you get to see everybody let their hair down, including Spock who tells Kirk that one of his command decisions is “an outstandingly stupid idea.” The crew eventually regain their senses when the drug wears off, and their feelings of love are replaced by feelings of hatred. Mudd is sentenced to psychiatric treatment, and that’s the last we ever see of him. I guess it worked!

Star Trek: Discovery – Rainn Wilson and Sonequa Martin-Green

It’ll be good to see these two actors in a show together. I wonder how much of a part Wilson will have, but I hope we get to see a younger version of his wife Stella berate and nag him. And while I’m talking about someone who could very well be Harry Mudd’s foil in Star Trek: Discovery, I should bring up that Sonequa Martin-Green’s foil as Commander Michael Burnham may very well be Captain Lorcas as played by Jason Isaacs. Isaacs’s filmography up to this point doesn’t include a lot of good guys, so we’ll have to wait and see if First Officer Burnham becomes Captain Burnham in an exciting mutiny sequence.

Ghosts of Box Office Past: Big City Fun, The Amazon, And Suburban Paranoia

Ruben Diaz

April 6, 2017

One-hundred-plus years of filmmaking provides a long, rich, and deep history to look back on. Retro reviews and analysis of old films are practically necessary full-time specialities. Month after month, films release, vying to make as much money as possible, and reign as box office champs. Some rise, some fall, but regardless of financial success, it’s never a sign of a lasting effect. A great example is the little-mentioned 2012 film which released just eight years ago. 2012 made nearly 800 million dollars and effectively vanished off the face of the earth.

So, where does that leave the ghosts of box office champs past?

Let’s take a look back ten, twenty, and thirty years ago
at the biggest movies released in April.

4. 2017 – I predict …

The Fate of the Furious releases on April 14th. If the film even makes half of what Furious 7 made it’ll still earn more than all three movies in this write-up. Ten years from now, when I’m doing an updated version of this article, I have no doubt Fate of the Furious will be the ghost of box office champion’s future.
