The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has given its fans some of the greatest sibling rivalries in modern cinema. However, none of them are as compelling as the relationship between Thor and Loki, whose constant and playful tension has been a staple for the MCU franchise featuring them. Although their history is rooted in Norse mythology, the two gods’ complicated relationship gives their respective characters a human touch. Since the two Asgardian brothers have been at odds with each other from the beginning of the MCU, their dynamic has become even more complex over the course of the franchise. On that…

While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a powerful experience for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the real-life death of Chadwick Boseman, it also introduced a major player in the series’ future. Riri Williams flew onto the screen as the next Iron Man character, Ironheart, complete with a brand new iron suit. After the death of Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark in Avengers Endgame, the thought of a new Iron Man might be a little hard to swallow, but not for the actor himself. Riri Williams actor…

Lionel Messi is revered as one of the greatest dribblers in professional football’s long history. The Paris Saint-Germain superstar rarely uses garish skill moves to beat an opponent, instead relying on the lethal combination of lightning-quick feet and a low centre of gravity. We can’t actually recall a time where Messi has performed the stepover or a similar move out on the pitch, yet he breezes past people with almost frightening regularity. Even at the age of 35, the 2022 World Cup winner defeats far younger players with his obscene dribbling ability. So why is Messi near enough unstoppable while running with the ball? Well,…

Barcelona and Brazil icon Romario says he would pick himself over Lionel Messi to fill a striking role in any side, boldly declaring: “I’m the best.” Brazilian striker won World Cup in 1994 Starred for Barcelona Argentine icon more of a No.10 than a 9 WHAT HAPPENED? The 1994 World Cup winner was one of the finest goalscorers the game has ever seen when operating at the peak of his powers, with 18 memorable months spent at Camp Nou working under Johan Cruyff between 1993 and 1995. Romario was named FIFA World Player of the Year during that spell, hitting 30…

in a suit of armor. Take that away then what are you?” asks Captain America (Chris Evans) in Joss Whedon‘s “The Avengers.” “Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist,” shoots back Tony Stark, in a quip that, delivered either of two ways, is only slightly more impressive than the actual truth. Because of course, outside the suit, and outside the Marvel films, Iron Man/Tony Stark is in fact, Robert Downey Jr., and he’s one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. But damned if he didn’t make quite a meal out of getting there. When you consider Tom Cruise made “Risky Business” after only four other film roles, (read about his early…
