Hello! My name is Mike and I am very passionate about both Marvel and film analysis. Film analysis is a great art form to become acquainted with because it can make any good movie even better once you are aware of the different ways the director tells the story. The Marvel Universe is one of my favorite movie series. I very much look forward to sharing the deep complexities/film concepts used in the movies.
