6 Superhero Stories

6 Superhero Stories

“Forced Retirement” What if Alzheimer’s struck the World’s Mightiest Hero? His daughter, heroic Hericane, finds out the hard way. Gripped by dementia, godlike Epitome tears apart a city, and no one can stop him. Will his madness destroy the entire world? Not if Hericane recruits the one big gun who stands a chance in Hell of stopping her father in his tracks. But the battle of the century between the super-charged titans might just kick-start the Apocalypse instead of stopping it.

Being dropped face first into a super-hero universe can be rough, especially with characters that have oddball super abilities. At the end of the day this is a “what if superman got super mentally ill and his daughter had to fight him” story with some shenanigans from assisting heroes. Well done and sets the stage for the next five stories.

“Heroes of Global Warming” The world’s hottest hero has gone rogue! In an age of global warming, super-heated hero Skillet looks like a lukewarm loser. But when his teammates, the Castigators, turn their backs on him, he turns the Castigators into prey. Let the hunt begin! Skillet becomes public enemy number one as he rounds up his former allies. But the secret plan behind his hunt might just save the world.

Unrelated to the other stories in this collection, this one off story was tightly written and executed.

“Forced Betrayal” Who murdered the girlfriend of the World’s Mightiest Heroine? Super-powered Hericane will stop at nothing to find out who killed the woman she loved. But when she teams with Bonnie Taggart, internal affairs investigator for the Superhuman Protectorate, the search leads in unexpected directions. Fighting their way through the darkest corners of Isosceles City, Hericane and Bonnie tear the truth from criminal chimpanzees, crooked promoters, and hateful cops, only to fall prey to a terrible trap.

Related to the first story, and while it seemed to go on much longer than was necessary, the ending was worth the wait.

“The Wife Who Never Was” What happens when a truly super hero loses the love of his life in the continuity overhaul of his fictional universe? Mighty Pinnacle’s super memory won’t let him forget his lost marriage to Doris Dane, and his aching heart drives him to search everywhere for a way to bring her back. But all his power might not be enough when he runs up against a force from beyond his world, an enemy with the secret to his suffering.

It’s a familiar story and has a nice twist to it that feels unique.

“Forced Partnership” Hero-on-sidekick violence explodes in this hard-hitting super-hero tale. Why does Partycrasher, dark avenger of the night, give his sidekick the beating of a lifetime? Could it be the cowled crusader has fallen under the influence of sexy reformed bad girl Linda Loveblind, aka Partygirl? Or has the sidekick truly committed a heinous crime for which there can be no forgiveness? Maybe the answer is none of the above.

Which of these narrators can be trusted? Well done version of the twisted reality story.

“A Matter of Size” Who is killing the world’s smallest super-heroes? Down-on-his-luck masked avenger Man-Child takes the case, but can he save the remaining Small Wonders from a killer with a twisted crush fetish? Man-Child takes on villainous Mammon and Stigmata without missing a beat, but his own dark secret might be enough to bring him down for good.

It’s a short story, but a good one.

“Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” Review

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey: Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield. With Nikolai Leon, Maria Taylor, Natasha Rose Mills, Amber Doig-Thorne. After Christopher Robin abandons them for college, Pooh and Piglet embark on a bloody rampage as they search for a new source of food.

As far as public domain horror parodies go, this one isn’t too bad, my only complaint is that the creatures of the 100 Acre Wood are obviously just people in some pretty terrible masks, gloves, and body suits. The actual premise works for me on multiple levels, but I honestly would have taken that premise in a different direction, something more like Fern Gully than “campers in the woods meet the messed up Acre Creatures”. I appreciated the intentful campiness of the final product though and am happy to hear that there’s a ‘shared universe’ coming together with both a sequel and a story of bambi being released soon.

A point of note, I was going to go see the sequel in theaters, it was on a list of about 10 films that I was interested in seeing in theaters and had given my patreons a chance to tell me which movie they wanted me to see, but all 10 of the movies were no longer showing by the time I was able to get to the theaters just 3 days later. Absolutely bonkers!

Track of the Trinoculus: A 3 Valkyries Adventure

Who are the 3 Valkyries? Wearing ancient Viking masks that confer upon them the powers of different Norse gods, they are teenaged metahumans pledged to take up challenges lesser mortals dare not face. In their first exciting adventure, Thora the Thunderer, Ravenwing and Bifrost brave the dangers of Yellowstone National Park to hunt a three-eyed monster called the Trinoculus—but how can they defeat a creature whose very nearness sucks the life out of any who approach it? From the author of Doc Savage, and the creator of Squirrel Girl!

Either this book was targeted to young readers and it was in the wrong bundle or this wasn’t for me. The story is blessedly short, but the plot and vocabulary used throughout the story is decidedly on the lessor side.

The Portrayal of Casinos in Hollywood Movies

When we think about casinos, what typically comes to mind is a glimmering panorama of lights, lavishness, and grandeur. That image, to a large extent, has been shaped by Hollywood’s portrayal of casinos.

This blog post delves into the myriad ways Hollywood movies have depicted casinos over the years. We also explore the impact of these representations on the perception and popularity of real-world casinos, such as casino.

The Hollywood Casino Scene: A Landscape of Thrills and Suspense

Hollywood’s depiction of casinos often paints a picture of thrill, suspense, and high-stakes drama. This pattern finds its roots in timeless classics, notably, 1967’s “Casino Royale” and “The Sting” from 1973. Films of our era, such as “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001), the 2006 remake of “Casino Royale,” and 2021’s “The Card Counter” perpetuate this allure. These movies dish up enthralling narratives, teeming with high-risk card showdowns, shrewd betting stratagems, and breath-taking heist plots.

These portrayals add to the charm of casino-based movies, making them an exciting watch for audiences worldwide. The underlying theme of quick fortunes and instant ruination feeds into the mystique that surrounds gambling and casinos. It’s an exhilarating spectacle where a single roll of dice, spin of a roulette wheel, or flip of a card can alter lives.

Showcasing Opulence: The Connection Between Casinos and Luxury

Another recurring theme in the portrayal of casinos in Hollywood movies is the association with luxury and extravagance. Cinematic representations often emphasize opulent settings, with vast gaming floors, grand architecture, and characters draped in high-end fashion. 

Films like “Rain Man” (1988), “Casino” (1995), and “The Hangover” (2009) present casinos as a playground for the wealthy, reflecting the upper echelons of society. This portrayal has played a role in shaping people’s perception of casinos as spaces of grandeur and class, a perception that real-world establishments like 888casino strive to live up to with their premium offerings.

The Dark Side of Casinos: A Tale of Caution

While Hollywood often glamorizes casinos, it also showcases their potential pitfalls. Films such as “Leaving Las Vegas” (1995) and “Hard Eight” (1996) recount gripping stories of people succumbing to the snares of gambling obsession, unmasking the ominous aspect of casino lifestyle. 

These chronicles act as gentle warnings, advising spectators to step cautiously in the beguiling realm of casinos. These stories promote the important message of responsible gambling, reminding us that while casinos can offer fun and entertainment, they can also lead to devastating consequences when not approached with moderation.

The Evolution of Casinos in Hollywood: From Physical to Online Platforms

With the advent of online casinos in the late 90s and their subsequent boom in the 21st century, Hollywood’s portrayal of casinos has seen a gradual shift. Traditional brick-and-mortar casinos continue to feature prominently, but recent movies have begun to showcase online platforms as well. 

For instance, the film “Runner Runner” (2013) explores the world of online poker, presenting a modern take on the classic casino narrative. This shift in depiction aligns with the real-world trend, as a growing number of players gravitate towards online platforms for their convenience, variety of games, and cutting-edge technology.

The Influence of Hollywood on Casino Culture and Vice Versa

The relationship between Hollywood and casinos is reciprocal. While Hollywood movies shape public perception of casinos, they also reflect real-world trends in the gambling industry. As such, the portrayal of casinos in films can influence the strategies and offerings of real-world casinos.

On the flip side, trends in the gambling industry can also inspire Hollywood narratives.For instance, poker’s ascendance in the early 2000s ignited a wave of poker-focused movies like “Rounders” (1998) and “Molly’s Game” (2017). In parallel, the contemporary upswing in online casinos’ fame presages a potential muse for forthcoming Hollywood creations.

In retrospect: The Intertwined Worlds of Casinos and Cinema

Casinos, in their various representations, have been a staple of Hollywood cinema for decades. These portrayals, filled with suspense, luxury, cautionary tales, and even shifts towards digital platforms, have significantly shaped the public’s perception of casinos.

As the gambling industry evolves, so too will Hollywood’s representation of it. And as long as there are thrilling stories to tell and lessons to impart, casinos will continue to feature prominently in the glittering world of Hollywood. The dance between Hollywood and casinos, it seems, is far from over.
