Marvel Vs. Star Wars: WHO YA GOT???!!?!?!?!
The new Avengers movie drops tonight and so, bereft of better ideas, we thought now would be a good time to kick up a needless fanboy argument and ask: Do you prefer the Star Wars movies, or the Marvel MCU movies?

<i>Rogue One</i> Is A Refreshing Dive Into The Muck Of The <i>Star Wars</i> Universe
A good proxy test for the tone of a Star Wars movie is the demeanor of the featured droids. R2-D2 and C-3PO carry out a cheerful buddy comedy in a movie that is about friendship and hope triumphing over evil. BB-8 is a version of R2-D2 that’s been multiplied by itself several times over until it’s n...
