One thing about the origins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that’s easy to forget these days is that much of the Avengers stuff was inspired by the Ultimate Marvel comics, specifically The Ultimates.

In lieu of the Matrix Resurrections trailer, you should revisit the Wachowskis’s absolutely bonkers (but fun) Speed Racer movie. “Flesh-and-blood actors have many physical limitations, which means that adapting cartoons for the big screen in a live-action format runs the risk of diminishing their zaniness and elasticity.

School of Rock is back! On Netflix, that is. This is excellent news.
