  I’ve been into comics since age 9, casually, but fell HARD into the MCU after seeing Iron Man in theaters. Staying for the first end credit scene, seeing Sam Jackson come out with the patch on his eye knowing HE was Nick Fury, was a dream come true. I’ve seen every movie a minimum 10 times. Not only do the comics stick close to original stories but the actors/actresses chosen really show the emotional weight and toll. I’m the defacto “what the hell is this marvel movie/story” person for my groups of friends and social media friends too. I love everything about these movies and study the intricate details of every one. Whether it be the dichotomy of Bucky’s fall in Cap 1 vs Cap’s Fall in Winter Soldier, Tony’s PTSD from what he’s seen and feeling he needs to be the protector of the world, or the absolute emotion of Wanda killing Vision in Infinity War as he mouths “I Love You” as he dies, I’ve got it all. In fact an Android and Enhanced Witch falling in love sounds odd to most people but amazes me with both comic accuracy and perfect execution in cinema. I don’t doubt there are others that know what I know, but truly feel my knowledge and competitive nature would make me a great contestant. To quote a great man “if the animals can find the strength, why can’t we?”

  There’s no one...NO ONE that knows more about the movies than me. And this is my time to shine. Movie marathons before End Game?...too easy. Quizzo night on the movies?...way too easy (I win all rounds) I created an entire backyard movie theatre to watch Infinity Wars by a new fire pit. My son was born April 27, 2019 one day after Iron Man brought Thanos to an end, so we named him Tony Stark. From owning the collectibles to entire Blu-ray sets, there’s nothing that can get past me.
