    Summer Superheroes, Honest Takes with Rick Stasi

    Send us a text Two mega-franchises landed this summer, and we brought in artist and writer Rick Stacey to pull back the cape. We start with Superman’s newest outing and ask a simple question with a thorny answer: when does reinvention enrich a legend, and when does it chip away at what makes the character feel true? From the collar and Kingdom Come-leaning emblem to David Corenswet’s earnest performance, we parse the choices that worked, the ones that nag, and why multiverse logic can both empower artists and blur brand identity. We also spar over Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, celebrate Rachel Brosnahan’s sharp, modern Lois, and weigh the Justice Gang’s cameos—fun in theory, uneven in execution. Supergirl’s hard edge tees up Woman of Tomorrow, but not without debate. Then we pivot to Fantastic Four First Steps, where a retro-future canvas finally gives us a real Galactus and a world that winks at Kirby without drowning in homage. The cast draws mixed marks: Vanessa Kirby brings steel and soul to Sue, Johnny sparks but needs room to breathe, Ben hits the heart if not the gravel, and Reed’s screen presence never fully sells the brilliant elasticity fans crave. We talk missed visual awe—where’s the mind-bending stretch that screams “Kirby scale”?—and smart choices like skipping the origin to get straight to team chemistry. Along the way, we tackle fandom’s endless Stan vs. Jack tug-of-war, praise Daredevil’s craft as a model for grounded storytelling, and consider how DC under James Gunn and a recalibrating Marvel can rebuild credibility in a multiverse era. If you care about casting, costume storytelling, and the thin line between nostalgia and novelty, this is your deep dive. Hit play, then tell us where you landed: which film felt most like the heroes you love? Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more fans find the show.
