Superhero Pantheon – The Reel World

The Superhero Pantheon Series Finale

Five years is a long time, but in many ways it’s felt like a blip.

Jerome and Brian reflect on the podcast, superhero movies, and even the ending lines that come at the end of each podcast. It’s end of a long journey but also the start of a new one.

The Superhero Pantheon: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (and The Holiday Special)

For the last five years, Jerome and Brian have been hooked on a feeling… that being reviewing and discussing a long list of superhero movies to determine the very best (and worst) for the Superhero Pantheon (or pile of shame).

This week, they discuss one last movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. While there will be a series finale and two more episodes of Pantheon Plus, this is a rather significant episode. There is even a ten minute preamble as Jerome and Brian discuss the holiday special.

The Superhero Pantheon: Iron Man 3 (2023 Rewatch)

A movie that is already in the Superhero Pantheon, Iron Man 3 has been a debated film all across this website. It’s only fitting that Jerome and Brian finally review the movie, even though they lost the deadpool bet and put it into the Pantheon by way of gambling with fictional people’s lives.

The Superhero Pantheon: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Yes, we know it’s probably way too early to put this move up for Pantheon eligibility but gosh darn it, Across the Spider-Verse is pretty much an instant classic. Both Brian and Jerome absolutely love the artwork, music and story. It’s perhaps a little too long, but that doesn’t kill the flow of the film.

The Superhero Pantheon: Loki (Season 1 & 2)

Jerome and Brian continue their MCU binge with Loki, Seasons 1 and 2! Based on the positive reactions to the finale, they decided to call an audible and review the series as a whole. They discuss some of the more frustrating parts of the show while also praising the sets and music. Plus they give their thoughts on Key Lime Pie!

The Superhero Pantheon: ‘The Marvel Carousel’

Jerome and Brian now discuss the ups and downs of the MCU from Phase 4 into the current Phase 5. Some agreements, some disagreements but overall both seem to agree that Marvel has had more misses than hits recently.

The Superhero Pantheon: Harley Quinn (Season 3 Episode 8) ‘Batman Begins Forever’

Harley Quinn has been a solid show for three different streaming services. Jerome and Brian decide to explore one of the most important episodes of the series as the creators explore the core moment of Bruce Wayne’s life, the murder of his parents. While it has become borderline self-parody at this point, this show decides to take it seriously.

The Superhero Pantheon: The Batman (Rewatch)

Jerome and Brian take out their vengeance on all of the DC movies this decade by reviewing one of the two good ones (the other will be discussed briefly in two weeks). Is this indeed the fifth Batman worthy enough for the Pantheon? Also, why has 1995 been so influential on this character?

The Superhero Pantheon: Zack Snyder’s Justice League

Jerome swore they would never discuss this movie in full, but with the end of the Superhero Pantheon in sight, consider this a gift to Brian.

Can this movie overcome all odds and make it into the Pantheon? Has Jerome joined the Snyderverse?

The Superhero Pantheon- Giant Sized Summer Annual: Spider-Man: No Way Home

Jerome and Brian have decided to bring back here at the end of August to discuss a personal favorite, 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

They go through the usual categories and what this movie meant for the actors, the MCU, and society at-large given the box office in a COVID world. Find out whether they finally take advantage of their power and take some responsibility to put a live action Spider-Man movie into the Superhero Pantheon.
