They did it! Five years ago Marvel Studios set out to boldly go where no studio has gone before and created their own movie universe. The seeds were planted in Iron Man during a post credits sequence where Nick Fury (Samuel Jackson) spoke to Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) aka Iron Man about something called “the Avengers Initiative.” Over four years 2 Iron Man movies, a Thor movie, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk movies and the Avengers have been assembled. Avengers not only lives up to the anticipation, it far exceeds it. (more…)

If you’ve seen Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, and Thor you know there is a thread connecting these movies together in the form of a clandestine government organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. To promote Thor, Acura teamed up with Marvel to produce the “S.H.I.E.L.D. Assessment Kit,” a mock attaché with various tests to see if you’re worthy of becoming an agent. I was lucky enough to receive one of these kits in the mail. So what’s it like? Does it provide any hints about the upcoming Avengers movie? I think so. Click below to find out more. (more…)

In a summer ruled and dominated by hype for a Dark Knight, Iron Man was initially looked upon as just another super hero at best. Then people saw the movie and thanks to a career resurrecting performance by Robert Downey Jr., it has joined the elite ranks of Superman, Spider-Man, Batman Begins, and X-Men as an intelligent, fun, and defining movie in the Super Hero genre. So of course a sequel was inevitable. As if the standards of the first Iron Man weren’t high enough, remember the company that movie keeps. In addition to being defining takes on the Super Hero genre what else do Superman, Spider-Man, Batman Begins, and X-Men have in common with one another? Their sequels arguably surpass their predecessors. So, as you can see, Iron Man 2 has some pretty high standards to live up to. To keep things simple Iron Man 2 is not better than Iron Man. Does that make it a bad movie? Absolutely not. Is it good? Yes. Should you see it? Yes. And I’ll tell you why…Warning: Some Spoilers ahead! (more…)

In the summer of 1986, children were traumatized when Optimus Prime sacrificed himself to stop his archrival, Megatron. But it wasn’t Megatron who pulled the trigger, it was a writer named Ron Friedman.
Ron Friedman wrote Transformers: The Movie. He wrote the five-part miniseries that launched GI Joe. He is close friends with Stan Lee and helped Stan develop The Marvel Action Hour, featuring Iron Man and Fantastic Four. He has written episodes of All in the Family, Happy Days, and Fantasy Island. In addition to his writing credentials, Ron is an architect and a teacher at Chapman University.
In 2014, Ron plans to chronicle his experiences as a writer in the memoir, I Killed Optimus Prime. The book promises a fascinating look behind the scenes of the shows that defined our childhood.
I had the privilege of speaking with Ron about his career, his friendship with Stan Lee, what he thought when he first saw the Transformers, how Orson Welles became Unicron, and why he didn’t want to kill Optimus Prime.
So, to kick off the 30th Anniversary of the Transformers, Ron Friedman, the man who killed Optimus Prime.
