Captain America: Civil War Trailer Breakdown

I know I said that my next post would be a Flash: Gorilla Warfare review, but, because of the release of the Captain America: Civil War trailer, I am deciding to to do a breakdown of that trailer. But, if you wanted to read my Flash review, don't worry because I will still publish it, just a bit later in the week (Friday-Saturday).

Before I start, the a link to the trailer is right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43NWzay3W4s



The trailer started with Captain America and Falcon confronting Bucky Barnes, who, in the previous Captain America film, played brainwashed villain the Winter Soldier. Bucky seems to remember who Captain America is now, and seems to know everything about him. Captain America then warns Bucky that people are coming to capture him...and are not intending to bring him alive.

This then ensues into a battle with the local SWAT team, where Cap and Falcon attack the soldiers while Bucky escapes.

This action sequence starts the trailer off brilliantly, and confirms that the action we will get will be awesome. And then, as usual, we have slow music to continue the trailer.



The next scene we see a helicopter flying over the ocean with a SHIELD logo on its side. This helicopter probably contains General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, one of the main antagonists of the Incredible Hulk.

We then see him in the next shot in some kind of militaristic facility, perhaps the Avengers tower, which then leads into him giving some sort of pep talk to Captain America, with Black Widow also present in the room.

Thunderbolt was talking to Cap about the difference between a hero and a vigilante, and how some people are starting to see him as the latter.



Another thing we see a quick glimpse of is a book called the Sovokia Accords. Sovokia is the fictional country in which the final battle happened between the Avengers and Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It is also the birthplace of Scarlet Witch, who I will be talking about later.

It seems Bucky also seems to have returned to America, as he rides a motorcycle down a busy road. While this is happening, Black Widow is talking to the Captain, trying to convince him not to continue protecting Bucky. The Captain takes this as a threat, which is probably the start of him going rogue.



We subsequently see many trained soldiers pointing their weapons at Captain America and then the first appearance of Iron Man in this trailer. He is definitely wearing a new suit (Mk. 50? 60?) and, when taking the helmet off, seems to have a black eye. Does this imply that he and the Cap have already had a fight, or maybe he has fought Bucky?

Then we see a shot of Captain America's suit being taken away, along with the Falcon's. This is probably the main reason that the two heroes aren't in costume when confronting Bucky at the beginning of the trailer.

We then see Bucky getting a gun, in what looks like a new version of the Winter Soldier suit, and Captain America standing next to him, both of them looking ready for war. The shot also seems to foreshadow what I think will happen, which is that Bucky will be the new Captain America following this film.


Then we get to the action. First is Falcon jumping off a building and engaging his wings. Then Captain America is being shot at by a helicopter. Black Widow now talks about how they both know that there is going to be a war.

There is a team shot featuring Iron Man and War Machine (Iron Man's surprisingly small team) and then another team shot of Captain America's team, consisting of Captain America, Bucky, Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch.

Then Bucky seems to be desperately running away from Iron Man, who seems to be shooting at him. A clear shot is then seen of Black Panther, who looks absolutely astounding. His sleek black suit and silver, metal spikes make it seem very olde-worlde and very, very cool. 

This is our first, proper look at the hero, and he looks epic. Then another shot of the Cap's team running into action. Now we see something that I was very surprised at...Black Panther fighting Bucky. I very much expected Black Panther to be on Cap's side, as he is in the comics.

Then we see Black Widow fighting soldiers (S.H.I.E.L.D) which is another surprising shot...is Black Widow against the agency that employed her?

Then we have a chase between Captain America, Black Panther and Bucky.



Then we have a montage of the fallen. War Machine is seen unconscious on the ground. He may even be dead. Then Bucky looking like he's regretting everything and finally, a fight scene between Iron Man, Captain America and Bucky.

From this trailer, the film looks excellent and the next trailer will hopefully be even better. If you would like me do a post on a) a theory post on what will happen or b) Who is Black Panther? then leave it in the comments below.

Thank you for reading and I will see you next time for my Gorilla Warfare review.

Doctor Who Heaven Sent Trailer #2 Breakdown

On the same day that Face the Raven, we got two new trailers for the next episode: Heaven Sent. I am going to be looking at the second trailer, because it has more detail and has more things to look at.

If you would like to see this trailer before I start, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qph1iXXocPQ

1. The Monster

The monster in this episode looks extremely creepy, like something straight from a 15-rated horror movie. 

This creature is probably going to be called the Veil, a creature we know will be in an episode. As the Doctor describes it, the monster seems to be following him, hunting him. It is slow, but it never stops. In the trailer, the Doctor seems to be almost afraid of it...and the Doctor's not supposed to be afraid of anything. This creature must be powerful, and also very creepy, if the Doctor is going to be scared of it himself.

In the next time trailer, the Doctor seems to think he knows this creature, that its someone he's met before, Now, we haven't met any creature like this before in Doctor Who, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be someone the Doctor knows but we don't. 

The Doctor also seems to think this monster played some part in the death of Clara, which he will be coming back to constantly in the next two episodes.

2. The Location

This location seems to be some sort of remote prison island in the middle of a vast sea. It seems to be an ever-moving structure which is trying to scare the Doctor to death...maybe even literally. On one of the shots you can see the structure is moving like a rubik's cube, and in another there is a painting of Clara. It's as if the island itself is trying to torture the Doctor mentally. And in one shot we also see the Doctor bruised and wounded, as if he's dying. This could mean it's also torturing him mentally.

3. The Doctor

This episode will obviously focus solely on the Doctor, as he (and the Veil) is the only character in this episode. It seems he will have to go through both mental and physical hell, and will have to solve countless puzzles to be able to escape from this monstrous structure.

The Doctor is also going to be very angry and regretful about Clara's death and the events of the previous episode, and he will probably channel this anger into his plans of escape. 

As I mentioned earlier, the Doctor seems to be scared of this creature, which means it must be either very powerful or very, very frightening.

4. The Action

The first trailer, the next time trailer, makes the episode seem quite calm and quietly creepy, instead of full of action. However, the second trailer makes the episode look very action-packed and will thrust the Doctor into action.

It seems that the Doctor will be pulling off a large number of stunts, such as jumping off a building and punching a large, crystallized wall. The Doctor also seems to be digging some kind of grave or hole, maybe to trap the monster in (but probably not).





So that's the trailer breakdown for Heaven Sent. My next post, which will be on Thursday, is going to be a review on the tonight's episode of Flash: Gorilla Warfare.

Top 5 Doctor Who Episodes

Hi guys. Today I'm going to be revealing my top 5 episodes of Doctor Who. These only include episodes of New Who (2005-) and will also only include full-length episodes. I know I promised to post blogs more often, and this will be the first of many. So, without further ado, here are my top 10 Doctor Who episodes.

#5-The Pandorica Opens

The Pandorica Opens is amazing for one reason...it has everything in it. Romans, Stonehenge, River Song, Cybermen heads with killer tentacles, Daleks, creepy houses, a prison for the doctor...it just has everything.

The episode's pre-credits sequence is brilliant, when a Van Gogh painting of the TARDIS exploding is sent from Van Gogh to Churchill, then to Liz 10, then to River Song and finally to the Doctor himself, in Roman England. The story is just a rollercoaster from there, featuring the Doctor finding the legendary Pandorica under Stonehenge, the Romans turning out to be Autons, Amy killed by her plastic boyfriend and much more.

This episode is filled with suspense, but also witha couple of jokes, and the occasional tear-jerking. The four different cliffhangers all clash brilliantly. A brilliant finale, the only thing that could've made this episode better is for more of the Alliance to be seen, and for them to be seen more extensively.

Score-9.5/10

#4-The Stolen Earth  

The Stolen Earth is the penultimate episode of Series 4 and, just like the Pandorica Opens, features everything. But this time, it's returning heroes...not villains.

Chronicling the Daleks' attack on Earth, the episode saw the return of many of the Doctor's trusted companions, including Rose (Billie Piper), Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri), Wilfred Mott (Bernard Cribbins) and many others. It also saw the return of Classic Who villain Davros, and the iconic Davros.

This episode is one of the best Doctor Who episodes because it focuses a lot more on the companions than the Doctor fighting the monsters. An episode filled with suspense, it ends with a brilliant and chilling cliffhanger...the Doctor regenerating.

Score-9.5/10

#3-The Waters of Mars

The Waters of Mars is the 3rd of the five specials of Series 4. This episode is one of the scariest episodes of New Who, and makes the viewer temporarily scared of water itself.

The episode also sees the Doctor go completely omnipotent and breaks the rules of time, changing a fixed point. The Flood are one of the creepiest monsters ever to exist in Doctor Who and make this episode even more of a rollercoaster.

Overall, this episode (written by Phil Ford (Into the Dalek) and Russell T Davies (The Stolen Earth) is a brilliant addition to the Doctor Who mythos, and is truly the beginning of the end for David Tennant.

Score-9.5/10

#2-Last Christmas

Last Christmas is the 2014 Christmas Special, and sees the Doctor and Clara face Dream Crabs, creatures that eat your face while you are in a  perpetual dream. The episode introduces another one of the creepiest Doctor Who monsters (Dream Crabs) and also introduces Doctor Who's version of Santa, played by Nick Frost.

The episode also introduces us to Shona, a Russian girl who is very feisty and makes for a very funny character. She has been suggested to be the new companion numerously over the internet, and now with Clara gone, it is possible she may step in.

Score09.5/10

Honourable Mentions

Before I unveil my top pick, here are some honorable mentions.

• Blink-The creepiest episode of Doctor Who ever and one of the best. (2007)
• Human Nature/The Family of Blood-A brilliant episode which makes the Doctor much more humane. (2007)
• The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion-A classic piece about a rogue group of Zygons attacking the Earth. (2015)
• Dark Water/Death in Heaven-A dark and gritty two-parter introducing the female Master-Missy. (2014)
• Under the Lake-A fantastic ghost story set underwater. A true piece of Sci-Fi Horror. (2015)

#1-Face the Raven

Face the Raven was the most recent episode of Doctor Who broadcast...and the best. Starting with your average Doctor Who plot of a mysterious tattoo on the back of Rigsy's neck...which turned out to be a countdown to his death. However, as the tale continued it featured some twists...such as Clara taking the tattoo from Rigsy and the return of Ishildr (a.k.a Lady Me). 

Up until then, the episode was still a brilliant one, but not the best. However the last scene, when Clara learnt that taking the tattoo from Rigsy was fatal, made it so good. Clara saying goodbye, and the Doctor swearing he would take his revenge on Me if she didn't do anything made it even better.

But the package was properly complete when Clara stepped outside the house she was inside and faced the Raven. And then...she was dead. The shocking end made for a brilliant episode, and by far the best ending for a companion.

Score-9.5/10

Thank you for reading. My next post will be a trailer breakdown on the second trailer for the next Doctor Who episode: Heaven Sent.

Blog Update

In this post, I will be telling you about my Blog Update.

I haven't been posting much recently, but I will start doing one every week soon. This is something that I am very excited about doing and I hope you are too. My posts will be focusing on things such as Doctor Who, Star Wars, James Bond, Minecraft and Lego Dimensions.


I'm also hoping to start my YouTube channel up soon, which will be called GeekHideout, and also a collaborative channel with two youtubers: Zeqt & Henry's Media Mix (who also has a really good blog). I'm really looking forward to doing these and I hope you will enjoy them too.

Doctor Who Series 9: What is the Sisterhood of Karn?

Hello. My name is GeekHideout and this is my third blog. After the premier episode of Doctor Who Series 9, The Magician's Apprentice, was broadcast, many people were asking who are the Sisterhood of Karn? I am publishing this blog to answer that question.


The Sisterhood of Karn first appeared in 1976, in a 4th Doctor story named "The Brain of Morbius". The story, inspired my Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, saw the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith materialise on a planet called Karn, which the Doctor has been taken to by the Time Lords.We then find out that a group of mystical women called "The Sisterhood of Karn". The Doctor and Sarah are kidnapped by them, and then learn of the Elixir of Life.

Sisterhood of Karn Essential Knowledge:
1. Elixir of Life: The Elixir of Life is fuelled by the mystical sacred flame. It is vital to the Sisterhood, as it gives them an extended lifespan. It was produced from underground springs, which came from a massive cave where the rocks were full of strange minerals and jewels.


The Sisterhood of Karn did not appear again, and were thought to be completely forgotten with the cancellation of Doctor Who in 1989. However, when Doctor Who returned in 2005 there was hope for their return, and then they did: in Big Finish's Vengeance of Morbius.

An audio adventure starring Paul McGann as the Doctor and Sheridan Smith as companion Lucie Miller, it saw the return of rogue Time Lord Morbius as he tried to take over the universe. The story was also an opportunity to bring back fan-favourites the Sisterhood of Karn. There were only two members seen, or rather heard, in the storyline, but it was nonetheless successful enough to warrant their return in the 50th Anniversary short: The Night of the Doctor.


The Night of the Doctor was a 50th Anniversary short explaining the origin of the War Doctor, and also detailed the final Eighth Doctor adventure. It was a critical success, especially because of the return of the Sisterhood of Karn. They resurrected the Doctor after he died in a crash, and gave him a choice. A choice about what his next regeneration would be. He chose a warrior.


Their role in The Magician's Apprentice was short but important, as they managed to give the Doctor Davros's message without giving him up.

There are rumours of their return, but, except for that, there is no inclination that the Sisterhood of Karn will be seen again. But, as they have made a big impact in Doctor Who, they will almost definitely return again,
