Any comic book fan who grew up in the 1990s very likely remembers the "X-Men" cartoon on Fox. Even if you can't recall every single episode, chances are that you can at least remember the show's opening and theme song.
If that's the case, then today's your lucky day: filmmaker Kyle Roberts has recreated the "X-Men" opening using action figures. It's tremendous. Take a look below!

"The Walking Dead" skipped past its long winter in between seasons two and three, but fans of the show are struggling through their own form of winter hiatus right now. While the show is off the air, it's fun to imagine what Rick Grimes and his companions are up to in these cold December months — after all, a zombie can eat your brain, but it can't eat your holiday cheer!
Jawiin created their very own special holiday tribute to the cast and crew of "Walking Dead," complete with a cameo appearance from "Breaking Bad" meth dealer Jesse Pinkman. (Sort of!)
Watch the parody below.

Just when you thought Bane's voice couldn't sound any more ridiculous... well, here you go: a "Dark Knight Rises" trailer completely redone with Legos. (Yes, again.) And yes, that includes a Lego-Bane fully quipped with Tom Hardy's unforgettable digitally-enhanced voice. Watch below!

As the saying goes, nobody's perfect — not even your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Sure, we're big fans of the wall-crawler around these parts, but the same can't be said for everyone, especially where the hero's recent movie reboot, "The Amazing Spider-Man," is concerned. The folks at Cinema Sins put a video together highlighting all of the major flaws they spotted in Marc Webb's take on the Marvel Comics icon — and while we think they were overly critical and off the mark at times, they do raise some good points. (Particularly regarding Bruce Campbell, or a sad lack thereof.)
Find out everything wrong with "The Amazing Spider-Man" (in less than two minutes) in the video below.

More than a month has passed since "Star Wars: Episode VII" became a reality, and we're still scratching our heads over what's to come. Is Disney making new "Star Wars" movies a good idea or a horrible one? Will the Skywalkers once again be front and center, or are we about to meet a brand new roster of heroes and villains? So many questions!
Believe it or not, even the original "Star Wars" characters have some questions of their own... as imagined by Emily Whitten and Marc Vuletich, authors of the "Avengers Take Hollywood" parody comics we ran on MTV Splash Page earlier this year. They're back at it again today with a brand new parody focused on the year's big "Star Wars" news, and what the future has in store for fans of that galaxy oh-so far away.
Read the full comic below!

Captain Planet is back, but it's debatable whether he's better than ever.
Don Cheadle's epic take on "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" first graced our lives last year, and we haven't been the same ever since. But as it quickly became clear in Cheadle's first Funny or Die skit, this wasn't Captain Planet as we best remembered him.
Well, Cheadle has shot a sequel to his first video, and Earth hasn't fared too well in the time since we last saw it. Check out the skit after the jump, and find out why one newscaster now calls Captain Planet the Earth's "cruel overlord."
(Warning: some NSFW language ahead.)

When it comes to the rouges' gallery of Gotham, it's difficult to imagine them as anything other than fully formed adults. But considering that they're all roughly the same age, it stands to reason that some of them knew each other growing up or even went to high school together.
Or they all went to high school together.
This is how a new fan-made trailer for "Gotham High" sees things going. The clip, which comes from the folks over at Movie Clips Trailers, features many of the characters from Nolan's Batman universe (and the actors who played them) as teenagers.
The result is a convincing preview that mashes up teen movies like "10 Things I Hate About You," "The Breakfast Club," and, best of all, "Powder."
Check out the video (via Blastr) after the jump!

When I caught up with Jeremy Renner at "Saturday Night Live" last week, I asked him if we might see Earth's Mightiest Heroes take the Studio 8H stage. He said…
"Perhaps, perhaps not." Now that the show is over, we can change that answer to a definitive "yes." Renner was at the heart of a sketch that lampooned his "Avengers" hero's superpower — namely, the ability to shoot arrows like a total champ. Unless he runs out of arrows, that is. In which case, he's just a total chump.
Watch the "SNL" sketch in the video below!

You've surely seen the "Iron Man 3" trailer by now. And surely you've noticed something wrong with the whole picture: there's just too much damn budget in every shot.
But never fear: a new sweded version of the "Iron Man 3" trailer has fixed that problem.
See it below!

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is coming out on Blu-ray and DVD in a week, so you know what that means: It's time for another Honest Movie Trailer.
Though the newest venture into the Spider-Man universe was received well when it hit theaters back in June, fans had plenty of nitpicks about the plot of the film. They might not be especially relevant anymore, but they're still hilarious to rehash and laugh at.
Enter the Honest Trailers' take on "The Amazing Spider-Man," which you can watch after the jump. Everything from The Lizard to Andrew Garfield's stutter were up to be mocked, and mocked they definitely were.
