Marvel fanatics got their first look at the upcoming miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier during Super Bowl 2021 on Sunday via a trailer replete with explosions, stomach-flipping stunts, and all manner of intrigue. The six-episode show premieres on March 19th Disney+. Created by Malcolm Spellman, the show picks off after the events of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame — after Steve Rogers has relinquished his role as Captain America and Falcon has stepped into his boots. The show stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson (Falcon) and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier). The series also stars Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Daniel Brühl as Baron Zemo, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Noah Mills, and Carl Lumbly. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier joins much-lauded Marvel spinoff WandaVision — which also takes place after the 2019 film — on Disney’s streaming platform after pandemic-related delays. Fans will then be waiting for the forthcoming … [Read more...] about Marvel Drops First Trailer for ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ During the Super Bowl

Reddit Ad Runs Five Seconds, But Makes Its Point Against Wall Street And Robinhood
A five-second guerilla marketing ad by the Reddit subreddit r/wallstreetbets got a message across in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment just after halftime. The community was using a GoFundMe to raise money for an ad, but couldn’t reach the lofty mark in the short-time before the game. So instead, it opted to blast out the message in its five-second moment, hoping that the subsequent pick-ups (like this) would help reach the intended audience. The plan was hatched in reaction to a thirty-second Super Bowl ad by the stock-trading app Robinhood, which is currently in the dog house for blocking trading in Gamestop and other volatile stocks. Robinhood is out of touch, Reddit argued, celebrating the very people it stifled. Robinhood disrupted an ongoing short squeeze. The move has led to more than 30 class action suits.

House GameStop Hearing Delves Into Robinhood, Reddit And WallStreetBets
Vlad Tenev , founder of retail stock trading app Robinhood , told a House Committee on Thursday that “the financial system should be open to everyone,” including frenzied buyers of GameStop and AMC Entertainment whipped up by a Reddit chatroom. He apologized profusely that a funding rule had forced the app to subsequently block share purchases – a temporary restriction that was a focus of the five-hour hearing today. The stocks fell and some Robinhood users lost their shirts. Tenev was testifying before the House Financial Services Committee alongside the CEO of a hedge fund that made a killing on GameStop (Kenneth Griffin, Citadel LLC) and another that lost big in a short squeeze (Gabriel Plotkin, Melvin Capital). Individual investor Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty from his YouTube videos and Reddit posts, bought GameStop and touted it on Reddit’s colorful WallStreetBets chatroom. He agreed with lawmakers that the stock “had gotten a little ahead of itself” when it … [Read more...] about House GameStop Hearing Delves Into Robinhood, Reddit And WallStreetBets
