Story
We meet out royal family on a technologically-shielded moon city, Attilan, and learn that they have been there for quite some time, after having fled from tensions on earth. The story then quickly proceeds to tear the protagonists apart and leave them scattered on earth to start their individual journeys. Meanwhile, Maximus, the rebel brother of king Black Bolt, is left to manipulate their home into his own.
It’s our favourite time of year over at NerdVsWorld, that wonderful time when all our favourite shows return and some likely new favourites begin their runs. Here’s our list of the new and returning shows we’re most looking forward too.

Hello and Welcome to the show notes for NerdVsWorld Episode: 86.. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Nerds.
On this weeks show Bren and Spindles are joined by Rammy for The Wonky Gamer Podcast.
Together they review The Defenders mini-series, Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets, and the gut wrenching episode of Game of Thrones, Beyond the Wall.
It’s fair to say that I was excited for The Defenders. The Netflix MCU branch has been strong throughout (bar Iron Fist, comments about which you can see in my review) and the potential in a get-together was high. Much as Avengers Assemble brought together the feed from five films into one of the best superhero movies ever, Defenders was poised to do the same with five shows feeding into a more gritty and aggressive cousin of the film epic. What we were handed did not live up to that hype nor potential. It wasn’t overall bad but just suffered in several ways in which it shouldn’t have.
On this week's show, Brendan and Spindles give reviews of War for the Planet of the Apes, Spiderman Homecoming, Baby Driver, iZombie and much, much more.

First off, any concerns that the X-Men reboot trilogy would end with a repeat of the disaster that was X3:The Last Stand have been put to bed. Apocalypse is nowhere near that bad, on the contrary in parts it's actually pretty enjoyable; it's also not the end of this run of X-Men films.
Ok, here we go...
Captain America: Civil War is a clever, tense and often emotional, rollercoaster ride of a film; charting the struggle within the Avengers as Rogers & Co. have the fallout from their actions laid out before them. Consequence is the over-riding theme of the film.
This week, Brendan, Spindles and Emma are joined by The Architect of OxCon. We talk a bit about this upcoming event, Review Deadpool, Talk a bit more about new X-FIles, DC Legends of Tomorrow and much, much more.
