The NFL playoffs are just around the corner, so FANDOM has partnered with the NFL to create three motion comics highlighting ridiculously awesome playoff performances from years past -- each with a superheroic twist. First up is Marshawn Lynch's "Beast Mode" run to seal up a Seattle Seahawks win in the 2011 Wild Card game against the New Orleans Saints.

Motion Comic: NFL Star Marshawn Lynch Enters 'Beast Mode'

Presented by NFL | When you’re putting together the ultimate NFL roster, it’s best to go super, or go home. With that in mind, Fandom enlisted former NFL outside linebacker and defensive end DeMarcus Ware — along with Muthead’s Mike McFadden, Screen Junkies Universe regular Ed Greer, and host Roxy Striar — to talk about the NFL 2020 Draft, as well as draft our own pop culture team with a fictional character line-up. From Quarterback to Defensive Back, in the video above we break down the real-world and pop culture players (looking at you, Spider-Man, Pikachu, and Optimus Prime) that we want in seven positions for the Ultimate Fandom Draft.

Comic-Con Stars Reveal Their Favorite Fandoms

Marvel Studios has a track record for making good films. Not great films  the only one that flirts with greatness is Guardians of the Galaxy  but consistently pleasing popcorn fare. There is nothing wrong with that. Easily digestible blockbuster fun is what a lot of people want out of the moviegoing experience, and SMH is no exception. But, once you start scratching away at the surface, Spider-Man: Homecoming begins to show more than a few cracks. Lets stay positive for now because there is a lot to like about Spider-Man: Homecoming. Tom Holland nails the boyish charm of Peter Parker and the childish power fantasy of being Spider-Man. The films tone backs him up as it stays consistently light without feeling too geared to little kids. And there is a lot of humor to be found in the film. Maybe too much but when the jokes do land, they are a hoot. Youre going to get a big kick out of Captain Americas appearances in the movie.But, the film does have problems. The driving plot  Spidey stopping the Vulture from selling high-tech weaponry  sounds more interesting in concept than execution. While Michael Keaton is a treat as Adrian Toomes, hes fairly restrained for most of the films running time. He gets one or two moments of over-the-top goodness, but hes pretty one-note as far as his character arc is concerned. And the actual story between him and Peter is the least enthralling element of the movie. They have a single good scene together (no spoilers) but its a small character moment thats a hundred times better than any of their duels. Their rivalry is also hindered by some misguided direction during some of the big action scenes. A lot of Spider-Man: Homecomings fight scenes take place at night and the frame is a little too dark during these bits. That issue is exacerbated by a lot of frantic editing and staging. The ideas behind the fight scenes are often cool but they get bogged down by some clunky filmmaking choices. Spider-Man: Homecoming gets a 3 out of 5. It isnt bad. Its safe, unsurprising, and a little choppy at times but never bad. If youre a big fan of the Marvel Studios films or the character of Spider-Man, youll probably love it. If youre a film fan, youll enjoy it despite its noticeable flaws and missteps. But man, just wait for that post-credits stinger. Its a doozy.

Did you come out of the theater after last year's excellent Spider-Man: Homecoming wishing you had Spidey sense and sick acrobatic moves to go with it? For Atlanta Falcons star Julio Jones, that's any given Sunday during the NFL season. Case in point: the 2017 NFC Championship game, where he made nine insane catches -- including one ending with a backward flip that would make Peter Parker proud.
