What Is the Difference Between Science Fiction and Science Fantasy?
You know Superman, right? He's probably one of the most well-known forms of science fiction fantasy, but he's not the only one. All superheroes, in their own right, are more fantastical than they are scientific, which is the moral of this story. Most obvious of takeaways from this question of what is the difference between science fiction and science fantasy is the juxtaposition of fantasy tropes in line with those of the more science-oriented, however this concept (and overall query) goes far deeper into the contexts of a story, its characters, and the makeup of a plot as a whole. One can take, for instance, Star Wars as a valid example, for although it is highly science fiction-oriented, many consider it fantasy for a number of reasons.

Who Is the Father of Ash Ketchum?
Aside from stuff like "what happens inside of a Pokéball" and "why doesn't Ash age," one of the biggest unanswered questions and most sought after conspiracies behind the classic anime and video game, Pokémon, is the identity of Ash Ketchum's father. We do know his mother is Delia Ketchum, a sincere, gentle, and always smiling saint of a woman still living in Pallet Town, but his father is only ever mentioned once. There are a many theories and a few hints as to who (or what) he may be, like a deceased Pokémon trainer or Professor Oak himself, but as you can see, not all of them are all that great. Despite this, some theories do offer us both a look into the Pokéworld, as well as at the people living inside of it.

Starborn: A Kuri Origin Story
A draft wafts through the open Build Room window, shivering the dusty curtain and slightly revealing half of a medium-sized piece of machinery hidden in the dimly lit corners of the room. Near and with his back to the window, a young professor in his early 30s stands slanted over a tabletop, where rests a vast array of blueprints, small tools and bits, in addition to a round-white-dome-like shape unnaturally glowing under the overhanging lamp.

Best Discontinued Fast Food Sauces
It's garnered somewhat of a cult following over the years: fast food condiments and their limited edition blends seem to have captured us all with their amazing tastes and unlikely duos, like spicy honey mustard and citrusy orange blends—they tried it all. From Jack and the Box to the big-name McDonald's, these one of a kind flavors can, unfortunately, only be found within history books. They're still discussed to this day for the very fact of their ingenuity and untimely goodness.

Best Star Wars Fan Theories
Let's talk about Star Wars. All of us tend to draw up our own theory or idea on how a certain event should or should not have taken place in a movie. When it comes to Star Wars and its seemingly unending fanbase, it's safe to say all doors are pretty much open for interpretation, that is if you're ready to have your feelings completely crushed. Star Wars fan theories quite literally range in the hundreds, possibly even thousands given the now unlimited reach of Legends (otherwise known as Extended Universe pre-Disney ownership).

Celebrities Donald Trump Has Blocked on Twitter
He's used the social media website for a host of tirades, from calling out Kim Jon Un and then nicknaming him "Rocket Man," to blundering over the concept of a hurricane, then he's even gone bashing writers like J.K. Rowling and Stephen King. But, one thing President Donald Trump hasn't truly done while on the site is make America great again, as his slogan so adamantly read now two year's old. If you've ever wondered who Trump's been most annoyed with on the canals of social media, follow this lovely guide. It's almost like the exact opposite of his Fake News Awards, despite the fact that said viewing may actually be a comic riot. Someone, please get Trump out of the White House.

How To Clean Your Engine Bay
It's okay, some people have the cluttered bedroom that never gets de-cluttered, yet even more have a kitchen that looks disastrous if at all even a kitchen. But, when it comes to vehicle care and car's prolonged livelihood, the engine bay is the one place you do not want to ignore. Keeping that lovely bay clean is actually one of the many things people tend to not do when driving a car for a long period of time. This not only damages the car, but also leaves it in a rather poor condition for too long a time, which you simply want to avoid.

Reasons Why the Jedi are the Villains in Star Wars
What was the point of Star Wars: The Last Jedi? *Spoiler Alert* Not only to end the Jedi Order, but to completely erase their being from the galaxy. Ignoring that fact, those Force wielding so-called "good guys" that almost act like a pseudo-police force in Star Wars may not be as good as we all thought them to be. While they may stand for order and justice, claiming to be the protectors of the entire universe, much of their belief system and ways of going about said "protection" aren't all that morally sound. After all, in contemporary terms, they are a religious cult that abducts children, irrationally sees themselves superior to pretty much anything within the galaxy, and are governed by a council of blind leaders that go about their businesses as if not only above the law, but in the name of order itself.

Biggest Tech Failures of All Time
There's no shortage of technological failures out there; Apple, one of the now largest companies in existence, once created what was called the Apple Newton and, one that was far worse, a gaming console called Apple Bandai Pippin. Now, not all tech companies are supposed to make something revolutionary, or enhancing to society, but it turns out that the ones who made some of the biggest tech failures turned out to have shown us all just what exactly needs to be fixed in the industry, and how best to revolutionize that ideal as a whole.

Greatest Film Screenplays of All Time
It doesn't take a genius to know that a film worthy of true potential must have an amazing script, one that not only entertains and challenges our natural inclinations, but shows us whole new potentials of the here and beyond. That's what films, writing, practically art in general, is here for, to make the things we can't understand possible, and to show us qualities of humanity through unimaginable depths. While film makers draw these aspects into life, screenwriters make possible these far flung worlds and gives them a tangible sense of realness and meaning. Film writing is the heart of truly immersive and impeccable cinema.
