Chrissy Teigen, One Of Twitter's Bright Lights, Leaves Platform
#ChrissyTeigen, the model turned cookbook author and #LipSyncBattle co-host, has left #Twitter. I don't understand why those on Twitter need to be so cruel with those they take exception with, for whatever reason. From what I can see, Teigen has approached most topics with humor, warmth, and sensitivity. She's approached the "haters" with snark and dry sarcasm, which I generally tend to appreciate. She didn't even bat an eyelash when then-president #DonaldTrump decided to take a swipe at her and her husband, music sensation #JohnLegend.

Back in 2016, when I sat down to watch Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice in theatres, I was excited. Despite its problems, Man of Steel hadn't been a terrible introduction to the DC Universe, and I was interested in seeing how characters like Batman and Wonder Woman were to be introduced, especially since they didn't have any independent movies tying into BvS. Marvel seemed to have the formula for superhero movies down to a science, so seeing someone try something different was refreshing. Unfortunately, I did not have a good time - the movie was clunky, excruciatingly long, and quite boring in its entirety. I left the theatre thoroughly disappointed, and make no mistake, I really wanted to care - DC has some of my favorite superheroes, and ever since watching Superman Returns as a kid, I've always wanted to see them on the big screen. However, BvS was so dull that I found that I was pessimistic about any movie in the franchise panning out to be a success. I stayed away from the future movies after this - I watched the first Wonder Woman movie, and despite it being surprisingly good, it was not enough to convince me to get invested in the extended universe.

Realistically, Wayne can be compared to a myriad of other shows/movies because it has a lot of different elements to it. Freaks and Geeks, True Romance, The End of the F***ing World, The Wizard of Oz, The Hobbit, Baby Driver, Road Trip, any many more. However, my favorite comparison has been “John Wick meets John Hughes.” It seems to sum it up perfectly. Wayne, a young Dirty Harry, who is literally unable to stand for what he deems as injustice is quick to put himself in harm's way to make things right.

Kayla SamanthaPublished 3 years ago in GeeksHistory & Heroism at its finest w/ "The Last Kingdom"
What's the one thing that irritates you the most when you embark on a new series? Of the many that exist, perhaps what are the top three? A lack of consistency, irritating characters you can't seem to get rid of (think Geoffrey or Little Finger from Game of Thrones), and a protagonist that doesn’t earn your full support or vibe with, just about does it for me! But on those notes I’ve been in luck, as Netflix’s The Last Kingdom holds no traces of the aforementioned grievances whatsoever! With only four seasons – the most recent having just arrived earlier this year – The Last Kingdom is not only consistent beginning to “end”, but it also boasts a protagonist that knows how to use his head as well as he wields his sword, isn’t prejudiced, and he’s a funny guy. Lastly, this series is a true rarity that rewards your patience – especially for characters that begin to test yours. Talk about a dream series!
The Perfect Formula
If This, Then That...... I get signs from the universe when I pick my favorite binge-worthy show from the action - packed scenes of Blacklist to the dark thrillers of Supernatural; these are all shows that I have watched since I was young. I am older now and I still love them! My recomendation for " The Perfect Formula" is a little bit of magic, action, realism, a sprinkle of open-mindedness, inspiration and a dash of subtle influence from your surrounding environments and Viola you have the perfect recipe for an amzing binge worthy T.V. experience.

If you’re a die-hard, nail-biting, sweat-through-your-clothes-while-you-watch-the-movies kind of Marvel Universe fan like me, you’ve probably seen the entire Marvel movie collection, and you’ve probably also read (like me):
