Charles Xavier is Awful - Here's Why
Many fans of Marvel know all about Professor X. He's the leader of the X-Men, advocate for mutant rights, and surrogate father to many young mutants who trained under him. On the surface, it seems like he's a great guy. However, if you were to take a closer look at his character, you'll begin to notice that he's not as much of a saint as many make him out to be.

Spider-Man: What Happens After Everyone is Sent Back Home?
It’s no mystery that Spider-Man: No Way Home has left its mark on countless lives, myself included. From tears to cheers, the film offers a constant whirlwind of visceral and surreal euphoria. It awakens the kind of feelings only channeled through nostalgia and most importantly, empathy. No one can deny that Peter Parker’s intent on saving this ragtag group of multiverse misfits was anything short of selfless, but just how successful was his plan really? With all of the rogues cured, rehabilitated and sent home, it made me wonder for their sake: What happens next? What does this mean for the universes they return to? Does their world truly change... does their fate?

Spider-Man: No Way Home, Defining Peter Parker
Prior to it’s release, Spider-Man: No Way Home has undoubtedly been the subject of more theories, debate, hope, doubt and overall anticipation than anything cinema has offered in the 21st century. Although, in a world chuck-full of intergalactic warfare, magic, espionage, and ultra-advanced technology known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sometimes it’s hard to imagine a grounded friendly neighborhood Spider-Man sliding into the mix. How can something with so much buzz both get to the root of Peter Parker and fit into this massive world in an engaging and sensical way? Maybe it's through activating "instant kill mode".

Jo Koy goes from Door to Door Comedian to Hitting the Big Time
Photo by Manouel Roman Comedian Jo Koy hit it big when he received a standing ovation on the tonight Show in 2005. His ascension prior to that point meant he literally had to be on his toes just to get by. Renting out 1000 seat venues in Vegas, Koy would sell tickets to coworkers at his three jobs for $20 a piece. Learning quickly it was much harder to get the money after the show, he actually went door to door to collect the cash several hours beforehand. Turning a small profit most of the time, his actual comedy education also came on the cheap. In other words, the persistent downfalls found only in his home town of Seattle led to the comedic rise he enjoys today.

She-Hulk, The Honest Review. Top Story - August 2022.
For the most part, I’m ignoring everything around the show, cast and crew interviews for the most part aren’t relevant. The whole, “why isn’t Bruce called He-Hulk” nonsense just isn’t relevant to the show, but there are a few bits that are so telling when you watch this show.

Why The SnyderVerse's Popularity is WBD's Best Solution!
The release of Zack Snyder's Justice League on digital platforms after its debut as an HBO Max streaming exclusive shows that there is still an appetite for the DCEU and WBD's best solution to their problems. The Snyder Cut and the concept of the SnyderVerse is one of the most demanding requests by fans for the future of the DCEU. Although the first film in the DCEU was Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, it was the release of the Snyder Cut, the latest film in a franchise that former WB executives believed was a box office failure only to become a global phenomenon.

Remember, Remember . . . V for Vendetta
I aim to write this more about the movie than the comics as I feel the movie has a wider audience, but this by no means discounts the incredible writing of the comics (obviously). I will be leaning into the comics here and there as well, of course, as it is the foundation to this entire diatribe I am about to explore.
