Shipping Wednesday and Enid - Just No
I thoroughly enjoyed Wednesday, even though there were a few angsty moments that had me cringing, I mean love triangles are so overdone and I didn’t understand why the boys continued to pursue when she clearly wasn’t interested. Wednesday Addams clearly isn’t romantic relationship material and why should she be. She’s 16 and has plenty of time for that.

Great Comic Book Writers
Stan Lee This list of course begins with Stan Lee, who wasn't the first writer in comics, but he was one of the earliest, beginning his career with a small piece in "Captain America Comics" #3 in May, 1941, published before there even was a Marvel Comics. The company was called Timely Comics at the time, and Lee stayed there throughout his career, becoming Editor, Publisher, and Chairman Emeritus before his death in 2017. Lee's greatest legacy was co-creating the "Marvel Age of Comics" in the early 1960s, primarily with artist Jack Kirby, though the character who came to symbolize Marvel, Spider-Man, was co-created with artist Steve Ditko.

Things That Feel Like Winter
Now as we discovered in October there are certain pieces of media that feel like fall and likewise there are pieces of media that feel like winter. These are the perfect shows, movies, music and books to experience when it's raining or snowing outside and you are just trying to stay warm. Occasionally I have no explanations for these and it's just a feeling but sometimes these things are meant to feel like winter.

Glee Christmas Episodes
Glee was a moment, it was iconic for all of the wrong reasons but that doesn’t stop many of us past gleeks from hate re-watching. That said there were good episodes, among them being the Christmas ones. So I have decided to rank the Glee Christmas episodes. These are being ranked based on musical performances, song choice and storyline.

6 Most Important Moments In The 'Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special'
Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially come to an end with the release of The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney Plus. For the most part, the special was just a fun, festive epilogue to cap off the first Phase of the Multiverse Saga. However, Director James Gunn has revealed that, while as fun to write as it was to watch, the Holiday Special also served a practical purpose, as he was able to use it to set up certain plot points and characters that will be important in the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, thereby saving time in that film.
