Does Batman Exist in the CW's Arrowverse?
So far we have seen a lot of Easter Eggs and references in Arrow, Supergirl, and even Legends of Tomorrow. Those were a nice and subtle reference to our favorite Caped Crusader, but since Tyler Hoechlin played Superman on Supergirl, we are all expecting Batman to appear in some way. #CW can't just mess with the fans, and they keep referencing Batman and Batman-themed vigilantes. The first question all fans are asking is:

Redefining Sitcom
Warning for Spoilers. For the most part, Friends was the last sitcom of its time. It was the last sitcom, possibly even television show, that people genuinely sat down to watch together. Friends was a show that at the time catered to the masses, a show that was liberal with its humour and yet conservative with its representation. I know that some of you are thinking that I'm another Gen Z snowflake who needs to get over myself and that Friends is a classic. I agree that Friends is a classic, and to this day is still watchable, but the truth is that its representation sucks. Fact one: out of ten seasons of the show, there is only one character of colour that appears in more than one episode, and that to me is shocking, especially considering that Friends is set in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. Fact two: the LGBTQ+ community is not only underrepresented but also the butt of the joke on most occasions. I understand that at the time of the show's release homosexuality was still considered by the majority of people to be wrong and laughable and that's why it's portrayed the way it is in Friends; that doesn't excuse the fact that this wouldn't happen on TV now. Fact three: Ross was a crappy boyfriend who treated Rachel like his property rather than his girlfriend bringing, him across as a little sexist. He didn't trust her, he hated the idea of her being friends with Mark, and didn't want her to have a life separate from him. I will, however, stipulate that they were on a break.

'The Loud House': An Inclusive Animation
The Loud House: An Inclusive Animation Through the years, Nickelodeon has been through many incarnations of animations. In 2016, they released a show called The Loud House. The show's premise is focused on a young boy, Lincoln, who lives with his ten sisters and manages his life as the only boy. The episodes revolve around Lincoln learning valuable lessons about life and family, a set of values that is often expressed in Nickelodeon shows. However, The Loud House takes a little bit of a different approach. The show is more inclusive than any other animated show that I have seen on television in the last year.

A Review of Avatar: The Last Airbender
Growing up, cartoons were a huge part of my childhood. I remember getting up early on Saturday mornings just to catch an episode of shows like Jimmy Neutron or Spongebob Squarepants. While these shows were entertaining, they were not captivating enough for me to delve into in greater detail beyond enjoying what I saw on the screen. To be fair, this isn't detrimental, as many cartoons children watch at that age don't do this, and if they did, they presented information in such a convoluted way that it became difficult to follow.
