The Problem with Youtube Fandoms
As an Gen Z kid, I love YouTube. While the platform itself does have some flaws, the people on YouTube have changed my life. Admiring a content creator while also being a part of a community can be a really fun experience. Some of these communities even grow large enough to turn into fandoms, where people create and consume fanmade content, like fanart and fan edits.

Why 'Clue' Is an Underrated Film. Top Story - October 2018.
Clue is a great classic that falls under the category of cult. It’s not hugely popular, it’s a little cheesy, and those who do like it, love it. Not many board games can be turned into films. They just aren’t built for it. A few other attempts have been made, but they fell flat. Clue is the exception. It takes the basic concept of a murder mystery and turns it into a great story. Granted, murder mysteries are a whole genre of film that are quite successful. Though that may be true, none of them do it quite like Clue.

Namor, The Sub-Mariner: Marvel’s Preeminent Antihero
Spoilers for Avengers (2018) #8 - 9 An antihero, by definition, is a protagonist in a fictional narrative who lacks traits traditionally thought of as “heroic”. Rarely does an antihero do the right thing for altruistic purposes, almost exclusively motivated by selfishness. While Marvel has no shortage of antiheroes (such as Domino, Venom, Magneto, The Hulk, The Punisher, and Deadpool), one stands higher than others as Marvel’s truest antihero: Namor, The Sub-Mariner.

'Army of Darkness' Review
This is the ultimate definition of a "Cult Classic" or a B-Movie. A film made with an extremely low budget of 11 million dollars and is beloved by the "Dungeons and Dragons" type of nerds and video gamers everywhere. And I don't say this as a bad thing. Although you won't find me at any "dungeons and dragons" meetups, I am totally on this movie's bandwagon.

News Boy Romance
I was with the boys we were selling papers, and it was hot as hell outside. I was with Race, Jack, and Davey. We all had the same selling spot so we sold papers in our part of town. I was upset that I couldn’t get as many of my papers sold like everyone else, I was about average when it came to selling papers, I wasn’t as good at improving the truth like my cousin Jack, Davey said I didn’t need to lie to sell papers, just say the headlines and I’d get my papers sold. I was thinking about lying a few times, but Davey talked me out of it each time. But Jack, he’d never stop screwing with people’s heads, especially the rest of us.
