The Perfect Stan Lee Cameo!
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) based movies are one of the largest science fiction franchises of all time. Marvel refers to Marvel Comics, a hugely influential comic book company and originator of some of the most iconic superhero characters of all time. Marvel Studios is the production company which grew from the original comic book business. Their movies have made billions and it is in large measure due to one man, Stan Lee. Back in the 1960s Stan ‘The Man’ Lee essentially created the Marvel universe as we know it today. Ever since The Trial of The Incredible Hulk, a 1989 television movie, Stan Lee has been making cameos in the Marvel movies. For my final project, I will be discussing Stan Lee's cameos throughout Marvel Movies and television. Finishing it off by writing my idea for the perfect cameo.

'The Seven Deadly Sins' End
Disbelief. Shock. Those were the first reactions to the news of The Seven Deadly Sins manga ending soon. It has been one of the most loved and awaited animes of 2018, yet the manga will be ending in roughly a year. The creator of the manga, Nakaba Suzuki, recently expressed his desire to end the manga at 40 volumes in about a year's time. This means the manga does not have much to go and is bound to have an ending worthy of a shonen as described by Suzuki.

Spoilers for Fear the Walking Dead. Fear the Walking Dead returned Sunday night. The Walking Dead offshoot is punching above its weight. At first glance, it looked like nothing more than AMC trying to wring more dollars out of their juggernaut series.

Arrogance and the Destruction of Self
So this year has been crazy, am I right? Aside from all of the heavy political stuff that I absolutely refuse to get into, life itself has just been a whirlwind of crazy. I love Youtube. The platform has already changed the way people view the world and has given a voice that we never knew we had. So now we can talk about how people have used such an innovative discovery to hurt people because of their arrogance and in turn, destroyed their image.

Marvel Legends – Top 5 Most Anticipated Upcoming Figures in 2018
Marvel characters have always played a major role in entertaining us, from TV to action figures. The constant recycling of heroes and villains has, however, led to the tiresome monotony that we are just not down for.

Home Watching - 'Ink'
Ink is an independent film that was released in 2009. The story involves fatherhood, dreamworlds, Incubi, dream warriors, and the battle for a person's very soul—ambitious themes, and an equally ambitious scale of a story to tackle in a film when considering that the budget of the film is $250,000. Yet it manages to come together in a heartfelt story about a father coming to terms with what is important in his life and his love for his daughter.

The Blinder
Everything written here is pure fiction. Well, I have been having an issue with these so-called "Incredibles." I get that is their last name—all I want is a little originality from them. It's their last name, did you know that? Yeah, way to be original. So, it started when The Underminer came and found me. Yes, that's why he was not there in the last bit of the movie. Anyway, all he wanted was to take the city underground, which I was not at all interested in. I just wanted for things to go back to the way things were. You know? When superheroes had to live quietly, it was better for everyone. The Underminer found me. I was in hiding because I tried being a hero, but no one wanted me because all I did was blind villains. Super lame, right? right. I would just appear and blind them and then they would do the heroic stuff and get all the credit. Then, when supers were illegal, it was the best thing ever. I could go into my hut in the forest and live there in peace without being bothered.

Why Everyone Thinks That Season 8 of Netflix's 'Voltron' Was Queerbaiting
For those who don't know the term queerbaiting: Queerbaiting is the practice to hint at, but then to not actually depict, a same-sex romantic relationship between characters in a work of fiction, mainly in film or television. The potential romance may be ignored, explicitly rejected or made fun of.The derogatory term "queerbaiting" is meant to imply that this is done for the purpose of attracting ("baiting") a queer audience with the ultimately unrealized suggestion of relationships that appeal to them. The concept arose in and has been popularized through Internet discussions among the fandom of popular films and television series.

'Crazy Rich Asians' Provides a Timeless Spectacular Event
It's hard to bring a book to life through film in a perfect way—almost as hard as making a new, fun and original film for the screen. Yet, Crazy Rich Asians has done both. The film, based on the 2013 bestseller by Kevin Kwan, is not only enjoyable and a delight to watch, but it is also breaking new ground in Hollywood. Asians is the first Hollywood film in 25 years to feature a majorly Asian cast. Beyond that, the film introduces a culture that is barely known in the west. And it does all that while providing a love story for the ages.

So, what does Coach Mousie do in her off-season when she is not covering hockey (other than going a tad stir crazy missing her Jets and her Bisons)?
