5 Reasons Tom Holland is Already a Young Nathan Drake In Disguise
Thanks to his life-altering role as Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 21-year-old Tom Holland has become something of a household name among comic book nerds, little kids, Marvel and MCU fanatics, and Spider-Man fans worldwide. Now, due in no small part to the general success of his recent solo debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming, it seems he has also risen to become one of Hollywood’s most bankable young twenty-something actors. So bankable in fact, that Sony just recently cast him to play a young Nathan Drake in the upcoming film adaptation of Naughty Dog’s hugely popular Uncharted video game series.

What is Coming to the MCU Phase 4
This is an update to a former theory, and it's coming into clearer view with some of the most recent events of the MCU. With the Infinity War storyline in full swing and Captain America: Civil War coming within the year to a theater near you, my mind has been twirling with the different directions that Marvel could take as these current stories wrap up. As much as I'd love to see the Dark Avengers make their way to the silver screen, I still think that is a ways off (let's wait and see how the third iteration of Spider-man goes, than we can talk); however, The Masters of Evil have been a ragtag team of villains pestering the Avengers for as long as Earth's Mightiest Heroes have been around and with all of the villains present (and kicking, I would add) in the MCU, it would make sense that something would bring the Avengers back together after their Civil War or once Thanos can't take them down, villains may indeed come together--making a team of their own.

Take A Look At This Spot On Cindy Cosplay From 'Final Fantasy XV'
Final Fantasy XV isn't even out yet and people are already showing off great cosplays left and right. Case in point is Byndo Gehk's fantastic rendition of Cindy Aurum, mechanic extraordinaire. She acts as the mechanic for the party in the game andit looks like she'll have a lot of great skills to bear since she's the granddaughter of another genius mechanic, Cid. Not the same Cid from every game, there's a bunch of different Cids as you know, but being named Cid in any Final Fantasy game is synonymous with "awesome mechanic." Anyway, you're not here for lore so here's a couple more shots of Byndo's cosplay.

Who Will Be Captain Marvel?
With Phase 2 wrapping up this summer, many are looking forward to the MCU's Phase 3 additions with Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in the mix. While we know bits and pieces about Captain America: Civil War (May 2016), and the casting of Spider-man is all the rage right now (due out July 2017), I'm still extremely curious as to who will play the lead in Marvel's first solo female movie, Captain Marvel?

Unlocking the Iron Fist: The Real-World Science Behind a Powerful Punch
“I am the Iron Fist. I hold back the storm when nothing else can.”– Danny Rand The world’s strongest punch requires the least muscle pullback, movement, or physical strain — instead of simply tossing a jab by flinging your fist forward, a powerful punch involves throwing your entire body against your target, relying on the full force of it to break boards with ease, or send opponents flying.

Heathers: Film and Musical
I have an unfortunate habit of discovering popular culture too late, especially when it comes to musicals. I discovered Rent and Spring Awakening in 2007, when both musicals were set to close, Bonnie and Clyde in 2014, two years after that musical met its demise, and Pierre, Natasha, and the Great Comet of 1812 last summer when it was on its way out. 2014 was also when I fell down the dark, scary rabbit hole that is Tumblr. Some of the people I followed were talking about a musical version of the 1989 cult hit Heathers that was playing off-Broadway. Heathers is a sort of edgier proto Mean Girls, an immensely quotable look at teenage girl drama. A black comedy which satirizes high school popularity culture and how people sensationalize and glamorize youth related tragedies such as teen suicide and school shootings.
