I would like to celebrate these characters by highlighting what they mean to the MCU and its fans.

The announcement of Matt LeBlanc joining the ranks of Top Gear is a headline you would never expect to see - clearly not, as bookmakers William Hill revealed with odds at 500/1, not a single person bet on him being the new host. It didn't quite break the internet, but it did send Twitter into a bit of a melt down; a seemingly strange turn of events like the resurrection of his character Dr. Drake Ramoray on Days of Our Lives.

The Hidden Gems of Netflix
It seems crazy that in its short few years since finding its place online in the wake of Blockbusters becoming a dinosaur and eventually closing and companies like Lovefilm losing ground in its attempt at revolutionizing the entertainment-at-your-fingertips industry, Netflix has become a household name – and more – a meme. However – it doesn’t take a genius or an archaeologist to dig very far to find some absolute gold on the site.

Supergirl Doesn't Need Superman to Succeed — Here's Why!
With the launch of Supergirl, DC's TV universe continues to grow (though it's still up in the air if it will cross over with Arrow and The Flash). From what I have seen so far, I've been really quite impressed with it. The action has been good and the special effects are decent for a television show.
