Comic Book Rewind
Welcome back to comic book rewind, where I watch older comic book movies and see how they hold up. Now I’ve got to round out the original X-Men trilogy so here we go with The Last Stand. This used to be my favorite X-Men movie as a kid, let's see how adult Alex handles this.

The Lean-in Feminism of 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law'
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was meant to be a meta-textual, feminist deconstruction of the MCU, and in some ways, it succeeds with this goal. Whether it's referencing Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist or jokes about women in the workplace, there are plenty of progressive nuggets for viewers to mine.

TOP MANHWA & WEBTOONS of 2022...
You clicked because you were running out of webtoons to binge, didn't you? Or you might've just had a curiosity as to what Manhwa is, either way The Korner has your fix. For those of you that didn't know manhwa is the name given to any form of South Korean animated webcomic such as 'Solo Levelling'. They have genres which follow specific character archetypes on a multitude of twisting addictive storylines.

The Boys - Commentary and Analysis
The season opens with some really weird gratuitous nudity, sex and violence. The show is getting bolder as it keeps getting renewed, each season gets a little more gore and sex oriented which I hear is super close to the comics.

The Boys - Commentary and Analysis
After too long a wait, I finally watched season 2 of the Boys and I have so many thoughts, all of which are framed around the women of the show because I genuinely do not care about any of these men (except of course for Frenchie). So here we go;

Sex with Superheroes
I was put on the spot with this one. Imagine it for a moment: you are a student, attempting to impress an editor with an idea for an article you think will truly knock it out of the park, and you come up with the idea of playing out a fantasy involving fictional characters with plenty of 'what-ifs'. And yes, I did come up with a list that I felt was the best representation of what we all suspect and choose not to explore. And that editor was not impressed...but I was. And I still am. And I hope you can be once I state my case for each figure and try to judge them by some pretty fair criteria.

Why Your Favorite Franchises are getting "ruined"
We all know the situation. It's been happening to all your favorite stuff. Your favorite book series, movie franchise or video game sequel. Whatever it is, if you've been around long enough, your favorite thing has been "ruined" or you've seen people complaining about it. Either way, there's a very simple reason for it. It makes money by guaranteeing that you have a lot of eyes on whatever product you are trying to push out.

Velma Dinkey is official confirmed as a lesbian
Velma Dinkey has been confirmed as gay Ken Spears and Joe Ruby were the masterminds behind Scooby-Doo Where Are You and the iconic characters Freddie Jones, Daphne Blake, Shaggy Rogers and Velma Dinkey. When the cartoon aired in 1969 life was shall we say more innocent. There was no such thing as an LBGTQ community and those who were gay males or lesbians kept their business private.

Planet Tetro ~ Page 15
I finished wringing the clothes off and started to get tired myself. I'm sure it was mostly from dealing with our little friends. I still felt sore all over. They pierced my skin plenty of times. We're lucky their weapons weren't poisoned, or we'd be goners. We could not have dodged all those attacks in the dark. Knowing I was tired, I scanned for intruders before deciding who to wake up next.

Planet Tetro ~ Page 14
Splash! We fell off a cliff into a river. It was narrow and in between the forest. That must be why we didn’t notice it before. We probably were tricked. It seems like they expected us to fall to our deaths. Luckily neither of us smashed into any rocks. The water was too deep to walk in, and If anything, that saved our lives. Or maybe just mines. These brutes probably lost a leg or arm falling about 50 feet. The river stream had a gentle current going down. After locking our eyes and regaining our composure, we decided to go with the draft.
