Male v Female Gaze
Just like our other heroines in the MCU, Black Widow was the first to suffer from the male gaze. Her treatment was admittedly the worst, being the most sexualized and used specifically and solely for male enjoyment. Black Widow and her treatment is also easier to track due to her being the first female avenger and amount of appearances. From her start the writers and directors wanted audiences to see Natasha as nothing more than an object, and yet her loyal fans saw so much more.

Doctor Who: 100 Review
To mark the 100th Doctor Who release (barring specials) from Big Finish, we got "100": an appropriately titled collection featuring four stories for the Sixth Doctor, all linked by the theme of 100. While a pretty meta concept for an anthology release, this set of stories was backed up with a strong hook: the writers were four of the best ever to put their name to Doctor Who. And, while there are some niggles with some of the tales, this collection is another example of experimental and ground-breaking Doctor Who, the likes of which hasn't been seen for some time. Taking in temporal meddling in Ancient Rome, meeting legendary composer Mozart, a gruesome curse on a seemingly innocuous family and a trip up and down the Doctor's timeline, this collections runs the gamut of Doctor Who stories and really does offer something for everyone.

Andor Series Review (Season 1)
Of the many releases from Disney’s Star Wars catalogue, Rogue One obtained the highest recognition from fans. The 2016 film offered a more rugged and gritty take on the rebel alliance, opening the door for new creative directions. The latest small screen effort focuses on Cassian Andor, a key player in the hunt for the death star plans. It has problems here and there but offers up a capable adventure.

Villain Personality Test
Villains. The portrait of humanity's worst aspects. They represent our selfishness, our carelessness, and our deepest fears. They can be savages, dictators, or terrorists. Presidents, celebrities, or blue-collar workers. They can be outcasts or socialites, masterminds or brutes, zealots or narcissists, or maybe just someone who had a bad day. They come in so many shapes and sizes; is there a common thread between them?

**Hello, everyone! Hope your time has been well spent! Just want to preface that I've had this review locked and loaded in the chamber, but I was being lazy among other things. Therefore, some wording might come off a little awkward. Thank you for reading and enjoy!**

Smallville
With about a thousand adaptations of Superman in existence there is always plenty of talk around the fans of DC about which is the best. The reality of the situation is that there are many good adaptations but none as good, or as thorough as Smallville. The 2001 live action series set the bar high for all superhero media to come and yet none have lived up to the incredible nature of Smallville.

Dennis the Menace - A Movie Review
I’d be careful. Dennis is no ordinary kid. He is a menace! Dennis the Menace arrived in theaters in 1993. Based on the comic strip, George Wilson has been harassed by his next-door neighbor, a 5-year-old kid named Dennis Mitchell. When his parents need to go away, they have no other place to turn to, sending their son to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson for the weekend.

In Loving Memory Of Jason David Frank
On this day 20th, November a great actor and man died they haven't given the cause of death. Some are assuming suicide. Jason David Frank for his role as the Green Range, White Ranger, Black Ranger, and in the works on YouTube for the Legend of the White Dragon. His many roles will always be simply Tommy Oliver to me.

Separating Art from the Artist
Many artists across history are problematic, they have all done, said or live by ideals that are no longer acceptable in the eyes of society. Just to be clear, “cancel culture” isn’t a thing, it's called grown people finally being held accountable for their actions. Jk Rowling and Joss Whedon are two media giants who definitely deserve to be held accountable for their actions, but what does that mean for fans of their work?
