After 38 seasons, MTV's The Challenge has seen its fair share of controversial moments and drama. It's impossible to throw 20 or more people into a house with a grand prize of thousands of dollars and not have controversy. However, not all of the drama had respectful sportsmanship at the end of it.

Dragon's Treasure
Prologue Narcissus dug further under a mountain of glittering gold, a mist of steam gently rising through a mound of shimmering treasure. With a puff of expelled air Narcissus opened a bulbous-lidded eye and stared at the soft glow of sunlight from her cave’s entrance.

A Robot's Lost City. Top Story - November 2022.
I have always been incredibly fascinated with the fact that Studio Ghibli films have a specific sense of nostalgia. I want to believe this is a sentiment for everyone who enjoys Ghibli films because, for me, they represent both a gleeful childhood and a vessel that allows us to find magical and meaningful moments as we grow older.

Anticipating Black Panther
Marvel has gifted fans with tons of content this year but one of the most anticipated projects of this year is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I am fully prepared for this movie to absolutely destroy me emotionally as the trailer has made me cry on three separate occasions. The film certainly looks like it's going to be a collective grieving experience for both the filmmakers and the audience. But I wanted to use this article to point out the canonical things from the comics that they could incorporate into the future of this character. The choice not to recast Chadwick was a good decision, and leaves room for the women to take the forefront.

Hollywood and the Stories That Will Never Die
As a screenwriter something I think about often is; what is a story that I want to tell that I will also be able to sell? There are quite a few stories that Hollywood never seems to get tired of, ones that always seem to sell. Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Peter Pan, and The Wizard of Oz. Now what about these stories makes them so special and why do filmmakers keep coming back to them?

Nostalgia and Hollywood
The general public has wondered for quite a few years now, has Hollywood run out of original ideas? With what seems like nothing but adaptations, sequels, and reboots being produced the hearts of young writers are breaking everywhere, and fans of film are simply bored and exhausted. Reboots, and sequels have killed creativity in Hollywood because quite frankly if you only do adaptations then you aren’t an artist. What audiences crave is original thoughts, not regurgitations of old themes and stories.

Armageddon Time
The other film that filled the void of wonderfully thought out films was Armageddon Time. Something about these end of year films is really heartbreaking. It seems the mission of filmmakers is to see how hard they can make me cry and I love it. Film and television has always made me feel things very deeply, that's why it's the industry I want to work in. Armageddon Time is heartfelt, wonderful, painful and raw.
