The End of the Netflix/Marvel Partnership?
With the Marvel by Netflix era seemingly coming to an end with the plug having been pulled on season three of Luke Cage, hot on the heels of the cancellation of Iron Fist. Disney have also finally announced their own streaming service making it feel like a curtain call for the Netflix Marvel collaboration. Daredevil launched its third season this past Friday and appears to be bringing to an end to its show long arc of Murdoch versus Fisk, marking potentially another nail in the coffin. But what new Marvel shows could we expect from the new Disney Play service? Or to put it more aptly what would I like to see fill those vacant slots.

Amid reports in August, The Oscars announced a new category of ‘Best Popular Film’ to its line-up of honors for the 91st Academy Awards. The response to the announcement was a loud uproar of negativity suggesting that the new category is pandering to mainstream demands and tarnishing the purpose of the ‘Best Picture’ Category itself. Earlier this month the Academy postponed the initiation of the ‘Popular Film’ category into the Oscar ceremony, and the future of this award remains indefinite.

Top 5 Second Films in a Speculative Fiction Trilogy
Since The Empire Strikes Back released in theaters, second films in movie trilogies have been some of the most remembered pieces of cinema or the worst. But how come? How can we definitively say the original Star Wars wouldn't have ended with two films instead of three? It didn't happen, but why is the second film more critically successful than the finale, arguably the most popular part of any story? Why are so many second films hailed to be the best of the series, especially when the middle is considered the slowest component and often a victim of lousy sequel syndrome? Looking at you Amazing Spider-Man 2.
