Remembering Alain Delon
I'm trying to get over his death by re-watching Delon's greatest movies. I knew that he was sick and he himself was sure that he didn't have much time left in this life, but the news of his death still shocked me. It's like even when you know that people don't live forever, you hope that some will. I thought Delon would be forever.

Deadpool & Wolverine Breaks An 8-Year Marvel Movie Trend. AI-Generated.
A cause exists in the universe for why Deadpool & Wolverine deviates from the other entries in the franchise. Deadpool 3's brutal honesty against the MCU was one of its more unexpected features. It even made fun of how disorganized Marvel's Multiverse Saga had been and implied that Wolverine was coming at a bad time. Wade Wilson's brand of humor is known for its meta-commentary, so it should come as no surprise that Deadpool & Wolverine was full of them, but it was nice to see Marvel not be scared to poke fun at itself.

The Dark World of Madoka Magica
This piece will contain mild spoilers for the 2011 animated Japanese show Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The year was 2021, and COVID-19 was running our everyday lives. (I’m currently writing this with COVID-19 this very second in our good year 2024–how ironic is that?)

I know how he may join the MCU, but I can't believe we missed out on the best Deadpool and Wolverine variant.. AI-Generated.
Although the finest version of Deadpool & Wolverine was ultimately deleted from the film, I still believe there is a fantastic opportunity to include him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The cameos of Deadpool and Wolverine as well as other unexpected characters were unveiled following several months of conjecture. A pleasant counterpoint was provided by the Resistance in the Void, which gave a longer time with multiverse characters like Dafne Keen's X-23 and Wesley Snipes's return of Blade. Other cameos included Chris Evans' Johnny Storm and Henry Cavill's Wolverine, all of whom I was excited to see.
