Ranking Disney Movies by Era
The Silver Age of Disney took place from 1950-1959 and consisted of 8 films, most of which are still pretty popular today. I would argue that this is the first era of Disney that stood the test of time. Even 64 years later the Silver Age of Disney remains the era that really solidified Disney as a household name. This is the era that led to the notary and consistency of Disney as a studio. Now I will say that because of the major increase in quality during this era it is rather difficult to rank them because there are no bad movies, only good and better ones.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
Wartime Continuing our ranking of Disney movies by era we will move into Wartime Disney. There seemed to be some deadtime between the Golden Age and the Silver Age where the only movies produced were ones that people now have largely forgotten about. Many people gloss over this era because it really didn’t produce anything of note. This era of movies are often not even in discussions surrounding Disney movies. But I will not skip an era so we are ranking the 6 movies of the wartime Disney era.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
We are going to rank Disney movies. However I really don't think you can actually compare something like Snow White to something like Frozen. The worlds they were made in are very very different and context is important to critique. So we are going to do this one era at a time.

Emmy Nominations
Okay so when I covered the Emmy nominations I said that the only show I had actually watched was The Last of Us, and as a media journalist I know that is not sufficient. So I have powered through some of the other nominated shows so that I can give a well rounded and honest view on my predictions. I will say right off the bat that I did center on the dramas as that is more my genre of interest. So here are my predictions and hopes for the Emmy awards this year.

White Lotus
The first season was a whole lot of nothing. Lots happened but there was no plot and I actually was not that impressed with most of the performances, though that could be due to the shows lack of story. But as season 2 was Emmy nominated, I have to finish the show so here we go with season 2.

White Lotus
One of the most decorated shows for Emmy nominations is White Lotus. As it is my mission to watch all of the Emmy nominated shows I decided to start here. I have heard some mixed reviews (I mean what else is the internet for?), but I already love the casting and I am intrigued by the idea. So I am going to power through both seasons of the show, so here we go with my first watch of White Lotus.

Why Hellscat is my favourite character in the whole comic books industry
In a vast and ever-expanding comics universe, there are a multitude of characters to admire and be inspired by.
