Recapping the MCU
One of the biggest obstacles the MCU faces right now is gaining and retaining audience members. The universe is so vast and interconnected that unless you’ve seen every single project it feels like you're missing something. And the unfortunate reality is that you probably are. But if you don’t care about the details, inside jokes, comic book references and every thread of interrelation then you really just need the broad strokes so here we go. Whether you are a tired, burnt out fan or a new audience member I’m hoping these short guides will help you catch up on all of the important information so you can enjoy the current state of the MCU.

Why Did Iron Man Handle The Infinity Stones Differently?
Like most avid fans of film and TV, it's hard not to get bogged down by relatively small details that may seem seem trivial to others, however sometimes moments which may seem meaningless, actually create a whole host of theories which serve to make a particular scene more interesting and add more context.

Kinds of Storytelling
So we are starting a new series based on identifying whether projects are character driven or plot driven and what that means. So let's start with character driven stories. Now I have not been shy about my opinion on which kind of storytelling is better, it's character driven stories. They feel more natural and organic and the story never has to be forced.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So this is one of my favorite shows. And the funniest thing about that is another one of my favorite shows is BoJack Horseman, and really these shows are very similar. They both are character driven stories and they maintain that through their entire run, as well as both centering around mental health. Which is really why they both hit rather close to home but that's why they’re good shows.

Why The Valley is one of the best tv show of ever
The Valley, a tv show created by the screenwriter Stefano Labbia, is one of the best show of the last decade, and there are many reasons for this. Perhaps the most significant reason is that it is a neo-western family drama, meaning that it combines the excitement and drama of a classic western with the complex relationships and emotional depth of a family drama. This unique blend of genres makes for a captivating and engaging show that keeps audiences coming back for more.

The Little Mermaid (2023) ... why?
The Little Mermaid (2023) is set for theatrical release on May 26th in the US. In the run-up to this new Disney remake, the studios released a teaser trailer back in September, and have now released the highly anticipated full-length trailer just a few days ago. As usual, people have their issues with it. Myself included. Based on the fact that I have not seen the full film I cannot comment on it as a whole, or the acting as such, but I do not need to see the whole film to know why I have an issue with it.
