Why Villains are Heroes' Yang to their Ying
The dynamic interplay between heroes and villains, each serving as the polar opposite of the other, is a narrative archetype deeply rooted in storytelling across cultures and epochs. This dichotomy is fundamental to the structure and depth of narratives, providing a rich landscape for the exploration of moral, philosophical, and psychological themes. Heroes and villains are not merely characters within a story; they represent archetypal forces in a perpetual struggle, embodying opposing facets of the human experience.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment. Top Story - December 2023.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

The Downfall of the MCU
There has been lots of comments since the MCU released Endgame about Marvel no longer producing anything of quality. Phrases like “superhero fatigue” “go woke, go broke” and “quantity over quality” get thrown around a lot and they are all wrong. Those phrases have actually no actual validity to them whatsoever. The MCU is the same as it's always been, very little has changed.

Superman and Batman: Public Enemies (Graphic Novel)
Superman and Batman: Public Enemies is a graphic novel adaptation of an animated film. I haven't seen the film yet, but I picked up the book at Goodwill, and it was in surprisingly good condition. The artwork was dark and swirly, sometimes hard for the eye to take in, or discern exactly what was going on, panel for panel (and the artwork often broke free here and splashed across the page). No one in the comics industry seemingly thought about the plight of the nearsighted when creating their books; at least not in this era, and they really should have. All of their fans are bespectacled, pre-diabetic Simpsons characters who opine that this, that, and the third is the "Worst [fill in the blank] ever!"
