Where in the World is (the Respect for) Carmen Sandiego?
Television, film, and even video game history is full of some legendary baddies. Those of you who have read my stories know that I focus on the females of the bunch, but even so, I've noticed that when it comes to villainesses, the ones that get the most mention are the Wicked Queen, the Wicked Witch of the West, Cruella de Vil, Rita Repulsa, and Catwoman, just to name a few. Now those are iconic villainesses, but there's more than that group. One such villainess came to mind just barely before I had the idea to write this: Carmen Sandiego.

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.
