'House Of The Dragon': 8 Most Tragic Moments Of Season One
Game of Thrones prequel series House of The Dragon has recently completed it's first season, and boy, was it a doozy to watch. While Game of Thrones had a few tragic moments in it's opening season, most of the true tragedies were saved for later in the series. House of The Dragon, however, begins with a tragic event, and plenty more follow over the course of the show's first season, eventually leading to the events that begin the bloody Targaryen Civil War known as the Dance of Dragons.

Anticipating Black Panther
Marvel has gifted fans with tons of content this year but one of the most anticipated projects of this year is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I am fully prepared for this movie to absolutely destroy me emotionally as the trailer has made me cry on three separate occasions. The film certainly looks like it's going to be a collective grieving experience for both the filmmakers and the audience. But I wanted to use this article to point out the canonical things from the comics that they could incorporate into the future of this character. The choice not to recast Chadwick was a good decision, and leaves room for the women to take the forefront.

There are quite a few stories that Hollywood never seems to get tired of, ones that always seem to sell. Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Peter Pan, and The Wizard of Oz. Now what about these stories makes them so special and why do filmmakers keep coming back to them?

Male vs Female Gaze
One of my favorite things to talk about when discussing women’s portrayal in superhero movies is the male vs the female gaze. These are terms used to describe and identify the lens with which a director shows audiences female characters. There are certain descriptors for each gaze but some are more subtle and difficult to identify. Women have an easier time seeing these differences because it directly affects us and the way these differences make us feel are quite obvious.

Feminism & Groomers: 'The House of The Dragon' Was Always About How Men Use Women
HBO's Game of Thrones spinoff, The House of the Dragon (sometimes referred to online as House of Dragons), knew what it wanted to talk about in the very first episode. After it's revealed that between two contenders to the throne — the cowardly Viserys I Targaryen and the wiser Rhaenys Targaryen — Viserys is given the Iron Throne because he is a man, we know that patriarchy is going to be a throughline in this story.

Pop Culture's Reckoning with "Wage Slavery"
A lot of people hate work. "Work is not my highest priority and never will be," rants a user on r/Jobs. "I don't hate my job; I actually enjoy it. However, I'm just sick of this western(?) idea that your work is your identifier and needs to be your 'highest priority.'" This is a common perspective (see also my article You Are Not Crazy for Hating the Idea of Work).

Relationships in House of the Dragon
As we know my favorite part of media is watching character driven stories, and the biggest part of what makes character driven stories interesting is their relationships.
