WandaVision director Matt Shakman recently described a cut sequence from the finale in which Kat Dennings’ Darcy, Monica Rambeau’s Monica, and Wanda’s sons would’ve planned to steal the Darkhold from Agatha Harkness’ basement. This would have led to Harkness’ rabbit Señor Scratchy transforming into a demon, leading to a Goonies-esque chase sequence. The director also previously confirmed the scene was filmed, however, the VFX was never finished. This has led many to wonder if this scene, along with any other cut footage, would see the light of day in future bonus material, much like has been seen with movie home releases....

Maple water is a clear liquid that flows from maple trees for a short time in early spring. Also known as sap, maple water goes through a natural process that infuses it with nutrients. In early spring, maple trees pull water from the ground and filter it through their roots. This water collects nutrients stored in the tree all winter, and provides hydration and nourishment that enables the tree’s growth and rejuvenation in the spring renewal season....

In the context of electricity generation, wind power is the use of air movement to rotate turbine elements in order to create an electrical current. Is Wind Power the Answer? When Bob Dylan first sang “Blowin’ in the Wind” in the early 1960s, he probably wasn’t talking about wind power as the answer to the world’s ever-increasing need for electricity and sources of clean, renewable energy. But that is what wind has come to represent for millions of people, who see wind power as a better way to generate electricity than plants fueled by coal, hydro (water) or nuclear power....

Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984 has been released in theaters and HBO Max, albeit with a mixed reaction from critics and fans. However, that didn’t stop Warner Bros. from already moving forward with a sequel with Jenkins returning as director and writer. The next big DC movie from Warner Bros. is actually Zack Snyder’s Justice League, releasing on HBO Max in March. Snyder has said that the advertising campaign for his cut of Justice League would start soon after the release of Wonder Woman 1984 and “very early in the New Year....

The refrigerator is a magical box; a modern convenience that allows us to keep food fresh much longer than we would be able to otherwise. But it is also a master of deceit that can easily swallow up the abundance of foods we feed it, turning them into alien life forms and things that look like they belong on the forest floor. This is especially true in the era of the ginormous fridge (and one of the reasons we advocate for smaller refrigerators around here)....

While many people who keep fish as pets are content with a simple fish bowl with pebbles, some seaweed and an obligatory treasure chest, there are others who take home aquariums to an entirely new level. Indeed, the art of decorating these underwater habitats is quite serious; consider the aquascaping competitions in which meticulously cultivated fish tanks vie for top honors And since the fish couldn’t care less whether they share their homes with plastic Spongebob figurines or fancy marine plants, the options for designing these habitats are limitless....

Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, may be the world’s largest sculpture garden — a place where Mother Nature has used wind and water to carve more than 2,000 arches ranging in size from a three-foot opening to Landscape Arch, which measures 306 feet from base to base. And arches aren’t the only works on display. There are spires and balanced rocks, fins and eroded monoliths, and slabs of slickrock peppered with potholes....

In a word, yes. We don’t have to buy what they’re selling. At Ryerson University where I teach, I am starting an experiment where we try to live a 1.5 degree lifestyle, and limit our individual carbon footprints to 2.5 tonnes per year, which is what the IPCC suggests we all have to do by 2030 if we are going to stay below 1.5 degrees of warming. I have previously tried to address the question of whether these kinds of individual actions make a difference, quoting skeptic Martin Lukacs in the Guardian, who wrote that our concern about our personal habits and consumption are “the result of an ideological war, waged over the last 40 years, against the possibility of collective action....

James Gunn is certainly a hot commodity in the industry right now. The famous director’s newest film The Suicide Squad debuted to fantastic reviews and fan response. He even has a new show for HBO Max on the horizon, Peacemaker, which continues to build John Cena’s DCU story. What really made Gunn big, however, was his work for Marvel Studios. Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the most beloved MCU films to date, and it made the Guardians one of the most famous groups of comic book characters in existence....

With Spider-Man: No Way Home hitting theaters soon, it’s easy to forget Marvel Studios’ previous project: Eternals. The film saw the introducion of an incredibly diverse cast of superheroes to the MCU world, including Angelina Jolie’s Thena, Lauren Ridloff’s Makkari, and Brian Tyree Henry’s Phastos. The movie was one of the most epic that Marvel has released to date; sadly, it also hit some new lows. The film became the first MCU project to be scored as Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes, something that not all fans agreed with....

While the world takes the time to celebrate Father’s Day 2022, franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe have the chance to join in the festivities as well. Marvel boasts a vast number of characters that take on the responsibilities of fatherhood, although not all of them necessarily go about it the right way - take Thanos and his history in the MCU, for instance. Thankfully, Thanos is more than evened out by a massive group of dads who have shown what it takes to raise a family throughout the past 14 years of MCU history....

2021 was a big year for Captain America and the legacy of his shield. With Steve Rogers gone, the mantle he held became mishandled. Sam Wilson originally felt that it wasn’t his place to take it up, so the iconography and responsibilities of the title instead went to former military-man John Walker; needless to say, it didn’t go well. At the end of the day, Wilson made his amends and became the new Cap of the MCU....

Not long after Mr. Fantastic’s debut, rumors started to swirl about who might be playing the rest of the iconic group. One of the main names that came up was Bryce Dallas Howard, a star of the Jurassic World films and director of multiple episodes of The Mandalorian. The rumor in question was from 4chan, so it’s nowhere near trustworthy. Still, those whispers continued to pick up steam. At a fan event, the star was asked to sign a Funko Pop!...
