Throughout Phase 4 of the MCU and beyond, Marvel Studios is eagerly looking into expanding the cosmic side of its story, especially after closing out the Infinity Saga with the Avengers vs. the Mad Titan Thanos. Already confirmed to continue this trend are films like Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, although rumors are pointing to new entries filling the ranks as well. Unfortunately, MCU fans are facing a new round of delays for this next round of theatrical entries; the pushback now creates a six-month gap between the releases of Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness....

Spider-Man: Far From Home introduced a new AI created by Tony Stark, which Stark gifted to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. This technology was named EDITH, an artificial intelligence security and defense system with an acronym that stood for “Even Dead, I’m The Hero.” The AI glasses served as an integral part of the sequel’s narrative, essentially proving to be an advantage and disadvantage over the course of the movie. Initially, Holland’s Peter was the only one who could access the complex AI, thus giving him access to tactical drones from Stark Industries’ satellite....

There’s one thing many Star Wars fans would likely agree with: Rise of Skywalker wasn’t quite the big finale that it should have been. However, it’s the eighth episode of the saga, directed by Rian Johnson, that was the most divisive amongst fans.The Last Jedi is regarded by some as one of the best entries of the whole franchise. Yet, others feel it’s the exact opposite—aka, one of the worst. Many didn’t like how it felt it was tearing down everything set up from The Force Awakens....

Sony and Marvel’s promotional campaign Spider-Man: No Way Home shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Set to release on December 17, 2021, Tom Holland’s third Spider-Man film isn’t just the conclusion of a trilogy, but also a Multiversal epic featuring Doctor Strange and former Spidey villains like Electro, Doc Ock, and the Green Goblin. Following the release of No Way Home’s second trailer, fans received a flood of marketing for the highly-anticipated threequel, which ranged from multiple teasers and TV spots to interviews with Tom Holland and Zendaya and even new posters and artwork....

While it is still over a year away, details surrounding The Flash movie are slowly surfacing. Early iterations of the film redefined the term ‘development hell,’ but Ezra Miller’s solo flick finally picked up steam when it landed It director Andy Muschietti. The traditional horror filmmaker entered the project in November 2019 and emphasized his plans to adopt key elements of the Flashpoint comic storyline. The film had a couple of release date delays in the time since Muschietti joined, but the momentum never wavered....

While The Flash was once set to hit theaters this year, it was sadly moved to next summer. The delay was shocking, especially given all the teases audiences have already gotten regarding the film. Add on all the potential plot leaks from the past couple of years, and some fans feel like they already know every beat of the story. Despite having a successful television series running for nearly a decade, Barry Allen has had the hardest time trying to get a solo movie off the ground....

While Warner Bros. Discovery continues retooling its superhero movie slate with the extended DC Universe, one name that remains at the forefront of fans’ minds is Superman. Much of this stems from Henry Cavill’s lengthy absence from the big screen as the Man of Steel, although rumors have hinted that Superman might be in for a resurgence in more than one form.A recent report revealed that WBD has plans for a movie that’s described as “essentially…Man of Steel 2,” finally bringing Cavill back as the iconic DC hero more than half a decade after his last canon DCEU appearance in Justice League....

Anger over the “Monsanto Protection Act” is growing like an herbicide-resistant weed, fueled by news the rider was anonymously added to a U.S. budget bill in an apparent favor to biotech firms. The measure has made unlikely allies of Tea Party and environmental groups, inspired more than 250,000 people to sign a petition opposing it, and even prompted the head of the Senate Appropriations Committee to retroactively disavow it. But what exactly is the Monsanto Protection Act?...

Spider-Man: No Way Home finally allowed the MCU to utilize the Multiverse to bring together multiple generations of fan-favorite elements from the wall-crawler’s cinematic history. Despite how satisfying it was for viewers, this created one big problem for the MCU’s web-slinger as Tom Holland’s hero had to face off against villains from five different Spider-Man movies throughout No Way Home. Even with villains from across two decades of film, the story throughout the threequel still felt MCU-centric thanks to the incorporation of Doctor Strange and his magic, as well as continued talk about The Blip and Captain America’s shield being added to the Statue of Liberty....

As the winter wears on, the apples I buy at my local grocery store get further and further away from the date they were picked. When apples sit around in cold storage for a while, they start to break down and go from crisp to soft, a characteristic otherwise known as mealy. Biting into a mealy apple is so disappointing. You don’t have to get rid of soft apples, though. There are plenty of delicious ways to use them up....

This small to medium-sized tree is short-lived, seldom reaching the age of 75. Butternut is more valued for its nuts than for lumber. The soft coarse-grained woodworks, stains, and finishes well. Small amounts are used for cabinetwork, furniture, and novelties. The sweet nuts are prized as food by man and animals....

With the Bush administration out of office, the big logjam has burst and both Congress and the White House are pushing forward vigorously to enact programs that were stonewalled or blocked. One of President Obama’s first directives to the EPA was to reconsider the Bush-era refusal to grant California its long-sought waiver to regulate greenhouse gasses from vehicles. The hearings are underway. Don’t worry, I’m not going to get technical on you here....
