Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness just arrived in theaters and despite earning an impressive opening at the box office, reactions are proving to be mixed, to say the least. From the disappointment of absent cameos to the lack of enjoyment of Sam Raimi’s horror style, this may be among the most divisive entries into the Marvel universe. There have been plenty of highs and lows in Phase 4; Eternals suffered the worst audience reaction in MCU history and Spider-Man: No Way Home placed among the best just one month later....

Marvel Studios just started the run of their very first animated series. The show in question is none other than What If..?, where each half-hour episode explores what would have happened if events in various MCU films had gone differently. The opening installment focused on Peggy Carter, who, in that universe, ended up getting the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers. The episode explores how the events of Captain America: The First Avenger would have played out if this were the case, and the resulting story gave birth to a new superhero in Captain Carter....

With WandaVision set to release very soon, it is very much apparent that a good portion of the MCU’s future lies in streaming. Disney+ opens up a new field of possibilities for the company’s properties, allowing for new storytelling opportunities and avenues. WandaVision is already set to be a unique and groundbreaking entry in the MCU, according to early reactions, so fans should expect to see Marvel Studios taking some chances with their streaming line up....

From Aristotle and da Vinci to van der Rohe, thinkers and creatives have been praising minimalism for millennia. Decluttering, simplifying, becoming minimalist – whatever you want to call it, it’s all the rage. And for many a great reason, from reducing our consumption and carbon footprint to increasing our mobility and peace of mind. But while given the wealth of attention it’s been getting one might think it was a brand new concept, we’ve been drawn to the virtues of not drowning in stuff for ages....

Charlie Cox’s Daredevil made quite the entrance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, although he got to take things to a new level of excitement in Episode 8 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. And while he’s all set to make a bigger impact in 2024’s Daredevil: Born Again with a record-long 18-episode first season, fans were expecting his moment in She-Hulk to be limited to only one week.Warning - the rest of this article contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law....

Warner Bros. Discovery is mere days away from bringing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Black Adam to theaters across the world, finally allowing the superstar to enter the world of superhero movies for the first time. But after the movie’s first viewings for the critics, plenty of negative feedback has already flooded the internet as the DC Extended Universe looks to get back on track.While the reactions to Black Adam thus far haven’t been disappointing across the board, there have been plenty of social media reviews that haven’t painted the Rock’s solo outing in the best light....

Earlier this year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe took its first proper dive into the world of comedy with WandaVision’s era-hopping sitcom story with universal consequences. Following the success of Marvel’s premiere Disney+ venture, She-Hulk will continue to explore the genre in ten half-hour episodes of a legal comedy starring Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany. Recently, the series has reportedly cast its villain in The Good Place star Jameela Jamil, who will supposedly play the character’s nemesis Titania....

Star Wars continues to move forward at an impressive rate with new Disney+ shows, most recently with The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi hitting the service within the past year. This comes after Lucasfilm completed the Skywalker Saga behind actors like John Boyega, who has seemingly left his role in the rearview mirror for the time being.Boyega has spoken often about his time playing FN-2187/Finn in the sequel trilogy, shining a light on the positives of being part of the Star Wars universe as well as some of the negatives....

Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, multiple Star Wars projects have been set during the rise of the Galactic Empire. The Star Wars Rebels animated series and Obi-Wan Kenobi showcased the larger threats around the galaxy during this time period, but Disney+’s latest series, Andor, has started out telling a more contained story about how one person is enough to make a difference in the galaxy far, far away.One aspect of Andor that some early viewers criticized was that it didn’t feel connected to any other Star Wars projects besides Rogue One....

The success of the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League has led many to believe that David Ayer’s cut of 2016’s Suicide Squad will be next. Similar to Snyder, Ayer has been vocal about his support for the grassroots campaign to release his version of the movie, with the director showing his passion for the project via social media. Since then, the director has been sharing little hints that tease the cut’s existence....

While one school has banned juice boxes in an effort to promote litter-less lunch, anyone who has attended a kids’ birthday party knows that juice boxes are still insanely popular among kids and parents alike. While they may be convenient, they pose a challenge in terms of sustainability—and not just because they are hard to recycle. Those little, pointy straws that are designed to pierce the foil seal? They’re also apt to get lost in streams and rivers—and can wreak havoc with the mouths of any animals that try to digest them....

Corn on the cob is one of life’s biggest treats, but there’s rarely a surprise when you peel the husk. That’s not the case with Glass Gem corn. Peeling the husk from this variety of corn is like unwrapping artwork each time. What is Glass Gem corn? It’s an old variety of corn with kernels that come in an absolutely stunning array of colors. It’s also a reminder that there are varieties of fruits and vegetables that we’re in danger of losing....

Following a stellar four-episode run for HBO’s The Last of Us, the network revealed what to expect in the remaining five installments, which includes a surprising runtime for its finale. The Last of Us’ first four episodes have had a variety of lengths. The show’s pilot sported an unexpectedly lengthy runtime, clocking in at 1 hour and 17 minutes. Meanwhile, Episode 2 was 50 minutes, Episode 3 clocked in at 1 hour and 12 minutes, and Episode 4 had a runtime of 43 minutes....

SWORD made its MCU debut in WandaVision as the world’s newest global protection agency, serving a similar purpose to SHIELD of protecting the planet from the most bizarre of threats. While the reality-bending sitcom series focussed on the ground operations of the organization, future projects will take SWORD to the stars, such as Secret Invasion as Nick Fury interacts with the Skrulls. With SHIELD seemingly out of the picture, for now, fans will have to settle for SWORD as their government-sanctioned organization, that will likely interact with the Avengers on a fairly regular basis....

WandaVision might’ve already finished its run on the small screen side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the show is still one of the main topics of discussion among MCU fans in the past months. Created by Jac Schaeffer, the Marvel series was pushed to the forefront due to its unique sitcom approach that transitioned Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany’s Vision into entirely different characters. Instead of saving the world from otherworldly threats, the pair transitioned into a married couple, living a pretty normal suburban life in Westview, New Jersey....

One minute it’s sunny — albeit frigid — outside and the next you can’t even see two feet in front of you due to strong winds blowing snow every which way. And then, just as quickly as it arrived, the snow and wind are gone and there doesn’t even seem to be any snow left behind. Congratulations. You just experienced a snow squall! Thar she squalls The brevity and suddenness of snow squalls are what differentiates them from snow storms....

Many fans were excited when Christian Bale was announced to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Gorr the God Butcher. He’s one of the last actors most would expect to take that dive, yet director Taika Waititi was somehow able to convince him. Based on the trailers and footage available so far, it seems he’s going to make for a terrifying addition to the MCU. However, even though he’ll be a godslayer, it will forever be impossible for most fans to still not see him as Batman....

Smartphones, laptops, and electric car batteries rely on cobalt, most of which comes from Congolese mines that employ children. The slick, ultra-modern Apple stores and Tesla dealerships that appear in major cities across North America are a far cry from the cramped cobalt mine shafts, crowded marketplaces, and sludge-filled rivers of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); and yet, the presence of the former is entirely reliant on the existence of the latter....

The long-awaited debut of the Snyder Cut of Justice League is finally only a few weeks away, meaning the promotional tour is kicking into high gear. Director Zack Snyder has been quite open about teasing what’s coming in this cut for most of the past year as he works to build up anticipation for a project more than three years in the making. Over the weekend, the likely-final trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League released, teasing new footage and action that will come in this four-hour movie....

I know that recycling underwear has nothing to do with food, but I also know that this is information that most of my readers will find useful. I’ve heard conflicting stories about what happens to used underwear and bras when they are donated to thrift stores. I’ve been told they are sold to be cleaned, shredded and used as filler. I’ve been told they often just get thrown away. I’m never sure if throwing them in a separate bag and adding them with other thrift store donations is a good idea or not....
