While the Multiverse is a concept explored in both Loki and Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s not until Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that it’s really expanded upon in full. The concept was teased even before those three projects—Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio actually claims to be from another universe shortly after his introduction in Far From Home. Sure, he was lying, but it still counts as a tease. What’s interesting about the sequence, however, is how he claims that the universe he has arrived in is designated Earth-616....

In his column titled Musings of an energy nerd, Martin Holladay claims that every house needs roof overhangs. Now I happen to be a big fan of Martin’s writing, and completely agree that we have much to learn from the traditional ways of building; there are reasons people built this way. I have sometimes taken such extreme traditional positions that Martin actually called called me a Luddite. But when it came to the renovation of my own home, I reverted to type; I am at heart a modernist....

While Robert Downey Jr. is still one of the biggest names in the film industry, much of it due to his role as the MCU’s Iron Man in recent years, he’s not the only Downey that’s getting his due recognition.Downey Jr. was last seen in the MCU when he left behind the franchise with Tony Stark’s death in Avengers: Endgame. But since then, he’s remained incredibly busy with other movie roles and new endeavors outside of the movie industry....

Still, the anticipation surrounding the show is high, considering that it will be set in the city where Batman resides. The plot details of Gotham Knights are still shrouded in secrecy, but it is expected to revolve around Bruce Wayne’s adoptive son who forms a team that is composed of children of Batman’s enemies....

In the final moments of the Iman Villani-led series, it was revealed that Kamala Kahn is actually a mutant, with a few notes of the X-Men ‘97 theme music playing in the background. This marked the first X-Men reference in the prime MCU universe and a change from Kamala’s comic book origins. But what was it like finally getting permission from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to use that mutant twist on-screen?...

With the finale of Disney+’s Loki breaking open the doors of the MCU’s multiverse, anything is possible, and What If…? is set to explore that very notion. Penned by A.C. Bradley and directed by Bryan Andrews, Marvel Studios’ first animated project will take key moments from the Infinity Saga and turn them on their heads, thereby exploring new stories with well-known characters. Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter will become the new Captain America in the form of Captain Carter, taking charge of the show as a whole and becoming the face of the series....

After becoming one of the worst-reviewed movies of 2022, Sony Pictures’ Morbius earned award nominations at the parody show known as the Razzies.Almost no movie in recent memory has hit as many lows as Morbius, which has become the joke of the superhero movie universe since its release in April 2022. Starting right from its opening weekend by earning less money than any MCU movie in history at the box office, things only got progressively worse as fans and critics trashed it from every angle....

We’re so accustomed to symmetry in the face that when nature throws an eye-color curveball, the effect is pretty striking. Most of us have two eyes. Most of us have two eyes of the same color. But for those with heterochromia iridis, the irises don’t follow convention – and with complete heterochromia the color of the eyes are altogether different. While the rate of congenital heterochromia iridis in humans is approximately six out of a 1,000, and many of those cases are very subtle, it is much more common in animals....

A representative of the industry says I shouldn’t be picking on fiber glass. He’s right. This TreeHugger used to complain a lot about fiber glass insulation, but much has changed over the last few years. I recently wrote Over half the new homes in the USA are insulated with fiberglass batts where I ate some of my earlier words and noted: My main complaint about it was that “nobody understands how to install it properly to minimize air leakage or wants to spend the time and money doing it....

These little stacks of stones might be fun to build, but their proliferation around the globe is turning into a real problem. An invasive species has appeared on remote beaches, hiking trails, hilltops, and lookouts all around the world. Inanimate, made of local materials, and fairly easy to dismantle, it might not seem like a problem at first glance, but in reality it is. I am referring to a simple stack of stones, also known as an ‘inukshuk’ when in human-like form....

As WandaVision comes to a close, cast and crew are looking back at the work they’ve done on Marvel’s first Disney+ series.

An actor on the show who got to dive into most of these various time periods is Victoria Blade, who appears in most of the mid-episode advertisements referencing Wanda’s trauma as the “Commercial Lady”....

Q: I’m normally not one to worry about appearances but I take a heck of a lot of pleasure in a well-manicured yard. In the past few years I’ve gone green around my garden by successfully ditching synthetic fertilizers and herbicides. All is fine and well aside from the current bane of my existence: moles. The little vermin have left my lawn looking like a moon crater. I can’t figure out how to rid my yard of the pests without resorting to jaws-of-death mole traps that are actually illegal to use in my state (ssssh)....
