The Falcon and the Winter Soldier may not show up on everyone’s favorite Marvel Studios Disney+ entries, but it was the birthplace of the next Captain America—so it was still a pretty big deal. With Steve Rogers gone, it was time for Sam Wilson to pick up the mantle and carry on his legacy. However, among the kinks in that journey was John Walker, who was appointed as the new Star-Spangled hero by the US Government....
While Marvel Studios has various teams in play like the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, the franchise hasn’t yet tackled the idea of a group featuring a roster of darker and more villainous characters before. This could come into play someday with the Thunderbolts, Marvel’s classic group of antagonists from the comics, and rumors have hinted that they may be in line for a starring role in Phase 4 or later....
The MCU’s Phase 4 is filled with many cliffhanger endings, leaving fans to wonder what comes next for a certain character or upcoming project. WandaVision began the trend by showcasing an open-ended ending where Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff is seemingly corrupted by the Darkhold, thus leading to her fateful heel turn in Multiverse of Madness. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki ended by showing the God of Mischief trapped in an alternate version of the Time Variance Authority led by Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror as the Multiverse was unleashed....

On the other hand, fans were delighted when they finally saw Kamala Khan’s costume for the Ms....

Google Street View is a magical, marvelous thing. After launching in a handful of U.S. cities in 2007, the search engine giant’s ever-expanding mapping technology now allows users to explore Antarctica, tour the Kennedy Space Center, wander through the wreckage spawned by the catastrophic Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and saunter through museum galleries in far-flung countries such as Qatar, India and Iraq. For many users, however, the thrill of using Google Street View doesn’t always involve taking a leisurely virtual stroll down your suburban lane of your childhood from thousands of miles away, scaling the ancient monuments of Teotihuacan from your home office in Topeka, or following the route of the Tour de France from bed during a particularly rough bout of insomnia....

The upcoming sequel took over a decade (13 years exactly) before its eventual release due to multiple setbacks. One of such challenges boiled down to its budget, with past reports claiming that Avatar 2 costs $250 million to make....
“What is the best Marvel movie?” is perhaps one of the most difficult questions to answer. Sure, Avengers: Endgame will always be at the top of people’s minds when ranking Marvel movies, but I believe other MCU movies do an equally fantastic job if rewatched for a second time. The reality is that the MCU isn’t just big, it has evolved into an entertainment mammoth franchise with over 28 films and some TV series thrown into the mix....

A small hospital in California’s Central Valley is taking a unique approach to health care, allowing spiritual shamans to perform healing ceremonies on patients in conjunction with the hospital staff’s more traditional medical care. The Hmong, an ethnic minority in Vietnam, were recruited to work alongside U.S. forces during the war. Subsequently, many fled Vietnam after the war to avoid persecution. Many of these refugees settled in areas such as St....
What’s your first instinct when you see a spider in your vegetable or flower garden? Hopefully it’s not to squish it or spray it with an insecticide. Although it may be hard to convince an arachnophobe to roll out the welcome mat for these creatures that creep so many people out, spiders are good guys in gardens. That’s because spiders eat the insects that feed on plants and vegetables in the garden, reducing vegetable yields and chewing holes in the leaves and flowers of ornamental gardens....

Before you head outside when the temperatures start to soar, here’s a look at summer weather and how to stay safe when the mercury skyrockets....
Iron Man 3 was a divisive film, to say the least. The biggest part of that reaction stems from the big twist in the movie: Ben Kingsley’s The Mandarin isn’t actually the infamous villain—he’s actually just a struggling actor who was hired by a terrorist organization to play pretend.The overwhelmingly negative response led Marvel Studios to try and take back the twist by having Kingsley kidnapped by the real Mandarin—who audiences end up seeing in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings....
