Marvel Studios’ third Disney+ show, Loki, is set to air its big finale in just two days. While Marvel theories are laser-focused as to what all of that may entail, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the MCU to return. The next series on the roster is set to be What If…?, an animated show set in the MCU that is to explore the ever expansive multiverse this August....
U.S. tap water is some of the cleanest on Earth, generally safe from the microbes and chemicals that have plagued humans’ water supplies for millennia. While much of the planet relies on paltry and/or polluted drinking water, Americans can fill a glass with relatively low risk of cryptosporidium, chromium or chlordane. This hasn’t always been the case, however — and in many parts of the country, it still isn’t. More than 45 years after the first Earth Day ushered in a new era of environmental awareness, millions of Americans still drink dangerous tap water without even knowing it....
Marvel and DC both have demonstrated insanely high output of theatrical releases in recent years, and 2023 will be no exception, with seven movies coming between the two - on top of five Disney+ series from the MCU. The upcoming year will be packed with sequels for iconic heroes, debut flicks for popular characters, and long-awaited ensemble events. Despite having spent years trying to catch up to the MCU, DC has continually struggled to live up to its comic book competition when it comes to interest, awareness, and box office success....
Even while the MCU is officially back in action with its first Disney+ show, the team behind the most successful franchise in movie history is far from done making waves. 2021 is set to be the most jam-packed year for the MCU since it began nearly thirteen years ago. It brings six Disney+ series and four movies releasing in theaters. These movies will include the long-awaited prequel in Black Widow, one of the biggest MCU sequels to date in the untitled Spider-Man 3, and two origin movies in Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings....
Moon Knight star Ethan Hawke addressed the chances that he’ll return to the MCU after his run on Disney+ in 2022.Even for the success it had during its six weeks on Disney+, Moon Knight’s future remains one big mystery as fans are still waiting to find out where Marc Spector will make his return. After all, Oscar Isaac’s solo series set up a powerful new hero with ties to the supernatural and Egyptian mythology and brought thriling new characters like Ethan Hawke’s Arthur Harrow into the mix....
Ms. Marvel surprised audiences across the world when it first aired its episode. Somehow, the Disney+ series was able to break past early controversy and make viewers fall in love with the quirky and lovable Kamala Khan, though Iman Vellani’s pure vibrancy no doubt played a big role. To make everything better, the character also happens to basically be like every fan watching: a massive Avengers fan. The show is chock full of references, such as tributes to the deaths of Natasha Romanoff and Iron Man, countless Marvel cosplays, and more Captain Marvel mentions than one could count....
Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch has had an incredible run of success in Phase 4, which started off with her leading efforts in 2021’s WandaVision to kick off the entire Multiverse Saga. She then became the primary antagonist in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, although that sequel ended with her seemingly meeting her end on Mount Wundagore.Considering Wanda is arguably the most powerful character in the MCU, it’s no surprise that fans already expect Olsen to return to the role eventually, particularly with that flash of light that was seen in the rubble....
No, Superman was not at the Warner Bros. DC Comic-Con showcase, but WB did bring a couple of their superheroes to San Diego for their time in the sun. The paramount of these were Shazam and Black Adam. Both are set to round out DC’s theatrical slate for 2022 with Shazam! Fury of the Gods releasing in December and Black Adam in October. The two heroes (played by Zachary Levi and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the big screen) have a long-time rivalry in the comics....
While Warner Bros. and its work in the world of DC have been making headlines in recent days, the studio’s latest super-powered effort continues its run in theaters and onto streaming services. The Batman debuted in early March to rave reviews, quickly providing a beloved take on the caped crusader and a breath of fresh air for a DC name that had been on the sidelines in recent years. The film offered fans a glimpse at a Bruce Wayne who is still figuring out what it really means to be Batman, as the titular hero examined a series of serial murders....
The DC Extended Universe is slowly working to build back hype and anticipation for its next round of movies, an effort that’s slightly more difficult after the mixed reviews from Wonder Woman 1984’s release over the 2020 holiday season. Director James Gunn already has quite the buzz swirling for The Suicide Squad in August, and in the non-canon department, Zack Snyder’s Justice League will make its long-awaited arrival next week. Next year will bring a movie that has seen its fair share of production troubles in Ezra Miller’s The Flash....

Forget cold two-minute showers. You can still enjoy yourself while conserving water. Whenever I see an article on how to make one’s shower routine greener or more efficient, I recoil in discomfort. My bath or shower time is one of the highlights of my day, a rare chance to escape the noise and chaos of family life and to warm myself thoroughly before crawling into bed. The idea that I should turn down the heat or shorten the length of time under the water makes me feel horribly depressed....
I touched on cracked tomatoes in the post on three common tomato problems in the garden. In light of a recent weather change I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the topic and provide a bit more info. After extended dryness we’ve gotten a bit of moisture. The welcomed rain is unfortunately starting to cause some tomato cracking in the garden. Let’s look at the causes of tomato cracks and ways you can salvage your harvest....
One of Marvel Studios’ biggest projects on the way in 2022 is Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a movie that will expand on the still mysterious hidden African nation and its people. Featuring beloved characters like Danai Gurira’s Okoye and Letitia Wright’s Shuri, this sequel will be just the start of a Wakandan revolution of sorts within the MCU. The country made its mark on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in flashbacks with Bucky Barnes and epic fights against Zemo, all before more Wakanda-centric Disney+ entries come into play later in Phase 4....
Now that Lucasfilm is officially finished with its first Disney+ series of 2022 in The Book of Boba Fett, Star Wars’ story will take a blast to the past with Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi. The limited series will see McGregor return to the iconic role for the first time since 2005’s Revenge of the Sith as fans see his exile on Tatooine fully come to life. For all the excitement surrounding McGregor’s long-awaited return to the role, the marketing campaign for Obi-Wan Kenobi has yet to truly kick off ahead of its release this year....
If your cat stares at you when you’re eating ice cream, it can be tempting to share your tasty snack. But milk-based products can have some pretty unpleasant side effects for your feline friend. Cats don’t have enough lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose in dairy products, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A little ice cream might cause your cat to vomit or have diarrhea....

The death of Loki at the hands of Thanos during Avengers: Infinity War shocked fans, ultimately ending the journey of Thor’s brother once and for all. However, the sadness of MCU diehards was put to rest when a Disney+ series revolving around the character was officially announced. Loki marks the Phase 4 return of Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief, but with an intriguing twist. This is an alternate version of the character that escaped the Time Heist during Avengers: Endgame, but he was apprehended by the Time Variance Authority since he veered away from the Sacred Timeline....
Over a decade has now passed since The Incredible Hulk was released in 2008 and marked the only appearance of Edward Norton’s Bruce Banner. The early MCU blockbuster sent Banner on the run from the government who were hot on his tail as Thunderbolt Ross sought after the Hulk. But ultimately Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky, aka Abomination, proved to be the climactic threat as the soldier, became a monster after taking a super-soldier serum in his struggle to take on the Hulk....
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige once said that it was always the plan for the sequel to Black Panther to explore Wakanda more, describing it as “a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures.” Co-star Lupita Nyong’o also said that the sequel “very much honors [Chadwick Boseman] and his legacy.” Furthermore, at Disney’s Investor Day event, not only was it confirmed that Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel would co-star with Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel 2, but that Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau would join the cast too....
