Time passes differently in the MCU. Due to Avengers: Endgame’s five-year leap into the future, the MCU timeline has become, well, complicated. To make matters worse, the pandemic reshuffled the release schedule of Marvel’s Phase 4 slate, which also included the Black Widow prequel and the Multiversal Loki. Therefore, to learn where the latest film or series, such as Moon Knight, falls on the timeline, fans have had to rely on Disney+....

New building technologies might make it cheaper and faster, too. Anyone who has been to Penn Station in New York City knows it to be a horrible place. In 1963 they basically lopped off everything above grade and left the basement. Comparing it to what was lost, historian Vincent Scully wrote: “One entered the city like a god; one scuttles in now like a rat.” Critic Michael Kimmelman wrote: The National Civic Art Society is doing a major push with a new ad campaign, and have released glorious new renderings by Jeff Stikeman....

The jury is still out on whether hydrogen will ultimately be our environmental savior, replacing the fossil fuels responsible for global warming and various nagging forms of pollution. Two main hurdles stand in the way of mass production and widespread consumer adoption of hydrogen “fuel-cell” vehicles: the still high cost of producing fuel cells; and the lack of a hydrogen refueling network. The High Cost of Building Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Vehicles Reining in manufacturing costs of fuel-cell vehicles is the first major issue the automakers are addressing....

The video game industry has long been trying to pull the biggest superheroes into gaming. After all, the two are clearly a perfect fit. As a whole, these games tend to be hit-or-miss as the industry struggles to adapt these heroes as successfully as film productions like the MCU, but that’s not to say there aren’t major success stories like the Batman: Arkham franchise and Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man. Having suffered a lull for a number of years, superhero games are coming back in a big way over the coming years between Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Midnight Suns, and more....

Because store-bought guacamole has too much packaging and potentially strange ingredients; and bad homemade guacamole is sad. Everyone has their guacamole recipe, and most likely, everyone thinks theirs is the best. But to be honest, mine is the best, really! Having grown up in Southern California with avocado trees in the backyard, I have had a lifetime of perfecting my Los Angelino version of the classic. (And becoming a snob about it in the process, apparently....

When I was a child and would visit my great aunt, we often went to a store where we could buy cookies from bulk bins. I especially loved these cookies that were crisp and shaped like a windmill. I never knew their real name. I just called them windmill cookies. I now know that they’re speculoos, a Belgian spiced shortbread cookie that can be shaped like windmills or other objects. They’re also a very popular cookie to use as an ingredient in cookie butter, a spread that uses cookies as a main ingredient....

After a long wait, Zack Snyder’s Justice League will finally arrive this 2021, officially ending the project’s two-year grassroots campaign from fans. The triumphant moment was realized last May 2020 when it was announced that Snyder’s original version of the 2017 film would be released on HBO Max. From that point on, the visionary director didn’t waste time in sharing interesting tidbits about his Justice League. Snyder accomplished that by being vocal on social media about the behind-the-scenes progress of the film as well as doing a deep dive about the much bigger roles of certain characters like Superman and Cyborg, essentially adding more hype to the highly-anticipated release of the film....

Jaguars are the third-largest cat species on Earth, smaller only than lions and tigers, and the largest one left in the Americas. They’re incredibly sneaky despite their size, though, and excel at fading into the background. They may have been an uncommon sight even in their heyday, when they roamed from Argentina to as far north as the Grand Canyon and Colorado. Still, they’re especially ghostlike today, and not just because of their natural stealth....

Thor actor Chris Hemsworth has revealed his desire to move on from Taika Waititi’s take on the character in his next MCU appearance.The Asgardian God of Thunder has arguably been through more evolutions in the MCU than any other character. From his early Shakesperean days to the slapstick comedy brought on by Taika Waititi in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder - with a strange Bro Thor along the way - the God of Thunder has been through a lot....

Ever since Daredevil was tragically canceled on Netflix, fans have grown eager to see Charlie Cox’s Man Without Fear join the MCU. Now, following his inclusion as Peter Parker’s lawyer in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Matt Murdock is preparing to step into the forefront as a key player in the MCU’s Disney+ line-up. Daredevil will shortly be back alongside fellow-lawyer Jennifer Walters in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law before soon taking on a leading role in Echo....

Even though Ezra Miller’s The Flash has yet to be released in theaters, there are already rumors about the DCEU’s post-Flash plans and how they could involve the franchise’s familiar favorites. One of the leading theories involves a Crisis on Infinite Earths event movie and yet another appearance by Ben Affleck’s Batman. However, there are two problems. The first is that the Warner Bros. Discovery merger made any DCEU plans uncertain; the second is that Batfleck is reportedly ready to retire the cowl for good....

New exciting information about reactions to a screening of the DCU’s upcoming Blue Beetle was just revealed to the public.The DC Studios film, set to release in August, will follow Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) as he learns to adapt to new powers gained from “an alien beetle” binding itself to his body. This origin may sound familiar to fans of the animated show Young Justice, as its second season told a similar story....

Moving into Phase 4, Marvel Studios has taken major strides in terms of its representation of gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation. Just one year in, the MCU has more leading women than ever, more minorities are taking on leading roles, and Eternals featured Marvel’s first gay relationship on-screen. Albeit more subtly, Loki also took a surprising step, as Tom Hiddleston’s hero was revealed to be both bisexual and gender-fluid in his Disney+ series....

An animated X-Men: The Animated Series revival was announced back in November 2021. Re-titled X-Men ‘97, the new series hitting Disney+ promises to continue the story of the original cartoon. This is Disney’s first official X-Men or mutant-related project since the company acquired 20th Century Fox. While the live-action X-Men have been teased in MCU projects Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ms. Marvel, so far, X-Men ‘97 is the only official X-Men project in development....

Q: I recently inherited a beautiful, antique dark cherry wood dresser from my grandparents. It’s a gorgeous piece of furniture. However, it reeks of mothballs. I have been trying to air it out for several days now but it still has quite the pungent smell. I’m cautious to put any of my clothes in the dresser for fear that the stench will transfer and I’ll walk around smelling like a senior citizen from the 1960s....

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, buying flowers for people who care about the environment can be a task fraught with uncertainty. Should you go organic, fair trade or local? Buy online or get delivery? Opt for live plants or go for silk? Each option has its upside and downside. Want to buy local at a florist you can walk to? That’ll be great for your local economy — since buying online, whether from national names or unknown small resellers, usually means your local business is either getting a raw deal or no deal....

When Rick Woodford’s dog Jackson was diagnosed with lymphoma, the sick canine started to lose his appetite. To entice him to eat, Woodford started creating his own mixture of food for his four-legged best friend. It was mostly turkey, carrots and green vegetables, but it did the trick and soon Jackson was eating again. He even had the energy to go on walks and chase the new puppy around the yard....

Having a tiny fridge might work for small households in walkable cities who have plenty of time for multiple shopping trips per week, but for many of us, it’s out of the question. Although changing our shopping and eating habits can be an important part of a healthier lifestyle, and is crucial for lowering our environmental footprint, there are some constraints that can limit those changes, such as our finances, our household size and demographic, and the neighborhood that we live in....

The Mandalorian featured many thrilling scenes featuring Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin. In the show’s first two seasons, Din experienced several battles in the galaxy far, far, away in order to protect Grogu from the Empire’s forces. From hunting down his old crew to ultimately besting Moff Gideon using his Beskar spear, the galactic bounty hunter has gone through many notable encounters. Din’s many badass moments in the galaxy have led many to wonder if he is somehow overpowered, especially considering that he always comes out on top during battles....
