Loki Is Officially The First Queer Superhero In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
It's more than just a tease, though – actor Tom Hiddleston, as well as the show's head writer Michael Waldron, have confirmed in interviews that Loki is gender-fluid in the latest Marvel TV series, meaning that he doesn't identify all the time as exclusively male or female.

Dancing with the Bad Boys
I have a thing for the bad boys—at least when they're safely within the realm of fictional content. It's been a problem for a while, but I think it's only getting worse with age since I'm still finding myself caught up in the stories that feature tortured men who feel a bit too deeply and who make all the wrong choices in pursuit of their goals. (I'll be counting Kylo Ren from the Star Wars sequel trilogy on that count; thanks, Disney!)

‘Cruella’ Is a Very Odd, Yet Highly Watchable Disney Departure
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who asked for a 134-minute origin story of a character who originated in a 79-minute cartoon, but alas, Cruella is here. Since the film premiered, much of the conversation has seemed to stem from a similar thought. Questions like, “why do we need this?” or, “who is this for?” have dominated the discourse. Frankly, I find that angle mostly unhelpful and counterproductive. Of course, a bloated prequel to a Disney villain may not be the most ideal way to spend one’s time, but such questions are often more revealing about the person asking them than the film itself. It’s a line of thinking that seems to suggest the person asking it has a very narrow view of what entertainment can be, and they don’t have the presence of mind to think that other people just might have a different perspective that makes something like Cruella worth watching.

Who was Ed Dillinger's Wife in Tron Legacy?
So who was Ed Dillinger’s wife ? We saw in TRON that Dillinger was probably single? I mean he didn’t ever talk about his wife. And he worked all the time and was late as well. So did Dillinger even have time for a wife? If he did they never made this clear in Tron Legacy. I mean is Tron Legacy we just see Ed Dillinger Jr. But who is his mom this is a question that needs to be answered.

Doctor Who - Engines of War Review
In Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor", the show introduced a hitherto unknown incarnation of the Doctor who had fought in the oft-mentioned Last Great Time War. Lying between the eras of Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor and Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor, stage and screen legend John Hurt brought a whole new incarnation of the character to life, and, in the process, blew open the doors to a whole new, unexplored era of the show. In 75 minutes, he created a character that was begging to be explored beyond "Day of the Doctor", and helped revitalise the concept of the Time War, which, by that time, was feeling a little bit dull and well-trodden. And, while it would be up to Big Finish and Titan Comics to do a lot of the heavy-lifting for this Doctor, BBC Books did actually make the first move on fleshing out this version of the character with the novel "Engines of War". Penned by Doctor Who alumni George Mann, this is a novel that gives us a fantastic insight into an era of the show that many thought would never be explored, while showing what led this Doctor towards how he planned to end the Time War at the beginning of "Day of the Doctor".

Did We Really Need It? —— A Quiet Place Part II movie Review
I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t enjoy this movie. However, there were times where I thought, was this worth making? The first movie was phenomenal and well worth the admission ticket. However, at the end of this movie, I walked out thinking “okay.” It’s not a bad movie at all, it’s just kind of here to continue the story for the first movie a bit. I do, however, recommend watching it on your own to get your take on it, because it seems like a movie that people will enjoy or they won’t. Maybe a third movie will be released to help improve this one, but since the writers seemed reluctant to make this one, we will just have to see.

Are You Okay Bo? —— Bo Burnham: Inside Review
Bo Burnham has always been an out-of-the-box comedian. His use of music and sketches to perform his comedy is both hilarious and insightful. He has briefly tackled man important topics such as the negative implications of performance and comedy itself, mental health, and even the idea of God. Recently Bo Burnham has released a new special, after a long hiatus, called Inside. Inside was recorded, edited, and performed all by Bo Burnham himself, and compared to his other specials, you could say it’s… different. While I did enjoy the special, there were times where I felt concerned for the comedian until I was suddenly thrust into another song or sketch. It made me question if all of it was just a joke to bring awareness to the decline of one's mental health during these trying times, or if Bo is truly struggling during the process of making the special.
